Speaking s of Sports

Roller hockey came home last night after 5 years absence and it received a more joyful reception than the Prodigal Son himself. Fully 2.000 fans jammed their way into the Stanley Arena on Church street to watch the New Britain team beat Wallingford.
 Taking it all in all. we arc still thrilled. Years ago when the game was played at Hanna's armory on East Main street, hardly a game went by without vivid memories of Fred Jean, Jack Mercer or some other star. There were thrills then, but upon the revival of the game last night, there were many more and more lasting chills of delight,

Blount. who was just q youngsters in the old days. is remarkable as q goal tender. He goes through so many gyrations at the cage that he is big part of the game. With him to stop the drives, New Britain is sure 10 make a good bid against the best teams in the league.
 Fred Jean will be here with the Holyokc team on Manufacturing Day, week from next Thursday. This should he the signal for all of his old-timc friends 10 turn out to greet him.
 The attendance at the first roller hockey game last night surprised even the most optimistic. We hope the interest keeps up.

You can look oUer its top,
but you can't overlook its roominess!

Though compact in exterior dimen-
sions, the roominess of the Erskine
Six is most remarkable-proved by
the following:
Comparisons are made suith fice
sedan models ranging in price from
$1OS5 to $14o5.)
First (A) the distance from the
back of the front seat to the clutch
pedal Is 36 6inches-more room than
in any other Of the FIVE measured.
In the distance between floor and
steering Wheel the Erskine affords
greater space than in two of the FIVE
and but IA inches less than the
largest.
Comfort for Driver
In (D) the distance between the
back of the front seat and the steer
ing wheel--an extremely important
dimension for greatest driving com.
fort-the Erskine has more space
than any Of the five.

A Revelation in Roominess

The Erskine Six is small car but riding com.
fort has not been sacrificed. For Detrich-master

Erskine Six from the inside out-the reverse Of
ordinary practice. He has achieved victory in
dimensions which is at once apparent when you
sit in this Little Aristocrat." Never has stock
car of this size been built with body of such
superlative quality.
Fullsize balloon tires and springbase equal to
more than four>6fths the length of the wheelbase
combine with the roomy interior in giving restful
mi1es-whether you drive across town or across
country.
Extra Equipment Without Extra Cost
AS expected in every fine car, the Erskine Six
comes TO you complete with front and rear bump.
ers motometer, hydrostatic gasoline gauge on the
dash, coincidental lock to ignition and steering,
two.beam acorn headlights, traffic signal
light, automatic windshield cleaner, rear vision
mirror and host of little refnements, such as
glove compartments, broadlace trim, etc.
You must see the Erskine Six, ride in it, drive il
to know the remarkable performance and com.
fort this possesses and the achievement Stude.
baker has scored in the production of the first
truly fine small car. Immediate deliveries can be
arranged during the first fifteen days of May.

Headroom is another comfort
factor. In the Erskine Six (E and F.
the dimensions between seat and
roof, both front and back, are ac-
tually greater than in many larger
cars.

Wide Doors

w bnC DOOIS
The Erskine Six (G) shows greater
door width than three of the FIVE
under comparison. In the largest
car measured, the door width sur
passed the Erskine by only 15I16th
of an inch.
The generous interior dimensions
of the Erskine Six are the true meas
ure of its riding comfort. Through
skillful utilization of body space this
Little Aristocrat, though small, com.
petes with large,size cars in its ability
to accommodate its full cargo oflarge
''grown.ups" without cramping or

In the chassis, too, fine construction
is expressed with Timken bearings,

driven timing gears; Alemite lubrica'

and in the brilliant performance
the Erskine Six registers the instant
you put your hands on the wheel and
your foot on the accelerator!
Its quiet L.head engine develops 50
miles an hour smoothly-accelerates
from 5 to Is miles an hour in 8h Sec
onds-climbs an II per cent grade in
high gear! Because the Erskine Six is
so sturdily built-so compactly dimen'

remarkably economical in consump-
ton of gasoline, oil and tires. Built to
Studebaker standards, with the finest
alloy steels, repair costs are small.
A Joy to Drive

days of crowded traffic! The Erskine
Six turns in an 18.foot radius, parks in
spaces bigger cars must pass by and

