from the hiding place which all Amer

But at last real hunter took the
trail. Here was no mere singing of
wonderment. Here was the singing Of
determination. Here was one who
went seriously about the business of
suiting the action to the words. Here
was a true searching singer.
This musical gallant was none other
than Oliver E. Carruth, assistant edi-

HEAVY DEATH TOLL
IN NON-UNION MINES

Charleston, w. Va.-Deaths in anti

The department of mines reports so
deaths in November, but the actual
number of killed and injured is un-

Mcdowell county leads the fatality
toll, as it does in the war on trade
unionism. Raleigh and Fayette coun-
ties, also anti-union, maintained their
record.
There is no attempt in these mines
to enforce mining laws. AS workers
are unorganized, and timbering costs
money, the operators increase profits
while drawing on the non-union "la-
Dor supply"

Carruth.
No one knows the whereabouts of
Mr.. and Mrs. Carruth. They took a

from Washington to destination
which they refused to divulge and

The temptation to print picture of
this valiant groom is great, but he
left not even photograph behind by
which he might be trailed to wherever
he went with Sally. He not only
covered his tracks, but didn't make
any.
The temptation, just because he
took away all his real pictures, is to
print instead one Of those "going, go.
ing, gone" pictures which, from aloft
look just about true to life, but un.
less the gone picture were usec
there might be some chance of mis-.
taken identity. Regretfully we go tc
press without illustration. But a,
least it can be explained that Mr.
Carruth once was known to intimates
as "Baldy."
This hero Of the grand conquest has
had other titles, each serving it's pur.
pose for time. There was a time
when he was known around the edi.
torial rooms of New York as "Dea.
CON-" probably because he never was
one.
And because he enlisted as buck
private in the chemical warfare divi-
sion of the late but well known army
he has been called Colonel. What he
is being called right now is nobody

 This amendment, which leaving it generally 10 the treasury and post office department to name the towns where the buildings are to be erect cd and the sums to he spent gives congress a check on the departments by inserting in the appropriation bills clauses making alterations in the estimates submitted by the budget director.
 Ii Is generally agreed that an ad- diuon to the post office building in New Britain is badly needed and i. seems highly probable it will be erected within the next two or three years under authority Of the Elliot Eernald bill.

Players as they return for the an nual spring and summer stock sea- son. Long before the box office opened to receive subscriptions there were hundreds in line and down Gold street that line extended, to the Heublein hotel and there were many to replace those who had made their season reservations at the box office. Reservations may still be made for the season, though a record was made for first day subscription res ervations.
 The seat sale will open next Mon day morning for Easy Come, Easy Go" in which the Poli Players will open their season the week of May IT. The announcement of the per sonnel of this years company is In itself assurance of the success of the 1926 season coupled with the fact that a number of big Broadway suc- cesses have been released for stock presentation. Jay Holly who comes with brilliant record for stock per formance, will be leading man and Mary Ann Dentler, the charming leading lady who captivated Hart ford audiences three years ago, will again be with the company, and of course, no Poli stock company in Hartford would be complete without the ever popular EdQund Abbey.

STAGE HIT SCORED
 BY ANPHION CLUB
High School DramatiStS SuC- CessiuIIy Produce Pair of SiXes'

The Amphion club of the senior high school scored another hit last night with it's production of "A Pair
 of Sizes" well known comedy success which gave the young actors
 fine chance 10 show their ability, Monroe Harwood and Alan Burr, in real life the best of chums for many years, made a great combination as the two partners who always quar-
 relied with each other and finally
 settled matters by having one be- come the others valet. They paired
 off perfectly and shared the hOnors between them through all the vicisi-
 tudes of fortune which came to them.
 Marian Fiebor, as Mrs, Nettleton, showed both action and restraint in handling her part capably, and Jane Rattonbury took advantage of every opportunity given her in the part of Florence Cole. Max Robinson, as the legal adviser of the two part ncrs, was quite master of the stage when he was on it; although he per haps overacted a bit, he was full of confidence and speedcd up the ac- tion considerably,
 One of the features Of the play was the work of Catherine Brown as Coddles. the English maid of all work who furnishes the comedy in the last two acts. In her first ap- pcarance in an Amphion club pro- duction she showed decided ability and kept the audience in a success sion Of roars. Hugh Reid Derrick was the poppy salesman 10 perfec- ton, while Daniel Porter was excel lent as Mir. Anplegate, the some what bowildorcd bridegroom in the hands of the salesman.
 William Haswell made the most Of his comedy part as Krone, the boolEecpor. as did John DeminG in the role of the office hoy A clever of the modern stenographer was given by Eliza beth Barker. Frederic Lockwood handled the shipping clerks part well. Taken altogether, the play was a decided success, especially inas- much as most of those taking part were doing so for the first time, and Mrs. Amy C. Guilford's direction was apparent in the many sldliful touches. Bliss P. Clark was stage manager: Paul Winctts chief ush- or; and Gunrar Carlson, chairman of the candy committee.
 An overture was played by inc 1 high school orchestra under the | direction of George F. Matthews, l and the same organization rendered . music between the acts. The only point which was not entirely sats. factory was the attendance, which was not as large as at past produc- . lions Of the club.
