L. M. VINCENT GIVES
 INTERESTING TALK
 ON GEO. WASHINGTON

George Washington" was the subject of MT. L. M. Vincent's talk before the PIT. A last night MT. Vincent said that there are three written types of courses: 1.-The National hero type in which the King can do no wrong; 2.-Dry fact type with no interpretation at all and, 3.-Red letter typo which indulges in mud-Slinging and sersationalism.
 Some years ago. according to MT. Vincent, Congress ordered the col lection of all writings, correspond ence and diaries of Washington. The committee cut out everything derogatory to Washington's life, so the story is half complete and Washington remains a great Ma tional hero. The greatest compli- ment that can be paid to Washing ton is that the sensation writers cannot say things unpleasant about him and make their statements stick.
 Facts On Life
 In the course of his talk, MT Vincent gave an account of the outstanding facts in the life ol Washington. Very little is knowr of his boyhood although it is be lieved that he was very athletic and a leader in boyhood sports Contrary to popular belief Wash ington did not inherit his money

Breaks a Precedent

King of Utah was talking about the alien seamsn bill Senator Huey's" third day in the Senate. The self-styled "Kingfish" was a bit more eager and restless perhaps than usual.
 At any rate, breaking some sort of a precedent for freshmen Sen ators, he jumped to his feet and interrupted King
 Now the Utah Senator is rath- CT tolerant sort of fellow-has usually a genial smile and a benign attitude. But it looked as if he was a bit surprised if not a little im- patient with Long interrupting him in such fashion. Nevertheless, he yielded to "Hueyp in a pleasant sort of way and gave polite an- swer to his question.
 King probably thought the Hon "Huey" was through, but he reck- onsd not with the Long manner for he was interrupted again. Joe Robinson asked a question about the same time, however, and King ignored Long.
 But as soon as Robinson wa: through, @Huey" broke through with another question. l It was easy to see that King! patience was being tried. Yet ht heard and answered Long again But the "Kingfish" was not ye through

STEVE HAMAS.
 BIG FAvORITE
Prize Fighter Now Sought as Drawing Rooms
 Attraction

NEW YORK, March 2.-Broad- ways newest excitement is Steve Hamas, who knocked out Tommy Loughran. But here's the interest ing thing:
 The Pennsylvania State graduate Ihas attached the high hat ring fol- lowing once held by Gene Tunney.
 Fine gentlemen and their ladies who have a weakness for pugilistic thrills are eyeing Hamas asa possi- ble drawing room attraction. They are the ones who not only delighted in Tunney, but gave Georges Car pentier a big play when the orchida- ceous Frenchman's star was in the ascendancy
 They can understand Hamas when he speaks the polite language of a college football hero and young man ambitious to become 3 great surgeon-as worthy, if not quite so glamorous an ambition as
 to become Shakespearean scholar
 And the atavistic fondness of pal. lid men (and some frail women) fol brute force is satisfied by Hamas
 when his polish is rubbed off in ths
 ring. He's the killer type in action
 with 24 knockouts to his credit il 27 fights.
 Hamas' battles of the futur' promise to fill plenty of ringsid' seats with tall topper and ermin, coat wearers and to pack the opei air arenas of he survives the indoo season.
 But 2o-year- -old Mrs Han1as, nusi !, clan and golfer, offers MT. Hama | her charm and athletic poweress t protect him from the onslaughts o feminine admirers while he is try ing to put the tough Levinskys an SharkeyS on the floor.

Hartford, Dec 22-The motor vehicle operator who drives 50 miles an hour at night, with his only view of objects which he is approaching furnished by head lights which probe the darkness 200 feet ahead, Is driving into q blind spot and danger. That Is, he Is proceeding so fast that there is not time, in the three seconds dur ing which he will traverse the 200 feet, to make any necessary change emergency conditions, says Rob- bins B. Stoeckel, commissioner of motor vehicles in g. bulletin, to- day.
 "There are few cases nowadays of insufficient light except where the operator of car deliberately drives at a speed 50 great he can- not be prepared for unusual sit nations which may appear just beyond the illuminated distance" the commissioner adds. Prob ably, too, the distance which the mentality of an operator takes into account differs with each operat- or, but at, night the distance is measured for him by the amount of light he has.
 "One of the main difficulties en- countered in connection with disci- pline of operators on the basis of unfitness Is tendency among nighttime drivers to out-drlve the lights. illumination of the high way by the headlights of a car Is, as is now 6 well-known principle, necessarily limited and that fig usually accomplished by law. The man who Is driving must have light enough so that he can see Q reasonable distance ahead of his car and enough out to each side so that he may discern objects on the shoulders and sidesl of the road.
 'It seems, from a critical anal ysls of performance of the past. as though light manufacturers might well increase the spread of the light from the motor vehicle lamps and that stronger illumination

might be thrown sidewise. In fact there seems to be no good reason why the angle of light which Is given from 6 headlamp should not spread as far to each side as light Is thrown ahead. To do this might avoid many difficult driving sit- uations which put pedestrians and other users of the highway into peril, but that Is q matter for fu- ture legislation.
 Headlights, as now provided, throw off ample illumination to the sides of the road to conform to the existing law and the whole head light development is, even though as yet imperfect for the use to which it is put, the product of the very best and most scientific thought obtainab1e on the subject"

YMCA BOYS DEPT
 DOING GOOD WORK
Sending Gifts to Many Needy Families in Dif-
 ferent Parts of City
MANY DONATING MONEY

Bundles, Christmas paper, smil- ing faces of boy giyers are indica- tions at the boys department of the YMCA that Christmas Is here and all of the boy members are bringing their gifts for poor fam files in the city.
 Clubs of boys have carefully planned and allotted to members food stuffs. canned goods, veget- ables. coffee, sugar, etc, to be mems clubs are donating money to purchase roasts. These boxes of Christmas cheer will be distributed tomorrow to fifty families.
 The following clubs of the boys department are making contribu- tions for the baskets; Psi us, Un- knowns, Crosby lily, Y-Pioneers, Driggs Gra-Y, Columbia Gra-Y, Croft Grd-Y, Valley Stamp Club, Kappa Deltas, Phyglans, Fo-Chars, Tri-Y, Etta Bettas, Comitias, Fear Ole, Y Emeralds, Chase-Y, the Al gonquins, the Sioux and the Chey- ennes and the Rocknes.
 The young mems clubs which contributed in cash are as follows: the Cardinals, Beau Brummels, Y- Not, Square Circle, Utopians, Bona Doms, Sigma. Rho, Kenoshas, Zi Theta Pi, Cwoans, Magua.
 The Christmas spirit is also be- ing shown by the boys of the Y as they bring their contributions of nickles and dimes for the work of the YMCA in Turkey. The Y Is now operating in 53 countries. This work in foreign countries must largely be supported by American money because the cit izens of those countries must be convinced as to the worth of the program and the need for 1t before contributions toward its support.
 Fifty thousand boys throughout the country are contributing their mite that boys work in other countries may be successful. Con- necticut boys are sending $35O at Christmas time for the work of MT Baker. the American Y secretary in Turkey. The Waterbury boys department has quota of $50. Campers this past summer sub- scribed $12.75. The final collec- ton is being made now and to-day the boys are bringing in their money. This offers YMCA boys department members two oppor- tunities to exemplify the Christmas spirit by doing something for someone else.
 Crosby Hi-Y club leads the list of contributors to this boys work in Turkey. They have pledged $500 for the club. The three 1n- dian tribes have made up Q pledge of $500. Other clubs and individ- ual boys have already sent In pledges and all final payments are to be made to-day.
