JOAN THE WOMAN"
 GREATEST OF ALL

A large audience sat entranced at the Russwin Lyceum last evening while the story of the immortal Joan of Arc. as portrayed in the film story. "Joan the Woman" was un- folded on the screen. In Joan the Woman Cecil B. DeMille has pro- duced a wonder film, second to none created since the cinema art was per- fected.
 Gripping, tense, swift moving and deeply emStional. "Joan the Woman" weaves a spell over the audience that carries 1t back to the little town of Orleans, France, in the fifteenth cen- tury. to watch the battles against ox- ternal foes and internal machinations led by simple country maiden. in spired by heaven. While the picture does not follow strictly the text, it loses none of it's charm and is even made more vivid by a modern pro- logue.
 The Maid of Orleans. who will live in the hearts of every true French man as long as the fleur-de-lis blooms, is capably portrayed by Miss Geral- dine Farrar. who first sprang into l fame as a grand opera singer. Miss Farrar is perfect. Her role affords many opportunities for exaggeration but she never strays from the paths of true artistry. Wallace Reeds in- depreciation of Erie Trent Is equally as deserving of commendation The picture is staged on . stupendous scale and for those whose heart strings are grippeds by the magnetism of the silent drama "Joan tho Woman" hos no peer.

Growing Things.

 do not think there is anything more fascinating in the world than to see something alive develop day by day.
 There is a hardware shop in our town before whose windows you will see two or three people standing at al- most any moment. Hardware does not sound like the sort of thing from which such "a successful window dis play could be fashioned. The answer Is as simple as it is fascinating. There arc several boxes in which, in ex- Quisitely neat rows, all sorts of seeds have been planted. Behind them is a miniature chicken run, housing a dozen baby chicks. And everyone in town is watching those seeds come up and those chicks grow. Children Are Best Of All Growing Things. !. In the home where there are chill lren, one does not so much feel the lack of growing things.

MAKE EVERY WEEK BABY WEEK External Vigilance Means Health for \ Future Citixena

Every home in New Britain with a baby in it has a continuous oelebra- ton; no time limits are recognized. The baby monarchs seem to be born with a knowledge of the things that go toward the making of a perfect celebration. They often demand a rousing parade be held in the dead watches of the night. The music &C., companying this pajama march Is weird and doleful without tune or time and is familiarly known by the pleasing title Singing Baby to Sleep."
 When Old Home Week was first proposed it caught the popular fancy and many communities old enough to have wandering sons and daughters called them home to help commemo- rate some local anniversary and have a Joyous time. It was a bee',tiful idea and has been followed by week cele- brations of every known variety
 Last week there were two weeks of the home. One was Navy Week with it's great parades and enthusiasm in recruiting, so vital now, and the other Baby Week, so vital to the future of the country. Both of these great movements maintain recruiting sta- tions. In the navy only physical per lection is enlisted. but in the Baby Milk Station the little recruits are all accepted, each one receiving the care a loving hearted nurse knows so welt how to give. The Milk Station. New Britain's practical means of saving baby life, opened in it's new quarters in the Boys club building. Nearly three hundred people with baby interest in their hearts inspected these rooms, so clean. and white, a worthy place we'll fitted. to care for little citizens.

 There was something infinitely beautiful and touching about that vicarious motherhood.

GREAT NEEDOF ALLIES

NEW YORK, Nov i6-Victory or de-
feat for America, and that means VIC
tory or defeat for the allied cause, de-
pends, in the opinion Of Sir Stephenson
Kent. head Of the British Special Mun-
tions Mission, at present in this coun-
try, on the correct solution Of the ma
tions labor problems. Wholehearted CO.
operation OF labor and capital and the
Government Is absolutely essential to
the success Of the armies, according TO
Sir Stephenson.
The British Munitions Mission, which
came over at the request Of the Amer
ican Government 10 tell how Great
Britain met and surmounted her labor
difficulties where they bore upon the
manufacture OF munitions, has been IN
New York for ten days conferrlng with
employers and members Of val iOus la
Dor organizations The conferences have
been executive at the request OF Pres
ident Wilson. who viii receive a full
report after the mission goes pack to
England but yesterday their confer
ences here being ended, Sir Stephenson
and G. II Baillie, the electrical engineer
with the mission, consented to discuss
some aspects OF the situation as the
Britishers saw them.
Sir Stephenson emphasized that the
mission came over at the invitation OF
our Government. 10 did not come to
suggest or advise, but merely to give
employers and wOrkingmen In tho
United States the benefit Of the expert
ences Of Great Britain In trying to
reach maximum efficiency In supplying
her armies with everything needful and
maintaining those armies at maximum
lighting strength.
First OF all" said Sir Stephenson,

Without the wholehearted cooperation
Of labor and capital with the govern
ment we cannot hope for a successful
issue.
while ] am on This point, let me
say word about what we found In
regard 10 labor in this country. In all
the centers we visited and among all
labor leaders whom we met, we found
nothing but the most loyal willingness
to serve Your country and your gov
ernment ! might say that here in New
York we have found relations between
capital and labor even happier than
elsewhere In the country"
Sir Stephenson then described how
England had met her labor troubles,
referring to the Treasury agreement,
which was entered into between the
government and labor and capital early
In 1915.
"The agreement was perhaps the
turning point in the prosecution OF the
war In our country" he said.
Sir Stephenson declined, for obvious
reasons TO deal with specific instances
Of what this country must do TO meet
her difficulties He agreed, however, 10

most important OF all. in his opinion.

lieve one OF the principal means for

Commissioner Baillle as the technical
expert Of the mission, took up the
question Of American efficiency.
while / have not had sufficient time

ilon plants as thoroughly as / should
wish, he said 81 may say, Judging
from what ] did see, that ] was struck
with the efficiency OF your machine
shops II has been very encouraging
indeed. America Is far better equipped
than any other country TO get out am
munltlon quickly"
The Commissioner also had a few
words about the success IN England Of
putting women In the munition plants.
IN England" he said, 1--WE began TO
employ women because we had come
TO the end OF our man power Here
you have not yet reached the point
where you are compelled to turn TO
women TO get munitions. our expert
ment with women has been a complete
surprise TO every one who had any
thing 10 do with II. Our women have
shown the most remarkable capacity
for acquiring skill after very brief
training and have been willing 20 un-
dertake work far removed from their
ordinary vocatlons. They entered our
explosive factories where they faced
danger as gallantly as our men who
have gone over the top And we have
had explosions in munition plants, too,
one very bad one, and these have
brought home to the women the risks
they were taking. But we have found
no dimlnutlpn In the Willingness OF

after such explosions"
The Commissioner was asked II he
did not think American women would
show a spirit equal to that displayed
by Engllshwomen.
81 have seen the enormous work
your women have undertaken and car
ried out In caring for the wounded in
France, even before you entered the
war;" was his answer.
The Mission held It's final conference
morning In the rooms Of the
Merchants Association The matters dis
cussed had reference TO the effect Of
government work on transportation and
similar lines.
Sir Stephenson said yesterday after
noon that he did not know hov, soon
the mission would sail for home. They
were going to Washington at once, he
said, and their future plans would de-
pend on their talks with President Viii
