The correspondents commented upon the so-called killer instinct manifest by Helen Wills Moody in h,r one-sided victory over Helen Jacobs for the Seabright bowl.
 They seemed to think the worlds foremost woman tennis player ap- piled the pressure to bring about a humiliating setback for her Califor- mia rival for several reasons.
 First and perhaps foremost, there has been lack of cordiality be- tween the California Helens, al- though the origin or reasons for this have never been quite clear Both came up in the same Berkeley school. At one time, Miss Jacobs was touted to take the measure of Mrs. Moody, but her chances of doing so now appear extremely re- mote.
 Moreover, Seabright has held a 'jinx" for Mrs Moody that she was perhaps anxious to shake oil as convincingly as possible. It was on this Jersey turf that Elizabetf Ryan twice took the measure ot the Californian, in 1925 and 1926 at a time when Helen was na. tional champion.
 This years victory is the frs for Mrs. Moody in the Seabrigh singles. In her first two Easterr finals, the first at Essex agains Mrs. Anna Harper, the world! champion lost just one game 1T four sets.

 Considering the class of golfers in the Pacific Northwest, especially around the Portland area, three places out of 150 hardly seemed a sufficient allotment n the section al qualifying play for the National Amateur Championship. It resulted in the elimination ot as stalwart performer as Don Moe, who missed qualifying by a stroke.
 Five out of the 32 match play competitors in the national tourna- ment of 1929 were from this sec- tor. Two Oregonians, Moe and Dr O. F. Willing, were on the 193C Walker Cup team,

small ammunition, 155 howitzers and other equipment, was destroyed completely. |,
 The regimental colors were saved by Capt Walter Edelman, adJutant of the 3rd Battalion.
 The fire was the most spectacular in Buffalo in years. All but two en- zine companies and two trucks an- swered the four alarms and the se- ries of telephone calls which Deputy Fire Commissioner William R. Cas- timore used> as substitute for a fifth alarm.
 Because state law forbids every engine to be called into service on one fire in a city of first class, the neighboring towns of Cheektowaga, Lackawanna, and Kenmore were asked to hold their fire apparatus in readiness for emergency calls. That step was taken when Deputy Casti- more feared for a time the fire would spread to the entire Masten Hill section.
 The fire was discovered by John D. Marvin, a fireman, who was drill- ing with the minute men of Troop i post. He turned in the first alarm, and attempted unsuccessfully to reach the blaze, which then was con- fined to the armory basement.
 Doors to the basement were locked, Marvin said and when the first fire engine arrived, it was nec- essary to tear up the floor to put hose to the flames. Bremen were unable to enter the basement be- cause of the dense smoke and in- tense heat.
 The armory. four-story structure. with battleworks like a medieval castle, was situated on one of the highest points in Buffalo, and after the roof caved in shortly after mid

SINGLE CLAIMS HE'LL MAKE WATERBURY DRY
NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS PROROCUED
 LEGISLATURE
Longest Session in IS Years, Having Lasted 4 Months - Many Import ant Laws

Concord, N. H., May 7-CUP)- The longest biennial session of the New Hampshire legislature in IS years-lasting about four months was prorogued to-day.
 Much important legislation twas enacted during the session.
 A law allowing the individual communities to modify existing blue laws to permit Sunday sports and amusemepts was passed. Public dancing, horse racing and prize fighting on the sabbath are still un- der general prohibition, however.
 The only direct unemployment re- lief measure adopted was creation of an emergency fund for needy mothers. But to extend it's highway improvement program the general court increased by $300,000 a year the state aypport .onment to com munities for road maintenance. And the expenditure of more than $3OO,- 900 annually on Especial" highway projects was authorized.
 The biggest single expenditure au- thorized was $1,250,000 for bridge across scenic Great Bay in Rocking ham county, connecting Durham and Dover with Newington and Ports- mouth.
 Highway safety measures were given serious consideration by the legislators. They provided for com pulsory annual inspection of auto- mobiles and increased the penalty for attempting" to operate motor vehicle while under the influence of liuuor.

WOMAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY NOW
 HELD IN CANADA
Mrs Emma Dent Uhler TOss- ed From One to the Other and Awaits Final De- CiSiOn

London, Ontario, May 2 - (UPl - Mrs Emma Dent Uhler, mother of a 5-months-old baby, remained at the home of a brother here to- day and faced the possibility of be- ing virtually a woman without g country.
 Mrs Uhler, of Canadian birth was sent here by American immi- grafton officers who halted her when she attempted to enter the United States at Detroit last Friday with her American-born husband, her baby, and her mother-in-law.
 Likewise, Canadian immigration officers, the brother said, informed her when she returned to the Ca nadian side that she had lost her Canadian citizenship by virtue of her marriage to an American. Neverthe- less, they allowed her to come here to her brother with her baby, after first telling her that the baby should be sent back to the United States, he said.
 Mrs Uhler, whose husband is A. S. Uhler of Endicott, N. Y., said she met him two years ago when she visited a brother in Endicott and became ill, necessitating her re- maining in a hospital there five months.
 After she recovered, she and Uhler's mother, came here for a mained in Endicott with her hus- band. A few days ago, she said, the Uhlers, with their baby and Uhler's mother, came her for a visit, and then started for five weeks motor trip to visit relatives in Victoria, B. C.. planning to drive chiefly through American territory.
 "When we reached Detroit" Mrs Uhler said, "I was questioned, and told the immigration officers was a Canadian girl, married to an Amer ican.
 'TEey took me into the immigra- ton room, and questioned me close ly for four hours. They told my mother-in-law and my husband to continue their trip, while I was or dered to return to Canada with my baby
 "The Canadian officers also told me I had lost Canadian citizenship because of my marriage, and would have to send the baby. since 1t was born in the United States, to my husband. My heart sank, and I pleaded with them. Finally they consented to let me bring my baby here with me-"
 Mrs Uhler said she planned to go to Victoria where she hoped to re- join her husband, and if Canadian authorities will permit it, she said they would live in Canada.

