 Monday night is beginning to be one of the banner nights of the week at the Lyceum and the attendance is growing by leaps and bounds. A theat- rical performance is judged by the critics on the work of the actors on the first night, not by their success of mid-week. New Britain critics are at tending in force aud MT.

HENRY FORD HAS
 NEW PEACE PLAN
Will Take Over Personalities Instead
 of Personages on His Next Trip
to Europe.

Chicago, Feb. 7.-Henry Ford, Of Detroit, who sent a peace ship to Eu- rope, h&s a new peace plan.
 T would like to tell you about the new peace plan, but I must wait until my party nas returned from Europe, said MT. Ford yesterday. He said he was perfectly satisfied with the re- suits of his peace expedition.
 Mr. Ford came here to attend d banquet given yesterday by the, Mlchl- gan Society of Chicago. He said his new effort to bring the strife in Flu rope to an end would be on a larger scale than the Oscar II, expedition and that his recruits would be per sonaIities rather than persOnages.
 '"The new venture is along the same lines as the first One," contin- ued MT. Ford, "but on a larger scale. across the water were astonlshed when they saw the personnel of that party They had expected to see lot of 'highbroWs' and were surprised to find that they were just everyday people. They would hardly believe me when I told them l could have brought thousands more of the same.

NORWEGIAN CRAFT ON
 BRITISH "BLACKLIST'
Steamer Ontaneda, Denied Permission to Take on Sufficient Coal to
 Complete Her Trip.

St. Johns, N. F., Feb. 7.-The Brit 1sh admiralty has refused permission to the Norwegian steamer Ontaneda, now at this port, to take on sufficient coal to enable her to proceed on her voyage from Copenhagen for Balti- more. The Ontaneda formerly was under Spanish register under the same name, but was transferred to the Nor wegian flag last December. On De- cember 28 she left Copenhagen in bal last.
 The steamer was delayed by a suc- cesslon of gales and put in here on Jan. 26 short of coal.
 Information as to why the Ontan eda has been placed on the so-called aom1ralty blacklist has been re- fused by the imperial authorities.

COMMENTS ON MISSION
 OF COLONEL HOUSE
Former French Premier Says It Is Characteristic of President Will
 sons Spirit of Hesitation.

Paris, Feb. 2, 4:30 a. m.-Georges Clemenceau, formerly French premier commenting in his newspaper LHOm- me Enchaine, on Col. Houses mission, which he says seems to be character istic of President Wilson spirit of hestation,' writes: Europe has sud- denly seen a dumb missio onary disem- bark on it's shores for tour of in spectiOn among the com batants He has passed everywhere, appearing and disappearing by turns like the flying Dutchman in the mists of the horizon. He has said nothing, his whole mis- sion evidently being to observe. His task, 1 suppose, is to report faith fully to the President, the conclusions he draws from personal observation as to the balance of force between the belligerents.
 "I know nothing about Col. House." concludes M. Clemenceau, "but the fact that he has been chosen for this investigation by the first magistrate of the American Republic leads me to infer that he has at least the qualities of observation and good sense. This is enough to satisfy me as to the re- suits of his investigation.

NEW HAVEN ROAD TO
 TRIM INDEBTEDNESS
frcsident Elliott Says Resources Will Be Used As Much As Possible
 for That Purpose.

