He thought the type. they used was too old and out of date, in many cases, that an excessive number of type styles were used in the same ads. that the ads, as a rule, appeared crowded and lacked sufficient space.
 However, he awarded first prize to the "Darien Review" for the best home-set advertisement; second prize to the "Watertown Times" and third prize to the "New Canaan Adver- tiser." Except for a belief on his part that the advertisements in ques- tion were outlined by experts in the employ of the advertisers, he would have awarded first prize, he said, to tsle "Greenwich News & Graphic" second to the Rockville Leader, and third to the Rockville Journal"

PINE GROVE NOTES

The Rev. Neil preached on Sun day afternoon from Proverbs 29-1 -2. There was a very good attend ance. Mir. Neil gives a real inter pretation of Gods word, from which his hearers derive much benefit. We are very glad to say he will be with us during August. Brother" Beck CT presided at the organ in his usual good style, and as there were several persons among us, who said they made a special tip over frcm Twin Lakes to attend our Sunday after noon service, we feel much en- couraged.
 The week past has been an un- usually lively one. Mrs. Jordan of Rockledge (and New York; gave card party on Wednesday afternoon.
 "The Beckers" of the Cedars, gave a breakfast on Wednesday morning. "The Barretts" from the Lakes and Mrs. Crane were among the guests, after which there was a motor trip, followed by a real southern chicken dinner. Mrs. Garrison being the chief chef, was assisted by others. So that each guest had a finger iuf the pie. However it did not turn out according to the old proverb, "Too many cooks spoil the broth" for it was indeed a dinner fit for the Gods".
 In the evening there was an exidos for Twin Lakes-at the Barretts for dance and general good time.
 On Friday afternoon, Mrs. Beers (of Bridgeport) and Mrs. Hazel, who is stopping at the Inn entertained at cards. The party was given on the upper porch of the Inn, and there were several tables of Five hundred, Among the guests were Mesdames Bowden, Jordan, Garri- son, Becker, Crane, Gerarden, O'Dnato, Mapes and Miss Mapes, Mrs. Williams, and others. The prizes were very we'll selected, the first was won by Mrs. Delos Becker, 2d Miss Laura Mapes, Sd Mrs. Ge- rarden. Refreshments were served in mid afternoon, iced drinks, and cakes. Some of which were made by Mrs. Williams of the Inn who's homemade cakes can not be sur passed.
 The evening brought forth a fare we'll party at the Lakes for our very versatile MT. Burress, who has for the past two weeks been a guest at ''The Cedars". MT. Burress left Sat urday morning for ashouse party in western New York, where we trust (with his many accomplishments he will be as much appreciated as he was here. Not only as a tenor solo, ist, (with a voice of unusual qual- ity and feeling), for making good coffee is one of his great camping specialties, and we understand that he built an entire rear porch at the Cedars, also put up the front porch awnings-and last, but not least let us not forget how we'll he dances l-"Long may he live".

 been vitually created by this slash, he said, for fires once under head way in such a situation could not be stopped at the boundary of the lot, and therefore damaged many others
 The most expensive fire of the season, the extinguishing of which cost the state and New Haven Coun- ty $674, gained headway in this way, according to MT. Hawes, on a large area recently cut over by one of the brass companies.
 Whether large forest areas are to be destroyed in this way and con ditions suitable for future fires created is a matter for the people of the state to decide" said his state ment. Much can be done through state appropriations in the purchase of additional fighting equipment, but 1t is practically impossible to pre- vent these fires so long as large areas of dry slash are created. As every one knows, fires burn very slowly through we'll managed forests from winch the deadwood has been removed and the proper distribution of belts of clean forest would doubtless uo much to eliminate these disastrous fires"
 It is these disastrous although in- frequent fire seasons which makes it impracticable for insurance com panies to insure standing timber, in the opinion of the state forester, and it is his aim to make timber property sufficiently safe so that it may even tually be insured at a fair rate.
 The enforcement of existing laws on forest fires will also be discussed at the prevention meeting next week Thirty-three convictions were se- cured during the past season for violations of these laws, but in most cases, MT. Hawes said the fines im- posed by the justices were only $5 or $10. 'In view of the destruction of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property, these fines ore insignificant" he added. "Until the judicial branch of the state govacn- ment appreciates the seriousness of these fires, and the impossiblity of building up good forests as long as they occur, it will be difficult to pre- vent them"

