Cash Estates of Ex-Service Men
An interesting fact has been re-
vealed by the United States Vet
Grams Bureau in the present effort
to acquaint all men with their
rights concerning Government Life
Insurance.
There were $1,000 individuals
in the service by the name of
s'Smith." Each one of these Smiths
was entitled to take S10,00O,OOO
worth of Government life insur-
ance. If all of those Smiths had
carried this maximum amount of
insurance to the present time, the
combined number would be carry
ing S519, 900, 100000 worth of Gov
eminent Insurance, and would be
able, at the present time, to sur
render this insurance for cash IN
the amount OF S44,115, 100000. If
circumstances made it necessary
for them to borrow the maximum
amount of money on their policies,
the combined number would be
able to borrow S41, 46S, 10000
The Government is thus forcibly
bringing to the attention of all ex-
service men the fact that while
insurance is not primarily bank
account upon which to draw, or a
source of credit upon which to Dor
row, it nevertheless, is a means,
which, in time of need, may be
used to advantage for these pur-
poses.
In the State of Minnesota over
100, 900 service men have the same
privilege as the Smiths throughout
the United States. However, more
than ninety per cent of these men
have failed to avail themselves of
this liberal offer of insurance by
the Government.

college men figured that the skim

would pay for the labor and the

Since this investigation was

greatly in the favor of the farmer

taken place. The cost of feeding
has increased only slightly while
prices the farmer receives for but

BRISTOL. ENDEES SURE OF
 BEATING LOCALS TONIGHT
Bell Towners Confident of Setting Down New Britain
 First Meeting of the Two This Season-Addition of Munby and Marchinek Makes Visitors Stronger Threat-Johnny Sheehan to Be in Hardware City Uniform for Contest-Quintets are Bitter Rivals.

| The Bristol Endees and the New Britain basketball team will clash for the first time this year in a Con necticut State league basketball con- test at the Stanley Arena tonigh'. The teams are numbered among the i most bitter court rivals in state bask ketball circles and because of the ClosenesS of play in the state cham pionship series last season, much in terest will be displayed in the game tonight.
 Bristol forms one of the biggest threats to capture the championship of the first round of the league. The team has won q majority Of its games played so far and in those in which 1t was defeated, it has lost | by q margin of only one or two points.
 The addition of a forward, Nun 1 by and Ray Marchineb, Fordham freshmen, to the team, gives Bris- tol almost double strength on the offense and the defense. The new forward in his first appearances with the Bell Towners, has showed an | ability to pass and 10 shoot that should make him a feared opponent for any team in the circuit Coupled with Captain Jimmy Malcolm, the quintet has a pair of the best SCOT ing and playing forwards Tn the l league.
 Bristol also has a great advantage 
 Donoghue tapping the ball Don-
 oghue never feels more like playing basketball than when he is up against New Britain and tonight's game should bring out the best that ! is in him.
 i Marchinek and Manning undouht- edly will take the guard positions at the start of the game although Crowley might be selected to begin
 the game. This will make 1t look like old times because the lineup
 will be practically the same as last
 year the missing link being "Kisky' i Feldman.
 New Britain will throw in its first string forwards, Sloman and Ruben stein. Jimmy Zakzcwsli will jump against Donoghue and these two are
 no strangers to each other. The
 guard positions are in doubt. John-
 ny Sheehan will be with New Britain
 for the first time tonight and he may
 get the assignment to cover Jimmy ! Malcolm. Sheehan covers the Bris-
 tol man to perfection. Leary or
 Sturm may be assigned to start but
 no matter what the opening lineup,
 New Britain will have plenty of strength.
 The team practiccd "Wednesday
 night for two hours and every play
 CT reported in great shape for q
 tough assignment tonight.
 The game will be preceded by
 preliminary between the Burrjtt-
 and the All-Stars, a quintet compos-
 ed of past and present high school
 players and this will be q double
 attraction for the night. The first
 game will start promptly at s o'clock
 and the second and main game will
 begin about o'clock.

