 Football fans will get good line on the Hartford high eleven tomor- row when they play the Stuyvesant high of New York at Clarkin field. Hartford will have to show every thing she has to come through.
 The latest Eastern league dope is that both New Haven and Worces- ter will drop out of the circuit.
 The release of George Talbott by the All New Britain management does not strike 8 responsive chord with the fans.
 Unquestionably, Talbott has for gotten more real, inside football than Fully ever knew or will know. Admittedly. Fully is more spectacu- lar and can carry the ball better than George; but, when headwork counts, George always was there.
 The management has admitted this when, in close games, Talbott always was called in at the critical moment to direct the play that might, and usually did. result in a tally.

Rogers Hornsby, in batting weyy over 400 for 1924, again leads the National League and sets new rec ord of topping that organization for five successive years. He is the most consistent batsman in the majors.
 Moore, who was used in the out field during the flag end of the sea- son because of his hitting, came to the Pttsburg club as an inhelder. Earlier in the campaign he did great work in place of Traynor at third.
 Bob Meusel of the New York Americans has the strongest and most accurate throwing arm in the majors He literally throws strikes on every ball from the outfield.
 0utfelder Ken Williams of the St. Louis Browns used a much heavier bat than usual the past season with . hope of increasing his home run total but failed to get results.

The new law requires ono registration with the federal government, which protects the patent throughout the country.
 The new law is expected 10 be of special service 10 foreign manufac- turers. who formerly had difficulty in protecting their products exported to Brazil.

EGGS IN ENGLAND ENJOY

London, Feb. 15.--Eggs are not just eggs here. and for housewife to teplenish her supply of the break fast staple by merely ordering a dozen eggs. as Is the American cus- tom. would dismay an English shop keeper

CHINESE HELLO
 GIRLS A NOVELTY
Tourists Never Tire of Seeing Orientals Run Phone Exchange

San Francisco, Feb. 15.--San Fran cisco's Tower of Baber' is a tele- phone exchange set in the midst of it's world famous Chinatown. This ex- change is the only one in America de- voted exclusively to Chinese patrons.
 The exchange has, 1,463 lines to serve the 10000 Chinese inhabitants of the district. The operators are Chinese girls, 13 in number. All must speak, read and write English, but more important, they are familiar with several native Chinese dialects, for China as a nation is great un- wieldly empire that is a babel of tongues.
 The 1S girls handle an average of 11,000 calls daily, nearly all inter- Chinatown service. The girls must remember names, numbers and ad- dresses because the bulk of the calls are made by name and not by num- ber. All the girls are graduates of San Francisco schools. Loo Kun Shoo, the manager, was graduated from the University of California.
 Another peculiarity of the service is that there are absolutely no party lines in Chinatown. Though recogniz- es scrupulously honest, the Chinese is very secretive by nature and demands an individual line.
 The telephone exchange building is one of the finest specimens of Chinese architecture to be found anywhere, even in China itself, with it's pagodas like tower and prow-like balconies. But the architecture is dictated by precedent. The several roofs were not added for ostentation, but because the Chinese consider that the dignity and social position of the inmates of a house are in direct proportion 10 the number of roofs sheltering them.
 The retrousse balconies are design ed to shoot rain from the building and shelter it from direct rays ofsthe sun. Supporting columns have no capitals or bases and are as round and rod as giant firecrackers. Even con crete foundations correspond to the stone foundations upon which Chinese construct buildings as protection from dampness.
 The Chinatown telephone exchange Is one of the districts great attrac- tions for tourists. Several thousand visitors enter it every month Of the year.
