 The committee made a complete report in which it stated that the city was not liable for her illness but that there might be reason for giving the woman aid because she was misinformed by city officials. Although a motion of Councilman H. Stewart Hanes that she be paid the full amount, s419, was not passed a motion to pay half the damages was approved unanimously. This motion was made by Alderman Nair.
 Alderman Falk questioned City Engineer P. c. Merriam relative to a sanitary sewer on South street and the engineer said that hearing was called some time ago and that the ward representative were in vited. Alderman Falk was not present, the engineer said, and therefore did not hear the strong opposition to the plan. The work will be done, the engineer promised.
 Councilman Warner was also as- sured that the work of constructing the Barnesdale sewer would be hurried. Councilman Warner criti- cized the board of compensation and assessment and public works board for not getting together and pushing the matter through. The cause was laid to the town clerk S office for delay in getting out let ters in connection with it, he said.
 Mayor Paonessa assured the councilman tha tthe work would be hurried and a special meeting of the council will be called to approve it.
 Authority was granted the mayor, comptroller and city treasurer to supervise the audit of the city books, on motion of Alderman J. Gustave Johnson.
 The board of police commission CTS was given authority to install two signal lights. One will be at the corner of Hartford avenue and North street and theother will be at Lincoln and Hart streets inter- section. The cost will be approxi- mately $500.

| lrOeuvre-a controversy about the man. And it has remained for a bus conductor to cap the climax by writing in to suggest that all homes | could be happy if husbands and wives would only model their domes- | tic behavior after the professional pattern practiced by the men who run the buses.
 The controversy started when a French government official in Indo- China wrote the newspaper protest ing that only in the orient could one find the ancient ideal of womanhood.
 Tn a ntive woman," he wrote T am sure to find the submission and differences which no longer exist in the modern woman. espe- cially the type that has evolved since the war. The lack of indul- gence of our own women, and their absurd struggle for what they fancy as their freedom, only serve to harass men and to make them (the women) undesirable mates"
 | Then a woman university profess sor wrote in to uphold the cause of the modern women.
 Not Always Superior
 An intelligent woman," she de- clared, would be happy to obey a man who would show himself her superior. Is it her fault that often physical superiority does not mean superiority in other respects? I sus- | pect that our Indo-Chinese repre- sentative wants at the same time the submission of the native and the intelligence of the white woman." Then came the bus conductor with this contribution:
 T do my job on the back end of the bus and my colleague does
 his job on the front end, and be- cause we each stick to our jobs we arrive where we started for and we arrive on time. The same should apply in the home between man and

fathers house in Vienna, was only 26, the pride of his brilliant father, and a handsome young man ambi- tious to follow his fathers career. He came to Paris to continue his studies. His suicide was attributed to his despair of winning success as writer but NJ. Omer points out that while in Paris the young man met Marcelle and fell madly in love with her.
 A Favorite of the Quarter
 Marcelle Senthilh, a clerk in a municipal office in Lyons four years ago, came to Paris to seek her for tune and drifted into the bars and cabarets of the student quarter. She was a singer, a model and a dancer and as such she became we'll known in the Quarter. At length she con- tracted lung trouble, and although friends helped her to go to the country in an attempt to get well, she finally drifted back her and died in almost obscurity,
 But in her bright days Marcelle, according to NJ. Omer, was the sweetheart of the son of the Aus trian poet. For several months young Hoffmanstahl was infatuated with her, but finally his money ran out and he was forced to abandon his literary career here and return to Vienna. He left her with prom ises to be back soon.
 Two months after Marcelle died young Hoffmanstahl was planning to return to Paris. Then he learned what had happened to her. He brooded for a day or two and then shot himself
 A servant discovered the young mans body in his room and, panic stricken, rushed through the house screaming. She encountered the eld- CT Hoffmanstahl, who collapsed in a faint when he learned what had | happened. He failed to rally and physicians said he died of heart failure due to the shock.
 Paris has been paying a good deal of attention lately to an amusing controversy that has flourished in the columns of the newspaper

 Former Alderman William H. Judd was elected as councilman to succeed Frank A. Goddard, resigned. Among the many who welcomed him back was Councilman Samuel Sablotsky who previous to the al derman's resignation last April had engaged him in many cross-fire ar guments on the council floor.

Maurice Chevalier { n the Paramount Picture "Innocents of Paris"

In his current, and first, movie
 -'Innocents of Paris" Chevalior
 plays the part of a happy-go-
 lucky push cart singer of the Flea Market district of Paris.
 He gets a chance to go on the
 stage with his songs and panto-
 mime, and the plot affords him every opportunity to present the gorgeous values of his full reper-
 toire of songs-lyrics and ballads which have established him in actual life as the reigning king of entertainment in Europe. The picture is all-talking, and it might be added, all-Chevalier but the work of his support ing cast is none the less ade- quate and pleasing. Sylvia | Beecher, a beautiful young actress recruited from the stage.
 is the purveyor of the love in
 terest with M. Chevalier. .s.. | When Maurice Chevalier made | his debut at the Ziegfeld Fro!ic in New York in February the critics of the metropolis were as one in sounding his praises. They said that he was Will Rogers, Charlie Chaplin and All Jolson all under one straw hat, and they predicted that the film he had just finished making in Hollywood, his first for the nov ing picture public, would be q great success.
 It is difficult to describe the intangible quality of mimic art which this idol of the French stage wields over his audiences Young and old take him to their hearts as soon as they glimpse his all-persuasive smile. His is a l genius with something of the di- | vine spark that made La Bern l hardt immortal.
 | "Innocents of Paris" deals with the rise of a push cart peddler and singer, who gets his chance, and makes good on the stage The scenes are laid in the | French capital, The supporting cast is excellent in spite of the fact that Chevalier is the kind 1 of star who doesn't need support. | Maurice Chevalier, to France l and England what Eddie Cantor | and Al Jolson are to America. | and the greatest international | genius of song and pantomime l that New York has seen in | many a long day, has a song in | "1nnocents of Paris" which he believes will be his greatest lyric success.
 The song is Louise" and it was written especially for the French stage idol by Richard Whiting and Leo Robin, two of Broadway's best known cont posers of popular songs ard | musical comedy hits. It is a love
 ballad and is developed as the theme song of the production. | There are two other songs be- sides Louise" which Chevalier
 sings in English. They are Its
 a Habit of Mine," and On Top Of the World Alone"
 | Three songs which he sings in | French and puts over" in his
 own inimitable style of panto-
 mime and mimicry, are "Valen- l tine" the number which brought

Willow Brook park, in the 18th annual competition. The gen. eral standard of excellence among the entering teams is believed to be higher one this year than ever before, leading to the belief that events will be won and lost by only narrow margins and that prac- tically every entering troop will make a creditable showing.

This troop with headquarters at the Center Conere- Sational church has never yet been defeated, having won all 14 meets held in this city. and it is again planning to place formidable array or talent h the meet. but several other troops feel strong enough to really challenge its superiority and troop IS expected to meet the st'iffst competition or many years
 Among the other troops which are considered as pro3incnt contend"rs gre troop of the South Congresa tional church. troop 3 of the Trinity NJ. E. church. American I.esIoa troop :. troop 9 of the First Baptist church. troop 21 of the Nathan Hale junior high school, troop g of the Emmanuel Gospel church. troop 1 of Plainville. and Legion troop ss of kensinston.
