TABLES SUGGESTED
AS SUITABLE GIFTS
TiIt-Top Type Is Ideal For
That Wedding Present.

When you buy furniture for a
wedding gift you seem to get more
for your money-and 20 give more
than is the case with almost any
other type of present.
A tilt-top table of a size suitable
for bridge is one of the most &C
ceptable gifts. A nest Of small
tables or a coffee table would also
be universally welcomed. A tele-
phone table and chair is a good
gift idea. A beautiful oriental rug,
however small, would thrill any
bride. A good-looking plant rack,
a lamp or pair Of lamps, a maya
zine holder-any of these is likely
to be warmly appreciated.

STATE

The current show at the cool State presents one of the summer seasons finest programs, where the is seen in Merton c. Coopery's great spectacle, "She." This pic- turization is from the famous novel by H. Rider Haggard. Ran dolph Scott co-stars with Miss Gahagan in this picture and they are strongly supported by Helen Mack and Nigel Bruce.
 The story concerns scientists set- ting out over ice locked wastes to find a flaming fountain of eternal youth. They meet many thrilling adventures.
 An avalanche of ice, laundering down upon them, from which they barely escaped with their lives, was one hair-raising experience. The discovery of a sabre-toothed tiger locked in a tomb of ice, centuries before, was another. Incarcerated with the beast were thee men who had killed it and in turn been de- stroyed by the fearsome animal. Capture by a fieerce, unheard-of cave-dweller trible, and horrible fate at their hands avoided by a hair breadth escape, was enough to satisfy any thrill seeker, but it was just the beginning for Randolph Scott, Nigel Bruce and their com panion, Helen Mack.
 The companion hits Champagne for Breakfast" presents a laugh able farce featuring Mary Carlisle and Hardie Albright.

POLl'S

To-day and tomorrow are the last times to see the current double feature program at Polls made up of Spencer Tracy and Virginia Bruce in Murder Man., Nand George O'Brien and Edgar Ken nedy in Cowboy Millionaire" Saturday brings to town the fa- vorite of everybody, heading what is absolutely the greatest film pro- gram ever presented in this town, Shirley Temple in "Curly Top" This is only one of the delightful treats that are in store at Polls where it is as cool as the pine scented mountains even on the warmest of days.
 John Boles and Rochelle Hud- son also sing and add to. the TO- mantle end of the film, with Shir- ley as the "cupid" who works out the things the right way.
 But this isn't all either if there is a film star that is popular in Waterbury it is Mickey Mouse, in a glorious technicolor picture '"The Band Concert" The manage ment of Poli's theater wish to go on record as stating that this pic- ture is even better than "The Three Little Pigs. A travel, talk and news will make up a program that will be remembered for a long time.

STRAND

Pat O'Brien in "Oil for the Lamps of China" heads the bill at Warner Brothers cool Strand. which today begins three-day en- gagement. Others in the cast in- clude Josephine Hutchinson and Jean Muir. The picture is even more enthralling than the best sell ing novel by Alice Tisdale Ho- bart upon which it is based.
 Pat O'Brien has the leading role, that of an American fired with enthusiasm to make good with his company, a great oil concern, and to bring light to China by the way of lamps and oil.
 Josephine Hutchinson portrays the girl Pat marries and who, in the end. saves him from being cast aside by the company in whose service he had spent life- time of work.
 For a companion feature the in- comparable Wheeler and Woolsey bring many laugh in "The Nit Wits"
 The boys are now cast as cigar counter proprietors with sleuthing propensities. Woolsey invents lie detecting machine which shocks q confession out of the most stalwart liar. Wheeler writes songs with murder themes as an avocation.

tion from within," such as peo- pie are considering these days, re- quires man in the ministry of war who controls the army rigidly. That means man like Marshal Petain or General Weygand.
 It requires also a strong, man who controls the police at the min- istry of the interior. That looks like Jean Chiappe, ex-prefect of police, now president of the Paris municipal council.
 The telegraph and postal serv- ices must also be rigidly held. That looks like George Mandel, the present occupant of the post, and a most dictatoresque figure.
 But the question rises: Would Mandel play ball with the right ? Although a staunch supporter of the late Clemenceau in war days, it is possible that MandePs sym pathies now have turned toward the left.
 BLOODSHED LIKELY
 Having decided the "coup d'etat," the first step is naturally to dissolve parliament, which could legally be done under cer- tain conditions. Then, with the army and the police in hand, the struggle would really begin.
 If the first stages :, of a "new French revolution' might be bloodless and comparatively or- derly, the next stages might be very different. This is because, whichever side might have seized power. its enemies are strong enough to make serious trouble.
 The socialist-communist groups the Common Front" have a terrific weapon in the general strike. To oppose that, the right wingers have notable support in the leagues" = the private armies.
 These, it is predicted, would be instantly mobilized, number ing in Paris alone more than 100,- 900 men. They might be able to

