 More difficulty was experienc-a by the Shore Line Company early Tues day afternoon, when a trolley car on the Willimantic-Norwich line sud- denly went out of commission on the Windham road, about fifteen minutesd' walk from this city. The trolley that should arrive in Willimantic at 3s05 o'clock in the afternoon coupled onto the stalled car and lowed it back to Dugway switch and then resumed it's trip to this city, arriving here about S.S5. The. passengers on the north bound trolley when they found that they were to tow the other ear back about mile, got cut and hiked to this city.

 Persons who were forced to wade through the, slush around the platform of the railroad station Tuesday did not have anything pleasant to say about the public service driver who had parked his car directly across the path leading from Railroad street to the station platform. That parking across that pathway is habit with some of the jitney drivers was hint ed at by sereyal persons who stated that some sort of a cemplaint should be made about the conditions at the local station. There should be room enough for the driver of automobiles to park out on Railroad street-swith- out occupying the only space left for pedestrians to get to the station withA out going in a round about way.

T1so5a interested in pictorial and dramat.c beauty, will find much that is exceedingly worthwhile in the William Fcx motion picture version Of Henry Wadsworta 1ongfeIloWS exqui- site poem ,.I5vangeline "a classic the world over--which will be the fea-i ture attraction at the Breed theau4 today and Thursday. {
 First of all must be noted the beau ty Of the production. The land oS AcadIe and the little village of Grand Pre- are wonderfully visualized as are the wanderings of the unhappy Acad- tans after their exile.
 Much credit is due Miriam Cooper for her interpretation of hte tile role Her mobile face reflects every though of the unfortunate heroine. from the happy days in Acadie through the agony CT exile to une. final reunion lH old age wrtn her lover Gabriel.
 Spottiswoode Aitken appears as Evangeline's father, James Marcus as Basil Ine h.acnS.1lIe.l a4lu raul " leGel as Father Felician. R. A. Walsh has certainly gained new laurels by his direction, fthis charming. picture. l That a poetic masterpiece of the del l tcate texture of '.EvangelineD should be adapted for the screen without the sacrifice of any part of it's charms as literature is an astonishing feat and one that places William h'ox sev eral steps further forward in the true advancement of tn motion picture. Charlie Chaplin in Shanghaied and Prizmae will make up the remainder of the bill for tomorrow and Thus day. A special school children's mat inee will be given both today and Thursday at p. m.

Asthma
 Is Dangerous
Folly to pisregard Its Warning. '.

Asthma is not only disagreeable
 affsction but dangerous one. The
 constant difficult thing, the choked
 up air passages. the struggle for air,
 the loss of rest, combine to force a
 great strain on the nervous system
 and heart-often too great strain to
 stand.
 It is, the worst of folly to neglect
 such a condition or to continually treat
 with ordinary narcotic medicines.
 cru gts, inihalersl smokes or douches. winch merely give temporary relief from the choking paroxysms and do
 Rot relieve or correct the real cause Of the trouble. Instead get from Lee & Osgood or any druggist a small bottle of Oxidaze Essential oiD tablets and take one at short intervals whenever distress is felt and one on going ta bed.
 Instant relief is usually felt and in ad- 1 dition the effect of consistent treat ment is to gradually bring about a
 greatly improved health condition as the. symptoms of asthma disappear for. over. Oxidaze is the successful pre- scription of a Worcester. Mass. physi- elan, and it's, treatment of asthma, even in the very worst forms, has proba bly, never been excelled.
 Lee & Osgood sell it and patients find it safe, pleasant and inexpchsi sive | treatment to use.

I'VE asked only for desk room for a

the excuse that the island Is 30 crowded
as TO cause the Department OF Labor TO
consider the exclusion OF all agencies
not governmental is apparently a mere
subterfuge, as the space which two
clerks would occupy there Is negligible.
We did not expect to carry on the work
of Americanization on the island, and
all we wanted there was to obtain the
names and future addresses of immi-
grants so that members Of the Legion
could extend a helping hand to them in
their new homes and perhaps prevent
them from falling under the rotten in
fluences which contaminate so many
immigrants.
