Winter Slump Seen
 In Building Activity
November Permits Fall Both Below October and
 November, 1882, N. II. Road Survey

Building permits issued by cities and towns in Connecticut during the month of November not only showed definite indications of the annual winter slump in building activity. but their total valuation was considerably below that of Mo- vember, 1882, according to the monthly building survey taken by the Freight TrafIic Department of the New Haven Railroad among twenty-four communities along its right of way.
 As compared with the valuation of the permits issued by the same cities and towns in the month of october, the November figure stif- fered a decrease of close to s200.- 900. October had also brought a so that the trend for the entire fall has been downward.
 Despite the decline in the gener- al permit valuation, eleven of the twenty-four communities, covered in the survey, were able in No- vember to show gains over their October figures. These were Bris- tol, Derby, Hartford, Middletown, New Britain, New Haven. New London, Stamford, Torrington, West Haven and Wethersfield.
 Hartford headed the November list with permits valued at $102,- IFS, while New Haven and West Hartford were in second and third positions, respectively.
 As compared with November, 1882, the twenty-four cities and towns suffer a decrease in total permit value of nearly half a mill lion dollars. Ten of the communi- ties, however, enjoyed gains in November over the eleventh month

Hartford, Dec 2o.-Talxing the slogan Square Deal for All" the MIX Producer-Dealers association of Connecticut Thursday evening launched a campaign for public support of its stand against the milk marketing ruling of the State Board of MIX Control and to ate tract the consumers dollar to milk produced by members of the as- scciation b ycalling attention to it's quality.
 About 300 members of the asso- citation, meeting at the Hotel Gade, heard President M. D. Pierpont of Waterbury read a letter which he said was to be mailed Friday to all members, inclosing Square Deal" posters to be displayed on the farms and on the milk trucks of members.
 The announcement explained an earlier request to members with more than one truck on the road to notify the secretary-treasurer. Additional posters will be mailed for the extra trucks.

 The same letter will repeat to members of the association the ad- vice already given by its legal com mittee after an opinion from Att forneys Hugh M. Alcorn and Wil- liam D. Shew, that members submit to the Milk Control board any re- ports or information requested of them but refuse to pay cent into any pool"
 Mir Pierpont quoted MT Alcorn. Hartford county states attorney and chief of counsel for the Pro- ducer- Dealers, as saying that the Milk Control Act, creating the Board of Milk Control, gave the board no authority to demand any money from anyone except the li- cense fees paid by dealers.
 The boards ruling which has been operative since December l. orders dealers and producer dealers who have a larger than average share of the fluid milk market Che milk sold to householders and res- faurants in fluid form) to make payments into a state clearing house, the money to go to produc- CTS who have a less than average Share of the fluid market.
 First payments under the boards ruling are to be ordered about the tenth of January. That is the time," said MT Pierpont Thursday night, "when we are going to sit tight" If producer-dealers or in- dependent dealers, both of which

STRAND

Warmers Strand offers Katharine Hepburn in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and Flaming Gold" with Bill Boyd. Pat O'Brien and Mae Clark as it's feature at- fractions to-day and tomorrow.
 Sunday brings Metros smash hit musical Dancing Lady" starring Joan Crawford with Clark Gable. Production of a Broadway musical comedy from the first chorus re- hearsal is shown in it.
 First, backstage scenes show all the tumble and confusion of pre- pairing big show, chorines prac- ticing in sketchy costumes of all sorts, the stage bare of scenery, principals and producers wrang- ling and tangling in temperament tai rows. AS the story unfolds the show is gradually whipped into shape and, eventually, the com plete performance with gorgeous scenery and costumes is presented just as it would be in 0 big Broad way theater.
 According to Robert 2. Leon- ard, who directed the musical film from the sensational James War ner Bellah story of backstage life. this is the first time comprehen- sive, staging of show has been shown in a picture. Sammy Lee and Eddie Prinz staged the huge ensemble numbers with a chorus of hundred hand-picked girls se- lected from some ten thousand applicants.
 Appearing in the production with Miss Crawford and Gable are Franchot Tone, May Robson, Win nie Lightner, Fred Astaire, Rob- ert Benchley and Ted Healy and his stooges.
 Plan to attend the Strands big midnight show on New Years eve. Both these feature pictures will be shown in addition to innu- merable novelties and surprises planned by the management. Ad- mission will be 25 cents for both orchestra and balcony seats.

