TOW WE SLIPPED

In examining the percentage oi industssal decline during ls37 ones eye naturally Eivsts to the hardware column. If anyone in New Britain has been of the impression the hardware business has suffered seriously the past year 1t ii time to take heart For 1t hasnt.
 Getting down to bedrock quickly here is the fact:
 The hardware trade suffered ! de- cline of only 7.s per cent during 1927. which l. far below the leaders in the industrial decline league.
 Quitting the fractions let's com- pare a few of them: Shipbuilding declined 21 per cent: piano and or gan manufacturing. 20: stove mak- ing. 1s: petroleum refining. IT; cast iron pipes, etc..13; machine tools. r.: car building and repairing. and steam railroads. II: foundry and machine shop products. II; steam fittings, II: brick. tile and terra cot ia, 10: brass, bronze and, copper products, 9; lumber, millwork, g: lumber. sawmills. 9, stamped and enamel ware Ga New Britain pro- duct), g: iron and steel, s; woolen and worsted goods, [; electrical ma chinery. z: and thus down the line.
 The average decline in all indus tries, according to the Bureau of Labor statistics, was 5.S per cent during the year.
 It takes more than that to elimin- ate prosperity. We have never seen the time when industry could reach a high gait and maintain it in- definitely. There are ups and downs and the down dip has not been as terrible as some in the past.
 Here is a bit of silver lining. too: The average decline during January. 1923, was only II per cent. This must mean that the down dip has about run It's course.

WILL. ORGANIZE 4
 FOREST SERVICE
St,ts Rolstr! Dputnsnt
 Wants Protection From FirW

l aATtIotUs FED Zt -"Itu tuo &p" proach of spring. the stats forestry department is planning tho orsani- sation of forest fre protection service which will cover the state and be ready for emergency at . moments notice.
 No 0ther ia Country
 The first steps have already been taken in this direction. It will be to the state what the city fire depart ments are to their respective com munities. and calls for trained fire 1 crews equipped with hand pumps shovels and other fire, fighting wea- pons, and the location of motor truck pumps at strategic points around the state. It is believed that no other such state forest ire de- partment exists in the country. This scheme was outlined today by State Forester Austin F. Hawes and C. II. Lathrop. assistant state forest fire warden while discussing the pro- gram for the spring meetings of county fire wardens scheduled to be- gin next week.
 The first meeting will be for New Haven county wardens. in New Ha- ven. February :7. The second will be held at Danbury on February cs for wardens of Fairfield county. Hart ford and Middlesex county wardens will meet together at Middletown on March 2. and Windham and Holland county wardens will also combine, meeting at Willimantic on March 14. The New London county meeting, which will include a visit to the sub marine base. will be at New London on March 9. The date for the Litch- field county wardens has not been set.
 In Early Stage
 Tho plan for permanent state wide protection against forest fires is at present in the experimental stage, with 10- trained crews estab- lished and equipped and ready at moments notice. These crews com prise six to 10 men each. selected from voluntary applicants by the district fire warden and placed un- der a crew captain responsible for equipment and keeping his men pre- pared for emergency.
 These men are paid 50 cents an hour while actually engaged ill for est fire fighting, receive their equip ment from the state and are in- structed in the latest forest fire fighting methods by experts from the state forestry department.
 Each of these crews will be nucleus around which ,a ire fighting force can be built up in emergency from volunteers, who are usually | paid 35 cents an hour for their serv- ices.
 Began Last Year
 This experiment was begun last year with the organizati of a crew at Addison. in Glastonbury. The next was for medical at Essex and it will be this crew which will give a demonstration at the meeting of the | Hartford and Middlesex county war dens. A similar crew, organized at Ridgefield. will also give a demon- stration at the Fairfield county meet |
 Forester Hawes thinks it possible | that at least 30 more crews can be formed this year. To become . mem- Der of one of these crews. applica- tion must be made to the district fire warden. volunteering to serve for one year.

