POL1'S

They came! 1Iley OdW! 1uey Conquered! That is what everyone has to say in regards to the Marx Brothers in their latest comedy mirthquake "A Night at the Opera in which picture they opened at Polls yesterday as special holiday attraction and which will be the attraction until Tuesday night and how this group of stars can make even the most blase of theater- goers chuckle, giggle and roar al their antics.
 Never before has comedy of this type been shown. Imagine g crowd of buffoons let loose in the sedate atmosphere of an opera house and how they make the most of it.
 On the same program there is another picture that has proven to be very popular. It is "Confiden- tial" and is in relation to the "G' men with Donald Cook and Evalyn Knapp.
 Starting next Wednesday Polls offers another marvellous double feature program; one that will be the best of the year with two out standing pictures on the program.
 The first feature Jack Benny, Ted Healy, Una Merkle and a host of other stars in "It's In the Air and add to his clever comedy that of Ted Hcaly and Una Merkle and an idea may be gleaned of what to expect. The companion feature there will be seen Alice Faye, Mitchell and Durant, Bebe Daniels, Ray Walker and host of other popular musical stars in Music Is Magic, a filmusical that is loaded with songs, dances and plenty of good music.
 On the stage will bring another in the procession of great vaudeville stage shows that are a part of the program at Polls weekly.

Revised Regulations Announced To-day By
 Emergency Leader
Curtaed Quotas Believed aBsis of Excuse for Nuify ing Rules Veterans in Applying for CCC EnrOll-
 ment Must Have Names Removed From Relief

Apparently because of the general ly curtailed quota for the coming en- listment period, veterans applying for enrolment in the eco must now be taken from relief lists, according to information received today by Robert F. Birt, veterans placement officer for Waterbury. The letter is signed by Miss Eleanor H. Little, head of the state emergency relief commission, and outlines revised regulations for the enrolment of veterans, authorized by the national veterans bureau. It nullifies former rules under which ex-servicemen were admitted regardless of their re- lief status and reduces their oppor- tunitieS for enlistment in the corps to the same level as that of the junior enrollee.
 Period to Open
 The enrolment period will open January 3 and continue through cial application forms will be issued January 16, Miss Little states. Spe- for veterans and will require the in- dorsement of a recognized relief offi- cial. The veteran applying for ad- mission to the camps must be a re- cipient of public relief, it is stated. 1t must also be definitely stated in the application form to whom the monthly pay allotment is to be made. Previously, veterans were not required to assign part of their pay to dependents as is the case with junior enrollees.
 Veterans discharged on or after September 30, 1895, are not eligible for re-selection until one year from the date of discharge, it is pointed out. The letter adds that those re- ceiving aid from the state veterans fund will be considered Ion public relief"
 Smaller Quota
 The quota for Connecticut, in line with a general reduction throughout the country, will be much smaller during the January enlistment pe- riod than at any previous time dur ing to information received at the se- ing the history of the corps, accord lecting agency at Lincoln House, Saturday. As consequence, qualifi- cations for all types of recruits are to be made Stricter, and 1t will be possible for local agents, the general letter states, to select "a high type of enrollee."

Ill., ness and more frequent absences from work may have seemed minor at times, but in the aggregate they indicate failure to live up to the rules of personal hygiene and ex- cesses here and there that upset the balance of the health budget. The scales may indicate failure to con- trol the tendency toward steadily in- creasing weight, that exercise has been neglected while greater reli- ance than ever has been placed in the automobile, that persistent ap- petite has resulted in partaking of more food than the daily activities warrant, and that the sweet tooth" has been allowed to crowd health full foods out of the diet.
 Such criteria will show whether or not the personal health account for 1885 is lin the red" the bulle- tin said, but it is possible to start with clean sheet for the new year during which earnest adherence to the following resolutions will aid in keeping the health budget in ball. ance:
 An T Program" I will take account of my health by consulting my physician for a thorough physical examination and follow his instructions as to any defects that need correcting. I will rearrange my time so 1t will more nearly conform to 8 health full balance of eight hours sleep and rest, eight hours work and eight hours recreation and exercise.
 I will not be unduly alarmed about my health but will adopt hy- gienic rules of living as to cleanli- ness, relaxation, outdoor exercise, healthful eating habits and elimina- ton which science has shown to be essential to health.
 will refuse to be influenced by p5eudo-health teachers whose dy- manic presentation of alleged health facts present pitfalls for the unwary.
 I will watch my leisure time &C., tivities lest the pleasure of the mo- ments unduly influence my activi- ties to the end that interesting hob- bies, contact with friends, the read ing of worthwhile books and outdoor recreation are not neglected.

Senators Augustine Lonergan and Francis T. Maloney, various mayors and members of the statl central committee are planning to attend the affair which will be one of the biggest events III the second congressional district in many years.

GOV. CURLEY TO
 SUPPORT DOLAN

Boston, Dec. 16-(UP) - Cover nor Curley to-day had pledged full support to the defense of Edmund L. Dolan, who with six others is being sued by the city of Boston for recovery of allegedly illegal pro- fits approximating $250,000 said to have been made on municipal bond transactions. while Dolan was city treasurer during Curley's last term as mayor.
 Charging that suit signed by Mayor Frederick w. Mansfield, 8 political foe, represented an attempt by a small group to destroy Dolans reputation, Curley warned that those instigating the court action would be prosecuted under the con- spiracy laws if sufficient evidence could be secured.
 It was learned that the city prob ably would present Edward J. Sup pie, former president and general manager of the legal securities cor poration, as chief witness in an at- tempt to show that Dolan as city treasurer purchased bonds at exor- bitantly high prices from brokerage houses which he himself controlled.

If everyone would take a years end accounting of his health in the same manner that financial books are reviewed to learn ones standing at the close of the year, many would undoubtedly find that they are "in the red" as compared with their health status of year ago, the state department of health said in its current weekly bulletin urging the adoption of five New Year reso- lutions which will help immensely to avoid similar deficit in personal well-being at the end of 1886.
 A personal health audit, the bull letin stated, will doubtlesSly reveal that it has been a strenuous year, that work has been absorbing and play exhilarating, but that rest and

tighten and not to condemn Miss Wunderlich is the purport of this letter.
 Quoting from her letter: "One wonders what dictionary is the New Workers authority for say- ing 'harass" for 'ha'rass,' To- cate" for locate 'il,lustrate' for illustrate and inquiry for inqui'ry.'?"
 Prior to the advent of the New Merriam Webster DictiOn- ary, which was about 8 year and 8 half ago, it was incorrect to say "locate'," :in'quiry" or "harass'." These forms have now received the imprimatur of the dictionary makers and are to be recognized and considered as 'locate," "ha'rass" or inquiry" For more than twenty years, to my knowledge, "illustrate" has had two correct accommodations.
