 Billy House, a Gibraltar of joy who ships his laughter in carloa lots f. o. b. Gun or busD. leads the cast of ''Luckee Girl" up to the bar rier "Closed for the Season" at Parsons theater. Hartford. With the last curtain Saturday night, the playhouse is scheduled to go dark until fall.
 'Luckee Girl at it's first presen- tation last night, proved to be one of the snappiest shows of the sea- son. It swept to a climax in a gale of laughter after being halted sev- eral times by applause. It has a well balanced share of fun, sing ing and dancing.
 House is a comic who seems to have everything up his sleeve which he produces at the right moment It is worth the price of admission to watch him shimmy and sing Come on Let's Make Whoopee."
 Leota Lane. the leading lady. has personality, charm, acting ability and a sweet voice. She fills her role nicely. Eric Titus, in the male lead, also sings we'll and acts the part of the young law student whose father has arranged marriage against his wishes. Doris Vinton is a sprightly miss whose hoydenish mannerisms are in sharp contrast with the soulfulness of Miss Lane. In the third act last night Miss jNinton stopped the show with a buck dance. Lou Powers, Eliza beth Whitehead, Maude Allan and Lorraine Weimar do their tasks sat- isfactorily. Harry Puck is versa tile young man who contributes

An interesting sidelight on his investigations was tho fact that more Of the children with goitcr had been using iodizod salt than those without goitcr. Tn" result of this investigation offers opportu- nity for many theories.
 Ii is, of course, important to study the diets Of all of these chill dren 10 find out how many of them were eating diets deficient in vegetables and food containing iodine. Tho investigation throws some doubt on the use of iodized salt as an exact preventive Of goter.
 Unless the iodizcd salt is used freely on the table and in cooking, one cannot be certain that much Of the salt gets 10 inc child. This confirms tho views of many physi- clans who have insisted that the only safe way 10 he sure that the child receives an adequate dose of iodine is 10 give if iodine in the form Of tablet. liquid or other mcdi- cation.

Peter Rabbit was up in tho Old Pasture hiding in hole in a bram- lIe tanglc and Peter was very mis- erable. Peter was frightened and hurt He had been shot at by hunter with terrible gun Luckily for Peter, only two Of the l'ttle shots from that gun had hit him, but those were bad enough. At first they had stung like the sting Of wasp. Then they began 10 ache.
 So Peter U3s very misc rablc. in deed. He could hear tEa hunter tramping about and trying 10 fright, on him out Of inc bramolr tanglcs, The hunter had not seen just which bramblc tanSlc Peter htd darte,l into, so now he was tossing stones into the different hrambla tanglcs in the hope Of frightening Peter out. One Of these big stones landed very near where Peter was hHInE. But vas wise enough not to be frighten- cd out.
 By and by the hunter went away Still Peter did not move. IT, the first place he didn't dare 10, and in the second place he didn't feel like moving. Those little shots had gone clear through and hit the left shoul- der bone. IL wasn't q serious wound, but it was a painful one.
 "Oh dear" whimpered Peter. "Oh dear. Why didn't I stay at home in the dear Old Briar- patch. This thing never would have happened there. No. sir, this thing never would have happened there But I didn't think one Of those dreadful hunters would be up here in tho old Pasture. I hope h. doesn't shoot any onn else un here. am bucks tha. he didn't kill me 'I- wla' terrible things those guns are"
 Meanwhile tho hunter had Eon" on his way. "I guess l missed that Rabbit altogether thought the hunter. Tt was a hard shot anyway l thought I hit him, hut I guess l didn't. If I did hit him l couldn't - have hurt him much from the way he ran. He must have gone into a hole"
 Now that hunter had no regrets rave the one regret that he had fail cd to kill Peter. Apparently it didn't occur to him that if he had hit Pc fer even over so slightly, Peter would suffer. Hunters never ~"om 10 think Of tn" suffering they cause. So this hunter went his way with nc more thought for Peter Rabbit and finally left the old Pasture.
 Jolly, round, rcd Mr. Sun had gone to bed behind the Purple Hills before Peter ventured out Of his hid ing place. That leg that had been hit throbbed and burned. Peter found it easier to walk on three

 Jerry would tell me ought to have my head examined" she said with a chagrined little lsrgh. And I guess he'd be right. CT all the queer things for me 10 do. And l don't remember at all, Ind I'm sure Jerry and Sam didn't do It. fo' they never touch that top drawer or mine. There's nothing Of theirs in there, and l trained 'cm long ago 10 leave it alone. They know they'd get Hail Columbia if they did med dle with it, so 1t couldn't be either Of them"
 Even Mother Graham's slow foot steps. to which Mrs. Ticer and l accommodated our pace, had reach cd the sitting room by the time Mrs. Ticer had finished her Holuble eX- plantations.
