ton by a number of prominent

then launched into a characteristic
assailment Of the long debate to be
heard in the United States Senate.
Tells Joke on Self.
Gen. Dawes then told a joke on
himself A startled expression spread
over his face when he was presented
with a bouquet for his wife by Mrs.
f. s. Brashears and Mrs. John Muir
head
Mrs. Dawes will douhly appreciate
these flowers" he cried. To-day is
her birthday and l forgot all about it.
Gen. Dawes lauded the achievement
OF the Ham1ine congregation in erect
ing the new church
Bishop Mcdowell, who presented
Gen. Dawes to the audience. pointed
out in a brief address that the
strength of the church lies in the in
dividual member. You can't make
a real church out of q group of no.
bodies" he declared. The converse
of the maxium also is true: The
strength of the individual is in the or
ganization of which he IS part.
II am not interested in denomina-
tionaI distinction" he said in allud-
ing to the splendor of the new Ham
line Church. "but l am exceedingly
proud of this new instrument for the
service of God"

SLIGHT RALLY
Marks STOCKS
BY International News Service


NEW YORK, March 16.The
railroad and motor stocks were
leaders in a. moderate rally OF
prices in early trading today.
Nothing more than the pro
fessional churning around of the
speculative leaders occurred in this
period, however, and the develop
ments since yesterday afternoon
including the marking up OF the
Katy, preferred, dividend from 5 to
s per cent and the new progress
in the Southwestern railroad mer'
ger, failed to stimulate very much
outside buying.
General Motors, Hudson and
Stewart Warner were turned over
quite rapidly In the first hour, in
the course of which they rose on
professional trading about 2 points
each. The Missouri, !. Kansas, Texas
stocks, common and preferred
gained about a point at the open
ing. -
Bearish selling in Ward Baking
b Foundation Company and other
specialties encountered little re
sistanoe and prices in some or these
stocks pursued, a downward course
IN the second hour. United States
steel and other OF the high-grade
dividend stocks were sluggish anc
unable to hold their opening gains
Lower commodity prices and an
irregular foreign exchange market
were handicaps for the bulls.

THE BIG PARADE
 GREAT WAR STORY
Height Of Realism in Film at
 Parsons Theater
(By Herald ReyiewerO

Without question, The Big Parade" which is being shown at Parsons theater, Hartford. this week, is the most splendid film of the World War ever produced by the motion picture industry. That is a broad statement but true in every particular. It has laughter and pathos equally distributed. The plight of the doughboys who left comfortable homes and good jobs and who suddenly discovered them selves assigned to residence in q typical French barn brings back memories of the great conflict; the advance through the forest in the face of a hail of steel from enemy machine guns is the greatest piece Of realism ever filmed.
 There Is something chilingly inn pressive about the scenes of the boys going up to the front from their billets in a French village. In a never ending stream, they wind their way over the soil of France, always forward, up to the battle lines where the enemy is making a new effort to break through. On they go in cam- ions with artillery rushing past at breakneck speed. During the actual fighting, it almost is possible to smell the smoke of battle.
 The cast of the picture is made up as follows:
 James Apperson ...... John Gilbert Melisande ......,... Renee 8dOrec Mir, Apperson ... Hobart Bosworth Mrs. Apperson n,.. Clair McDowcu Justyn Reed ......... Claire Adams Harry ............... Robert Ober Bull .........,...:. Tom O'Brien Slim ..,...........,... Karl Dane Trench Mother . Rosita Marstini
