NEW FILM TELLS AN
 ENGAGING STORY "B0OB"

A whimsical story of American youth brings George K. Arthur, one of the most promising young players of the silver sheet, to the Liberty the ater, in "The Boob" which will be shown tonight only.
 Tn this picture Arthur has made one of his finest contributions to the sil- ent drama that marks him as new star in the motion picture heavens. He plays the role of Peter, an ideal istic youth, who lives only in his dreams and illusions. He is imbued with the spirit of Don Quixote and starts out on a series of adventures, absolutely impervious to the thrusts ' of everyday life.
 Arthur offers performance that has finer feeling and is more infinite ly subtle than the slapstick variety of comedy. He is impulsively funny and he is not crude or deliberate in attempting to create funny situations. He is a laugh creator, one of theheart- interest comedians, and he recognizes clearly that sympathy is just as es- sential to comedy as it is to drama.

TIE WAM CAT
(By "Cannonball" Baker)

The scheduled meeting of the s. A. c. was held last night and all difficulties ironed out. It was agreed to suspend temporarily, the local Basketball Tournament and devote all of the remaining time at our dis posal before the games at Fairbanks, Dec. 2, 1927, whipping together a team that, we hope, will completely smother all opposition.
 Ted McEwen, local High School superintendent, was once again cho- sen to lead the cream of Seward bask cteers" against all corners. A vote of confidence was given Ted, and he will carry on, as in the past, to. make of the present material a winning combination.
 There is no doubt, but that the Territory will hear from this crack squad in the no distant future. All atheletes who are desirous of a try out, must report to Coach Ted Nc Ewen, at p. m. next Monday night, at the gym. No favors will be shown and the athlets will be cho- sen strictly on their merits, so it is entirely up to the individual to pro- duce the goods.
 The city league tournament will again be taken up after the Fair banks tilt for an appropriate trophy which will be awarded to the win ming team. Many good and exciting

OF fate. what was once the main
support of the town OF Plainville is
today its worst eyesore. This is the
large manufacturing plant located in
| the very center of the town. on West
Main street. At one time it was the
busting Plainville Mfg. Co., and
later the Plainville plant Of the
Bristol Mfg. Co.: today it is a sooty.
decaying husk.
The old Plainville Mfg. Co was
a pioneer concern in every respect.
II was the third concern OF its kind
organized in the United States, being
preceded only by factories in Cohoes
and Troy and being followed by the
old knitting mill in this city. Es-

papers specified that 1t purposed to
manufacture cotton. wooden, and
silk goods" which was a polite way
Of saying underwear"
At first the machinery in the little
factory was limited, and in those
days machinery was not SO perfected
as 1t is now, so much of the work
had to be done by hand. Only the
rough knitting was done in the mill.
and then wagons took the garments
to the homes OF women for dis
lance of IS miles about the country
side. These women sewed the gar
ments together in their homes,
made button-holes, and finished
them. Then the company teams
called for the completed garments
and they were shipped to the mer-
chants.
But the concern was forward
looking and prosperous. One of the
very first sewing machine made by
Wheeler & Wilson of Bridgeport,
was installed in the Plainville mill.
The plant was exceptionally well
equipped and. even up to the time
when activities We're suspended. the
machinery was the most modern that
could be purchased. The huge en-
gine was used by the fire company
for pumping water at fires about the
center. For year after year the fac
tory was not only the largest but
practically the only industrial plant
in the town, and it employed large
percentage of the population. 1t

A new phase Of modern education
is the auditorium and extra curri-
cular associations and In this parti-
cular field the Central Junior High
school is very efficient. This year
the work OF directing the school
auditorium and club work is in the
hands of Miss Caroline F. Stearns.
She is one Of the oldest teachers
in point Of service at the school and
her knowledge Of the youth OF
the present age won her the ap-
pointment. Every student in the
school belongs to some particular
club and each club has a special
field to cover. 1t was Miss Stearns'
ardent work that has made it pos
sble for the clubs to function so
admirably in the short time they
have been under her control. She
was an English teacher at the
school until this year.
Miss Stearns attended New Mil
ford grammar school and received
her high school education in an
academy at Brocksport, N. Y. She
attended the state normal school OF
that place and took a special course
at Vermont university. and summer
and extension courses at Columbia
university. She taught arithmetic
and geography in the New Milford
grammar school before she came to
this city.

