O. D. Segrave, British racing driver, in setting a new world speed record at Daytona, Florida. At a dinner of the institute of transport of which the prince is hon- orary president he remarkedsthat he *would like to describe Segrave a5 a hero.”, He continued, “I had a look at the *“Golden Arrow” a few days before Major Segrave sailed for America, and I had a chat with him. I think without exaggeration we can nut his efforts to regain the world’s speed record as one of the bravest, one of the most sporting, ever made. “It wasn't as though he did not know what the game was. He did, | and he left this country with a car’ which had never been tried out. It couldn’t be—there is no room here to go at 200 miles an hour. It was an entirely new experiment from the moment he started, and T am sure that all of us take our hats oft to Major Segrave as a very brave man and a very fine sportsman. “We can eonly sympathize with him that the only thing that marged | this wonderful success, this great trinmph, was that his opponent from our friends over on the other side, was killed.” SCIENCE MAY AID FISH PROTECTION America’s Game Resources Need Building Up Washington, March 15 (D—The @id of science is being invoked by Beth E. Gordon, conservation di- | rector of the Izaak Walton league, | for the protection and building up of America’'s game fish resources, While he sympathizes with Her- bert Hoover's desire to “reduce the time between bites,” he says tfai problem of the sportsman has con- cerned him much less than the dwindling chances for the man or | boy of average means to fish at all. | “Our best angling. llke our hunt- ing,” he warns, “is drifting into the hands of the wealthy business and| professional men of America.” About 250 of the league's chap- ters are spending their time and money helping to rear millions of Vaby fish to a size which gives them | a chance to survive when released in streams or Jakes, he says. Sev- eral hundred additional chapters are expected to take up that work this year. | Calling on the bureau of fisher- | fes for assistance, he declarcs the guidance and ald of more trained | field workers are needed, and that | more thorough stream and lake studies than have been possible in ! the past are cssential to bring the | desired results. Another way science | can help, he says, is by convincing the public that fish are not fit for food during their spawning periods. “The development of the country, our rapidly increasing population, short sighted lumbering operations i drainage of lakes and marshes, good roads and automobile, and an appalling increase in the number A')f1 anglers,” he holds, “have decidedly intensified the fresh water anglin, problems. But industrial and muni- cipal wastes, commonly referred to | combination as pollution, have done more to de- stroy thousands of miles of good angling streams and lakes than all other factors." The number of angles in Ameri- ca hes increased from 1,000,000 to 10,000,000 in the last 25 years, he says, and “the only sensible thing to do is to bring back natural con. ditions so far as possible and in- crease the natufal production as well as the output of our hatcheries and rearing ponds, to meet the demands.” COSTUNE JEWELRY 5 REMAINS POPULAR Women Still Tumble for Money| Making Specialties Paris, March 15 (P—There will be no let-up in costume jewelry as long as women continue t@ tumble for the money-making specialtics launched by famous style makers. Necklaces and bracelets, which sell at big prices in the shops that | sponsor them, but cost compara-| ively little to produce, the most remunerative side-lines. They go hand in hand with per-| fumes as tried and tested profit- makers. Competition for the exclusiveness of new costume jewelry ideas is| keen. Therefore the dressmaking | house that can show something original and assure its customers that they cannot find it elsewherc and that n8 costume can be truly | Vionnet or Chanel or Lanvin with- out it has a tremendous turn-over on its line of talk as well as its line of merchandise. The fly in their ointment, however, is the copyist. There are moro copyists operating in the costume jewelry field, probably, than in any other. Btyles have to be changed rapidly for the famous houses to maintain the originality of their ideas Among the latest novelties is a collar of gold, or simulated gold, stamped out of one piece of metal It has a cut-out pattern and comes an inch or o0 helow the base of the throat. Tt fits closely about the neck like a slave collar. | Looking glass chokers are anoth- er novelty of spring. Crystal and| coral, or imitation coral, beads in| are new. The same bead necklace is carried out in manay colors, with the colored bheads concentrated in large knobs half the of a golf ball. Algerian and Tunisian jewelry modern and antique, is being push- ed by several fashion houses. Af- rican gold work is also being pro- moted in the form of wide bracc- lets. Walska Gets Her Jewels at Sea | New York, March 15 (®—Ganna Walska, singer and wife of Harold F. McCormick, was outside the l:-; mile limit today and at liberty to wear her $250,000 worth of jewels. | The jewelry was delivered aboard | the liner Paris shortly before the ship sailed after having been se- | questrated in a customs warchouse since Mme. Walska arrived in this country last year. The jewel case was placed in keeping of the purser | by customs men who cautioned him not to give it to the owner until the ship was outside American water: Mme. Walska refused to pay dut on the jewels when she entered th: country, claiming the right to brin, them ir as property of a foreig: visitor. She took the case to court but seizure was upheld on the ground that Mme, Walska could not claim aris as her residence inasmuch as she was the wife ot McCormick,*a resident of Chicago. Ganna The D.