COMEDY PRODUCED
 BY AMPHION CLUB
High School Dramatic 0rsani. ZatiOn Scores Stage Success

Adam and Eva" a three-act com edy was successfully presented by the Amphion club at the senior high school auditorium last evening. The play, while not as heavy as the last produced by this organization, call ed for several marked characteri2a- tions whichc were well carried out by the cast of ten players. The play deals with a much-abused head of the family. who leaves his business manager in charge of his household while he is away, the business man. ager faking the fathers ruin and putting all the parasitic relatives 10 work.
 Adam Smith, the business manag- er was played by Howard Hausman who we'll portrayed the diffident and awkward man of the "open spaces suddenly set down in high society. Miss Elizabeth Hance, as Eva King. younger daughter of the household, made striking success In her first appearance in an Amphion club pro- Auction. Bliss Clark portrayed the temperamental, profaning head of the King family to perfection his huge frame and voice dominating the stage when he gave way to his outbursts. Robert Christ, as the ef- terminate son-in-law who blossoms into a snappy clothing salesman, and Miss Elva Mckirdy. as his luxury loving wife who later becomes far merette, played we'll Individually and paired off finely.
 Edward Rogin carried much of the comedy burden as Uncle Horace, the ailing invalid who turns life in- surance agent. Miss Marion Schill- ing injected g touch of pathos as Corinthia, the maid who loved Adam vainly. Mark Robinson as pr. Delamater and Miss Ruth Hatch as Aunt Abby did good character work In minor roles. The hit of the show. however. was Philip McBriar- ty, who, as Lord Andy, played an- other of the comic roles which have made him one of the clubs most popular players. while he did equal ly well when his part turned tragic at the end of the last act.
 The players went through their paces without a hitch and seemed to be living their parts, refecting much credit upon the directorial work of Miss Amy Guilford. The play will be repeated this evening under the auspices of Marthta chap ter, 0. F. s.

PARCEL POST IN
 NEW HOME APRIL 1.
Court Street Building Open for
 Inspection Next Monday

Postmaster II. F. Erwin announced today that the new parcel post sta tion on Court street has been com pleted and furnished and win be open to public inspection on Mon day. The post office will move Its parcel post business or at least a portion of 1t 10 the new building so as to have that portion of the work handled in the new local by April 1.
 The new station, which is a two story brick building Is owned by A. A. Mills, It will be occupied on the second floor by the New Britain Typesetting company and on the street floor by the U. S, Postal de- partment, The front entrance is on a street level and the front of the building Is furnished with large plate glass windows.
 Inside is a spacious lobby sep arated from the working floor by a steel wire mesh partition. On the right of the entrance is wire en- closed section which will contain the c. o. D. department, with es- pecial references to the hold-over packages which are mailed for fu- ture delivery.
 The station will have 2,4oo square feet of floor surface. In the rear of the work floor is vestibule for leading and unloading trucks, which covers 12x2S feet of space. There are two large sliding doors, each door large enough to permit loading or unloading of two trucks each, which open truck high into an open space for vehicles.
 Nothing but parcel post will be handled at the new station. Stamps will be sold there and money or ders for payment of c. o. D. pack ages. Two large automatic scales have been provided for weighing packages.
 Twelve portable cases for pack ages have been secured so that the entire case may be wheeled out to a truck and save handling. Two fac- tory trucks and 22 bag racks have been provided. All equipment comes from the Corbin Cabinet Lock plant
 The new station or branch post office will be managed from the main office and according to Post master Erwin will be handled on the minute saving basis" with the idea of increasing the efficiency of the malls.
 The moving of the parcel post business away from the main post office will make 1t possible to handle mail with more expediency at the latter place, according to postal of- ficials. Under the present system 1t is necessary to send all packages down into the cellar through a chute, where they are sorted and carried upstairs in hampers. Under the new system this rehandling will be done away with.
 This also will permit the mai carriers to be brought down to the main floor, instead of being on the mezzaniue floor, thus eliminating the necessity of carrying all first class mail upstairs and again back to the first floor.

IRISH PEOPLE IN MUCH DISTRESS
Economic Conditions in County
 Glare Reported Bad
By Tho Assoclated PresA


 Belfast, March 2S.-A depressing picture of the conditions in County Clare was drawn by Colonel George O'Callaghan Westropp. Irish Farm CTS union leader, at conference here last night.
 The cattle were dying by the wholesale, he declared. 4S6 head, valued at 10 pounds each, having succumbed in two months In one dis trlct. and all the sheep were all ready dead, with no livestock left in two large townlands.
 In two other townlands, covering an area 80 miles long by ten miles wide, the people had lost 80 per cent of their livestock and they were liv- Ing on what they could find, eating even dried leaves. The traveller could not journey along the roads without meeting two or three fu- nerals daily.
 "The people are seeing black" the colonel said. Tomorrow they may see red and then God help lreland.
 Dispatches received in the United States late In January said a poor harvest, including the failure of the potato crop, and the lack of peat were causing general distress in the west of Ireland. The cattle and sheep were said to be suffering be- cause of the wet season. excessive rains and floods washing away the turf.
 Members of the Free State gov ernment issued statements saying talk of a famine was unjustified, but admitting that the widespread distress in the western counties was abnormal. Relief funds have been forthcoming from the Free State government as well as from Ameri- can and British sources.
