League Standing

Outscored and outfought by the Stanley Works team, runner up in the |. NJ. c. A. Industrial Basketball League, the Corbin Screw team lost the first game of the season at the Stanley Arena last night. Three games now separate Corbin Screw in first place and P. & r. Corbins in fifth place as the result of the Buttmakers victory last night. The score was 13 to 10.
 Although the game was the most important of the night it was the poorest of the three attractions from the standpoint of play and inter est. There was little scoring through out the game. Corbin Screw missed enough baskets to win several games. It's floor work seemed to be up to the class 1t displayed when tho team went trough to seven con- eecutive victories, but when the play ers got into shooting position chanc- cs for goals were flunked.
 For the first time since the P. X F. Corbin team was organized, 1t came on the floor last night with out Captain Ray Hoist who was with the An-New Britain team in Hart ford. Henry Rockwell who was sent in at center in place of the absent captain scored six field goals in his teams 3S to ll victory over the Newmatics.
 Probably the most interesting side light to the evenings entertainment was furnished in this game. P. & F. Corbins weFs off to a poor start and in the first 10 minutes of play they went scoreleH and were trail- iag II to 0. After 10 minutes and 30 seconds Of play the Lockmakers scored their first points. . field goal. Then the P. & F. scoring machine ran up . total Of IS points before New Tltta.n Machine could increase it's score. The second half was five minutes old when the Newmatic team found the hoop again.
 Corbin Screw girls and New Bri- tain Machine girls played their last game Of the season last night and the former won. Screw shop Is now assured of fourth place by its l2 10 { victory and the Stanley Works only hope is tic for last place.
 Girls Game
 The first half of the girls game wea an even battle. Through field goal by Carmilia Galati and a foul goal by Patroski the team led to 1 at quarter time. Smith. who did all the scoring for her team in the first half, before leaving on fouls. tied the score at S-ail. She put her team ahead by one point, but it was tied at 4-alt by Patroski.
 After holding It's opponents to a tie score in the first half, Stanley Works girls did not score another point in the last two quarters of the zane. The scoring of Walicki for the winners and Patroski for the losers featured the game.

 A Freak Game.
 The P. & F. Corbin team looked terrible in first 10 minutes of the game. It had no team work and 1t could not score. Brick Anderson. Aernn and Augustine scored at will and 1t began to look as if the New Britain Machine team was to have a field day at the expense of the Lock- makers.
 All of a sudden at the 10 minute mark. Corbins began to shoot and the Machine team started to look bad. Joe Jasper who was acting captain, "Huggy" Carlson and Hockey" Rockwell started a SCOT ing bee which brought the teams score to IS points. Part way through this sterling exhibition. the team was stopped because of first-half intermission. The count at this time was II to s, New Britain Machine.
 Four minutes after the second half opened Rockwell scored another field goal that put his team ahead 12 to II for the first time in the game. The campaign continued un- til the team made 34 points while Newmatics were adding three to its II points
 Foir the winners Rockwell and Jasper were stars on the offense and George Hallin shone on defense. Although he did not contribute heavily in the scoring Of the team, he made some great passes which resulted in a good part of bis team s field goals. Paris did a good job of holding Arena who starred for the losers.

MERCHANDISING MORE COMPLEX

One Of the nations great mercantile establishments
has department manned by skilled designers who
cooperate with manufacturers in the development of
existing designs and eventually in the creation Of
styles and types of merchandise. The starting point
was in the field Of home furnishings and decoration
Later it is planned to include apparel and eventually
all merchandise divisions.
This move on the part of of the most progress
slve institutions in its field illustrates very clearly how
closely the modern retailer is studying the desires Of
the customer. Not only the markets combed for
the best that manufacturers have OFFER but designs
are created to meet what the finds are unsatsfed
demands. This study Of the consumers wishes is
what today distinguishes successful merchandising.
The buying public today demands more than prod
uct at price. It wants goods with character, dis
tincton and artistic value, and it knows what goods
possess these qualities. American merchants are doing
business with persons of good taste.
That business welcomes and encourages this change
is not commonly known Many producers and
merchants have sighed for the days when the product
had to be right and volume took care Of itself and
they now cheer themselves with the thought that
perhaps with the nsstence upon design the cycle
of such real trading up is on its way back It is
not true that it is easiest sell to the customer devoid
OF taste and an appreciation of real quality.

THE HUDSON BILL

One of IT, best things that the next Congress could
do would be to toss in the wastebaske the Hudson bill
for federal censorship and control of motion pictures
This BILL said to be the most drastic of it's kind vet
drawn up, will be submitted with the backing of large
number Of reform organizations.
The movies, Heaven knows, sadly in need of inn
provement; but the improvement they need is not the
kind that can be secured by federal law In the matter
OF common decency and morality we are already pro-
tected by state and city laws; and the movies banaty
shoddiness pretentous treness and extreme bad taste
are not matters that any censor remedy.
This hudson bill looks to like an excellent thing
for Congress to ignore.

SPEED AND ACCIDENTS

An English traffic expert after long study of traf
fic statistics finds that something like So per cent Of
all .-affc accidents when the autos involved are
being driven at rate Of 10 miles an hour or less AS
result, he doubts if speed limits by themselves, are
really greatly needed
1t has been obvious for time that mere speed
uncompicated by any other factor, is not necessarily
dangerous There plenty Of times and places where
45 miles hour is not too fast.
But there is this to remember: if, when driving at
10 miles an hour you happen to hit another car you
won't have very bad wreck But if you hit some
thing when you're doing 49, you probably won't live to
have another accident. The low speeds may bring the
CREATE number Of accidents but the higher speeds
bring the more serious Ones
