The keynote of good golf Is in gripping the club properly. There are three methods of gripping - the baseball grip where all fingers arc on the leather, the interlocking and the overlapping introduced by Harry Vardon. All three methods are used by stars. the most popu- lar being the last mentioned.
 Employing the Vardon grip one has q firmer sensation of gripping with the left hand and a lighter one with the right. The little fin ger of the right rcinforces the left hand by overlapping the index fin- ger of the left.
 Firmness Is necessary for com plete control of the club.

London. July 22- (UP)-First- class lawn tennis is more ex- pensive game than the small club players believe.
 It has been revealed that at the recent Wimbledon championship meeting nearly 5000 balls were used. Before being taken on to court, every ball is gauged and weighed. in order to insure per- lection. Under normal conditions six new balls are used for every set played, but in wet weather even more are allowed. as damp ness tends to rob the balls of their buoyancy, especially when played on grass courts. After their short life in first t-closs play, they are stacked away, to be sold cheaply to small clubs and mediocre play CTS.
 The provision of balls at tour naments Is the responsibility of the promoting authorities. but it sthe player who must find bat teries of rackets and numerous sets of white outfits. Packets en- joy comparatively short life, par tlcularly if the player is a hard hitter with a cannon-ball service.

A migratory eggplant appeared this

until discovered. Can it be that our

a ship without rudder-all wet. We
thought sure we had lost our head
man last week, when he left us to go
to Neppel, and shout of Joy went
up when he miraculously appeared la

look at that 300-pound sorter they
have over there and decided at once
| there was no place like home.
| Irvie sometimes has to use brute
force to get his packers to obey him.
He hurled q box of culls down the
rolls at Elsie Cords Wednesday, to get
her to move, but unfortunately the
box upset this side of Elsie and she
wouldn't even help him pick up the
apples.
Lottie had to hold her hand over
Danny's mouth the other day in order
to explain to him just why those two
boxes he had sent back were all right,
and when she got through with him,
Danny said he wasn't even sure his
name was Williams.
A lively feud developed the other
afternoon when some of the down.
stairs jokers blew quantities of cigar
smoke up into the packing department
through the pipe used for commune
cation between the two floors, and the
packers retaliated by pouring water
down the pipe They extinguished the
cigar smoke, but the fires of resent
ment must have been responsible for
the odor of burning rubber that filled
the room shortly after.

Local Moth Toll
 $2OO,OO Yearly
Estimated That Waterbury Homes Pay Tribute to ilie
 Tune of This Amount Annually

i the most damage is done. Ik every housewife were to make a regular practice of spraying for moths, many of the heartaches that now follow the loss of treasured household articles would be cline mated, the Foundation believes. For complete protection against moths the Foundation recommends three steps:
 All clothing, furs and fabrics to be stored should be we'll shaken out and thoroughly brushed. Special care should be taken to brush beneath the coat lapels and in the pockets, folds and creases. As moths seem to prefer sOiled garments and fabrics, washing or dry cleaning helps to discourage infestation. The next steps is to air these articles in the sunshine for day. Strong light destroys all forms of moth life. Finally. to make moth annihiliation ocmplete the garments as we'll as the walls, cracks and shelves of closets and interior of trunks, drawers and other containers, are sprayed with an effective moth spray. A good spray not only kills any moths which have been left after clean ing, shaking, brushing and airing but keeps away or kills any new moths that venture near. Spraying thoroughly into closets and con- tainers every two weeks gives com plete and continued protection.

the limelight of local Connecticut taxation situations, it was predict ed here to-day. Waterbury now oc- cupies the position of reducing it's tax rate while other Connecticut communities are reported fretting about having to make increases or leave the levies where they are at the present time with no attempt being made to reduce them,
 Mayor Rankin told the finance board of Hartford that that city is faced with decreased corporate tax receipts and mounting expendi- lures, particularly for the care of poor and unemployed persons.
 This same condition prevails in Waterbury but. nevertheless, t was pointed out to-day, Mayor Hayes succeeded in reducing the tax rate by curtailing expenses and induc- ing the city employees to cooperate by accepting temporary 10 per cent cut in pay. In Hartford Mayor Rankin assured his board that he frowns on salary increases. How ever, 1t is known that he will not take a 100 per cent stand against increases as Mayor Hayes did. Sev- eral increases are to be allowed in salaries.
 In all, Hartford faces an increase in its budget of about $1,5OO, ,000, rough figures now indicate. This is also a noticeable fact in view of the action of Mayor Hayes and his finance board in bringing the Wa terbury expenditures for 1892 be- low the level set up for the pres ent year,

