CITY WILL BUILD
 TWO MARBLE RINGS
Standard Rings for Mig Shooters to Be Constructed in Park


 New Britain will have two standard marble rings in either Walnut Hill or Willow Brook park this fall, according to a promise made this morning by Park Super intendent Ralph B. Wainwright.
 Mir. Wainwright readily agreed when informed how the inter-city games yesterday were severely handicapped by the lack of stand ard rings, to see that two were installed.
 Where the rings will be placed has not yet been decided. MT. Wainwright prefers putting one in each park. One suggestion was to have two In Walnut Hill park. Park Commissioner Maxwell S. Porter stated this morning that he thought the best place was in the Hawley playground section of Will low Brook park.
 That New Britain needs some standard marble ring was readily conceded in city hall when the difficulties of yesterdays games were understood.
 At meeting of the board of adjustment in city hall last eve- ming. Mayor Weld mentioned the need of some marble rings here and suggested that the city would be glad to have several loads of clay for the purpose. Chairman Reginald c. Towers of the board Of public works immediately re- piled that he would be glad to do- nate the clay.
 We need them and we ought 10 have them. It Is a good thing for the city," said the Mayor this morning.
 T don't see any reason why we couldn't have one or two standard rings,' said Commissioner Porter.
 It's for the good of the city and that's what we are here for" said Mir. Wainwright.
 Work on the construction of the rings probably will begin very shortly. The rings are enclosed in a framework of plank. Each plank is two inches thick and the rings stand six inches above the level of the ground. Four by four posts in each corner bind the 14X14 foot frame and the inside is filled with hard clay on a gravel base, which is tamped and rolled. A ring 10 feet in diameter then is marked out with pointed instrument and the job is completed.
 In Forert park. Springfield. where the New Britain boys played on Monday, there are three such rings, equal if not superior to those used at the national tourna- ment at Atlantic City.

THE PASSING OF THE
CUSPIDOR

CTRAWS. says the old proverb,
~ show which way the wind blows,
which is simply terse and express
sive way of saying that little things
often show The changes and advances
in human affairs.
One of our national customs, to
which foreign visitors used to refer as
a universal habit, was splitting. 1t
never was pleasant habit but it used
to be widespread and general. In rail
road trains, street cars, depots and
theaters it was common. Evidently
i. was Jdst as common at home as II
was in public.
Every one whose memory runs back
for thirty years or more can remem-
Der the cuspidOr Ito use the more re-
fined name for what was commonly
called spittoon) which Ornamented
nearly every home. A common tin or
wooden one in the kitchen, brass
one in the library or sitting room, but
in the parlor lovely china hand
painted one. 1t was just as much a
fixture as the handicapped center
table. the stereoscope with the views of
President Garfied's funeral and Of Nj
agara falls in winter or the heavy gilt
cornice from which hung the stiffly
starched lace curtains that were then
considered mark of social standing.
In public places, cuspidors were not
only conspicuous; they We're even con-

thought of such thing as getting
along without them.
Every one has known that splitting,
as national habit, is rapidly passing
away. No intelligent man, to say moth
ing of well-hred person, thinks to-
day of splitting in any public place
and let us hope that it is as seldom
done in private as it now is in public.
A surprising evidence of the pass
ing of this nasty, disease-spreading
and very unpleasant habit is found in
the completion and opening of the
new Union STATEN In Chicago. The
newest, the most elaborate and in
many ways the most complete rail-
road station in the country if not in
the world, and there isn't cuspidor
in the whole enormous building, not
even in the smoking rooms and toilet
rooms.
What has caused this change In our
habits? Many things, no doubt, but
one of them at least. think, is the
moving picture. Notice that when
anyone splits in a picture now, even If
its only Smoky, the trained chimpan-
zee. everybody in the audience laughs
1t always was dirty habit and
when it goes we will all live in q

