Suicide to-day seemed certain to be the official verdict on the death of John Endrikis, also known as John Hendricks, of III Draher avenue, whose body was found near Long Meadow pond in Mid dlebury early last ngiht, a bullet thruogh the heart.
 No motive for self-inflicted death has yet been uncovered by investigating authorities. The med Camp Palmer in this respect.
 Sunday night the Naugatuck scouts trimmed Camp Irving Scouts in crew races and also in canoe races. The only sports line the local scouts fell down in was in volley ball where they met sev- eral defeats.
 An enjoyable circus in which all the Camp Pershing scouts took part was held Sunday. Tuesday night at the court of honor 20 scouts received merit badges. There were about 100 guests at this af- fair. Scout Executive Lyman Buu- nell is still cleaning up around the camp now that it has closed. He is being aided by Clifford Hotchkiss who served as his assistant this summer.
 Tennis Party Enjoyed
 An enjoyable card party and dance was held last night at the new pavilion on Hedwig's lawn on Golden Hill street. Union City. It was given for tennis players in the club by members of the par ish.

Cards were played from seven in the evening untir nine and dancing took place from nine to 12 o'clock. Mary Ko- sowicz and Stella Pocoski com prised the committee in charge.

RONALD COLMAN
 BACK AT POLES
"BuIIdog Drum m o n d Strikes Back" Depicts
 Stars Latest Exploits

Ronald Colman returns from a vacation of near 6 year to bring back an old friend to the screen of the Poll theater for four days starting tomorrow and continuing through until Tuesday night.
 Ever since Colman made the first Bulldog Drurtmond" talkie, the film going public have kept g. fond spot in their heart for the character this actor made famous, and Drummond also holds spot in the hoart of Colman as 1t was in this picture that he made his first great hit.
 The title of this picture is "Bull- dog Drummond Strikes Back" and depicts the further adventures of that lovable adventurer. The ex- citement starts when Drummond attempts to unravel 8 very baffling mystery for a beautiful young girl whose uncle disappears strangely ih the London house of a sinister Oriental prince.
 Loretta Young portrays the girl, Warner OlAnd plays the prince, Drummond's, not too bright, but VcTY Iuhhy 9oSA6Sdhbp Nho Ohes Merkle is seen as the bride that Butterworth deserts on their wed- ding night to dabble in mystery, and c. Aubrey Smith appears as the chief of Scotland Yard detec- tives.
 Here is truly great picture with an all-star cast, full of real enter tainment and guaranteed to please all.
 Mickey Mouse, the favorite of all will be another feature that rivals the feature attraction. This favorite rodent star will be seen in "Mickey's Steamroller" and this allows lot of mechanics to get into the action in this way the best of these cartoons result. The Polt theater has the first run franchise for these popular cartoons in Wa terbury. When you see them at any other theater you are seeing second run.
 In addition to the above thero will also be the usual selected shorts that have become part or the popular programs of Poli's, and which are looked for weekly. who would like to be true to his wife but cannot resist temptation, not only conyin cinr hut thorough~

caucus next Tuesday night and for the fall election" according to Ward Committeeman John Kier- nan will be held tonight at z o'clock in the Town Hall, Mir Kier- man announced to-day. MT Kier- nan denied report that a slate of delegates to the town convention from the second ward would be selected tonight. He said the pur- pose of the meeting was to iron out any difficulties and secure harmony in the ward.
 A democratic town committee meeting will be held tonight at which further efforts to secure har- mony will be made. Members of the third ward may also hold a preliminary caucus tonight but this morning it had not been de- fnitely announced.
 Observers think the democrats may be striving for peace but ex- pecting disputes. The choice of the Gem Opera House as the site of the first ward caucus instead of the cramped quarters of the bor- ough courtroom is significant. At the spring caucuses the courtroom was packed when a contest arose and the hall of the first floor was crowded. The Gem Opera House will be able to accommodate many spectators however.

 Scouts Excel in Sports
 Naugatuck Boy Scouts turned in some notable sports victories while at Camp Pershing this year it was learned to-day. The Scouts of the lower Naugatuck Valley are locat- ed at Camps Palmer and Irving and there is keen rivalry among the respective camps.
 The baseball team of Camp Per- shing won two games from Camp Irving and both games from Camp Palmer's team. The local scouts showed a superiority in scouting knowledge and ability over the other scouts winning a scout meet last Tuesday with Camp Irving 37-16. They had previously trim

would have the effect of spreading the
overhead operating costs of the mills and
would result in other advantages which
would enable them to decrease manufac-

OF course, the chief objection which
would be raised to this plan is the claim
that the textile industry has not been able
to work as much as forty hours week
but that condition is due to. under-con-
