Follows Statement That a

ROUTE TO BALTIMORE

Informed of rumors that discus
sion of Chesapeake Bay traffic
tube had been revived in cOnnec-
ton with a public-works program
for Maryland Howard Bruce, Dem
ocratic National Committeeman
and former chairman of the Chesa-
peake Bay Bridge Authority, said
last week: 1T sounds like a lot of
hooey to me-" The feasibility of a
tunnel under the Chesapeake was
investigated more than two years
ago, Mr.. Bruce explained, when
agitation for the Eastern Western
Shore link was at its height. A
study by an engineering firm re-
tanned by the bridge authority, he
added, showed that the idea of a
tube of that length would be pre-
posterous," and that the costs of
ventilation alone would be almost
prohibitive in view of the traffic
anticipated. An island half way
would have to be built

Invented SpectacIes

The invention Of spectacles is at
tributed to Roger Bacon in the Thir-
teenth century. The history of
lenses, however, says the Washing
ton Star, may be traced to antiq-
uity. In the recent excavations of
Nineveh, lenses were found which
are believed to date to the Seventh
century, B. C. The Emperor Nero
used concave jewel (smaragdus)
to assist his sight Benjamin
Franklin invented bifocals From
the context of a letter addressed to
George Whatley of London, dated
May %, 1885, it may be inferred
that he invented them before he
went to France, which was in the
latter part of 1776.

An example of the latter kind of
disappointment is the postpone
ment of an event to which you
have looked forward for some time
or-much worse, not to be able to
attend at all.
Now it is possible to overcome
both of the effects that these two
types of disappointments have
upon us. If they make us dis
agreeable, grouchy, or leave us
with the feeling that fate is
against us, let these be but mo-
mentary. Otherwise, if the GUS

To-day Direct from her tri-
umph as cleopatra" Claudette
Colbert steps into an intensely
modern role as the heroine of Fan
ME Hurst's limitation of Life. !"
Warren William has the leading
male role. The best-selling novel
from which the motion picture
story was derived has been trans
posed to the screen without loss of
the elements that made the Fannie
Hurst book popular. The direction
was handled by John NJ. Stalhl,
known as master of domestic
drama. Claudette Colbert will be
seen as Bea Pullman in one of the
outstanding emotional characteri-
cations of her career. She is the
embodiment of all young woman
hood struggling with the problems
of love and life, managing to pro-
vide a livelihood for herself
through denial, gaining only a love
starved existence, an imitation of
life. Stahl has long been known
as a master in the direction of do
mestic drama, and here he has I'M
doubtedly exceeded all his past eff
forts. This may also be said of
the versatile Miss Colbert, who de-
livers in this picture a characteri-
zation which she has never before
approached. In moods of gaiety or
of tragic drama she is equally eff
fective, and at all times altogether
charming Warren William plays
opposite Miss Colbert, as he did in
Cleopatra" and it is a happy
combination. He is an attractive
figure as her lover in the later Sc
quences of the story, and Ned
Sparks in his delightful self as the
sour-visaged Elmer.

The covering of SLOW is not do
ing the wheat crop in this section
any good according to growers
around Milford, due to the fact
that the ground, prior to the snow
fall, was covered with ice. Usually
when snow covers the ground, the
wheat is protected from the cold
and prospers under this covering.
The snow melting works its way to
the roots and gives the crop a
boost, but prior to the present fall
the ground was covered with a
thidk coat of ice from a sleet storm
which preceded the snow. AS the
snow melts, this ice, it is felt, will
