WORK

No honorable substitute for work
mas yet been discovered. Every sue
cessful man owes his success to work.
The early history of any successful
enterprise begins with the word
work" Were everybody to stop
working, the world would no longer
produce and the people would die of
hunger and exposure. Work is just
as important as sunlight.
1t would be fair to say that 80 per
cent of all the people are workers.
This 80 per cent represents the law
abiding, honest and thrifty element.
These people are busily employed
working out their own destinies, and
being busy they become loyal citizens
in the communities in which they
dwell
Among the remaining 20 percent
we find those who occupy their time
in search Of a substitute for work,
such as political trickery, thieving,
forging, Matchmaking, counterfeiting,
robbery, white slavery, smuggling,
gambling and other illegal substitutes
for work. To restrain this 20 per
cent Of the people from becoming
greater in numbers on too successful
in their endeavors, the so per cent are
obliged to pay out millions for police
protection, courts. prosecuting attor-
neys, detectives, judges, jails. prisons.
orphan asylums and retreats. The
desire of one-tifth Of the people to live
without working makes criminals of
many who might have become good
citizens had they been willing to work
for their living. When a man strives
to get his living in this way. he be-
comes a moth on civilization--only
the law forbids the determination of
The human moth.
Once in a while one Of the 20 per
cent makes good for a short period
and his success is allurng to others.
Jesse James made good for some time
and then stopped with a bullet in his
heart Ponzi succeeded for a while
and then went to prison. Pirates made
good hauls until overhauled by reve-
nue. cutters. Political grafters live
well until exposed. And so it goes
with all those who endeavor to find
substitute for work.
John d. Rockefeller, Henry Ford
and many other successful men started
in at two dollars a day. and not one
of them would be where they are to-
day had he not worked. A small
hunchback lad, who had a difficult
task getting into this country, worked
his way up until he became the high
est salaried mechanical engineer IN
the entire United States.
Looking for a substitute that will
nay as we'll as work has been the ruin
alton of many. 1t will n"ver win any
more than a slow horse wins the race.
Work wins lasting victories, makes
real men. builds homes, erects factor
les. and makes peaceful communities.
Looking for successful substitute is
like prospecting for Captain Kids
treasures-so many have tried it and
failed that work still locke like the
best bet for all of US.

At a meeting of the Substitute Postal Employees of Waterbury last night the proposed federal law with reference to the thirty years retirement act of postal employees was discussed. 1t was voted to forward a communication to the senators and congressman of this district on the matter.
 The communication follows: Dear Sir:-
 At a recent meeting of the Sub- stitute Postal Employees Associa- ton of Waterbury, Conn, the ques- tion of the fairness and feasibility of the pending legislation pertain ing to the compulsory retirement of federal employees after 30 years service was taken up. This organ ization went on record as being unanimously in favor of this bill.
 Our members voted that you be informed of our attitude, and ask that you give your support to the measure when it comes up for a vote in the house of representa- tives.
 We solicit your support for the enactment of this law because of the fact that it will create work and because we fail to see whero 1t will place any burden on the shoulders of those who will be re- tired if this bill becomes a law, for these men will receive an an- nuity which amounts to $100 a month, whcih is about $70.00 more per month than we are earning at present, and have been for the past year. As you know, we have a civil service status, and upon being appointed substitutes we are sub

 The great "King Kong'' even reaches into the sky and provides a new menace for airmen. A snatch at 8 plane pumping machine gun bullets into his tough hide, and it is doomed.
 "King Kong" is a terror - the mightiest terror man, either in or out of fiction and of the movies, ever attempted to capture and Sub due!
 The imagination of the story is something to marvel at, but the visualization of tits production Is miracle of modern science. It blends fancy with realism so mag ically that you question what is fact and what isn't!

The fragile, golden haired heroine is the first in millions of years to touch a soft, tender spot in the heart of this Beast, and for her he kills giant terrors and wreaks havoc with mankind and it's inventions. But his laundering idea of protec- tion of course terrorizes the girl, and thrills the audience as well.

 State Engagement

Suppose you found a baby on your doorstep, Mir Bachelor. zee. What would you do? That's the sit- uation Maurice Chevalier faces in Paramount's "A Bedtime Story which begins a four day engage ment at Warmers State tomorrow. Edward, Everett Horton, Helen Twelvetrees and Adrienne Ames are in the supporting cast, togeth- CT with Baby LeRoy, the 12 months old child wonder who is capturing tn hearts of the nations millions of movie fans.
 He's a grand, the gay, naughty, pouting Maurice who'll make you so envious of his charm, his good humor, his delightful manner. You'll roar at the incomparable antics of Edward Everett Horton, the bachelors valet; the alluring Parisian beauties will have you goggle-eyed. But best of all Is the gurgling year-old youngster, Baby Leroy, selected to play the role in a competition that includ- ed practically every infant on the Pacific Coast. And it's no won der he won the part-for he does things you never thought any youngster his age was capable of doing-a perfect foil for Cheva- Her.
 Helen Twelvetrees celebrates her return to the screen after a years absence as the American girl, hired by Chevalier as nurse for the baby. The baby falls in love with her-and so does Che valier.
 It's real entertainment with a high premium on songs laughs and looks-a real "bedtime story'' that will keep you awake night talking about it.