Better Times Help
 Birth Rate Ascend
Upward Turn in Economic Tide Responsible Says
 Statistician of Metropolitan Insurance Company

New York, N. Y.-An increase in the American birth rate in 1884, after it had fallen more than 1G percent between 1923 and 1888, is explained by Dr. Louis l.. Dublin, statistician and third vice-presi- dent of the Metropolitan Life In- surance Company, as resulting di- rectly from an upward turn in the economic tide.
 Better times in both 1883 and 1934," said pr. Dublin, made it possible for thousands of young men and women to consummatc marriages, which the depression had forced them to postpone, and enabled thousands of married couples to fulfill a Fundamental obligation to society and to them- selves-the bearing and rearing of children.
 "The increase in the American birth rate in 1884 was about 8 percent over that of 1933-a rate of I'll per 1000 of population compared with 16.6 for the pre- ceding year. The birth rate in 1926, the last full year of prosper ity, was 19.S per 1000 population.
 Increases in the birth rate were recorded in 40 states and the Dis trict of Columbia and decreases in six states. The states of Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island report ed no change.
 "A reduction in the birth rate was shown in only one of the nine broad geographical divisions of the country = the Middle Atlantic States. In this division the birth rate dropped six-tenths of one per- cent owing to declines of 3.7 per- cent in New Jersey and IA per- cent in New York; Pennsylvania registered a 1.9 percent rise.
 "The increases in the other geo. graphical divisions ranged from 1 percent in New England to 6.1 percent in the East South Central division. All four states in the lat ter division-Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennissee partici- pated in the rise.
 "Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi- gan, and Wisconsin, the East North Central states, all partici- pated in the rise of 2.7 percent for this group. All seven states in the West North Central group, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas, participated in the rise of AZ percent, recorded for that section of the country. A rise of AS percent was recorded for the, South Atlantic division, with Maryland the only one of the nine states constituting it showing de- cline.
 "The West South Central states recorded an increase of 5.2 percent with Arkansas, the only one of the four constituting it, to show q decline. This drop was 3.7 per-

cent, identical with that of New Jersey and the largest recorded for the country. Every one of the Mountain States, with the excep- ton of New Mexico, and all three of the Pacific Coast states, had Q higher birth rate in 1894 than in 1883.
 The rise in three states-Mon- tana, North Dakota and West Vir- ginia-amounted to more than 10 percent in single year. This in- crease is so unusually large that it looks as though the figures re- fleet, in part at least, improvement in birth registration in these states.
 'In passing, it Is interesting to note, that three of the six states showing declines. New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, form a continuous area with a highly in- dustrialized population. In gen. eral, however. the birth rate last year was higher in both industrial and agricultural states"

Will be @ revolution, they say, from within'-that is, staged by a government already in power.
 That was the way, historical minded Frenchmen remember, that Napoleon became dictator. He was already consul, and his step up to unique power was made with the help of the legislative and execu- tive forces already functioning in the land.
 So the "next French revolu- tion" is likely to begin within semi legal lines, and not by mass up- rising of the populace. It might pass without bloodshed at first, be- ing merely a seizure of more pow CTS by the authorities already in office, who would control the army and the al1-important police and public services.
 FASCISM OR MARXISM? The purpose would be to estab- fish government along Fascistic lines-in case the right happened to be the agents, or in Marxist lines, in the other case. Either some kind of "Corporatism" or some kind of communism-such is the predicted result.
 That is why the inoffensive AL bert Lebrun, mild, fearful gen. tleman with charming grandchil- dren whom he loves, and who lives in a handsome palace be- tween the leafy Avenue Gabriel and the rue St. Honore, becomes most unhappily important at this stage of French national existence.
 MT. Lebrun is the president of France, and as such is obliged to call upon somebody now and then to become national premier, the actual ruler of the land.
 Since MT. Lebrun has sworn never to call the Socialist Leon Blum to be premier, it seems like ly that he would turn the other way, and call some right wing leader. That is, perhaps. the tip off.
