DOCTORS TO ORGANIZE.
Medical Men in Great Britain to
 Form 8 Union.

According to a letter from London, British medical men have decided to organize on trade union basis.
 The medical men formed a medico- political union shortly before the gen. era1 election and in a few constituencies ran their own candidates, a number of whom were returned.
 The medico-political union at con- ference decided by a large maj ajority to work on definite trade union lines. The relations of the medical men with the local government board in the formers view have been unsatisfactory for some time and with the prospect of the Min istry of Health taking over the functions of the Local Government Board and the national health insurance scheme the doctors consider that the time for defin- ite action is ripe.
 The resolution carried by the confer ence reads:
 That in view of the far reaching changes inevitable in the medical serv- ices of this country consequent on the coming Ministry of Health, it is essen- tial that the profession should be solidly and democraticaily organized on trade union basis to enable 1t to negotiate effectively with the government in the interests of the community, no less than in those of the profession"

THE PALACE.

'Salome," the screening of which re- quired the spending of more than six months of time and a financial outlay running well over a million is the all important feature of the bill for Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday at the Palace. This engagement of the great picture will also mark the first time that it has played to popular prices. Not withstanding the enormous price paid for the playing rights of the picture MT. Poli would not for moment consider any change in the usual price scale at the Palace so local theater goers will see production that has been exhibited elsewhere on the dollar and two dollar scale at popular prices.
 Theda Bara, the far famed imperson- ator of vampire roles, plays Salome and as the sinucus and seductive siren of ancient Ga1ilec scores the greatest tri- unph of 8 screen career that has been nothing but series of successes. The portrayal given by the star in this won- der production represents Theda Bara's interpretation of a character noted in history as one of the worlds most dang erous sirens. As Cleopatra it was thought that Theda Bara had risen to the zenith of her artistic power but it appears to have required the study of Salome to bring the star to the climatic

HOTHOUSE CUKES,
 POTATO CUSTARD
Rhubarb for Pie, Tomatoes and Garlic From Florida, Parsnips
 Plentiful, Potatoes for Seed.

The city marketing agent of the De partment of Agriculture covers consid- erable ground in his weekly potpourri today in The Connecticut Labor Press, gic:ng recipe for white potato custard and then telling how Uncle Sam is to use the raw stuff that was to blow Germany off the map for fertilizer. Be- fore you try the recipe on your range or piano, read about the raw stuff. Over l50,000 tons of nitrate of soda that were to he used for high explosive she'll have and are speeding from IS shipping points to farmers for fertilizer.
 Florida toma'oes and garlic are more plentiful and the tomatoes are 16 cents a pound. Navel oranges are at their best now and in another month they will be replaced by Valencias.

NO LOSS IN OUTPUT.
Silk Mills Week Reduced From .@ 54 to 50 Hours.

A report made after an extended in- vestigation by the National Industrial Conference Board, and just made pub lic indicates that the reduction from 54 to a 50 hour working week in silk mills under observation did not affect the loss in output proportionately to rhe actual loss of time. This report reads i'll part:
 "The evidence indicates that -he point of maximum output in the silk rnanu- featuring industry as whole lies some where between 50 and 54 hours per week Because of the limited experi- ence available with intermediate work schedules, it is impossible to fix that point defnltey. The point of maximum production, moreover, is not the same for all classes of mills. In processes where machinery dominates to an excep- tional degree, as, for instance, in throw ing or in certain kinds of weaving, re- duction of work-hours to even 54 per week has usually involved some loss in output. But, taking the industry as a whole, it may fairly be concluded that the point of maximum production Is somewhat nearer 50 hours than 54 hours per week."

CHILD LABOR.
New Law Goes Into Effect Next
 Tuesday, April 1.

With the revenue bill was signed by President Wilson February 24 there was a rider concerning the employ ment of child labor and providing that no boy or girl under 16 years old shall be employed more than eight hours of any day. The department of labor gave out the statement yesterday that the ruling goes into force April and that on and after this date cognizance will be taken of the observance or violation of the law.
 Should any manufacturer having state, interstate export or import trade. employ miners nine hours day, he will be penalized to the extent of 10 per cent. of his net profits received or accrued for a year. The manufacturers of the state have been making inquiries at the labor department concerning this law, some being under the impression that it had not been passed and others, knowing that the President had signed the bill, were concerned over the date when it was to go into effect.

Reed and Tucker the duo of novelty violinists and the Gypsie Trio in Russian dancing act that is hum mer for action and "pep" are two more acts due to register with Palace audi ences.

5000 people, the deep interest contained in the story itself and then the sensa- tional climax, wherein the piqued and passion-swayed Salome dances madly before a besotted monarch in order to win from him the permission that would give her revenge on John the Baptist, dramatic features of great tensity and power.

BUILDING IN BRIDGEPORT.

Bridgeport, March 28.-Granting nine building permits, aggregating $l08, ,o5O, this week, the building commissioners did the biggest business since the re- strictions were lifted by the war de- partment on buildings. One of the per mits was granted F. G. Frank to build four story apartment house on the west side of Broad street, to cost ap- proximately $70,0O0, while a building known as a service station will be erect ed by the Connecticut Oil Company of Waterbury on Fairfield avenue at an approximate cost of $15,OOO.

point of her artistry.

As a production of the silent drama Salome occupies a place in a class that is not and never will be overcrowded
 There are few productions indeed that have been made on the scale of magnih- cence and lavishness apparent in the staging and producing of Salome. Only such wonderful screen achievements as "A Daughter of the Gods" Cleopatra" and one or two others are to be com pared with the most recent and richest of all master productions.

There are ,hrce factors responsible

opening OF the new Pietsch alleys.

tending to produce larger scores. When
the Newport alleys were desFoyed by

did not have competition. The Pietsch

and the Palace runs share in the re-
