Mrs. Grantland Speaks Loudly of
 scandal

SCallual
 The sight of the woman upon the doorstep of the rectory sent me hur- rying toward the staircase, intent upone summoning someone to take the authority for admitting her, But ] never reached it. The sound of the door bell had aroused everyone in the house, and the rector, Lillian and Lee Chow came into the living room almost simultaneously
 There's a woman outside" ] said in a hurried whisper, who looks as If she might be--"
 Lillian interrupted me with q crisp, low direction.
 "Dr. Douglass! Please look from the window and see f you know her."
 The little rector t!ptoel to the window l had left. pecrcd through it with much the effect Of q plump robin eyeing q worm and turned back to us with hands upraised in . gesture Of astonishment.
 It Is Mrs. Grantandi" re said.
 "I thought so." Lillian returned. "Is there anyone with her or any one ip sight along the street."
 "l didn't see anyone pr Doug lass said nerVously.
 There Is no one on the vcranda with her" Interrupted quietly, but | little way down the street. there Is . small sedan with cclored cAau'- teur."
 Lillian looked at me with quick comprehension.
 ''She knew enough 10 bring q diff ferent car," she murmured, and then as another impatient peal came from the door bell. she issued quick or ders.
 "Dr. Douglass, 1t is imperative that Mrs. Graham and see and hear this woman without her know ing 1t. It's lucky you have portleres instead of doors leading out Of this room. I'll go into the alcove by the bay window; and Madge, you go in to the little hall leading from here 10 the rear stairway and the kitchen Lee Chow, remain with Mrs. Ora ham until you have seen Mrs Grantlands face and hear her voice then go and keep the childrer away from this room. Is Hugt aWake?"
 Nc" returned Dr. Douglass "but even If he awakens he will no come down. He has the instinct tt hide whenever he hears the bell"
 Then we arc all ready for you tt go to the door. Dr. Douglass, Lillian said. Let her do most of tn talking and do not admit that liugl Is here. under any circumstances, B.

NAzIMovA IN GREAT
 PICTURE IVY sow

Edwin Carewe's picturization of My Son." which opened yesterday at the Liberty Theater is mighty achievement for the First National di- rector.
 Nazimova plays the starring role and gives to the portrayal finished quality comparable to the finest screen work. She plays the role of ''Ana Sil- va," a Portuguese fisher woman who loves three men. Tony, her son, she loves most of all, for he is the image of his father. The Drama that comes into the lives Of Tony and his mother, brought by Betty Smith, flippant flapper from the city, is vivid and compelling. The audience at the To- cal showing were held speIlbound by the acting. Especially by the last reel were they affected. In that fast nov ing bit of action they saw a mother turn tigress and fell him with an axe handle rather than see her son become thief.
 With fine deft touches Carewe paints a fast moving picture of a single Ora ma that abounds with human heart in terest and compelling love.
 One can scarcely believe that the picture is z reels long it grasps one so. It will be played for the last time at the Liberty tonight.

DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT
 AND ACCIDENTS

Announcement by the state motor vehicle department that defective equipment caused 4 1-2 per cent of the automobile accidents in the state during the past two years only tells part of the story. There Is no Compu- tation Of the danger caused by de- tectiye equipment but which does not result in accidents because Of the astonishing luck that seems 10 be part of some such drivers. Defective equipment is so general, according to police authorities. especially in connection with old models, that record Of only 1-2 per cent of ac- cidents caused thereby is little short of marvellous.
 The state motor vehicle depart ment rightly classiiics galing head ligh's as defective equipment, and tells us that some progress has been made the past year in rectifying some of these evils. We trust this is true; vet 1t is given 10 everyone to notice that glaring headlights stlIt seem 10 be remarkably common. and one does not need to leave tho city streets to make this notation. There seems 10 he no law against this evil that is being rigidly enforced, vet there is nothing more irritating 10 drivers as Il whole than to be confronted with searchlights staring at them along the public highways and streets.

