UTAH CRIDDERS
 SEEM CHAMPS

Salt Lake City, Utah (UP)-The question bothering Utah football fans is not whether the University of Utah will win another state championship this fall-that IS, virtually, foregone conclusion but whether 1t will march to its fourth consecutive Rocky Moun- tain conference championship.
 The Utes, who havenu't lost a conference game since 1927 and whose golden age of football ma chimes reached a climax of one- sided victories last fall, have the nucleus of @ strong 1881 aggrega- tion.
 True, 1t may not be as strong as last year. Among the ten letter. men that graduated were such bulwarks of strength as Marvin Jonas, center; Captain Theron Price. halfback; Evert Lybbert, guard George Watkins, end; Pres- ton Summerhays, .halfback5 and Ray Forsberg, quarter.
 On the other hand, there are 12 lettermen who will answer the first practice call and a reason ably strong crop from last year s freshman team.
 Frank Christensen, the sensation al back of the conference last year, will be the foundation. He will be supported by Fred Tedesco, Juddy Bischoff, Dan Beckstead and S. Elliott.
 Coach Ike Armstrong's principal problems are to fill the quarter back, center and blocking back 1 positions.
 The University of Utah. which has wanted to add intersectional laurels to it's conference record, will get it's chance F days after the first practice, Sept 26. The Utes will play the University of Washington at Seattle.

EX-KING PLANS
 BOOK ON WAR

Paris (UP)-With nothing to do but find job to keep him busy, ex-King Alphonso of Spain advised close friends recently that he had decided to publish a book. The book will not be a defense of the Spanish monarchy nor an explan- ation of his abdication, but will be devoted entirely to proving that Alphonse was friendly to France in the World War.
 Alphonse was surprised, since coming here in exile. to learn that his war time position Is regretted by many French.
 In his book, the king intends to show what he did to prove his sympathy for France, despite the pro-G German attitude of many of the Spanish political leaders dur ing the war and the government E official neutrality.
 His writings will show how he spent from his personal fortune 10 obtain the repatriation of French prisoners and how he paid for special care for French wounded in German prison camps. One of the French prisoners whose return King Alphonso obtained was Maur- ice Chevalier, the moving picture star.

Republican Deputy Sheriff Predicts Fourth Ward Will Go Straight With Votes to Spare - Campaign Takes on Humorous Twist When Deputy Sheriff Says It With Music

Deputy Sheriff Nicholas Jamele, one of the leaders of the regular g.o.p. organization in the fourth ward, this afternoon made prepar- ations to serenade the Udelowitz or United Front workers at the poll Ing place in that section of the city. Sheriff Jamele hired the Negro orphan band which was engaged throughout the city rendering fav- orite tunes, to serenade the Udel- owitz workers in the fourth ward. The serenade will begin at 5 o'clock.
 The republican polling places will open at 4 o'clock. The fourth ward polling place will be at the Franco American club house on South Main street. Sheriff Jamele has instructed the Negro band to open their serenade to Udelowitz and his followers with the number, Nearer My God to Thee.
 Talked with this morning. Sher- if Jamele stated that the attempt on the part of the Udelowitz forces to defeat the regular organization in today's primaries amounts 10 nothing more than tunerai march. Therefore, he explained the number, "Nearer My God to Thee" will be quite fitting. lie predicted that his ward will go. in favor of the regular organization by . majority similar in proportion to the one shown in the heavy democratic vote of last Thursday night,

Formal Opening
 of New Library
Public Invited to Visit the
 Building at Waterville

Citizens who desire good read ing matter will be interested in the formal opening of the new library at Waterville this afternoon and evening. The librarian has extended an invitation to all the people of Waterville and other parts of the city to call and look over the new building. It is To- cated just south of the fire sta- ton. The building was originally intended for a lookup. but Water vile has no more use for such a building than a city of total ab- stainers have for a saloon, and it was finally decided to convert it into a branch of the Silas Bron- son library.
 Mayor Hayes and all the other city officials readily consented to an application from the library agents for the use of the building for the library purposes, and the necessary alterations have been un- der way for some time past, and now that 1t is ready for use, the agents and librarians are asking

The meeting of mayors of diff ferent cities to be held in New Britain this week to consider plans for raising taxes will be an impor- tant session. Owing to illness, Mayor Hayes of this city will not be able to attend.
 The session is sponsored by Mayor Quigley, who has a notion that other means of raising funds should be devised than looking to real estate for almost everything. It is said that owners of real estate pay over 60 per cent of all the municipal and other taxes. Mayor Quigley is not alone in taking the ground that a man who buys a home and is making an effort to own it, is made to carry more than his share of the cost incident to the proper regulation of the com munity. This idea is not new, but private corporations have always had enough influence to protect themselves from what many con- slider their just share of public eX- penses.
 It is said that there are more diamonds in the different towns and cities of Connecticut than there are private residences, but the number of diamonds reported to the asses sors do not cut much of figure in the make up of the grand list. Va rious other taxable property es-

