MANY DENOUNCE
 ''H0ME RULE" BILL

Glasgow, April The govern ments Home Rule Bill for Ireland was denounced by Joseph DevIin as a ''humbug to throw dust in the eyes of the people of America and else- where" in a speech he delivered here recently. MT. DevIin declared that it was not a bill for Home Rule nor a plan to settle the Irish question, but for the permanent division of Ireland into two sections. The best thing the government could do, he said, was to drop the bill, resign office and '1et the enlightened judgment of the Brit ish electorate give Ireland what she wanted.''
 T. P. O'Connor called the measure "an outrage and an insult" and said that "a more impudent, arrogant, in- sulting, lying proposal was never made by any body of men in the world" He characterized the action of the government in suggesting a repeal of the Home Rule Act of 1914 as a 'more perfdious breach of treaty than the Germans breach of treaty with Belgium' '

LOCAL GIRL IS
 NOW AT POLES

Hazel Washburn, member of the duo Harmon & Washburn, appeared at Polfs theatre yesterday. It was her first appearance in vaudeville in Bridgeport and she nearly had stage fright, although she has been ap- bearing in the Ziegfield fo1ies for two seasons.
 "I saw my mother in the audi ence," the blond haired statuesque member of the team told one of the theatre attendants land my voice went right down in my throat"
 It was the first time Mrs F. P. Washburn of Cannon street has had an opportunity of seeing her daugh- tef's success and the applause that greeted the act was evidence that she had made good in Bridgeport as well as elsewhere.
 Miss Washburn has been in photo plays, having been seen recently in Moral Suicide and other Fox and World Film features.

COMB SAGE TEA
 INTO CRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Re- stores Its Natural Color and
 LuStre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation improv- ed by the addition of other ingred- tents a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as 'fWyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,'' thus avoid ing lot of muss.
 While gray, faded hair is not sinful we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one >can tell, because it does tt so natural ly, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disal peared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and 1uxuriant and you appear years youRger-AdE.

LYRIC ReviewN

Throughout it's long run in all parts of the country, and Europe that popular comedy of youth Peg O. My Heart was never accorded a more enthusiastic reception than given it by two large audiences at the Lyric theatre yesterday. The production has lost none of it's fes lures and as interpreted by the yer satile Poh Players it seemed to have increased in interest.
 Mary Ann Dentler as '@Pes" disnIaU- ed her talents to perfection. The role was not new to Miss DentIer, who starred in 1t for two years while en tour and also acted as understudv TOT baurette Taylor for whom the play was written. In the present yer slon Miss Dentler introduces several original lines which go big w;t,, her auditors. Jack McGrath is also ex- cellent in the role of AIaris'' Pegs, cousin, who proposes in the hope of being refused. Arthur Chatterdon as
 Jerry the only friend "Peg' will own is his usual debonair self and carries off his share of the honors. Mabel Griffith portrays the part of Mrs. Chichester to perfection.
 A word must be said for the new 1ngenue Rose Ludwig and the new heavy man Samuel Lemuel. The latter has not enough to do to real ly display the things said of him but Miss Ludwig was an immediate favor1te Both are direct from New York, as the butler who disnIavs . dignity he does not feel Arthur CrifN fen is there in every way. Althougb the role appears insignificant it is almost as important to the shccess of the play as the leading part. The play is good one to which the PoH Players do ample justice.

LOW MENTALITY
 IN DELINQUENTS
Many Wayward Children Are Also Backward
 in Glasses.

