"One of the perplexing questions be-

Some Way Out of Serious

One ray of hope served to penetrate
the gloom surrounding retirement leg
islation AZ this session today, when it
was learned that some friends in the
Senate of the employees, are planning
to have a resolution passed before
adjournment, which would increase
the annuities of employees already re-
tired by the amount they would have
received under the House bill-but
which would not increase the con-
tributions Of the thousands still in the

Such plan would relieve the seri-
Gus situation in which the retired
workers find themselves in attempting
to get along on the present low an
nuity. and would not adopt perma-

1t was also explained that the meas
ure would be a temporary eXpedient,
pending a more thorough study of re-

Plan Seems Doomed.

While this new plan was put for
ward. it appeared today that any per
manent plan of liberalized retirement
al this session was doomed TO failure.
A report of disagreement was
adopted by the conferees yesterday.
Chairman Lehlbach of the House civil
service committee had not received
copy of that report today. signed by
the Senate conferees. Until he does
receive such a signed report, he is pre-
cluded from making a report to the
House.
1t was reported today that the
Senate conferees are in disa greement
as to whether any conference report
should be made to the Senate and
that at least one of the Senate con-
ferees has stated that he would hold
up any report of disa agreement.
If this position is maintained 1t
will mean that the legislation will die
in conference.

Through he Static

 Static which at times reached | rather alarming proportions and | then died away to almost nothing,
 only to reappear again, carried on a snappy conversation with itself on

 At WBZ the Twilight Sing trio furnished an interesting program of songs of bygone days. This group ably demonstrated its vocal powers and the presentation was admirable Nothing high falutins. just easy well modulated singing. The station behaved itself and threw away the tin pan for the evening, or while we were listening in at any rate. Among the numbers tackled by the trio were Aud Lang Syne," Long, Long Ago" "School Days" Sleep, Baby Sleep" and "Gypsys Warn ing.'

l6 Year Old Boy Is
 Naval Design Winner

Cambridge. Mass, Oct. 7.-(Rl- Sixteen year old Albert F. Bird of Somerville has won a four year scholarship in the department of naval architecture of the Massachu- setts Institute of Techonolgy by his skill in building models of famous clipper ships.
 Birds work ranks with the finest ever done, according to naval archi- tects here.
 The boy, who entered the insti- ute this fall. was discovered by Harford Powel, Jr., editor of the Youths Companion. Mir. Powel, in order to help Bird, established a four year scholarship to be awarded annually to boys interested in tech nical studies.
 Young Bird started making toy ships when he was only four years old. Prof. George Owen has pro- rounced his work as creditable as that of many adult engineers.

1.-THE KICKOFF" AT LYCEUM

iiS iAIS.A-oII Hl hIoGIh
 Athletic George Walsh in his greatest play of its kind "The kick-Off," opened this afternoon at the Lyceum and on the same bill was Lew Tyler's Wives" from the popular novel by Wallace Irwin. In addition, the latest episode of the 'Iadio Detective" serial is being shown.
 "The Kick of" has. an added kick for New Britain people since some of the football scenes were taken with the Fordham var sity team on the field and several local athletes, including Beloin and Johnny Grip are to be seen.
 "The Kick-O Off" Is a dramatic tale of life at college, it's work, its fun. its hazards and it's rewards. It is full of the vim that dominates youth and. of course, the big eli max is the smashing football game when Walsh gathers up the pig skin and makes a most spectacular run for touchdown. The entire picture Is one true to college life and not only Is it's athletic side featured but so Is the social side There also is a mother love theme running through the picture as we'll as a boy and girl romance.
 Lew Taylor's Wives" was orig inally a novel written by Wallace Irwin and first published in the Pictorial Review. Ruth Clifford, that talented young screen actress who has been so popular of late, has the leading role.
