WARREN WILLIAM
 AT THE STATE

Warren William in "The Mind Reader" heads the double feature program at Warmers State to-day and tomorrow. As Chandra, the Great Magician, he plays the part of a clustering, although altogether likeable rascal. A dyed in -the-wool fraud who starts his career as @ patent medicine man, Chandra winds up as a home wrecker by telling wives their husbands' secret love affairs and vice versa. He not only hoodwinks the public, but the sweet girl he marries.
 But Chandra has his redeeming qualities as will be seen in the pie ture which Is filled with comedy situations and snappy dialogue as well as drama and romance.
 Constance Cummings supplies the romance as the innocent girl he hoodwinks into marriage, with AL len Jenkins as the comical assist ant to the Great Chandra. Donald Dillaway has the Juvenile role and others in the cast include Natalie Moorhead, Clara Blandick, Mayo Methot, Harry Beresford, Clarence Muse, Harry Stubbs, Robert Greig, Earle Foxe and Ruthelma Stew ems.
 The companion feature is "Whist- ling in the Dark. It is q mystery comedy with Ernest Trucx, one of the foremost comedians of the New York anud London stage, and Una Merkel, supplying most of the laughs. For eleven solid months ."Whistling in the Dark" made stage audiences laugh. Through the camera's added advantage m using Truex's unusual pantomimic gifts, more comedy and suspense have been introduced in the screen production.
 Truex and Merkel in the leading roles as Q pair of lovers captured by band of crooks and compelled to aid them in their illicit plans, have been surrounded by a cast of screen veterans. These include Edward Arnold. John Milan, c. Henry Gordon, Johnny Hines. Jo- seph Cawthorn. Nat Pendleton. Tenen Holtz and Marcelle Corday.

CHICAGO STRIKE OF STUDENTS IS
 BEARING FRUIT
They Want Their Teachers to Get s 0 m e of the $28,OOO,OOO Due in Back Salaries

Chicago, April 6-(UP)-school authorities made nasty efforts to- day to find way to pay part of the $28,000,000 back pay owed to teachers, but pupils whose sudden strike" yesterday seemed likely to result in victory prepared 10 stay away from their desks until they were assured that payment would be made.
 School authorities had been un- able to find the leaders in the strike which started yesterday when 15,000 pupils left their class rooms and marched in protest parade. Officials learned, however. that the pupils planned another demonstration to-day.
 At an emergency meeting of the board of education, plans to obtain funds from the Reconstruction Finance corporation were aban- doned and method whereby $1,- 100000, enough for two weeks pay. might be raised was advanced. Acting Mayor Fred Corr, Fred w. Sargent, chairman of the citizens committee on public expenditures. and Orville Taylor, president of the board of education, were to confer to-day on means for raising the cash. Bankers and other off, cials were expected to be sum- moned.
 Yesterdays demonstration, which started suddenly and spread with rapidity to many south side schools, saw thousands of pupils marching through streets carry ing banners and shouting demands for teachers pay. Students from Calumet, Englewood and Techni- cal high schools formed the major part of the strike. Others joined from scattered schools.
 Later in the day many parents brought their children back to unaware of the strike plans. Teach CTS continued classes for the pu- pills who did not strike.
 The program for payment up- on which officials worked to-day included a proposal to pay all back salaries in tax anticipation war rants unless cash is availble imme- ditely. This would necessitate re- vision of board resolution to limit warrants to 50 per cent of the 1892 levy. Warrants are &C., ceptable at face value or at a slight deduction in most Chicago stores.
 Several school principals ex- pressed belief that yesterdays strike was instigated by few radical" leaders, influenced by communist agitators and radical literature.