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY fiERALU, CONNIE MACK IS | STIL IN RACE Veteran Manager of Athletics to Try Again for Pennant Fort Myers, Fla., March 15 (®— | ack, active and cheerful in | spite of nearly half a century in| baseball, will attempt to win an| American league pennant for Phila- | dbiphia with practically the same payers who falled by a narrow mar- | gin last year. Manager Mack will rearrange his | men to some extent but no new | faces will appear in the regular | lineup. Every indication, however, | points to one new pitcher and if the young man about to be struck by the fnajor lcague lightning has a | curve ball Athletic fans will ses a | great deal of him. This promising recruit, Bill Breckenridge, late of Dartmouth, may be the only player who wilf | have to be introduced at Shibe park. The other youngsters who have a fore | “Breck,” as he fs affectionately | addressed by the other players, has| not yet been called on to show specifications for a curve ball, but| there is little doubt that he has| everything else a pitcher needs. A | husky lad. he whips his fast one| through with easy control and for | a young man short of his majority, | he displays extraordinary coolness | on the mound. Assignment of the versatile Jim. my Foxx, of the extra x Foxxes, to first hase will cause a revision of the infield plans. Max Bishop would | have been renominated at second | hase without opposition, but he showed a disinclination to sign. He | may get so far behind in training | that he will not be able to catch| up. In such an event Jimmy ll\'kh!.: {who plays anywhere he finds him- | self, will perform at second, with | Joe Boley at short and Sammy Hale at third. If Bishop gets in at sec- ond, Dykes still may get a r*h:n\r‘fi,} at a regular job by forcing Hale | from third base {0 utility status. | Joe Hassler and Eddie Collins again | will stand by for infield emergen. | cies. Nick Borelli, the Muhlenberg | athlete, needs more experience. The outfield of last season's close | has been brought over intact, with! Albert Simmons, George Haas and | | Bing Miller in undisputed posses- | Ision of the field. Homer Summa, formeg Cleveland outfielder, will be | | his practice to a minimum awaiting for the arm to respond to: a reserve assisted by Omie Orwoll, who was & pitcher last year and first baseman this spring. As a first sacker he is said to have resembled a good outflelder or left-handed pitcher. Redman Kume, Southern | Methodist university football player, and John Scott, Mercer university product and protege of the Fort Myers Kiwanis club, are not yet ready. Mickey Cochrane, the most valu- able player in the American league by official verdict, will do the bulk of the catching, but Cy Perkins is available as first aid. Perkins has the happy faculty of thriving on idleness, and even after an absence of a month from the game he can &0 in and catch “cold” without his work suffering. Bob Grove, George Walberg, and Howard Ehmke, John Quinn, Eddie Rommell and George Earnshaw will be the chief dependence in the pitching department; with Brecken- ridge, Stewart Bolen, Carroll Ridges’ curve passes all the tests, he may become a starter, John Picus Quinn who will be 44 vears of age the day after the fourth of July, is one of baseball's most interesting stars. John Picus in his later years is developing more speed. He is still somewhat short of Grove's sensational fast ball, but the old man seems to be noticeably faster than are one of Chance to stick have been there be- | he was a few seasons ago. He also has one of the few surviving spit- balls in the game. ‘The senior pitch- er of the two major leagues in 1928 compiled a pitching percentage of more than .700 and had an earned run average of less than three runs | to the game, so with speed this year he should do no worse, Earnshaw prepared carefully for the new campaign, preceding the training camp work with baths and exercises at Hot Springs, Ark., and Manager Mack expects work from the former Oriole. The other pitchers have rounded into shape without suffering injuries. The cnly casualty in the Athletic camp has been Joe Boley, who has been slowed in his work by a sore arm. Eddie Collins, who keeps a paternal eve on the infielders, has restricted while reatment, he Athletics have plenty of con- fidence and hope to do better than they did last year. One department in which improvement s expected is | that of double plays. If the runner: up had been more adept at getting two at once, they might have won the American league championship. There were no signals invthe early davs of railways—when drivers of trains met on a single track line they had to argue it out. Later, a post was erected midway between stations so that “he who had passed the pillar must go on, and the other g0 back.” consistent | FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1920, STUDY ORDINANCE ON DYEING PLANTS (Council Committee Members | Will Have New Law Draited After hearing explanations of the { provisions of & proposed ordinance | !intended to regulate the operation | |and maintenance of clcaning and | | dyeing plants in New Britain by R. |J.

This plant, | he said, gives off offensive smoke, | odors and gases, spoiling washings} on lines in the vards, and depreciat- | |ing the value of surrounding proper- | ty. He said he had consulted every | | official body in the city government | which might be expected to havey same authority in the matter, but all |the faction he received was to {have someone tell him he could go to law about it if he wished. Mr.| | Dunlay tmpressed upon the commit- | !tee that he realized it was probabiv too late for relief for him and the | others affected-by this plant, but he felt it only fair that other sections | of the city should be protected against a similar condition. Building Inspector Rutherford presented an outline of the proposed | fire district and it was voted to hold a public hearing before taking action on Tuesday, March 26. Alderman W. R.
