Here's the bunch:
Life Begins at $40" opens Mon
day at the National. This is the New
York revue, in tact" from Broadway,
with Bert Lahr. Miss Williams, Dancer
Bolger and all those same chorines
that kept the tired business man
happy in Manhattan. Some red-hot
dances, some popular music and
double kind of revolving stage are
also featured.
Life Begins at 40" at the Palace
is one of Will Rogers better films. He
is in his best humor and supported
by one of his best casts. The hog
calling tournament is a riot. The
girl is Rochelle Hudson, and very
pretty at that, and Richard Cromwell
is the lad in all the trouble. The
whole family should see it.
"Ruggles of Red Gap" at the Earle,
has had so much said about 1t already
that its virtues should be fairly well
known. In case you don't know, how
ever, that Charles Laughton is in it
that Mary Boland Charles Ruggles
and Roland Young are in it, too, and
that Mr.. Laughton reciteS Llncolns
Gettysburg addreSS-we bring these
salient facts to your attention, as also
that it's Just about 100 per cent en-
tertainment.
"Folies Bergere," at Loves Fox,
gives Maurice Chevalier a dual role
and girl who is rapidly going places
in Hollywood This would be Merle
Oberon, new type, a new everything,
and very much worth anybody S
while She is only one of the rea-
sons, however, why "Folies Bergere"
should appeal to you. There's a
dance number at the end which we
imagine Busby Berkeley would like
to claim, and Ann Sothern comes
out a little blonder than before. Two
good songs and not too much non
sense make this one very agreeable.
Man of Aran" at the BelaSco is
the picture that so many people have
been hoping would come to town.
Now that it has We hope that they
will go and see it. It's had very
great success in New York.
Hardie Meakin thinks that yester-
days announcement of Roberta "
continuing at Keith'S for third week
was too small. Mr.. Meakin claims
that three lines is not enough for
such news. We disagree with him.
Roberta" needs only one line. Every
body in town has heard about it, and
wants to see it. What more do
you want, Hardie? Do we have to
say that Fred Astaire is in it? And
that Ginger Rogers is in it? And that
Irene Dunno is in it? And that
''Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" is in it?

"Bombshell" New Film Harlow And
 Tracy At Dream

Jean Harlow and Lee Tracy, together for the first time as co-stars, are said to have pro- vided the biggest truckload of laughs to roll out of Holly wood in the hilarious picture; "Bombshell,' which h e a d S the program Tuesday at the Dream Theatre.
 The production is described as a pictorial record of Holly wood laughing at itself, story woven around the myths and rumors that have flown out of the film capital and presen ted in a composite of humor and laugh-provoking situa- tions for the amusement of the moVie-going public. It is based on a play by Caroline Francke and Mack Crane, ad- apted to the screen by Jules Furthman and John Lee Ma hin.
 Miss Harlow, in what she admits to be the most unus- ual role of her career, is seen as a glamorous screen star whose life is made miserable by the antics of her press agent, Lee Tracy; her liquor- loving father, Frank Morgan; her false lover, Franchot Tone; her director, Pat o. Brien; her secretary.Una Mer kel; her brother, Ted Healy-

Sails South After Looking at Indian

(By The Associated Press)

Ketchikan, Oct. IA, Marion Zionsheck is sailing South af ter having visited native vill- ages. He said "I visited Kla- wock and the living condi- tions of the natives are de- plorable. They lack, and need badly hospital facilities"
 He said much needs to be done for the natives. The transportation needs come se- cond. Completing his first wis it since he came north in 19- 26 as a messboy on the steam ship Oduna, Zioncheck was a passenger aboard the Alaska southbound.

MORE PRECIOUS THAN
 GOLD

New Pioneers and Alaska's Frightening Skies'is the title of an article in the San Fran cisco Pacific Markets, that gives a literary review of AL aska's resources, her import as well as export values, dis playing figures and facts that will go a long way toward dis polling convictions of iceberg regions.
 It also goes to show that AL askans are more interested and pleased about gold, sal mon and other resource pro- duction generally than they are concerned about settlers and their project.
 The interesting fact was also brought out that canned salmon values taken out of Alaska in 1884 reached the staggering figure of $37,OOO,- 900 while gold production for the same year was $18,000 ,000. Salmon is more precious to Alaska, said the writer, than much fine gold.
 Whether the colony pro- ject succeeds or fails, the writer is unable to see how that will affect Alaska's s growth and ultimate great ness. Alaska, the article says will still go forward undis- turbed, passing it's steady but unspectacular development, and which, in this year of general uncertainty, have given Alaskans new confid- ence and pride.

and a score or more of other well-known personalities who constitute what is practically an all star cast.
 Directed by Victor Fleming 'Bombshell' tells the story of the rise to fame of Lola Burns characterized by Miss liar low, her many love affairs, her family woes, her troubles with her producers, her at tempts to adopt a baby, her eventual flight from the glare of publicity and finally-her conquest of true love.
 Together with the featured players already mentioned, the cast of ''Bombshell" in- cludes Ivan Lebedeff, lsobell Jewell, Louise Beavers, Leo- hard Carey, Mary Forbes, C. Aubrey Smith and June Bre- Wster.

