MAY ABANDON NORWICH
 WESTERLY TROLLEY LINE

Robert W. Perkins, receiver of The Shore Line Electric Railway Co.,, sald Wednesday that it is barely possible that the section of trolley road between Flanders Corner of Crescent Beach, via Nianac, may be dismantled this fall and the material sold as jr9a.
 MT. Perkins says that this section of track, about five miles in length, was included in the court order issued some time ago permitting the abandonment of this line, but in view of the need Of this line for the accommodation of Nj antic / people and the summer visitors at Crescent Beach he has tried to keep it in operation on a satisfactory ser vice basis. He says that at the present time he believes that this line is about breaking even but he does not see how it is going to earn expenses when the summer season ends. A check-up to be made shortly will determine what shall be done.
 As to the Westerly-Norwich line MT Perkins says that is a losing proposi- tion and may have to be abandoned The Watch Hill and Pleasant View and Weekapaug branches out of Westerly are paying expenses at the present time, but duing the winter months are absolutely non-paying.
 The line between Norwich and New London and from State street to Ocean Beach are said to be the most produc- tive lines formerly operated by the Shore Line, but these are owned and operated by the Connecticut Co.,, on a satisfactory basis.

GOOD MORNING JUDGE"
 AT THE DAVIS THEATRE

Good Morning Judge, sparkling mu- sical comedy which played for two years at the Adelphi theatre, London, and for six months at the Shubert theatre i'll New York, was seen Wednesday evening by a large sized house at the Davis theatre. The production, which is founded on Sir Arthur Wing Pineros farce, The Magis- trate, was replete with catchy song numbers, novelty dances and witty lines.
 As Horatio Needles, Magistrate, Shep Camp ekpt the audience in 8 continual stir with his original humor. He and Gene Laymon as MT. Burridge, Chief Magistrate, were show all in them selves. Clyde Dilson appeared in the role of Hughie Cavanaugh, Meeble's step son. whose youthful escapades led fat Mir Needles a merry chase while the stout magistrate was escaping from a raiding squad of police, and resulted in Mir Needles unknowingly sentencing his wife and sister-in-law to jail Like all musical comedies the ending was happy one.
 Sue Parker was exceptionally well cast as Joy Chatterton, Hughite's mu- sic teacher with whom he was in love Lillian Lne Anderson was seen in the role of Milicent Needles, wife Of the magistrate.
 The Blue Bird Trio, all singers of ability, were roundly encored as was Hughie in the song number, Swinging Doors Other song numbers of excep- tionaI merit were, Oh, That We Two Were Maying by Millicent and Horatio Meebles, Am So Young and You Are So Beautiful and One Night.

tons of newsprint paper was effected by the change and as the new books are smaller and lighter they can be more conveniently handled and it Is quite possible to give these smaller books a more durable binding.
 The telephone districts are Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury and New London districts. All the exchanges of the Hartford District, for instance. are in the Hartford District book and all New Haven District ex- changes are in-sthe New Haven Dis trict book and so on through the list.
 The largest exchange in each dis trict is given first position in the re- spective district books. This should prove a convenience to the greatest number of subscribers in each dis trict, as the listings in the largest cities approximate one-half the total in each book. Following the largest exchange the other exchanges in each district are arranged in alphabetical order.
 The delays in getting out the new telephone directories were numerous. First the impossibility of securing pa per for a statewide book delayed the commencement of the work. Then paper in smaller rolls than used for the larger book, was secured and the district books were put under way. Delays occurred in printing, then came a delay of three weeks during which the foundry of the establish ment doing the work was shut tight and electrotypes could not be made from the page casts. With the books printed, delays came in the binding process due 70 machinery trouble fol- lowed by some further delay because of transportation difficulties.

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence
 Over Rheumatism

Mr. James H. Allen suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work.
 He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study. that no one can be free from rheumatism until the ac- cumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body.
 With this idea in mind, he consulted physicians, made experiments and final ly compounded prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system.
 He freely gave his discovery to others who took 1t. with what might be called marvellous success. After years of urging, he decided to let suf- ferers everywhere know about his dis covery through the newspapers.
