volumes during the year. In the

fury works on the far west, The
includes twenty-six examples of
fifteenth century printing, four OF
which are apparently the only

bookstacks is explained In the re-
port and the need of new ones and
separate utility building to house
such agencies as the. copyright
office, the card division, and the
branch printing office and bindery
is stressed.
More Salary Urged.
With regard to the reclassifiCa-
ton of the library employees it IS
recommended that the chiefs Of the

1t is said, is insufficient in view
of their education and training.

Italy Bars Sale of the
Famous FlOrentinO Gem

BY The Associated Press.
Rome, Aug. 1.-The Italian govern
ment has warned former Empress
zita of Austria that if she sells the
famous Florentino diamond, as she
threatens to do in view of the finan-
cial difficulties in which she finds her
self, the transaction will not be valid
inasmuch as the stone Is Italian prop
erty.
1t is recalled that the gem which
weighs 1891 carats was claimed from
the Hapsburgs by Italy under the
Versailles treaty. The late ex-Em-
peror Charles and his wife took it
with them when they fled from Aus
tria and during their stay in Switzer-
land the diamond was pawned.

Somebody with an excellent knowl-
edge of the Spanish language unjust
have taken Luis Angel Firpo aside and
told him what lambasting he would
receive should he meet Jack Dempsey
during the month of September. Right
off the South American "senyor"
changes his ideas and is now trying
to postpone the engagement in which
he would meet his Waterloo and
Chateau Thierry all combined into one
big defeat. 1t Is nobody's fault how
ever but Firpos that he signed a con-
tract with Richard to meet the cham
pion on the Il th Of next month. He
did it without the sanction Of Jimmy
De Forest, his veteran trainer and ad-
wiser, who said that If these two met
next month Firpo would be going
into slaughter house" Jimmy is
positively right-nothing else but.
1t is evidently the idea of Dempsey
and Jack Kearns, his manager, to dis
pose of the Argentinian before he does
any damage or takes up any of the
spotlight that Dempsey is supposed
to enjoy. A year from now Firpo
might be worth considering, but at the
present time he has little chance of
winning from Dempsey.
In the meantime what is going to
be done about Harry Wills, contender
for the heavyweight title? Mister
Wills and his manager, Paddy Null
Inns, are going to take the matter up
and have the promoters some to a
showdown" why they haven't been
considered for bout. Public opinion,
aided by the newspapers, is surely,
bringing on the bout and the time is
not far distant when Wills and Demp-
sey will be matched.
Sportdom has again fallen back on
one Of its old reliables to maintain its
honors. When Johnny Weismuller was

Two veteran players of the major
leagues boast of the fact that their
throwing arms have never been weak.
John (Pincus) Quinn and Hank
Gowdy are Dragging of that fact and
it is one that can be rightfully brag-
ged of. Quinn, with the Boston Red
Sox, has pitched for % years without
feeling any lameness in his soupbone.
Gowdy, now of the Giants but former
ly with the Boston Nationals, has
played major league ball FOR going on
twelve years or more and has handled
game after game with the best of
ability. Though he is aging now there
are very few that have as brilliant
records behind them as Hankus Pank-
us, as he Is known. How many of the
younger players of today will be able
to brag of that when they have been
in baseball for at least ten years?

Bridgeport over New Haven was July

ers trimmed McCann's team six

Today is big day for the baseball
fans of New Haven with the pennant
raising program in addition to the reg
ular game. There are going to be
some baseball celebrities on hand. In
addition to the dignitaries who have
promised to attend, two of baseball's
best known celebrities, Nick Altrock
and Al Schacht, intend to rehearse
some of their stuff" for the world
series. Altrock and Schacht are the
Gallagher and Shean of baseball and
whatever they do is so funny that even
the most dignified have to laugh.
George Weiss, popular owner of the
New Haven Profs, has planned a day
that won't be forgotten. If the weather
man wants to be in the good favor of
the Elm City fans it is best he sends
them the choicest samples of his
weather possible.
The New Haven pennant winning
club of 1922 is pretty well shot" as
far as it's roster of last year is con-
cerned. All that are& left of the team
of 1922 are Eugene Martin, outfielder,
Elmer Bowman, first baseman, Geo.
Cykowski and Ray Joyce, pitchers.
Weiss disposed of several good players
this spring but he got men that were
practically equal in ability in return.
One player that Weiss lost who
would have helped the club lot if he
had remained is William (Pinky)
Hargrave. Washington took Har-
grave and have used him frequently
at third. The former Prof can handle
any position but pitch and do the job |
acceptably. Even in his first year he
is reckoned at one of the best utility
men in the majors so there is little |
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1923-08-01

chance that he will return to New
Haven. ....

SOME GOOD FEATURES, AT ANY
RATE

PROPOSALS for direct tax where
with to raise funds for the Cniver-
sity of Maine and for certain classes
of highway have one decidedly good
feature in their favor without going
into argumcnt-thcy are in line with
a pay-as-you-s policy instead Of
imposing the burden on those who
come after us.
Whether they may be so framed
as to meet other requirements re-
mains to be seen but at the incep-
ton they may be commended for an
inherent right principle. Another
feature in their favor especially as
applied to a going concern; if they
may be fitted originally to the re-
quirements they avoid the necessity
of bringing needs to every Legisla-
ture and entering the scramble for
funds. This would seem especially
advantageous in the instance of an
institution with definite work to
perform, concerning which fairly ac-
curate estimates might be made.
The head and the friends of such an
institution should be able to do bet
ter work, better for all concerned. if
not harassed by the necessity of 60

WHAT is ASKED FOR,
EFT CETERA.

The POSTMASTER at the banquet of
the Maine Fish and Game Associa-
ton said the refrain running through
his mind was:
THE rose is red.
"The pink is pink:
You'll get ali you ask for
Il don't think"
And there's that.
And there's always that when it
comes to asking government, State
or national, for anything. The asker
knows that he won't, as a rule, get
what he asks for, even though every
cent of it may be needed. He d ,es--
latter he is wise to the ways-what he
thinks he must do if he is to get that
which he believes is absolutely need
cd, ask for more than he needs.
The reasons for this are not far to
seek. They will occur to the mind
diced observer, even though he have
experience and knowledge in greater
degree than anyone else. He is but
one of many applicants. All cannot
have their wishes granted. Jealous
les are likely to arise and become
violent if one applicant should get
all he wanted while the others didn't.
And then what would the voters say?
We can recall the disguised look on
the face of public official once on n
time. He had come to his duties
with high ideals, one of which was
economy. He became convinced that
he could, in certain seasons of the
year. get along with less help in his
office. He accordingly pared to the
bone. and then those above him par
ed some more, on general principles,
YOU know, with anything but
satisfactory result to anyone. He
found that, after he had put in SIN
months at training an employe, not
being able to increase his wage, the
employe went elsewhere. OF course,
it all resulted that he had to pay two
inefficient clerks, say fifteen dollars a
week to do what one good, we'll train
/ ed, $40 n week clerk would have done
better, to say nothing OF the time
wasted in training.
There are many, very many, who
would give the impression of init
macy with economy who wouldn't
recognize it if they met it coming
| down the street.
