Tomorrow Is the big day for the

team. Tomorrow will tell the story
whether New Britain or Hartford Is
to stay in the running for the state
championship or not. The kickoff
will take place at $3.50 o'clock at

there will be record breaking

The only thing about the game
that is uncertain is the weather. If
the elements will only behave over

Sunday dry, then it can rain every

fans will care. Rain will spoil two
football games that have this city

BRITON FINDS SICNPOSTS In US.
ENTERTAINMENT FOR TOURISTS

Signposts add interest to motoring
in the United States, according to Da-
vid Warrall. who writes in the Lon
don Mail of his motoring experiences
on American trails.
Viewing the marking of highways
from an entirely different standpoint
than that of Americans accustomed to
variety in giving warnings by the
use of signs, the British writer con
fesses to finding considerable enter
tainment as well as helpful guidance
in pithy lines on the signposts. The
more picturesque legends, containing
grim humor, particularly caught his
eye. He makes some adverse crlti-
cism, but appears to have had con-
siderable enjoyment in touring on
American highways.
Not until you have toured the
United States by road do you realize
how much signposts can do to help
you and make the journey interest
ing" writes Mr.. Warrall. Every State
has ideas of it's own in the matter, but
most of them are effective enough and
many have a grim irony that fixes
them in the memory.
"On one precipitous road In Colo
RADIO and arrow points straight into
an abyss, where rest the mangled re
mains of dozens of cars, so far below
that they look like toys. Under the ar
row is a sign which says: Step on
the gas and follow these A frequent
railroad crossing sign bears the skull
and crossbones, while a popular small
town sign reads: Go slow and see our
town. Go fast and see our Jail" Don't
be a speeding fool pleads another
type of signpost. which sometimes
adds: How would you like to kill
your own Children
Although 1t is doubtful IL there is
a village or town in the United States
which does not impose a speed limit
of Is miles, very few inform the
motorist when he may speed up again
A few do, adding the universal slogan
Thank you; come again
1T is possible to travel through al
most every State without maps and
know at each milepost how far you
are from all the adjacent towns. and
cities. One bad exception is Iowa
which still has mud roads and bad
signposts.
"Detours are the worst things a
motorist has to face in America. 1t is
rt-breaking sometimes to have to
leave a wonderful concrete road for
crumpled sidetrack. But even these
detours are plainly marked at frequent
intervals with an arrow and the word
'detour.

This he did by showing that while

had stopped by a wayside repair
shop, following a freeze-up of the
engine, and had installed new rings
which had temporarily covered the
defect. If the owner had scored the
cylinders after having purchased the
car the rings would have been worn
