TLLEN WILSON McADOO DE
- ONATE, born here 19 years
ago when her father was Sec
- retary of the Treasury and
her grandfather President of
the United States, returned to Wash
ington to face welcoming barrage
of photographers flashlights and in
reviewers questions this morning.
Seldom seen here since her family
left Washington temporarily at the
end of the Wilson administration,
Mrs. de Onate found herself local
celebrity today because she had mar
ried amidst some difficulties a movie
actor named Rafael Lopez de Onate.
He is twice her age, was challenged
by marriage license authorities on
the West Coast to prove his nation
ality, and was understood not to be
the first choice of sonS-in-law on
Senator William G.. McAdoo's list.
All the parental and racial storm
had subsidized before they left Cali

publicity has arisen to buffet them

for Washington and got on the train.
The local advance guard was duly
warned and appeared bright and
early today when the train steamed
into Union Station.
Met by Brother -in-Law.
Brice Claggett, Washington lawyer,
and another son-in-law of Senator
McAdoo, was also there to greet them.

"All the way she replied wearily.

Next she craftily told inquirers that
she and her husband would not stay

But what he did not tell the doctors
was that he and his family are on re-
lief rolls and he had not eaten very
regularly recently. After q physician
had taken less than pint Of blood
from him the father almost tainted

story.
An appeal was sent out Immediately

 Of interest in Juneau will be the personal appearance tomorrow at the Uptown Riddle Klub matinee and at the Saturday evening per- formance of Byron Miller, trumpet soloist of the R. O. T. c. Band at Oregon State College.
 A special endorsement of Miller, which will be accompanied by his sister, Miss Marjory A. Miller, music supervisor of the Ketchikan Public Schools, was contained in wire received by Mrs. Lola Mae today from Dr. R. E. El- lis, of Ketchikan. Dr. Ellis said: Had pleasure to attend recital by Byron Miller and am happy to re- late that I consider it an excellent musical. Miller anticipates giving concert in Juneau. No one there would be disappointed should they hear it."

DRAMA IS CAPITOL
 FILM TONIGHT
Joan Blondell and James Cagney Co-star in He
 Was Her Man

James Cagney's familiar "sock on the lady's jaw is missing, and Joan Blondell, as a sorry street Camille, is never given a chance to dazzle by her usual display of feminine pulchritude, set-off by gorgeous gowns, but both of these sterling actors score distinct tri- umph in the very unusual drama '.He Was Her Man." which opens it's regular run at the Capitol The ater tonight.
 Cagney rises to really great heights-and shows himself wor- thy of the acclaim he has received by his acting of this role, which somehow he manages to make sym pathetic.
 Miss Blondell continues to be the same ''wise-cracking' girl made fla nous in Convention City," "Ha- vana Widows" "Smarty" and oth- CT recent productions, but this time she avoids comedy, and shows her versatility by making the street girl truly convincing.
 Victor Jory, well known on stage and screen, has the role of the Portuguese fisherman lover, and gives an excellent portrayal as does Sarah Padden in the role of the fisherman's mother.
 Others in the cast who do eXcep- tional work include Frank Craven, Harold Huber, Russell Hopton, John Qualen, Bradley Page, Sam uel E. Hines, George Chandler and James Eagles.
 The picture is set in the colorful background of an ancient fishing village on the Pacific Coast near Monterey, where the Barner Bros. company spent several weeks talk ing atmospheric exteriors.
 Lloyd Bacon directed the picture, which has won much acclaim for it's tense drama, the uniqueness of it's theme and it's fast action enter tainment.