Boston, Feb. 7.-The indebtedness or the New York, New Haven and f1artlord railroad company, maturing May l, is to be reduced as much as possible from the resources of the company and the remainder renewed upon the best terms Obtainable. ac- cordlng to a statement of the action or the special finance committee of the directors made public yesterday by President Howard Elliott. The in deptedness consists of $27,0OO,0O0 one-year five per cent. notes. Presi- dent Elliott says that as the report of the Massa chusetts public service commission ordered last year to in vestigate the roads financial affairs is expected in the latter part of Feb ruary, it seems unwise at present to attempt to make a mortgage and issue bonds to take up the notes.'
 It is hoped,' says the statement that the report will contain recOm- 1nendat1ons that will enable the leg islature to take any action necessary to remove any doubts as to the legal status in Massachusetts of invest ments of the company made by and under lawful authority of other states.''7
 The committee, continues the statement, also considered the advis- ability of recommending an increase in the capital of the company by an issue of the preferred stock, but concluded that it is not best to ask the stockholders for action on any such plan prior to May 1, although they feel that the stockhol should give to this method of raising money their careful consideration so that debts may be paid and needed improvements be made promptly No amount of new stock has ever been determined upon and the report that s75,OOO,O0O or any other amount was to be raised was without foun- dation." The statement says that the total debts paid and new money put into the property in the last two and one half years, was S12,O56,716 and that during the next few years much more than this sum should be spent for additions to the property.

BOMB RUMORS ALARM
 SUBWAY PASSENGERS
New YorI<'s Underground kaiiWay System in Darkness sunday NiShC as Result of Short Circuit.

New York, Feb. 7.-Train service was halted in the subway twice with ip twenty minutes last night and New Works underground railway system was in darkness as the result of short circuit in a cable box at the Grand Central station. Thousands of passengers with rumOrS of bomb plots fresh in their minds, became alarmed, but the lights were off only q, few minutes and the guards eXperi- enced little difficulty in preserving order.
 While the accident was not un- usual it followed upon the heels of a general police order for patrolmen to guard subway entrances and exits and search all suspicious persons carrying suit cases or bundles. As a conse- ouence it caused fear \that some thing serious might have happened.
 While a rumor persisted that the extra police guard was ordered as a precaution against. the carrying out of a suspected plot to blow up New York's underground and elevated railways, the police themselves treat ed the report Hghthly.
 In authoritative sources last night it was said the placing of extra police guards at the various stations and

GRAIN AND ALFALFA
 HAY FOR THE LAMBS
Grinding Not Profitable Under Present Conditions, ACCord-
 ing to Nebraska Station.

Experiments conducted at the Ne braska Experiment station during the last winter indicate that the grinding of grain and alfalfa hay for lambs is not profitable under present condi- tions. While lambs fed a mixture of ground corn and ground alfalfa went on full feed quickly, cleaned up their feed each meal, and remained thrifty and vigorous throughout the entire feeding experiment, their increased weight was put oA at cost consid- erably higher than that of lambs fed shelled corn and whole alfalfa hay. The difference amounted to practically S1 on each 100 pounds gain. The same striking difference was notice able in comparing lambs fed on ground corn, ground alfalfa, and corn silage and those fed shelled corn, whole al falfa, and corn silage.

 T kept getting worse all the time, would be so very nervous, that, at times, I'd have nervous chills. Couldn't rest we'll at night, for some time. l suffered great pain in stomach or lower abdomen, hips, left side, and back. also had a dull headache. could hardly do my work at all, could only drag around all the time, and finally for weeks l was confined to my bed and suffered great agony all the time.
 Mrs. -, of Boyd, recommended that l take Cardui. l began using 1t and when I started on the second bot tie, I could see that I was getting whole lot better. After using the third bottle, felt I didn't need any more medicine whatever. I never had an- other nervous spell after taking the Cardui...

First Guide to Beauty.

By singing, and by singing only, a little child of five may come in con tact with pure and perfect form of beauty. Not only that, but the child can reproduce this beauty entirely un- aided, and in the process of doing so it's whole being-body, mind, heart, and soul-is engaged. The song. for the moment, is the child There is no possible realization of the little per sonality comparable to this. Here ill sounds, is that correlation of impulses in which the stars move; here is the world of order and beauty in minia
 ture; here is a microcosm of life; here is a talisman against the cold un- meaning facts which are driven into ,hildren's brains to jostle one anoth. ar in unfriendly companionship. Through this they can feel a beauty and crder and sequence which their minds are incapable of grasping. The icy which child gets in reproducing
