New Haven, Oct. 19-Easy prac- tlce for the.

Three days of hard work is expected to rAt Yale into shape for the Army game Saturday. The coaches emphatically say they are not pointing the team for the Army game, which, to them, IS regarded merely as a mid-season contest and a good opportunity to try out first line material such as not likely to be afforded by the Brown game next week, or that against Mary land university the week following.
 While the coaches take the Army game in a matter of fact way the uni versity is very enthusiastic over the prospects of a brilliant spectacle and d battle worth seeing. Everyone seems to be chasing the Army game as sec ond only to the Princeton game. The public at large is buying heavily as three-fourths of the 10000 seats ap- parently have been taken up.

STILLMAN CASE IS
 NEAR SETTLEMENT,
One Report Is That Aversion To Furth CT Publicity May Tend To Stop
 Further Action.

New York, Oct 19.-Postponemerar of a hearing in the proceedings in- stituted by James A. Stillman seeking a divorce and impugning the paternity of Baby Guy Stillman, today ted to reports that the litigation might be set- tied out of court or prolonged for sev- eral years because of the inheritances involved.
 At White Plains on Friday Justice Morschauser is scheduled to hear argu- meflts on a motion by John B. Mack 1 in the litigation all the descendants of the late James Stillman, fa1her of the plaintiff in the divorce suit. If the mo- ton should be granted, Charles Chaun- cey Stillman and Ernest c. Stillman brothers of James. A. Stillman; their sisters, Mrs. Percy A.. and lG
 liam G. Rockefeller and all thNU dref would be made parties. Guardia(4 would have to be appointed for all the minor children because the will ot James Stillnian in disposing of $37,- OOO, GOO estate, left trust funds for his grandchildren.
 One report is that aversion to further publicity on the part Nf James A. Still mans brothers and twill inten7 sify efforts for a settlement of the matter out of court. On the other hand it is reported that all the heirs of James Stillman are united in contend ing that Guy Stillman has no legal status under his grandfather's will.

RULES AT LIBRARY
Committee Announces Its Policy Re- garding Popular Fiction-Will Re- serve Non. Fiction Books.

The New Britain Institute library committee, having decided that it is not feasible to reserve fiction for readers, issue the following statement to the public:
 Books, especially popular fiction, have so increased in price that we are unable to duplicate copies as freely as in the past and the reserve system holds the books on the shelves from 24 hours to three days in order to give the reader time to receive postal notice. It can readily be seen that this leads to keeping books away from the public over considerably longer period of time than is needed to read them.
 "okten as many as six reserves have been taken on one book in one day which meant that the book did not reach the general public until it was no longer new.
 Thus it is more nearly fair to all readers to place popular books on the open shelves as soon as they are ready for circulation.
 We wish to serve the citizens of New Britain as efficiently as possible and shall continue to reserve aon-. fiction for readers"

 DOWN FLAG OF J. s.
Paris Embassy Gets Letters as l. Result of Mass. Court Case

Paris, Oct. 19 (By Associated Press) Threats to tear down the American flag over the American embassy here are contained in many letters which have been received at the embassy in the past few days protesting against the conviction in the United States of Nicolo Saceo and Bartolomeo Venzetti, two Italians, for the murder of Frederick A. Parmenter, paymaster of shoe manufacturing establishment at Brain tree, Mass. In all between 300 and 400 letters of protest have been received.
 There have been numerous demon strations by radical clements in Italy over this case, and the communist newspapers here in Paris have taken up the campaign urging tyeir followers to protest to the embassy and announc- ing mass meeting for Friday. It is reported an attemN to demonstrate in front of the embassy is being planned to follow this meeting.
 The Paris police and the French min- lstry of foreign affairs have been noti- fled by the embassy of the receipt of the letters Of protest, including those which carried the threats, and the state department in Washington also has been informed
 AS a consequence, the police and the French government departments have initiated precautionary measures.
 (No action towards sentencing the prisoners in the Braintree case has as yet been taken by the Massachusetts courts, sentence having been temporar- fly stayed and the times for filing ex- captions taken by the defense with a view to an appeal having been extend ed to November 1 at the time of their conviction at Dedham last July).

A new carburetor which cuts down gasoline consumption of any motor and reduces gasoline bills from one-third to one-half is the proud achievement of the Air riction Carbure ,r Co. 14o3 Madiscn St., Dayton, Ohio. This re- Iii n4rkabIe invention not only increases the power of motors from 30 to 50 per cent. but enables every one to run slow on high gear. It also makes it easy to start a Ford or any other car in the coldest weather. You can use the very cheapest grade of gasoline or half gasoline and half kerosene and still get more power and more mileage than you now get from the highest test gasoline All Ford owners can get as high as 34 miles to gallon of gasoline So sure are the manufacturers of the immense saving their new carburetor will make that they offer to send it on 30 days trial to every car owner.
