IAN OUTSIDER" FROM
 PEN OF MISS HERNE

Members of the Alfred Cross stock company while bubbling with en-
 thusiasm at the wonderful reception accorded their work in Kick In" are just as strenuously working for the success of next weeks play, An Out-
 sider'' which is from the pen of Miss Julie Hernc, the talented leading ladv Of the company. After much Dersua-
 sion on the part of Kendall Weston director of the company, and Mir Cross, Miss Herne finally gave permis- sion to stage the initial performance
 of her play in New Britain. It is but fitting too that the play of this &C., ss-dramatist should be first staged at the Lyceum for it was on these very boards that Miss Herne made her pro- 1 fessional debut. Despite the fact that | Oliver MOrosco, Billie Burke, Wales Winter, and the Shuberts have "An | Outsider under consideration, Miss 1 Herne is willing that it make it's bow ! in the town she has grown to love.

GRIM WAR SCENES
 SHOWN AT FOXS

Six thousand feet of thrilling films brought direct from the battle fronts by Alfred K. Dawson, the famous war correspondent entitled ''The Bat ties of a Nation" will have it's premier showing in Connecticut at Fox's today and tomorrow. The attack at Lem berg. with the terrible Austrian Skoda guns, the actual bonn bardment of the famous forts of Warsaw, the fall and capture of this fortress and the entry Of King Leopold's victorious Bavar- ians in the streets of Warsaw arc graphically shown. The interior of the great Krupp Iron works where 10000 men are employed, and where the murderous' artillery and machine guns are made are shown in this pie ture which are the only ones ever exhibited on any screen.
 This productios does not put war F. the light of that which is glorious scene where some victims are carried from the field some dead, others sui fering tortures from their wounds Then after the battle some of the in nocent victims and perhaps the great est suffers of all, women and children, carrying their few worldly possess ions are wandering from the utterly ruined villages to parts they them selves seem to know not. Later, still, one sees the Russian prisoners bury ing their dead comrades, These are sights that show what war really means, and they are sights not so soon forgotten.
 There is no doubt concerning their authenticity. To see them is all one needs to convince one of this fact and knowing that they are photo graphs of things which actually hap pened, and are even now happening, makes more thrilling the lombard ment and more grewsome the prone victims, and more pitiable the bewilG~ cred women and children.

TRADING POST TO OPEN.

Mattabessett Tribe, I. o. R.

Any sololst in the company possesses talent enough to provide entertainment for an au- dience. In order that those attend ing may have an opportunity to en- iov all the attractions of the post no canvassing will be allowed within the post. The trading post takes the place of a fair and is peculiarly ap- propriate to a tribe of redskins as 1t was the custom in the old colonial days for the Indians to bring in their skins and other trophies of the chase to exchange at the post with the white traders for articles of civilization. When the Indians Vis
 tied the post the occasion was usually one of merry making, which some

 Whenever I see her cXpending all this energy and tiring herself out Cor whether you realize it or not speaking in loud tones and getting excited does tire you and use up your energy), I think how much good it might do if she used that energy positively in trying to help community conditions instead of negatively in criticising them.

to doing settlement work, or into max ing things pleasant for some of the young people in her neighborhood Q into thinking of pleasant, encouraging things to say to her friends.
 The woman who nags is another type of protest waster. "People are always talking about women nagglng as if they thought they did it De- cause they liked it." says friend of mine. "They seem to forget that the reason a woman keeps on nagglng fS because the man keeps on being late to meals or leaving his things around Or whatever it is she nags about. It's Foolish to Nag Even When You
 Have Reason To.
 True enough. But the reason it is foolish for a woman to nag is not be- cause she doesn't usually have cause enough, but because it is so futile. If she would store up the energy of these daily reproaches and pack it into one big carefully thought-out protest, she might accomplish something. AS it IS she is simply wasting her powers of protest.
 Holding a conviction on any subject of public welfare and merely vaporing about it to others who think as you do, instead of trying to educate those who don't, or getting out and working for it in other ways, is another form of futile protest. Haven't you noticed how often the people in favor of some reform will hold meetings at which the only people present are the people already in favor?
 Hating people for their sins is an other way of wasting our powers of protest. Hate, you know, uses up great deal of energy.
 This is the age of efficiency, and there is an efficiency of protest, as well as of business or housekeeping.
