Ganna Walska Gets
 Her Jewels at Sea

New York. March Is ~IGanna Walska, singer and wife of Harold F. Mccormick, was outside the IT, mile limit today and at liberty to wear her $250,00O worth of jewels.
 The jewelry was delivered aboard the liner Paris shortly before the ship sailed after having been se- ouestrated in a customs warehouse since Mime. Walska arrived in this country last year. The jewel case was placed in keeping of the purser by customs men who cautioned him not to give it to the owner until the ship was outside American waters
 Mime. Walska refused to pay duty on the jewels when she entered th' country, claiming the right to bring them ir as property of foreign visitor.
 She took the case to court but seizure was upheld on the ground that Mime, Walska could not claim Paris as her residence inasmuch as she was the wife of Mccormick, "a resident of Chicago.

COSTUME JEWELRY
 REMAINS POPULAR
Women Still Tumble for Money
 Making SpsciddS

Paris, March IS R-There will be no let-up in costume jewelry as long as women continue to tumble for the money making specialties launched by famous style makers.
 Necklaces and bracelets. which sell at big prices in the shops that sponsor them. but cost compara- lively little to produce, are one of the most remunerative side-lines. They go hand in hand with per fumes as tried and tested profit makers.
 Competition for the exclusiveness of new costume jewelry ideas IS keen. Therefore the dressmaking house that can show something original and assure it's customers that they cannot find it elsewhere and that no costume can be truly Vionnet or Chanel or Lanvin with out it has tremendous turnover on its line of talk as well as its line of merchandise.
 The fly in their ointment. however. Is the copyist. There are more COpSlStS opcIdllhS III 'iit NcS@oA''" jewelry field. probably. than in any other. Styles have to be changed rapidly for the famous houses to maintain tho originality of their ideas.
 Among the latest novelties is collar of gold. or simulated gold, stamped out of one piece of metal. It has & cut-out pattern and comes an inch or so below the base of the throat. It fits closely about the neck like a slave collar.
 Looking glass chokers are anoth- CT novelty of spring. Crystal and coral, or imitation coral, beads in combination are new. The same bead necklace is carried out in manay colors, with the colored beads concentrated in large knobs half the size of a golf ball.
 Algerian and Tunisian Jewelry, modern and antique. is being push ed by several fashion houses. Ar rican gold work is also being pro- noted in the form of wide brace lets.

CONNIE MACK IS
 STILL IN RACE
Veteran Manager of Athletics to
 Try Again for Pennant

Fort Myers, Fla, March Is R)- Connie Mack, active and cheerful .n spite of nearly half a century in baseball. will attempt to win an American league pennant for Phila- delphia with practically the same payers who failed by narrow mar gin last year.
 Manager Mack will rearrange his men to some extent but no new faces will appear in the regular lineup. Every indication, however, points to one new pitcher and if the young man about to be struck by the major league lightning has curve ball Athletic fans will ses a great deal of him.
 This promising recruit. Bill Breckenridge, late of Dartmouth, may be the only player who will have to be introduced at Shibe park. The other youngsters who have a chance to stick have been there be- fore.
 "Breck,' as he is affectionately addressed by the other players, has not yet been called on to show specifications for a curve ball, but there is little doubt that he has everything. else pitcher needs. A husky lad. he whips his fast one through with easy control and for a young man short of his majority, he displays extraordinary coolneSs on the mound.
 Assignment of the versatile Jim my FoXx, of the extra Foxes, to first base will cause a revision of the lnfield plans. Max Bishop would have been renominated at second base without opposition. but he showed a disinclination to sign. He may get so far behind in training that he will not be able to catch up. In such an event Jimmy Dykes, who plays anywhere he finds him. self. will perform at second, with Joe Boley at short and Sammy Hale at third. If Bishop gets in at sec- ond, Dykes still may get chance at a regular job by forcing Hale from third base to utility status. Joe Hassler and Eddie Collins again will stand by for infield emergen. cies. Nick Borelli. the Muhlenberg athlete. needs more experience.

STUDY ORDINANCE ON DYE|NG PLANTS
Council Committee Members Will Have New Law Drafted

After hearing explanations of the provisions of proposed ordinance intended to regulate the operation and maintenance of cleaning and dyeing plants in New Britain by K. J. kloiber and A. F. Tichstaedt Of the New Britain Dry Cleaning Corp. the ordinance committee of the com mon council voted last night to have Assistant Corporation Counsel Nj. II. Camp. Building Inspector A. N. Rutherford. and Second Deputy Fire Chief NJ. T. Souney take the matter in charge and prepare an ordinance which will be acted on at later meeting of the committee.
 The 22 provisions of the proposed ordinance were taken up one by one and thoroughly discussed. Council man D. l.. Bartlett said he favored have small tailoring establishments legislate out of existence. He said there were some tailors in the city, including aged men who could not hold places in competition with young men. yet were able to eke out clothes. It is frequently necessary, he said, to havo spots washed out of suits of clothing by gasoline and sponge, and he felt that there should be no action taken which would make it unlawful for these men to do that work.
 John E. Dunlay of 464 West Main street told the committee that every precaution should be taken 10 pre- vent a recurrence of the condition which residents of his neighborhood are annoyed by on account of the cleaning plant on Lincoln street, near West Main street. This plant, he said, gives off offensive smoke. odors and gases, spelling washing5 on lines in the yards. and depreciat- ing the value Of surrounding proper ty. He said he had consulted every official body in the city government which might be expected to haveI some authority in the matter, but all the satisfaction he received was to have someone tell him he could go to law about it if he wished. MT. Dunlay impressed upon the commit tee that he realized 1t was probably too late for relief for him and the others affected by this plant, but he felt it only fair that other sections of the city should be protected against similar condition.