The WalllnSford roller hockey team will furnish the thrills nj the stanley Arena against New Britain Monday night in an American Roller Hockey league game. New Britain will go to Walliugford tonight 10 meet the team there and will again play In the borough Monday after noon.
 The Wallingford team only q few nights ago pinned a defeat on the fast-travelling Waterbury outfit and the same team will be against New Britain in the coming three games, This will give the local quintet plcn- " to think about because through its work, the borough team has served notice that 1t is no longer the doormat Of the league.
 The quintet is now equipped with 'wo of the fastest rushers and floor workers in the league. Kid" Dug gan and Earl Pierce. Pierce joined the team last Monday and since that lime. he has been playing q whirl- wind game. Paired up with "Kid' Duggan, he Is able to travel at top speed knowing his mate will be with him.
 New Britain plans to make 1t a battle in each of the three games. A final effort will made to shake the hoodoo that has been riding in the drivers seat both on the road and at home and for that reason, a des- perate effort will be made to win three straight.
 All the players are in good form for concerted attack on the higher positions and the locals will be fight ing to keep out Of last place. The league will be on the home stretch towards the end of the first round and there will be a scramble to end up anywhere but in the cellar New Britain played rings around Wall ingford in it's last meeting but since then Pierce has joined the opposi- ton and he has made a great deal of difference.
 The first round of the league will be over on December 31. That gives New Britain six more games. three with Wallingford two with Meridon and one with Waterbury. Water bury will play the last game of the first round in this city week from Monday night.

MINORS ID AGAIN DISCUSS PROBLEMS
Call Is Broad Enough to Include
 Modified Draft Question

Chicago, Dec. 24 P}-Signs of a third party movement in organized baseball, since the minor leagucrs notified the "big five" of their or ganization at Dallas to cease the modified draft system, have brought about a summons to another minor league convention at French Lick Springs, Ind, January 2.
 President Mike Sexton of Rock Island, H., head of the minors, in calling his league executives and club owners together again, said the call was broad enough to include the modified draft question and the whole major-minor agreement.
 Since the inauguration of the cur rent maiorminor pact when Kene- saw Mountain Landis was drafted from the federal bench to clean up baseball. the five big minors have resisted the efforts of their brethren and the majors 10 make all players eligible to drafting by the big leagues. Eventually the big five forced modification of the draft which allowed the majors to pluck only those players which had come down from their own major league clubs, at the meagre draft price.
 Stars the big five developed them selves were sold to the majors st prices ranging lip to the s123, ,000 the Chicago White SoX paid this winter for Chalmer Cis.sell, Coast League infield star. With such valu- able chattels, the big five naturally fought efforts to take them away for a pittance.

N'GRAW LOSES IN
 BOUT ID FERRIS
New Yorker Earns Right to Match With Jimmy MCLarnin

New York, Dec. 24 UP)-There are lot of things Sid Ferris, the New York lightweight cant do, but there's not a more graceful or spec tacular boxer in the ring at any weight in this boxing age. 1 Ferris may not be able to take 1t on the chin as many of his harsh critics point out, but there is no one who will dispute the fact that he is the most able fighter in the ring to- day at any weight.
 Last night Ferris gave Phil Me Graw of Detroit a thorough and complete lesson In the art of tisti- cuffs, one that will finger in the minds of some 13,234 fans for a long time.
 Ferris danced In and around Me Graw until he had the Detroit Greek dizzy watching his shadowy figure. A lot of Ferris dazzling tactics lean a trifie to the spectacular, as for in- stance. his leaping punch. Ferris leaps into the air with his fist first and arm stiff and the trick is so disconcerting that his oppo- nent. rarely is able to dodge. The punch doesn't do a lot of damage but it's point, and points are as good as dollars at the boxing mart, ! Another of Ferris tricks is to lei his opponent chase him around and around the ring and then like a flash Sid will stop and lash out a left and a right which carry 8 cargo of dynamite.
 McGraw fell prey to this strategy on more than one occasion. Ferris moves around with the speed of q gazelle. He can duck. dodge, shift and weave with uncanny precision,
 One would think that any lighter with so many good points ought to wear crown. Fact of the matter is, Ferris is just about as near tC being an uncrowned champion as ever there was one.
 Abe Katz, Ferris mana ger, has a standing offer of S60,G00 for Sam my MandeU, lightweight champion to meet Ferris, but Sammy won't play with Sid.
 Ferris victory gives him a bout with Jimmy McLarnin, the phcnom- enal Los Angeles lightweight whC knocked out Louis (hid) Kaplan and beat Billy Wallace, in the Gar den on February 6. If Ferris beats McLarnin, popular acclaim may force Mandell to meet Sid or give up the title.
 McGraw was willing but weak against Ferris this time. Sid had the better of six rounds. McGraW won three and one was even.
 However, to the Detroit boys credit must be said that he made g fight of it and was coming into Ter ris ct every stage of the fight. Il was not until the tenth round that Ferris could put McGraw on the run and then only a brief minute with q torrid body attack that sent Phil re- treating into his corner.
