GIRLS EQUAL
 OF MEN

BERKELEY, Cal, Aug. 5.-"Am- erican girls cannot be subdued Mentally, they are the equal of men"
 This statement was made by Dr Alfred Adler. famous New York psychiatrist, here for a series of lectures.
 If American girls learn to over come their physical limitations and many of them are doing so- there is no limit to their poten- tialities," said Dr. Adler.
 "A woman President is more than possible. N
 T believe that men are but grown-up children. A true study of adult life must be based upon a study of mems formative years"

CR|F STADIUM
 GETS CONTEST fif,

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 5. = The 1857 All-Star game, one of the mightiest of all sports spectacles, will be played in Griffith Stadium. , The famed contest between star studded teams of the American and National Leagues was awarded to Washington for next season in a surprising move made here by the AllStar game advisory committee.
 The committee. composed of Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis, high commissioner of baseball: Will Hart ridge, president of the American League, and Ford c. Prick, presi- dent of the National League, grant ed Washington the coveted baseball prize in quiet defiance of the pre- cedent that the game should rotate between East and West each year Detroit was to have been the scene of the 1897 spectacle.
 Surprising Result
 The award came as surprising result of routine application made by Clark Griffith, president of the Washington Senators, in a joint meeting of the sixteen big league owners. Griffith did not hope to have his application granted before the 1889 season. He said he antici- pated that Detroits bid already was in,e but when the meeting moved to consider the Griffith 1897 plea, he pushed the matter further and wrung permission from the assem- bly to stage the classic.

BALL CONTEST ~RA|NED OUT IN
 '~ THREE INNINGS
Moose and Elks Were Put
 ting Up Fast Game when ''' Forced to Stop

Out of the South came rain, just in time to wash cut last evenings ball game after three and one-half innings with the Moose holding a 3-1 lead over the Elks But three and one-half innings is not a ball game, so there is just one more contest to be played off before the season ends.
 When the great dark cloud first hove in sight, players on both teams put on real speed and were coming through with some mighty fast baseball, in the attempt to get in enough innings to make an of ficial game before the wall of water struck, but to no avail.
 Scores Made
 The Moose had scored two runs in the first frame and added an- other in the third, while the Elks had slipped over one in the first Behind the chucking of Jim Mor- gan, the Paps seemed well on their way to another ball game Morgan had already collected five strike outs out of twelve batterS to face him and the Elks run was in no way his fault, Bardi scoring from third when Forsythe threw wild on what should have been the third out Morgan had allowed no hits. Koski, hurling for the Purples, needed a bit of taming-he had given four walks, and two hits for two earned runs out of the three scored.
 i iji9 41 Game Tonight
 This evening, promptly at 630, if all goes well with the weather, the ElSs and Legion baseball teams will gather at Bremen Park for a third attempt to play off their game. The game. was scheduled for last Fri day, but a full lineup showed for neither squad Again Saturday. that evening enough Vets were on hand but the Purples were shy. They picked up enough players to hold practice game, the Legion winning GA in five periods. More success to them tonight.
 Battery chaices tonight will most likely find MacSpadden and Blake for the Elks, and Lowe and Clark for the Legion.

Olympic record with toss of 165 feet this spring, but could not win berth on the squad which is now in Berlin Paul Halleck of Ohio University boasted a toss of 167 feet but was not good enough at the final tryouts.
 It's Jinx
 Records seem to jinx the discus throwers in Olympic competition. Jim Duncan for years held the world mark for the event-156 feet yet the best he could do at Stock holm in 1912 was third place. Paul Jessup, giant from the University of Washington, boosted the mark to 169 feet 8B inches at the 1930 national championship meet, but two years later failed to make the squad which competed at Los An geleS.
 Carpenter, the present record holder, was forced to take second  place behind Dunn in the final tryouts and that may be an indica- ton of what he can expect at the international Games in Berlin. The trio selected to represent America looks formidable enough, and if one of the stars happens to be a bit off form on the day of the competition, either of the other two would seem capable of reeling off toss that will insure the championships remaining in Am erica.
 Harald Anderson, holder of the accepted world mark, appears to be Europe's main threat. Then there is Willi Schroeder of Ger many, who has been credited with a throw of TIA feet. If Schroeder is able to match that toss in Olympic competition, Dunn, Car penter and Wood will have to do plenty of scratching.

CHICAGO, Aug. B.. Jimmy Smith, only year old, opened a bag his mother, Mrs. Harold Smith, had placed in his buggy, and began investigating.

Snatching the bag from the hands of the child, Mrs. Smith shook the SCOT pion back into its nest in the fruit and later, at her home, imprisoned it in a milk bottle, where it stabbed itself to death with it's own poi Soned stinger.

