zeal; he works with extraordinary energy and intensity of purpose with little but contempt for any one who disagrecs with him.
 Feat smith in Virginia
 The drys needed someone to handle congress. Cannon simply stepped into the job and took on the task of beating Candidate. Al Smith in Cannons state of Virginia and other southern states. He carried Virginia for Hoover and has now set up a state tic',et there to defeat the regular democratic candidates in this years election because they remain ed loyal to the party candidate in the presidential c1mDaign. Because Senator Carter Glass bitterly opposed CannNn's strenuous anti-S Smith ef- forts the bishoN oXnoc'S t0 drive him out of public life when Glass comes up for reelection in 1930.
 Like Wheeler, Bishop Cannon is not especially impressive in appear ance. He is @hout feet and g inches tall and ia Of years cd, Hn wears rimless gold sDcctac'cs and his hair is r;tN"r ~0'rSa. His f@cc has been somewhat drawn since he nearly died from fever which he Contra cted while taking shelter in an African hut during q storm.
 He talks slowly. distinctly and as if with complete authority, for he was once a school teacher. He knows how to smile and makes as good puns as anyone else. Without any of the graces of an orator. he can nevertheless put himself over from the platform.
 Is Fevcrisil Worker
 The bishop doesn't smoke. of course. and another Anti Saloon League leader remarks that he hasn't single redoeming vice" He allows himself almost no re- taxation, but plu~s along feverishly in his church and prohibition work.
 He reads everything except poetry and fiction. When he writes he

writes with the utmose verbosity His public statements run to almost unbelievable lengths - but he is constantly growing at the news papers because they don't print these statements in full.
 Much of the time he is travelling. Only recently he returned from the Mediterranean and the Holy Land, where he was sent by the Christian Herald as a reward for his effective ness against Al Smith. He has aver aged two European trips year for the last nine years. He travelled 12,- 900 miles during the presidential campaign, most of the time by auto mobile at 45 or 50 miles an hour, often dictating speeches or state ments or correspondence to a sten- ographer as he rode.
 His diversity of interest has most ly been in religious and reform fields, but he kicked up furore in 1927 when he instituted and headed a list of 42 prominent Southern clergymen who publicly called on Southern in dustrialists to grant their employees better working conditions.
 Plays Stock Market
 Lately it has become known that this practical, go-getting bishop for years has been playing the stock market-customari with success, for he is a close student of eco- monies. He has also made profitable investments in real estate and other projects.
 Some dry leaders frankly admit that Cannon's stock market specu- lations will greatly damage hls prestige among the lcsa >1nght ened dry in southern rural sections especially those who have little money,
 But what may take the curse off this business is the story one hears that Cannon has sunk nearly all the money he has ever made in the fur thcrance Of his causes. Many years ago he promoted temperance news paper in Richmond and lost many thousands on that. though he has re- cantly urged a chain of temperance nrwspa pers which would print "clean, properly filtered news" and thrilling stories of reconstructed happy homes" resulting from the dry laws.
 T have spent practically all l ever snved or made--approvimately over SG0. .O00-for the cause," Bishop Can non said last year.
 Afraid Of Nothing
 The man doesn't seem to he afraid of anyth hing. He has attacked the ad ministration as cheerfully as he at tackled the Catholic church in the campaign When Secretary Mellon opposed the proposal of Senator Har- ris of Georgia 10 appropriate S25, OOO,0Q0 for prohibition enforcement this year and other Anti Saloon League leaders were fumbling the ball badly. Cannon rushed to the fore and publicly accused Mellon of laxity, questioning his sincerity.
 Cannon graduated from the Princeton Theological Seminary and entered the ministry in Nir- ginia He was president of the Black stone College for Girls from 1914 to 1918. when he was elected a bishop. He has served as chairman of many religious boards and conferences un- connected with prohibition, and was

 Its first use will be 10 give some blocks of concrete the equivalent Of many years ageing, all within d few months.

WILMA RANKY AT STRAND

Wilma Banky comes into her own in Samuel Goldwyn's "The Awaken ing" which opened at the Strand theater last night for { days. The pleasing promise of all her previous pictures co-starred with Ronald Col man has finally ben fulfilled. Now starred in her own right for the first time. equipped with an unusual and moving vehicle. she becomes one Of the leading emotional actresses of the screen-a role in which her blonde beauty is. of course. Of great help.
 Miss Banky's role portrays her as the beautiful and pure idol of the little Alsatian village of Pre- dor. whom an officer of cavalry pursues for the sport of making another con- quest. When her seeming lapse from virtue is discovered she is driven from the village by the infuriated in- habitants. headed by Louis Wolheim as the wealthy peasant whose hand she has consistently refused. The tragedy grows deeper as it becomes apparent that the young officer. DOT trayed by Walter Byron. has lost his notions of an easy conquest and has actually talcn in love with the girl whose ruin he brought about. The suspense Of how the two of them finally reach happiness is continued with great skill up to the v:ry last scene of the film.
 The vaudeville program is head cd by the great Leon, presenting the worlds super thriller "The Death Ray Gun" in which he features the shooting Of human projectile through a sheet of solid armor plate. For years the Great Leon has eNperi mented with the Death Ray Gun. Many scientists have made similar experiments-Mr Leon has succeed ed. at least for theatrical purposes. The sccptics would say Here is an- other Of the Great Ieon's wonderful illusions. admitting that the Death Ray Gun is an illusion. it is probably the most baffling and thrilling and entertaining one, any llluslonlst can lay claim to- It is so clever. that even the most knowing have been unable to explain how it is done. The sheet of solid steel is subjected 10 the most rigid examination. A girl is loaded into the mouth Of cannon. this human projectile. apparently passes through this sheet of steel, appear ing none the worse for wear. upon the other side.

 It was impossible to push the car and Wezowicz told them so. He said he thought more of his health than Of their car, in explanation of his refusal to change the tires.
 Keinholt called them Vile name, Wezowicz said. and he warned
 Reinholt to close his mouth or someone would close it for him. Humphrey then struck Wezowicz, black. ming his eye.
 The women requested Wezowicz not to call the police and so he dil not do so. but a little later he went outside the gasoline station and Humphrey attacked him. Wezowicz said he seized the handle of "ja elk" and defended himself against Rein holt and Humphrey. In the scutfle, Wezowicz shook them off and in falling, Reinholt sustained d bruise on the cheek.

 which totalled almost six inches in
 less than five hours. struck New
 Britain about 4 o'clock Saturday aft ernoon and by nine o'cioc,. at night had caused confusion, and threat enel to lie up traffic.
 The weight of the snow caused considerable damage of a minor na-
 ture, although nothing of any seri- ousness was reported in this city Trolley cars between here and Hart
 ford were reported to have trouble. and at one time the schedule was said 10 be a half hour off. Buses on
 suburban lines as well as in the city struggled along the best they
 could. crowded to capacity.
 Telephone wires brof under the
 heavy weight in several places.
 Wires on Woodland, Adams and