HOW GOT MY OWN GOAT

By )r. waiter F.. raproCh
 Out in the great North West q man isn't really a man until he has gotten his own goat. l mean the Rocky Mountain variety, the hard est beast in the world to get near.
 had read Stewart Whites ac- count of killing lions with q bow and arrow. By Heck" l cried, "Tll get one of these babies with an even more primitive weapon. a lassoo.' v The boys laughed fit 10 split
 Nevertheless, next daybreak l set out with only my skis and my robe. I knew that getting near thom called for strategy so I made for the top of the range. After eight hours hiking l saw. far below me, big he goat peacefully grazing, the wind blowing through his Whiskers. He saw me, too, but figured himself out of danger.
 shot down a sharp incline "ool; off" the edge of q clilt hung s,- spcnded for an instant in mid air, then dropped hundreds of feet into the valley. I landed right beside Mir. Goat. slipping my moose over his horns as I did so. Tho fall would have killed mo if l hadn't kept right on. which I did, dragging thc goat after me. As soon GS his weight checked my speed he tried th holt but hy crossing my skis found l could play him like n fish. When he was exhausted I hauled myself ID 10 him and hog-ticd, him.
 Then. being q long way from camI and night coming on, l wrenchcd of. one of his horns, blew an s c $. or it and the boys came out after ml with q sled.
 "Wcll hoys," I said, "you sec I got my goat"
 "Woll say you did, Trappy, ol( Cockey." they cried, "and that'' morc than we could do though we've been trying for year!."

THE CLEAN PANIC

somebody peddled a rumor In Havana and before II was all over thousands of people had with drawn their money from the banks, The rumor was baseless, but to population which does not reason before acting and has no time to investigate, the baseless ru- nor had all the effect Of an &C., tuallty.
 Runs on American and Canadian banks in Havana were stilled final ly. but only after t43,ooo,0Oo in currency had been dispatched to the island. Now the Cubans, who got excited over nothing, fave time 10 contemplate how foolish they acted and are returning their money to the banks.
 But underlying the Cuban disil- culty is widespread industrial lethargy throughout the islands. A vast over-production Of sugar and low prices have made lack of pros perity the dominant note. When prices for sugar were high the Cu- ban growers vastly expanded their productive facilities; now that the demand, has slackened and prices are low distress Is everywhere,
 The United States could help Cuba much by reducing the sugar tariff, as the Tariff commission recommended, but which the Pres ident would not do. President Machado has appealed for a low ering of the American sugar tariff under the flexible provisions, but as everyone by now is very well aware, tariff fexibility is not meant for the lowering process,
 The United States much prefers 10 help Cuba by sending Federal Reserve money to the islands. The sugar duty must remain as 1t is.

PRESERVING i SHRINE
 IN THIS CITY

The announced intention of Eddy-Glovcr post Of the American Legion 10 preserve the home of Ellhu Burritt will meet with the approval of New Britain. The memory and fame Of the earliest advocate Of an association Of na- lions Is SO firmly lmhcddcd in the minds Of all those who are familiar with the early history Of this movement and particularly among the residents Of New Britain, that it would seem the least the city can do it 10 preserve the home which once sheltered the learned blacksmith and which served as the center Of hospitality toward the distinguished people who came here to do him homage.
 It Is sad 10 contemplate that such movements invariably are not started until the building is in low state o' preservation; until 1t becomes an antique in residences and Is near the end Of its useful ness and is courting its inevitable decay. In the case Of the Burritt house the homestead is not yet so far gone, or SO far removed from it's original colonial appearance, as not 10 permit Its restoration. The work, 1t perhaps will be found, can be consummated very readily and at reasonable cost.
 Rarely In the history of local journalism did a news story at tract so much attention as the H. frustrated account Of the former Burritt homestead and the com paTlson dS II dpPfdl9 'pH"S' i''' 1t has stimulated a desire 10 pre- serve the old homestead is nat ural. It is entirely fitting that the American Legion, an alert organi- zation in regard to every patriotic and idealistci municipal endeavor, should sponsor the movement. The Legion has the courage, the ambi- ton and the ability; 1t is entitled 10 public approval In this city, the home Of the great peace apostle ol the 19th century.