PALACE

The picture you will never stop
 talking agout Dinner at Eight" which ran on Broadway for more
 than year comes to Polls Sat-
 urday with the most breathtaking
 aggregation of stars ever gathered
 together in the history of motion
 pictures, SurpaSing even the cele-
 brated cast of Grand Hotel"
 There are no less than fourteen outstanding names in this super
 ambitious production. The univers- ally popular Marie Dressler heads the cast in the role of an old-time musical comedy star whose faded glories have not impaired her
 sense of humor. John Barrymore has a striking role as a matinee idol who has lost his hold on his public. Wallace Beery Is cast as a nouveau < riche millionaire, and Jean Harlow as his none to faith full wife who wants to "crash" so- ciety.
 The other famous Barrymore brother Lionel plays a shipbuilder who finds his business crashing a. bout his ears. Lee Tracy has made to-order role as a snappy Broad way theatrical agent. Edmund Lowe
 is seen as a young doctor catering a the whims of lovelorn society wom en, ,and equally prominent roles are filled by Billie Burke, Madge
 Evans, Jean Hersholt, Karen Nor
 ley, Louise Claseh Hale, Phillips Holmes and May Robson.
 The story encompasses an un-
 precedent range of emotional cli-
 maxes touching on martial conflicts
 the triumphs and defeats of busi ness enterprises, the clash of ar tistis temperaments and the tab Ibid aspects of society scandal and
 the tirkes of the theatrical trade.

COMPULSORY A

Three hundred years ago, citizens
in Connecticut were not merely urged
to clean up their towns. They were
required by law to keep the famous
common fields neat and clean.
Every one had to give one day a
year to this work or pay a fine OF FIVE
shillings.
The common fields played an I'M
portant part in colonial life. All In
habltants turned their cattle out to
Craze in these fields under the care
of a common cowherd paid by the
town. This left the farmers free to
work on their own land.
In 1856 In Wethersfield, Conn. the
cleanup job, which included clearing
away the thick brush, evidently got
ahead of the citizens, because they
voted to work one more day that
year than the law required.-Kansas

THEY MUST BE RIGHT

Representatives of the "gameSt group
in the world" have been busy since Sat-
urday, condemning the action of Mrs.
Helen Wills Moody, in defaulting her
tennis title to Miss Helen Jacobs.
The former champion is roundly
roasted for not being game enough to
play out the contest, no matter what
odds she faced, rather than lose to her
opponent through default.
Mrs Moody is reported to have entered
the championship games against the ad-
vice of her physician and was forced to
wear a brace to protect her body as a
result of an old injury.
She played through two hard sets, los
ing the first and winning the second.
There was every indication that she was
going to lose the third set and the title
when she suddenly announced she could
not go on and walked off the courts, Civ
ing the title to her opponent.
Now the "gamest group in the world,
or representatives of it, assail her action.
She is gutter" poor loser and
few other names that are not nice.
THE gamest group in the world, it
might be explained, are those who take
their sports by proxy. They sit in the
grandstands at tennis contests and know
more about tennis and every angle con-
cerning it, than Mrs. Moody, Miss Jacobs
and Bill Tilden combined.
They sit around the boxing ring and
cry yellow" and "quitter' when some
poor fellow in there doing his best, is los
ing. If he should start rally and ap-
pear to be getting an edge, they switch
their cries, directing them at his oppo-
nent.
They perch behind heavy wire screens
at baseball games and screech vile cpl
thets at the pitcher who walks man un-
Intentionally, or at any other player who
happens to incur their dislike.
They are the 'gamest group in the
world" as long as somebody else Is
standing the strain of competition, often
at severe physical cost unknown to any
but the athlete whose real gameness
prevents him from exposing it.
To satisfy them Mrs. Moody should
have kept on playing until she dropped
in her tracks She had no duty to her
self, her husband her future health. And
even had she fallen in collapse, the
"gamest group in the world" would have
risen up and called her 'quitter.
She has been a credit to every phase
of tennis and to clean sports since she
first handled racquet. Her mere name
is of more benefit to sports tnan the at
tendance of any number of such buzzaroS
as those who make up 1.-The gamest group
