LATE EVANGELIST
 WELL KNOWN HERE
Andrew Jones, COlOred Prophet, Visited Here
 Many Times

Tomorrow morning. in Brooklyn, N. Y., the world will pay its last respects to an evangelist and self styled prophet who had attacked it's evils for most of the 7s years of his life-the colorful Prophet Andrew Jones, who died suddenly Saturday in Brooklyn.
 Tn no section of the country was Prophet Jones more popular or more publicized than in Waterbury and he took special delight in com ing to the Brass City, though in- variably he predicted misfortune and calamity for the city and Its people. His greatest fame came in 1881 when he was preaching at the Grace Baptist church, just a short time before the abandoned Third Congregational church on Con- gress avenue collapsing and in1ur- ing several children playing there. That was his greatest triumph as far as Waterbury was concerned. though doubters failed to admit that he had prophesied such an event.
 The prophet spent much of his time bitterly attacking modern civilization. Particularly under his ban came dancing, drinking and card playing. all of which he ascrib- ed to the devil. His last visit here was this spring, when he assisted in the dedication of the Grace Bap- tist church.
 Prophet Jones, according to his friends, began his evangelical ca reer by predicting the Johnstown flood when he was a youth in Penn sylvania. After that, he claimed, he prophesied the World war, the San Francisco earthquake and other calamities,

of Decency were distributed in all of the churches in this locality yesterday. It is expected that the movement will meet with consider erable approval in this section. There are motion pictures shown at St. Joseph's auditorium several times weekly and it is understood that the Legion casts no reflections on these pictures. All films that have ever been shown in this hall are under catholic church super vision and are thoroughly consid- cred before they are accepted for presentation. There is an occasion al showing of Lithuanian films which are attended by the older people who migrated to this country and cannot as yet under stand the English language.
 The Legion of Decency is a movement that is not restricted to any particular church, creed, city, township or section. It has been in- stigated by the directors of every religion in a determined effort to wipe out the smut that has been holding a featured part of public entertainment, both in the films and on the stage.
 All residents are asked to CO., operate to their fullest extent in signing the pledges and stunning the, so called sex pictures and other forms of such entertainment. There is no necessity of pledging your self to the cause unless you are really in earnest. This widespread movement is meeting with approv- al throughout the world.

What 7he PWA Is Doing In
 RooseueLt's Recouery Plan

(I'his is the first in a series of ten articles on "What the PWA Is DOing.")
 The largest construction pro- gram in the history of the world, . major factor in President Roose- velt's recovery plans, was launched a little more than a year ago.
 By stroke of his pen the presi- the statute books and National Recovery Act, creating the Federal Emergency Administration of Pub lie Works with a fund of $3,30O,- 100000 to provide jobs for the un- employed on socially desirable and, economically beneficial projects in every section of the country.
 To head this huge spending and gigantic building program the president on July 8, 1883 appoint ed Secretary of the Interior Har- old l.. 1ckes as public works ad- ministrator.
 With PWA now in it's second year its program Is advancing rap idly toward peak construction and employment. The entire $3,30O,- 100000 was long since allotted. More than three-fourths of ap- proximately 16,00Q projects in 3,O43 counties in the United States are under construction or under contract. More than q billion and a quarter of PWA funds have flowed from the treasury provid- ing jobs and creating new pur- chasing power.
 Based on best estimates close to 100000 persons are employed directly and indirectly in various activities financed by PWA. These include workers on the site and hundreds of thousands engaged in the production of materials, fab rication, transportation and other employment.
 The original $3,3OO, 1000, 900 has gone into almost every conceiva ble kind of construction, but in every instance into projects which met the rigid PWA requirements as | to social benefit, engineering feasi- bility and legal and financial soundness. The last Congress gave PWA an additional $500, 0,000, 900 which also is being put to work with the greatest possible speed. At the outset vast sums were al- lotted for federal projects, putting men to work without delay. Every state received its equitable share of $4OO,OO0,000 for highways, $2Ss, 100000 was transferred to the navy for the construction of naval vessels and large sums were given the war department for army housing, coast defenses, mo- torization and airplanes. Other vast amounts were spent on flood control, river and harbor work. hydro electric power development, irrigation, reclamation, forestation, soil erosion control. peet eradica. tion--in short virtually every ac-
 tivity of the federal government. l The president appointed state advisory boards and the adminis-
 trator appointed state engineers to

STRAND

George Burns and Oracle Allen, two nit wits of the net works, and radios most popular comedians, are to be seen with Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians at War ners' Strand theater to-day, Tues day and Wednesday in Many Hap py Returns
 What a lot of trouble our Oracle finds her way in and out of this time! When the picture opens she's busy tearing a department store down to make sort of an annex to the zoo. She explains to her father that she thinks that it would be a cute idea to build a bird sanctuary to replace the store.
 The scene shifts to Hollywood where Oracle goes with her new husband, George Burns, who is be- ing paid ten dollars for every mile When her sister, Joan Marsh, who is attempting to get into movies, is kidnapped, Oracle pinch hits for her. The result is havoc and con- sternation on the movie lots.
 Although Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians make their debut in this picture, you'll won- der why no one ever thought of putting them in films before, Three new hit tunes and their dreamy tempo moke gorgeous lis tening. while their repertoire of or chestra tricks and their style of playing are more than welcome to the eyes.
 The companion feature is Upper World" a melodrama packed with thrills starring Warren William Ginger Rogers and Mary Astor.

Business Improving
MilhOllan Believes

Business conditions in the east
have improved tremendously in the
last few months, according to Frank
Milhollan, former chairman Of the
North Dakota railroad commission,
who is visiting in Bismarck. Milhol-
len, who is president Of the Central
West Public Service company with
headquarters in Omaha. Neb., says
business conditions in Iowa and Me-
braska are improving rapidly, due In
great part. he thinks, to the govern
ment loans on corn and hogs.
Christmas business in Omaha was
the best since 1890" Milhollan said,
ard great numbers Of old bills made
their appearance indicating that the
amount Of money being boarded was
loosening up. "Over $4,000 In old bills
made their appearance in our office
one day last week, and on several
ether days the amount has been al
most as large"
LAS . matter Of fact Iowa and Ne
Draska have not been hit as hard as
ore might suppose, from the amount
OF noise made by some farmers In
those states" he said. Conditions In
South Dakota are deplorable. due to
drouth and grasshoppers. but in Iowa
and Nebraska the farmers had good
corn crops and the government loan