torney Thomas F. Moore, secretary. The clubs committee consisted of President William Kelly, Mrs Henry A. Hayden, Senator Joseph H. Law Tor, William Sturges, Joseph Grimes.
 The location of the building has not yet been decided but it is ex- pected that the best site would be between the home plate of the base ball diamond and Sylvan avenue, since the club plans to utilize the ball field as skating rink in the winter time.
 The building will be a two or two and half story wooden and field stone structure. It will be of super structure design, the lower story be- ing constructed with wing effect in order to provide for bowling alleys and comfort stations. The upper story will probably be about 40 by 60 feet and will include a spacious hall with gymnasium equipment in or indoor games. Card parties, dances meetings and shows may be held in the hall whcih will also have a stage erected at one end.
 On the ground floor, which will also be the basement, two, or four, bowling alleys, shelter, athletic dress ing rooms, showers, rooms for the convenience of skaters and comfort stations will be outlaid.
 It is planned to have the ground floor of probably field stone con struction and the upper floor of wooden construction.
 The Washington Park Community club has been agitating for a com munity house, such as that in Full ton Park, for long number of years. The club at present holds it's meetings in Mulcahy school but is required to stage it's social func- tions in rented halls.
 The clubs committee increased its efforts with the advent of the new administration and with the splen- did cooperation of Mayor Frank Hayes and the board of park com was successful in secur- ing rassage of bill by the state in which the city was per- mitted to pass a S4O,000 bond issue for the construction of a suitable house.
 Club members are very enthusi- astic over the possibilities of the building paying for itself. It is ex- pected that the revenue from the building and its various facilities will make the project not only self SUD- porting but will, over a period of years, pay off the bond issue.
 In considering the location of the building the committees lean toward the site between home plate and Sylvan avenue. They point out this location will make the building &C., cessible and visible and vet far enough back from the avenue.

 Autos Are Dead

late yesterday afternoon. Miss Goodwin was hurled through the windshield of the car, but Kenney caught in the wreckage of his se- dan and the big truck was rescued after an hours strenuous work in which firemen, policemen, and vol unteers labored feverishly to extri- cate him.
 X-rays of the injuries of both Miss Goodwin and Kenney were talk en to-day. Both spent fairly com fortable nights and it is not believed at present that either one is very seriously injured. The young lady was painfully injured about the face and head, suffering possibly a frac- tured nose. There is no indication of fractures in Kenney's case, but in view of the fact oil and grease flowed down on him as he lay helplessly entangled in the wreck age, attending physicians are alert for possible infection.
 Traffic was halted for sometime on the Naugatuck highway. The Rubber borough police prevented a serious congestion by re-routing some of the traffic through Middle bury.
 Miss Goodwin is secretary or the Laube Motors Inc. kenney called at the office of the company for her yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock to drive her home. It is a peculiar incident that the truck with which their sedan collided is also owned by the Laube Motors, Inc and was in charge of Rocco Neo of 39 Webb street and his helper, Leo Ubaldi. Naugatuck.
 The crash took place on straight stretch of the highway, a fact that is puzzling to the police in determin- ing the cause. The force of the impact caused the sedan to crumple up. The truck veering to one side crashed into the heavy cable. which the state department used instead of planation why the big machine didn't. topple over a 30-foot embank- ment onto to the Connecticut com- pany's right of way 30 feet below.
 4 passing autoist picked Miss Goodwin up and rushed her to St Mary's hospital. Kenney, however. was trapped. He was pinned in such a manner that he could move only his head. He retained con- seriousness and showed remarkable grit, while scores of workmen toiled to release him. Doctors chat ted with Kenney and at one june ture to relieve pain administered an opiate. When finally released the young man was placed in Water bury hospital ambulance and rushed to that institution.
 Hundreds passing the scene stopped to view the work of rescue.
 In the Bridgeport tragedy the Creevy girl was on her way home from school when struck by the Waterbury truck owned by the In- terstate Transportation company of this city Adams claimed that the child ran into the path of his ma chine. Pending an investigation of the tragedy by Coroner John J. Phelan, Adams is being held under bonds of $1,O0O on the charge of causing death by careless operation of motor vehicle.
 The Romponi lad was injured by car driven by Neal Mantino of Oakville. He suffered decorations about the face and head. Meningi- tis developed and death resulted last evening. A coroners investigation will be held to determine responsi- bility.
