Nelu Fishing Boat Giant
 2, Built By Capt. Metzger Launched At Local Harbor

The Giant-2, a new modern fishing boat constructed by Capt. William "BilP' Metzger, one of the widest known shoremen of the city was launched today at the plant of the Bridgeport Motor Co.
 The boat has been under construc- tion since December last, and is one of the trimest crafts of its kind on the New England coast. As she gracious ly slid down the ways into the waters who have worked on the boat cheer ed. The Stratford avenue bridge which is south of the plant was lined with people.
 Model After Giant.
 Capt. Metzger modelled the boat af- ter his famous Giant and personal ly supervised every phrase in the con- struction of the beat. Giant 2 is 40 x 12 feet and has draught of 4 feet. She is equipped with a Bridgeport Motor Co. engine of 4 cycles and 30 horsepower and is built of the finest yellow pine with a seasonable oak frame.
 The boat also has a power holster to haul heavy fish nets and as she will be principally engaged in fishing has an ice room in which 20 barrels of fish can be iced. A we'll for live fish, having a capacity for 2000 pounds is also part of the modern
 Combinat:,n Boat.
 A combination mast for a sail to be used in long runs and when engine trouble develops and a beam thrower is also a part of the boats equipment The cabin which is forward has ac- como odaltions for three men and pro- vision mas been made for stove with which to heat the compartment and which can be used for cooking purposes. selfbailing cockpit

 William Tryon, boss boat builder at the Motor plant for the past 16 years, also greatly aided Capt. Metzger in planning the construction of the Giant
 The boat vii be rigged for the sword fishing season which opens in June. As she is comparatively small and fast 1t is expected that she will prove a success in this line.
 The speed of the Giant-2 is esti- mated at from to 10 knots per hour. The gasoline tanks hold from 110 to 255 gallons which will be entirely filled on long runs. A 50-gallon water tank has been placed in the cabin Of the boat.
 For Bad Weather.
 Another feature distinctive from other fishing boats in this section is thep ilot house over the companion way to used in navigating in bad weather. A wheel steers in the house and a tiller is used to steer aft. The hull has been painted green with buff colored cabin. Capt. Frederick Blake did the decorating on the boat.
 u is expected that before next week is over the boat will be ready for trial runs. Capt. Metzger will and will give her many long runs to prove her seaworthyness.
 He. will spend the summer fishing off Block Island near the eastern winter expects to take the boat to Florida where he is as widely known as he is in this vicinity.
 The Giant-1 was a 30+footer and it was while cruising about the Sound in this boat that he discovered the The Giant-1 has travelled as far South as Key West.

SeIfridge Urges Americans
 To Adopt British Tea Habit

New York. April - Americans should take 40 minutes a day from their work to sip cheering and relax ing tea, declares Sir Gordon Se1- fridge, American-born owner of Eng lands greatest chain of department stores. Drinking tea represents the greatest difference between Ameri- cans and Britishers, he states. If Americans would become tea drink CTS. asserts Britain's merchant prince they'd lose none of their vaunted pep" but would gain a boise and claim that are sorely needed.
 Says Sir Gordon:
 America and England should get together over their teacups. Eng land and America need each other trem mend ously. The trouble is that America is so sure her quick and wig orous ways are best that she goes after England hammer and tongs. This either makes the Britisher laugh or causes him to draw still further

 In exchange for the tea habit, the British merchant prince declared America can teach England democ- racy.

 Sir Gordon was born in Wisconsin. bred in Michigan, trained in New York and Chicago and matured in London. He says all this himself For many years he was connected with Marshal Field & Co. But he wanted a store of his own. Sites in New York were too high-priced. he de clared, and so he went to England;

SQUIRRELS AND ToADsTooLs.

An English naturalist reports that squirrels are fond of fungoid plants. His observation of the animals in stheir natural hauntS showed that they ate with evident relish the Fly Agar'ic, a mushroom deadly poisonous to man. It was noted. though, that they ate only the stalks of the plants, leaving the umbrella cap. untouched. This raises the question to whether the factor of safety lies in the immunity Aof the animal or in the fact that the poisonous substance is concentrated in the rejected parts. If the latter be true it reveals an interesting feature of the instinctive discrimination of these animals.
