 A committee is preparing for a splendid celebration of American education week. A supper meeting will be held on Wednesday, Mo- vember 2.
 A class in vocabulary building conducted by John c. Gilmartin, will begin Wednesday, September 26, at 4 p. m. in room 219, Croft school. The course this year will differ from that in the past for, in addition to the subject material hitherto taught, the vocabulary found in Washington Irving's "Sketchbook" will receive special attention. The new edition of the Webster International dictionary, which was published in June, 1884, and which has revolutionized the pronunciation of hundreds of words will make the course doubly interesting and important this year.
 Several teachers in the city have inquired about a course in French conversation. Those who are interested may see Pierre F.. Pronovost, Monday, october l, at 4 D. m. in room 110, Wilby high, where the outline of the course will be given.
 Several other courses will be announced within few days. Any teacher interested in some particu- lar course should communicate with some member of the commit tee, namely, Anna Skehan. Duggan school. Marguerite Power, Bunker Hill school, Daisy Lord, Wilby high school.

M The Local Theaters
STATE

Crowded house at every perform- ance greeted Mae Vests new pie ture 'sBelle of the Nineties" which opened a weeks engagement at Warmers State theater on Satur- day.
 Tn the principal male roles are Roger Pryor, New York stage star, who recently made his Hollywood debut; John Mack Brown and John Milan, who acts the tall, dark" menace. Katherine DeMille, stuart Holmes, Warren Hymer and Harry Woods appear in the supporting cast, and Duke Ellington, rhythm king, furnishes a tantalizing musi- cal background for Miss Vests voc cal renditions.
 The story opens in St Louis where Mis- West. as the reigning queen of burlesque, suffers reverses in her love for Roger Pryor. her fistic hero, and departs for New Orleans to take the south by storm and charm.
 In New Orleans she meets John Mack Brown, . gallant youth who loves her, and John Milan who loves her diamonds. Pryor comes to New Orleans for championship boue Soon the air is fllled with in- trigue and counter intrigue. Miss West forces Pryor to lose his bout, because she suspects him of steal- ing her diamonds. But before the fast-peced action draws to its close, the responsibility Is shifted to Mil- jan, the true malefactor and Miss West and Pryor are reconciled.
 The acting of the well-cast prin- cipals, especially Roger Pryor, does not lag one pace behind that of the blonde charmer, and the direction of Leo McCarey serves to blend the whole into uniformly delightful, thrilling and thoroughly satisfying entertainment.
 Mss Wset introduces several new torch songs, written especially for her with rhythmic backgrounds backgrounds furnished by Duke Ellington and his orchestra.
 An excellent surrounding pro- gram accompanies the feature presentation. Next Saturday brings Leslie Howard and Kay Francis in the new hit British Agent.

raignment, which was postponed to October l.
 Meanwhile 1t was pointed out that. according to his own story Hauptmann had handled about $35.10o since April. 1882, when il was charged that he received the ransom money. Since that date he has had only occasional employ. ment.
 This figure, which did not in clude more than $4,000 ransom money turned in at various times was derived from the f ollowing; $13,75O ransom money found ii Hauptmann's garage, $10,000 in a brokerage deposit; $7,500 sup. posedly given or loaned by Haupt. mann to his friend, Isidor Fisch; $3.5O0 invested In mortgage; Ss60 invested in 8 promissory note,
 It was understood that Colonel Henry Breckenridge, attorney for Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh would appear before the grand jury this afternoon. Lindbergh,. who probably will appear on We'd rlesday, was en route today from the west coast to New York by airplane, accompanied by Mrs Lindbergh.
 Captain J. J. Lamb of the New Jersey state police, also is expected to appear before the jury, which probably will hear all angles of the case.
 Foley announced the following witnesses would appear before the grand jury:
 Gregory F. Coleman, assistant city editor, Bronx Home News; John Perrone, taxicab driver who carried a note from Hauptmann to Dr John F. Condon; Walter Lyle and John Lyons, filling station at- tendants who received q SIC Lind- bergh ransom bill from the sus- pect; and Dr John F. Condon, "Jafsie" of the famous case.
 Patrick J. Dwyei, Bronx real es- tate operator, is foreman of tue jury which was impanelled before Supreme Court Justice Charles c. Mclaughlin.
 The justice emphasized the dig nifty of grand jurors oath and intirnated they were about to pass upon ''the most important criin- inal case that has ever come up in the Bronx"
 Evidence win be presented to the grand jury by Foley and his assistant, Arthur H. Carney.
 The only witness before the grand fury went to lunch was Coleman. who presumably told how the ''Jafsie" negotiations with the kidnaper were conducted insofar as they concerned inser- ton of personal advertisements in the columns of the Bronx Homo Newe.
 Symbols Are Link
 New York. Sept 24-(UP)--one of the vital links in q chain of evi- dence designed to convict Bruno K. Hauptmann of Kidnapping and mur- dering Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. is a series of intricate symbols on the ransom notes.
 These symbols. published today in 6 copyrighted story in the New York World-Telegram, were on every authentic ransom note. which officials charge were written by Haupfmann.
 only four copies of the symbols have been made. and these are closely guarded. Ransom notes which have been reproduced have had the symbols eliminated.