SPORT SLANTS

If any single event on the ath- letic program stands as symbol of the Olympic Games it is the discus throw. The famous Greek statue of Discobolus typifies the ancient athletic contests more than anything else. The Greeks insisted that the discus throw be included on the program when the modern Olympic Games were inaugurated in 1896, but no Greek ever won the event.
 From the very start American athletes adapted themselves to the art of plate-tossing with great suc- cess. The event was unknown to Americans when the Games were revived. But that didn't keep Rob- ert Garrett of the American forces from walking off with first honors in 1896. Garrett, a weight-toSser from Princeton, was selected for the event because of his experience with the shot. He hurled the plat ter almost 96 feet, and that was farther than any of the more ex- perienced contestants could do.
 America was not successful in defending the title at the 1900 Games when Bauer of Hungary out -distanced the field with throw of slightly more than l1g feet. But the immortal Martin Sheridan re- gained the title in 1904 and suc- cessfully defended in 1906 and 1908 Finland took the championship in 1912 and 1920, but since that time the United States has ruled su- preme. Bud Houser won in Paris, and again at Amsterdam. John Anderson, the former Cornell star, won at Los Angeles in 1892 when he sailed the discus 162 feet As inches for the existing Olympic record.
 The Art Develops
 Garrett's winning toss of 1896 would hardly net him a prize in high school competition today. The art of tossing the discus has come along by leaps and bounds since then. The 96-foot throw of Garrett looks puny when compared with the existing world record for the event. Harald Anderson, of Sweden holds the mark-171 feet 11A in- ches-made in 1884. Ken Carpenter of Southern California had toss of l73 feet to his credit this spring | America seems fairly well forti- fled in this classic event this year In addition to Carpenter, there is G ord on (Slinger) Dunn, former Stanford star, who won the event at the final tryouts on Randalls Island, and Walter Wood, Cor nell's intercollegiate champion.
 Some idea of the quality of the competition for the three places available on the Olympic squad car be gained from the fact that Phi Levy, a Coast star with a 17O-foot toss to his credit, was unable tc win place. John Anderson, es- saying comeback, beats his owi

Campaign Against DefeC- tive Lights Continues;
 Cars Halted

Seventy-two motorists were halt cd by members of the motor patrol last night in every section of the city in the police check-up on de- fective lights, 1t was reported today at department headquarters.

 Drivers are not allowed to pro- ceed with their cars until defective bulbs have been replaced. No ar- rests have been made, Superinten- dent of Police William J. Roach said this morning, and 1t is improbable that arrests will be necessary, but drivers must have the lighting equipment repaired at once before being allowed to proceed.
 The motor patrolman who stops the car, accompanies the driver tC the nearest garage or service station where repairs may be made and checks the installation of new bulbs Motorists are urged to carry spare bulbs in their cars for their owr protection and to save loss of time

COMMON SENSE
 HAS HIT EUROPE

Chicago, May 6.-(UP)-The sun of common sense is rising in Europe and present events forecast an "en- during period of peace," Charles G. Dawes, former Vice-president and ambassador to England, said today.
 Through the darkness and seem- ing hopelessness, the sun of com- mon sense is slowly rising on the European horizon" Dawes told the Chicago Association of Commerce.
 "The march of Hitler into the Rhine will bring about an adjust ment of vital differences between France and Germany as certainly as did Poincare's march into the Ruhr in 1923, which made possible reparation agreements, re-establish- ing French ana German economy for years.
 "The events of the last 10 years in Europe, eliminating in the Mus solini invasion of Ethiopia and in Hitler's solidification and rearming in Germany, so far from making Q certainty of coming war, have fin- ally brought about an attitude in the respective public sentiments of the European nations which should result in 0 series of settlements making for an enduring period of peace in Europe covering decades" !"

Thomaston Changes
 Upheld By Chairman
George Dewe Claims Alterations in Policy Adopted
 for Interest of Town, Not Personal Reasons

town and children enrolled in lo- cal institutions of learning.
 Dewell stated Principal Raymond N. Brown was ordered to teach four hours per day 50 that a full-time physical education program can be installed. By Mir. Brown teaching four hours daily teachers qualified to instruct physical education can be used for that purpose and the children's time will be taken up by a much-needed physical education program and simultaneously elimi- nate the unsuccessful stagger sys- tenn.
 In regard to the cuts in the teachers salaries Dewell stated the local teachers were getting larger salaries than teachers in Bristol, Torrington, Watertown, TerryVille and several of the neighboring towns, and the cut for some to $500 was as high as was being paid anywhere in this vicinity. He stat ed the slice was necessary as the towns appropriation of $53,500 was used practically for salaries alone, and left the school dependent on the state recommendations for its run ming expenses.
 He said the new ruling in re- gard to no married women teach CTS being hired next year was at- tributed to the fact that in prac- tically all cases the husband is usually able to stand household ex- penditures and 1t isn't fair to have two working in one family while qualified unmarried school teach- CTS were unable to get positions. Dewell made 1t clear he had no personal interest in casting the de- ciding vote on this question as his daughter, Lucia Dewell, is not look ing for @ position as teacher. For the interest of the town he thought 1t Q better idea.
 At the January meeting, 1t was voted that no money be paid out unless approved by the board, but a check for $500 for petty cash, was traced which had never been brought up before the board, but was made out in April, three months after the board of educa- ton voted against such procedure. The payment of the check was stopped by George Dewell.
