 Roller hockey at its absolute best was seen during the first period of tho game between Meriden Maroons and New Britain at the Stanley Arena last night but a. much could not be said of the two other periocs in the contest. The Silver City com- bination Of Williams and Pierce aided by the excellent work of Lundeville, opened up a wild attack in the second frame that caught Bill Blount. local goal tender, off form, and continuing the dizzy pace in the third frame. pulled through 70 a r. to victory over the home club
 An offer by Doctor Jones of Hartford of S5 for the player mak- ing the first goal gave the game q zest that was lacking in other con- testA If ever the players on both teams worked hard. they did 50 in the first period of last nights game. Were 1t possible for the New Britain team to keep up the pace during the league season. no team in the league could beat it. Alexander won the prize offered by caging the first and only goal of the period. after II minutes of play. It is impossible 10 describe the scene as the two teams battied back and forth on the rink. Flashing brilliant offensive and de- fensive brand of play. the New Brit ain team clearly outplayed the visitors in this session. Boucher re- turning to the game after a layoff Of few days. was more brilliant. if possible. than ever. His running mate Alexander got back into form and played with him, stride for stride. Muirhead did a great job at center while Brown and Blount were sensational on the defense.
 Another bill fluttered down from tho gallery from the same donor for the player making the second goal of the game. Boucher copped this with . screaming shot 12 minutes after Alexander had caged the first goal. ThiS was in the second period.
 Then Meriden started. Williams caged two long drives in rapid suc- cession. Alexander got one back for New Britain but in little over a minute. Williams came back to cage two more. Pierce followed him with another and eight seconds after this, Williams got another. Alexander closed the period by caging goal from the spot. An argument ensued with Referee Rorty over this goal but he allowed it claiming that the Meriden rush was stalling.
 Three successive goals by Pierce killed New Britain's chances at the opening of the third period. Alex ander followed his third shot with a goal in eight seconds for New Brit ain. Pierce came back for another and Alexander got one for the home club. Williams got still another for Meriden but Alexander got one back for New Britain. Williams scored the last goal of the game just before the game ended.
 The combination offered by Meri- den last night looked like d world championship outfit. Williams and Pierce were away ahead in their playing while Lundevile starred a. center. Morrison guarded his cage in excellent style while Jimmy Pur. cell was nothing short of spectacular in the goal.

Approves Aid Plan
Of Dem Party

DES MONIES, July 17.-tP-Con-
demnation Of President Coolidge's
veto Of the McNary-Haugen bill, the
republican farm relief plank and the
candidacy Of Herbert Hoover today
were contrasted with the approval Of
agricultural plank Of the democratic
party as the results Of a meeting
OF the corn belt committee.
Members of the committee, made
up of mid-western farm leaders, as
sembled yesterday to discuss the po-
litical situation as il affected the
farmer in the forthcoming election.
Organized agriculture speaking
through the corn belt committee
hereby expresses its determination
70 carry on the fight for the princi-
pie Of the McNary-Haugen bill,
which i the only plan that has been
suggested to make the protective
tariff effective on these agricul-
tnral products az which we produce
a surplus, without government sub
sidy. which We have consistently OBJ
posed" said the resolution.
The Houston agricultural plank
was commended on the ground that
1t includes a definite endorsement
of the principles for which organ-
lied agriculture has long been fight
ing" The republican stand on the
farm question was pictured as "a
renewal, in less definite form, of the
pledges adopted in 1924 at Cleve-
land
with every ounce Of our strength
We oppose the Hoover-Coolidge poll
icy Of the industrialization Of Amer
lea at the expense Of agriculture"

~Infantile Paralysis
Still Battles All Con-
troll; Serum Is Help
In Attack

NEW YORK, July l7.=P-Be-
lieving that on the basis Of the his
tory Of the disease they cannot look
forward with an ydegree Of assurance
to an absence Of outbreaks of in
fantile paralysis during this summe
and fall, doctors and research men
throughout the country are organ
izing for q concerted attack on any
epidemic that may develop.
Every possible precaution is now
being taken. TO protect the public
from the ravages Of the disease and
doctors believe the advances which
medicine has made in the knowl-
edge of i~nfantile paralysis during re-
cent years should diminish the anxi-
ETY. which its presence always oc-
casions.
Have Serum
No satisfactory method of inn
munization from the disease has
been developed but there is now a
convalescent serum, taken from the
blood Of recovered patients, which
acts TO nullify the virus if injected
in the early stages Of sickness. Funds
have already been established in San
Francisco, Boston and New York, to
defray the expense of collecting and
distributing this serum, which will
be placed in the care Of committees
of physicians especially informed and
qualified 20 direct its use.
When the above facts and those
that follow were made known to the
Associated Press they we're presented
to officials Of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute OF Medical Research and the
institute rave its official approval.
Germ Divisible
The main centers Of experimental
investigation Of the disease have been
at the Rockefeller Institute here and
at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, al
though laboratories in Germany.
Austria and Sweden have added their
contributions to the rapidly growing
knowledge of the disease. Infantile
paralysis is caused by an invisible
germ and is communicated from one
person to another only through the
mouth and nose. Cleanliness and
from contacts such as
kissing children, who are the chief
victims, are the only known preven-
tives.
1T is necessary that parents keep
a sharp lookout as to the health Of
their children" one internationally
famous physician told the Associated
Press. Symptoms Of the disease are
apparent 70 the layman. The
children run a fever, become nau-
seated perhaps, and complain Of a
These are also symptoms
Of many other diseases. In a little

Or a leg become flaccid. II only the
can be placed in the hands OF
a competent physician before this

fetal. These facts are stated not
for the purpose OF alarming the gen.
sral public. but merely to point out

An auctioneer's hammer has seal

the estate of the late United States
Senator H. A. W. Tabor, leaving
the widow of the pioneer western
mine magnate in poverty.
Execution of a foreclosure order

was unable to meet the demand for
ready cash. As the sheriff announc-

NO CHANGE IN
CITRUS RATES
This Years Crop to be
Moved Under Ex-
listing Charge

The 1928 citrus fruit crop Of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley will be
shipped under the old freight rates.
according to information received
from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. No action in connection
with the establishment Of new rates
on citrus and other fruits will he
taken before February s, 1929, the
commission announced.
Under the order issued by the
commission ~suspending the citrus
fruit rate fixed by the carriers, the
suspended rate Immediately Joined
the "~untreated' class. The commits
sion originally announced that rates
on all commodities not treated in
the tariffs which went into effect
July IA, must be treated By Deem
Der 8. The time limit was later ex-
tended to February 3, and hearings
will probably be held on or before
date.
The present rates, while not sat
isfactory 70 Valley citrus fruit
growers and shippers, are decidedly
better than those which aroused the
protests OF all southwestern fruit
growers, shippers state. The present
rates give the Valley the advantage
in a large territory, but the pro-
posed rate, which was supended by
the commission, would have given
Florida a decided advantage. Rep
resentstives Of the Missouri Pacific
and Southern Pacific have indicated
they would join the Valley owe
and shippers in working out a rate
that would not permit Florida to
invade Valley territory.
Practically all the fruit crop OF
the Valley will be moved before Feb
ruary s, shippers point out, and they
express confidence in securing an
equitable rate for future fruit crops.