THE LITERACY BILL

While the Alaska ]iteracy bill, before Congress and which appears destined to be accepted by that body and become law in the Territory, born of conten tous condition, namely the large ierate native vote has met with opposition the part of the public and figures prominently in campaign thunder, it may be version to principles which denied each and everyone free expression of the ballot If are to take figures compiled by the Federal government as basis for dlscus sion it would appear that the percentage of teracy the nation demands agency calculated to work a change According to these figures the United States has six ilterates out of every hundred population
 Germany and Denmark have only two iliterates per- thousand population.
 Nine leading European nations are less iterate than the United States.
 Three out of four criminals come from the ranks of the uneducated.
 Fifteen million American voters cannot read the English language.
 is estimated that ieracy costs the United States $825,000,000 year.
 The census showed 100000 children from seven to 13 years getting no education at all.
 Despite the great mass of historical data and the daily examples of what ilteracy means to mans pro- gres the examples of due to educaon and the efforts made to remedy the condition progress has not been as rapid had been hoped for Now that the prn cple of self determination has undergone the test and been found wanting it becomes necessary to form some rule that will force the shortsghed parent or unamb- tious to either fit their offspring themselves for the en- joyment of the full privileges of the nation, namely the balot or be denied that privilege The teracy test IS the farest rule that may be applied It deprves no one of right but compels those seeking it to qualify tor It.
 Alaska is signay favored with means for acquiring the foundation of an education in it's splendid school facl ities which are available to both whites and natives The Territory does not dsfranchse anyone He who de- cnes to accept the opportunities offered to qualify for full citizenship disfranchises himself.

REINDEER INDUSTRY PROMISES TO BE IMPORTANT sfC,<s4LASKA,
 OPINION BIOLOGICAL. SURVEY

The reindeer industry in Alaska factor LII the future development of Territory the Biological Sur vey of the United States, Department of Agriculture. It is comparatively 2 recent undertaking, and as q com mercial enterprise dates back only a few years. The original stock of 1,2.&3. animals. imported from Siberia abouo 25. years ago has increased to about 350,000, distributed throughout the Territory in 110 herds
 The rapidly growing industry re- quires that scientific studies be made for it's best development, and under Congressional authorization such studies were begun by the Depart ment in 1920 through the Biological Survey. Improved methods have been recommended. to herd owners for handling reindeer and utilizing the range. A study of the range is now being made with view. to inaugurat. ing a permanent system of grazing allotments. Careful and : continuous inspection wills be required to deter mine whethec.an area is being under or.,over- -grazed,.s
 One of the: most fundamental of tn problems studied has to do with the relation of lichens to grazing. Some of the results of this study are published in < Department Bulletin 1423-D. just issued. Plans for future work contemplate studies chiefly along such lines. as the development of interior ranges, conditions govern ing forage and range management, breed. improvement of reindeer, and the conrrol ofsfhe diseases and para sites to which animals are subject.

A BAD EXPLOSION

At the Peter Skog residence, in which at the present time the Lar son family is living, there was an explosion, Thursday morning, that came pretty near being disastrous. It sems that one of the heating coils of the stove got plugged with ice and rust and shortly and shortly af- ter the fire was started in the morn ing the big blow up took place. The force of the explosion was so severe that the big plate windows were blown out, the stove was wrecked and there was more or less other damage around the room. Fire and ashes dere trofn all over the house. The little lad, Hendrix Larson, was standing close to the stove at the time. He was thrown down and bruised and suffered scalds on face and hands. At the time of the ac- cident, MT. Larson was working with MT. Carlson in the former $ new house and he was soon at tae scene of trouble With the rooms full of smoke and ash dust, the inn pression was that the house was afire and an alarm was truned in. However, Mrs. Larson saw the dan-
 ger of fire immediately following
 the burst and began picking up the scattered roals and tossing them
 outdoors. Tn this bit of heroic work she had her hands burned
 severely. In room like this, and so many so close around the stove
 it is in deed fortunate that the ac-
 cident is no worse.

Not for Pigs

The Game Commission had some hay unloaded at Petersburg during the heavy snow some time back. It is for deer feed should the weather turn so severe that the ami mals couldn't rustic their regular rations. For some time lately a number of deer have been sort of wintering in the brush and timber back of the upper end of town ana the other day it was decided tU move little of the baled product up there for thm to chew on. The hay was urned over to Charley West to distribute, and now it is gossip ed about that West is using the stuff as pig feed. It is sometimes easier for people to talk than to make an endeavor to find out the truth of a hing. In this particular case the chatterers are mistaken. The hay was distributed for the deer.

A White Christmas

The citys appearance on Christ mas Eve was anything but inviting The remnants of prior snow fall, sooty, ragged and miserably dirty lay in grimy hummocks, shoveled windrows and plastered patches all over town. But on the forenoon of Christmas Day, as if to make neat CT appearance, Nature spread or 4 inches of new and clean snow in discriminatory around and the gen eral aspect was greatly improved. TO be sure it would have been much more agreeable had there been no snow at all, but nv layer was such an improvement over the soiled leavings of other storms that it was gladly accepted.
