Hartford, Oct 26-At a recent meeting of the Maritime affairs committee of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, it was de- cided to enlist all public interests in Connecticut for the establish ment at a suitable Connecticut port of a school -,r training officers for the Merchant Marine service.
 Such a rounding out of our vo- cational education program is highly desirable for Connecticut with her traditi, IS of the sea and with a growing group of young men less likely to find those de- sirable opportunities they seek during the next few years in in- dustry, transportation. retail and wholesale commerce of the land.
 The federal government under existing au, Aority is required upon the request of governor to fur nish a naval ship for such pur- poses and to appropriate dollar for dollar against state appropriations for such sehoolship coast, up to $25.000 for certain designated ports A Connecticut port is at present not among those so named.

SEAT CAPACITY AT
 THE WOMEN'SC CLUB
Little Theater to Produce
 There re-Detail of Stage Business for lst Play
ALL HANDS ARE BUSY

Many have been making inquiries as to the seating arrangement at the Waterbury Women's club, where the Little Theater produc- tions will be presented this season. The following information has been announced. The main floor has a seating capacity of five hundred and forty-six. twenty-one rows. each containing thirteen seats. There are two blocks the even numbers to the right, ranging from to 26; the odd numbers in the left block ranging from 1 to 25. Without see- ing a chart of seats one can have a pretty good idea of the location of any seat in the auditorium.
 The balcony has capacity of one hundred. In the event that more seats are desired than con- tained in this seat chart an extra performance will be given to take care of all. Mrs A. L. Purintou, business manager and Miss Jane Butler, her assistant, will decide on the necessity of this when check ing up on memberships.
 A newcomer in the Little Theater this year is De Witt Parker, who has had some experience backstage in New York theaters. He will be stage manager this season. In the coming performance, "The Devil ln the Cheese" there will be consid- erable stage business, such as off, stage music, "black outs," numer- ous curtain cues, aeroplane noises, crashes, explosions, storms at sed, cannibalistic tom-toms; all this added to fourteen characters dash ing on and off for change of costume in quick time, are just a few of the incidenLais that will keep the stage manager busy.
 Another tricky job for this play will be the business of makeup. Mir and Mrs John s. F. Castle will be in charge of this, and their job ranges from swarthy black canni- bals, an Egyptian God, a suntan young hero and heroine, Greek monks with flowing boards, dyspep tic politicians to Greek shepherds. All this with many mechanical con- trivances are a part of producing The Devil in the Cheese"
 Mrs Edwin Jones, musical direc- tor, will again be with the group furnishing the necessary music.
