NATALIE CARR LEAVES CONVENT

New York, Dec. 3.-(UP)-Miss Natalie E. Carr, 2l, great grand- daughter of General Joseph Brad ford Carr, a famous Indian fight CT and once secretary of state of New York, has decided to give the world another try. She forsook her college career at Vassar in 1883 to take up life behind the convent walls that had sheltered her in early childhood.
 Miss Carr, recently a novice in the convent of the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary at St. Hya- cinth, Que, returned to New York last Friday, her grandmother, Mrs. Hattie A. Weldon announced today.
 T have always had objection to her decision to pursue the religious life," Mrs. Weldon said. Ever since she took the veiel early in 1884 I have written her and begged her to reconsider"
 The girls disappearance from the convent caused nearly as much ex- citement as her equally mysterious disappearance from her home two years ago. In 1883 she left the home of her grandfather, Rich ard E. Carr in Clinton, Conn, and was discovered at the convent where she had received her early educa- tion.
 The girls grandmother said that she would not stand in her way of seeking the religious life if she decided to take the step after seri- ous consideration.

BELIEVES US. IS
 HEADED FOR WAR

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 3-(UP) Kirby Page, author and noted pacifist, believes the United States lis definitely headed for war"
 Speaking at Yale university last night, Page declared that unless there is a drastic and immediate change in our present policies 1t is quite evident that peace is impos- sible.."
 He referred to the crisis in Italy and to two others even more ex- plosive," which he claimed were coming soon."
 The Hitler regime in Germany he referred to as "a madhouse in which preparations for war are proceeding both day and night"
 He said he was pessimistic over the Naz future and believed the eco- homie situation in Germany makes war with Russia inevitable"
 Even more urgent is the Japa- nese policy of absorbing China and 1t will not be long before she is brought into collision with Great Britain or the United States"
 To keep out of war, he said, the United States must drastically change its policy of neutrality"

 VANDERBILT LOST

Albany. Dec. 3-(UP)-The court of appeals, New York's last court of resort, declined to-day to review Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt's fight to win outright custody of her 11-year old heiress daughter, Gloria.

 The appellate division of the su- preme court previously had denied Mrs. Vanderbilt permission to ap- peal to the court of appeals and she carried her fight directly to the court of last resort in New York.
 The decision contained 13 words:
 Motion for leave to appeal de- nied with $10 costs and necessary printing disbursements"

JOHN J. KINIRY.
 LOSES DIVORCE

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 3-(UP) - John J. Kiniry, Hartford, who sought to have his marriage of Il years ago annulled or declared il- legal on grounds g license had not been obtained until after the cere- mony, was denied decree today by Superior Judge Arthur F. Els. Kin try brought the action against Mrs. Claire L. Kiniry, New Britain, who, he testified, he married at l o'clock in the morning and few hours before the birth of their child. A license, he said, was procured when the town clerks office was opened and the marriage recorded.
 Judge ELS found "the marriage was voluntarily entered into by this plaintiff. He insisted that 1t be per- formed for the child's sake. He said he would do the right thing by the mother and child. He has no grounds for divorce.
 He chooses to refuse to live with her. That is his right, but he can- not go further and successfully de- mand that the state shall dissolve his marriage"
 Kiniry originally brought the ac- ton on grounds of desertion.

 PeOn Labor System
 The company has been charged with using "peon labor system" in its factory at Hellicourt, France, and with pursuing unfair business methods in other parts of the world. To all such criticisms Bata replies that its workers are paid prevailing wages. (Maximum pay for skilled male worker at lin is about $13.50 a week; for an unskilled woman, about $4.5O.
 The company is almost wholly self-contained, manufacturing its own boxes, faces, and eyelets. Each retail store operates its own repair department, remaking Bata shoes for a pittance. Many of the stores even offer a cheap chiropody ser- vice for those who wear Bata shoes.
 Bata's American business has been confined to women's shoes. Recently the concern has installed equipment for making wide last shoes, which will fit American men. In the meantime the company has been obtaining an increasing share of the worlds shoe business by fol- lowing old Thomas Bata's precept: Speed production and lower prices whenever business falls off," Latest example of this was an order from Benito Mussolini a few weeks ago for 100000 army shoes.

