 Termed Crazy"

Testimony of 12 witnesses placed on the stand by the state was char acterized as false by John Ander- son, 35, of North Main street. tes,i- flying in nis own defense to charges of robbery with violence in the criminal superior court this morn- ing. Taking the stand shortly before 1 o'clock Anderson denied the 1c- cusations made by the states wit ncsses and charged that two of the witnesses must be crazy"
 Trial of Anderson was started this morning before a jury with Judge Frederick M. Peasley presiding. States Attorney Lawrence l..

Because 1t is so helpful in keeping babies and children healthy and happy, every mother should learn all about Phillips Milk of Magnesia.
 This harmless, almost tasteless preparation is most effective in re- lieving those symptoms of babies and children generally caused by souring food in the little digestive tract, such as sour belching, frequent vomiting, feverishness, collie. As a mild laxative, it acts gently, but cer- tainly, to open the little bowels in constipation, colds, children's dis eases.

THREE MILLION
 ANNUAL VISITORS
Waterbury and Other New England Cities Have At-
 traction for Tourists
BOOST THE BRASS CITY

Boston, Jan 8.-While indications
 are that 1881 will bring a normal number of recreational visitors to New England-estimated at three million annually--these visitors will be more careful of their expen- dltures than in recent years, and New England's recreational industry | must improve it's "product' if the
 coming season is to be as successful
 as 1t should be. This is the declara-
 ton of Colonel William A. Barron Of Crawford Notch, N. H., chairman
 of the New England council com | inlttee on recreational development
 in year-end statement at council
 headquarters here to-day.
 Study of the market to insure that visitors are offered what they want
 at prices they are able and willing to pay. more aggressive merchant dising. and a possible joint advertis- ing campaign are other suggestions
 made by the council chairman. 'The year 1880 has shown quite definitely that, no matter what busi- ness conditions may be, the average American family will not forego rec IreatiOn," Colonel Rarron's statement says From all indications normal number of people visited New England last year.
 "The recreational development | committee of the New England council believes that this condition will hold true in 1881. Not only does New England have q variety of nat ural attractions not surrassed by any other Section of the United States, but it is easily accessible by high way. rail. water, or air to the most Ia t<Iy yIVv rtat .l,.~ | of the country.
 However, as In 1930, the visitor to New England will not spend as | much money on his vacation as he did in 1929. He will not travel as far and he will shop even more closely for lodging. for food, for re- creational facilities. Those bus- | nesses which derive their income from those who seek recreation in New England must be better prepar-
 cd in 1891 than ever before to offer
 accomm odations. facilities and ser

 wants to buy at prices which he is

In the East, there are at least three
dangerous crews which will go to the
line,
Syracuse has not been tested extern
sively this season, but we know that
the present eight is practically COM
posed of the winning freshman oars
men who made such a good showing
as Sophomores. AS Juniors they may be
tough to beat.
Cornell and Columbia are crews of
proven worth. Some think this is the
best eight Columbia ever has assembled
Cornell has shown amazing power at a
low beat This affair at Poughkeepsie
is going to be boat race.
WE have been talking a lot about
w what the young tennis players OF
the United States will do against
the French in the Davis Cup matches
but we may have been overlooking
something.
What are the youngsters going to dc
against England? Bill Tilden is about
the only one who has called some at
tention to this question.
1t just happens that Bunny Austin
and Fred Perry have been playing some
fine tennis.
Bobby Jones must have tuned up his
golf game in Hollywood, not that his
game isn't always tuneful. But the
flrst thing he did on his return was to
break a course record.

Stars on Carrots and Spinach
Diet Enables MelillO of Browns to Conquer Illness
and Climb Ladder to Fame

association fans told st. Louis what
a good ball player they had secured
to play second base and help bring
the first pennant into the tepee of
the Browns.
Melillo began well. Then he
seemed to grow weaker and weaker.
BY and by there were scores who
expressed their sympathy and adj
miration for him because he kept on
trying against every physical handi-
cap.
He had to quit after a while-and
then it was that he began his attack
on the ailment that had seized upon
him. He was assisted nobly by Mrs.
Melillo, who was determined that her
excellent ball-playing husband should
recover his skill.
Now Melillo, the carrot-spinach
diet-cured ball player, is batting
close to $50 and playing second
base with vengeance. He has ac-
cepted eight chances twice, nine
chances four times, ten chances
three times and eleven chances once.
He is excelling all second basemen.
Just recently Melillo had eight
consecutive hits, which is not a rec
ord, but it Is good base ball. and
there is no telling when he will du-
plicate it or do better, because he
never stops trying-and also he
sticks close to his dose Of carrots
and spinach.

line definitely marked at Little Falls.
The Commissioners order has been
received by Melvin Hazen, District
surveyor, who informed Rod and
Stream that the work would be done
within the next several days. HAGEN
said he would have one Of his men
designate the line, and that the har-
Dor precinct would paint a large white
line on big rock easily discernible to
local anglers. This action was taken
owing to local fishermen getting into
Maryland territory due to not know
ing where the line crosses the Poto-
mac.
Thousands Of small fish can be saved
this Summer If the anglers wet their
hands before taking them OF the hook
and returning them gently back into
the water. Dry hands disturb the pro-
tective film Of the fish, causing fungi
to attach to the injured places. This
eventually kills the fish, experts de-
clare. If the hands are wet the film
Is not disturbed and the little fish are
not permanently injured If gently
handled. These fish grow up and
afford the angler future pleasure and
food that otherwise would be lost.

Race Track Idol
In Science Halls

CHICAGO, June IS R).--Man O.
~ War, who carved a niche for
himself in the turf's hall of
fame, took his place today in the
halls OF science as tine paragon OF
modern horseflesh.
A model of the racetrack idol by
Frederick Blaschke, the noted Sculp-
tor, went on exhibition at the Field
Museum of Natural History as the
last word in group depicting the
evolution of the horse.
The development Of the horse
from eohippus, a tiny four-toed ami
NAL the size of cat, to the superb
running machines of today, required
$4,000 years, DR.. o. G. Earring
ton, curator Of geology at the mu-
scum, said.
In the group are the fossils and
reservations of the remote ancestors
of the present-day horse. Their
development extended through flve
geological periods. For the end
product of this change, Man-o'-
War was selected as the best speci-
men of equine perfection.
