He said he discovered the open

occurred.
Their police car, parked along the

While Deputy Chief Scott said the
blast was gas explosion, he had No
theory as to what set it off.
The detonation apparently cent

the Beverly Hills Frocks, Inc, dress

Three floors of the Graybar Elcc.

FILM RANKS WITH FINEST
Common Clay" Features Constance
 Bonnet and Lew Ayres

Perhaps it's truism to say that good drama is always good. but the fact remains that worthwhile offer ings of the stage will find an even greater field in talking pictures.
 A case in point is that of Com mon Clay" in which Jane Cowl rode to fame before the footlights. Con stance Bennett seems about to reach international eminence in the screen version of this drama. judging from the reception according the film at theatres in all the Key cities. "Com- mon Clay" plays next Tuesday-Wed- nesday and Thursday at the Bradley Theatre.
 Miss Bennett's work is, of course, the outstanding feature of the pro- duetion. Her portrayal of the pleas ure-loving girl whom Fate seems bent on destroying, and who event ually manages to reach some meas ure of happiness after heart-break- ing struggle. is unquestionably one of the finest things the speaking screen has yet given us.

TRAFFIC DIRECTOR
 HIT BY AUTOMOBILE
Henry Hurdman Cut, Scratched and Bruised When Knocked
 Unconscious
Occupants of Car in Court a Week
 Ago

While directing one way traffic on School street, Sunday night about S.I5 o'clock. Henry Hurdman was knocked down by an automobile and rendered unconscious. The driver of the car that hit the traffic director was Walter krzemien of 80 Powhat- tan street. MT. Hurdman was taken to the hospital where his wounds were dressed. He was then sent home. His injuries consisted of a broken right thumb. laeerations and eontusions about the face and head and bruises about the body and legs.
 According to Mir. Hurdman's yer sion of the accident he was standing in the street. Near his left hand was red lantern. On the other side was a torch. He had his right hand extended to stop traffic and was signalling traffic with his left hand. That is all he remembers until he re- gained consciousness after being hit.
 Mir. Hurdman says that he has heard q rumor that a taxicab ope- rator was responsible for his injuries. This he denies saying that Putnam taxi drivers have been very eonsid- crate and observant when passing his stand near the junction of School and Providence streets.
 Says He Was Blinded
 According to the police the driver of the car that hit Mir. Hurdman says that he did not see the signal man due to glaring lights from auto mobiles coming from the opposite di- rection. In the car with krzemien was Edward Noga.
 The two occupants of the car gain ed some notoriety a few weeks ago when a filling station conducted by them was raided by the state police Liquor alleged to have been taken from the place disappeared after ii was in custody of the officers. The police alleged that the liquor wal stolen from them. Both men were arraigned in a justice court at North Grosvenordale and were fined small amounts for violation of the liquor law. The charge of theft of liquor was not pressed for lack of evidence
