team from John Winthrop Chess
club of New London 80. In the
"B" division team of the Water
bury Chess club was scheduled
to meet the Hartford Chess club
at Hartford, but the match was
not played.
In a statement TO the league,
w II. Warner, tournament di-
rector of the Waterbury Chess
club, asked that the "B" team Of
his club be withdrawn from league
competition, because he found 1t
impossible 10 assemble team.
This action was regretted by the
league officials, because for the
past two years the Waterbury
boys have had one of the finest
well balanced teams inNew Eng
land and could make very in
teresting match for a good many
class "a" teams in Connecticut,
on from seven to 10 boards.
Reviewing the match between
the Waterbury-Deep River teams,
we find the Waterbury aggrega-
ton includes only two Of the play
ers from last years star team,
namely, Bellome and Baker. Such
familiar names as Norman Lear,
Louis DeBlasio, Joe Sakalas, John
Perazella, A. Green and Pete
Spada have not been seen on this
team during the current season.
The club Is playing its schedule
with new men, attempting to train

Valley Club Of Holy Cross
to Gather Here
Next Week

The luncheon meeting the Naug-
atuck Valley Club Of Holy Cross
College, originally scheduled to
be held Saturday noon at the Hotel
Elton has been postponed to later
date, 1t was announced this week.
Owing to the fact that many Of.
ficers and members could not be
present this week, 1t was considered
advisable to hold 1t later.
Provided plans now being con-
sidered by the officers and commit
tee in charge of the luncheon ma
ture 1t is possible that the meeting
will be held on Saturday, December
10. Announcement to this effect
will probably be forthcoming the
first Of next week.
At the luncheon several import
ant matters are to be discussed, pri-
mary being the continuation Of the
Holy Cross Scholarship fund which
the local alumni group started last
spring and which 1t intends to
continue in an effort to offer an
annual scholarship to local high
school graduates.
A winter activity is also to be
planned by the club and officers are
hopeful that at the next meeting
some action may be taken on
launching plans for the annual
banquet which will take place late
in the spring.

Following the elections, the men,
bers discussed the current fight of
the association against inexperi-
enced plumbers attempting major
plumbing jobs. Simila.' difficulties
are being experienced by other trade
associations, including electricians
and carpenters.
Check Violations
It was remarked that plumbing
inspectors, employed by cities 10
check all plumbing installations
occasionally find instances in which
home owners or handy men, with
out experience in plumbing, attempt
to install fixtures with the result
that the entire installation is not
merely unprofessional In design,
but actually a menace to health.
An incident was recalled at the
meeting, Of home owner who re-
Gently installed the three bath
room fixtures without the use OF
a single trap or vent pipe for any
of the fixtures. AS result the room
was filled with foul air from the
sewer.
Prosecution
The incident is simply typical OF
what might happen to any inexper-
fenced person attempting to do
major plumbing work. Most cities,
including this, have a plumbing
code which demands all master
plumbers to take out permits from
the city plumbing inspection de-
partment. Several arrests have
been made here during the past
year, Of inexperienced persons at
tempting major plumbing operations
without the necessary permit.

NEW YORK. Oct. Smother
took up defense of daughter at
the murder trial of slight Eliza
beth Smith, 18, charged with kill
ing her newborn baby last April
by throwing it from the rooftop
of her home in the Bronx.
Aging Mrs. Mary Smith vowed
she knew nothing Of the unwed
girls condition until after 1t was
all over-the birth, the death, the
crowds in the street, and the
police search. Then, she testified
on the witness stand in Bronx
county court, she made a feeble
effort to keep her daughter from
arrest by having her hide in a
closet when police came. She said:
"T just couldn't give her up.
1 couldn't be that mean"
The day the baby was born-in
the bathroom without Mrs.
Smiths knowledge-the girl got
breakfast, her mother testified.
The mother, on cross-examination,
denied assisting in the delivery.

borated his wife.

NEW. YORK, Oct. 8.-Although
Jesse /. Straus, diplomat, phil
anthropist and merchant. who
died last Sunday, made will in
1888 leaving large bequests to
charitable, philanthropic and edu-
cational organizations, he attached
a codicil to it in July, 1884, revok-
ing all these bequests because Of
the new estate taxes.
This became known when the
will and codicil were filed in the
Surrogates' Court by q representa-
tive Of Leon Lauterstein, attorney.
Dated May 9, 1888, the will dis
tributed 17,100 shares Of the COM
mon stock Of r. H. Macy & Co.,
Inc, of which Mr.. Straus formerly
was president, among Is organi-
cations.
At 513s, the closing market price
for the stock yesterday, the total
value Of these gifts would have
been $878,512.50, and at 50 a share,
the current dividend rate, the total
annual income from them would
have been $4,000.

