ing that the work of visttat ton and investigation Is sadly neglected. In the near futurs it will be necessary to have . trained female worker to take care of the women and girls over 16, and assist in the visitation. investigation and preventive work. It is only through the splendid CO., cies in our city that we are able to meet the needs as we'll as we have been doing. Miss Ruth E. Bristoll. tho Juvenile Court officer. has all that shs can attend to. even with the aid of an office assistant, as the work of the Juvenile Court is con- stantly on the increase. and it is un- fair to expect her to assist in the adult court. which means neglecting her own work.
 Court Hoase Needed
 The crying need of . up-to-date cout house, properly equipped. IS moro and moro evident each year. Women having business with the court and probation department. out Of town witnesses and others, are sadly disconiforted by the lack of accommodations in the present building, and at times 1t is hu- initiating to hear tho comments of out of town visitors as to the lack of facilities in a city as wealthy and prosperous as New Britain.
 Work Scarce
 The present labor situation has made it very difficult to secure work for probationers needing 1t. as work is very scarce. and usually the type on probation are the first to be laid of and the last to be taken on at tho factories. We have been treated very fairly. however. by those in charge of employment bureaus in our city. and have placed some of them at work. It is to be hoped that we have reached the end of the present depression, and that soon our factories will be able to take care of all those now out of em- ploylAsnt.

 The number of non-support eases during the year jumped from Is in 1s2s-2s to s2 in 1s2s-7.

DANCING MOTHERS
 ONE 0f THE BEST
Poli Players Excel in Modern
 Drama of Life and Love
(By Herald Reviewer)

Sby a6I4lQ ncVlcWcIJ
 The Poli Players are giving one of the most interesting and best enact ed plays of the season so far in sel- wyn's and Goulding's drama Dane ing Mothers" This play affords the best example of ensemble work of the stock season and while 1t does not hold an exceptionally star role for any ildividual it gives all an al- most equal opportunity. However, the wheel of the drama revolves about Miss Frances Williams as devoted wife and mother who sacri- fees her entire twenty years of mar ried life to save the reputation and happiness of her daughter, played by Miss Am Merrick. In this role of a er-flapper of the very latest vintage-a wine tippling, arrogant, man-crazy girl-Miss Merrick really excels. Her acting is worthy of es- pecial mention and surpasses any, thing she yet has done with the Poli Players. Full of action. natural, in- sulting, tempestuous and sympathe- tic in parts, her role is difficult one and she handles it exceptionally we'll. Her fine work this week makes one revise some rather casual opinions of her ability as leading lady.
 Dancing Mothers" is an extreme ly modern version of the story of the worm that turns, but in this case it is a home-loving. self sacrificing wife who does the turning. Pushed aside by her jazz-mad daughter, kept down, socially, by her arrogant and wild woman" chasing husband. she finally revolts and vamps the man who was enticing her daughter only to find that she has done her work too well and the man truly had become her slave, truly has come to love her. This part of the other man." a sort of beloved will lain type. is admirably handled by Vincent Coleman while Walter Scott Weeks is equally good as the wand ering husband who thinks that he in the end pays too dearly for his twenty years of transgressions. Miss Patsy Ann O'Neal as a woman of the world-the typical dancing moth er-is clever as usual and appears charming in her role. Little Adrien- ma Earle has typical engenue part and Robert Perry is in for a minor role.
 The drama is one of laughter, of sympathy and of tears. 50 admirably blended together that 1t does not savor of the melodramatic but rather as cross section of real life. Handled as it is by this company 1t makes one of the best vehicles in which they have appeared 50 far this season and it can we'll be recommended as a play worth sec ing, being not only interesting but also having a moral lesson that can not be misunderstood. The fact that the end is 8 bit unusual adds to it's strength.

OH, MY GOSH!

S. j. Paxton, driver of the Standard
Oil truck, the last of the week fea-
tured as near-hero in an automobile
runaway which might have terminal
ed in a tragedy As it was, quick
thinking told him to do the right
thing, just in the nick of time.
AS he drove up to the mill commits
sary in Milton he saw woman alight
from car and enter the commissary.
Two other women were seated in the
rear of the car. The next thing he
knew they were scrambling from the
car, which had started down hill,
gathering speed as it went. AS they
did not know how to put on the brake
they decided to use strength. One
ran behind the car and pushed. The
other stumbled and fell down an en-
bankment in her effort to get behind
the car. Paxton grabbed the brake
just as the car was about to tip off
the steep bank upon the woman who
had fallen.
