 The musicians in the Polf. Plaza Saturday nights work, but they did not appear yesterday and will not be on the job tonight, unless the difi- culty is settled.
 The yearly contracts between the operators and the musicians are gen. orally signed by Sept. l. The new one this year called for $27 a week, an increase of several dollars.
 Strikes have been on at the Lib- erty, American, Palace, West End Bijou and Bostwick theatres for about a month.
 MT. Poli said yesterday: \
 '"There was some slight differences of opinion between the Musical union of Bridgeport and myself regarding the matters of time and salaries for the coming year.
 ''The situation which at the present time is susceptible to early adjust ment would probably have been fully arranged yesterday but for the fact that sufficient time was lacking to properly consider the various aspects of the questions involved. =

Lesson in Scientific
 Complexion Renewing

Everyone has a beautiful skin 1n- derneath the one exposed to view. Bear that in mind and it will be cas- fer to understand the correct princi- pie in acquiring a lovely complexion. Nature is constantly she edding the top skin in flaky particles like dandruff, only much smaller in size. Irr abnor- mai conditions, or in advancing age, these particle are not shed as rapidly as in robust youth. The longer they rsmain the more soiled or faded they become-that's- the immediate cause of bad complexion"
 It has been discovered that ordin- ary merco1ized wax, to be had at any drug store, will absorb these worn-out particles. The absorption, while hast ening Natures work, goes on gradual ly enough to cause no inconvenience. In a week or two the the transfor- nation is complete. The fresh, healthy-hued, youthful underskin IS then wholly in evidence. You who are not satisfied with your conplexions should get an ounce of mercolized wax and try this treatment. Use the wax nightly, like cold cream, washing it off mornings
