Candy Not Forbidden TO THE
 FAT

I\o need to deny yourself all good things because you overweight. Modern physicians do not advise starvation. They know the dangers of it. They know that people who are over-fat have generally an under-active gland. So they supply the factor, for lack of which too much food goes to fat.
 This modern method is the basis of Marmola prescription tablets. These tab lets were perfected, and arc prepared, by a famous medical laboratory. A book in each box states the formula and explains the reasons for results.
 For 2 years Marmola has held the top place in its field. Millions of boxes have been used in fighting fat. The people who gained new youth and beauty, new health and vigor, have told others. Now the re- suits are seen everywhere, Excess fat has largely disappeared
 There IS usually no excuse for an ab- normal figure and the dangers which go with it. If the cause is an under-actiye gland, Marmola is the right way to com bat 1t. For P years, countless people have been learning what 1t does.
 Go try Marmola and learn what they have learned. Read the book in the box, then do as directed. Take four tablets day. When you sec that results are com ing, go on and complete them. You owe that to your future. Start today.
 Marmoa prescription tablets are sold by
 all druggists at $l box. Any druggist
 who is out will gladly order for you.

PLANNING THE NEW NUDDJETOWN BRIDGE

1t is apparent that the state high way department is not inclined to wait an indefinite time before mak- ing an effort to push the construc- ton of the new Middletown-P Port Hand bridge. The highway department is offering unstintcd cooperation with the bridge commission appoint cd by the last Legislature, which Is to have it's report ready before the meeting of the next Legislature in '1931. That in itself means delay of more than year before anything tangible can result. But it is pos sible by that time to have a we'll considered plan ready and the blue prints in order: and it is in this connection that the highway depart ment is lending it's best efforts.
 One of the routes under considcra- ton involved the use of Washington street, Middletown, as the approach 10 the bridge from the Wsct. Thls would include an elevation of the bridge over the railroad stracks and be high enough to permit much of the river traffic to pass under II without the opening of draw bridge. There must be a draw any how. however. in order to meet the requirements of the war department at Washington. The Middleto#n ap- approach would involve considerable of a grade, however.
 The other route would be consld- ! erable to the north of the present structure, and would use Wilcox ls- land as base for one of the piers It would be more expensive than the other.
 It is said to be the idea of the state highway department to im- prove the trunk line running diagon- ally through the state, either via New Haven and Middletown or from Danbury. Waterbury. Meriden, Mid dletown and thence to Willimantlc and beyond.
 No one can have serious objcc- ton tc this plan. But there 5 an- other that should not De .Terlooked. That is the imperative need of a bridge at Rocky Hill, which would be an advantage to New Britain and vicinity and allow a more direct route to the eastern part of the state and to Boston and Providence. | This route in a sense would be a connection of the Middletown route, as traffic now must either cross the Connecticut at Middletown or Hart
 ford, resulting in extra mileage in
 either case.
 It is said to be probable that neither the state highway depart
 ment or the Legislature mill listen 10
 the. Rocky IIill project until the | AIiddlctown bridge is either finished
 or well Mndcr way The Rocky Hill
 project, however, could well be given
 more attention than it is receiving by the state highway department.

MORE ON CITY MANAGERS

The supposition that, when city has a city manager, citizens depend upon one man 10 administer its af- fairs and lose interest in the details of municipal government, is old. we are rather surprised that George A. Ouiglcv brought that up, as he did at a meeting of property owners.
 The city already is operated upon the manager plan in it's departments Because the city engineer is man ager of his department does not mean that citizens are not interest," ed in how he performs his work. Be- cause Thomas Linder is manager of his department does not signify popular apathy in how he manages not to hear some Of the property owners talk. And so down the line.
 True, these managers-regardless of what their actual titles may be- are under the Jurisdiction Of the mayor, who since the days of Mr. Ouiglcy as mayor has had more mower than any other mayor Tn the state. eve think MT. Qu'gley once himself said thaD. But so would a citv manager be susceptible to the oversight of the mayor and Common Council.
 A city manager is like any other manager. If he doesn't manage nroperIy he is brought to book. His job depends upon results. That IS why they are usually successful. No man would take such a job unless he -kncw how to run it. In the G11 cities niostly small medium, and some large, which had city managers at the end ot 192S-there arc now moro how the city managers carr" on is carefully watched by their employ CTS, the public.
 Mir. Quigley gave the impression New Britain is not the right size for 8 city manager. h that case it must be either too small or too large, pro- yided this reasoning is tenable.
 A glance at the list of cities hav- Ing city or town managers al the end Of 192S-(Page 3S0 in the 1929 World Aimanac) discIoses that the majority Of cities or towns thus blessed arc smaller in size than New Britain.

