softness of the light, so necessary to
easy seeing. Too many table lamps
are so small that at best they are only
ornamental, and entirely inadequate
for the major task of properly lighting
two chairs. The lamp needed here, as
illustrated above, should have several
sockets since the spread of light is thus
greater and the actual amount of light
to the page is usually more. If there
are two sockets they should hold 90
or 75-watt bulbs.

styles and bearing a tag of approval
showing they have been built according
to the wise specifications of the Illumi-
mating Engineering Society, national

Scientists have designed its lamp
standard and shade of correct height
and spread. The shade is white-lined,
thus economically rejecting more light.

distributes soft and glareless light up

Polar Expedition in 1882 as botanist
and soologist under Admiral Garda,
and for some two years was icebound
in Greenland. He added greatly to
the botanical knowledge Of West
Greenland, and his extensive knowl-
edge Of altitude and circumpolar
fioras compelled attention Of all in

"On April IL, 1888, DR.. Holm landed

after coming to this country he was
appointed assistant botanist in the

occupied that position from 1888 to
1893, and was then appointed as

1897 he resigned this position, but, as

translating. For drawings that show

MOVIE PLAYERS
 OFF TO LONDON
Every Liner Brings Ameri- can Actors in Search
 of British Fame

London CUP).-After helplessly watching the best stage stars troop to Hollywood for two years in response to the American quest for English accents" Great Brit aims motion-picture industry has turned the tables.
 Nearly every liner arriving from the United States brings one or more motion picture stars, signed to appear in British films.
 British films today are com- peting on level terms with Ameri- can f1]mS," one Elstree producer said. British studios give more consideration to stars than any other film center in the world"
 Several of the American film emigres appear to have been per- manently absorbed by the British producers. They include Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., who told the United Press he has undertaken large plans for producing as well as acting in England.
 Others who are gradually break ing away from Hollywood-their trips back to the United States are becoming wider and wider apart are Give Brook, Leslie Howard, Tullio Carminati, Fay Wray, Laura LaPlante and June Clyde.
 Hollywood names" who are mak- ing pictures in the studios around London this winter are Cary Grant, Otto Kruger, Nils Asther, Robert Young, Peter Lorre, Buddy Rogers, Douglas Montgomehy, Arthur Tracy, Conrad Nagel, Mary Brian and Madge Evans.
 Recent British-made films in- c!ude such familiar American stars as Jean Muir. Lillian Harvey, Helen Vinson, Jean Parker, Anne Shirley, Wynne Gibson and Elissa Landi.
 Merle Operon and Charles Laughton are leaders of the group which is classified as neither fa- voring Hollywood nor London. They divide their time between the two film centers.

POLI'S

An absolute sensation and living up to all the promises made for it, is what "A Tale of Two Cities" with Ronald Colman featured and an all star cast in his support are now do- ing at Polls theater. The program also includes the very latest Silly Symphony, a Sport Reel, Traveltalk, News and other delightful subjects will continue until Tuesday night.
 The little darling of the screen in her latest and the greatest that she has ever made Shirley Temple in "The Littlest Rebel" will be the attraction at Polls starting with a special preview showing on New Years Eve, Tuesday night at 11:30 p. m. The doors will open and de- lightful surprises will be indulged in until the hour of midnite when a proper celebration will be staged that will make the 'welkin' ring. Those who have attended the New Years Eve shows at Polls in the past know that here is the place to properly enjoy themselves. Seats are now selling for this perform ance and all should avail themselves of the opportunity and get their tickets and not have to stand in line, as those with tickets will be admitted in the theater, without wait.
 Never before has Ia Temple been seen in a picture that allows her the opportunity that this one does and there is one scene where she has a speech with President Lin- coin, which all the critics and re- viewers, who have seen the pictures are unanimous in proclaiming as one of the master pieces of all screen performances.
 Others in the cast of this feature are John Boles, Karen Morley, Bill Robinson, Jack Holt and a great many other stars.
 On the same program there will be "A Feather In Her Hat" which features Pauline Lord, Basil Rath- bone and others of this caliber, making a double feature program that is well worth your considera- tion.

to young skaters who are daily en- toying this sport.
 Because of the small amount oi snow, there is little opportunity for sliding.
 There were no arrests or accidents reported at the local police station yesterday and as result no session of the borough court was held to- day. ....
 Speculate on P0stmastership
 Much speculation as to whose chances of getting the postmaster ship here are best prevailed in the borough today after announcement yesterday afternoon ot the official list. Those are Warden John J Sheridan, Frank T. Green, chairman of the democratic town committee Edward J. Ahern, publisher of The Naugatuck Daily News and former borough clerk, Charles F. Daly the present borough clerk, D. En- melt Shea, probate judge, Dr. Mau- rice J. Tynan, dentist, who at one time ran for warden on the demo- cratic ticket, Joseph P. Kiernan ct Fairview avenue and John F. Fitz- gerald, former democratic burgess.
 Although it might be assumed the race would lie mainly between the three active political figures; War; den Sheridan, Chairman Green and Judge Shea, because of their strong state and national political affllia- tions at present, many feel that this is not necessarily so.
 MT. Kiernan, MT. Ahern and MT. Fitzgerald are known to be infiuen- tial in political circles and if they can measure up to the stndard re- quired, each has 8 good chance for the nomination, many feel.
 It has been known since last winter that Warden Sheridan and MT. Green were candidates but many residents are surprised at the number who have now applied. It is not expected Postmaster Walter E. Brown whose term expires January g, will be reappointed. He is re- publican.

City also was suggested for the -i1- termountain area, with either Bis mark or Omaha for the great plains region. Cincinnati, Ohio valley; St. Paul, or Duluth or some other city in that section for the Great Lakes forest and cut-over region. The number of territories might be in- creased to 16 to IS.
 Proposed By Ickes
 The action was proposed by Sec retary of Interior Harold L. Ickes as chairman of the national re- sources committee, secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, Sec retary of Commerce Daniel c. Roper and Secretary of Labor Frances Per- kins, board members. Secretary of War George H. Dern was ill the Philippines when the report was be- ing considered. Relief Administra- tor Harry L. Hopkins, Frederic A. Delano, Charles E. Merriam and Wesley c. Mitchell were other signers. The committee pointed out that its members and other depart mental heads now have the coun- try broken into los different ar- engagements of districts for admin istration of their field work.
 Economy Advantages
 "But there are distinct advantages in economy of time and effort in di- recting those organizations more sharply toward some simpler frame work" the report said. With con- centration of their field headquart- CTS the establishment of 10 or 12 somewhat unified regional agencies of the United States government could be made to coincide with the state regional secretariats now de- veloping, and might serve as cen- ters for regional or subnational planning agencies" The commit tee, after a survey of planning &C., tivities in the whole country, said that enough is known now to begin on the nation wide selection of cen- ters, at least in a tentative way.