pect to call at any time at the dis erection of the local postal authori-. ties. Many of us left positions in order to be available for this work, of which there has been very little during the past two years, taking the third quarter of the fis- cal year, (January, February and March) as an example. The av- craze weekly pay for a substitute in Waterbury was $7.00. Over 50 per cent of our members are mar ried men with families. We can- not get any relief from the local charities because we are on the government payroll. It Is impos- sible for us to take employment elsewhere, especially out of town and maintain our place on the sub- stitute register, so you can readily see why this legislation would be a boon to our members.
 The national organizations Of postal employees (both carriers and clerks) for years have advocated 9 law such as this, and now when it is about to become a law in re- ality, those employees, who would be affected are objecting very strenu- ously.
 After two years of living on the wages such as we have been living on with unpaid bills piled up on us and our credit exhausted, we feel that we are justified in urging the passage of this bill.
 Hoping you will see the justice of our claims and cast your vote in favor of this legislation, we re- main,

China Will Inject Railway Dispute In
 Talks At Capital
Boxer Protocal-Both of These Proposals Will Try to Show That Japan Is Stealing Railway

Peiping, April 2S.-(UP)-China will project the bitter dispute be- tween Russia, Manchoukuo and Japan over the Chinese Eastern railroad into economic converse tions at Washington in an attempt tional issue," a spokesman for the Chinese government predicted to- day.
 Manchoukuo, the state establish ed by Japan in what formerly was the Chinese territory of Manchuria, is plotting to seize the railroad and this Constitutes pure international highway robbery" the spokesman said.
 Chinese officials were increasing ly convinced that Japanese divi- sions withdrawing from China proper were enroute to the Man choukuo-Soviet frontier, where armed conflict climaxing a long dispute over operation of the rail- road, which cuts through the heart of Manchuria, was feared.
 The spokesman insisted that the railroad belonged to the Chinese government and intimated that T. V. Soong, who is to represent China in economic conversations with President Roosevelt, will bring up the question there. In event of Manchouhuoan seizure of the line, China will "most certainly" issue a public declaration of ownership, he said.
 legation awaited reports on the railroad dispute from George Han son, United States consul general in Harbin. Hanson was studying conditions along the western sec tion of the road but had been un- able to reach Manchuli, where the line crosses from Manchoujuo into Soviet territory, because the Soviet Manchoukuoan boundary is under dispute. He was moving carefully to avoid entering Soviet territory.
 Geneva. April 28.-(UP)-China called today upon the signatories of the Boxer protocol for united warning to Japan against further advance of Nipponese troops into
 signatories of the Boxer pro- tocol include almost all of the major world powers, including the United States. It was the treaty which settled the Boxer rebellion.
 The Chinese said it was up to these signatories to prevent Japan csc capture of Tientsin and Pei ping, major cities of Northern China. The official announcement denied reports that China and Japan had reached secret peace.
 "The Chinese government is de- termined, as ever, to continue to resist Japanese aggression" 1t said. ''It will not enter into direct negotiations with Japan for truce or an armistice or any kind of set- clement of the conflict"
 The Japanese withdrawal from China proper continued today and Chinese troops were occupying ter ritory as fast as it was relinquished by the Mikado's soldiers.

Miss Young has just passed her goth birthday, and has behind her over five years as 8 star, while Raymond is close behind, he being just over 21.
 Here is a theme that is new to theatergoers, and with romance and a love story that is sweet and innocent, not like most of the so- phisticated stories that are being constantly being shown. This will mark a newt cycle in pictures, on account of its sweetness and ten- derness.
 Do not confuse this with an ani- nal picture, the animals are only the background for what we be- lieve will be your supreme thrill of the year in regards to talking pictures.
 Here is an especial program se- 1ected for the family, the support of the feature is made up of the greatest stars, all your favorites and those who have given you the greatest joy in the past. First and foremost there will be Laurel and Hardy in Twice Two" and as mathematicians they are great comedians, Mickey Mouse with his group of performers, will be seen in another film, then Tom Howard, the smart-dumb comedian with Vincent Lopez. and his band, a sport reel and the latest issue of the Movietone, which will birng to the screen of the Palace the hap penings of the past week will round out a program that there is
