The affair was staged under the direction of Chairman Vincent R. O'Dell and his aides were President Raymond MacArthur and Clifford R. Talmadge. More than 40 members went into the contests at bridge and setback. Harry Wessels was the ace of the bridge players, making 2,600 points in 24 hands. Robert J. Bertini prov- ed second best. The former was awarded a pocket knife and the lat- ter a keyring. There were two tables of setback, seven players at each. George Bacon showed as most skillful on one and Leland Grose on the other. They were awarded pocket knives. The runners-up were Charles Lent ~ and George Paulson and as a result they have new keyrings. Under the direction of David Mor- rison there was a scarf contest, which was won by Raymond Mac- * Arthur. The social committee will hold a luncheon meeting at the Burritt ho- tel this evening at 6 o'clock at which time the date for the annual ball of the Kenilworth club will ke set and arrangements made for the affair, It will be held sometime | next month. SAYS ROAD BUILDING e lNTERNATlONAL PROBLEM R. Kcith Compton, President of American Association, Addressos Convention in Cleveland. Cleveland, Jan. 15 (A — Road building a few years ago concerned the county, city, state and nation; today it concerns all nations and therefore has become an interna- ~ {ional proposition, R. Keith Comp- ton, president of the American Road Builders' association, declared in an address at the opening of the 26th annual convention of the associa- eion today. “The steps taken by a group of nations to construct highways lead- ing from one to another, is probably the greatest investment of this age for creating good will, mutual un- derstanding, and for creating com- merce between such nations,” # Compton said. He believed the visit of President-Elect Hoover to the South and Central American coun- tries will add impetus to the move- wment for the construction of the Pan-American highway, he said, and that “it will have far reaching ef- fect on this important matter of _ road building.” Compton touched on the accom- plishments of the various divisions of the Road Builders' association. He told of the standardization work and the efforts toward coordination between varlous road-building bodies. Captain H. C. Whitehurst, of Wash- ington, in discussing traffic condi- tions in cities, criticized “the entire lack in nearly every city in coordi- nating of highway, traflic and pub- lic utility interests. The works of one are constantly upset by the works of the other.” He also criticized the lack of ficld control over street construc- tion and the absence of systematic * maintenance. “Leaving for the moment mis- takes in judgment and of subgrade conditions, 1 dare say 90 per cent of other failures of streets and roads are duc to poor inspections and lack of field control or improper main- tenance,” he said.

PISO’S o, COUS At erty sheriff ohs Cambridge, Mass;, Jan. 15 (UP)— The fate of Frederick Hinman Knowlton, Jr., young Framingham business man, who was convicted of murdering Miss Marguerite Isabellc Stewart, Beverely school teacher, rested with Superior Judge Wilford D. Gray today. After hearing arguments for a new trial, last night, Judge Gray took the case under advicement. If he denies the defendant another trial, the death sentence will be im- posed immediately and Knowlton will be sent to the electric chair un- less Governor Frank G. Allen inter- venes. The motion for new trial was based on affidavits from }Irs. Emma Gilbert Kennedy of the Beverly school for the deaf, where Miss Stewart was employed, and Willard L. Lane of Beverly. Mrs. Kennedy offered testimony tending to corroborate the defend- {ant's story that he left Miss Stewart at the Beverly school late on the uight of March 29 last after accom- panying her on an automobile ride. Lane’s testimony was that on the same night he saw an automobile resembling Knowlton's car parked near the school. There was a man and young woman in the machine, {he said. A few minutes later the girl left the car and walked toward the school, according to Lane. HOPE T0 DISCOVER WHY MOTOR MISSES Scientists Studying Cause of Trouble On Getaway Washington, Jan. 15 (P—Fuel and motor experts of the burcau of standards are seeking an answer to the motorist's question: “why docs my engine miss sometimes when I step down on the accelerator.” There 18 a deep-seated rcientific problem behind the rather simple | query which is a commoner one than the individual motorist real- izcs, the cxperts say. Is the fuel to be blamed, or is it the engine, or the carburetor which | mixes the fuel and air for the en- | gine? How can the fault be elim- inated? These are the elementary questions to which the bureau of standards, in cooperation With the automotive and petroleum industry, is seeking the answer. Early experiments to solve the problem indicatcs a general rela- tionship