His pockets were rifled after he had been trussed up, gagged and blindfolded and the keys for the store tossed to other members of the gang, in another car.

 Morse was driven around for several hours and then held cap- tive on lonely country road. later discovered to have been in the out skirts of Terryville. Finally at about b:S0 or 5;45 yesterday morn- ing he was tossed out on road and the robbers car sped away. After wandering for an hour or more, Morse found a farmhouse and was given food and shelter, after which he called local police, who found that the store had been burglar ixed.
 The time lock on the door to the smoke shop showed that the place had been entered at 1:20 and left at 1;22, and that 1t had been entered again at 4:2s, approxl- mately the time that police shifts are changing. It was this latter time. 1t Is believed that the burg lars took the s97 and fled.
 Daring Break
 The break was one of the most daring here in months and had evl- dently been carefully planned. The burglars were apparently familiar with the premises. Two cash regis- ters, containing some $19 or SIS. we're untouched. while another sum of money. hidden away, was not found by the criminals.

Robert Jones has been saved from
death on the gallows, and will get
q new trial
You never heard Of Robert Jones?
He is just an obscure negro down
in Mississippi. He shot and killed q
police officer who tried to enter
Jones home while searching for the
source Of pistol shot.
Now certain Of our radical friends
will tell you that no southern negro
has ghost Of chance in q case
like that. He might escape lynching.
but certainly would stand no chance
to escape prompt execution.
But the supreme court Of Missis-
sippi felt otherwise. It found that
tho dead peace officer was beyond
his rights In trying to enter Jones
home without = proper warrant. It
reversed the lower courts and order
ed new trial for Robert Jones.
1.-THE appellant was in his home, !"
the court said, "and no person or
officer had . right to enter except
In strict accordance with the law.
No matter how humble-a mans
home Is his castle -
Justice Is not always the CHASTITY
travesty some Of our critics Ike to
make 1t. In many cases It deals even
~ and cleanly-even to the most
humble.

Barrel. Chested Bunk

Skinny youths who aspire to the
barrel-chested bulk Of q heavyweight
wrestler might just as well forget all
about 1t, says DR.. G. A. Harper, state
health officer Of Wisconsin. It looks
impressive on the bathing beach, but
it doesn't necessarily mean q thing.
The barrel-chested man may be
just as susceptible to tuberculosis or
other pulmonary diseases as the flat
chested one, says the iconclastic doc
tor.
Lung space and expansion is impor-
tant, but the man with long thin
chest may have just as much lung ca
pacity as the one who looks like a
pouter pigeon, and the thin-chested
fellow, II well-proportioned and we'll
nourihed, may be just as strong as
the big fellow.
SO there you are, and don't worry
II YOU don't bulge.

Tribune Washington Correspondent

Washington. June 20. = The brain
power Of the Brain Trust still goes
unmeaslred.
Secretary Wallace has been heard
to suggest that Dr.. Rex Tugwell
hasn't any more brains than some Of
the other fellows who run AAA-
though he credits the young man with
the warmest, most sympathetic heart
More light on that point might now
shine II the senator's who took Tug
well over the Jumps before the Agri-
culture committee. prior to his ap-
prevail as under-secretary OF agricul-
ture, had been competent to match
wits with the handsome, smooth pro-
lessor from Columbia.
Cotton Ed" Smith Of South Caro-
lima, Byrd Of Virginia, and Bailey Of
North Carolina led the assault. They
floundered about in a maze Of Tug
wellian quotations and the doctors
verbal answers on the spot, tried
vainly to put words in his mouth,
made heated stump speeches In sheer
desperation, and spent 50 much time
pickering and getting all mixed up
that Tugwell didn't have to be bril-
liant-not even once.
He needed to be only cool, patient,
polite, and helpful. He might as well
have left his brains at home.
The whole silly show was ter
ribly unfair because the bright
er committee members-Noeris OF
Nebraska, Bone Of Washington,
and Wheeler Of Montana-were
on Tugwell's side and had fun
