It was also necessary for Coach Deuot to arrange with the State Trade school for. the use of it's showers since the construction of the new gym and shower room of the first run of the season will be held tonight after school over the regular course. Coach Depot has urged his men to take things easy for the first few weeks so as to break their muscles in gradually.
 The three mile course starts and finishes at the school and winds through the hilly parts of Willow Brook park. Running will be con- tinued until snow falls and then be- cause of the lack of gym will have to be stopped until next spring. when the call for track is issued. Coach Depot announced after the meeting that he hopes to have more boys come out for the sports there will be big openings foc distance men on next springs team.

Spe a kin g of Sports

An old-fashIoned football game, or at least a game that will have all the earmarks of one of the bat ties seen in this city some 20 odd years ago, will be fought out Sun day afternoon at the Hurley sta idium in Hartford when the Nut megs clash with the Hartford Giants.
 Hartford is ever and always anx- ,fous to beat New and the management of the Giants is leav- ing no stone unturned to have the team in shape for the powerful at- tack that the Nutmegs are sure to unleash on the Capital City crew.
 Among the players likely to be seen in action are two former Nut megs. namely Jumbo" Gnasdow, guard, and "Pee-wee" Werwais tackle. Both of these players failed to como to terms with Manager Bernie Conley of the Nutmegs and then went to Hartford. Gnasdow has already signed and the Hart ford management is seeking Wer- .wais
 "Butsy" Sturm has also been add ed to the Giants roster as has .Druehl, Meriden boy. Both of these players gave New Britain plenty of trouble last season. Carl Brink, a former Nutmeg end, is also on tho squad.
 With the rivalry that exists be- tween these men and the members of the present Nutmeg squad, the battle Sunday will be a knock own and drag-em out affair. We have heard more football fans say that they were not going to miss this game above all others this season. From the talk about town, there is sure to be big crowd on hand.
 The Nutmegs will draw their usual large crowd of rooters and, it is said, Hartford has a larger following than usual this year. This may be possible but whenever New Britain plays Hartford. wheth- CT the game be played in Hartford, New Britain or Harlem, there are always more New Britain rooters on hand than there are Hartford packers
 The Capital City will have to have plenty of fans out this coming Sunday 10 equal the corps that wll attend the game from this city. The funeral chorus is being formed about the city to conduct the ob- sequies over the Hartford Giants after the game is over. One thing IS sure, however, the goal posts will not be torn down because they area made of steel and sunk in five feet of cement.
 Despite the three victories of the New Britain team already this year, the Hartford management feels certain of victory in the first game this year. New Britain will have plenty to say about this when the clash actually takes place

An instrument which creates the

General use of the microspectroScope,

Uses Set Patterns.
A beam of white light directed against
a gem specimen is scattered into line
of colors by the instrument, set pat
terms for each mineral being produced
by the width of each color and by dark
bands on the miniature rainbow.
The dark lines, known as absorption
bands, vary in position and strength &C
cording to the mineral and enable the
observer to distinguish between a genu-
inc gem, its synthetic brother, or q
bottle-glass imitation.
The method, Dr@ Wherry explained,
is for use in identifying transparent or
translucent and more or less distinctly
colored minerals and as suitable for
minute fragment as for stone in the
setting, an advantage over acid and
scratching tests which REQUIRES fair
sample and often are injurious.

Great Britain's 100-passenger diri-

five years ago. was finally launched to-
day in perfect calm and was moored to

There was not a single hitch in the

cheering spectators as the craft scared

slight wind rising after the moor

Lieut.. Col. v. C. Richmond, the ships

dust from the top of the ship alone
would be blown away by Monday when

hard walking back and forth in the