372 Miles Were Improved in I033--NII2A Featured
 Year Informal Report of Macdonald Released

Rockville and Putnam, was paved with $50 miles of bituminous ma cadani.
 About 5.sS miles of reinforced concrete pavement was built on the Hartford = Willimantic turnpike (Route No. 87) in Bolton, Coventry and Andover, several cutoffs re- ducing the mileage considerably.
 On the Waterbury Bristol road (Route No. 119) about two miles of bituminous macadam was built over South Mountain, thus short ening the present route.
 The East Berlin road in Middle town was paved with 3.70 miles of reinforced concrete and the route shortened by three-quarters of a mile. r
 The Branford cutoff which shunts Boston Post road traffic north of Branford center was com pleted. This required the building of two miles of reinforced concrete pavement through new territory. Three swamps had to be excavated and backfilled with gravel to pre- vent, possible settlement, of the road.
 : On the Deep River road in Kill lingworth (Route No. 3O), 3.S1 miles of bituminous macadam was laid. This road likewise was built through new. territory and required the clearing of an enormous amount of woodland, heavy cuts and fills and the excavating and backfilling of a swamp.
 Two miles of bituminous macad- am pavement was constructed on the Naug g a uck-Prospect road (Route No. 68).
 Reinforced. concrete pavement, two miles long, was built on the Canaan road (Route No. 29).
 The Bethany-Prospect road (Route No. 69) was improved with 5.44 miles of bituminous macadam pavement, laid over a right of way which shortens by five miles the route between New Haven and Waterbury.
 Another big job was that Of building six miles of reinforced concrete pavement on the Sey- mour-Southbury road (Route No. SD over a route which was about 50 per cent through new territory. Eight small bridges were built in conenction with this project.
 In Stamford, the Long Ridge road (Route No. 137) was paved with $50 miles of reinforced con- crete.
 More than eight. miles of rein forced concrete will be construct ed on Route No. 25 through Wash ington- Morris and Litchfield.
 Of the work now in progress in addition to the MIRA and PWA jobs; the following projects are among the more important:
 The Pennington cutoff, running between Corbin's. Corner on Route No. Il in West Hartford and the College Highway near the junction of the Pennington Bristol road, will involve the building of nearly six miles of reinforced concrete pavement and the construction of a grade separating bridge.
 At Sandy Hook a 300-foot bridge to replace the present span over the Housatonic will be erected.

Text: Matt. 4:12 25 The International Uniform Sun-' day School Lesson for January Fl.

day School Lesson for January 21. By VIM F.. GLROY, ID. ID. Editor of The COngrcgatiOnalist The ministry of Jesus began, as all great ministries have begun, with preaching and, the winning of disciples. Possibly it was not preaching ln our modern and conventional use of the term, but it would be well if all our modern preaching could be like the simple, sincere, ana earnest proclamation of truth m which great prophets and teachers have been impelled to speak forth their message. Every man is preacher Wno voices the experiences Of truth In his own heart and life, and the most effective preaching always has been the simple witness to the ! things of the spirit. Even when such preaching has not been elo- quent in language, 1t mas peeh' nevertheless, real.
 We recall the reply of the man who was asked under whose preaching he had been converted. "Under nobody's preachings ne said, but under my mothers prac- tice."
 l The preaching of Jesus was elo- auent both in word and in eX-
 ample, The men who were drawn
 to him were drawn by his life ana
 personality. Even when they dlo
 not understand his words and com-
 prehend all his meaning, they real
 
 was in all that he had to say. They
 felt that they were in the presence
 of a great teacher and prophet,
 who had something that was vital and worth while. and it was this that made them willing to leave all and follow him. The preaching of Jesus began, again as all great preaching has begun, in an emphasis upon right eousness and the subjection Of men to the disciplines of truth. t was Q call to repentance that Jesus uttered, and repentance does not mean, necessarily, the turning from gross sins and evil ways; it is a return to the clear visions and the high standards present in the souls of men in their better expert ences, but that are lost so easily in the midst of the temptations and intricacies of life.
 Whether man has wandered far away from the path of moral rec titude, or has allowed his soul to become dull and undisciplined and , a prey to less worthy motives and ends, the call to repentance is one that good men always have needed. The vision of better world. as was the vision of this Kingdom of | Heaven to the disciples, of Jesus, | takes it's rise rst of all in the in- dividual heart.
 That is. apparently, what Jesus meant when he said "the Kingdom 1 of God is within you.'
 The ministry of Jesus had it's be- ginning, again like all great min istries, in the character of the men whom he won. is the quality of the true prophet and teacher to inspire condence in other men. to
