Britain team. is suffering from . badly swollen right hand and this has handicapped him greatly in his play. He received brutse in Mon' day nights game here and yester. day around the knuckles. the hand was almost twice its size.
 Archie Muirhead is a walking cripple from Injuries received in re- cent games. Archie received cut on his right knee in a game Last week. Last Sunday. he was hit on tho muscle on tho left leg. He has . bruise on hts left jaw and another cut on his right cheek. <
 Archie's only comment when re- marks are made about tho numer' ous bruises hs receives. Is that he is tn the wrong game. He thinks ne should have been prise fighter rather than . hockey player.
 There's plenty of action these days and evenings at tho North Ena park skating pond where tce polo has gained tho popular chord w'tn these who love ice sports. The thaw of last night following | deluss o1 rain has probably interrupted tho sport for some time but previous 10 the warm spell, many skaters were indulging in the pastime.
 The game k played with . ball similar to that used in roller hoc- key and with the small "shinny' sticks. Eddie McAloon,' Junior. IS star at this game.
 The .deluge of rain last night spoiled possible chance for Bristol fans to sec father and son in action in the game between Bristol and New Britain. Eddie McAlonn. senior, is sixth man on New Britain ana Eddie, junior. Is sixth man on Brls' tol, N might have been possible TOT father and son to get against each other in the contest.
 Boucher had especially tough luck in tho contest with tho Bell Towners. He had at least five in and out goals in tho game. With Bris- tol winning 5 to {, had these other goals, three of which were absolute Iy in, been scored. New Britain would have had a sizeable lead.
 Interest in the game here between New Britain and the Atlas basket ball teams is rising to fever pitch n the date for the contest draws near. The quintets clash Saturday night at the Stanley Arena.
 The Atlns Five. 1t became known today, has also cancelled in game with Bristol scheduled for Friday | night in New Haven. The New Ha- ven management made . request of Manager Joe Carroll of the Briatol Endees to call off the game for this week. The reason is that the Atlas players want to be in the best possible condition for tho meeting with New Britain Saturday night.
 New Britain, having cancelled the game with Waterbury in Waterbury Thursday night, had probably the same reason for this action as New Haven did in postponing Its clash with Bristok The game Saturday night should be an epic contelt.

 Stars only up to the ltth masni- tude have been photographed. Thirty years additional work would be required to include the mapping Of fainter stars.
 The cameras used for the chart ing are specially long-focused. fixed to telescopes which travel by a clockwork device at the same rate Of speed as the stars they are em- bracing. The length of the exposure depends on the brilliance Of the star to be photographed.
 The heavenly charts are expected to be Of great value to the as,ron. oner Of the feature. because they will enable him to tell how much q star has moved in relation to its neighbors. and in what direction. Determination of the exact position of stars is considered today as being one of the most important phases of astronomy.

Magnet Bulb Gl0ws
 After Power Goes
East Pittsburgh, Pa. Jan. 1a Up

East Pittsburgh, Pa. Jan. 13 R) Ordinary electric bulbs glow only when wired to electric power and go out instanly when the power is turned of. In the laboratories of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac- turing Company. however, Dr. Phil lips Thomas, research engineer, has developed a bulb without wires which glows when held in mag netic field and continues to glow for 10 minutes after the power is shut off.
 Were such bulbs used for light ing. a brisk person could turn out the lights in his bedroom and un- dress before the room was dark.
 pr. Thomas produced the bulb in the course of experiments on power by radio. He says it is not practical at present for general illumination.

of the telephone fund should be laid be-
fore the Council, bot it is sometime now
that such d statement has been lad
before the Council. Tod y. however, a
statement for the fiscal year 1926-27 has
been aid before the Council, so the first
question seems to be met, but not an
swerpd. | would like to have the Chair
man put the first question to the Govern
ment Representative. ! have been a
member of the Municipal Committee in
former years, and | am OW d member OF
that Committee, and during all this time
have eve seen a statement regarding
the funds of the telephone system. There
things should be looked into. There have
been so many complaints that | consider
the system needs an Investigation and a
good shaking up. | have letters from two
of nv constituents who have been denied
telephones unless they can PUNK down an
exOrbitant amount Of money; for instance
have a letter from Mr.. Vecht at Estate
Mt. Ppilier which | will read MIR. Chair
man, with your permission. The speaker
read the letter, also a letter from Mr..
Griffith Of Bag.of Allen, and continuing,
said: | have q third letter, one concern.
ing myself. made application Tor a
phone at Estate Jerusalem and | was ask
ed to deposit $4,000 although the posts
are there and part of the line is there.
| consider it unfair to me to have 10 de
post $50 90 before | can have a phone.
The telephone system is a public necessity
and people should not be pc aiized, es
pecially those who are living in the coun
try. should like tne Government to
state whether the Municipal Telephone
System comes under the heading OF the
economic affairs of the island.
Despatchlng Secretary (FoTlUeO Mr..
Vice-C Chairman. in regard TO tine first
question, | would like to state that on
several occasions request has been re
ceived from the Chairman of the MUM
cipal Committee to have statements OF
the Telephone Fund furnished the Mum
cipal Committee and it has always been
furnished on request. A few days ago a
letter was received requesting that a
statement Of the FUNDS be furnished the
Colonial Council, and as far as | have
been able to find out that's the first re
quest that has been received. However,
the records of the fund are kept in the
office of the Despatching Secretary and
are opened for inspection by any interest
ed party. Certainly there is no objection
to furnish statements to the Municipal
Committee or the Colonial Council: II the
Council so desires 1t will be furnished
whenever request is made. / am not here
to state that there is nc law that requires
the furnishing of the statement, but |
have not hppn able to find any. In regard
