Indianapolis Races
 To Be Held May 30
Changes in Car Specifications Means Safer COmpef-
 ton This Year-AutO Hazards Removed

Washington, D. C., Jan 1S.- Safer competition and newer fields of engineering achievement are an- ticipated on the nations speedways this year, beginning with the fa- nous Indianapolis classic, May 30th, as a result of. changes in race car specifications approved by the contest board of the American Au- tomobile association.
 At it's annual meeting in New York the contest board, governing body of the speedway sport in the United States, took steps to elim- mate every possible hazard from automobile racing. The first act was to cut the starting field at In- dianapolis to thirty-three (33) cars from the previous forty-two (42) entrants. Because of the new record speeds predicted for the coming Hoosier race, the board de- sired to eliminate as much "traf- fic" as possible.
 Decreeing that each car starting the 500 mile grind would be al- lowed to consume not more than forty-fve (45) gallons of gasoline, engineers affiliated with the contest board looked to new gasoline com binations of value to the motoring public. Since no driver has ever been known to finish the 500 miles with such a limited gasoline sup ply, 1t is certain that fuel with a greater mileage content will be de- veloped. The same is expected in the oil industry as result of the limit of six (6) gallons and two CD quarts of lubricant.
 Receiving the official report that this years Indianapolis race would offer $1O0,000 in prizes. an increase over 1893 awards. members of the contest board looked enthusiastically to 1894 as "one of the greatest

SCOTT EXPAINS
 TASTES OF WATER
State Engineering Director Describes Elimination of
 Objectionable Matter

Remedies for treating tastes and odors in water coming from public supplies may be relatively simple or may involve large expense, 1t was explained by Warren J. Scott, director of the bureau of sanitary engineering of the state department of realth, in the departments s weekly broadcast today.
 Harmless organic matter in the leaves and other vegetation wash cd into water supply streams and reservoirs may impart objection able color as well as q swampy or earthly taste and odor to the wa ter" MT Scott said. Decay of such material on reservoir bottoms uses up oxygen an the lower water strata may develop an objection this condition spreads to the upper layers from which water IS furn- ished to the public supply. Sheets of ice forming on reservoirs have been known to result in objec- tionable conditions due to lack of oxygen.
 ''Remedies for such conditions may be relatively simple or may involve large expense. Cutting holes in the ice covers of reser- voirs, shifting the level of water supply intake, or changing from one resercoir to another where more than one supply Is available, are among some of the simpler remedies. Where q supply contin- ually bives trouble, 1t may event. ually be desirable 10 install area tion, filtration and possibly chem ical treatment to produce a palat- able water. Such remedies may be expensive and must be met out Of operating revenue.
 Consumers on dead end pipe lines where there is normally little circulation of water may at times get water of poor physical quality duo to accumulation of growths and sediment in the pipes. Fro quent blowing off of hydrants may improve conditions where pipes cannot be joined up to better the 
 "Growths of tiny microscopical plants and animals fiourishing In reservoirs may flavor tho water woth q variety of characteristic tastes, sometimes flshy, bitter or sweet, depending on the type of growth. These ,groWthS may usu- ally be controlled by applying cuo-- per sulphate to the reservoir water.
 with the widespread use of chlorine in disinfection of public water supplies, better control of the chemical dosage has resulted in doing away with most com plaints of chlorine odors and tastes in water. Sometimes however, the odors and combines with other substances in the water to produce objectionable odors and tastes.
 "Uunusual happenings sometimes occur to produce objectionable tastes and odors in our public wa ter supplies. In few instances in paint on water stand pipes of mains has caused tenn objectionable conditions. Road oil washed in water supply streams has been another cause of odor and taste trouble

 CWA Positions Here
322 of 400 on Registration Rolls Have Been Given
 Employment CCC Recruits Sent to Camp

Out of 400 ex-servicemen so far taken care of in Waterbury by the CWA, there are 78 yet to be giv- en employment. Therefore, the 50 extra veterans requisitioned for yesterday by Administrator Will liam M. Harris from Director Arr thur Maloney to i'll additional CWA positions are not sufficient to care for the number of former soldiers seeking employment under this branch of the federal em. ployment plan.
 There were, in all, over 400 ex- servicemen on the CWA registra- ton rolls. Approximately 322 have been taken care of, leaving an esti- mated 7S balance yet to be given employment.
 This morning from the office of Administrator Harris twelve CCC recruits left to take up duties at the Torrington camp. The twelve new recruits represented recruits. As vacancies occur the Waterbury quota will be kept filled, 1t was stated, by taking a similar number from the waiting list.
 Administrator Harris today cor rected statement in the morning paper to the effect that the Mutual Aid will pay charge of $1.75 per ton, for delivery of coal. The charge Is $1.75 per half ton. It

Ice Polo Game Is
 Billed For Carnival
Local Trick Skaters Also Will Be Seen in Action at
 Democrat Championship Sunday

Two more big features have been added to the already great program of The Democrats Muni- cipal Skating Championships at Hamilton Park Sunday. Two teams of old-timers will play in an ice polo game, a sport which was once highly popular in this part of the country. In addition. sev- eral local trick skaters will give an exhibition of barrel jumping.
 These new additions to the pro- gram make the event more attrac- tive than ever. and should help in crease the size of the expected large crowd. Entries continue to pour in for the races, as it's only another day until entries will be closed.
 A glance at the names of some of the players to take part in the polo game will convince even the most doubting that it'll be lots of The teams will be made up of such men as Leaman Harvey, Luke Errlco, Pete Larson, Charlie Eankey, Joe and George Langlois, Walter Kelly, Bill Coss, George Duggan, Hinky Thompson and George Shove.

