SOCIAL ASP|RAN7S
 TAUGHT TO AMUSE
Must Be More Than True Blue
 Ribbon Pedigree

London, Aug. 27. R-The good old days are gone when a blue-rib- boned pedigree was enough to crash the gate" on London society.
 To get through the sacred portals of Belgravia one must now be amusing.
 That eliminates lot of the old dowagers. It also weeds out q number of American hostesses who came over this season with bank Look in one hand and an invitation list in the other. At>the climax of the social season, now in sight. many hostesses are weighing their bank balances against the salver of visiting cards collected during the last three months. wondering whether 1t was worth while.
 The barricades of London society can now only be stormed, they have discovered, not by social impecca- bility, but by ones ability to amuse.
 If one can raise the flicker of smile on the faces of tired Bel gravia hostesses ones social for tune is made. Persons who have spent small fortunes on charity balls and entertainments and who have meandered through the whole lugubrious length of them have not yet been able to turn the magic wheel that spins one with society.
 Yet people with regulations of being merely young and amusing. like Edyth Baker, the American pi- anist, entertainer, Fred and Adele Astaire, who entertained Prince George in their hotel suite. and Florence Mills, negro show girl of New York, entertain the best so- ciety. People come to their par ties who would not bother even to answer invitations from persons in the social register.

THE POWER CONTEST

According to srokosmen on be- half of the electric power interests who addressed millions of people over radio hookup of 4 stations last week, an outraged public opin- ion should not permit the govern- mDt 10 go into the power business at Boulder Dam.
 II was Thomas \. Edison himself, 'In.urueWpd by F" ". Rice, Jrp of rle General Electric Company, who read a prepared reply during the interview as follows:
 "Goycmmout management is fatal 10 success. The government should only regulate. not manage, private business in its relation with the pub lie"
 Does this mean that the govern mrnt, in order to see the immense power potentialiiies of Boulder Dam developed, should hand them over to the power interests?
 That seems 10 be the plan Of cam paign, If there is to be power de- yoloped al Boulder Dam, the power interests want the privilege of doing the developing.

Another auditorium Of fair size is being added to the assortment of meeting places in New Britain. the ucWcomcr-the Stanley arcna-be- ing designed especially for sporting events. It is announced the arena will be able to accommodate $500 spectators with comfort, which will make it the largest place of the kind in the city.
 About a year ago the Tabs com- pleted their new hall, which is the largest of it's kind hcreabouts and has attained much popularity.
 From which one gets the impress sion that the auditorium situation in the city IS not as unsatisfactory as it once was. There are good sized places in which to sponsor events. In the opinion of many citizens, what is now needed are more events.
 But there are other aulitoriums. No modern school is constructed nowadays without fair-s sized audi torium, large enough to accommo- date class assemblies and the meet iuEs cf parents and teachers. They also are adapted 10 ncighborhood gatherings, and in the minds of many it is pity they are not more frequently utilized for the purpose.
 < large civic auditorium is still lacking. and from the progress be- ing made in this direction, all of us | will be considerably older before that desidcratum undertakes. Tn, cost involved is the deterrent; but i cvfr the time comes when it is deem. rd advisable to construct q new cit! hall and a new central police station the opportunity to include larg, civic auditorium in the new ciyi' building will have arrived. Carcfu planning at such time would mak' it possible 10 obtain the much-dis cus4ad auditorium at little greatc cost

\ SUCCESSFUL CONCEPT

When it was announced some tim" ago that the Exchange club of this city had signed a contract to sponsor an appearance in this city of the L.. S. Marine band several gentlemen whispered in our ears that they fear cd only a "corporals guard would be present.
 When the "adyance man" Of the band blew into this office a week or so ago he took pains 10 diSs!pate what pessimism there might have been engendered. "The boys have had no flop in any town yet and we don't anticipate any in New Britain" was his optimistic remark.
 The advance gentleman was right. The concert al tho Strand qualified as q rip-snorting succ. c.ss. II Was a feast for the eyes to see a repre- sentative audience so thoroughly filling the large theator.
 or course, the Marine band has drawing power; it isn't necessary to explain to anyone that tt Is ore Of the worlds greatest bands. Every body knows that. It is 8 gJverame-t institution; 1t has played at every governmental function sine, down near the beginning of tHe 5aJl century.
