High Type Fertilizer u
 Taken From Used Gas

Atlantic City, Oct. 23 P-A new process for the recovery of an eff ficient sulphur compound from manufactured gas which Is said to give to the agriculturist a superior insecticide and fertilizer was an- nounced today at the convention of the American Gas Association.
 W. s. Yard, vice president of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Francisco, said three thousand tons of the new compound have been produced in the gas plants at Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose. He predicted, with other en- gineers, that the new process might revolutionize the by-product end Of the gas business and eventually en- able the gas industry to become large producer of sulphur compound heretofore unobtainable for agrlcul- tural uses.
 For years, MT. Yard declared, the agriculturist has used sulphur for an insecticide but has had difficulty in finding a form that would give satisfactory results for eliminating the red spider and controlling mil dew.

Lord Chamberlain Is
 LOndon's Most Tactful

London, Oct. 23 LP - The most tactful man in London is said to be Lord Cromer, the Lord Chamber lain. He it is who has 10 select the guests to be invited to the Royal Court Ball, and as the ballroom at Buckingham Palace only holds 2,000 his selection is a matter of consid- erable patience and discretion.
 The entertaing of foreign poten- tates and their suites has to be ar ranged by the Lord Chamberlain. He is also responsible for the censoring of plays, and is the butt of any amount of criticism from producers and public alike.
 But the Lord Chamberlain is per haps at his best during Court night. He has previously settled the smallest detail. He has to be ready for any emergency should the wrong card reach him or he allows those who are making their bows to come forward too quickly before the King and Queen.

 Of purely French sources, Mada- gascar promises the largest supply. The most important French source, however, NJ.

 The crack football team repre- senting the Submarine Base at New London, accompanied by a delega- ton of tars, will invade the Hard ware City tomorrow afternoon to furnish the opposition to the All New Britains. Judging from the ad- vance word concerning the Sub-Base team, the locals have real task on their hands. A solid line that aver ages about 1855 pounds is supported by a backfield, that is rated as the greatest ever by the sailors at the base. Several of the players that op- posed the locals last season are back in the lineup again this year. It will be recalled that the All-New Brit aims just managed to get over 60 win in 1925.
 The two-weeks layoff for the To- calls has tended to place the players in fine fettle. The injuries suffered by Joe Rogers, in the Holyoke game, have entirely healed. Jack Donlon and Griswold, who received some hard bumps in the game against Rcd" Grange and his New York Yankees, are also reported to be fit Eddie Hunt, the popular Stamford boy who is with the locals this sea- son, will have an old side kick in the backfeld with him tomorrow, in the person of Brick" Dora, last year with All-Norwalk.
