WPA EFFICIENCY
 NOT CRITICIZED
Harris Believes Speed-up Necessary to End Fed-
 eral Dole December l

If it's going to be done. they've got to work faster than they are now" This statement was made to- day by William M. Harris, Water bury relief administrator, in answer to question as to the probability of ending the federal dole by De- cember 1.
 "Originally 1t was supposed to have been ended by November l,' MT. Harris pointed out. There's no question in my mind but that 1t can be done If things are specded up considerably,
 Over a national radio hookup last night President Roosevelt predicted that the direct relief dole would be ended some time during the coming month and that more than 2,00O. .O00 persons now on relief rolls would be transferred to work relief payrolls Tn Connecticut however the transi- ton of the EZRA to the WPA has been slow and within the past few days has been sharply criticized by MT. Harris.
 He said today that his criticism was not intended to reflect on the competency of the state WPA. but was directed chiefly at the slowness with which 1t moved.
 There's no reason why local projects should not be taken over at once," he said. "The sewer jobs have been approved; they should be in operation as WPA projects now
 The local relief administrator agrees with the presidents state. ment that employment on industrial payrolls has reached the highest point since le3O. That's the situa- ton in Waterbury" Mir. Harris said

HUGE WATERSHEDS
 ASSETS TOSTATE
One-FOurth of Whole Area Provides Drainage For
 Public Systems

High on the list of Connecticut,s many and valued natural assets are spacious watersheds spread widely over the state. which provide drain- age for the numerous public water supply reservoirs. Only about 145 square miles of Connecticuts area is water, either in lakes or rivers, but nearly one-fourth of the total area of 4,606 square miles is chased as watershed providing drainage for public water supplies, so that the stata's reservoirs are well fed. ..s.. :.
 The watersheds which furnish, the supply of water for the reser- voirs are both natural and artificial Much of the watershed area in the state is in the latter class. having been made available for drainage by the hand of man. Through the means of difficult construction work, the states water supply pulp lie utilities have often diverted the course of rivers and streams from their natural beds, SO that their drainage areas might be utilized in flooding the reservoirs. Tn building its new North Branford develop- ment at Lake daillard. for instance. the New Haven Water Company constructed Q large tunnel by which the drainage for, many additional miles of watershed was carried into the supply basin. [
 All watersheds are scrupulously guarded. both by the utilities and by state and local health author- ities. Habitations in the drainage area must be equipped for sewage and garbage disposal and have such means of sanitation that all chance of polluting the supply Is elim- mated. The watersheds are posted and patrolled to prevent chance pollution by picknickers, hunters. campers and others. and to prevent bathing both in the reservoirs and their tributary streams.

Makes Business
Of Being Lazy
Benny Baker Lays Blame to
Stooging Work.

Seven years of constant stooging
for the comedians is a type of pun
ishment that makes either a phi1os-
opher or a permanent moron of a
man-it made Benny Baker "the
LATEST fellow on earth"
Baker is rather proud of this dis
tinction and it evidently does him
no harm. 1t earned him, among
other things, a term contract with
Paramount and sweet and lazy as
Segment in college Scandal"
Others may boast of their indus
try, but not Benny. He gets up two
hours after his alarm clock sounds
off; is quite punctual about being
an hour late to appointments, and
in a race with a turtle he would
come in a good second.
Stooging made him that way, says
Baker. "A stooge," he explains, lis
a good-natured goof who plays sec
ond fiddle to a comedian, feeding
him silly answers to stupid questions
so that the comedian can make
bright remarks about the stooge's
general state of ignorance"
He did this for seven years serv-
ing such prominent comics as Lou
Holtz, Phil Baker, and Jack Benny
with thousands of apparently stupid
answers.

1t is a story about a man, Dick

condition that he shall not marry
Despite his uncles wishes, he has
fallen in love and married, being
careful to keep the news from his

The first act has just been COM

rives, stating that his uncle will ar
rive that afternoon.
He decides that the only thing to
do is to play bachelor. He man
ages to get his wife to consent to
go to town and his uncle arrives just
as she is leaving. This is the start
of the complications. A short time
later an old friend, who knows just
enough to want 10 know more, APP

deception in spite of him.
Dicks aunt, who is on unfriendly
terms with Meander, arrives from
town and before Dick can convince
her, his wife comes back, hours too
soon.
These complications, along with
the byplay of Mrs. Meander's maid
and Dicks butler, make an up
roarious comedy.

rather silly to modern audiences
when brought to the talking screen.
Eggleston caught the spirit Of In
diana after the Civil War and he
was able 70 make the schoolmaster
quite a figure but on the screen Nor
man Foster fails 10 do much with
the character and at times nothing
at all
His acting often is stilted. over
melodramatic and uncOnvincing He
is handicapped by makeup, while
he is the teacher, which makes him
look more like a comic opera char
acter than a real human being.
The story as brought to the screen
becomes so melodramatic at times
with its man hunt, the burning of
barns and the like that it loses to a
great extent the real background of
Indiana Of other days as Eggleston
pictured it.
Charlotte Henry is Hannah. the
bond servant. and Dorothy Libare
is Martha, daughter of the heavy
land owners, Jake Means and his
wife Sarah
The story has been told by some
very faulty continuity and the dia-
lOgue misses fire often.
The best scene in the picture is
the spelling bee when the school,
master is spelled down by Hannah,
the bond servant.
