BASKETBALL TONIGHT
New Haven Kaceys to Tackle New
Britain Quintet At the State
ArTnory Court.

A big crowd is expected to witness
the basketball game at the State
armory tonight when the New Haven
Kaceys will meet Manager Lanpher's
quintet. Interest in the coming of the
Kaceys centers around Tim Cronin
and Billy Dwyer, Hartford men. who
are performing in sensational manner
for the Elm City club this season.
Cronin is the leading point getter in
Connecticut basketball circles. 1t us
ually follows that when Dwyer and
Cronin appear on the New Britain
court, warm encounter occurs. Two
weeks ago, Bill and Tim were forced
to return to their homes on the
short end of a battle, when the New
Britain five downed the Ny combina-
ton after sensational fray. Both
are out for revenge this evening.
The teams will line up as follows:
New Britain: Kilduff and Tyndel, for
wards; Ginsberg, center; Restella and
Pelletier, guards; New Haven Kaceys:
O'Brien ~and Schatzman, forwards;
McCrann, center; Dwyer and Cronin,
guards. There will be a preliminary
game, and dancing will follow the
main contest of the evening.

HOW TO GET thin
Swiss Customs Officials Demonstrate
How TO Reduce Weight of Portly
German Women Smugglers.

Geneva, Feb. 17-Swiss customs Of
ficials at Balo are used to the sight
of fat women coming from Germany,
but when one day last week 10 of
them arrived together, all of extraor-
binary girth, the customs officers be-
gan to grow suspicious.
The portly danes, when questioned,
said they were members Of a Fat
Women's society out for picnic.
However, under the skilful treatment
of the customs searchers the women
began to lose weight rapidly, for it
was found that their underclothes
were covered with small pockets con-
tanning such things as cocaine, scent
and liquors. Forty quarts of the lat
ter were taken from the party. Their

Cirque has just recovered from

would have left for America around
the latter part of the present month.
NJ Eudeine is awaiting the arrival

FACTS
PROPER FEEDING OF HORSES
outline Of Results Obtained In Exper-
iments Conducted at Illinois
Station.

Experiments in the feeding of farm
work horses and mules completed at
the Illinois experiment station indi-
cate that a practical work ration re-
quires approximately a pound OF con-
centrate and a pound Of ~roughage for
every hundred pounds of body weight
of the animal fed. That amount. In
each case. Is divided into three feeds.
Grain Is increased a little when the
animal has to work hard and hay Is
correspondingly decreased. As re-
CARDS hay. it is best to feed most of
it at night and during periods OF ex-
ira hard work not TO allow more than
n pound or so of r0ughage at noon,
while the horse is cooling off. before
being walered and fed again. The
recommendations made by the inyes-
.~igators are to the effect that home
grown feeds should be used and that
legume hay, fed along with ear corn
or preferably ear corn n oats,
should be made an important part of
the roughage. While ii was found
that alfalfa hay ana ear orr are SUI
feient To maintain horses and mules
doing a considerable amount of
medium hard work, it is believed that
part of the alfalfa or clover roughage
may be replaced with timothy hay,
oat hay, oat straw, prairie hay, or
corn slower, and one-third of the corn
ration may be replaced with oats to
good advantage.
In the experiments referred to in
the foregoing grain and hay were fed
in quantities readily consumed by the
animals. The grain fed in the first
three experiments consisted of two
thirds corn and one-third oats. and In
the fourth experiment of ear corn. In
the first experiment clover hay a
fed, In the second nae-half clover and

Addition of Vibrating Device

STREAM OF SPARKS STARTED
Arrangement is Particularly Effective
In improving Running Of Faulty
Engine at Low speed-Ex-
pense Is Small.

The addition OF a vibrating coil will
sometimes remedy serious difficulties
in an ordinary battery ignition system.
Such a system supplies a single spark
and when the ignition, carburization,
cylinders. and valves are in hrst-class
condition, that Is sufficient. When,
however, the ignition coll breaks down,
the ignition mechanism and the car
buretor become worn or are out Of adj
justment, and the cylinders, valves Or
valve stems leak, a succession Of sparks
is apt to improve the running to a
marked degree.

Personal Equation
Interval Elapsing Between instant

"What Is your reaction time or do
you know the value Of your personal
e%quation?"
This has been suggested as a pos
sible question Il be put 10 applicants
for motor vehicle drivers license, ac-
cording to the bureau of public roads
of the Department Of Agriculture. Re
action time is the interval of time
that elapses between the instant a
sign or signal is seen and the neces-
sary action started. A driver starts
to pass another vehicle when sudden
ly "A third vehicle appears which may
block his path. The driver must de-
eide whether to pass the vehicle or
drop back. II his reaction time Is
slow he may not realize the danger
until too late To avert an accident.
Every astronomer who observes
men a star crosses u hair line In his
telescope and presses a key SO that
the time may be electrically recorded
knows that he does not observe the
fact and press the key at the same
time. A correction has to be made
which has been carefully determined
and Is called his personal equation.
1t varies With different people,
Timers Of a foot race with split.

Tie reaction time Of some people
is very slow and undoubtedly Is the
Of many accidents. Does the
public safety require that such people
be denied drivers licenses? The
Bureau of Public Roads Is not yet
ready to advocate such n policy, but
considers that 1t should be investigated
as q possible safety measure.

This expedient IL particularly eff.
fectlye In improving the running Of
a faulty engine at low speed because
the series of sparks occur when the

Is carried from the lower contact to
the top of the distributor. The coil
wire of the circuit breaker connects
with the upper contact, and the other
wiring from circuit breaker to switch