JEWELRY WORKERS MET IN MOOSE HALL
Made Protest Against Code of Waterbury Clock
 Co Association

The legality of the Employees Protective association of the Wa terbury Clock company was ques- tioned, the proposed code of the clock industry criticized and dele gates chosen to voice a protest to it's formal adoption by the govern ment at a meeting last evening in Moose hall of the Waterbury local of the International Jewelry Work CTS.
 The present employees assocla- tion, referred to as company's union by the speakers, was formed without the supervision of the na- tional labor boards. It Is the national board of arbitration's de- cision that no company union is legal or authorized to represent the employees in collective bargain ing unless elections are supervised by either the national or regional labor board. In recent com munication to the papers the ex- ecutive committee of the employees association denied that they exist as a company's union, but from all indications the local of the Jew elTy WOThcTb WILL IildlhItlm LHdI should be classified as company sponsored organization.
 The hearing on the code for clock manufacturers will be held In Washington, D. C., on January 24. The delegates chosen to represent Waterbury in the protest are Fred Nardi, Joseph Nardi, Mrs George Pelletier, Morris Cohen and A. J.. Hinkleman, president of the local union.
 The proposed code was explained and criticized by Samuel Beardsley, secretary-treasurer of the Interna- tional association, who was the principal speaker of the evening. Mir Hinkleman made statement during the meeting that the Water bury Clock company is taking ad- vantage of the differential in the code between male and female em- ployes in respect to wages. The company Is hiring back its women employees at lower wages and the recent shutdown was inspired so that the company would be able to dispense with the services Of It's male help and benefit by the labor Of the women. A complaint to this effect Is to be filed with the re- glonal and national labor board, it was stated last evening.

POON TUCK WING RESTS ONE WEEK
 ON WORLD TRIP
Chinaman GOe s 22,OOO Miles - Seven of His
 Comrades Gave Up

New York, Jan 1S.-(UP)-Poon Tuck Ming. opining that 22.00O miles is quite trip to make on foot and bicycle, decided today to have 8 weeks rest before begin- ming his long journey home to China.
 In no particular hurry to get back to Shanghai, which he left four years ago, Poon declared his Itinerary would take him first to Chicago, then to Central and South America. His round-the-w world trip would end, he expected, just about the time he celebrated his 27th birthday in 1887.
 Armed only with a slim scrap brook which became bulkier with each country visited, Poon left his home for South China with seven companions in 1890. Six months later all of his companions, includ- ing three girls, had turned back. So Poon continued on alone and found something of interest in each country. He acquired his bicycle in Siam and nearly killed himself while riding along a narrow ledge. In India he visited Mahatma Gandhi and the poet, Tagore, and slept in trees to keep out of the reach of tigers.
 Poon walked through a 400 mile Syrian desert, and remembered Norway as the place he purchased a knapsack. In London he found a Chinese organization willing to pay his fare to America on the Eu- ropa.
 People who were interested in his purpose" contributed to the world jaunt, which Poon estimated to have cost $4,000.
 "The object of my adventure" |" the young Chinaman inscribed in the fyleaf of his scrapbook, "is to see the world, taking the universe as my school, the people and cus- toms as my textbook, the phenom- enal changes as my teacher and nature as my inspiration"

DARING RESCUE OF THREE WOMEN
 AND Il OTHERS
Aboard Sinking Yacht When Tanker
 Rushed to Give Help

New York, Jan 1S.-iUP)-A graphic description of how three women were thrown from a sink ing schooner to the arms of sail ors in 6 rescuing lifeboat was giv- en to-day when 14 survivors of the yacht Ilamyth were brought ashore by the coast guard patrol boat Thetis.
 The Alamyth, on a cruise to the West Indies, found itself in diff culties at 6 a. m. yesterday, Capt Conklin related.
 A wintry gale on the North Att lantic had buffeted the boat until several seams were sprung. The boat began filling with water. Pumps were manned, but an hour of frantic work by all hands showed that the boat was doomed.
 The outlook for the II men and three women was dark until the oil tanker Gulfland was sighted. A cheer went up from the stricken boat.
 We made signs to the Gulfland as if we were bailing," Conklin said. "Then we brought the wo- men up, on the deck where they could see them and thre eof us each raised one arm to let them know we had three women.
 When the Gulfland started to send its boats over realized the sea avs worse than 1t appeared from our boat" Conklin said. "I wanted to say that Captain Cra- ven, master of the tanker, and his chief officer, Martin Tamick, are first class seamen. I've been around the sea 8 bit myself and I've read a lot about rescues but never saw or heard of a finer job of seamanship.
 "Tamick and his seven men held their boat within a few feet alongside and caught the women as we tossed them over. Mrs Conklin had nothing on but pa- jamas with q coat over them. Then the rest of us iumped for the boat"
