SUNDAY AT THE PALACE.

Sunday night brings another big double~feature program to the Palace theater with two of the best male stars of the screen in the leading roles. The first is the ever-popular star, William S. Hart, in The Devil's S Double,'' dramatic photoplay, the other being the popular William Desmond in "Barefisted Gallagher" a breezy comedy-drama, in which he enacts the role of a, red -blooded American. Gallagher fights with his fists and does not resort to the usual gun-play. He beats up a wicked Mexican who wields a knife, knocks out the stage driver and takes his place, unarmed, in order to catch a mysterious bandit. The scenes in the photoplay were taken in the San Gabriel Mountains in Lower California and the company had to abandon motor cars and hike IS miles for the location. A new episode of The Man of Night and several other photo- plays will conclude the bill.
 Break the News to Mother"

Laurel Park Program.

Patrons of Laurel park have some thing unusually fine in store for them next week when the managem ent will conduct three big dances, Tuesday, Thurday and Saturday evening. These are the regular dance nights but there will be numerous added features the coming week, including Hatch's aug mented orchestra with fifteen of the leading musicians of Connecticut.
 Every Sunday afternoon there is a band concert at the park, while Sun day evenings the latest and best nov ing picture features are shown. The park is easily accessible by trolley or autom mobile. It is only ten minutes from Hartford by motor and the roads are all that could be desired. Swings, merry rounds and boating are all enjoyed at their best at the park and the restaurant serves only home cooked food.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING.

Rome, Aug. Educational train ing has had greater progress in Italy than almost any other country, ac- cording to the report, after an eX- haustive investigation, made by Miss E.. M. Laws, of Bryn Mawr college, who was attached here to the tuber- culoSis commission of the American Red Cross under pr. w. Charles White.
 Miss Laws in her study of the sit uation shows that illiteracy for the whole of Italy has been reduced from 75 per cent since the present Italian nation was formed in 1870, to 37 per cent today. There were nearly A. 100000 children in the elementary schools of Italy under 12 years of age in 1916, the report shows.

Lively Beach, July something,

Lively Beach, July something,
 and anything but lively. My own dear Joan:
 I am dreadfully unsettled about this Capt. Wallis matter. The more I think over it, the more character less do I feel. Here am I, sufficient ly honest with myself and with my world to set out deliberately upon husband hunt, armored and weaponed, and with courage high
 Yet at the first opportunity to show my courage, to prove my own con- viction that only the foolish woman sits down and waits indefinitely for Fate, I grow frightened at a lot of silly old conventions, and trot meek ly along in the wake of Mrs. Grundy.
 Who would know, and who would care, if I suddenly left here for two weeks ' for a visit in the mountains and went to Forest Valley to help Capt. Wallis out of his difficulty with his publisher?
 1 am an expert stenographer. I CAN typewrite faster than ninety-nine out of every hundred stenogs who earn their living with their skillful fingers. I HAVE a talent for spelling and punctuation and composition.
 In short, I could absolutely solve his problem for him at no cost to myself except the chances of a tittle- tattle gossip from a 10 of silly old people of whom I neither know or care.
 Besides, it is deadly dull here. I have either to tow young Ross about everywhere I go, or spend my even ings talking philosophy and the higher education with the Harvard lifeguard. Here is a sample of con- vcrsation with CD young Ross and CD the Harvard lifeguard:
 "Oh! How exquisite you're look ing this morning Miss Varick-Dor- othy. Please let me call you Doro- thy; it's the sweetest name on earth. Don't let's walk down that way; it's full of people. The dunes path-Ah, please-I'vc just got to talk to you alone minute-Dor-'
 Don't be silly, MT. Ross-no, I won't say Jimmie, we aren't acquaint- cd enough. Why I've only been here three We"
 "I don't care whether it's three weeks or three hundred years. Oh, darn these women-isn't there any quiet place we can go to be alone?"'
 Yes" I grin, we might follow that bunch out to the golf links. Poets tell us one is never so alone as in a crowd.'
 Don't laugh at me. You think I'm a kid and all that. But I'm not. I'm older than I look. And I've lived more than most fellows my age. Of course a girl like you can't under stand how chap has to knock around-"
 Listen, Jimmie" I at last re- solve to tell him the bitter truth, have it over, and play sister to him --'Listen, Jimmie, I'm not a bit what you think 1 am.

