 lxxy Weiss, lanky silk Sox rookie, dark -horsed himself into local rec ~gnition as a twirler here last Sunday afternoon by efectiing a sensational 40 victory over the fast Slater Club of Webster. Substituting at the last moment for Coderre. who was un- able to be present. Weiss was greeted with the well known "Razz" which changed to applause as he pitched six hitless innings. In all. he allowed but four scattered hits. and famed Gen visiting batsmen.
 The Sox pushed their first, and what promised to be their last tally across in the third as Bennett scored from third on n double by Bates. Three more markers. in the sixth, by Nelson. Murphy, and Touchette, clos ed the base circling for the after aoon.
 Two sparkling stops by Bernacki, Bay state third sacker, featured the aelding performances for the after noon and checked what promised se be two more B-H tallies.
 Gappy Bardier, former Sox back stop, fell victim to some heads-np- baseball on two occasions, as Nelson Bennett and Reddy Bennett passes casght him mapping at first. How ever, his active game behind the plate gained him hand from the fans.
 Reddy had a perfect day at bat with two out of two while Touehet- te effected two out of four.

This picture will be the attraction at the Bradley Theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday O. next week. "The Letter" is an ideal all- talking picture presentation and Miss Eagels, supported by an exeep- tional cast, will seldom be seen to better advantage on stage of screen.
 Miss Eagels, as a lady who loved neither too wisely nor too well gives a characterization of a woman seorn- ed that will not be forgotten easily by local theatregoers. Her magnetic personality has held the audiences in suspense from the opening scene to the closing one. Her voice registers

MAKING NUISANCE OF
 DUMPING PRIVILEGE
Public Warned That the De- posit of Decaying Matter, Etc. on High School Lot Must Cease.

Unthinking people or people with little regard for the welfare of their town have been dumping objection able refuse on the high school lot. The subject has been brought to at tention by John II. Bulger, chairman of the committee on buildings of the town schocl committee. in the hope that if given publieiiy the people re- sponsible will cease this undesirable practice.
 On the west side of the present playground is a depression that 1t IS desired to have flied in as a part of the proposed improvement to the ath- letic field. The place has been sug- gested as one where anyone having ashes, gravel, or earth to dispose q might put it. Such material will serve to help fill the depression and will relieve the committee of a part of the expense that will be entailed in filling up this location to level with the rest of the field
 It was not anticipated when this permission was given, or when t was asked that suitable material be dump ed there, that anyone would be SC thoughtless or SO disregard the pro prietics of the situation as to dump tin cans, deeayed matter and other objectionable substances. Such has happened but it must stop or prosecu- tions may follow Gravel. ashes. earth and suitable filling material may still be dumped there but net waste mat ter.

FIVE TO ONE
More Spent on Automobiles Than on
 Education at Above Ratio

For every dollar spent in Connecti- cut on public school education. there are approximately five spent on pas senger automobiles, a report from the national headquarters of the National Education Association states.
 The association asserts that the an- nual expenditure on public school edu- cation in Connecticut amounts to S34.- 62i,360 as against Si64, ,9q1 ,S23 spent annually on passenger motor ve- hicles.
 These figures. according to the re- port, reveal that school expenditures in the state total only 2O,99 per cent of automobile expenditures.
 This small percentage, however, Is greater than the ratio of the public school cost Co the automobile expendi- lures of the country as a whole. for the f0rty-eight states and the District of Columbia spend only 1886 per cent as much on public school educa- ton as on passenger cars, according Co the associations report.

 Q. P Heggie, brilliant portrayer of many characterizations on the stage, has the important role of the lawyer who saves Miss Eagels from convie- tion of a murder charge by saer'fic- ing professional ethics. Reginald Owen. as the outraged husband, has a strong role.
