HITCHCOCK YOUNGEST
 ON AMERICAN OUTFIT
No. 2 on the Polo Team Is Only Twenty-four Years of Age But
 is a Wizard.

. New York, Aug. 29,-Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., No. ? of the Ameri- can polo team which will defend the international challenge cup against Great Britain, is the youngest and most colorful man on either team.
 Hitchcock, now only A years of age, was shot down by German plane during the war and later escaped from a German prison. His polo career, before and after it's in- terruption by the war, stamps him as one of the nose brilliant players in the world. He is handicapped with the maximum of 10 goals.
 He began to play the game when only 13 and at 16 was member Of the team which won the junior and senior championship. With Dever- eux Milburn, back, J. Watson Webb. No. 1 on the defending American team, he played on the international four which brought the historic cup from England in 1921.
 He was also a member of the open cham pionship winner of 1923 and the American Olympic team at Paris this year.
 Hitchcock comes of his polo abil- ity naturally, his father being player and pioneer in the affairs of the United States Polo association, while his mother also possessed playing ability.

BRENNAN SIGNS

Former AIl.HartIord Quarter
 back to Direct Grinders

Meriden. Aug, es,-Another moie- skin warrior stands ready to tote tho old pigskin for Floyd Boardman's embryo National Guard eleven fol- lowing negotiations of last night when Jimmy Brennan, heady and gifted quarterback Of the All-Hart- lords for the past three seasons, was signed to demonstrate the the- ory of mind over matter for the All- Mcriden outfit-to.be,
 Bonrdman' slatest acquisition to his now complete backheld is a mighty good one. Brennan has starred consistently for the repre- sentation team Of the Capitol City for three full seasons. While not the greatest open-held runner in the world. Jimmy specializes in think Ing processes most Of the time and Is rated perhaps the headiest field general in the state. His general ship can be utilized to advantage in the great backfeld now lined np TOT I1t tfHdIusiHfH. Nlh ipi'Niihi In the quarterback position. Board man can boast of an all-star quar- terback in the line-in Eddie Barni- kow at fullback. Allie Bakos and Walter Downey at the halfback posts and Brennan at the piloting position.
 Floyd used his business talk with Brennan to even more advantage in that he persuaded Jimmy to bring down Perry Bean, Yale varsity end for 1921. and Lilley. the other All Hartford kingman, to talk turkey in few days, Bean and Lilley are both 20o-pound men but very fast, wiry and aggressive in their posi- lions. If they can be added to the ever-increasing roster of the Guard team, some wonderful end play can be expected in the battles fought by the Guards on the gridiron.

BLAME BLUEC0ATS FROM NEW BRITAIN

spring the air is redolent with the
fragrance Of the citrus blossoms, and
no more beautiful picture can be pre-
sented than that Of a Valley home sur
rounded by blossoming citrus.
The planting of citrus has been an
important factor in promotingg general
Identification Of Valley homes. MUIR
serymen point out that the sale of
palms, Towering shrubs and orna-
mentals of all kinds increases in d.
rect proportion to the increase in eft
rus paintings, and the only explanation
Is that citrus paintings have demon
strated to Valley home owners the
pleasure and profit Of home beautifica-
tion..
The planting of citrus has not been
confined to the rural sections. OF
course, the bulk Of the paintings are
on the farms, but there are few town
and city home owners who are not
identifying thdir hfsnes by nlanting
citrus trees which will eventually sup
ply sufficient fruit for the household
and occasional boxes for the market.
Practically the entire Lower Rio Gran
de valley will eventually be an enor-
nous citrus grove is the prediction Of
some of the most enthusiastic growers
who have seen the development Of the
industry accelerated each year. This
prediction may be over optimistic, but
no resident Of the Valley who has been
here since the citrus development
started doubts that the Valleys acre
age will some day exceed that Of some
of the older citrus producing sections
and that Valley fruit will eventually
dominate the markets. If the Valley
can develop $4,000 acres in five years
there is. no limit to the possibilities of
the industry now that national interest
has been aroused and capital has TAX

If the most remarkable l have ever

mia Investigator who inspected the or
chard in October. "In all my expert
ence / have never seen four or five
year-old trees bearing so prolifically.
Neither California nor Florida could
show such an orchard. and there is
only one place where it would be pos
sible-here in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. The orchard is a credit of
Mr.. Snavely's scientific knowledge and
energy. The orchard is remarkably
uniform, both in size Of the tree and
quantity of fruit produced and the
fruit is also very uniform in size,
shape and coloring. When any section
can show such an orchard as this, !
am ready to concede that it will event

ture holds forth for those who have
established scientific cultural methods
and embarked in the industry upon an
extensive scale.
Citrus and Home Identification
Another feature in connection with
citrus development is the charm and
beauty it has added to Valley farm
homes. In every part Of the Valley
the deep green foliage of the citrus or
chards form a background which en-
hances the beauty of the Valley land

|85,OOO HOUSES IN
 BELGIUM REBUILT
SheI-SWept War Zone Of 100000 Acres Again
 HabitabIe

BRUSSELS, Jan. 11 Approxi- mately 100000 houses wore destroyed or damaged seriously in Belgium during tho war, and of these moro than s6,ooo have been reconstructed to date, leaving about 15,o0o still to be erected or put into habitable re- pair. which, 1t is expected. will take about twelve months. Such is the broad fact revealed in ths latest re- turns issued by the department for the reconstruction of the devastated regions of Belgium.
 Some 1900 churches, schools, town halls and other public edifices were destroyed or heavily damaged in the war. A good thousand of these have been rebuilt or repaired. and while these were being rebuilt King AL bert's fund supplied 25o wooden huts to carry on the most urgent of the services formerly effected in the de- stroyed buildings. Schools claimed first attention, more than four hun dred of these buildings being rem dered available before other work was touched.
 That part of Belgium which con- tained the actual battlefield was nothing more than bowling wilder ness at the armistice. From 8 fer tile pasture. of prs-war days, the whole of the Belgian war zone had, by the close of 1918, become a she'll swept waste, with . few branchless trees. some riddled and blackened walls. exploded shelters, ugly trenches and abandoned munition dumps occupying the site of what were in pre-war days, and what are now once again, prosperous farms and moro comfortable homesteads. More than 100000 acres of land have had to be overhauled and leveled up to reach this result, thousands of miles of high and by roads have had to be relaid, endless stretches of rail track and tram lines constructed, water and gas mains put in and bridges and locks rebuilt along the canals, which themselves in many in- stances, have had to. be rebedded. In a word, the very foundations of or ganized and civilized life have had to be relaid. How this work has been accomplished is shown by the fact that of a total population of 315,o00 in the West Flanders war xone-the bulk of whom fled the country be- fore or during the hostilities-nearly 29o,o00 have now returned. A year after the armistice the pumber of re- turned refugees was only 1S9,000
