School Question
 in New Haven
Mayor Opposed on Reten- tion of Married Women
 as Teachers

They are wrestling with the married women question in the schools at New Haven. The mayor takes the ground' that a married woman whose husband Is working and getting living wage should make room for somebody who has fitness to teach and needs the in- come for living expenses. In this his honorq is opposed by some of the board members, who hold that the proper education of the chill dren should be the real question. not the financial needs of people for whom there are no vacancies The mayor does not deny this, and defends his position by stating that there is no reason why anybody should think that the children are being neglected because a single girl succeeds a married woman.
 This is getting to be a big ques- tion all overvthe country, not only in the schools, but in other places where there are more teachers than boards can employ. It is al- sos being discussed on other lines of endeavor. stores, factories and offices.

 sam Reynolds of Omaha, slim, 42-year old candidate for national commander, Is the man chosen to demand from the floor that the 1289 delegates also, vote on a minority report.
 He contends that a majority of the delegates are not in favor of immediate payment of the bonus and that the 36 state department recommendations were engineered by "40 or 50" congressman. He hopes to sway the delegates from their pledges.
 Should he be wrong in his be- lief, the talk will :. cost him his chance for the national comman- dership.

1.-THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP'' AND "RACE TRACK" AT THE STATE TO-DAY; PICTURES OF LAST SATURDAYS K. C.. CELEBRATION

Drama, torrid romance and thrilling action have been mingled to form one 1.-the finest pictures of recent months in "Devil and the Deep," lTallulah Bankhead's latest starring vehicle, which is at the State today. Here is real ex- citement for theater patrons-a good melodrama distinguished by three stellar performances, by Miss Bankhead, Gary Cooper and Charles Laughton, which should be placed high on the screens role of honor. 'e
 Under the able direction of Mari- on Gering, the film begins in a north African seaport, and moves swiftly through growing dramatic action to a terrific climax aboard a sinking submarine. The story, an adaptatoin by Benn w. Levy and Harry Hervey of a noval by by Maurice Larrouy called "Sirens and Tritons, follows the strange ma chinatoins :. of a submagine com mander's insane jealouSy of his young wife, which led to near -tra- gedy when the man goes com pletely mad and attempts to wreck the submarine with himself, his wife and the wife's lover aboard! Miss Bankhead Is ,glamorously beautiful in the role of Pauline Strum, the wife and gives by far the best performance of her screen career. Gary Cooper, in his first role since his extended trip abroad, Is responsible for a fine portrayal of the young lieutenant who loves the wife of his commander.
 Thrilling race track scenes at Agua Caliente are featured in James Cruze's production of "Raoe- track" companion feature on this bill.
 As an added attraction the man. agement presents exclusive pictures of the Knights of Columbus Gold en Jubilee celebration held here last Saturday in in honor of Father McGivney founder of the order. These pictures will be shown only at the State to-day, Thursday and Friday.. 1-s

WOlcOtt Fair
 50 Years Old
Special Significance At- tached to Celebration
 This Week

Hartford, Sept 14-Fifty years of steady progress will be com memorated by the Wolcott Agri- cultural Society Inc, when it holds its annual fair on Saturday the 17th. In addition to it's Golden Ju- bilee celebration the fair will also hold, on the same day, fitting ex- ercises commemorating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Wash ington. The usual classes of horses, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, pets, fruit, vegetables, ladies industrial and junior work will have more ex- hibits than usual, according to Sec- retary M. E. .Pierpont.
 The first fair was held on the Wolcott Green sixty years ago but the fair became an annual event. At the first fair $500 in premiums were paid for cattle which is far different from the present fairs when premiums amounting to sev- eral hundred dollars are annually paid for exhibits in all branches in agriculture and home making.
 Although the premiums were small as compared with to-day, at the early fairs each one was a struggle to make expenses and keep the institution intact. The first fair suffered a serious setback but it did not daunt the courage of those in charge. The $500 in pre- miums offered at the first fair was to have been raised through the catering privilege rented to the brother of a now prominent Wa terbury merchant. However, when the caterer discovered that his tent was upon public ground he refused to pay and eight public spirited men came to the rescue and con- tributed the necessary money so that the premiums could be paid.
 The officers of the first fair were: President, Harmon Payne, Water bury; ice-president. A. B. Pier pont, Waterbury; secretary and treasurer. p. A. Todd, Wolcott. MT Todd and a brother, John R. $. Todd, of Wolcott, who served on the executive committee, are the only surviving officers who directed the first fair.
 The present officers of Wolcott Fair are: President, l.. A. Moss, Wolcott: first vice-president, w. Fred Stills, Waterbury; second vice. president, J. B. Wakelee, Wolcott; third vice-president. Edward Garthwait. Woloott; executive sec retary and treasurer, M. E. Pier pont, Waterbury; entry secretary, Edward Pracny, Waterbury.

