"SIAIBA" AT CAPITAL

The last fifteen minutes of Sim.
 ba,' the motion picture record of four years in the African junsles by
 MT. and Mrs. Martin Johnson, which is at the Capitol theater today and Saturday, are exciting enough for an evenings entertainment. The snec- tacle of handful Of African na- tives, armed only with spears and shields, facing and staying full grown lions, wilt thrill anyone to the core. The courage of these blacks who are determined to destroy the ravagers of their flocks is somethjn- that could not be believed if it were not recorded by the camera.
 And all the rest of the film is nm par with these last minutes for this picture is the greatest ever made of big game hunting.

Not many animals of thai section escaped their cameras.
 There are zebras, giraffes. binnos 'iiiilos' enormous elephants, leop- ards, antelope, ostriches and a host or others. One of the great scenes or the picture is the stampede of a nerd of elephants, terrorized by Junsle hre' This, incidentally, gave the 1ohnsons a real thrill, because they too were in the path of the names and narrowly escaped being trampled by the elephants in the,r rush for safety.

GAS STATION LAW
 DOES NOT HIT CITY
Public Works Board Will Con-
 tinue to Handle Petitions

The city of New Britain will not
 be obliged to conform to the action of the state legislature relative to the erection of gasoline stations but instead will continue it's pres ent policy of regulation in compli- ance to charter amendments of 1925, according to information re- celNed from Assistant Corporation Counsel Mortimer H. Camp. The matter is now handled by the board of public works and the mayor.
 In fear that state law passed by the last legislature would change the New Britain procedure, Thomas Linder, clerk of the board of as- sessors, asked the assistant cor poration counsel for an opinion. At torney Camp is taking the place of Corporation Counsel John H. Kirk ham and he announced his deci- sion today.
 The new law gives jurisdiction over gasoline station questions to the zoning board in each city. New Britain's zoning questions are taken care of by the board Of adjustment and it was felt that the board of public works which is now handling gas station petitions is in a better position than the adjustment board to pass judgment after invcstigat- ing.
 The only employe Of the adjust. nent board is Mir Linder. who. be- ,ause of his duties as chairman Of the board of assessors and clerk would not he able to give the time 70 these added duties if the state aw held in this city.

characteristics of Tunic Style
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Perhaps one reason that we have not
seen more Of these close tlnics Is that
they are q trifie too warm for street
wear in this country during Summer;
where lower, more open necklineS are
preferred. Another thing to remem-
Der is that American women are usually
less patient about having their dresses
fitted to give the desired snug fit that
Frenchwomen insist on. We like to
buy our clothes ready made and We like
to wear them without taking time for
alterations.
Another thing about this frock worth
noting is the tunic arrangement Of the
skirt-one Of the clever devices of
French dressmakers to lengthen skirts
without making the added length too
apparent. The dress from which the
sketch was made was Of very heavy
white silk, but 1t could be made with
charming effect from navy blue silk or
wool, with tie and belt Of contrasting
color. The effect Of the belt could be
achieved by having a very wide leather
belt cut out at the sides and stitched
down where the cut was made.
Now that schooldays are not far of,
am sure readers with little daughters
will be interested in this weeks circu-
lar which gives a diagram and direc-
tons for making a sleeveless pinafore
or apron that can be slipped on over
the dress during playtime. If you
would like a copy. please send your
stamped, self-addressed envelope to
Mary Marshall, care Of this paper, and
1t will be forwarded to you.

