Ike a mother, in reverent age,

OF how splendid a thing age can

The hills that had been clothed

age, in a pretty shawl, sat rocking

Down in the valley all is quiet

of the spring is singing a differ

nod gravely, the trees that had
known and gloried in the flashing
passion of summer storms.
A miracle of miracles is working
in the outdoors now. To witness
it is to know a little more about

Shrinkdge

Men have long been puzzled
over the problem of how much
will pre-shrunk shirt shrink"
The ladies. too. have worried
about wash dresses that shrank
until they could hardly squeeze
into them with shoe horn.
But Uncle Sam has come to
the rescue, and from now on the
percentage of residual shrinkage
remaining in the fabric must be
given. according to Federal Trade
Commission fair trade rules.
Women's clubs are campaigning
70 acruaint consumers of this
opportunity for protection from
chafiro collars and puckered
waistlineS by merely looking for
the labels.
Science has developed mechan-
zeal means of controlling shrink
age of all cotton, linen and spun
rav"n fabrics so that residual
shrinkage will not be more than
my one per cent.
Whom house dresses. children's
dresses slaca1s and skirts carry
guarantee that the fabric will
not shrink more than one per
cont you can buv the correct
size and be sure of a perfect fit
M matter how many trips they
make to the washtub. Many wash
also carry similar guarantees.
Leading stores are cooperating
with consumer groups to help end
\ slsrinkage Accomplishments. So,
the joke about pre-shunk shirts
that shrink awav may soon be
IS dead as the dodo.

CUCCINO, JUNIOR
 AT NEW BRITAIN

New Britain, Dec. 13.-Unknown Morgan. Hartford negro who is rated as the hardest hitting middleweight In Connecticut, has been signed to fight Billy Campanelli of Worces- ter, Mass, in the six-round semi final bout on the card which fea- lures a return eight-round clash between Paul Junior of Lewiston, Me, and Carl (Red) Guggino of Hartford at thr Stanley arena here Friday night. Morgan's prowess in the ring is so well known that his managers find 1t harder and harder to secure suitable opponents for him. However, Campanelli, a rough and tough customer from the Bay State, jumped at the chance to meet the Capital City scrapper and a wild set-to is promised.
 Junior and Guggino are red hot ring rivals. In two meetings they have already had, Junior has been returned the winner but Guggino is not satisfied that the New England lightweight champion is the better man. Juniors title. recently won from Honey Melody of Boston, will not be on the line Friday as Junior insisted that Guggino come in over the l35-pound weight limit.
 Two four-rounders to be an- nodnced will complete the program. The first fight will start at s:S0 O. clock.

New York, December 13. - (Up) = The National Sports Council to- day abandoned a plan to take a squad of Metropolitan all-star foot ball players to Miami to play Miami High School in the Health Bowl Christmas Day.
 Two rulings squashed the idea. Dr. Frank P. Graves, commissioner of Education, announced that city, employed coaches could not coach the all-stars because of high school athletic regulations and the state physical education division made it plain that the players would lose their future eligibility for other sports if they took part in the post season contest.
 Dick McCann, council secretary, said the council would try to make up e team some other way.

Jimmy the Tribs guess went a little astray when the Grand Boys astonished the bowling world by trimming the Bean Eaters three straight games.

 The Monarch Insurance Five with or without the services of the great Klein have a tendency to cause plenty of trouble and there are strong rumors about that they ir- tend to strengthen and overtures have been made to sign up Lone- some Lou Piedmonte and BaShful Benny Conte two of the city's lead- ing bowlers. Hope you do 1t boys as 1t means a closer race and that Is just what we like.
 The Town Tavern boys have prac- ticed very faithfully for their com ing match with the Grand Five who pulled them out of first place and they have promised the Grand Boys very unpleasant surprise. Grabby Grazio the Clark Gable of the league. Piccolo Pete Perazella, Pal O Mine Palomba, Dancing Dan Dundee and August Ruffles Rovero boast team average of 580 and that is some bowling in any mans league.

 Friday
By HUGO HOOKyAR


 Last weeks Turcotte-pepe ringo in New Haven won decisively by the local boy, started a short furry of fistic entertainment throughout the state that promises something to write to Santa Claus about. The next number on the program is the Dick Turcotte . Johnny Dougwillo scrap, tabbed for tomorrow night, at Buckingham Hall which ought to lure the faithful fight followers away from their Christmas shopping long enough to get their second wind.
 Nice Work
 Last night, Red Moffet of Devon proved to 4,000 doubting Thomases that he was the ringmaster of the classy Julie Kogan, by punching him dizzy in at New Haven. though Kogan put on @ last round furry that satisfied his admirers, but was far short of being enough to turn the verdict in his favor.
 Friday night, Red Guggino, one of the nations better lightweights tangles with Paul Junior of Maine at New Britain. A year ago, junior was Madison Square Garden per- former, while Guggino is rated one of the first ten lightweights in the country.
 Remember?
 Dougwillo's fights in Waterbury last summer will be remembered by the local citizenry, for the de- feated Bobby Cummings, the color ed boy from New York; Mickey Donahue, and Joe Triano. When Q test with Turcotte was talked over. he baked but demands 1t now which is here this week, for Dougwillo is nobody's pushover, even Turcottee.
 The Donovan boys from New Rochelle. Buddy and Paddy are also booked which is something for fans to look forward to, for both of them know their hooks and jabs.
