Some Girl From Thirteen
 Eastern Cities to Be Awarded 3-M0nth Con- tract at Once to Appear in All-Star Production
 The Hollywood Party
 With Marie Dressler

Changing their original plan For awarding screen test winners production executives of the Metro-Goldwyn Mayer company today advised the Waterbury Democrat that three months motion picture contract and an (. opportunity of appearing in the all-star production, "The Holly wood Party" would be awarded to a girl selected from among en- trants in 13 eastern cities.
 Waterbury is included in the group of eastern cities from which the winning girl is to be selected, and this means that girl. entrants in the campaign currently being conducted by the Waterbury Demo- Scrat and the Po1i Palace theater here on behalf of the Metro- Gold .wyn- Mayer Company, will be given an opportunity of winning this great award.
 Previously the Metro c oldywn- Mayer Company planned to select only one girl from the entire United States, but they have since discovered that this medium of dis covering new screen personalities is uncovering considerable good talent, and so it was immediately
 decided to select girl from the eastern cities participating in the search for new stars.
 Select Girl From East
 The girl selected from the east will be immediately sent to the Metro o-Goldwyn-Mayer studios in California and will be assigned. to part in their elaborate all-star production, "The Hollywood Par ty," which already has in it's cast such great stars as Marie Dressler. Joan Crawford and Jean Harlow. If in this picture she demonstrates charm and personality and ability, in all probability she will be signed to q longer contract.

The Birth of
 Thomas Moore
Will Be Celebrated All
 Over the World

The anniversary of the birth of Thomas Moore, the popular Irish poet, will be observed this year in many cities all over the world. in- cluding Waterbury. Australia, Canada and many places in Europe have plans completed for the event on May 2S. Moore was born in Dublin and finished his education at Trinity college. After this most of his life was spent in England. He died in 1852 and was buried at Bromham Village. The place of his burial has been made the subject of comments in prose and poetry, many taking the ground that he should have been buried in Ireland.
 Things have changed somewhat in Dublin since Moore saw his col lege chum and friend, Robert En- met, executed in Thomas street, for making an effort to win for his country the guarantee which Washington had secured for Amer ica. Today they have at least a small share of independence in a portion of Ireland and are making commendable headway for all Emmet and many others who shared his fate contended for back through the centuries.

If your hair retreats sharply

Advice to the LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

saw one of these boys kissing
me, and now no one is allowed
to come to the house any more.
This is absolutely untrue, Miss
Fairfax, because I have never
been kissed in my life and how
can I keep my friends if I can
never have company even once
or twice a week?
My mother gives as another
excuse that my father has to be
up very early in the morning,
and that I keep him awake by
having the radio going and girls
and boys laughing and talking.
When I have friends, Dad goes
to bed at 8. When there's no one
there, he will sit up until at
least half past 10.
]. M. B.
Why don't you have it out
with the brother who told tales
on you, which you assure me
were not true, and tell him this
is very lacking in sportsmanship.
Certainly, he should be manly
enough to tell your mother the
truth about this. Why not try
to persuade your mother into let
ting you have the friends in one
evening a week? The one before
your fathers day off would be
preferable.

Words, thoughts, ideas-all
are related somehow to ones
thought processes.
There is no such thing as a
single, isolated thought, hidden
away in the maze Of nerve cells
that constitute the brain as
such, and having no connection
whatever with other thoughts
stored up in the mind. Hence,
if we hear a word, or think Of
one ourselves, we can follow
in our thinking with at least
one other word-possibly more
which is somehow related to
the word in question.
Indeed, scientists have worked
out what is called the "localiza-
ton Of function" in the brain.
They have discovered that all
our mental pictures which arise
through our ability to see are
located in the occipital lobe of
the brain, at the back Of the
skull; the speech center is on
the left side Of the brain;
ability to reason resides in the
frontal lobes, behind the fore
head; and so on.
What interests us particular
ly in the Relationship Test"
which follows is the power Of
an individual to think Of a
similar relationship, when only
one pair Of relationships is given
besides one other word, which
must control the missing rela-
tionship word the individual is
to supply himself.
For example, the relationship
Of one to two is the same as
that Of four to eight.
However, when I say that
the relationship Of dog to hair
Is the same as the relationship
existing between fish and scales,

cal increases Of one, or multi
plying by two, but I am think

tective coverings Of two men,

If one were to give a test in
which the type of relationships
is always the same, like a list

ing one is to two as five is to
six, but also twenty is to twenty
