 The team will be kept as is for the present according to Manager Lan- pher. If there was any cutting down to be done. 1t would be hard thing to select any of tho men who played Saturday night for release. New Britain needs | squad as large as the team was Saturday night and . marked difference has been shown ill the play of the quintet.
 Arrangements have been made to play the Renaissance Five of Har- lem, N. Y., a week from Saturday, January 2S. This will be the second game between New Britain and the New York team. and 1t will be a tough battle.
 The Celtics. who play in Hartford tomorrow night against the Yankees. will play in this city on February 2.
 Because of these games, New Brit ain will meet the Bristol Endees in league contests in this city on Jan- uary 25 and in Bristol on February l. These are two Wednesday nights. Because both teams play on Satur- day nights, one or the other would have to lose one Saturday date in carrying out the league schedule so both managers have arranged to stage the games on Wednesday nights.
 The Celtics arc also scheduled to play here on a Wednesday night.

conversation unless he has one Of the
"inverting" instruments which makes
Ineligible chaos of sound.
The new miracle which sorts out the
sounds and makes them walk in sem

brought to a stage where it could be
used for secret messages.

A new method of weather forecast

suit from observed behavior of the
latest type of seismograph. such as one
of those in use at Georgetown Uniyer-
sity, so delicate that it can record a

according to Rev. DR.. F. A. Tondorf,
director Of the local observatory.

with fine lines which have no connec-
ton with earthquakes but are the re-
suit of Slight movements set up in the
crust of the earth by disturbances in
the ocean which are transmitted against
precipitouS shore cliffs.
Low Pressure Results.
Low pressure areas over the sea pro-
6uce these results, DR.. Tondorf said,
acting much in the same fashion as a
stick immersed vertically in the water
and then drawn out again, drawing
water up with it. Unfortunately, most
Of the Atlantic Coast of the United
states slopes gradually into the water
SO that there is no appreciable result.
The coast Of the Gulf Of Mexico,
however. Is precipitous and it is low
pressure areas originating over that
body OF water which are recorded by
the fine markings on the seismograph
in Washington. Thus storms coming
from that direction sometimes can be
forecast in Washington days before the
Weather Bureau has any meteorological
data upon which to base a forecast.
Sunday Storm an Example.
The storm which visited Washington
Sunday, DR.. Tondorf said. was an ex-
ample Of this. Its coming was indi-
Gated on the seismograph two DAYS be-
fore it was officially forecast. The
method is still too indefinite and uncer-
IAN, DR.. Torndorf said, to come into
official use, but constant check is
being kept at Georgetown and other
seismological observatories throughout