CEIE..ATING ARMISTICE DAY

Celebrations of Armistice Day have been changing. The early method was to stage imposing pa rades and turn the day into a militia " celebration. During the years inn mediately following the war this method came most natural to a populace which still vividly remem- bered the days Of armed conflict.
 The celebration in New Britain will include parade in the evening by the American Legion, and during the day there were floral tributes at | the base of the Walnut Hill monu- mcnt, and cessation of activities at l a. m.. these following a public meeting the evening before, This program is a marked change from those Of some previous anniversaries of the day.
 l It must be confessed that gradu- 1 ally some of the military flavor has been shorn of the Armistice Day celebration. Instead of a day given over exclusively to consideration of the victory in the World War there is a growing tendency to emphasize remembrances of the World Wars dead and the sacrifices incurred in it's victorious conclusion. There Is 1 also a far greater abundance Of what a few years ago would have been termed peace talk" Today, with 50 governments agreeing to outlaw war as a national policy. vet crans of the last struggle join in this manifestation of national and inter national idealism and hope as fer vcntly as President Hoover, the gov ernment, and the officials of all other governments, that the world may be saved another bath in the blood of it's manhood.
 Of the issues at stake in the last
 conflict there was one that was
 highly idealistic. and that was 10
 make the world a better place in
 which to live; which in it's analysis meant one bereft of militarism and
 the lust of any one nation or group
 of nations to dange the sword over
 others. This ideal has not been
 thoroughly accomplished, as there
 are still many men under arms
 throughout q Europe that cannot re-
 linuuish a clinging to old conceptions
 and ancient traditions within the
 short space Of one generation. But a
 q start has been made, pubic opln-
 ion everywhere has been aroused.
 Numerous treaties are within the
 archives Of the nations, testifying to
 the growth and wide diffusion of a
 permanent peace sentiment and the
 willingness of rulers to place the
 fate Of nations in the lap of agree
 able understanding rather than to
 rely once again upon the doubtful
 potcntialities of secret diplomacy,
 balances of power, and an armed , peace that needs only the flash from ' the pistol of some half-witted repro bate 10 plunge nations into blind
 fury and legalized murder.
 A plain consideration Of these ] things is worthy of an Armistice : bay anniversary. They lead to con structtye thinking. And it must not } be overlooked that, though the sign , cd treaties are important, they arc ! but scraps of paper unless the i'm polling motive in the minds of men l sincerely confirms that which is SC t piously written in these instruments q of international good will.

THE DRAMATIC CRITIC REPORTS 4 WEDDING
Found by Julia Wcsser

Beatrice Smith, yesterday. be- came. the bride of John Brown in as uninteresting a wedding cere- mony as this dull season has thus far produced.
 Nothing went wrong to bring even a semblancc of drama to the drab affair. Poorly constructed sand badly staged. the nuptials fail cd to hold the interest of the spec tators beyond the first few min utes. We have seen marches to the altar before, but never one that dragged as this did. Such bad direction is inexcusable. Even the casting was disappointing, and both the bride and groom num- bled their answers so that none be- yond the first few rows could hear a word.
 There is no doubt but the cere- mony was rehearsed, but evidently not we'll enough. for the Rev, Percival Dutton read his lines rather uneasily. He has given better performance in the past and will assuredly once again bring a note of sincerity to the part when his stage fright leaves him.
 Miss Smith gave rather dreary performance as the bride. She walked to the altar with little confidence and showed unmistak- able signs of nervousness. Mir. Brown, as the bridegroom. per haps little more experienced proved a better selection. He at least was outwardly calm and seemed to have an understanding of what the part required of him
 The one setting. that of the in- terior of St. Johns church, was eAQuisitely well done. although the background hardly suited the gowr selected by the bride-a white satin.

BUTTONS


 By M. F. Joerdens lis one of our saddest cases (And the keeper plotted a tear) But don't be afraid-he's harmless, The poor fellow you sec in here. Once he worked in a laundry, And the world seemed kind and fair, AS he happily twisted buttons Off customers underwear. But alas, the sky was clouded, And rift appeared in the lute, When a heartless manufacturer Brought out a buttonless suit. At first he bore up bravely Under the awful strain, But no laundry works could stand it,
 And something burst in his brain. Violent? No; in the kitchen He smiles as he shells the peas: Poor devil, he thinks they arc buttons
 From customers beeveedees!