CHARACTER EDUCATION
Subject of Address By Mrs
 Ruth White Cotton at Bunker Hill
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

The regular monthly meeting of the Bunker Hill Parent Teachers association was held "wednesday afternoon in the kindergarten room of the school. The meeting was called to order by Mrs Warren Robbins, president. The minutes of the last regular meeting and those of an executive board meet ing were read by Mrs Harold Bra man, secretary. Mrs James Brophy read the treasurer's report.
 Mrs A. s. Phillips read a report on the Mid-Year conference of the Parent Teachers association, which was held in New Haven at the Y. w. c. A., Nov 18th. One of the points brought out was that this state, for its wealth, does not have adequate college institutions for the number of pupils graduating. MT Gillies, chairman of education, said that there should be coopera- tion between the home and the school and that parents and teach CTS should see one another for real understanding, due to changed methods in teaching. There were Lldhy 1hbcLCSbAh6 SUCAhCA6 db bnC conference, among them Miss Ethel Roberts, speaking on Relig- ious education; Mrs Bolton, Dr Elizabeth Ingraham, Mrs Leslie Matthews, radio chairman, who announced that Dr Rodemacher is on the air every Thursday morning at 10 a. m. from station WICC at Bridgeport; Mrs Miller on Mental Hygiene; Mrs W. M. Tominson, chairman of music, Mrs Albert Smith, speaking on Student Aid; Mrs A. s. Phillips and Mrs Harry Carter were delegates to the Mid Year conference.
 At the Nov. meeting Mrs Louis Randall gave a report of state conference held in New Haven in October. One of the prominent features was the report of the state officers, and the discussion of plans for the coming year.
 Mrs Randall Is chairman of the membership committee. A novel membership drive has been started by dividing the membership list alphabetically, those whose names start with letters A to I, being called upper and to z the lower group, each member responsible for a new member, the winning team to be the guests at the an- nual picnic in June.

SAFETY DEVICES
 FOR MOTORISTS
One Waves Like Donkey's Ears and Is Illuminated
 at Night
OTHER A WHEEL GUIDE

Two new safety devices whicf might contribute to better auto. mobile driving by providing greater accuracy and efficiency have beer submitted to the Connecticut de. partment of motor vehicles fol inspection, according to announce. ment from the department.
 One is & mechanical signal at. tached to both sides of the upper rear of the body of the car and ar. ranged so that on the pressing o1 button or release of a connec- tion, a red finger of attractive de- sign can be made to show which turn-right or left, the driver of the car is intending to take. Also through some ingenious contrivanct connected with it's mechanics, it is made to wave up and down, creat- ing a general impression described by an onlooker as almost exactly resembling 8 donkey's ears in ac- tion. The contrivance is illuminated for night driving.
 "The primary utility of this de. vice" says Commissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel, depends upon a men-
 
 of interest to the operator. Even humor appears in it's use and where observation has been made of the affectiveness of this signal. it has been noted that the operator, be- more carefully in the mirror than Is in hopes, apparently, that some- n1A f4 1,h can give the signal. This is a most desirable frame of mind for an op- orator to be in and the device. with which it gives the signals, is lation of the mentality of the man who is operating the car.
 "The other accessory recently Hector with a little curve, adapted held in by the tire. It rotates, of three of them on a wheel show the car by reflection of the light.
 'It is hard to tell how many col lisions there are at night which are caused by one car running into the other head on because of the fact that the wheel positions and mud guards are not we'll defined. Prob ably there aren't very many such collisions. for in observation it appears that at night time there is better clearance then in the day as each operator is less sure of himself under night time conditions. Fog and rain and darkness, do have a deterrent effect on almost every individual. and make him more careful and less enthusiastic than he otherwise would be, but it can do no harm and probably would do considerable good to have driver know exactly the course of the wheels of an approaching car.