Sex In Politics

We're getting a little disturbed over
the political situation in Metz, Mo. Every
body there is hot and bothered. The dis
tressing fact is that the village has split
along sex lines and seems determined to
stay split.
It seemed to outsiders nothing more
than a good joke on the men when,
two years ago, the women hung together
at election time and voted themselves into
all the offices But the men didn't like
it, and as time wore on they wearied more
and more of petticoat rule. Or maybe it's
paiama rule or shorts rule by this time.
Anyway, the trousered and overalled sex
finally put up an all-male slate and elected
themselves to office again. But that's
all the good it did. The women wouldn't
bulge They insist that the men have not
been legally sworn into office, and besides
are not treating the women folks respect
fully. So the men are appealing to the
courts.
1t looks like a good case for counting
rather than courts. Be that as it may, the
situation is serious. If the feud continues,
what can those Metz people do but estab-
lish separate towns, one for men and the
other for women? They could call one
town Amazonia. The Greeks probably
had name for the other, too. Wouldn't
it be Misogynia or something like that?
Amazonia and Misogynia the Twin Towns
of Missouri. There might be money in it
as we'll as offices People would drive
hundreds of miles to see such a political
system in operation.

Better Than We Thought

In a recent address State Tax Commits
sioner William H. Hackett revealed that
the 1886 Legislature passed seven OF the
thirty-three proposals contained In the
survey and report of the Special Tax
Commission, submitted late in 1884 to
Governor Cross for action by the follow
ing session of the Legislature. We didn't
think that the legislators had even PAID
this much attention to the suggestions
offered them for aiding the property
owner, now sadly burdened by taxes.
And Commissioner Hackett is encour-
aged by what took place this spring. he
is even of the opinion that some OF the
proposals that were rejected will yet be
enacted into law. But delving deeper into
his remarks and also those of DR.. George
B. Clarke, State College economist and
member of this Special Tax Commission,
we learn that although some recommen-
dations for equalizing the tax burden
were followed out, there were some ad-
ditional taxes levied that will add to the
burdens.
The most important was the repeal of
the personal tax of 50 and substitution
of the So tax for old age pensions. Cities
and towns are going to find that this
latter tax is not something that can be
kicked around like the personal tax. The
local unit will be responsible to the state
for payment of it's assessment, which in
turn is based on the 1880 census popula-
ton. And discrepancies unfavorable to
the town will have to be made up by the
town, such as a difference between the
amount actually collected and that owed
the state as the share of the relief fund.
The Special Tax Commission had esti-
mated that following out its plan would
result in an increase of revenue for the
state of $13,5O0,000. Instead the states
revenue increases only $2,500,000. We
presume this does not include liquor in
come. There is another way of meeting
this increased revenue figure of the spe-
cial commissions. Bring down expenses
of government to correspond with the
thrift days are gone for both the individ-
times. These are hard times. Spend
ual and government.

The Strange Fish Case

The best minds possible are being sum-
moned to Wallingford these days to solve
the strange case of the tons of dead fish
in North Farms Reservoir. Autopsies On
the bodies of some of the victims were to
be made over the weekend. The results
have not yet been announced. Analysis OF
the water by the State Water Commission
revealed lack of oxygen and at first it
was claimed that this was the cause OF
The wholesale deaths of the fish. But now
there's mystery behind it ALL
It seems that the dead fish taken from
the pond had their gills closed. The best
scientific authorities agree that fish
which dies from lack of oxygen will roll
over on it's back and display open gills.
When you suffocate fish it opens it's gills,
30 that's that. Now employees of the State
Board of Fisheries and Game report that
crawfish, which can live out of water,
were seen crawling out on the banks OF
the pond and dying there.
At this writing it was believed that all
fish life in the pond was dead. We hope
that the offending fish will be removed
Or else the warm suns of August may
cause, if not the deaths, at least the
annoyance of nearby residents. Although
fish were removed from the surface OF
the pond Friday and Saturday, it still
resembled pond-lily bed with dead fish
Floating on the surface, so the report goes.
NO doubt the autopsy may throw some
light on the cause of the strange behavior
of the finny creatures of the North Farms
Reservoir.

Just a Scrap of Paper

You can begin to understand the cynical
way in which the governments of the
world signed the Kellogg anti-war treaty
by mediating on the furore which arose
when Emperor Halle Selassie of Abyssinia
asked the United States to protest Italy's
projected violation of the treaty. Here we
have, seemingly, an open and shut case.
Having renowned war as an instrument
of national policy, Italy for reasons
which Italians find good and sufficient
purposes, to use war as such an instru-
ment. The United States is asked to re-
mind Italy of that remuneration and
instantly there is sensation in all the
capitals of Europe!
1t is pretty clear that the governments
which signed this treaty never had the
slightest notion of abiding by its spirit
If they had, would they be dismayed by
the thought that now, when it might be
of some use, someone is actually thinking
of reminding them of it?