SHIRLEY GREY IN
 PALACE PICTURE

| To-day at the Palace will mark the opening of & double feature program that will have in the lead. ing role of the first feature little Waterbury miss, who Is now taking Hollywood by storm and on the caliber of the performances that she gave in this picture, far great CT things are looked for her In the near future, a rapid rise is assured by her characterization in this pic- ture.
 We are referring now to Shirley Grey. former idol of the Poli and Manhattan players here and who will be at the Palace, on the screen, this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. starred with Carole Lom- bard In "Virtue", one of the most seething dramas that Waterbury has been privileged to have seen in some time.
 There are two peculiarly femi- nine social problems which arc stressed in the plot of "Virtue."
 One Is, can a woman who has lived life of professional immor- ality, reform and win respectable place in society through marriage?
 The second is. should a girl with a past tell her husband about her previous experiences.
 In this colossal theme Miss Lombard is pictured as a New York city girl of easy virtue. who Is given a chance to reform, fol- lowing her plea of guilty after ar- rest. Pat O'Brien, the taxi driver, who admits that he knows all about women" accepts her as a stenographer temporarily out of work. He falls in love with her and asks her to marry him. she accepts. She needs the advice of friends and mentions nothing about her past life.
 How would a man, just married react to the discovery that his wife was formerly a woman of doubtful virtue react? Would he leave her. or what would happen, the answer is very dramatic and must be seen to be appreciated.
 The second feature on the pro- gram rivaling the first in magni- tude is "Mussolini Speaks", the great diary of one of the greatest leaders that has ever lived, and critics and leaders all over the world have proclaimed this as a masterpiece of educational and en- tertaining matter. Lowell Thomas the famed radio favorite. is also an integral part of this feature.
 Here is program that all should see and none can afford to miss at the small prices charged at the Palace.

EVERYTHING IS
BEING TAXED TO
HELP FARMERS
About All the Things You
Eat and Drink Must
Suffer
BY FREDERICK G. OTHMAN
Omitted Press StafY CORRESPONDENT

BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN
Omitted Press Stafr Correspondent
Washington, Nov. 2.--(UP).-
Almost everything Americans eat
and drink apparently Is destined to
be taxed for the benefit OF the
farmer. Fruit and vegetables are
all that so far have escaped taxes
Or consideration for taxing in the
agricultural adjustment campaign.
Even whisky, bootleg or legal,
will give its toll on the grain 1t
contains. There probably will be
levies on the ingredients of ice
cream sodas, custard pies and
WEIGH rarebit There is hardly any
dish concoctable by the housewife
which will not BIO taxed.
The taxes in each individual In
stance are expected to be in
flniteslmal, but In their aggregate
are intended to make about bill
lion dollars a year available to the
farmers In cash. This increased
agricultural purchasing power Is
intended to benefit the nation as q
whole.
Processing taxes already have
been levied on fundamental food
products, including wheat, corn and
hogs. These taxes lead to q host
Of levies on competing products
which Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace is attempting to fix.
A hearing has brought out testi-
inony that beef, fish, poultry. eggs
and vegetable oils all competed
with tho pork products and hence
should be taxed.
Another hearing was called to-
day to consider articles competing
with corn. Assembled witnesses said
beet and can sugar competed be-
cause sugar Is made fro mcorn.
They said that rice competed be-
cause brewers can use It In making
beer instead of corn meal. Tapioca,
sage and all other starches like
wise compete, they insist. and
hence should be taxed.
The administration, meantime, is
considering special processing
5 on sugar, even should 1t
not be found to compete with
corn. A similar tax on butter fat
Is being discussed seriously.
A typical dinner menu on the
near future therefore might show.
Shrimp cocktail (taxable because
fish completes with pork).
Consomme (taxable because 1t
contains beef extract and rice).
Pork roast (taxable In its own
right.
Bread and butter (both taxable)
String beans. (Taxable because
favored with salt pork.
Ice cream (taxable because
It contains butter fat).
Coffee (taxable II 1t contains
sugar..
And any sort Of salad would be
taxed, II It we're topped with Rus

ployed."
DR. William II. Coon, who long
has urged the highway be built to
its full length as soon as possible,
insisted the state should carry tho
road to completion now "as a re-
covery measure in a national emer-
gency."
"The present plan of construc-
tion," said DR. Coon, us to put the
whole thing UP to the legislature
OF 1895 and whether or not that
body will provide for the compile
ton Of the highway at once or
whether 1t will be dragged over
another six or eight year period, Is
entirely In the laps of the gods
largely political.
"It does not appear that any APP
plication has been made to the
federal government to construct
the highway in its entirety"
It would afford greater relief to
unemployed to put 10000 men to
work on the entire road than 1000
on the sections now being prepared
for construction, DIR Coon said, bas-
ing his estimate of the number OF
Jobs on the assertion Of the COVER
nor that 1000 mon would be given
employment under present plans.

Ing to follow Town Clerk
Louis Schiller Jr's suggestions
after this.
A few days ago Mr. Schiller
reported that q COW, turkey
and other domestic animals
had been killed by hunters who
shot without looking. He
warned hunters to find out
what they were shooting at
before discharging their weap-

Mr. X, the hero of this story,
saw something qulvcring In
the bush the other day. In

fired. Thinking he had killed
the animal he walked over to
inspect his trophy.
He hadn't killed It. It was

vows that after this he will