l Hartford, April 6.-Dr. Herbert M Diamond, assistant secretary of the | state child welfare commission. said i today that in his investigations con- cerning the juvenile delinquencies 1 throughout Connecticut, he has found ! that in the majority of so-called de- linquents, there is to be found an ac- compartment of low mentality pr. Diamond declares that such children
 are usually backward in school, and fail to be promoted because of this tow mentality. Often times they be- come discouraged and lose interest
 in theif work, and then fall into idle ness.
 Of the hundreds of delinquent chil-
 dren in Connecticut, it has been
 found that idleness led many of them
 to commit deeds that caused the
 courts to send them to state insti-
 tutions. The child welfare comrnis- sion is making a report to present
 10 the next General Assembly on the subject of delinquent children.
 Federal Investigators who have studied the conditions of juvenile de- inquency in Connecticut have re- ported the following, as given out by Dr. Diamond today:
 Many children are placed on pro-
 baton with the idea that it is possible for the probation officer to keep such sub-normal children out of trouble in the future. Almost without excep- tfon the probation officers complain that cases are turned over to them in Which it is hopeless to expect inn provement. The efficiency of the pro- 'bation service in the state is lowered by loading up the officers with number of impossible cases After rCh lz G-s
 to commit these children to the Con necticut State School for Boys or the Connecticut Industrial School for Girls. The task of conducting such school is difficult at best, but it is rendered much harder by the pres ence of boys and girls who are sub normal mentally and who are a con- tinuous source of trouble within the institution. There are to be found i'll the Connecticut Training School for Feeble minded at Lakeville many children who had been arrested time and again as delinquents before an adequate mental examination proved them to be feeb1e-minded. The fol- lowing case may serve as an illus tration:
 "A girl 16 or IT years old, whose parents died when she was young, "caS ptoSCu HI d pTlNdle 1nSJ1LuuOn and later transferred to a county home. She was still later placed in a private home, where she lived until the house was destroyed by fire Then she was placed with another family and set fire to their house. She be- came frightened and tried to ex- tinguish it. A little while afterwards she set fire to a barn, which was completely destroyed. She was un- truthful and told weird stories about these fires, but finally. admitted her responsibility for them. She appar- ently liked the excitement which they created. The girl did not seem dis tressed by confinement in jail and showed little curiosity as to what was to be done with her. She was examined as to her mentality and committed to the Connecticut Train ing School for Feeble minded at Lakeville, where she seems quite happy. Her mental development is that of a child of 11.''

WIND.

wand is fast air. It blows frum the north, east, south or west, depending on W1ch direcktion it w7unts to go. onv you cant always tell by looking at a weather vane, on account of most weather vanes looking as if they are all the time changing their minds
 sometimes a wind is so weak it cant hardly blow dust, and the next nnin11it 1t gets so strong it will blow enything that's willing to blow, espeshiE1y loose newspapers. This proves nobody cant pred-ckt the future.
 Its easy to wawk in the coldest wind wen there's houses or stunt thing Tn frunt of you to stop it, but wen there's nuthfng to stop it exsept jest you, 1t makes a grate diffeents. There Is mutch more wind in wfntir. wen its not necessary, than wat there is in sumrlir, wen it is. This proves its easier to be satisfied with wat you wtF1lt than with wat you get.
 No matter how hard the wind blows it still stays invisible, but wen you see ded leeves and paper and peoples hats living erround in the air, you know It's the wind pushing them. One of the funniest things the wind does is blow other peoples uunbereElas inside out
 Berds have sintch jest setting on the wind with their wings spred out if its blowing the way the. berds wunt to go, wich it genrally is, on account of it not making mutch diffrents to a berd wich way it goes
 Wen people heer the wind making a fearse lot of noise outside, they think its awfill cold out and get reddy to shiye- before they open the fr1nt door. This proves the value of avver- tizement

PLAZA.

Charles Richman, who has per- maps the greatest following among American theatre goers, has added new Iaurels to his fame with his DOT trayal of Judge Graham, in Ivan Abramson's stirring drama, ssThe Echo of Youth,' which is now pIaying at the Plaza theatre.
 From the dramatic critics point of F1ew, MT. Richman's characterization Of man who has through sheer force or will carved himself a niche in so- clal and political heights and who vet IS the Veriest coward when faced by hls partner in a youthful indiscretion IS a most masterly exposition of dra. matci art.
 ''The Echo of Youth" deals with a problem such as only the deepest student of life and it's possibilities and complications would dare to handle and which Ivan Abramson has han died to the utmost satisfaction of the metropolitan critics
 It was only after the filming of this photoplay, was completed, that MT R1chman acknowledged the tre- mendous strain under which he Ia. bored, in order to depict the lights and shadows that Director Abran1so,, demanded from him for the part ne played. Starring together with MT Richman in '"The Echo of Youth are Leah Baird, and Pearl Shepard. and the supporting company includes such celebrities as Marie ShotweIl, Jack Mclean, Howard Hall, William Bech tel and Peggy Shanor.
 A good all around vaudeville bin is playing conjunction with six rec, feature. Harold Lloyd in his sec. ond $1o0,o00 comedy, "Captatp Kidd's," and International News are also shown.
