lily shaped. When rigidity and strength
are required copper is alleged with
zinc to make brass, which is harder
and resists rust equally well.

ADVICE FOR
HUSBANDS

When a wife begins to be for
mally jealous OF her husband he
should begin to suspect her
fidelity, thinks Ferenc Molnar,
the famous Niennese playwright,
writing in the current issue Of
"Vanity Fair Magazine" For the
further assistance Of husbands
Molnar recounts 20 other signs
whereby they may know that they
are no longer beloved. Here are
a few OF them:
"If she, who has never before
been prompt In all her life and
has never arrived home In time
for dinner, suddenly commences
to be as punctual as a clock. If
her lips and cheeks are rouged
and powdered more conspicuously,
more daringly when she COMES
home than when she leaves tho
house. If she il not merely more
affectionate to her hushan nd than
usual, but even more tender than
he expects her to be. more gentle
than she actually should be. If
she suddenly discovers a hitherto
hidden sympathy for the poor
working people. If she cannot
speak indifferently enough of the
suspected man. If she ceases tn
make up the lists of guests her
self. If she, who has hitherto
picked a quarrel with her husband
every time he accidentally opened
one of her letters, asks him to
open her mornings mail for her
because she pretends to be TOO
lazy to do it. II light and fashion
able music does not amuSe her
any longer, but only the more
serious kind"

LOCALS MEET WATERBURY
 IN STATE LEAGUE GAME
Postponed Contest to Be Staged at Stanley Arena- Brass City Outfit Scored Victory Over Hardware City Quintet in Last Clash - New Britain Team Must Win to Stay On Top in Standing - Visitors Bringing Strong Combination to This City.

New Britain. facing the prospect of two games and then the cham pionship of Connecticut State Bas- ketball in the second half and q probable chance of winning the state title again this year, will meet one of it's two last opponents tomorrow night at the Stanley Arena when the Waterbury St. Joes arrive here to do battle.
 The visiting aggregation sprung one of the biggest surprises of the season recently when 1t dumped the Hardware City quintet in game played here. On that night, the New Britain team appeared to be slightly over-confident and the Wa terbury quintet came through with a flying rally in the second half to take the measure of the local club.
 Tomorrow night, with the second half championship at stake, the New Britain crew will be alert and in fighting form. Each player has been impressed by the necessity of winning the contest because of the fact that after tomorrow nights game only a meeting with the Atlas five of New Haven remains before the league schedule closes.
 At the present time, New Britain is leading the league n first place A loss of one game will leave the local team in a tie with the Atlas while two defeats will give the New Haven club the honors for both halves of the league.