The Napoleonic bubble burst and the
Allies put Bourbon, Louis XVIII, back
on the throne Of France. He had long
been an exile and now, nearing so, he
was fat and equity, for he was addicted
to the pleasures Of the table. Indeed,
he was O great cook. Affairs of state
were not more important to him than
his cuisine.
He aspired to emulate the famous
chefs Of French history and was proud
Of the durability of a stomach that
food.
His chief confdant and assistant In
the preparation Of palatable dishes was
his grand maitre d. hotel, the Due
d'Escars (Jean Francois de PeyrusSe).
While Louis and the Due dEscars
meditated upon the preparation Of q
dainty, the kings ministers often cooled
their heels in an ante-roon, his royal
htghness caring not q ptcayune.
Perhaps Louis XVIII,s culinary tri-
umph was his invention Of "trufles a Ia
PURGE d'ortolans."
He was so proud Of this masterpiece
that he would confide the secret Of its
preparation to none of his menials
Only the royal hands were permitted to
be used In its concoction-with the Due
d'EscarS on hand to assist.
One evening the King evolved huge
quantity Of the "trufles" a Ia puree
d'ortolans"
"Ah, my friend" he told dEscars,
"this evening we shall eat our I'LL. We
will dine to superfluity."
They ate serving after serving. There
was no one else on hand to claim por-
ton. The two disposed Of the whole
great dish, and presently retired to
pleasant dreams-they hoped.
The King slept well, but not his grand
maitre d'hotel. In the night d'Escars
was seized by the pangs Of acute in
digestion.
Physicians were summoned. They
told him he was doomed to die.

BRIDGE TALKS
BY MRS. JOHN MuNCE. yR.

Continuing the discussion Of the
third situation, namely, what third
hand should bid after dealer bids a
suit and second hand passes, the first
question Is what should third hand do
after dealer bids one Of minor suit
and second hand passes. Third hand
certainly realizes that with no score,
unless he has an unusually strong
hand, they will not 60 game on a
minor suit bid of one. Therefore, If
he has sufficient strength to justify adj
vancing his partner, he should unhesi-
tatingly do so. ra
When dealer bids one of Q minor
suit. second hand passes and third
should declare it, although he may
hold two, three or four of the minor
suit bid, as the major suit is de-
cidedly more valuable declaration.
For example, dealer bids one diamond,
second hand passes and third hand
holds the following:
Spades-Ace, king, jack, 7-spot and
5-spot.
Hearts-Four-spot and 3-spot.
DiamondS-Jack and 5-spot.
Clubs-King, jack, 6-spot and 4-spot
Third hand with the above holding
should bid one spade. 80
If dealer has bid one Of either minor
suit, second hand passes and third
hand does not hold a strong major
suit, but does have strength in two
suits. and the third suit protected, he
should bid a no trump, even II one of
the strong suits of third hand be the
suit bid by dealer. In that case he
would know that dealer had bid with
side strength and you must realize that
it only takes three tricks in no trump
to make game, whereas it would take
five in a minor suit. For example,
dealer bids one diamond, second hand
passes and third hand holds the fol-
lowing:s
Spades-Ace and 5-spot.
Hearts-Queen, 7-spot, 5-spot and
2-spot.
Observation-Disclosures. 7-spot and
5-spot.
Clubs-King. 6-spot. 4-spot and
2-spot.'
You have here high cards in three
suits and you should bid one no trump.
When dealer bids one in a minor suit,
second hand passes, and third hand,
with great strength in the suit bid,
feels that with hts help in that suit
dealer stands better chance Of going
6n1hC tAAnAk WAL ally OtkACI
he should not hesitate to jump the
minor bid to three or four, thereby
most likely shutting out any bid by
fourth hand. For example, dealer bids
one diamond, second hand passes and
third hand holds the following:
SpadeS-Ace, king and 7-spot.
Hearts-None.
Demonstrating, 7-spot, 6-spot, g.
spot and 3-spot.
Clubs-Queen, jack, s-spot, 5-spot
and 2-spot.
With this holding, third hand should
bid at least four diamonds.
To further emphasize the point Of
not raising your partner when you lack
assistance. viii give you this example.
Dealer bids one diamond, second hand
passes and third hand holds the fol-
lowing:
spades-Jack, 1o-spot, 7-spot and
5-spot.
Hearts-Eight-spot. e-spot and s.
spot.
Diamonds-Jack, 7-spot and 5-spot.
Clubs-Queen, 4-spot and 2-spot.
With this holding third hand would
unquestionably pass. as this hand does
not even contain normal support.
While 1t does contain three Of the suit
bid, 1t does not contain one quick trick
in addition thereto.
It Is well to realize that these hands
are sometimes dealt to every player,
and he must recognize the necessity Of
passing with such hand.