WAR OFFICE NOW POsToFFTCE.

CobIenz, Aug. 2.-American soldiers employed in the United States post office in Coblenz, have been sorting mail in school rooms which during the early days of the war were used by the then German emperor for hold ing councils of war with his chiefs
 Soon after the beginning of the war in 1914, the emperor was in Coblenz several months, spending several hours each day with army generals who were then using the school house as an army headquarters. The school building is near the center of the town and several large rooms on the first floor were taken over for the army postoffice a few days after the Am ericans took over the Coblenz bridgehead last December.

things she doesn't mean, and l knew that her little Daean of praise came from her heart. I could not resist snatching a last glance at my mirror as | left the room, and my vanity thrilled to the thought that, whether or not katie's prediction as to 'Joost knocking the spots off, Rita Brown camo true, 1 at least had the satlstac- tion of knowing that my gown was unusually becoming, and that l was looking my best.
 I found an excited group waiting for me when I reached the lawn below. Dicky and Alfred Durkee, in the background, were grinning broad ly with the sheepish air which the most sophisticated men sometimes assume when they have sprung a pleasant surprise upon their woman- kind Little Mrs. Durkee was fairly dancing up and down with glee-she is the most naive, childlike soul when she is pleased of any woman l know while Rita Brown and the Fairfax girls plainly betrayed their pleasur able excitement.
 "Oh, Madge!' Mrs. Durkee caroled. You never can guess what these reckless boys have brought home"
 "Ill grant that at once,' I returned smiling. I'm probably the most wretched 'guesser' in the world"
 Come along, then: we'll lead you to it." Alfred Durkee announced gayly, offering his arm with grandiose courtesy.
 A False Note.
 ''Get off the reservation,' Dicky act as if this were all your own sur prise. Remember, the thing is half mine. Indeed, I think I paid $2.49 more than you did on it, at that. I'll exhibit it to my own wife, my own self, IF you please.''
 What wonderful devotion!' Rita Browns laughing words held a pal pablo sheer. '"Why don't you blind fold her so that the full glory of tho once?''
 Her tone and manner were the acme of feminine cattishness. In clever, subtle fashion they belittled the surprise the men had brought, the fuss that was being made over if, and Dicky's anxiety to show it to me. I felt-and was furious at myself for allowing myself to be affected by the girls airs-that we were acting like while Rita Brown looked down at us jeeringly from a pinnacle of superior worldly wisdom.

SUPREME COURT AGAINST
REED "B0NE DRY" LAW

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Statues
of "dry"states permitting persons 10
import or personally bring in limit
ed amounts of intoxicants for their
own use we're in effect nullifed by
the so-called Reed bone dry
amendment enacted by congress, the
supreme court held today in an
opinion reversing the federal court
for the southern district Of West
Virginia.
Justice McReynolds. in a dissent
ing opinion. in which Justice Clarke
concurred. held that the Reed
amendment was not an interstate
commerce regulatory measure. but
a direct meddling with state affairs
and as such purely beyond the power
Of the federal government.
The ase came up on an appeal Of
the government from the lower court
decision dismissing proceedings
brought against Dan Hill. for carry
ing a quart OF liquor into West Vir-
GINA for his own personal use as
permitted by the state law. The trial
court held that such transportation
did not come within the meaning OF
the Reed amendment. which, il held.
was intended 10 apply only to actual
shipments OF liquors. The supreme
court remanded the cas- for retrial.
