Dame Fortune in her sunniest mood
never smiled upon the Poll Players
with more favors than during the
presentation of that famous society
drama, "The Lion and the Mouse"
which Is scoring a succession of sue
cesses at the new Lyric theatre this
week. Theatrical critics in their sep
arate reviews of the opening perform
ance were agreed that none of the
players have ever appeared to better
advantage and the production itself
came in for a share of the commenda-
ton in all the newspapers.
In the character of Shirley Ross
more, the daughter of the prosecuted
judge of the supreme court, Miss
Warda Howard is in her element.
This is especially true when she plays
the part of detective and not only
secures the evidence which clears the
sullied name of her father but wins
for her the man that she loves despite
parental opposition. Dudley Ayers
plays opposite Miss Howard as the
son Of the man who is prosecuting
Judge Rossmore, and is up to his
usual capabilities. Others in the cast
are equally good and were requested
to respond to several encores between
the acts as a reward for their lalrd-
able efforts.

mand for seats in advance and from
present indications each afternoon

EMPIRE

After playing the part Of a Cana
dian girl in the far Northern woods,
wherein she used furs and dog-sleds
and lived the hazardous life of a
dance-hall denizen, pretty Dorothy
Dalton, the famous Thomas H. Ince-
Paramount star, will appear in a
strong domestic drama entitled, THE
Mating of Marcella," written by Jo-
seph Franklin Poland, and directed
by r. William Neill under the super
vision of Mr.. Ince.
1.-The Mating of Marcella" offers a
decided contrast to "Tyrant Fear"
her previous Paramount release. In
her latest photoplay, Miss Dalton
portrays the role of a modiste's mod
ell who becomes involved in another
woman's plot to obtain a divorce with
alimony. There is a deep love inter-
est and the development of the story
affords Miss Dalton ideal opportuni-
ties for the display of her manifold
talents
AS is the case in all of her photo
plays, Miss Dalton is finely supported
in THE Mating of Marcella," which
will be displayed at the Empire thea
tire today and tomorrow. The players
in this picture are the most important
that have been chosen for her sup
port in long time. These include
Thurston Hall, Juanita Hansen, Will
liam Conklin, Milton Ross, Spottis-
woode Aiken. Donald Macdonald,
Buster Irving and others.

stateS
1.-The line between Hartford and
New Haven was built many years
ago when cars were much shorter
and narrower than now. The advent
of the long, steel Pullman car and
coach has made necessary the widen
ing of tracks in order to provide pro-
per clearance for the operation OF
high speed trains running in opposite
direction. The oVer-hang of the
standard Pullman car is equal to and
under high speed conditions in excess
Of the clearance lines of the new
Santa Fe locomotives. Some of this
work is now being done. It is not
contemplated that the new locomo-
their operation will be confined to the
line of heavy grade, namely, between
Maybrook, New Haven, Waterbury,
East Hartford, and possibly between
East Hartford and Worcester, via the
old New England road, although as
to the latter we are not yet sure.
at was never contemplated that
these locomotives would be used on
the New York Division as this divi-
sion it is hoped will be operated en-
tirely by electric locomotives, most Of
which are now on hand, only waiting
for the completion of the Cedar Hill
yard and the extension of the gener-
ating capacity at Cos Cob so that no
expenditure of money is contempla-
ted, or will be necessary so far as the
handling of traffic over the four
track New York division is concern
ed.
THE line from Maybrook to New
Haven is double track and four track;
that portion of the line between Haw-
leyville Junction and Bank Street
Junction, Waterbury is single track;
from Waterbury to Feast Hartford,
Putnam and Boston, double track. We
have had no difficulty with these en-
gines jumping the track. Two of
them were derailed at Danbury on ac-
count of damaged track"
This Is the complete information as
to the new locomotives, ETC., and YOU
will thus observe that the dispatch
sc mt out from Stamford was COM
pletely erroneous.

WAR LOAVES OF
ENGLAND FOUND
TO SURPASS ANY
After a Test Covering Two
Months Men, Women and
Children Gain in Weight.

