pavement. This condition is not only costly to repair, but is also likely to be the direct cause of motor vehicle accidents.
 There is great danger in the burning of dead leaves and brush on or near freshly oiled shoulders or dirt roads, since the oil may readily ignite and spread the blaze over a large area, .inf1icting serious damage to build ngs along the road.
 As far as possible, Commissioner Macdonald advises, the burning of leaves and rubbish should be done on ones own property and even then should not be attempted eX- cept in calm weather and unless someone is on hand to watch over the fire until it has completely died out. All bonfires should be eXtin- guished beyond any point of doubt with water or sand, thus prevent ing any danger of a later outbreak.
 Throughout the summer, the highway department has been talk ing precautions against the fall months with their falling leaves and dying vegetation. The shoul- ders along every highway right of way have been cleared to the greatest extent possible by cutting down all underbrush and removing debris of all descriptions. This af- lords considerable protection against outbreaks of fire, but it is obviously impossible for the high way crews to keep pace with the falling leaves. Cooperation on the part of the public, however, will avert damage from this source, the commissioner declares.

The fact that the Sunday night features at the Casino ballroom, Lake Com bounce, Bristol, are prov ing more and more popular, is shown by the steady increase in the crowd that come to enjoy the exceptionally fine music and en- tertainment furnished by the var ious name bands appearing at the resort each week.

Warns Of Forest
 Fires On Highways
Fallen Leaves on Shoulders Finder for Lighted Butts
 Commissioner Declares

With trees along the highways in all parts of Connecticut starting to shed their leaves, Highway Com missioner John A. Macdonald to- day made two requests of the pub lie of Connecticut: One to motor ists, urging them to use extreme care about throwing cigarettes and cigars on the highway shoulders; and one to property owners, warn ing both against leaving bonfires of leaves unprotected and against building bonfires on the highway pavements.
 Fallen leaves become first class finder which is readily ignited when a lighted cigar or cigarette butt comes into contact with it and once a fire is started it may quick ly lead to a conflagration that will destroy hundreds of acres of valu- able forest. Motorists using Con- necticut highways can materially aid in preventing the outbreak of costly forest fires and the destruc- tion of property by making certain that their smoking materials have been completely extinguished be- fore tossing them from their cars.
 Property owners are in a posi- tion to save their state money in the repair of highway pavement by refraining from building bonf1res of leaves or other materials on the pavements. This is especially true of the numerous bituminous pave ments. since bonfires built upon them cause oxidation of the mate rial used in their construction and fc n integration and crumbling or the

Cream O Stae Arateur Talent At Rhoenix Arena logt
THREE O-ROUND
 BOUTSTOP ARENA SHOW FRIDAY EVE
BOrOs Meets Carlo and Cos cOa Kid Faces Patsy Rnbinetti

New Haven, Dec 1--Members of the main stem and Culifiower Alley were busy last night picking win ners' for Matchmaker Lew Browns professional boxing show to-mor- row night at the Arena. Dope sheets and indivdua1 records were compared and the so-called bunch es were used, but 1t was all evi- dence of the equality of each of the opponents in the bouts. There will be three star eight round at- fractions and to supplement the program there will be two four rounderg.
 Al Boroas the Bridgeport Hun garian heavyweight slugger, has won all his bouts by the knockout route with the exception of his eil- counter with Joe Banovic in which he lost a one point decision. Among his 22 knockout victims are Long Tom Williams, owen Flynn, Danny Began, Ed Kelley and Arty Roden- bacher.
 Hard Hitter
 His opponent for tomorrow night is Frankie Carlo, the Boston punch dispensing sensation. Like Boross. Carlo has won most of his fisticuff battles via K. O.'s. Such formidable opponents as Henry Surett of Bos- ton and Joe Barlow, also of the Hub City, have fallen to the cam vas for knockouts because of Carlos unusual hitting powers. This bout promises to be real slugfest as both boys are willing siuggers and pride themselves as being good "take-iters."
 In the second eight round star attraction Cocaa Kid, Connecticuts leading lightweight contender meets Patsy Rubinetti, the Brook lyn Italian brilliant. Since last April Cocoa Kid has participated in twenty fights and has sprinkled his slate with a goodly number Of knockouts. His wins include Tom my Jarrett, If the Elm City on three occasions, Baby Bear, Baby Jack Renault of Boston, Joe Mill Ter, Pete Herman and Eddie Con- ley of DanlAiry.
 Good Boy
 Patsy Hubinetti boasts of 32 straight victories--an exceptionally fine record. This past week one of New York's prominent sport scribes paid Rubinetti great compliment by liSting him as one of the five leading lightweights in and about the Metropolitan City.