erable reduction in the price before
this drop. as manufacturers had &C
cumulated considerable sticks due TO
the slow sales of the most expensive
substance in the world. Then large
deposits of very rich, easily worked
ore were found in Katanga, near
Elzabethville, in the extreme southern
rart of Belgian Congo.
These deposits consist of veins
carrying pitchblende. in the property
of the Union Miniere du Haut- Katan-
ca. a British Belgian company opcrat-
ing great copper mines in Katanga.
4 subsidiary company was formed
and a plant erected at Oolen, near
Antwerp, TO produce radium. Ore
carrying many times as much radium
as the carnotite ores that have gov
e.ned the worlds markets has been
shipped to Belgium. 1t is not known
whether these deposits will yield as
much radium in the aggregate as the
deposits in the Western plateau re-
sion of. the United States: But con-
siderable quantity can be produced
from the Katanga deposits at a much
lower cost, and it is that cost that
rules the radium market today,
Recognizing the advantage pos
sessod by the foreign producers, The
American companies have closed their
mines and undertaken to market The
African product. Government, phys
icians, hospitals and philanthropists
row have an opportunity to buy "a
dium at minimum cost. 1t seems
improbable that the price will go low
er, say the authorities of the Geolo-
gioal Survey. Eventually the prln-
cipal source of radium will again be
the carnotite deposits of the West and
then. if not before, the price will rise
gain.
Wealthy ard benevolent men thus
have q fine opportunity at this time
to buy radium and help sure sufferers
from cancer and some other malignant
diseases York World.

the announcement by the United

proved of very great efficacy in the
treatment OF cancer and some other
diseases.
The price Of radium is now adver-

PENN RUNNERS TO- MEET BIG TEAMS ACROSS THE SEA
Walter Camp Writes About Dangers of 0yertraining
 of Athletes
By WALTER CAMP Special Correspondent of The Age-Herald Copyright, 1923, by The AEe-Herald)

(COpyright, 1929, by The Age-Herald)
 New York, March 19.-Pennsyl- vania's four-mile relay team will sail Tuesday for England to compete against Oxford and Cambridge ath- ietes. The team, which Is under the management of that able trainer Lawson Robertson, consists of Cap tain Brown, head J. Kerr, $. Kerr and McLane. It Is a good team and should acquit itself creditabIy.
 Meanwhile, Penns track develop ment will not come to a standstlll by any means. for George orton, who has it in charge. has a bunch of able assistants. to help him in bring ing the Red and Blue athletes along for later events this year. Among them are Alvin Crantzlien, the former star hurler and broad jumper, and Landors and Bob Maxam.
 Track Season Near
 All this makes us realize how close the real opening of the track season is. It is good thing that this Is so, for not only is the public bit surfeited with indoor meets. but there is a question whether too much indoor work is not detrimental to the development of staying qualities in the athletes.
 Perhaps the late lamented Johnny Overton was a good example of this. There Is no question but that he took too much out of himself in in- door meets to be able to last through the later outdoor season. Moreover. our training seasons are getting to be too long for really good physical effort. There used to be closed season in athletic sports in mid-winter, so that the athlete had something of shift in interest and viewpoint. The period of relaxa- tion was really an excellent thing.
 Now the rowing man gets into an indoor tank or on a rowing machine in January and sees nothing in front of him but the broad back of an- other oarsman until the end of June. The track athlete no moro than gets through fall games until he piunges into indoor contests which last until March. when he begins to prepare himself for the outdoor season. Tho baseball man bats, fields srounders and throws in the heavy close air of the cage from the first of January to the middle of March.
 Too Much Grind
 All this is too much of a grind. No athlete improves his general phy- sical condition very materially excep. purely from the muscular side, by Indoor work. The old timer in foot ball is prone to despise the modern player because he cannot stand long scrimmagfng, such as was common in the old days. Perhaps there Is a req son behind this, and if there is we ought to know 1t, for most football