London, May %, Correspondence
of The Associated Press) The Brit
ish war bread has been indicated
and endorsed by a committee Of scien-
fists after a series of tests conducted
in the laboratories of Cambridge,
Glasgow and London universities and
in number of factories and hospit-
ais.
The committee finds that bread COM
posedof whole wheat flour mixed with
20 per cent of other cereals is not
only suited to all ages and digestions,
but also gives a higher percentage
of energy"
The loaves used in the experiments
were baked from flour milled under
the personal supervision of A. E.
HUMPHREYS, president of the National
Association of British and Irish Mil
lrs. No precaution was omitted to
make the experiments complete, and
every result was worked out in a
series of tables.
At one factory in Yorkshire, the
tests were applied to group of 20
men, nine women, and two children.
1t was their sole bread supply for a
period of two months and they were
under medical supervision throughout.
In no case did it cause digestion
trouble and in certain cases health
seemed to improve during it's use.
When the mixed bread was tried, on
twenty-five patients suffering from tu-
berculosis it was found that the bread
! was preferred by the majority of the
patients, all of whom had more or
less impaired digestion. Most of the
patients gained weight during the per-
iod they were under observation
The report of the committee says:
THE main fact established is that
the human body can make better use
of the parts of the wheat grain which
hitherto been discarded than the pigs
and poultry to which these rich and
nutrient by-products of milling have
been given in the past. The country
has gained enormously in food and
energy from the compulsory inclu-
sion in the loaf of these by-products.
The gain can be expressed in definite
terms as an increase of 1,70O billion
Galleries of energy on the wheat mil
led each year in this country. or
enough to extend the cereal suply of
energy for more than month"

MINING BUREAU
OBTAINS RADIUM
WORTH $4,000

AS one of the results of an agree
Institute and the Bureau of Mines,
Department of the Interior, to deveI-
OPP a more efficient process for the
manufacture of radium out of the
carnotite ores of Colorado and Utah,
The Bureau Of Mines now has as its
share more than $1S0,0O0 worth of
radium for use in the science. This
was procured for an expenditure Of
less than $4,000. In addition, under
the agreement, the bureau has turn
ed over to the National Radium In
stitute about six and one-ha1f grams
of radium and has given to the coun-
try method for producing pure ra-
dunn compound from the ore for one
third the current price of radium
When the Bureau of Mines began
this work in 1912, it found that the
precious carnotite ore, constituting
the largest known supply of radium
ore in the world, was going to Eu-
rope, mainly to Germany, where it
was being turned into radium and
sold back to the United States at fab
ulous prices. The miners of carnotite
were receiving for their ore just what
Europe cared to give. At the present
time, the miners are getting much,
more money for their ore and the
concentration of radium is being made
in the United States.
At the Golden, Colorado, expert
FHent station Of the Bureau of Mines,
Where great amount of the research
work in radium has been accomplish
ed, curious condition has arisen.
Through the handling of a large
amount of radium at the station it.
seems that the measuring Instruments
and in fact everything in the labor
atory from the walls down to the rub
Der shoppers on bottles, have become
so charged with radium that it is
now impossible to contiue the accu-
rate measuring of the radium. 1t has
become necessary to obtain a room
in one of the other buildings in order
that this work may be completed.
While it is not thought there is a suf-
f1cient amount of radium in the lab
oratory to have physical effect upon
the workers, there is enough to pre-
vent any further work on radium.

NEW HAVEN ENGINES IN USE

Denied That New Locomotives Are
Too Wide For The Tracks.
(From the New York Times, May II,
1879
An ojcial of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railway Company
said yesterday that a report from
Stamford, Conn, published yesterday,
that the new locomotives purchased
by the company were so wide that
they could not pass each other on the
double tracks, was not true. It was
reported among railroad men that the
new locomotives were built for the
broad-gauge Russian railroads and
were so much broader than those of
American type that they could be
used only or single-track branches
and could not be taken into some of
the New Haven stations.
The engines do not exceed the
standard New Haven clearance, and
they can be operated over all parts
of the line for which they were pur-
chased" the official said. "They are
not Russian engines, but engines of
American type, commonly known as
the Santa Fee type. Thirty-six Of an
order of fifty engines have been re-
ceived, and they are operating between

NAVAL 1UG GOES
 DOWN IN S1ORM; 29 LIVES LOST
U. $. s. Cherokee Founders off Maryland Coast When
 Gear Breaks.

Philadelphia, Feb. 27.-Twenty-nine men are believed to have lost their lives yesterday morning when the sea- going naval tug Cherokee foundered in severe gale, 15 miles off the Maryland coast. Ten survivors and
 the bodies of eight other members of the crew of 39 were brought here to- day in two British ships, and landed at the Philadelphia navy yard. No trace of the remaining members of the crew was found. Among the missing is Junior Lieut.. Edward D. Newell, the commander of the tug.
 According to the captain of one of the rescue ships, the steering gear broke during 5o-mile northwest gale, and the little vessel was at the mercy of the mountainous sea. The tug was thrown broadside to the waves, and her matches were battered in. Two rafts were launched, and the crew abandoned snip. The captain said
 he found an upturned boat, and then
