two alleys apiece to four boys
and one alley each to eight boys.
They handled league matches and
the matches In which the boys
worked double were finished quite 9

There's b logical explanation.
The alleys are laid out in pairs, and
the pairs separated by the ball re-
turns. It II inconvenient for q PIN

Of the returns, so he occupies, as q
rule. the sidebOard that divides the
two alleys.

He doesn't think the Yankees are q

as his reasons the following:

records.
A. The Washington Senator's.
5. The belief that the Yanks got
all the breaks last year and none of
these happened to be bones.
6. The Washington Senators.

COLLECTORS LAX,
 BL0DGE7T SAYS
Issues Statement Relative to
 Carefree Actions

Hartford, Conn.,. Feb. s R1In published by State Tax Commission CT William H. Blodgett and now being sent to all tax collectors, mayors, wardens, first selectmen and municipal counsels, attention is called to unfortunate financial con ditions'' existing in some towns of the state through failure of "care- free collectors to assume the full responsibilities of the office" and their allowing too many tax liens. The commissioner finds that certain collectors fail to heed the budget plans of boards of finance and as a result burden their municipalities with debts.
 The purpose Of the document Is to explain fully the new tax lien law, chapter 300, public acts of 1927, which is applicable everywhere in the state and is considered by the commissioner of the utmost import ance. He comments the act be- cause of its intention to bring about the discontinuances of unfortunate collection practices.
 This new law, says the commits sioner in the introductory paragraph of the document, 'is of particular concern to collectors of taxes. It is effective and applies to taxes laid on the lists of 1927 and to subse- quent years. The money shown on the rate bill to be due from each tax payer must be collected and &C., counted for to the treasurer within the time prescribed by the statutes. otherwise the budget requirement. is not met and a certain deficit ensues.

SAYS WE NEED BIG
 NAVY AND MARINE
Commander Spanord of Legion
 Speaks in Portland

Portland, Maine. Feb. 8 R-En route to Augusta and Bangor today, 10 visit legionuaires, Edward E. Spafford of New York, national com mander of the American Legion, ex- plained the prohibition poll which he recently proposed. and stated that he favored a large navy and mer- chant marine.
 The United States needs both a big navy anl big merchant marine and not one without the other" Commander Spafford said. They are inseparable, for a large navy needs a large merchant marine to serve it in time of war and a large merchant marine needs large navy to afford it protection of the seas."
 He commented briefly upon the present condition of the navy, stat ing that it is not balanced and has not a full personnel.
 At the present time" he said the navy has but S9.ooo men, whereas il needs 13S,00b. l am in favor of the measures now before congress providing for larger navy"
 Commander Spalford smiled. when asked to explain the prohibition poll which he advocated. Everybody misunderstood about that. l simply meant to seek the representative opinion of the legion upon the ques- ton. Ii was the old New England idea with me-the town meeting sort of thing

HUNTING FOR MICROBE
Has Done Thousands Of Dollars Worth Of Damage to Laundry and Clothes in Springfield, Mass.

Springfield. Mass. Feb. 8 UP)-- A microbe. believed Of the fungus type, was the object of combined search of federal microbe experts and local laundrymen here today.
 The mysterious microbe. which eX- perts have not yet succeeded in iso- lating. has caused thousands of dol lars damage to clothing and threat ems to put the laundries out of bus mess unless its ravages can be check ed, it was said.
 The destructive work Of the mi crobe was not revealed until the cloth was ironed, experts said. The goods then showed holes where the fabric had been disintegrated.
 Local housewives reported suffer- ing losses from the same cause.
 The blight, which attacks linen and cotton cloth, is not confined to this section, however. Federal au- thorities said today it formerly had been confined to the Atlantic sea- board. but was now spreading west ward. It has been reported as ia" west as Chicago, but has been par ticularly active in western and cen- tral New England.

 For Disastrous Fire

Fall River, Mass. Feb. 8 (UP)- The theory of incendiarism in con- nection with Fall Rivers many mill lion dollar fire apparently has been eliminated in favor of a belief that carelessness was responsible for the conhagration.

 1928 Valentine Candy

New York, Feb. 8 (UP)-A ren- aissance in the manufacture of "con- vcrsation" candy hearts for exchange on St. Valentines Day is noted by the National Confectioners' associa- tion.
 The heart-shaped white candles. printed with affectionate sentiments in pink, were first made in Boston back in the middle eos. Since then they have been introduced all over the nation.
 Thus it is still possible to buy hearts bearing such juvenile mes- sages as Gan c U Homer" "U R Too Gay" and "Isle of View"
 The pink legends vary somewhat with changing idiom. Nowadays some of the hearts say And How" and Why Did You Bring That Up?"

 Gets &,@0 Alimony

Avery in the superior court in this city today, fol- lowing brief testimony by Mrs. Brown and her brother, John Ar thur Yeomans.
 The divorce was given to Mrs. Brown, who was being sued by her husband, and she received the de- cree on her croSs-complalnt. inc amount of the alimony had been agreed upon by counsel for both sides, according to statement to the court.
 Representative Brown who did not contest the case today. and whose attorney made no objection to the defense offering a transcript Of the testimony brought out in 8 motion made by Mrs. Brown to have a de- cree granted by Judge Allyn IL. Brown in favor of her husband set aside.
 The entire matter took just 10 minutes of the courts time today. Representative Brown was present in court, The divorce was granted on the grounds of misconduct on the part of the plaintiff.
 This ends the litigation in the case which attracted state wide attention when after Judge Brown had grant ed a divorce to Representative Brown. he was alleged to have re- ceiyed a letter from Miss Florence Thompson who said she had per- iured herself on the witness stand in the solon's favor.
 Judge Brown then granted a mo- tion by Mrs. Brown to set aside the decree and he turned the files over to States Attorney Arthur M. Brown. The latter after 8 searching ln- vcstigation charged Representative Brown with perjury. the state claim ing that he was the father of a child born to Miss Thompson.
 Presented in the criminal superior court, Representative Brown plead ed not guilty and elected to be tried by a jury. The trial was a lengthy one and the whole case was gone over. It was brought out in the first divorce case in testimony by Mr. Brown that his wife was guilty of misconduct with a mail man named Sullivan. This testimony was brought into the criminal case, which ended with the Salem solon being found. guilty of perjury. He was given six months in jail and was pardoned after serving about four months.
 The couple were married Septem- Der z, 1904. Mrs. Brown was also granted permission to resume her maiden name, Isabel Yeomans.
