Vaudeville Attractions
Miss Emily is called the artistic
athletic girl and justly deserves
the title. She performs the most
difficult feats on the flying rings
and webbing and concludes her
gymnastic exhibition with start
ling rope swivel or spin. Unques-
tionably the finest of all acrobatic
pyramid builders are the Interna-
tional Nine, a troupe of verile
young men who appear in one of
the fastest moving routines ever
witnessed. Starting off at a swift
pace they run the whole gamut of
shoulder mounting and pyramids,
at which they are exceptionally
agile and expert. Jean Hamid,
the understander, exhibits alb
normal strength by supporting the
other eight members of the act on
his shoulders, a feat requiring en-
ormous power of resistance.

NEWEST SECRETS IF SEA ARE TOLD

LA JOLLA, Calif., Feb, 4, (Py Mathematics is taking over the depths of the sea as one of it's latest fields of usefulness.
 An oceanographer, sitting in his laboratory, can plot wind velocities, temperatures and the amount of salt in ocean water to map ocean currents with fair ac- curacy #
 And he can predict velocities and directions of these currents at various depths with consider able certainty.
 The mathematical method is considered especially appropriate for dealing with scale ocean currents, especially drifts which regulate climates of nat ions and even continents, and which affect the fertility of the sea in food products.
 The ocean rivers are so huge and complicated that complete observations of them upon and under the surface have been i'm possible. #.
 Even the earth's rotation is a factor It causes ocean currents to defect to the right in the northern hemelsphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere

|PAWTUCKET BAND
 AIT THE CENTRAL Y
Gave Fine Concert Under Direction of Paul Wiggin
 Musical Instructor
TO COME HERE AGAIN

The Pawtucket. F.. !. high school band was heard in one of the finest concerts ever given in Waterbury at the Central Y. M. C. A. last evening. Under the direction of Paul Wiggin, instructor in music at the Pawtuck- ct high school, the band played a varied and difficult program that brought forth great deal of ap- plause from an appreciative audi ence. The concert lasted for one hour after which dancing took place. The music for the dance was fur nished by a selected orchestra from the band.
 An outstanding feature of the con- cert program was a xylophone solo by Miss Sybil Capwell, also of Paw tucket. Miss Capwell is a finished artist and displayed wonderful tech nique. Her solo was received with great applause.
 The band was brought to the Y M c. A. at the suggestion of J. Stan ley Brady of Waterbury who is a member of the Y. M c. A.. and Square-Circle club. MT Brady was at one time a member of this band and played in concert with them.
 The success of this concert war ranted second appearance of the band in Waterbury at the Y. M. c. next year and it is hoped that even greater number of persons will be able to take advantage of it, Plans were made with MT Wiggin last evening for such a future ap- pearance.

The replica of the Washington mansion and buildings of Mt. Yer non, which will form the American group at the International Colonial Exposition at Paris this spring, was put together with tools that, in many instances were hardly more sad- vanced than those with which the original structure was built accord ing to members of the American architectural and construction staff in charge of the work, now near ing completion. For a part of the work ordinary hammers, hand saws and similar tools had to be brought from the U. $.
 Despite this, through the adoption of American construction methods, and with material fabricated to specifications here, the mansion and six additional buildings which com prise the American group are now 90 per cent complete and will be turned over to the American com missioner general, c. Bascom Slemp, for the installation of exhibits on Meissner, of Sears. Roebuck and company, to whom the contract for the construction was let. MT. Meiss- ner, with Charles K. Bryant. super vising architect, recently returned from France.
 ''The erection of the American group is a truly remarkable testi- monial to American methods" MT Bryant said, mot only because ot the speed with which the work was accomplished, but also because of the precision with which the fabrication of the lumber and fixtures in this country was worked out from my drawings. Every piece fitted.
 l "The contract was not let unti October IF; five days later all the framing and roofing for the frs, six buildings, including the mansion were loaded at the port of Newark plant of Sears, Roebuck and ready to sail, and November actua building operations were under way in France.
