FOUGHT GAMELY
The youthful Stanford star, down
four holes after the first seven,
fought gamely to keep III the run
ming but conceded to Pieper's birdie
four on the 32nd after going into
a sand trap.
Pieper, whose long drives fire.
quently disappeared into the fog
that held the gallery to 500 spec
tators, turned in a rs for the first
19. Both men had trouble with
their puts on the tricky greens,
but RoSburg's woods failed him as
he took an 81 to go to lunch five
down.
At the turn in the afternoon
round, both were even par with
36S, and Rosburg birdied the 29th
to cut Pieper's lead to four up.
They halved the next two holes
but the San Jose star ran out the
match by getting his third birdie
on the day of the 32nd.
Pieper found the five-par 480
yard second hole to his liking, 60
ing one stroke under on it twice.
Rosburg also carded three brides
all in the afternoon.

for Army Service Forces represent
alton on all Area Production Urgen-
cy and Manpower PrioritieS Com
mittees, which are now being get up

1ective Service Director, already has
sent kilograms to Selectiye Service
State Directors asking them to use
the information and recommended
tionS supplied by the designated
Army officers and by similar rep
resentatives being named by other
government agencies. General Her
shey. however, pointed out that rec
concentrations made by these rep
resentatives were not binding upon
the State Directors.

was commissioned a lieutenant in
the Coast Artillery In 1917. After

ANIMAL SCULPTURE
EXHIBIT ARRANGED
Works of Herbert Hasel=
tine to Be Viewed at
Yale University

New Haven, Conn.,, April 13.-An
exhibition Of the animal sculpture
of Herbert Haseltine. who got his
first inspiration to depict animals
in motion from a visit to Buffalo
Bills circus, will be held at the
Yale University Art Gallery from
April 10 through April 30, it was
announced today by Emerson futile,
acting director Of the Yale Art
Gallery.
Mr.. Haseltine's early training was
in painting, but the success of a
model OF two polo players, which
won an Honorable Mention at the
Paris Salon before the first World
War, started him on his career as
a sculptor. His painting had been
devoted to animals as a result of
the interest aroused when he saw
Buffalo Bills circus while living with
his parents in Rome, and he con-
tinued to depict animals when he
became a sculptor.
During the first World War, he
served as captain in the Engineer
Corps. A notable product of this
was lies Revenants," group OF
war-worn horses returning from the
front, in a style which shows a
transition from his earlier drama
tically active sculpture to the sta
tic monumentality of his later
works.
Included in the present exhibit
are II of his series of British
Champion Animals" which was be-
gun In 1921. The first of these
was the champion Field Marshal
v, the property of King George
V. This series includes horses,
Sleeps, cattle and hgrdlu otinoetet
sheep, cattle and hogs, done in mar
BILE, stone, bronze and plaster. AL
Of the Champions to be shown at
Yale are in bronze.
In 1925, Mr.. Hazeltine was COM
u1issioned by the Maharaja Jamsa-
heb of Nawanagar to make an eques-
TRAN statue Of his ancestor, the
Maharajadiraj Jam Shri Rawalji
who founded the state of havana
gar In 1885. The model for the
horse was sent by the Maharaja to
Paris, accompanied by tr<.ner and
retinue of scyces or groonS, to
pose In Haseltine'S studio. The
round trip for the horse and. party
totaled 1926 miles.
The gold-brcnze equestrian statue
of heroic size, was placed in the
middle of Lake Lakota in Nawanger
and was unveiled by the Viceroy of
India in 1884. 1t has been pro-
claimed Hindu God and pilgrim
ages to it are made from all parts
of India.
Among the famous race horses of
which Mr.. Halestine has made sta
tues are Twenty Grand, Main O.
War, Sir Galahad III, Cavalcade,
Sergeant Murphy, Easter Hero,
Royal Minstrel and Billy Barton.
He is at present working on he
roic-Size statue of Man O. War.
The exhibition at the Yale Art
Gallery will include 10 pieces of
sculpture, with examples OF both his
early and contemporary styles.

INSTRUCTIONS ON
VICTORY GARDENS
Necessity for Extra Food
Late in 1914 Emphasized
By Officials

Waterbury's victory garden au-
thorities are urging the initial
planning and actual work for this
years gardens on the part OF all
victory gardeners. Shortage OF can
ned goods next winter has prompt
ed both local and federal garden
officials to urge an even greater
participation this year in this en-
deavor.
The following are helpful hints
issued by the local authorities as
essentials of a good garden; Sun
shine - a garden with an all-day
sun warns up earlier in the spring
and produces longer in the fall.
Select your location so that house,
garage. trees or shrubbery will not
cut off the beneficial rays of the
sun; ca Drainage - vegetables
thrive best in well-drained soil
as the roots grow deeper; 90 Or
ganic matter the more organic
matter and humuS in the soil, the
greater will be your gardens yield.
Well rotted manure is the best
source of organic matter. Peat moss
OF TOIIcu St4 dW AAC 4ttAl o0HoCAoNVCo'
Plant food Feed your soil and
it will feed you" is an old rule
among master gardeners. Since soils
are very often deficient in minerals
necessary for best growth of vege-
tables, these minerals must be
s. pplied artificially. Five pounds of
good fertilizer per hundred square
feet broadcast over the soil after
spading and worked into the soil
with rake will show a greater
garden yield. az Soil preparation
the easy way Spading or plow-
ing admits air and water and makes
the plant foods available for the
crops to get an early start. If
handful of dirt molds in the hand,
yet crumbles easily with slight
tap, its ready for spading.
Bernard Mcdonald and Mrs.
Flora Allan co-chairman Of the
local victory garden committee
have urged that spring planting
and work get underway immediate
ly upon conditions being found fav-
orable

FARMERS URGING
CENTRAL MARKET
Committee to Hold Joint
Meeting to Review
Angles of Problem

Recent chronological develop
bents In the packing and market
ing industries, population shifts and
changing conditions brought about
by the war, and the possibilities OF
changes in transportation facilities
are to result in review Of plans
for a farmers regional or central
market in Connecticut. The nueces-
sity for new study of the prob
lem was decided upon at a joint
meeting of the Connecticut egional
Marketing Authority and the Com
necticut Regional Marketing Auth
GRITTY and the Committee on Rural
Life and Agriculture of the State
Postwar Planning Board.
The Marketing Authority complet-
ed plans more than a year ago for
central market where agricultural
produce could be made easily avail
able for sale and distribution. These
plans were held in allegiance, how
ever, because of q shortage of ma
terials necessary for construction of
the market. The Marketing Auth
GRITTY now wishes to have informa-
ton on recent improvements and
has asked the Extension Service OF
the University OF Connecticut to
sl1rvew developments and changes
brought about by the war in order
to determine whether revisions of
its plans are necessary to meet post
war conditions.
Among the questions which will
be studied are the need for increased
freezing facilities and storage space
for frozen foods at the central mr.
ket. Attention will be given to
the possibility of improved methods
OF transportation after the war and
