SMITH SCHOOL DAMAGE
 SETTLED FOR S22,635
Education Department Authorities and Insurance Adjustcr Reach
 Agreement on Payment

A settlement. satisfactory to the school department officials and 10 the adjusters, Bliss & Cole Co. Of Hartford. has been reached and ac- cording to it's terms, the city will receive S22 2,635 in insurance for the loss in the Smith school fire of last Friday night. The building dan- age was S19,3S5 and the damage to furniture and equipment has been placed at S3250.
 Questioned at noon yesterday Supt. Stanley H. Holmes said no settlement had been reached be- tween department officials and the insurance adjusters. However, when the finance committee met late in the afternoon School Building Su- pervisor John E. Downes presented figures that were acceptable to both sides and the finance committee will recommend acceptance at the next school board meeting.
 It is the opinion of the superin- tcndent that the allowance of the insurance company was liberal and 1t will be possible to repair the structure and replace destroyed equipment and supplies within the allowance.

 Start Being Boys

Providence, K. l., Oct. go (P - Defying police, students in Caswell and Brunonia halls, dormitories at Brown university, indulged in an orgy of bottle and furniture tossing for an hour and a half late last night and early this morning, caus- ing Thayer street. between George and Manning streets to be closed to traffic.
 Starting before midnight, accord ing to police, the students started to toss bottles, mattresses, doors and dows.
 Patrolman George F. Hughes, travelling the post near the univer- sity, notified Lieutenant Sheridan at Precinct Three station, who went to Thayer street with a squad.
 Police found the street in front of both dormitories strewn with glass and debris, and a motorist, who refused to reveal his identity, reported that one tire on his auto mobile had been slashed by broken glass.
 Lieutenant Sheridan and station patrolmen closed Thayer street to traffic and talked to Paul Snyder, president of the Cammarian club, asking him to bring the disturbance to a close. Snyder told the lieu tenant that he had done all in his power to stop the stduents, but they refused to listen to him.
 Dean Samuel Arnold was notified at his Mayflower street residence and Dean Kenneth o. Mason at his home on Medway street Dean Ar mold came to the scene, but the boys continued throwing articles out of the windows and shouting Ht police until after 12:30 o'clock, when the disturbance quieted down. Dean Arnold said he would conduct an in vestigation this morning.

EMBASSY THEATER

There are two Ramon Novarros, apparently. One is a whimsical CO., median, full of the joy of life, love and music The other is d tragic, dominant figure, compelling in it's intensity.
 One sees both these Novarros in a single picture in Gall of the Flesh,' the stars latest Metro-G Gold- WynMaycr picture now playing at the Embassy theater. Novarro starts as care-frec youth in the powerful story, and winds up as a character Booth, Barrett or Mansfield might well have played. And they could not have played il much better
 It is the story of a Spanish opera singer who @acrifices love and hap pinoss on the altar of fame only to find that love is, after all, far more powerful than the lure of the opera. Charles Brabin directed the story, in which Novarro sings operatic as well as popular songs and gives per- formance that is a notable milestone in his artistic career.
 The added comedy, Girl Shock" will rock anyone with great laughs. The name of this fun film is enough to bring laughs galore.

Law Requiring Parents to Allow Crippled Children to Have Care
 Of Experts Urged By Miss Leigh

have children restored as far as humanly possible and when I speak of restoration I am alluding not alone to the skillful reconstruction in bone and muscle often producing as it does results which are nothing short of miraculous but also the mental. spiritual and social read justment which takes place in the life of a hitherto lonely child through the wholesome work-a-day contact with their fellows and the realization of their quite definite re- responsibilities in the midst of a nor nal, healthy family life with it's daily round of activities and its quite definite facing of the future with purpose and resolution.
 Check Up in Homes Made
 "One hundred and thirty children are being checked up and followed through their own homes and com- munitics. In this connection it is such a pleasure to express our ap- preciation to all existing agencies and organizations who cooperate and help in so many thoughtful, practi- cal ways in the adjustment of our children in home, school or at work to say nothing of the repeated visits to our clinics when, as in quite a number of cases, we continue to carry and treat them as our pa tients.
 There are cases, of course when with all our efforts we are unable to obtain satisfactory or successful results, for as everyone knows cer- tain human characteristics and nat ures do not yield to treatment, but l am more and more convinced that these cases, which fortunately are very rare, must not be used as dis couragement but rather as chal- lenge for renewed. intensive effort to obtain equal advantages for our whole handicapped group with definite and significant opportunities in the case of the exceptional child"
