 Pictorially the picture is per- pect. Costumes and sets have been copied exactly from the drawings in the first edition of Alice. All of the actors-and the cast in- cludes more than forty big names" --are made up with equal attention to detail.
 Miss Henry makes Q charming, and very real "Alice." Paramount had more than 1000 applicants for the role, and couldn't have found better choice if ten times the number had applied. She Is natur- al, she looks the part, and has con- siderable acting ability.

Building Permits In Connecticut Decline
Slump Maintains Hold for Third Month According to : New Haven Road December Survey

For the third consecutive month Building permits issued by cities and towns in Connecticut contin- ued Co decline in total valuation in December, according to the month- " building survey taken by the Freight traffic department of the New Haven railroad among twen- xy-four communities along its lines. The steady drop in permits began m October, having been averted in September only by one excep- tionally large grant in New Haven.
 The total value of the permits Issued by the twenty-four cities and towns in December fell to an asnusually low total, dropping al- most S200,00 below the building Ngure recorded for the same group pf communities in December, 1892, which figure was itself extremely subnormal.
 Despite the general slump which prevailed throughout the state in December, eight of the twenty-four localities included in the railroad survey enjoyed gains in permit totals as com pared with November. These were Bristol, East Hartford, Greenwich, Meriden, New Britain, Norwalk, Norwich and Wethers- field.
 The December permit list was headed by Greenwich with a valu- ation of S79,200, while Meriden and Hartford were in second and third places, respectively.
 : Strangely, in the face of the fact that the December permits were Considerably les in total value than those of December, 1892, twelve or bne-half of the twenty-four cities and towns reported increases over their individual totals for the cor responding month last year.

RETAILERS WARNED
 OF MISLEADING ADS
Washington Informs Local Authority to Eliminate
 Unfair Practices

The local retail authority of the | Waterbury division received an official communication yesterday afternoon from Washington, D. C., containing specific instructions on misleading display notices. A strict observance of the provisions would eliminate unfair business practices and would mean the placing of a ban on such terms as "going out of business" bankrupt" Ire ceivers' and similar terms.
 The section of the code dealing with fraudulent advertising is as follows: "No retailer shall use ad- vertising, whether printed, radio or display, or of any other na- ture, which is inaccurate in any material particular or misrepre- sents merchandise, including it's use, trademark, grade, quality, quantity, size, origin, material, content, preparation or cura- tive or therapeutic effect, or credit terms, values, policies or services ;and no retailer shall use advertising or selling methods which tend to deceive or mislead the customer"
 The official interpretation as given by the national authority follows: Paragraph (a) of section = under Article TX, of the code of fair competition for the retail trade, shall be interpreted to ap- ply to closing out sales, going out of business sales, bankrupt and re- ceivers' sales, or any sale of a | like nature, either by auction or otherwise, and it shall be consid- cred as false, inaccurate and mis- leading advertising and violation of the code. if any merchandise whatever, except such as may be in transit, on order, or under firm contract, be added to the stock of merchandise, which is on hand at the beginning of such sale."