DISLIKES OVERC0AT
ALTHOUGH He IS z
Michael ]. Lynch Weatherproof
From Outdoor Labor

The only living charter member
OF the local bricklayers' union VINO
still maintains a membership in the
organization although he laid aside
his trowcl about 10 years ago, Is an
ardent exponent of the round-table
conference as q medium for settle
ment Of labor difficulties.
He is Michael J. Lynch OF 49S
Main street, who, as he approaches
the autumn Of life--hc is 10 years
Of age--warns against the loud
voiced agitators, and urges friendly
feeling between capital and labor.
He is loud in his praise of boss
contractors in their relationship to
the bricklayers, declaring they have
always treated the men humanity.
When his union was organized IN
1885 there was only one other union
of outdoor crafts in existence in the
state Of Connecticut and that was
the Bricklaycrs Union OF New
haven. ~ dil 'lltIlN''ttt''AiS ''t'f -
Of about 20 bricklayers held In the
old Opera House plans for the Or
ganization were drawn up and Mr..
Lynch became the first president.
Wages at that time were low. A
bricklayer received $3.50 for lay
of 10 hours. Three years later,
however. the men were given nine
hour day with the same wages and
the contractors decided to make
the wages $3.50 day. Today, after
AZ wears. the union is one OF the
strongest in the city and has a NOM
bership OF about 100. Wages have
also increased considerably since the
carly days and the masons are now
receiving s11 day.
In his younger days he was con-
sidered one of the best baseball
PLAYERS in this city. He pitched and
played first base, and it was said
that if he had not suffered leg in
Jury in a game with the New Britain
amateurs he might have become n
big league player. At that time,
about 1878, baseball did not pay as
well as it does nowadays He was
an excellent all-around athlete until
the time he was injured. His leg
was broken again in an accident in

it was thought he would not be able
to walk again but after being con-
fined to hospital for some time he
recovered although he now has to
walk with the aid Of a cane.

WESTERN WORLD IS
REGARDED AS SAFE
Chinese "ReY0lutiQn' Manifesto
Means But Little

New York. March &c (UP)-The
western world is safe from Chinese
revolution. despite the manifesto
of the Cantonese nationalist COM
mandcr at Shanghai, Lewis S. Gan
nett, an authority on China and
member OF the staff OF the nation,
told the United Press today.
Gannctt is associate editor Of the
nation and has Just written pam
phlet, Young China" in which he
interprets the situation which is
attracting the interest of the world
10 the Yangtze Valley.
Dispatches printed In the United
States quoted the Cantonese COM
mandcr at Shanghai as saying that
this recently captured city would be-
come n base for world revolution,
but Gannett explained that revolu-
ton in the Chinese sense does not
mean what it does to western minds.
when General Pei Ching Shi"
Gannett said, says that Shanghai
will become a strong base not only
for Chinese nationalism but for
world revolution he is thinking of
the only continent we know-Asia.
He thinks Of the freeing of the yell
low and brown peoples from domin-
ton to him means primarily driv-
ing the Europeans out Of their
dominant position in Asia"
Chinese nationalism Is Hercely
anti-imperialstic," Gannett con-
tinued and it has no patience with
the argument that one people may
govern another for the latter's good.
Chang kaiShek. the nationalist
gcncralissimo. once told me that
America could not really be
democracy, otherwise she would not
hold the Philippines against their
will.
THE nationalist generals with
whom l talked in Canton last year.
like the students and workers, make
no subtle distinctions; wherever they
see whites occupying a position SUI
perior to other races they call that
imperialism and they want a rev
olution' to end it. When they talk
of revolutionary change the nation
alists may have in mind a vague
hope Of better conditions for Chinese
workmcn and farmers; but prima--
lily they think of revolutionary re-
versal in the relations Of Europeans
and Asiatics in Asia.
"Chiang Kai-Shek made 1t clear
enough. He said:
"'Ours is not an evolutionary
movement. 1t is revolutionary. We
are not going to walt years, not even
one year. We want equality now.
China are welcome to remain here
subject to our laws. But no man
can stay in China and no one can
trade in China and still be subject to
his own laws without reference to
the laws Of the Chinese govern
ment, Extraordinarily must 60;
the concessions must go without de-
lay"
"Pai Hsung-Chl used the same
word and meant the same thing as
his chief. Chang Kai-Shek. who
halls from the same province. Che
kiang, and was his classmate at the
military academy in Tientsin," said
Gannett. when these Chinese talk
Of world revolution they have not
the rcmotest dream Of the bolshe-
yism which these words suggest in
the west: but their speeches are
naturally alarming to the British
whose thin red line holds down an
Asiatic empire Of more than three
hundred million people. They need
not alarm any people which does
not seek to dominate others.",
