received some unexpected experl- ence as a result of the storm. The men left yesterday morning for a cruise on the U. s. Fox and were caught in the storm. The vessel was able to ride out the storm but the students did not get back to New Haven until this morning. Street cars suffered the most delay as a result of the storm.
 Autos Stall on Tracks
 The Connecticut company report ed many of it's cars running from ten to fifteen minutes late and sev- eral delays of a longer period caus- cd by automobiles stalling on the car tracks. Considerable trouble from drifts was reported by the mo- tormen running cars on the New Haven and Shore lines.
 While some of the New Haven railroad trains were running late yesterday. officials said the company had experienced little trouble.
 Motor busses of the New England Transportation company maintain ed fairly good time during the storm.
 State Roads Open
 They were aided by the state highway department which was out early with large gangs of men who kept the highways open.
 Captain F. P. Avery, harbor mas ter, said tht all the craft in this vii cinity had come into the harbor be- fore the storm broke. Dozens of coal barges were being lowed up the Sound when the storm broke but it is believed that all reached safety In harbors along the coast.

Coldest December 9th

Boston, Dec 26 R}-New England was recovering today from the first heavy snow storm of the season. Be- fore 1t had spent it's force early this morning after raging for 20 hours, it had caused deaths, delayed railroad and trolley service and tied up shipping.
 With the passing Of the storm, which broke on the coldest Decem- be- 5 in the history Of the Boston weather bureau, came rising tenn peratures.
 20 Below Zero
 The minimum temperature re- corded here yesterday was four above, and the mercury fell much lower in northern New England, Bangor, Me-, reporting 20 below zero. Early today. the temperature had climbed to 30 here and the forecast indicated that it would mount higher.
 The storm left a snowfall of more than twelve inches in this city, and the new s400,000 municipal snow removal equipment was mobilized by Mayor Nichols, and force of 2,o0o men put to work clearing the streets.
 Traffic Is Held Un Both railroad and trolley lines suffered from drifts. While the trolley cars in the city were able to operate close to schedule and railroads maintained suburban serv- , ice with slight delays, incoming trains from distant points were from two to four hours late.
 A strong northeast wind accom- panied the snow, and coastWise ship ping remained in the harbor. The steamer Celtic, due to dock here yes- terday. remained outside the harbor rather than grope her way through the Channel in the binding storm. Two hundred persons who had berthed passage on the steamer were obliged to stay at hotels last night when she failed to arrive.
 List of Tragedies
 A fireman in Everett Mass, died after struggling through the snow drifts. In Meriden, Conn.,, taXicab driver died from a heart attack aft CT a losing battle to keep up serv- ice A brakeman on the Boston and Albany railroad, presumably blinded by the storm, was swept to his death when the train passed un- der low bridge. One man was drowned at Hampton, N, H., when a skidding automobile went through bridge rail into the Hampton riv- CT. At Portsmouth, N. H., snow blinded pedestrian was killed by an automobile.
 Additional deaths were due in directly to the storm, one a fatal motor accident in Connecticut. An other death resulted in the closing of the doors of a garage in Boston and a consequent death from gas poisoning.
 The sixth death directly attribut- able to the storm was discovered this morning when the body of Frank S. Durgin, a laundryman, was found huddled in the doorway of & house in the Jamaica plain

FLA BOHEME" AT NEW PALACE

La Boheme.
 The gay abandon of artists and poets in the Latin Quarter; the effer- vescence of true Parisians.
 The ardent love of a poet whose soul breathes romance-of a maiden whose every thought is poem-a flower of France.
 Hope, grief. despair-and faith that passeth understanding.
 La Boheme"-a story that has thundered down the ages-that has charmed millions, has come to the screen-a masterpiece as always.
 Lillian Gish has given the world t"R Romola," "The White Sister" and other great roles, but she literally is Mimi, waif of the art quarter; wistful idol of poets heart, whose last breath is q VOW of undying love. She is inspiration and happiness. and untold woe. She is the embodiment of the tragedy of womanlind.
 The famous story was adapted from the Henri Munger novel. the original romance, rather than from the opera, which only used an epi- sode in it-and the result Is a story of dramatic power those who saw the opera would never suspect. II grips the audience with its mastery of human emotion. but never for an instant does 1t lose that evanescent spell of entertainment.
 La Bohcme," which opened last night at the Palace to tremendous crowd, will be shown until Wednes- day night It will be shown three times daily, at 3:1O. 500, and $40.
 In keeping with the regular pol icy of showing double feature pic- lures, Tom Tyler in "The Masquer- ade Bandit" is also on the program. This is the first time that La Be- hemc" was ever shown on a double feature bill.
 Although La Bohen1e" played Broadway at two-dollar prices. there will be no increase in the popular Palace prices.

