 The following games bowled at the French Mfg Company alleys last night show you exactly what is what.

Creatures of Side Sh o W s Will Be Seen on Screen
 at Capitol Theatre

When I heard that Metro Gold wyn-Meyer was making a picture called Freaks I couldn't imagine how they could dare stage story around human monstrosities- -those grotesqhe creatures of the side shows" commented Eric Paulson, manager of the Capitol theatre, in referring to Freaks" the at traction coming to the Capitol next Tuesday.
 Perhaps many persons are won- dering what kind of picture Freaks can be hope every body will come to the Capitol theatre to see it-because nobody ever saw a picture like it. Even persons who never visited freak side show, even persons who hate the sight of mof1strosities will be fascinated by this picture. The pity of the lives of abnormal crea- lures, the burning ferocity of their loves and hatreds; the jeolousy, the mobility, the glimpse into world human, yet inhu1nal-all this makes Freaks the most extraor- dinary picture I've ever seen"

CAPITOL TO END TRI FEATURED
 SHOW TONIGHT
Doomed Battalion, 'Hasty Marriage and Golf
 Lesson on Bill

The Doomed Battalion" Has ty Marriage" and "A Lesson in Golf will be presented for the last times tonight at the Capitol theatre.
 In "The Doomed Battalion" bas- ed on conflicts in the Alps be- tween Austrian and Italian troops during the World War, Luis Tren- ker has the leading role.
 Although Trenker could not speak word of English when he arrived from Venna in Universal City to make "The Doomed Bat talion," the distinguished Austrian actor soon learned to speak every line of the picture perfectly.
 Unusual Linguistic Ability
 The seemingly impossible was accomplished through Trenker's unusual linguistic adaptability, and Director Cyril Gardner's patience in working the expression of his ready pupil. Trenker previously spoke Austrian, French, German, Swiss and Italian.
 Tala Birell and Victor Varconi are featured with Trenker in this gripping drama of war on the Italian Front
 Struck Over Head
 In "Hasty Marriage" delight ful comedy, Chase has the star role. The plot of the picture dis closes that a street car motor man is in favor of Chase, a pas senger on his car, placing a dam- age claim against his company. Chase is not in favor of the deal so he is cracked over the head with the control box handle and while still in a stupor signs his name on receipt for a $10,000 check
 "A Lesson in Golf" instructive and amusing sports picture, fea- lures Leo Diegler, former holder of the worlds golf title. Exclusive Golf Links One of Southern California's most beautiful and exclusive golf courses was used in the filming of the picture. The course used was the Bel-Air County Club grounds, located just outside of Los Angeles in a wooded glen.

Arms Embargo

One of the few beams of light in the murky international situation caused by Japan's actions in China is the demand of United States Senator for the outlawry of munition shipments to those countries. Per haps most Americans would view with com placency the shipment of munitions to China. But in case of this kind it would probably be necessary to forbid shipments to either side in order to shut off supplies from the aggressor. r.
 To right minded friends of peace and justice, it is surely an intoletable thing that, in the present state of world opinion, more business profit could have right of way, and arms should be supplied freely to an aggres- sor in defiance of his own countrys diplo- matic position and vital interest. More over, if we really believe in the principle of the Kellogg treaties, it follows logically that we should refrain from arming combatants who have sworn not to fight. Prohibition of arms exports has been too long delayed.

speaks the secretary of retail merchants board which is now conducting campaign to educate the public in the eostliness of re- turned goods. Men and women who shop carefully rarely return anything they buy and do not realize how many goods are re- turned by other purchasers. If the store has made mistake. of course. goods should be returned.
 In the great majority of cases the shopper returns his purchase-usually it is her pur- ehase-simply because of a whim. The honest and reliable consumer has to pay for such whims by added cost to the articles he buys and keeps. Thrift and economy are watchwords these days. As the public ex- poets those virtues in public officials. store homogeneous, and so on, it should practice them itself, and here is an easy place to do so.

Hiram Johnson. the orator from Cali fornia. thrilled the senate as it has not been thrilled at this session last week when he joined his voice in the plea for federal aid for the needy of this nation. One point that the senator made struck us as rather signi- fcant. Senator Johnson said that twelve years ago President Hoover was appealing to this nation to save starving Europe. To- day the situation in this country is as critical as it is in Europe. yet there are few federal officials desirous of saving starving United States. Of course the administration is mak- ing much fuss over the possibility of fed- eral dole Again Johnson pointed out that all relief work in this nation had started at the top We are now loaning to railroads. banks. and business houses. The individual must wait till the last, whereas our post war relief was directly concerned with indi- vidual needs The senator strikes respons- i've chord there.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY IS, 1882
Now's the Time to Plan

Despite the fact that republican majori- ties in both the house and senate last year defeated the proposed district court bill the Legislature will again be faced with similar measure when it eonvenes in l933, just year from this writing. The bill eliminates our present system of lower courts and sub- stitutes series of district courts. Of course It is death blow at republican patronage which they have held for so many years Incidentally it was openly admitted by re- publicans that this was the main reason for defeating the bill in le3l.
 s Undismayed by such prompt refusal to consider seriously this proposed court reform the Connecticut Judicial Council has just named a subcommittee to draw up new measure for legislative consideration in g1o33. With such men as Superior Court Judge Arthur F. Els. States Attorney Ar thur M. Brown, and Attorney Edward M. Day on this body we can expect a work manlike job when the bill is finally brought before the General Assembly. The measure isn't SO drastic as it IS made out to be. Of course to-day practically every city and town has it's own court of justice. There AIe pOiSe COuIto, IIty tOuItS' JuVtHle Souito, and those ruled over by justices of the peace.
 For these we would substitute about thirty district courts, definite section of the state being constituted one section. Waterbury would be the seat of one district which would include Naugatuck, Middle bury and other surrounding towns. The main purpose. of course, is to eliminate the justice courts which are generally considered obsolete and often not actual seats of us- tice It is often claimed that such courts are merely sources of patronage and make no pretense toward correct administration of the justice.
 It is to the credit of the democratic party that it threw itself wboleheartedly into the fight for the district court bill year ago. Governor Gross led the fight and made i, a matter of principle. Undoubtedly the dem- oentic platform this fall will include a plank calling upon favorable action towards the proposal. It is to be hoped that diff ferent lineup in the Legislature next year may mean a reversal of the l93l vote. The district court plan is no experiment in law administration. but a tried and verified fact. Connecticut will sooner or later fall in line with other states in this respect We would like to see the democrats accomplish it next year.

Dish-Washing Husbands

Well. of all things! A survey of various New York neighborhoods has brought out the fact that 39 l-2 per cent of the husbands of the community help with the evening h-washing ritual. The inquiry doesn't go quite far enough to reveal whether this is voluntary or involuntary assistance, whether the husbands perfer washing or drying dish- es whether they do the whole job alone and the word help is merely polite eu phemism. Inadequate and incomplete as it is, the one reported fact opens vast fields of speculation.
 First of all, one cannot help wondering how New York compares with tbe rest of the country. Is the figure higher west of the Hudson9 What section of the country has tbe greatest proportion of dish,wa,hing husbands' Is it development of the depres- sion or permanent American institution? Lastly. won't some one undertake survey to find out how many wive, help their bus bands with the disheso
