JOE E. BInOWN IN COMEDY
 HIT 'LOCAI BOY MAKES
 GOOD" CLOSING TONIGHT AT THE STATE

Joe E. Brown, who closes a three day engagement at Warner Bros State tonight in Local Boy Makes Good" his latest First National sterring vehicle, has become such an institution in every town, big and little-that his coming is hailed almost as if he were ac- tually one of the local boys.
 Joe Brown has never been seen in just the type of comedy exem- plifeid in Local Boy Makes Good" This picture, based on a very hu- man play by J. c. and Elliott Nu- gent, does not depend on slapstick for its laughs--but on the ludicrous situations which develop out of everyday happenings. Joe gets the laughs, but in @ different way.
 He plays the part of a timid col lege student afflicted with an in- feriority complex-and sup pressed desire to be 0 devil with the ladies and a hero on the ath- letic field. If he wins, it Is not without some of the most amusing complications that ever befell a fellowman.
 Featured in support are Dorothy Lee, Ruth Hall, Edward Woods, Edward Nugent, Wade Boteler, William Burress, John Harrington and many others.
 The surrounding program is ex- cellent and adds to the complete enjoyment of this riotous comedy feature presentation.

STRAND


 The marvellous seven act stage show now playing at Warner Bros Strand theater is proving to be the biggest and finest offering seen at this popular theater since the inno- walton of vaudeville.
 The show continues to-day, to- morrow and Sunday. After that the theater embarks on new policy of deluxe seven act vaudeville shows and talking screen features every Saturday and Sunday only. This new plan will enable the man. agement to procure headline acts "jumping' from town to town with ''fill-in" dates available and will bring to Waterbury the outstand- ing artists of the profession whose appearance of four day engage rnents was heretofore prohibitive because of exhorbitant salaries.
 The current bill Is a honey with Will Mastin and His ,iang headlin- ing the bill. Little sammy, four year old colored dancing sensation is with them and Knocking the audience dead" at every show.
 Milton Douglas & Go in From Soup to Nuts" have new act that goes over big as does the Hickey Brothers & Go in their comic skit "Firehouse Number IS"

NO CONSOLATION HERE.

In the election of Thomas R. Amlie, Progressive Republican, to Congress to fill out the unexpired term of the late Henry Allen Cooper in the First District of Wisconsin, there is no comfort for either the Hoover Administration the Drys But what ever discomfort there is in his success has probably been prepared for in advance as his election was conceded following his nomination in the primary election held on October 3.
 MT Amlie made his race as an antl-HooVer Administration Progressive Republican, and after a hot campaign in which he was supported by Senators Robert La Toilette and John J. Blame and Gov Philip F. La Toilette, defeated George w Blanchard State Senator, who made his race as a Hoover supporter. MT. Amlie advocated Fro hibition modification while the two La Foettes and Senator Blaine sought to make the issue referen- dunn on the Administrations handling of the un- employment problem and the tariff.
 Out of a total of 26155 votes cast in the Re- publican primary, MT. Ame was given majority of 1865 over Blanchard The total vote in Tues days special election about 1000 less than was cast by the Republicans in the primary indicating the interest taken in the latter was keener than ln the former This was undoubtedly due to the fact that it was conceded that Amle's nomination was tantamount to election. This view was proven to De correct by Tuesdays returns which gave Amne IA 200 votes out of total ot 25,lOO cast TOT all candidates thus showing a clear majority for him over the rest of the field.
 If there is no consolation for the Republican regulars and the Drys in the Wisconsin ballotlng, neither is there any for the Democrats. About the only thing it demonstrated clearly is that the La Toilette machine hasn't lost any of it's grip on State politics, and that has not been doubted by anyone.

CANADA'S GOLD POLICY.

1 Canadas policy as to the gold standard has been brought to head by the fact that many United State holders of the loan matured October l, are reported to have been demanding gold This issue of which about S120000oo remains outstand- ing is payable in Canada, but so long as Canada officially is the gold standard, gold can be de- manded and generally this stipulation is being made by holders in the States because Of the New York discount of around 16 per cent on Canadlan exchange
 Premier Bennett must decide whether gold IS to be shipped from Canada whether the Dominion will formally abandon the gold standard. Efforts have been made to obtain loan from the States, on terms favorable Canada, but difficulties nave been encountered cue to unsettled conditions in New York money markets. In banking circles tenn porary abandonment of the gold standard has been favored because it has been felt Canada has less to lose commercially from 2 wide disparity be-

WEATHER LORE.

People began speaking of the weather a long time ago. The first scientific treatise on the weather, says the United States Weather Bureau was written by Aristotle more than 300 years before the Christian era The Weather Bureau library which is the largest meteorological collection in the world has a big book on the weather by Albertus Magnus printed in 1494, and facsimile Of a weather journal printed kept by the Rev. William Merle of England, who recorded the weather day by day from 1887 to 1344 The first weather records in America, so far as known were kept by the Rev Johann Campanius who recorded the weather each day in the colony of New Sweden near the present site of Wilmington, Del, for the years 1644 and l645.

 From this it is clearly recognized that the bulk of the Territorial taxes derived from Alaska $ fisheries; though paying taxes up to the hilt for years paid yet there residents who believe the fishing interests should bear even more of the burden entire'y overlooking the spirit o1 1al play Propaganda has misled many to believe the cannery interests are thieves but personal and unbiased inquiry will quickly dispell that erroneous thought and one will find that those interests are fou:- square and honest.

 There's nothing hard about it except the irs' syllable "Eu" for which there is no precisely equivalent sound in English.