HUGE X-RAY TO AID EXPERTS
 FIGHT CANCER
Giant West Coast Tube Nearly Ready for
 Use

Pasadena, Calif-An unraveling of the mysteries of matter and a possible solution to the difficulties that have baffled physicians in their battle against cancer, IS hoped for by California Institute of Technology scientists who shortly will start operation of the world $ largest and most powerful x-ray tube.
 The tube, approximately 30 feet lcng and using 100000 volts of electricity, is sciences latest in- strument in the struggle against death.
 Rays emitted by the tube are twice as powerful as all the radium in the world would be if gathered in one spot, Dr c. c. Lauritsen, it's designer, declared.
 With rays generated in the tube, technicians at the Institute expect to be able to demolish with ease the elusive atom, now believed to be composed of electrons, with a theoretical "breaking point" when struck" by about 100000 volts of electricity. Scientists in this way hope to be able to determine the constituents of matter.
 Scoentists do not know exactly the makeup of atoms. their theory being that electrons form the atoms, which in turn form mole cules. The different ratios of posi- tive and negative electrons account for the various forms of matter scientists believe.
 Although the exploration of the electrons is the primary purpose of the tube, cancer is to be the study of research committee composed of Los Angeles physi- clans.
 With proper safety precautions, 1t is believed that the potent rays will prove stronger and of more benefit than those now in use in treatments. The new tube is 1,- 100000 volts stronger than any existing instrument for cancer treatment.
 All work of constructing the gi- gantic tube was done in the shops of the Institute under the direction of Dr Lauritsen, assisted by stu dents.
 Glass cylinders. 20 inches high and tapering from IS inches to l. inches in diameter, form the glass exterior of the long tube. Inside are the electrodes.

INDIAN TRIBE
 AIDED PIONEERS

Bryson City, N. c. - (UP) - On the Cherokee Indian Reserva- tion, on Okoneeluftee River, ten miles from Bryson City, in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. there live some 5000 Chero- kee Indians.
 This tribe has a great history and has done much in the pio- neering of America. During the Revolution they fought with the English. In the war between the states, they fought with the Con federacy. Four hundred fighting braves were in Thomas legion, commanded by Colonel William H. Thomas.
 The outstanding achievement of the tribe was the creation of an alphabet, or syllabary, by one of their tribe, Sequoyah. Sequoyah' s statue is now in the Statuary Hall in Washington.
 Due to encroaching of white ment, this little band was forced to separate in 1SS7-3S. Then the federal government thought they should be moved to what was then the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) The Indians rebelled, but General Winfield Scott. with an armed force and orders from Washing ton, soon sent them on their way. It is said that many of the Indians died on this journey, many of them from starvation, exposure and disease.

TEXAS RESCUERS
 BUFFALO HERD

Goodnight, Tex, (UP)-The state of Texas has come to the rescue of a laundering herd of 250 buffaloes and will preserve the last great herd of the ,monarchs that once ruled the plains.
 The herd, the pride of the late Col Charles C. Goodnight, was doomed to provide sport for hunt CTS this fall, as the present owners proposed to dispose of the animals in a mighty last hunt.
 The proposal caused the legisla- ture to pass a bill intended to save the herd. The bill declared the buff faloes game animals and forbade their destruction.
 Definite plans to preserve them will be completed at @ barbecue on the Goodnight ranch Sept z. Gov Ross Sterlin, state officials and members of the Texas legislature have been asked to attend
 Leading the fight to preserve the herd is Fred Haskett, former West Texas newspaperman. While the state game commission is said to have money enough to preserve the herd and acquire land for it, Has, kett proposes to stage statewide campaign for raising funds by public subscription for use in pur- chasing the 10000 acre ranch for the herd.

Better Distribution
 Of Tax Burdens
Connecticut Mayors Meet at New Britain to Shift the
 Load From Backs of Property Owners If Possible

cape notice, but the building lot and home are sure to appear on the lists. The public will be interested in the outcome of the meeting in New Britain. It is doubtful if 1t can call attention to anything that has not already been mentioned, but for one reason or another, nothing came of the talk to find sources of revenue which would Tighten the load of taxation on home owners.
 It must be plain to all thinking people that the sum total of grand lists must be maintained. The ques- tion under consideration is how to add to them and place proportional burdens on each citizen. There is no likelihood of a reduction in taxa tion. People want the best in every thing that makes for educational facilities, police and fire protection; an abundant supply of clean water; good streets and sidewalks and such other things as make for rgiht living, and while this is so 1t stands to reason that funds necessary to pay for these things must be col lected from year to year. It is said that one reason why taxation is too high on real estate is because so many other things manage to es- cape the assessors. However, that may be, the grand lists must be kept up and the best possible use made of public money. It might surprise some to know that many believe 1t would be better to pay a little more in taxes and have every body working and happy than re- duce the amount and throw thou sands out of employment.
 It is a good plan to see that everybody engaged in gainful busi- ness contributes his share to the public treasury and if the New Britain meeting of mayors can do this they will have accomplished something worth while.
