Another New Britain basketball team will enter the field tonight when the National Guard quintet, composed of local players, opens it's season gainst the strong Manches- ter Recreation Five at the state armorY on Arch street. The Hard ware City team shapes up as a like ly combination, one that will be able to cope with the best oppos- ton statewide and out of the state. The visiting delegation. however, is no strange one to New Britain court fans. Three veteran players grace the roster in Holland, Norris and Madden and these have always made things hot and interesting for any opponents. The Guards have certainly picked on a tartar for their first entry into basketball circles and the game tonight will be a real l test of the teams strength.

MUSSOLINI APPROVES
CHURCH MARRIAGES
Dictator Lives Up to Promise At
tending Recent Ac-
cord.

ROME, Italy.-Mussolini has fully
lived up to his promise that the recent
accord between the Holy See and the
Italian state will not interfere with the
beliefs and activities of italian Catho-
lies.
Recently law came into effect CIV
ing validity to marriage ceremonies
performed by Protestant and Jewish
clergy, thus placing these sects on par
with the Catholic Church as far as
marriage is concerned.
A further step has been achieved with
an agreement between diplomats of the
two powers regarding religious educa-
ton in the schools. Students in the
Italian intermediary schools" attend
ed by children between IA and 20 years
of age, will have one hour of religious
education every week, provided their
parents are of the Catholic faith and
approve of the instruction. Protestant
and Jewish children will be exempted
from these classes, although it is taken
for granted that they will have no in
struction in the tenets of their own
faith. 1t now becomes evident that the
Catholic Church will have far less in
fiuence through the italian schools
than 1t expected when the lateran
treaty and the concordat we're signed,
there being little possibility that new
converts will be secured through any
instruction which may be given to stu
dents.

I'd like to see anything you've got OF

The sketch book was, of course, quite

Laxton began with this question a

me hot and cold by turns. It was
perfectly diabolical conversation.
"I like this" he said. TITS got such
foreign look, don't you Think" It's
