GARDEN

Robert Armstrong, whose latest screen appearance is in Flirting With Danger, the entertaining comedy romance which opened yesterday at the Garden theater, declares further, "the reason for the change was evident. The col lar-ad hero was usually youth with handsome features, but he lacked the necessary training of 6 stage career that would mean con tinued success on the screen"
 To prove his point, Armstrong mentions the names of Edward G. Robinson, Clark Gable, James Gag ney. George Bancroft, Lee Tracy and many others. all of whom
 have had the Fundamental training of the stage to make them adapt able to any type of role. All these famous screen personalities can look back upon years of appren- ticeship in their 1ife's' work and il was only natural that they should replace the collar-ad leading man The companion feature is "De- mon for Trouble", starring Bot Steele.

 WORRIES SCHOOLS
Expenditures Cut on Sup- plies "DOubIy Serious"
 Says Educators

Hartford, Jan 14-Curtailment in the per pupil expenditure for textbooks and supplies in Connecti- cut during the past three years "has been doubly serious" accord- Ting to a report of the state board of education, made public Sunday. The report, commenting on the trend, observes that '1n addition to being taught by teachers receiving reduced salaries, in larger classes, boys and girl have had to do their work with inadequate instructioHa1 supplies and materials"
 With the sole exception of Bridgeport, Hartford expended the smallest amount per pupil on text books in the school year of 1933- 34, the report disc1oses. In that year Bridgeport spent cents per pupil in its elemtnary schools and Hartford, in the last year of the district system, spent 9 cents per pupil for books. On the basis of six-yearS average, Bridgeport spent 7S cents year as compared with $1.32 per pupil in Hartford. Hartford expended $2.44 for books for each pupil in high school in 19S3-34, as compared with $1.09 expended in Bridgeport, and in New Haven 49 cents per pupil.
 The following statistics were presented by the state board: Ex- penditures per pupil for textbooks for elementary schools in 1933-34 decreased 30 per cent from the i. school year of 1931.32; in junior high schools expenditures increased per cent; in high schools other than junior high schools, expendi- lures decreased 43 per cent. Ex- penditures for stationery and sup plies dropped 16.5 per cent in ele- mentary schools, per cent in jun- for high schools and 19 per cent in high schools. These decreases com- ! pared with an average decrease of 18.S per cent in the per pupil cost of current school expenses.

 Be Strongest Veterans Organization in History

Bel grano, Jr., for a record-breaking membership this year, the Ameri- can Legion rapidly Is piling up what promises to be the greates. enrolment in it's history, which means, of course, the strongest or- ganization of veterans in all his- tory.

 show that well in excess of 100000 have paid their dues to the several
 departments, but the routine of get ting the cards to Indianapolis has
 not been completed.
 In 1884, the department of
 Mississippi had total membership of 7,488. On January of this
 year its membership was 7,489, or one more in the first three days of
 the new year than for the whole previous year. North Dakota had a
 total membership of 6,924 for 1884. whereas 1t went over the top with 7,649 on January 8, or 703 better than the whole previous year. The membership of the Philippine Isl- ands in 1894 was 100. On Jan uary it was 282. And all of these departments are continuing to en- list members daily.