Increased Band Fully Uniformed, Will March
AT All Home Football Games Thi. Year
(From The Pioneer)

A martial air! Brilliant blue and
white colors flashing forth on the
field! A trim, snappy drum major
twirling the glittering baton! The
drum ROLLING out a measured beat!
The sun glinting on polished in
struments! This is the sight that
will greet the eyes of the Catawba
fans who throng to the Newberry-
Catawba game, Saturday, Octiber
;, for at that time the band, clad
in new uniforms, will blossom out
in all its glory.
After consulting Mr.. Fox, the
band director, it seems that the
uniforms will consist of blue capes
with a big white c on the left
shoulder and a tricky hat of blue
and white to adorn the proud head
of every band member. Heading
the assembly will be none ither
than the inimitable Beverly Stein
ert, who really knows how to twirl
that baton in her nimble fingers.
Colors bearers will also be on hand,
carrying the two flags, the Ameri-
can and the Catawba, that were
provided for by the class of SO.
Aside from all these novel and
outstanding things, the band will
surprise the fans by executing a
number of intricate drills, which
were planned by the director, Mr..
Fox, and the drum mapir. Miss
Steinert. Mr.. Fox said, "Our band
this year will be the best-sound-
ing and best-looking of any that
Catawba has EVER had"
The larger band, the new blue
and white uniforms, the execution|
of interesting drills, will present an
inspiring and welcome sight to Ca
tawba's football fans. Dr.. Omwake
feels that the uniforms are a great
improvement. Uniforms for our
band has long been one of his fond
est dreams.

Farm Questions
Answered At
STATE COLLEGE

Question: Is a grain ration nee
essary for = dry sow d=rins
dry period?
Answer: If plenty of good P3t-I
ure is available and the animal is
in good flesh no other feed will be-
necessary. However, the cow
should have free access to a suitable
mineral mixture, unless the grazing
is legume crops or a legume hay is
being fed. If pasture is short or
the COW is in poor flesh enough
concentrate should be fed to put
the animal in good flesh before
freshening. Where concentrates are
added, all high protein grains and
most of the corn is removed from
the ration about TWO weeks before
freshening. A good grain mixture
to feed during this period is COM
posed of equal parts of wheat bran
and ground oats.
Question: How can l rid my
poultry flock of lice?
Answer: Probably the most ef-
jfective delousing product is sodium
flouride. This may be secured at
any drug store and can be applied
in three ways. First, by the pinch
$ method, second, by busting, and
third by dipping. Dipping is pro-
badly the most economical method
as it requires much less material
and time. One ounce of the sod
ium flouride is used to each gallon
- of tepid water. Hold the wings
, over the back and dip the birds
feet first until only theh eads are
: out of the solution. Ruffle the
) feathers thoroughly with the free
hand to insure penetration of the
fluid to the skin. The head should
also be ducked a few times during
> the operation. The birds should
be dipped at su-h times as to allow
them to dry thoroughly before go.
ing to roost.
Question: What is the prope'
temperature for curing sweet Pota
toes?
Answer: The temperature TO
best results should be from 80 t.
IS degrees. This should be con
tinued until the sprouts begin t
appear, which usually require
about two weeks. After this cur
ing period, the storage temperatur
should be lowered to SO degrees an
kept at that point until remove
for shipment or use. The temper
AZURE should never be allowed t
go below 40 degrees nor above 5
as high temperatures during tn
storage period causes excess shrink

Payments Offered For
Work Done In October

Under the soil-improvement
program, payment will be made
for a number of soil~-building prac.
tees hat can be carried out dur
ing the month of October.
These practices will be especially
helpful to farmers who must dc
more oil-building work if they are
to receive the full amount of pay
ments for which they are eligible
said Dean 1. O. Schaub, of State
College.
Over the State, he added, there
are many farmers who have acre
ages of soil-building crops tina,
make them eligible for more pay
ments than they have yet earned
withs oil-building practices.
These growers should check over
their farms at once to see what
else they must do to obtain the
full amount of their payments, the
dean pointed out.
He also stated that the payments
are only an additional inducement
for growers to do those things
which improve their land. The
soil-building value of these prac-
tees is worth far more than the
payments.
For this reason, he said, growers
will benefit themselves by carry
ing out more of these practices
than they will be paid for.
The rates of payment for prac-
tees that may be conducted up to
October 81 are as follows:
Seeding alfalfa, 81 per acre,
Seeding red or mammoth clover.
$50 per acre. Seeding Alsike.
white, or crimson clover, Austrian
winter peas, or vetch, 81 per acre
Flowing or disking under thu
following crops as green manure
after at least two months growth
soybeans, velvet beans, cowpeas
sweet clover, lespedeza, or crotal
aria, $50 per acre.
T%erracing with a sufficien
amount of properly constructed
terraces to give adequate protection
against erosion, 40 cents per TO-
linear feet of terrace, but do no
to exceed 81 per acre Lining, S
per 1000 pounds up to 81 pc

Two new structures were erect
ed this summer to improve the
college campus. Opposite the
Whitener Home, a new duplex
faculty apartment was erected.
Each of the two apartments have
seven large, well-lighted rooms.
The building, constructed by E.

tractor, in record time, is of brick
exterior and concrete block founda-
ton. The interior is white plaster
with cedar lined closets in the
bedrooms.
DR.. Omwake, speaking in gen
eral about all improvements said,
ut is a distinct step in advance
to build two new faculty homes
and a grandstand in one summer
after a continued depression" He
then pointed out that the build
ing was almost a necessity because
of the increase in enrolment.
The moving of DR.. Jenkins and
DR.. D. E. Faust into their new
building provided room for addi-
tional female enrolment. 1t was
pointed out that even with this
additional space, the girls were
still cramped and still had less
room than the boys have in their
single dormitory. This shift Of
girls into a former faculty apart
ment necessitated a renovation of
the upper floor of the Newton
Apartment.
