TO TEST MILK LICENSE
 LAWIN SUPREME COURT

Milk dealers throughout the state are interested in the decision of Judge Walter D. Makepeace of Waterbury who has decided in the district court that the law enacted at the 1919 ses- sion of the legislature making it compulsory for milk dealers to secure a license to deal in milk, is uncofsti- tutional, was arrested and fined, in the city court, and an appeal was taken to the district court, which resulted in Judge AIakepeace declaring the law unconstitutional he handing down his decision Wednesday.
 Thomas Holt, state dairy and food commissioner said Friday that the matter will be taken to the supreme court for a final decision as it is his opinion that the law is constitutional and that it was enacted by the legis- lature for the protection of the pub lie. Commissioner Holt added that previous to the arrest of MT. Porter he had a consultation with Attorney General Frank E. Healy and that the attorney general advised to proceed with the prosecution.
 The attorney general said that he did not care to discuss the matter until it had been definitely decided 1 prosecution in this particular case, and that it was his opinion that tht 1 law was constitutional.
 Charles G. Root, who appeared 1T the district court for MT. Porter, de clared that the act was unconstitu- tional, and that if it was allowed tc remain on the statutes books it would mean that the office of the attorney general would be turned into eo4ec- tion agency.
 Under the law milk dealers are re- quared to secure bonds for an amount to be fixed by Commissioner Holt. Ii the milkmen fail to pay the dairymer or producers suit can be brought or the bond Dairymen and producers have been considerably interested ir this act. as several dealers have sue ceeded in securing quantities of milk and not paying for it.

Maxtine at pavis Thursdax.

Announced as the biggest popular success yet produced by the Messrs, Shubert, Maytime a genuine drama tic and musical novelty, by R1da Johnson Young, with music by Sig mund Romberg. VII be seen for the first time at the Davis theatre Thurs day night February 18th. To those who keep posted on the more impor- tant theatrical events, Maytime is by no means an unknown quantity. News of it's exceptional worth as a distinctly different" entertainment has already travelled far and wide from New York. where it was seen and heard by over a half million pat ronS during a record run of two years, In Chicago the vogue of May@ time for six months rivalled the pat ronage accorded it in New ' York. oBston found it equally delightful It ran for five months in that city. Ger tain it is that Maytime in nowise re-, sembles any recent musical offering. In fact, it marks a real innovation in stage fare. All Of the scenes are laid r on Manhattan Island and the action, starting in a Washington SquaEe garden in 1S40, carries on for almost a century, reaching the climax jn
 the busy times of today. The fact that each of the four eras depicted- 1940, 1855, 1880 and 1919-are aecu- rately reproduced as to costumes and manners makes for Q picturesqueness in staging Maytime that will delight the jaded theatregoer. Seat sale tos morrow. Box office open at 10 a. m.

Breed Theatre.

The beautiful May Allison in The Walk Offs, comedy in satirieai
 mood of New York society, will be
 the feature attraction at the Breed
 theatre today and Tuesday. The pro-
 duction has been made by Screen
 Classics, Inc, from the big Broadway stage success by Frederic and Fanny Hatton, which was produced by Oli=
 yer Morosco. The action of the play
 takes place in and about the homes
 of wealthy society leaders in New Y ork city and in the studios of those who are more interested in art for
 the sake of diversion than for itself. A magnificent divorce court scene
 with it's setting and action carried through in satirical vein is one of the earlier and most amusing, scenes of the production. The play is said to give May Allison a chance to appear to the greatest advantage. In the character of Kathleen Rutherford, a young society woman, she is sought by a wealthy bounder of society and a young Kentucky mine owner. She understands the one but does not
 love him; the other is from a world that is strange to her and the TO-
 nance that results is tense and abs l sorbing. Other pictures on the bill
 include She Loved Nut, Mack Sennett comedy, and the Pathe News ,.

uno de. los rasgos de nuestra epoca.
Ell hecho es indudable. Obedece di-
versas causas intelectuales, morales y
econ6micas. Ell desarrollo de los CO.
nocimientos ha permitido estudiar me-
ior la multitud de cuestiones que Sc
relacionan con la infancia: ell desen-
volvimiento de la mentalidad del nj
no, la formation de su caracter, las
etapas de la evolucion ffsica, las po-
sibilidades de la educacion. Ell COMO
cimiento es de por 81 "asociacionista" .;
un conocimiento conduce otros, y
van asi relacionandose los datos ad-
quiridos. Pero ell saber tiene; ademas,
la virtud de despertar ell interes ha-
cia los objetos del conocimiento, en-
la doble forma de la curiosidad y del
amor. Cada saber es un estimulo
para la adquisicion de otros, y un
Hamamiento que presenta nuestra
sensibilidad las cosas que va alum
brando la luz intellectual. iVirtud di-
vina del conoeimiento que no Sc con-
tenta con iluminar, sino que enciende
la llama cordial!
Tambien en- la atencion creciente ha-
cia la infancia iniuyen causas mora
les. Sc ha afnado nuestro poder de
emocion, nuestra sensibilidad ante el
dolor, nuestra compassion haciat los
debiles. Ello no es fruto de ,doctri-
mas, sino acumulaci6n de herencias
que han lido alejandonos cada vez mas
de la rudeza y barbarie primitivas.
r Es este ell verdadero tesoro de la HUI
manidad, 10 mejor del legado de las
generaciones, la base verdadera de la
civilization. Al mismo tempo apre-
ciannos, mejor que nunca Sc ha apre-
, ciado, la gravedad que tiene ell traer
seres la vida; la responsabilidad que
con ellos eontrae, por solidaridad, la
generation que los We nacer y de la
cue nan QG ser uef0u0rOS.
Ell factor econ6mico, presente en-
todos los fen6menos sociales, actIa
tambien en- este nuevo estado de es-
pfritu respecto a la infancia. Ell or
den de los valores economics ha ido
modifcandose Y transformandose en-
ell curse de la Historic. En- nuestro
tempo, ell primero de los valores eco
nomicos es ell hombre mismo, por su
capacidad de trabajo. La terra, la
riqueza mobiliaria, y no digamos los
objetos preeiosos, que son La mani
festaci6n alegorica de la riqueza, Sc

porque el trabajo es el Instruments
para la conquista de todos esos bic
