REAL LIFE
"ABIE"

Instances Of girl Of one religion
marrying = man Of another are
frequent.
And It Is often that Irish ana
Jewish families are brought To-
gether through the bonds of matri-
mony.
"In those instances, a wonderful
spirit Of tolerance Is displayed by
the men and women Of the fami-
lfes," declares Anne Nichols, an-
thor and producer Of "Abie's Irish
Rose" made into q Paramount
screen attraction. and now show
ing at the Metropolitan Theater.
1T was from such case that I
got my inspiration for the story of
Able
AFTER 1 had written #. I as
sembled a cast of able players.
among them Bernard Gorcey, who
had been doing big part in 'Ka-
tinka,' an Arthur Hammerstein
production.
81 explained the plot to each Of
the players, and 1t was then that
/ learned thai -cey, who went
to the synagogue regularly, had
some time before married Jo-
sephine Condor. an Irish girl.
The story of Mr.. and Mrs. Cor.
cey reads not unlike that of my
central characters in 'Abie's Irish
Rose
"Gorcey kept secret from his
parents the fact that he had mar
ried one of another religion, and
his wife did likewise. When it
came to the discovery Of the mar
riage. each family took the news
like Trojans, and took the girl
and boz into their hearts.
THAT spirit of tolerance is just
what / have been trying to further
for years. There Is too much
bigotry and racial misunderstand-
4 in this cou tr..-. It should be
eliminated. and Il I can help with
'Abie's Irish Rose I win BE- ex-
treUaely happy.
Anne Mich Is was the advisory
supervisor on the Paramount pro-
duction OF "Abie's Irish Rose, !"
which was directed by Victor

 At 6:30 o'clock the drivers, their official observers. the newspaper men and the state policemen who conveyed the two groups were guests of the Harrington Hudson Co.,. at a dinner at the Bond hotel.
 MT. Patch announced the winner and called upon MT. Leonard to tell how he drove to maintain an average of almost 30 miles to the gallon. MT. Leonard first introduced his official observer, Gerard E. Loiselle. mana ger of the Wllimantic branch of the Norwich Bulletin, who attested to the fact that MT. Leonard did no coastins and kept his clutch engag ed at all times, except when stop ping and starting.
 MT, Patch reported that the sec end best record on the trip was made by an East Manchester dealer who covered the eastern route at a rate or 2S.4 miles per gallon. The best record on the western trip was made by Henry Lewis of Windsor at the rate of 26.9 and followed closely by the Warehouse Point dealer at 26.S miles.
 In thanking the observers and po- licemen, Daniel Harrington warned the dealers not to claim extrayagant performances for their car. Tt will challenge anything, but don't claim that 1t will beat anything on the road" he advised. He said the trip had developed into an endurance run for drivers and passengers, rather than an economy run for the cars.
 MT. Harrington traced the devel- opment of the automobile business over a period Of years. He called attention 10 a similar run by a four cylinder Essex eight years ago, when the cars did 1S.4 miles per gallon, under the most favorable condi- tions."
 Stating that the automobile husi- ness in general has not been 80 good during the past year, he said 1929 shows indications of being far ahead of it's predecessor.

SENATE MUST PASS
 0N ROOT FORMULA
Solons Say His Plan Is Subsd'
 tute for Old Reservation

Washington, March @-If the
 Root formula, designed to clear the
 way for the adherence of the United
 States to the world court. is accept
 ed. the question of Americas ad-
 hesion probably will be fought out
 in the senate.
 All members of tho senate who
 have publicly expressed an opinion
 declare that senate ratification seems
 to be necessary even if the sugges-
 tion to redraft Article " of the
 protocol Is agreed to by the
 countries concerned. Senators Walsh
 of Montana and Swanson of Virginia
 both democrats and both supporters
 of this country's adherence to the
 court. have declared that the Root
 formula was satisfactory but they
 have also declared that they believe
 senate ratification necessary. It is
 regarded as certain if the question
 comes up in the senate that there
 will be a vigorous fight made against adherence by some members who
 have been consistently opposed tc adhesion by the United States. Walsh indicated that he thought the mat.
 ter might be taken up at the specia, session.
 Chairman Borah of the senate for, eign relations committee has been g foe of American entry into the court and while he has not made his present attitude public in detail it k known that he is against adhesion l.s long as there Is a possibility Of the court being able to render advisory opinions over the opposition Of the United States.
 Senator Walsh regards the Roo formula as a substitute for reserva. ton which was adopted by the sen. ate three years ago when adherence to the court was voted. Some O
 the countries concerned failed tt approve their reservation.
 | The reservation stipulated that tho court should not render advisor! opinion or any subject in which tht | United States has or claims an in | terest. The suggested redraft c
 Article " provides similar safe guards.

 The achievement vas part Of the economy run held all over the United States yesterday by Essex dealers Mir. Leonard drove in the double run fostared by the Northern Connecticut Essex Dealers associa- ton,
 There were 80 Connecticut dealers entered. The run was sponsored by the Harrington Hudson Go. Of Hart ford. wholesale dealers in this ter ritory. J. A. Patch, wholesale man. ager for the Harrington Hudson concern. was manager Of {. trips, one going east 10 New London and one going west 10 Norfolk.
 Each car carried newspaper men as official observers. The Essex Town Challenger entered by the Honeyman's Auto Sales Co.,, Of this city was driven by Melvin Wallace of the Honeyman sales force. It carried two New Britain newspa per men. Due 10 the extra man and the added weight Of the car over the coaches used by other dealers, the New Britain car had a handicap from the start and averaged slight ly under 2l miles 10 the gallon.
 The total average made by all the cars, as anonunced by MT. Patch at a dinner in the Bond hotel last eve- ming, was 43 miles to the gallon. On the west trip where the going was much more difficult the average was ?2,2 miles per gallon.
 The start was made from McKin- ley's garage in East Hartford. The New Britain delegation left here shortly before 7;30 a. m, and left East Hartford about S:15.
 Both delegations left just as a heavy snow storm blew up. The delegation taking the east route soon drove out or the storm, but no, without considerable difficulty for the first few miles.
 The western delegation had the toughest going. Seven times as the road doubled back between Eas, Hartford and New Hartford they ran into the same storm.

Turkish Women Slow
to ADOPT Short Skirts

are not adopting the new regula-
lions in respect to short skirts and
bobbed hair as readily as was ex-

Shoe Man Inherits
Ancient Hammer

Fenton, Ohio.-O. S. Will
son, a South side shoe deal
er of this village, owns a
hammer with a history.
Documentary evidence in
Wilson's possession states
that the hammer was first
brought to this country from
Scotland in 100 by Jessy
Justice, who used it in the
construction of some of Phil
adelphia's early frame build
ings. At Justices death the
hammer was bequeathed to
his son and, descending from
one generation to the next, it
eventually came into it's pres
ent owners possession about
one month ago. The handle.
undoubtedly made from a
hickory sapling, was placed
in the hammer SO years ago.
