Suit Against Curtiss

Judgment for $500 and costs was
rendered In superior court by Judge
L. p. Waldo Marvin in favor Of Vic

his decision Judge Marvin found
that inasmuch as the plaintiff had

should have considered this upon
reaching the intersection where the
accident occurred.
The accident occurred in Septem-

Windsor Locks. at which time the
plaintiff suffered severe injury and
his automobile was wrecked. The
case first came up In the city court
and was tried by jury before Judge
Henry p. Roche. After hearing the
facts, the jury retired but could not
reach a decision. Judge Roche then
ordered the jury again to convene,
but the second attempt to reach Il

the jury was dismissed and the

Biologists See Great
Similarity in Strata

New York, Dec. 81 Up The

Similarities between the chalky
mud banks and the 100000 wear
old limestones near Thermopoli. Wy

logical Society of America today,
have been studied by a part of
Princeton biologists who have visit
ed both places.
In the Wyoming rocks. he related.
they found fossil roots which they
could account for only by comparing
them with mangrove shoots now
tlourshing in the Bahamas and
banks. Since mangroves didn't
exist 100000 years ago, so far as
paleontologists have been able to
discover, the fossil roots of Wyom-
ing were accounted for as extinct
forerunners of the present day
horsetails.

TlLS0N ADDRESSES
State CHAMBER
Advocates Policy Of Protection
in Traffic Laws

Hartford, Dec. 81 CF-A policy of
protection applying with equal force
to every industry of the country Is
favored by Representative Tilson Of
Connecticut the majority floor lead
er of the house, as foundation
stone for the tariff structure changes
to be decided upon by congress.
I'VE in New England" said Til
son in an address before members
of the Connecticut Chamber of Com
merce today. should favor proper
protection for farming, mining and
other industries. A policy of protec-
ton must be based upon principles
broad enough to cover the nation or
it canot stand.
Tilson expressed the belief that
there was little chance of farm legis-
lation being enacted this session
and predicted Herbert Hoover would
redeem his campaign pledge by
calling an extra session to consider
this question.
Can Help
Since farm relief is conceded to
include tariff revision. the republic
can leader declared that New Eng
land manufacturers could help ma
terially in preparation of a new
tariff law by furnishing congress
with material facts such as will in
spire the confidence Of those In

I'm presenting the needs OF sew
eral industries" he advised, great
care should be exercised that the
case be neither overstated or under
stated. If understated, and rates
are based upon such understate-
ment, then the protection given
will not be sufficient and the result
will be unsatisfactory, as was the
case in a few instances In the revi-
sion of 1922. On the other hand.
il the case be overstated the close
and critical scrutiny which is sure
I, be given every item by both
friends and foes OF the tariff. will

will recoil upon the heads of those

While neither team can lay claim
to a perfect season, both have q
record of impressive victories. This
is especially true of Pittsburgh,
whose only black mark is a tie with
Washington and Jefferson. Pitt de-

The Pittsburgh team, accepted as