Hard-Boiled Voters

When the country first realized that
Congress would be in session right
through the summer, considerable SYM
patty was expressed for members. How
sad that congressman could not go home
to cool off!
Then large part of the country suf-
fered a prolonged spell of excessive
warmth and humidity, and the popular
comment about the unfortunate law
makers changed. Was it cool in the
harvest fields, farmers asked? Were con-
gressmen's discomforts any greater than
his, demanded John Citizen? Two weeks
vacation is all / get, remarked many
voter, and my income is small fraction
of my congressman's. 1t was observed
that many of the legislators came from
sections of the country just as warm as
Washington, so that going home wouldn't
give them weather relief. AS for work, if
they went home most of them would be
actively mending political fences. All
right chen. Let 'em stick to their job.

little shortsighted. If legislators suffer

"BOONDOGGLING" THROUGH
THE STATES OF VERMONT
AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
Waterbury, Conn.,,
August 3, 1885.

Waterbury, Conn.,,
August 8, 1895.
Editor, the Democrat:
This writer recently took trip
through the state of Vermont and
New Hampshire and hearing the
word "Boondoggling' used, not in
frequently, became interested in Its
definition. 1t would indeed be en-
Tightening If contests were held or
conducted by the various states in
viting the people to send in short
essays on what their ideas are on
the word "Boondoggling" There's
a word that can either start or stop
more people than any other word /
know of. This writer had a very
vague idea of the word from the
beginning and frankly still admits
confusion.
But getting back to Vermont and
New Hampshire. The writer gath
cred a lot of information from the
natives of both the Green and
White mountain country regarding
the government at Washington and
it all came about through this fun
ny sounding word "Boondoggling".
There's a lot of republicans up in
that country and, well, Mr.. Roose-
welt and the democrats in general
are "Boondogglers'' to them.
MIRA, central banking, wealth
tax, IVA, holding companies, work
relief, and other government un-
dertakings are all "Boondoggling"
Some other definitions Of the word
are president, honorary chair
man, whiting, gum chewing, leaf
raking, wrestling, bull throwing,
and other sundry or similar like
occupations. Father Coughlin, Huey
Long, Upton Sinclair, the LaFol-
lette boys and others are Boon
dogglers" of various hues and types
in accordance with the views of the
individual commentator.
One gathers that "Boondoggling"
is just the opposite of Rugged In
dividualism" If Hoover had been
allowed to stay everything would
have come out all right. Boon
doggling would only have taken
place at the top under the disguise
Of Saving the Constitution. All 9TH
ers, unless they had goat stomachs,
would be in the sleep of sleeps.
About the only animal I can think
of that could stand the game of the
survival Of the fittest, is goat.
Looks to me as II the "Boondog-
glers" have gotten the republicans
goat.

There should be no chance of the repub-
lican party going wrong in 1886 in the
selection of it's candidate to run against
President Roosevelt A long list of eligi-
bles has just been submitted to various
party leaders here and there throughout
the country. Robert E. Lucas of Ken
lucky, who acts something like Charlie
Nicholson did for the democrats, sent out
the missives. We'd like to print all the
names, but they'd take up most of this
column, as everybody who ever held office
as republican is named. But unless
something unforeseen happens there won't

that they are unknown; quite the con-
trary, but they are not exactly the type
to send against the democratic President.

And Now Mr.. Durant
Goes in for History
BY BRUCE CATION

Having outlined world philoso-
ply in a manner which at least
gave some thousands of innocent
citizens a bowling acquaintance
with SpinoZa and Plato, Will Dur
ant has undertaken q far more am
bilious project. He is out now to
tell us all about civilization itself,
how it got started, and what has
been happening to it since.
He plans this work as a five-
volume affair, and the first volume
THE Story of Civilization: Our
Oriental Heritage has just been
published. 1t is a remarkable and,
1t seems to me, extremely praise
worthy book.
History, he remarked is half
prejudice and half guesswork. No
one knows just how men made the
jump from savagery to civilization.
The most we can do is trace our
Oldest civilization back as far as
we can, theorize about the ways in
which they got started. then see
what they did after they reached
their flower and examine the ways
in which they handed down the
fruits to ourselves.
In this volume he retells the
story of ancient Egypt-he. con-
siders 1t one OF the greatest civliza-
tons that ever existed-of such
near-eastern countries as Baby
lonia, Assyria, and Persia. and the
great cultures OF India. China, and
Japan.
Merely from the way he makes
ancient history interesting. his
book Is remarkable enough. Its