How to Reduce.

no you wish to reduce without
~ exercise or diet?
Alfred Santell, director of "the next
Wilma Banky picture" gives rules for
slenderizing the figure, and as Santell
has directed Alice White, Colleen Moore,
Corrinne Griffith and Margaret Living
ston, he should know something about
the effect of clothes on the figure.
He says:
Never wear round necklines. They
make the face fat
Wear v necklines to elongate the
throat and face.
Brush the hair OF the face and high
in front.
Wear long tight sleeves and do not
show bare upper arm.
Wear dark hose at all times.
Wear black dresses. Avoid designs
in materials.
Wear soft-brimmed hats-avoid very
email hats.
Don't wrap furs around the throat
closely.
wear the basque effect dress when
you can do so.
Wear the skirts we'll below the knees
to avoid aWkwardness.
Wear plain shoes, without contrast
ing feathers.
"Wear tailored suits when possible
Always have gowns cut on long, plain
lines, and avoid trimming on them.
"These rules will greatly improve
any woman's general appearance and
take pounds off her." claims the famous
director, Alfred Santell.

TANET GAYNOR has again set out to
- cleave new paths on the screen.
This diminutive star, who is generally
conceded to have brought q different

wistful performances in Seventh

-Four Devils" is now busy appearing in
a new type of picture. She has just
started Street Fair" laid in locale
rare to the screen, Holland.
It is a notable fact that in nearly
two decades of the movies there have
been practically no feature films Of the
Dutch worthy Of mention. Sometimes
Holland has been used as a comedy
background in short films, but it has
never been consistently employed for
atmosphere This Is all the more
striking. since it is acknowledged by
travellers that Holland is one Of the
few countries in Europe today where
out-of -the-way centerS still preserve the
picturesque customs, Old World archi-

simplicity which have been unspoiled
by modernism and which provide such
desirable material for pictures.
Yet, except for a picture by Mary
Pickford in her early days, no star Of
the first magnitude has capitalized oil
these pictorial assets. And so Janet is
going to try being Dutch girl.

Five Generations of Dancing.

= 4N@ N)%AA%A q k4OAA1 ~ -
1--WE generations of dancing stock
are said to lend an extra twinkle
to the nimble feet of the Mosconi
Brothers. who are scoring triumph on
the Keith-Albee circuit-a sheer tr1-
umph for the theory of heredity.
Two hundred and fifty years ago,
Louis Mosconi, a great-great-great
grandfather of the dancers, was ballet
master at the italian court. Each gen.
Grafton after that produced at least one
dancer The grandfather of the four
Mosconis, also called Louis, had fa-
nous italian ballet school in Milan.
His son, Louis, came to America and
established Prof. Mosconi's Dancing
Academy in Philadelphia, where for
years he taught stage and ballroom
dancing. Louis and Charles, the two
older boys, helped him in his work,
when they were still wearing short
trousers, going to school during the day.
time. Neither can remember when or
how he learned to dance. 1t just came
natural" Charles put it.
The mother of this talented family
was one of the best fancy skaters IN
America and the four children became
as expert on the ice as they were on the
ballroom floor In this way they ac-
quired a peculiar grace and freedom OF
motion, a surenesS which many dancers
never acquire.

No, the Fox Movietone apparatus is

Must Be Expert Athletes.

A CCORDING to Alice White, it takes
"A an all-around athlete to star in
"happer" roles in the modern motion
picture.
And if you aren't fit candidate for
the all-around competition at the next
Olympics, you get that way working in
the kind of pictures I'm making, at
any rate" she added.
Miss White, First Nationals newest
star, had to be very athletic" as an
acrobatic dancer in Show Girl" Her
current production, "Ritzy Rosie" in
which she is co-featured with Jack
Mulhall, goes farther than that. 1t
contains plenty of dancing. and any
body who does as "hot" varsity as
Miss White does, puts exercise into the
art. But in addition to that, the little
blonde actress has to sprint, swim, ride,
wrestle and. after a feminine fashion,
box, in the picture!