Digging Out Today

New York, Dec. 6 P1North- eastern states from Maine to West Virginia were digging out today from one of the heaviest early sea son snowfalls on record which caus- ed several deaths and seriously inn peded traffic.
 The snow was seven to fifteen inches deep in the more northerly portions of the blanketed area, al though much lighter in West Vir- ginia, Washington and Delaware. It was the heaviest for the season in 40 years here.
 Northern New York suffered most severely. Three deaths were re- ported from Buffalo, though there was no high wind in that part of the state and little drifting of the snow, and roads and railroads were kept open.
 Morotists In Trouble
 The temperature fell to three de- grees at Rochester and the automo- bile club of that city reported 239 calls for assistance from motorists with frozen radiators and cars stuck in snowbanks. More than 100 boats were caught in the ice on the Erie and Champlain divisions of the Barge canal.
 10000 Clearing Streets
 Ten thousand men were working in 12-hour shifts for the street cleaning department of New York city today to prevent general tie up of traffic. Six hundred and sev- enty-seven blows and tractors were in operation, concentrating on the approaches to bridges and ferries, over which the city's daily food supply must come. Most of the railroads suffered delays, some trains coming in more than three hours late.
 Nearly 400 persons were given lodging at the municipal lodging house last night. The Salvation Army took care of GOA men, with about 100 more crowded into the lDDpS Ol us bONtly llolCl, uiiA oeb' V shelter to 200 women.
 The coldest weather reported was at Northfield, Vt, 12 below zero. Caribou, Me, reported 10 below and Burlington, Vt, six. Boston, with four above, experienced the coldest December 5 in the history of the local weather bureau. One death was reported in Boston and one in Springfield, Mass.
 Further South
 New Jersey suffered little delay in motor traffic.
 In Philadelphia the snow was lighter and was followed by sleet. Sudbury, Pa, reported foot of snow Hundreds of deer hunters in Pennsylvania, where the season opened last week, had to break camp on account of deep snow.
 While the entire east from Maine to the Delaware capes is covered with snow, the fall was much light CT south of Atlantic City. The snow was light in West Virginia. Wash ington reported a quarter of an inch with sleet and slippery streets.

The six-act vaudeville bill for Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday in- cludes the New Britain favorite. Dixie Hamilton; Stanley and Wal ters: Dance Vogues; Kelley and Jackson. the St. Onge Trio and Lan- caster and Leming.
 As an added attraction tonight, the Strand will stage in addition to its regular program the first Black Bottom" Contests to be presented in a Connecticut theater. This dance is all the rage in New York city, where contests are being staged in the bigger theaters. The Black Bottom" is the logical successor to tho now fading Charleston.
 On Thursday with the new pro- gram will be shown on the screen a faithful sore version of Gene Stratton Porter's celebrated novel, "Laddie." in conjunction with the regular program of vaudeville.
 The Strand management an- nounces that 1t will present for three days engagement beginning Monday. December 13, Thomas Meighan in his newest triumph, "The Canadian"
 '"The Canadian" by virtue of its bigness, was selected as the picture to follow the opening program at the worlds finest theater, the Para mount, New York.
 From press accounts in the New York dailies, "The Canadian" is just the type of picture that Meighan fans have long been waiting for. Its story is laid in the Canadian wheat fields. where the turn of the wind often means the rise or ruin of the strong men and women who brave the elements in those great open spaces. "The Canadian" will be pre- scented at the Strand together with it's regular vaudeville program at regular Strand admsission prices.

1.-THE NAKED TRUTH'-LYCEUM

THE NAKED TRUTH'-LYCEUN
 Special shows for women only are scheduled at the Lyceum through Wednesday and also for the last three matinees of the week for the showing of "The Naked Truth" g. dramatic educational portrayal of social evils enacted by a cast which includes such we'll known stars as Helene Chadwick, Jack Mulhall. Emmett King and Pauline Curley.
 There are some special reels, shown at the end of each perfor- nance, for men and women alone, and these drive home a graphic story and preach the gospel of clean living. driving to the mind of parents forcibly the fact that their children must be educated In sex matters.
 This picture iy not a spectacular or lurid affair and those who hope to see some salacious production had best remain away for they will be disappointed. For those, how ever, who earnestly wish to see things as they arc and to learn some truths of life, this picture is a liberal education. It has been re- ferred to by critics as chaste pre- sentatlon of an unchaste subject.

Many Autoists Caught.

New London, Dec. Pl-This city this morning was digging itself out from under blanket of snow that measured eight inches in the main business sections, and foot or more in the outlying and more exposed areas.

There's no more delicious vegetable

If properly canned, the straight-from-
the-garden flavor may be retained for
winter days. Most people plant string
beans at intervals of two or three
weeks during the season, so there will
be constant supply. OF these, the
youngest and most tender should be
canned whenever they are ready. AS
there will be more from time to time,
this plan makes the work Of canning
easier, for one may do Gamer full at
q time, instead of having to handle
the whole crop at once. Beans that
have become little large may be used
directly on the table, and il they are
cooked as soon as possible after being
gathered they will have fine flavor.

Add enough boiling water to cover
