State Motor Vehicle Dept. Warns Against PeriIs of
 This Practice to Children During Winter

Hartford, January IT, A situa- tion so fraught with serious dam ger to a considerable number of Connecticut children that a spe- cial warning would seem appro. priate, is that created by a prac- tice in several sections of the state for youngsters to hitch-hike on automobiles with sleds, skates. scooters, skis and coasters, says the Department of Motor Vehicles in a bulletin today.
 Anything that takes pedestrians into the middle of the road in traf- fife is dangerous" CommissionsI Robbins B. Stoeckel said in con. nection with recent complaint inspired by an act of this kind. A narrow escape for several children was the occasion for the letter ask ing the commissioners assistance in the matter.
 The participation by motor vehi cle operators in an event of this character is clearly a close ap' proach to an exhibition of careless ness which could not have the ap- prova! of those interested in the safety of children.
 In the old days when old Dob- bin trotted along in what amount ed to practically undisputed pos- session of the highways, the motor vehicle having then not come up' on the scene. at least not for oper' ation in the winter snows. the habit of youngsters in hitching rides with sleds or carts behind wagons and sleighS was consider

Washington-Jan 10As the cli- max to a year marked by a whole- sale shattering of land speed rec ords, Bob Carey, comparative newcomer to official racing, has been awerded the coveted A,A.A. championship for 1892, according to an announcement made today by the contest board of the Ameri- can Automobile Association.
 The governing body of racing said that Carey, who halls from Anderson, Ind, piled up 815 cham pionship points and displaced Fred Frame, who ranked second, by a spectacular win in the final race of the year at Okland, Calf. Frame winner of the Indianapolis classic. finished the year with 710 points. Howdy Wilcox. the youngest of the leading drivers, won 610 points. He was trailed by Russell Snow berger with 440 points and Will liam Cummings who garnered 430. Simultaneous with the annaunce- ment of tho 1892 racing cham- pion. the A.A.A. contest board al- so announced the suspensions ot the veteran Ralph DePalma for participation in uncanctioned rec. ord attempts, and B. Ward Bear of Chicago and Toledo, and Jo. seph E. Smith of Cleveland, rae ing promoters. Beam and Smith the latter a former contect boart official, were suspended for hand ling unsanctioned events and fail ing to adhere to A.A.A. standards
 Summarizing the events in tn, world of speed during tho veal just closed, the botrd said that fl addition to the close race for tho championship, the 12 months were featured by many developments that served to give racing Q new foothold.

Comparative Newcomer to Official Auto Racing Piled
 Up SIS Points Displacing Fred Frame

Outstanding of these, of course, was the world land speed record tablished at Daytona Beach, Fla. by Sir Malcom Campbell, who att tained a speed of 253.06S miles an hour--an increase of 7.S7S miles over his mark of 1031. This event seemed to set the pace for the year and before the curtain was finally drawn there were estab- lished q new track record at In- pianapolis; new dirt track records from one to one hundred miles; a new record for the terrific climb up Pike's Peak and a new world record for four-cylinder cars.
 "In addition, the year also wit messed the entry of streamline de- signs for the first time into the regular racing field; a more inten- sive challenge from cars of stock derivation to the purely speed creations, and a new standard of economy for car operation under the strain of competition.
 "All this means that there Is ample preceden for the belief that 1888 will be an even bigger year not only in the field of official rae. ing, but also in stock mar trials and tests and new attempts fol world speed records.'

DOCTOR MANCINI
 DIED YESTERDAY
Prominent Physician Suc- Cumbed At His Home
 After Brief Illness
HAD LARGE PRACTICE

Dr Gerard c. Mangini died yes- terday afternoon at his home. 36 Park Place, after a brief illness with pneumonia. The news of his death was received with much re- gret by wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Dr Mangini was born in this city fifty-two years ago. In 1892 he went to Italy where he attended grammar and high schools in Avelino and later attended the University of Naples where he was graduated with hon. ors. After his graduation from the University he returned to this country and served for a time al the Lying-In hospital and took a post graduate course in the New York Post Graduate Medical school
 Tn 1908 he was admitted to the practice of medicine and surgery in Connecticut and had practiced here since that time. He had a wide acquaintance and was held in high esteem by his associates in the profession. and enjoyed large practice. He took an active inter est in public affairs. He was one of the founders of the Unico club and one of the active members of the Republican club. Dr Mangini made two or three trips to Europe during which he took special courses in his profession at Paris and other places. He was widely known among those interested in charity and could always be de- pended to lend hand in aiding any good work brought to his at tention.
 Dr Mangini is survived by three brothers, Atty Humbert, Frederick and Ernest Mangini, all of this city; three sisters, Mrs Mary Gala bro and Miss Camilla Mangini of this city and Mrs John A. Furanna of Milford. The funeral will be held Friday at 8:15 o'clock from the home to Our Lady of Lourdes church at 9 o'clock where a solemn high mass of requiem will be cele. brated. Burial will be in family plot in old St Joseph's cemetery Friends are asked to omit flowers

, was available for this purpose. -' There were 4,546 annual mem. berships at $1, fifty-five contribut- ing memberships sending in $275. twenty-four sustaining member- ships, sending in $240, nine sup porting memberships. accounting for $225 and seven special contri- buttons involving $335. There were also $156.42 contributions of less than $1 each.
 The failure of Waterbury to reach it's quota, however, does not come as surprise to the local and national officials because of the existing depression. This Is shown in letter to John M. Burrall. chairman of the local Red Cross chapter from John Barton Payne. national chairman. The letter is as follows:
 According to present estimates our roll call will fall below four million for the first time in six years. Never was there time when it was more essential to hold the Red Cross membership. and l am confident it can be done. r
 "In every community there are men and women who, for one req son or another, are not now en- rolled but who would respond to q personal appeal. A small increase by each chapter above it's present estimate will mean success. .@
 q am asking that during Jan uary the members of your exec utive committee enroll a minimum of 100 members, in addition to those already enrolled. Similar action by each of our $500 chap- ters is being urged, and is neces- sary if the indispensable service of the Red Cross is to be maintained. Please write me whether you will undertake the service.
 May l take this opportunity to express our deepest appreciation or the unselfsh, tireless work Of the chapter officers in this emergency. At this season you have the satis- faction which comes from having helped bring some measure 'of peace and comfort to millions Of your fellowmen."
 It was pointed out to-day by Mrs Edith Ladd of the local chapter that if there is anyone who was not called upon during the roll call because of lack of workers they can still enroll by sending their $l membership fee into the local Red Cross headquarters.

S1.The old mill wheel is steadily
churning wheat professors back
to a new prosperity in South
Dakota.
Despite climbing wheat prices.
farmers are bartering much Of
their wheat for flour direct from
the mill.
This trade saves the farmer a
one per cent gross income tax
and the miller doesn't have to pay
the 30-cents-a-bushel processing
tax affixed under the wheat al
lotnlent act.
With flour prices on the up
swing, these tax exemptions save
the wheat grower TO- to 80 cents
for every 100 pounds of flour

With this influx of new bust
