Salvo Three Days Old
Three days ago the salvo opened
with half bricks raining Oh the

their fences watching the house and
people stood IN the yard today en-
deavoring TO find the source OF the
pebbles, but I'D 70 noo no trace Of

Frequently they are a. large rs z

OIL MAN EXPLAINS
 GASOLINE DANGERS
RaCkIiHe Tells KiWanianS Of Its
 Explosive Properties

Women who soak gloves in gaso- line and then put them on their hands to rub the dirt out are flirting, with death, Frank E. Rackliffe, pro- prietor of the Rackliffe Oil Co.,, told the members of the Aiwanis club today in an address on "The Haz- ards of the Oil Business"
 Gasoline has a potential explosive power equal to S3 pounds of dyna- mite to one gallon of gasoline, he said. A gallon of gasoline is equal in power to 10 horsepower per hour and is equal to a pressure of four million pounds per cubic inch.
 There is only one way to clean clothing with gasoline. that is send 1t to the dry cleaners" he stated.
 He told of a man who recently tried to clean an article of silk by dipping it into a quantity Cf gaso- line. The explosion blew the win dows out of the building and set the place afre.
 Many fires have been started in automobiles by drivers who run their motors while the gasoline is being put into the tank. he eX- plained.
 In a neighboring town man opened a dry cleaning plant with second hand machinery. He neglect ed to grease the machine. Friction generated a spark. The spark lg- nited gasoline. The man spent four months in a hospital.
 Gasoline is 50 explosive that some times even the static in the air Will explode it, the oil man told his fel- low club members
 Soaking gloves in gasoline and then rubbing them together in ones hands is almost sure to cause fire, and these fires generally result Tn death, he stated. He told of the case of a New Britain woman, mother Of four, who only 10 days ago poured gasoline on a fire she thought was out. She was burned so badly she died in the hospital.
 The speaker gave a graphic ac- count of the oil we'll Big Nary Of which so much has been printed re- gently, and which for time threatened to wipe out the entire city of Oklahoma City.
 So explosive is gasoline that re- gently when MT. Racklffc for eN- perimental purposes in his labora- tory wanted a gallon of natural gas which is distilled from gasoline, he te1pn6 Ono6 tbe rpfiDnrV

ALL-NEV BRlTA|NS
 MAY RESUME PLAY
Football Team to Take Field
 hS2in, f Plans H2tegiaIiZe

After two full seasons of inac- tlVity, the All-New Britain Football team will again take the field if plans laid by members of the All New Britain Football Club, Inc, al a meeting this morning. are carried through. The opening date for the teams first appearance on the grid iron will be next Sunday if arrange mcntS can be made for the appear ancc here Of d suitable opponent.
 Members of the corporation are President, Peter Perakos, secretary, Edward J. Daley and treasurer, John J. Walsh. President Perakos went into conference with his con- trcrcS this morning and he found that the other two members of the triumviratc were of the same opin- ion as he, that is. that a team could be successfully operated in this city this season.
 The meeting was called before the members of the corporation had learned that the New Britain Rams had decided to quit the field. The Rams met nothing but disaster financially since the start of the season and. after having only a small crowd at their game with the New Haven Trianglcs last Sunday at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park, the packers of the eleven de- cided to pull out of the field.
 4o resume the direction of the local team, will try to sound out the sentiment of the football fans of this city with regard to pro football. President Perakos stated today that he was not satisfied that the football fans of this city would like to see professional football pass from the scene. He is optimistic in feeling that the fans will back any efforts that he ard his associates can make towards furnishing the sport here for the remainder of the season.
 A conference was to be held this afternoon between the triumvirate and Attorney Elgcrt Politis, who managed the destiny of the New Britain Rams. Although the mem- bers of the triumvirate would make TO predictions about players, it is expected that with very few changes they will take over the Rams and operate the team under the time honorcd title of the All-New Britain football team. The corporation was formed at the close of play two sea- sons ago to ensure the name for the trio whenever the members were in clincd to get actiV ely into the sport again.
 It is planned to go before the park board to ask for more protec- tion at Memorial field so that the swarms of quasi-fans might not be able to scale the fence so easily. The members of the official body of the team plan to ask for strands of barbcd wire across the top of the wire screen already in place.
 What opponent willy be secured Tor next Sunday if the team gets into i operation, has not yet been decided
 on but an announcement on this
 score is expected by tomorrow.

Conservative Leaders Deny Any Part In Petition Asking Baldwin
 To Quit Place as Head of Party
Round Robin' Message Repudia:ed By Several Whose Names Appear On It - Others Say They Had No Hand in It.

London, Oct. 29 (P) - Conserva- tive leaders, among them Sir Bolton Eyres Monsell, chief parliamentary whip, disclaimed today participation in a round robin demand upon Stan ley Baldwin, former prime minister. that he resign leadership of the party.
 Sir Bolton issued a statement that he had received strong protests from members whose names had appear ed as signers of a letter yesterday sent to Baldwin calling upon him to quit
 Others Deny Voice in Affair Several members, whose names have been published, joined him in | dependcntly with individual protests, declaring they neither had attended the meeting at which the call upon l Baldwin was drafted nor signed the document
 The demand, in petition form, wa: handed to the chief whip last night and was to come Up for dis Cussion at a party caucus today. It contained the signatures of 4 prom inent conservative members of par 1 lament.
 Sir Bolton's statement to the | press said
 1 "I have received strong protests from some members of parliament whose names appeared as signator- ies but who were not even present at the meeting. Resent False Report "These members of parliament naturally resent having had their names publicly connected with q meeting the report of which, l un- derstand, was both inaccurate and unauthorized"
 The petition bore the names of such party figures as Sir Basil Peto, Sir Martin Conway, Niscount Ly- mington, r. A. MacQuisten and E. | Marjoribanks. The action was commented upon as without precedent in British poli-
 
 have been likely to have caused a vote among the 2G0 conservative members of parliament, an adverse result of which would have brought about MT. Baldwin's resignation in favor of possibly Lord Beaverbrook, Winston Churchill or another such prominent figure.
 Col. Grctton Indignant Col. J. Gretton, M. P, today de- clared the petition was 'unauthoriz- cd and incorrect"
 Col. Gretton presided over last nights meeting. His signature led all the rest. He declined, however, to say or what point the statement was amiss.
 Sir John Power, one of those whose names appears on the list, declared he did not attend the meet ing and was ignorant any such let te' existed.