Wild Throws Put Braves
 On the Winning Side

St. Petersburg, Fla, March l. Al Tt was some wild throwing by the one and only Babe Ruth and the rookie, Sam Byrd. that forced the Yankees to accept 6 to facing from the Boston Braves in a ten in ming battle here yesterday. A two- base wild throw by Byrd put the Braves in the game in the eighth and Ruths toss in the general direc- ton of the grandstand gave them the break they needed to win in the tenth. The Babe, however. kicked in with two singles his first hits of the exhibition season.

a reserve assisted by Oasie Orwoll who was . pitcher last year and first baseman this spring. AS a first sacker he is said to have resembled good outhelder or left-handed pitcher. Redman Kume. Southern Methodist university football player, and John Scott. Mercer university product and protege of the Fort Myers Kiwanis club. are not yet ready.
 Mickey Cochrane, the most valu- able player in the American league by official verdict, will do the bulk of the catching, but Cy Perkins is available as first aid. Perkins has the happy faculty of thriving on idleness. and even after an absence of a month from the game he can go in and catch "cold" without his work suffering.
 Bob Grove. George Walberg, and Howard Ehmke, John Quinn, Eddie Rommell and George Earnshaw will be the chief dependence in the pitching department; with Brecken- ridge, Stewart Bolen. Carroll Ridges curve passes all the tests, he may become a starter.
 John Picus Quinn who will be A years of age the day after the fourth of July. is one of basebalrs most interesting stars. John Picus in his He is still somewhat short of Groves sensational fast ball, but the old man seems to be noticeably faster than he was few seasons ago. He also has one of the few surviving spit balls in the game. The senior pitch CT of the two major leagues in 1928 compiled q pitching percentage of more than TOO and had an earned run average of less than three runs to the game. so with speed this year he should do no worse.
 Earnshaw prepared carefully for the new campaign, preceding the training camp work with baths and exercises at Hot Springs, Ark. and Manager Mack expects consistent work from the former Oriole. The other pitchers have rounded into shape without suffering injuries. The only casualty in the Athletic camp has been Joe Boley, who has been slowed in his work by a sore arm. Eddie Collins, who keeps a paternal eye on the infielders, has restricted his practice to minimum while awaiting for the arm to respond to treatment.
 The Athletics have plenty Of con- fidence and hope to do better than they did last year One department in which improvement Is expected is that of double plays. If the runners up had been more adept at getting two at once, they might have won the American league championship.

Washington, March 27-Whatcvcr
awful things may be in store during
The extra session Of Congress Begin
ming In April. state OF serene calm
exists in Washington at the moment.
There is a great deal OF back-stairs
n,aneuvering going on in connection
With the tariff bill and this Is the
time when conflicting interests are
really doing their most important
work on that legislation. but no one
is publicly squawking about anything
yet and the lasting bitterness which
It was feared might have been Gre
ated by the presidential campaign
apparently has faded away.
There is general satisfied feeling
with the first weeks Of the Hoover
administration. The president has
done number Of things which have
evoked cheers from all quarters and
nothing, as yet. that proved at all
unpopular. Nearly every day some
thing has been announced which
tended to disappoint those who hoped
and predicted that Hoover would
make a poor president. OF course, he
may have immense trouble with the
extraordinary session. But he is off
to beautiful start. Day after day,
he has even been pleasing the pro-
grcssives and the Democrats. His
order for publicity for income tax
refunds and for an end Of the spy
system in federal penitentiaries. for
instance. Also his new oil conserva-
ton policy. his acceptance of Indian
Commissioner Burke's resignation
and his new policy OF relations with
the press, to mention few.
= \ \
The bootleggers arc apparently the
only unhappy group in Washington
today Due probably both to the
drastic Jones law penalties and
Hoover's understood desires to dry up
Washington, they are actually wor-
ried.
Many Of them believe that every
thing will straighten itself out foy
awhile: some of them think condi-
tions in the booze industry will be
stabilized by the present situation.

But until they learn just how
serious the effect of the law will be,
they are taking unprecedented pre-
cautions. Those who have ever had
unpleasant contact with the law cn-
forcers arc changing their hcadquar-
ters or their telephones or their auto
mobiles. or all three. and hiring new
delivery men whose faces arc unfa-
miliar to the law.
Most of them have raised prices
but some of them not at all e3orbi-
tantly. They explain to customers
that the "men higher up In the busl-
ness have raised the wholesale price
and that they must pass 1t along.
They deeply resent any insinuation
that the Jones law has been made a
pretext for profiteering. 1t is going
to cost lot more, they insist, to buy
protection from prohibition agents
and the police. Immunity is now more
valuable.
When Congressman George Hud-
dlestone of Alabama joins up with
Congressman Cordell Hull of Ten
nesSec to fight the tariff Dill, as ne
presumably will, an ancient alliance
again will have been resumed.
Nearly thirty years ago Hull and
Huddleston we're classmates in the
law school of Cumberland University
at Lebanon, Tenn. At that time the
highest honors which could come to
law students there were the senior
class presidency and the judgeship of
the Moot Court" in which the stud

One afternoon Huddleston trudgcd
mile through the rain to suggest to
Hull what was probably first "po-

combine forces. Huddleston said. and
capture those two jobs. Hull agreed.