between the character of the fuel and the acceleration per- formance obtained with it. The tests have shown that of two fuels, the one which gives better accelera- tion under conditions of winter op- eration may be poorer than the other under summer conditions. It also has been learned that while an engine will accelerate about as well with cold jacket wa- ter as with hot, heating the intake manifold greatly improves acceler- ation. The acceleration obtained with mixtures both leaner and richer than those normally em- | Ployed has been accurately meas- ured to determine the advisability | of their use for general purposes. The bureau of standards’ investi- gation will continue the study of the relation between fuel and ac- celeration performance and will test the effectiveness of carburetor auxiliary devices designed to give nearly as good acceleration per- formance with a low grade of fuci as can be obtained with a high test gasoline The tests also have shown that while a high test gasoline is valu- able to aid in starting the engine in cold weather, it is of little added value during extremely warm weather. The ultimate object of the coop- erative investigation is to deter- mine what volatility of motor fucl is most economical from the stand- point of starting, operating and ac- celeration performance in an effort to conserve American petroleum resources. The bureau of determine, as part of mental functions, the volatility of | gasolines sold to the public.| Whether those gasolines should have a higher volatility or a lower volatility must be redetermined as new scientific investigations show | the way for greater efficiency with lower grade gasolines. | Both the petroleum and automo- | tive industries are watching the | hureau of standards’ investigation closely with the hopes that some device or method may be worked out to use lower grade gasoline with greater efficiency in accelera- tion. Philadelphia Trying To Find Airport Site Philadelphia, Jan. 15 UP—Citizens of metropolitap Philadelphia had be- fore them today the report of a firm of engineers on the best location for a great airport in this area. The en- gineers' survey favored a 400-acre tract near Springfield, Delaware county, eight miles southwest from Philadelphia city hall. While the site is favored by many aviators and others interested in viation, disappointment was ex- pressed by some prominent city offi- clals, including Mayor Mackey, that the survey did not find an adequate site within the city limits of Phila- delphia. The survey recommended the developments of all existing fly- ing flelds in the city and in Camden, .

Temperature dropped to eight degrees above zero. Higher tem- peratures were forecast for today. | An aged soldier was found dead beside his bed. The fire department responded to Law Being Heard Today by Justice Traceski. The case of Mary Arce against her sister and brother-in-law, Giuseppe and Jennie Jerniciari, for $800 damages was partly heard today in city court before Justice Stanley J. Traceskl, acting judge. The plaintiff brought the action on the basis of a loan made to her relatives and for work performed in connection wi‘h the tearing down of an old barn on oble street and building a bakery, and performing other manual labor, for which she was promised $10 a week. The case was barely under way, when Judge F. B. Hungerford, coun- sel for the defendant, motioned for dismissal on the ground that the plaintifft was a minor and as such brought the action. Leonard 8. Ap- pell, counsel for the plaintiff, ex- plained that he did not think it nec- essary as the plaintiff was married, but the judge insisted on dismissal. It was finally agreed that the plain- tiff post a $75 bond for costs and substitute a party plainfiff. The plaintiff's husband did not' have the necessary amount, whereupon Mr. Appell asked counsel for the defense whether he would accept him (Appell) as security. The judge an swered that he did not wish to have his colleague go to such extremities, | but Mr. Appell stated that he was willing to go bond for his clients, and the hearing was resumed. Turned Over Pay to Relatives ‘The plaintiff, who is 20 years old, came to this country flve years ago, according to the testimony, and went to live with her sister and brother-in-law in where she was employed soon after her arrival in the carpet mil She worked there for 10 months, earn- ing from $25 to $30 per week, and for four months turned over her earnings to her relatives. Later she went to New Jersey to another sis- ter and also worked in a factory and saved a little money, came back to Thompsonville, deposited $135 in a bank, and being unable to find work returned to her other sister. Altogether she managed to save $288, which, she testified, she loaned to her relatives after moving SGOUT COUNCIL'S ANNUAL MEETING Event to Be Held at Y. M. C. A, Hall on January 32 Leon A.
