 HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
South Manchester Saturday Here and New Haven Monday There

Two games, the second of which will have direct bearing on the 1 Triangular and State championship, will be played by the New Britain High school basketball team this weekend. The first win be at the school gymnasium against South Manchester High school five. This Will be the last game on the home floor The second, which is the opening gun Of q tough series Of three games on the road will be played against the New Haven Hill house High school quintet in that city Monday afternoon.
 The Red and Gold men must como through with q victory in each of the two games or it will be set pretty far back in the race for the state title. A loss to New Haven will put the two teams in q tie with two victories and one defeat which will make 1t necessary that each win It's game with Hartford in order that they may be sure of tie for the Triangular honors.
 unlucky In New Haven
 New Britain never seems able to win a game on the New Haven floor Only once since 1916, over a period of 10 years, has the Red and Gold hann snn II i,, at on top with New Haven. In 1922 after taking defeats for six success siye seasons, New Britain came through with flying colors and de- feated the Elm City High school team The team that year consisted of Duke" McCabe, center; Red" Reynolds and Paul LuHar, forwards: Harold Weir and Ernie Ncipu, guards. "Johnny" Grip and "IIoWie" Belser were substitutes, All are still prominent in basketball.
 In 1916 Captain "Al' Schade and his team, two of which were Billy" Dudack. now coach of the National Guard team, and Judge" Harry Ginsberg, coach Of the American Lo. zion team defeated New Haven in that city by a close score. All three of these men have made a name for themselves since leaving school Schade was the coach of the All New Britain basketball team prcde- outfit and was the coach of the Bristol West Ends this season until ! the team disbanded.
 This Years Team
 Whether this years team will place its name in the hall of fame with these other two combinations | remains with them in the game | Monday, Even though they were successful in defeating New Haven | in the game last Friday, New Haven ! showed some smart basketball | when it got used to the gymnasium | and when the final whistle blew they were within three points of tie.
 They will doubtless be q better on their own floor with | their own crowd to cheer them | New Britain will be at a disadvan- tage in the game, for they will l have very few New Britain fans . there 10 cheer them on. 1
 The work of "Dick" Dillon in the New Haven game in this city was so satisfaCt ory to the management of | the team that he was given the job of working the second New Britain. New Haven game in the latter city. This Is quite a compliment to q referee from a losing team.

 Harold Weir went hurtling through the air and hit the chairs at the side of the court landing on his hip and he was forced to re- tire from the game. The Machine shop peppered the back board with shots that failed to go through the hoop while Fafnirs kept climbing in the scoring column.

Senator Harris Gets
Extension of Time on
Farm Products

Washington, April 6.-The bill of
Senator VIM. J. Harris, authorizing
a three-year experiment by the Post
Office Department with fifty per-
cent reduction of postal rates on
farm produce shipped directly from
the farm to post offices on the same
rural route, or at the beginning of
such, has been favorably recommend
ed by the Senate committee on post
offices and post roads. Under
measure by Senator Harris, the ex-
pertinent has been conducted for one
year, and this bill provides for con-
tinuation of three years.
The provision is for trial of the
plan on not more than fifty rural
routes, in localities to be selected by
the Postmaster General. The ex-
periments are designed primarily to
develop and encourage the transport
tation of food products directly from
producers to consumers or vendors
to demonstrate the possibility and
practicability of utilizing the rural
carrier as medium to encourage the
transportation by parcel post of food
products directly from those who pro-
duce them to those who use them.
The products to be transported by
this means would include vegetables,
fruits, berries, poultry, eggs, milk,
cream and other articles of food.

TO CREATE MIDDLE

SENATE BILL TO PLACE VAL.

Washington.-An attempt to have
the Valdosta division of the South
ern Georgia judicial district included
in the proposed Middle district of
that state will be made in the senate
when that body begins consideration
of the Georgia judgeship bill passed
recently by the house.
Ask Amendment
The amendment will be pressed by
both Senator Harris and Senator
George, who expect to take the issue
into conference in an effort to have
the house agree to the change.
The assignment of the Valdosta
district has been the only point, of
contention among the Georgia dele
cation. The house delegation voted
to include the Valdosta division in
the Southern district.
Not Too Far
Representative Crisp, who active
" pressed for the legislation, en-
pressed hope that the Valdosta fight
would not be carried to the point
where final passage of the bill would
be jeopardized.
While l voted to have that divis-
ION put in the new middle district"

versy amounts to little more than

PUNISHMENT WITH BLACK

Swish! Swish! Swish
Swish! Swish!
Five times an ugly-looking CATO
nine-tails was laid with vigor Friday
across the broad back of James H..
Kingsmore, in Baltimore's prison
yard. He was paying the penalty for
wife-beating.
With every blow, Kingsmore
cringed, but from his lips came no
sound.
Angry red welts appeared as if by
magic in the wake of every swish of
the black whip, with its fanlike
thongs of cutting rswhide.
1t was the first time in four years
that Baltimore authorities have re-
sorted to the ancient whipping post
as cure for wife.beating. In 1921,
Sheriff McNuity had to whip pris-
oner. The lash was applied gently
and the sheriff wept softly while his
arm rose and fell almost imper.

Under the gasoline tax act, each
gallon of gasoline used in Georgia
is taxed az cents. One cent Of this
goes into the general treasury and
the remaining " cents goes to the
state highway department for road
construction purposes. Payments are
made to. the counties quarterly on
the basis of their state highway mile
age.
According to figures furnished to
the state treasurer by the engineer
ing corps of the highway department,
the state system now comprises g.

portion Of the gasoline tax is figured
on the. basis of its highway mileage
as compared to that of the entire sys-
tenn. The rate of payment for the
first quarter of 1926 is $50. 008378

Tax payments for the first quar-

coed 100000.

 It declares also that the general policy of the country is to provide for an adequate and efficient transportation service to pre- serve weak and short lines, to unite the car riers into number of strong and efficient and well-balanced systems that will main tain existing routes and channels of trade and commerce, and to preserve executive competition in service, moving freight and passengers at the lowest rate compatible with adequate and efficient transportation service.
