the little blind bow boy doesn't get
half the break that he does on the

All of which, the handsome young

Happiness" is a good thing from a

don't know what they're missing
On the whole, Europeans have
mora leisure than Americans and
consequently devote more time to
romance and courtship. AS a re-
suit, he declares, the opportunities
for love are far more numerous
there than in this country.
In Czecho-Slovakia, he says.
the average woman does nothing
to contribute to her financial sup
port. A girl chooses no profession
but prepares herself for marriage
as a career. She spends her time
acquiring the social graceS, helping
her mother with the household, and
enjoying herself. Men, too, have
more time than here. It's a COM
mon thing for people to spend all
day and half the night sitting in
cafes-day after day and night
after night.
But here jobs are still more
numerous and life is not SO empty.
The women as well as the men have
many interests. They're part of
both the social and business worlds
and they're eternally busy. It's a
healthy condition. L think Europe
would be better off if it prevailed
there too And yet -.

Looking to the south from the Cenotaph, the
visitor to the memorial sees the Mall, a large
expanse OF blue grass with terraces on either
side and on both sides of 1t are walks and grass
plots lined with avenue trees and shrubbery.
Continuing southwark to the next block, the
visitor arrives at Obelisk square, an entire
block paved with macadam and bordered with
grass plots and trees. Al the four corners are
pairs of large-caliber captured German field
guns. In the exact center of this square is the
Obeisk rising to the height Of 100 feet. Near
the base on each side are the bronzes of the
sculptor, Henry Herring, representing the four
fundamentals on which the hopes of a nation
are founded-Law, Science, Religion and Educa-
ton.
In 1926 the construction of the Indiana World
War Memorial Shrine or main building was
started. The foundation for this mammoth struc-
ture begins about 20 feet below the street level
and consists of reinforced concrete and steel
Orders to carry the enormous load of the walls
of the large tower which rises to a height of
210 feet above the street level. The base Is ap-
proximately $50 feet wide and 400 feet long,
consisting of a basement and a ground level
floor which are still In the hands OF the finish
Ing contractor.
The halls and corridors Of the basement and
first floor will provide the space for a World
war museum. In the center on the first floor
will be an auditorium seating about 600 persons,
There will be two other rooms on this floor with
a capacity of $50 persons each for meetings of
patriotic organizations. About 40 feet above the
street level Is the podium or porch which en-
tirely surrounds the tower of the building. AT
this level will be found the cornerstone which
was laid by Gen. John J. Pershing on July 4,
1927.
Between the five large windows In the tower
on each of the four sides are six magnificent
stone columns, above which stand the six heroic
figures sculptured in stone, representing Cour-
age, Memory, Peace, Victory, Liberty and Patri-
otism.
On the north facade above the four bronze
entrance doors to the ground level floor Ia the
inscription taken from the law creating the rndi-
ana World War Memorial which reads: Erected
to commemorate the valor and sacrifice Of men,
bers OF the land, sea and air forces Of the
United States and all others who rendered faith
full and loyal service at home and overseas In the
World War. To i~nculcate a true understanding
and appreciation Of the privileges of American
citizenship. To inspire Patriotism and respect for
the law to the end that Peace and good will
may prevail, Justice be administered, Public

Spring Makes Debut
AtEarly Hour To-day
VernaI Equinox Occurs at 2:2S a. m. - Planting
Season Evident in Store Supplies

Spring arrived quietly in Water
bury at 2:2S o'clock this morning.
While the city slept the vernal
equinox occurred and when arising
time was clicked off on the clock
Waterbury was greeted by bright
lcheery and warm weather. With
little or no snow showing as the
result of last months blizzard, the
aspect on all sides was decidedly
springlike. .
At 1890 o'clock this morning
the mercury in the Democrats
recording thermometer showed a
READING of AZ degrees above zero.
] At noon hour the mercury lowered
| in the vicinity of SO degrees above.
The warm sun was expected to
boost the temperature considerably
early this afternoon with the usual
drop in the evening.
Abundant signs of spring were
apparent today and were reported
from all sides. The annual "blue
bird story was heard. But one
of the outstanding features of the
arrival of spring was the display
| of "chicks" by poultry dealers
their advertisements and the ad-
vices being given prospective grow
ers.
| Seed packages appeared on all
counters in local stores today. also
This means spring, it was stated

Tomorrow afternoon and even
ing the Catholic Actors guild will
present the passion play, 1.-THE
Dark Hours" by Don Marquis at
the Strand theater. This is drama
of poignant and striking reality on
the betrayal and crucifixion of
Jesus. 1t is considered the fore
most passion play written in the
English, language.
"The Dark Hours" is using the
direction of Alan Wallace OF the
Civic theater. An adequately art
istic production of this great trag-
edy is assured by the unique char
acter of the play, the expert coach
ing of Mr. Wallace and the enthusi-
asm of the cast which consists OF
over 40 members.
Probably the outstanding char
acterization of the play is Judas,
played by Carmine Cipriano, Gaia
phas, the high priest, played by
John Whelan is central figure,
and PLATE, played by John Gill
martin is also major part. Alice
MCGEE, as Mary Magdalene, Mary
Robinson, as Procla, and Josephine
Sullivan as Mary the mother OF
Jesus are the leading feminine
members of the cast.
The first scene of "The Dark
Hours" is in the house of Caiaphas
on the evening before the cruel
fxion of Jesus. The second scene
takes place two hours later in the
garden of Gethsemane, the third
is in the house of Caiaphas about
midnight of the same night, the
fourth scene is at the palace of
PLATE early in the morning and the
fifth scene at Golgotha.
Great care has been taken with
costuming, presentation of scenery
and lighting effects. The degree OF
realism attained may be gagged
from the pictures taken during
dress rehearsal which are repro
duced in this paper. 1t Is safe TO
say that 1.-THE Dark Hours" is
ready for the curtain because even
at the dress rehearsal, the zero
hour of any production, it was de-
cidedly impressive.
