With the accidental death of Father George H.

 A man of rare sensibility, of more than ordinary priestly ability and constructive genius, man clean and high minded in character and kindly natured, Father Woodley ypfied the highest ideals Of s hurch His ex
 ample to those he leaves beneficsales of his noble work clear and shining light of hope md faith Those workers who remain feeling the inspiration of that great beacon light of the church for which he served will keep faith with him.
 The Seward Gateway feels in the death of Father Woodley personal bereavement. His memory will long endure as that of of ovabe personality great force of character true religious instincts and single minded devotion to the Master for whom he served apostle But Father Woodey is only asleep; Alaska has not lost this friend T the resurrection and the fe he that believeth in Me shall never de.'

THE GREATEST DIRIGIBLE


 The largest dirigible built the U. S. Navys Ak ron has taken the air for series of test flights the result of which will be keeny interesting to the tical world This monster of the air has gas bag ca pacity of six and half million cubic feet, nearly twice that of the Graf Zeppelin
 The Akron is 785 feetlong with greatest diameter of 133 feet Eight engines will develop 480 horsepower, and maximum speed of 84 miles an hour. At ordinary cruising speed the ship will be able to travel 10000 miles without refueng It will exert gross lift of about 200 tons, and carry useful load of about 90 tons Equip ment will include number of small arpanes and several rapid-fire guns.
 In view of the disasters which have attended the op- eraton of drgbles in the past is natural to speculate the Akrons fate One has only to recall the destruc British R101 and six other large drgbles the French Dixnude, the Italian Itala and many others to realize how few drigbles those of the improved type of recent years have survived for any great length of time

COPIUS CRITICS
 FOR YALE DRAMAS
Fourteen Hundred Men and Women Engaged in Re-
 viewing Plays
ALL AUDIENCE CRITICISES

New Haven. Conn, March 30.-- This city has an audience of 1,4OO from all walks of life who are actively engaged in writ ing reviews of newly produced plays.
 These critics do not spend their entire time writing. By day they may be business men, professors, housewives, professional and busi- ness women. They take an imortant place in the work of the department of drama at Yale university, whereby student piaywrights, costume and scene designers, and technicians get a public criticism of their work. They are the invited audience before whom Professor George Pierce Baker, chairman of the department, presents plays written by his stu dents in play writing.
 Each member of the audience sub mits a written criticism of each play performed, and these are carefully considered by the author As the reaction of the public to play is always uncertain, this cross-section audience gives a pre-view of defects which otherwise might not appear until the play is professionally pro- duced.
 Membership in the private audi ence is cherished possession, and as vacancies arise they are filled from a waiting list of interested per- sons. Most of the members have at tended regularly since 1925, having followed the department from its temporary quarters in private resi- Idence to the new theater and work saop built through the gift of Ed c ,1r fpi Itx to write criticism disqualifies a member of the invited audience from further attendance.
 Equally important from the stand point of the derartment are the comments on production. The orig inal play forms nucleus giving an opportunity for creative and inter- pretive work by students of scene designing, costume designing, light ling, directing, pantomime, technical management and other phases of the drama taught by the department In it's theater and workshop, termed the best equipped plant of its kind in America, students design. build and stage the entire production, un- der faculty supervision. Only raw materials enter the shop. These are converted by the students into seen cry, costumes. or certain construct ed properties. as the case may be. Through actual experience on vari- ous "production crews" each stu dent becomes acquainted with all the practical phases if the theater in addition to his own field.
 This method of student training enables the department of drama to give it's playwrights productions which compare favorably with the professional stage, and its technical students ample opportunity for con- crete expression.

area. The section within the pilinS was pumped dry before operations on the bridge itself were started.
 The new bridge is of the triple box reinforced concrete, culvert type with a span of sixty-five feet. The traffic passage on the new bridge will be four feet wide as com pared with former width of thirty feet. It will have two five-foot side walks. The span will carry about four feet heigher than the old one' thus preventing all chance of over flow by the river.
 Construction work has been tax ing place in sections. The old bridge was left standing to carry traffic while one half of the new structure was being built. When this half IS completed it will be opened to traf- fic and the old span will be demolish- ed. Work will then proceed on the second half of the undertaking. Dur ing construction, street railway ser vice has been and will continue to be uninterrupted and a temporary main is carrying the water supply without interruption.
 Work on the new bridge. which IS being constructed under the super vision of R. w. Stevens, division en- gineer of the departments Hartford division, is expected to be finished late this fall.

FINE PROGRAM
 BY MRS NUHN
Lyric Soprano Assisted By Mrs David of New York
 in Artistic Numbers
A MUSICAL TREAT

A large and interested audience was present Saturday night at the Waterbury Women's club to hear Mrs Marjorie Soper Nuhn, lyric so- prano. assisted by Mrs Elizabeth Harbison David, composer-pianist of New York city. Mrs Nuhn, who is soprano soloist at the Second Con- gregational church. and who has sung widely in this state and else- where, presented several artistic groups of songs in English, French, Italian and German. In addition to excellent accompaniments to Mrs Nuhn's numbers Mrs David played some piano solos. Mir Ross David, husband of Mrs David and teacher of Mrs Nuhn was present.
 Mrs Nuhn possesses rich soprano voice, with d vocal range adequate for her types of songs on Saturday nights program. She sings with in- telligence and deep feeling which was manifested in her various inter- pretations. In her groups of Eng fish songs, Mrs Nuhn gave Mozart's very impressive "Alleluia' in splen- did manner. Her 70 Sleep Why Dost Thou Leave Me-" by Handel was also sung with finished style, smoothness and careful noting of the phrasing noticeable throughout the number, as well as a delicacy and lightness of attack. In the same vein was Bach's My Heart Ever Faithful" also unusually well executed.
 In her second English group Mrs Nuhn sang a pleasing number by Mrs David, her accompanist. It was q song titled "ProceSsional." Other songs in English included Beyond" by Barnett, "A Pages Road Song," by Novello, and "The Days Begun," by Edwards. Mrs Nuhn's voice was sympathetic in her French group which included Les Heures,' by Chausson, "Quelle Souf- france" by Lcnormand. and a De- pussy number, "Mandoline."
 Represented in her Italian selec- tons were Pace. Pace," from Yer dis La Forza del Destino," Res phighi's Stornelltrice," and "Caro, Caro- el mic Bambin," by Guarni- eri. Several artistic German songs were sung with real art by Mrs Nuhn. They were Schumann's "Fruhlingsnacht," Mendelssohn's "Auf F'lugeln des Gesanges," an- other by Schumann, "Windmung," and Brahms "Wie Melodien Zieht es Mir" This was well chosen group and happily suited to Mrs Nuhn's voice.
 Among her encores generously given "Honeysuckles," and "A Sing ing Lesson," both by Mrs David, and special request number and fa- vorite selection My Wild Home" Both Mrs Nuhn and Mrs David re- ceived many beautiful floral gifts.
