 Connecticut will be one of the many states in the Union which will vote on the prohibition ques- tion. The democrats in the last legislature presented bill for such poll-to show congress how Con- necticut stands on the wet and dry question. Certain republicans in the legislature opposed the passage of the bill calling for this vote in the November election. However, the majority of the general assem- bly members, republicans and democrats, concurred and had the bill calling for the referendum passed.
 The registrars of voters were busy to-day compiling the list of referendums and amendments to be voted upon and said that they will be in a position to designate the positions of the various ques- tions on the voting machines very soon.

After listening to vivid stories of the

Carried to our hospital, little hopes
were held for Marjorie's life as her ILL

The girls at the home took an immedi-
ate interest in the slight Canadian
youngster and were genuinely anxious
about her condition. When the doctor
reported that transfusions were neces-

she might live. Five months elapsed

AURORA, Ill, January 23.-The
stores in Aurora were closed today, but
most of the citizens were working
working to make their city better
place in which to live.
A five-day business moratorium" de-
clared by Mayor Conrad Bjorseth to
build up public confidence and help set
business squarely on its feet, received
practically 100 per cent cooperation
from business men. Only drug stores
groceries, public utilities and such ne
cessities remained open.
And the mayors request to citizens to
ago out and boost" met with approval
"Well win" was the slogan carried to
hundreds of homes by 1000 minute
men" delegated to get pledges of de-
positors in the citys five banks not to
withdraw their funds.
Watchword Is Confidence.
Confidence was the watchword every
where Civic leaders proclaimed their
belief that Aurora can(cure its business
ills as effectively as did Urbana, Ill,
where a similar holiday" was pro-
nounced successful after operating only
48 hours.
The mayors proclamation put a
quick stop to peSsimistic gossip through
out the city. The closing of businesses
was entirely voluntary. Policemen pa
trolling the streets have no authority to
enforce the decree, but after its is
suance in an early morning extra of
newspaper, very few shops-and these
mostly small ones-def1ed it.
Purchases Limited.

iday" were practically the only items
purchasable in this town of $4,000 pop
ulation. Dentists and such like" as
a ffth-grade lad commented while Sit

were doing business.
But the movies were still selling tick
cts, and the hurrying crews of. can
vassers gave a stir of activity. For any
one who might not have heard OF the
moratorium, the closed shops and stores
bore placards on their doors telling all
about it.

Martha Graham Dances
Before Large Audience.
TIME most recent


TINE most recent of the many
dance artists who nave
wended their way to Wash
1 ington this season is Martha
Graham, Americas greatest
contribution to the Wigman cause,
who Yesterday afternoon at the Ma
tionai Theater won a steadily in
creasing ovation and by the time the
final curtain was reached had made
dozens of curtain calls.
Miss Graham is said to have been
doing the kind of dancing made
famous by Frau Wigman long before
either of them ever heard of each
other. It has been rumored, too,
that she is very nearly as great es
the Germanys terpsichorean heroine,
and that her native land has been
too long in recognizing her talents.
From the reception she received yes
terday 1t would seem, however, that
her art is not only definitely known
but also definitely appreciated. But
if she Is meant to be like Wlgman
she is also very unlike her and quite
distinct in most of her many moods.
What Miss Graham lacks in fire
in some Of her own creations, she
generously makes up for by her en-
semble interpretations. While her
"Incantation" yesterday seemed
somewhat confused in detail and Its
expressiveness too wooden for FAR
reaching inspiration, her primitive
Mysteries" as arranged against
blue background with her group.
dressed in darker blue, and herself
resp!endent in a white flowing dress,
was something to tickle the imagi-
nation as well as the more esthetlc
sense. Coming in like a Mary
Queen of Scots bent for execution,
Solidlv f1anked on either side by her
lines of marchers, Miss Graham in
terpreted this series of three dances
with extraordinary cle9rnesS and
rhythrlic sense of the picturesque
hitherto unseen in this field. She,
too, had trained her assistants to
such a pitch as made them seem
perfection in every move and gesture.
Other ensemble groups which were
particularly effective were the peas
ant dance "Rustica," the prelude
to a Dance" and the final "Herotic"
which is said to be the peak OF this
ladys dancing triumphs.
Miss Graham's particular personal
appeal lies in the expressiveness OF
her features, and her particularly
handsome arms and hands which
she uses to great advantage. While
Yesterday she was rather more bent
on Interpreting sorrow than joy she
was amazingly graceful in her
"Iamentation" and quite delightful
in her "Harlequinade" "Optmist.'
Whatever she did was distinctive and
original We, still, however, feel
(after the Wigman inundation, etc'l
that an audience prefers to see a
dance of 10y rather than a dance OF
grief-and that there is too little of
the former at present on the dancing
stage. E. de 5. MELCHEh'
