Speaking s of Sports

From the standpoint of the fans, 1t is unfortunate that the trio of men kEown as the All New Britain Foot ball. Club, Inc, has abandoned plans to keep professional football going in this city, but from the stand point of the men involved in the promotional end of tl4e game, 1t ap- pears to be a wise move.
 Figures as to attendance, receipts an1 possible expenses were gone over very thoroughly by the three men. It was their idea to lower the price of admission from 75c 10 50 cents. At the lower price, it would have been all but impossible for them to see their way clear to cov- CT expenses.

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert j. Bell of Phil

try and will do so under their own roof.
Bell, an inventor, has brought about
something of an innovation in "hOuse

bungalow with all modern conveniences
of the average household on the chassis
of a well known make of touring car
A shower bath on the dusty roads of
Arizona might sound like so much chin

syrup while trekking the frosty trails of
Canada?
Bell has thoughtfully provided his
"galloping gondola" with the necessities
Of q traveller. Listing them: Double
folding bed, clothes dresser, clothes
cooking stove convertible into heating
plant), folding dining table, electric
lights, dish and cutlery container, half
length mirror, observation platform.
Oak and hickory walls, with stamped
copper affording inner protection, and
Q specially treated four-fold canvas
roofing, guard against the elements in
their most severe form. Running the
engine with the car idle and letting the
manifold do the rest Is guaranteed to
protect the health in zero weather,
should the convertible stove fail to pro-
vide enough heat, which, according to
Bell, it is unlikely to do.
The estimated cost of constructing his
house n-wheels is set in the neighbor-
hood Of $500.

HITLER IN ATTACK
ON GERMAN LIVING
Populace Inconsistent, Fails to
Back Votes, Charges Fas-
cist Leader.

BERLIN R.-Germans aren't prac-
Using what they vote, complains the
oficial organ of Adolf Hitler's Ma
tional-Socialist party. the voelkischer
Beobachter.
The tremendous acceleration of the
Fascist movement In Germany since
1928 sprang suddenly into the limelight
on September IA when Hitler land
slide increasedthe party's Reichstag rep
resentation from IL to lot seats.
But public cooperation in the Fascist
campaign to promote home agriculture
and discourage use of imported foods
hasn't shown anything like an up
swing. In fact, as the Voelkischer
Beobachter points out, it seems to have
declined.
In the first six months Of 1929, for
example, Germany bought 966,573
Northumberland of foreign pota-
1859 ,891 double edweight-almost
twice as much. OF imported eggs Ger
mans used In 1880 a six-month total of
928,014 dozen, as against 902, 1872 dozen
in the same period last year, while the
consumption of imported fruits rose
from 3,112,934 double to
4,442 1886 double hundredweight.
"And So" laments Hitler's paper, eat
time when German agriculture
couldn't find market for its potatoes.
when the egg production of Germany
constantly mounted and German fruit
juices and the most varied types of do
nestle fruits were available, immense
sums were tossed into foreign countries
to the injury of German agriculture.
The outlay for these foodstuffs alone
amounted to approximately 800, 000. 900
marks in the first six months of $780,
In other words, millions of young
Germans who this year for the first
time voted Fascist do not appear to
have allowed the Fascist antagonism
toward foreign products to interfere
with their appetite for Polish potatoes,
Canary Island bananas and Danish
eggs.
