BIRTH CONTROL PAIR
 ARE NOW RECONCILED
Otto and HekI Kourim Receive Blessing of Judge h
 Cleveland

Cleveland. O.. Jan. 24 (UP) - Otto and Helen Kourim, who re- portedly were advised to practice birth control when Judge Harrison W. Ewing withheld their application for divorce. are now reconciled and have started life together again with the judges blessing.
 The judge yesterday dismissed the divorce application. He denied he had ever advocated birth control for them.
 Six weeks ago the couple. having three children, applied to Judge Ewing for a divorce. He listened to the case and attributed their diff faculties to Kourim's inability to pro- vide for his wife and three children Also he criticised juvenile court au- thorities for not providing the couple with birth control informa- tion.
 At that time the couple said they would try to make the best of the situation which had brought on themselves and Judge Ewing nation- wide publicity. Yesterday they ask ed dismissal of the divorce petition.
 This is no surprise to me-" Judge Ewing said. "I have been working for a month to effect a reconcilia- tion. am very much pleased. These three children should be reared to- gether in a home with both their parents. I never ordered the couple to practice birth control while living together and I have no control over their relations as man and wife. My only wish is for their happiness"

.LAsr WARNING" AT STRAND

The lure of the mysterious-the fascination of the unknown-and the love of the world to solve crime problems-all of these partly ex- plain the unprecedented popularity attending the viewing of Universal's mystery picture "The Last Warm ing" now at the Strand theater with Laura La Plante as the lead.
 "The Last Warning by Thomas F. Fal!on was one of the most suc- cessful mystery plays ever to be seen on Broadway. It was staged from the book, '"The House of Fear" by Wadsworth Camp. The motion pie ture was based on the play.
 All the ingredients of mystery have been jammed into the photo play. Mystery and terror which bring forth screams from the audi ence and laughter-not the laughter that a farce comedy produces-but the almost hysterical laughter 0, highly keyed nerves stimulated by relief from fearful situation.
 The vaudeville program has five splendid acts with "Rah Rah Tom my" miniature musical comedy farce with a cast of seven "irls; Bach Sisters and Co. in "Equili- brism:" Carlena Diamond, the danc- ing harpiste supreme; Marshall Montgomery and Co. in Foreign Waters;" and Claude and Clarence Stroud "Aristccrats of the Stage"
 Beginning Sunday the Strand wifi offer popular Dolores Del Rio in "Revenge" for four days.

 Legislative Hearing

New Haven, Jan. 24 (UP)-Leon F. Whitney, executive secretary of the American Eugenics society, will appear before the legislative judi ciary committee to urge a favorable report on the proposed bill to re- peal the law which makes it illegal to dispense birth control information in Connecticut. he said here today
 No serious attempt has ever been made to enforce this provision and under the law doctor would be d criminal who prescribed contracep- tion, even where there was medical need in a case of life and death" Whitney asserted. "Ninety-five per cent of married couples in our mod ern social system use contraception. For this reason-and in the inter- ests of social and legislative candor the rediculous law against such use ought to be taken off the statute books"

KoUssEvITsKY AND soiOJsrs


 Soloists were once as customary with the Boston Symphony orchestra as with most other orchestras. When Koussevitsky came to America to be the Boston Symphony conductor, he began by laying this tradition on the shelf. Soloists were not to be en- gagged simply for the sake of hav- ing soloists, but only when required by some score of symphonic inter est which contained a solo part. The great concertos. of. say Beethoven or Brahms, had of course legiti- mate place in the orchestral roper tory, and called for a famous vir- tuoso to play them with the orches- tra. An occasional modern score has solo voices; or a contemporary con- certo of interest Is written by such composers as Stravinsky. Prokokieff
 rspighi. Tansman. Tailleferre, and ,'ese have appeared as guests of the orchestra in first performances of their scores. But Boston Sym phony concert remains in every case symphony programme. and does not lapse, in the middle, into a recital.
 The orchestra led by MT. Kousse- vitzky is the soloist. No soloists were announced in advance for Koussevitzky's first season, nor have any been announced for any season since. The innovation has been justified by the absence of any ap- parent regret on the part of the audiences. And symphonic interest and amplitude of the programs has been enriched accordingly. The Hartford concert is Feb. 3rd, a week from next Sunday. Ticket sale at McCoy's New Britain store. 246 Main street.

PHILIPPINE SOL0NS
 IN SPECIAL SESSION
Legislature of Island to Convene for ApprOpriating of Money
 in February.

Manila, Jan. 24 R-Governor General Henry M. stimson today is- sued call for special session of the insular legislature February z, and g.
 The call set forth that the pur- pose of the extra session was to ap- propriate money for the reha bilita- ton of the region damaged by the recent typhoon and for the relief of stricken persons there, to elect resi- dent commissioners to serve the Philippines in the United States, and ito consider such other matters as the governor may place before the legislature"
 This latter statement was regard ed as referring to the proposal that a delegation be named to visit the United States and oppose the enact- ment by congress of tariffs against Philippine products and other legis- lation considered inimical to the tn- terests of the islands. It is consider cd possible. the legislature may au- thorize such a delegation with Stim- son as it's head.
 The reelection of Pedro Guevara, resident commissioner in Washing ton, is expected. The naming of Sem ator Camille Osias to succeed Com- missioner Isauro Gabaldon. resign ed, is considered likely.

 at Miami Bach

Miami Beach. Fla, Jan. 24 (UP) -President-elect Hoover shares his winter home with a strange group of we'll known characters.
 They represent a cross section of the American scene gathered in his glittering southern paradise where money is king and American prodi- gality is most manifest.
 ''Scarface Al" Capone. we'll known in Chicago. has beautiful home on Palm Island. .l,s --,
 Palm Island, which man made, sits in Riscayne Bay about halfway between Miami and Miami Beach. It may be seen from the front porch of the Penney home. where Hoover lives. .,
 Terry Druggan. supposed head of an Irish beer running faction in Chi cago, has his home in Miami Beach. Druggan, so the local legend runs. refused to let an interior decorator work on the inside of his home. But superintends the job himself. and those who have seen the interior say it is done in good taste.
 Druggan is not here now.
 The local mystery is whether Ca pone is here now. A bellhop-and bellhops usually know-says he is.

TRYING TO SETTLE
 JAPAN-CHINA ROWS
Preliminary Efforts Between Nip pOnese and Nationalists Are
 Being Conducted Now,

Ranking, China, Jan. 24 R-Pre- liminary efforts for settlement of pending differences between Japan and the nationalist government of China are now going on.
 It is stated here Japan proposed to the Chinese government that if the negotiations are opened, Japan later will voluntarily withdraw her troops from Shantung province up- on guarantees being given that all anti-Japanese movements in China are suppressed and Japanese na- tionals are protected.
 Hitherto the main stumbling tlock to Chinese-Japanese agreement has been China's refusal to open ne- gotiations until the Japanese forces actually were withdrawn.
 China's reply to the latest Jap- anese proposal is reported to have been a declaration that China mast first have an absolute guarantee that Japan will evacuate Shantung.

ION TRIAL AT CAPITOL

Though this fact is un- doubtedly one of the reasons for the sensation 1t is creating in theatrical circles all over the country, there are several other factors of even great CT importance.

 The second is that "On Trial'' was adapted by the versatile Robert Lord. The third is the fact that it was directed by Archie L. Mayo, one of the pioneer directors of fut : length, all-talking, productions.