 Nothing New to Him
 If today's election is close, it'll be nothing new to Bossy. When elected for his first term his margin over Oscar Nelson was only 495 votes, and when he was reelected over Michael Cashman two years later he had but 40 votes to spare.
 Because of Bossy's comfortable plurality over Kelleher in the four cornered primary. his rooters pre- dicted fairly easy victory for him today.
 In any event, it was safe bet that virtually every able-bodied man and woman among the 7,- $40 registered voters would visit the polls before closing time, 4 p. m., fe: an 88 per cent vote was cast in the primary. And that was held on the rainiest, foggies day of the year.

 French Deputies Scrap
 Paris, Dec. 3.-(UP)-Debate in the chamber of deputies on suppress sing of Fascist Semi-military organ izations in France became so up- roarious today that the session had to be suspended.
 Deputy Marc Rucart, speaking in the name of the entire left, bitterly attacked Premier Pierre Laval, charging that he had not kept his promises to the republic.
 Laval, Rucart said, remained im- passive in the face of the Fascist Croix De Ecu, whose meetings are 'rehearsals for Civil War;" and re- mained impressive in the face of 'in- citations to murder"
 Deputy Paul Elbel. trade expert ~ho lost an eye in disorders on the flo, last March, described his mis- fortune amid an uproar. He charged that his aggressor was still at large and that the government had done nothing.

JACQUES THEATER
 REOPENS TONIGHT
Lasky Players Featured in "Her Majesty, the
 Widow"

The Lasky Players commence their season of recent Broadway successes tonight at Jacques theater with their presentation of John Charles Brownell's hilarious comedy of last season "Her Majesty, The Widow in which Miss Pauline Frederick was starred.
 The play contains so many com edy situations that it is almost one continuous series of laughs from the first to the last curtain. It is certain to please Waterburians and to give them one of the best eve- ning's entertainment any theater has offered here in many a season
 MT. Lasky, the producer, has gathered together group of stage motion picture and radio perform CTS, all of whom are well known and which gives promise of being one of the best stock companies ever assembled. Waterbury has al- ways been favorable to stock for entertainment, and MT. LaSky in- tends to give Waterbury the best that can be obtained for stock presentation in the way of plays, players and direction.
 The Lasky Players will not offer any play which was ever before presented in stock in Waterbury. An enterprising list of future plays has been arranged for future pres entation including the biggest hits of the past three years. This was done because MT. Lasky is certain that the people of Waterbury are really anxious to see and hear the spoken drama again in preference to the cinema or radio. The Lasky Players include the Misses Claire Wilson, Elizabeth Langille, Jacque- line Condon and Nancy Haswin, and the MessrS. Darlington Lewis Robert Regent, Walter Cartwright, Frederick Freeman and Jefferson Place. The direction of the plays have been placed in the capable hands of Kent Thurber, who was for several seasons so well acclaim ed in this city as the director and star of the Waterbury Players at this same theater.
 The prices have been made pop ular, and are 25c to 66c for evening performances except Sunday when the prices are from 40c to 83c. Mat inees are Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday and prices are 25c and 40c. Tickets are on sale for the entire season.

 The pail was of the common two- decker variety, with a turret cover for coffee. Filled, it would hold enough to appease ravenous ap- petite. The governor was asked if he had any recommendation as to how the 1886 pail should be built, Frankly" he said, T believe it should be made of some durable material. If worse comes to worse, it could be made of tin or alumin- um, but 1t would have to be lined with porcelain, because it should be made to hold beer. I can hardly wait for 1886 to see what the new full dinnerpail will look like"
