this asked Uncle Wiggily, and he
was wishing he was near a flower,
,or his eyes were full of water,
from having been banged, lne! he
could easily have watered i bios
som if ono had been there.
Int there was that buzzing hum
ming sound around the rabbit gen
tlcman's ears. and once more Il
voice cried:

"Who are you''' asked Uncle
W:gcilv; for, just then, because of

Will Draft Ordinance
 To License Builders

Work on an ordinance to license building contractors will be under- taken at a meeting of the New Brit ain Master Builders associa ton, Monday night at the Chamber of Commerce offices.
 The builders will proba bly retain lawyer to prepare the draft. and will also prepare sample examina- ton papers to be submitted to the ordinance committee to throw light on the type of quiz that is usable to bring out an applicants knowledge of the business he proposes to enter.
 Members Of the association con- yinced a special committee of the common council that protection of the public demands licensing and examination. and several members of the council have expressed senti- ment favorable to the idea.
 As was the case several years ago when electricians were first required to submit to examinations. it is gen. ersllv expected that a large rropor- ton of those who now receive per- mits for construction work, will be required to retire from business.

 The recent scarchlights on Lon don police methods; the changes in the administrative departments of the metropolitan force; and in" re- ports that Sir William Joyuson- Hicks, homo secretary, is out to "clnan up London, have all had their effect in curing the disease.
 Police action is not entirely the however. Tho public is becoming tired Of paying sl5 a bottle for "champasnoN and Sl.50 for sand wiChCS.

Cane Crop" | melodrama in three acts, which is scheduled to open soon in New York city. played the first show of it's three day run at Parsons theater. Hartford. last night, and proved to be an offering of considerable promise.
 The presentation is from the book by Bates Hunter, and Is staged by Clark Ross with Miriam Hopkins. vivacious star of An American Tragedy" Excess Baggage" and "The Enemy" as the principal in . story of love and filtration. hatred and death in the American sugar plantations of tropical Cuba.
 Most of the supporting characters are assigned to the characters Of Spaniards, native Cubans of low caste, or mixed breeds of Spanish. Cuban. African and Chinese blood. While they follow very we'll the Gu ban accent. objection might be found to the perfect construction of their sentences and the delicate choice of words. which seems in- harmonious with their positions as plantation laborers. and with their rude attire.
 The story deals with the Ameri- can controlled cane fields, the Cen tral Felicate Batey, in the heart of tropical Cuba. Resentment against the Americana management runs high and difficulties with the labor crop up from time to time through the pay. particularly after Tom Randall (Harold Vermiyea), youth full American comes to the batey IS manager. The artful Ramon Villa nova. native assistant manager, with honeyed words, succeeds in winning the love of Toms wife, a character played by Miriam Hopkins. and with the assistance of his partner" De- siree faBlanche, a. woman of the world. he Is successful in having Tom recalled as manager. The admin istration of drugs by Toms wife. causes his death at about the same time aS his notice of recall is re- cefved, and when she then turns to Ramon, she finds he has accom- plished his objective and will have nothing more to do with her.
 The deceiying and deceived wife, Respondent, increases the use Of drugs which Desiree has taught her to take when her nerves were un- strung or when the heat of the tropics seemed unbearabe. and she gradually sinks to the state of a na- tive laborer's white woman.' Here she is subjected to one isnominy after another by the Cuban whose every want she serves for shelter.
 When the iird act has gone along for about 10 minutes and Ramon has not yet been brought to an ac- counting for his deeds. the unfaith- full wife is drug ffend with no chance of redeeminE herself in so- ciety, and the wife's keeper has long since left on hts diabolical mission Of taking revenge against the Americanos, the author, very con- veniently. has the sugar plantation fired, has Ramon slain by the girl he spurned. and she jumps into the blazing cane field, ending the story. probably as much for want Of charactets to proceed as f any oth- CT reason.
 The play is presented tonight and tomorrow night with | matinee to- morrow afternoon.