acostia resolution" would have cri- ticized severely President Hoover's action in calling out the troops. The majority report would have mentioned the eviction in concilia- tory tones. S ?. ..
 Brown, a member of the Penn sylvania delegation which drafted the strong "censure" report, said that regardless of the action on the compromise, the minority or Pennsylvania resolution would be presented on the floor with a de- -mand for a record vote.
 The result, 1t was predicted, would be bitter debate, something friends of the administration at Washington have been opposing ever since the convention as- sembled here.
 I've have seven states lined up with us," said Vincent A. Carroll, Philadelphia attorney. "A roll call may be legally demanded at the petition of three state dele gations." ,,
 "The :Anacostia' resolution will be the minority report of the sub committee" said Paul H. Griffith of Uniontown, Pa. We want a convention vote on it as is."
 The resolution for cash payment of the bonus was considered cer- tain to carry the legislative com mittee meeting at noon by a safe majority and to appear in conven- ton shortly thereafter.
 r The Nebraska delegation, backed by Missouri and Minnesota, will demand that a minority resolution against immediate payment be read and voted upon.
 Secretary of. War Hurley left last night without waiting for the issue to be settled, and Hanford MacNider. former minister to Canada, remained silent. Harry W. Colmery of Kansas is chairman of the legislative commit tee that will pass on the report of a subcommittee, favoring by a 5 to 4 vote the exchange of ad- justed compensation certificates

JOHN GILBERT IN DOWN. STAIRS, 1.-THE STRANGE LOVE OF MOLLY LOUvAIN" ON STRAND BILL NOW

"Downstairs," John Gilbert's latest picture of which he is the author as well as the star and in which his wife, Virginia Bruce, plays the heroine, is the headline attraction on the Strands double feature program to-day and to- morrow.
 The plot centers about a chauf- feur, audacious, good looking and without conscience, who enters. a European castle downstairs" by way of the servants hall and spreads a sinisetr web of decep- ton, trickery and intrigue that en- meshes the entire household-cook and countess. butler .sand baron alike. N.
 The stroy has a particularly powerful climax which takes place in the great wine cellars beneath the castle where the butler wreaks a unique and horrible revenge on the phiiandering chauffeur in re- turn for the latters' having brought dishonor on his wife. As sheer en- tertainment ""Downstairs' is in a class by itself for this picture com- pines mystery, shumor, tense drama and terrific surprise finish.
 Although 1t is Gtlbert's vivid portrayal as the ruthless chauffeur which dominates the story. the work of his supporting cast Is also above average, particularly that of Paul Lukas as the averaging butler and Virginia Bruce, as the young wife. whom the chauffeud attempts to sepaarte. from { her husband Others who handle their roles ad- mirably include Hedda Hopper.

 Efforts will be made at this af- ternoon's meeting to have the, "old guard" factions forget their diff .ferences. entirely and abolish the talk of factional differences. "As far as Waterbury is con icerned, there are no factions" said sChairman Crary to-day. -I be- heve in a unified party front in the campaign. There is no doubt but that the state will go democratic and that Waterbury will hand in a greater majority than 1t did two years ago when Gov. Cross was swept into off1ce."
 State reports still continued to carry on the talk of factoinal diff ferences, however. In Manches- ter. the home of ,Dr B. G. Dolan, new guard" leader, the "old guard" faction won a distinct vic- tory in last nights caucuses. The candidate for registrar of voters backed by Dr Dolan was beaten by the candidate approved by the "old guard.

 He cited reductions of salaries, the organized effort to reduce tax ation and curtailment of govern ment expenditures.