OVERCOMING MIS-
FORTUNE

II WENT to remarkable dinner the
= other night, and yet, unless one
knew all the circumstances, it would
have been considered quite an ordi-
nary affair
1t was a dinner given to a Chicago
doctor by about one hundred and fifty
of his friends, the leading physicians
Of the city.
This dinner was to celebrate the
fact that the guest of honor had COM
pleted fifty years of practicing medi-
cine. That, too, Is not remarkable. l
recall dinners given to Fenger, Semi
Murphy, jacob and other great men
in the medical world but this one was
even more remarkable than any Of the
others.
Why? Because the man to whom
the dinner was given had been totally
blind since he was twelve years old.
Shortly after his twelfth birthday, an
accident destroyed both of his eyes.
Yet in spite of this fearful handicap,
which would have made helpless de-
pendent of most men for life, he went
through high school, took full four
year course at the state university,
graduated with honors, studied medi-
cine and graduated at two well-known
medical colleges and specialized on
diseases of the heart, the only field in
medicine where sight is not needed.
He has been successful far beyond the
average man with all his faculties and
has for many years been recognized,
not only in this country but in Eng
land and Europe as well, .as one of
the leading authorities ON heart dis
ease
After his colleagues, in their after
dinner talks. had told of their love
and esteem for him, he rose to reply
and without a trace of the self-cen-
tered sensitiveness which most af-
fiicted people show, he talked about
his blindness in simple matter-Of-
fact way and. like all great men, he
attributed all his success to his moth
er. He said: "After | lost my sight,
there was one thing my mother re-
peated to me constantly as long as
she lived. 1t was Never allow your
self to be dependent upon anyone.
And so he taught himself to do with
cut his eyes. He shayes every morn
Ing, not with safety, but with an or
binary razor. He goes to the hospital
and spends hours examining patients.
He spends the afternoon in his Office
taking care Of large practice. lie
plays an unusually good game of
bridge. He does everything anyone
else does and he has lead a long, use
full, honorable life because he refused
TO yield to misfortune but achieved
success IN spite of handicap which

CIGARETTE "EMBRACED,"
THEN SMOKING JACKET
Eastern Fashion Sensation, Known
as Smoking" Late Creation of
Paris Dress Houses.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 3.-Having whole
heartedly embraced the cigarette, the
Parisienne now wears the smoking
Jacket. The Easter fashion sensation
of Paris Is a new creation of the dress
houses called a smoking" 1t Is dl-
rectly inspired by the masculine gar
ment called a dinner jacket in Eng
land, a tuxedo in England and a
smoking" in France. The "smokings'
of smart Partisan women promise to
be the most arresting and popular
apparel on view at the Easter parade
in the Champs Elysees.
The new Jackets are worn with
mannish waistcoatS, short clinglng
skirts Of contrasting color and close
fitting hats, and, occasionally, mon
ocle is added. The effect is a fem
mime blend of Savile Row and the
Rue de la Paix. Coats are of rich,
pale -colored silks; vests are of finely
plated silks or linen, pearls take the
place of the conventional black tie.
The favorite model for daytime
wear seems to be black or navy blue
fabric with satin lapels. Sometimes
the jackets are made of black satin or
velvet. For afternoon wear the
'smokings" are fashioned of heavy
brocade. exquisitely tailored and some
times delicately embroidered. These
coats are also seen at the theaters
and opera, worn with costumes with
finely pleated chiffon or crepe de chine
skirts. Some of the dress houses
show "smokings" of gold lace for
evening wear. A large flower, worn
on the left lapel is the invariable ac-
compartment of the smoking"

REFUSAL Of LEAGUE
BID BEING PREPARED
Note Will Claim No Useful
Purpose Would Follow Par
ley on Reservations.

Losing no time after pronouncing
subject. the State Department yester-
day began preparation Of a note
formally declining the League of Ma
tions' invitation for American paruci-
patton in the Geneva conference
which is to consider reservations to
the World Court protocol
The note, which will go forward
through the American legation at
Berne, judged on the basis of definite
views of President Coolidge and Sec
retary Kellogg, will point out that in
the opinion of Washington authori-
ties no useful purpose could be ac-
complished by sending a delegation to
Geneva. since it would be lacking in
authority to discuss the reservations
attached by the Senate.
Furthermore, it is virtually GER
tain that the note will point out that
the Senate department already IS in
direct negotiation with the As gov
ernments signatory to the court
protocol and is satisfied to rely UPON
that method of getting the United
States into the court.
Attention also will he invited to
the Senate's expressed direction that
the negotiations be conducted be-
tween the Washington and the sig
natory governments. rather than
through exchanges btween Washing
ton and Geneva.
The decision to reject the Geneva
offer was reached after Secretary
Kellogg had conferred on the ques
ton with President Coolidge and the
two officials had found themselves in
complete accord.
