F. w. DOOlittle on
 Glacial Period
Subject of Address at the Central YMCA Yester=
 day Afternoon

"The Glacial Period" was the topic of a talk delivered yesterday afternoon at the Central Y. M. c. A.. by F. w. Doolittle, member of the Waterbury Naturalist Club. MT Doolittle said that the earth's age has been figured to be two billion years. The first glacial period, he said, occurred about 500,000 years ago and two other periods have oc- cured since then. He told his au- dience that the Meriden mountains had formerly been 11,O0O feet high but during the glacier period they were filed down to 1000 feet. Sci entists are predicting another gla- .cier in about 12,000 years.

 Saturday Night

A feature of the onyx club Of 42nd street, New York city, Satur- day evening was the song and dance number given by three of Water bury's best known juvenile enter tainers, Francis, Joseph and Ralph Phelan of 700 Baldwin street.
 The youngsters, sons of Patrolman and Mrs Joseph Phelan have been featured on many local and out or town programs in recent years. Their act Saturday night went over so big as to become conspicuous. From all indications Waterbury is to contrub- ute more stars to Brodaway's galaxy within a few years.

fer a better system of handling the cases to the public.
 It is reported, though, that the recommendation will not be adopted as offered. However, a modifica- tion of the idea is possible, it is said, extending the Jurisdiction of chartered courts now functioning over adjacent towns which have no organized courts.
 Wednesday night the Connecticut Association of City and Town Court Judges will meet in Hartford and it is likely that the proposal of the ju- dicial council will be among the principal things discussed.

Dare You Risk a Lesser
 Help for That Cough?

Creomulsion is made for difficult coughs-coughs from colds that hang on. It combines seven major helps in one. the best helps known to science. It is used for quick relief, for safety.
 For milder coughs lesser help may do. But dare you take the risk when any cough is signal of some danger? Is it not wise to use this seven-way help to be sure?
 Creomulsion costs $1.25-a little moro than most helps. But it costs you noth- ing if it fails to bring the quick relief you seek. Your druggist guarantees it. Use it for safety's sake.

Curiously enough, Irene Bor-

Incidentally, Irene is the only

DRESSER TELLS
HOLLYWOOD
ABOUT IT
Rv HARRISON CARROLL

By HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright. 1881. Premier syndicate)
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April 1
"They can't even begin to sug.
gest the psychology Of An
American Tragedy in q motion
picture of ordinary length"
Thus, Theodore Dresser frames
his chief objection against the
scenario that Paramount has
drawn up from his most famous
work. =,
Since arriving in Hollywood
the novelist has lodged all inter.
viewers, even keeping his place OF
residence secret. 1 came upon MIN
in the Casino at Aqua Caliente
famous Mexican resort. Abandon.
ing his play at roulette, he talked
of his disagreement with Para
mount over the film that is now
being made under the direction
of Josef Won Sternberg.
He admitted:
"My objections to the scenario
we're the sole purpose OF my
coming to California. You
simply can't tell the book In the
limited treatment they have
given it. 1 have stated my OBJ
jectiOns, and they have been
very courteous. You know how
these fights are. 1 shall stay
here a day, a week; there's
no telling"
The author says that an earlier
scenario, prepared by s. M
Eistenstein, the Russian director
thoroughly met his approval. 1t
called for many more reels, how
ever.
Phillip Holmes does very well
in what part of the picture he
has seen, declares Dresser, but he
favors the work Of Morgan Farley
in the New York stage version,
and even of Leslie Fenton, who
appeared in the Coast version.
Of Josef Won Sternberg, the
novelist merely remarks that he
might have been more polite.

In his broadcast the Secretary
will sum up the radio campaign
which has been conducted toward
blotting out illiteracy.
In case you didn't know it,
every time WRC is to get a net

they send through the preceding
hours broadcast to a control
room in the New York studios
in order to make sure the lines
are o. K.
OF course, this is not always
possible, because the network pro-
grams are taken one after an.
other. But sending up the local
stuff has on more than one oc.
casion brought some local lumi.
nary to the big time.
1t often happens that a New

the control room. If he likes
the act that's coming through

If the White .Sox had hung on to

Border Terrier Is ''Real Dog"
Plain Mutt Not Long Ago, Sturdy Breed at Last
Gets Social Recognition in United States

the American farm dog Is that OF
the border terrier. He had his WORK
10 do. he was good at 1t and NOBODY
ever thought Of him as an aristocrat
worthy of being entered In a show.
The border terriers job was TO
keep the big estates along the border
between England and Scotland from
being overrun with the kind OF
game that burrows. He is also used
nowadays to root the fox out OF MS
hole so the hounds can chase him.
The fox may be bigger than the
border terrier, but that makes no
difference to him. At Cadet Thayer's
home in Pennsylvania one day q bor-
der terrier pup attacked and killed
rat half an inch longer than he was.
Border terriers were admitted 70
British dog shows less than 20 years
ago. This year for the first time the
American Kennel Club has recog-
nized them as being Of pure breed.
But even now that he has attained
