The BUSY TELEPHONE

How often do you call when the
Telephone you want is busyl
DO You know that the time you call
your grocery, that others are calling
and giving their Orders-that retail
crs are ordering from Wholesalers
that freight depOts are notifying their
consignees, and professionals making
their daily appointments. This time,
ii you will note, is between nine and
ten o'clock in the morning. This sit
uatiOn might be relieved If we called
later in the day.
The telephone on party lines should
he used only for reasonable and ne
cessary purposes.

 FEATURE AT FOX'S

"Parentage," that wonderful seven part masterpiece of morality and com- mon sense which turned hundreds of people away from it's opening perform ance at FOX's last night, is nothing short of 8 distinct revelation. It i3 without doubt one of the most re- markable films that has been put be- fore the public since pictures were first made to move. It contains moro
 real food for thought than could be compressed into a dozen volumes, anI it drives home d lesson to every man and woman, married or single, and
 has, too a strong beneficial moral for the younger element. "Parentage' is the film that the world has been wait ing for years for it's theme is ages old. I is a different sort of production for it is a message to the public con- veyed in dramatic form, and it is thoroughly entCrta aiming because it strikes the human note so sincerely. There is not a person who sees it in New Britain who will not be impressed with the beautiful story which Hoba Tt Henly has so intelligently placed on the screen. Into a story that is clean, wholesome and entertaining there IS injected some Of the biggest punches yet put ONCr 1n the nrSL unread or the story a child is born under the handicap of coming into a Ioveless home. Another child is born into quite a different home, where good cheer and happiness readiato. The influence of the two fathers upon these children is made particularly emphatic and the character of the boys unfolding in their home life, in their school days, and in their hours outside of hoOl Both boys fall in love with the same girl, and then is brought out the vital necessity of parents protecting their daughters, and of understanding the motives and ideas of their children and their children's lives Then, while the story develops the punch grows stronger, acting as a setting for the heart appeal human interest and plot development. Every adult will be bet ter for seeing "Parentage", and any child can sec it, because it is SO clean and well directed that it never rffends, but interesting instructs and inspires. It will be shown again today and to- morrow, with several other superior films.

NOTED LAWYER DIES r.. l.. ScOficld of Stamford Fails to Rally From Appendicitis.

Stamford, Jan. 14.--E1dwin Luther ScoGeld, a widely known member of the Connecticut bar, former mayor of Stamford and former state insurance commissioner and member of the legislature, died early today at the Stamford hospital where an opera tion for appendicitis was perform ed on him Jan. 8.
 He was horn here June IS, 1852, a descendant of early settlers of the town, was graduated from Columbia law school in 1873 and admitted to the Fairfield county bar in that year. He was prosecuting attorney of Fair field county from 1875 to 1880 and served for several wears as counsel of the town and former borough Of Stamford. He was a member of the house in 1881 and senator in the fol- lowing session.
 MT. Scotield was a leader in public movements in his native town ana was vice president of the First Ma tional bank of Stamford, president or the Morris Plan bank of Stamford, a director of the Greenwich Trust com - pany and of the Prevalent Assurance Savings society ol New York.
 He is survived by a son, a captain of artillery in the United States army

Young men between the age of 20 just about reached that degree of de- velopment that causes them to war rant a trial in the flight of life, pre- sent a difficult problem for the stu dent of human nature. That is the age when a man finds himself. and learns whether or not he is to be a success in this life or whether he is to be just an ordinary person. All the early years of his life when his des- tiny is being shaped with the assist ance of his parents and loving friends find the supreme test of their useful ness when young manhood steps in and claims him, and puts him out in the world to live and fight with others who are in the world for the same purpose--to make a living.
 That is just the proposition that is found in the motion picture, His Mothers Boy" which heads the pro gram at the Lyceum theater today and Tuesday and Wednesday, with Charles Ray in the leading role.
 His father had been responsible for the sale of stock in a mine that proves worthless, and after his death, the fact that he caused people to lose their money is cast into the faces of his widow and his son. the latter beng of the apron string variety. Re- solved to make good for his fathers sake, this young man goes to the scene of the investments, and inVes tigated the cause Of the mines turn ing out unsuccessfully. We see him changed from a Whirp pcring, half licked boy to a full-grOWn. battling man. We see him prove to the world that he is a man despite himself, and there is some job to perform.
 Imagine Charles Ray in that sort ot role! Well, he is, and at the Lyceum, too. He is the big attraction of the week theatrically speaking, and should prove worthy of having headed the program at the Rialto, New York, last week. Alice Howell in Balloon autics' and other pictures are on the same program.

l. There is nothing in the world so fatal to making an impression on people as trying to make an impres- sion on them.
 There is no trick that a young person who wants to make a success in the social world can better afford to dispense with.
 Nothing takes the interest out of any conversation, makes it seem flat and futile, so quickly as the impress sion that back of all your companion says is the desire to impress you with her chara cter, or her social posi- ton, or her high connections, or her importance to the club life of her town, or whatever it is she happens to be most vain of.
 I really think I would rather hear anyone talk openly about themselves than in this yelled way
 AS If You Were Perfect Fool.
 They have such a snug air of thinking that they are impressing you without your being conscious of their intent to do so. And that inn plies you are a perfect fool.
 I met 3 woman the other night who in the course of half an hours casual conversation managed to in- troduce the facts that she knew famous actor (weI enough to call him BilD that she gave a great deal of her time to helping the poor, that she had had several men want to marry her, and that she had been brought up in a home where there were three or four maids.
 And Everyone Sees Through It.
 Each fact was camoufaged with a show of casual incident, but I doubt if there was one person in the room who couldn't see straight through it.
 Every time I catch myself at this Ooh yes, I do it tool I want to take myself aside and choke myself.
 There is no better way to get rid of this trick than to crowd out this constant interest in yourself by gen. uino interest in others.
 Another way is to simply talk a little less and then you won't be tempted to use yourself for material so much.
 The Bottom of Your Mind.
 Of course it is all right to talk about your own experiences and your own opinion and reactions some of tho time, but the thing to be careful about it that you are not thinking somewhere deep in your under mind, ''Tl1at will show them how something or other I am -
 ] suppose there are many people with whom this thought lies buried so deeply that they don't realize it

BAKER MOD|F|ES
BASEBALL RULING

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 27-Sec-
rotary of War Baker Friday changed
his ruling in regard to baseball players
and the work or fight" order, and the
big leagues will be allowed to run till
September I under the new order.
Baker said:
at does happen that baseball is
more integrated than any other occu-
patton in our country, at least in the
sense that its successful conduct de-
ponds upon the preservation, of all the
major league teams scattered through
out the country while in most occu
pations the work or fight order has
merely series of local and more or
less personal effects"
Mr.. Bakers ruling means that the
worlds series this year will have to
be played before September l. This
will bring about a shortening of the
playing season and also give dope
sters" for the first time in their lives
chance to pick a pennant winner in
July. In the American League the
Boston Red Sox hold a commanding
lead and in the national organization
the Chicago Cubs are on top If both
clubs keep up their present pace, it
looks as though they will meet in the
annual classic.
The ruling means that professional
baseball players of draft age will have
until September l to find essential oc-
cupation or go in the army.
