Today, with IT different tumor clinics established in as many dif- ferent hospitals throughout the state, there is no reason for any cancer case in Connecticut to go without the most approved, up-to- date( scientific treatment possible, the State Department of Health re- ported today in it's weekly bulletin.
 Diagnostic and treatment facili- ties heretofore tnobtainable except at considerable expense are now available for any doctor in the state, the bulletin said in describ- ing the wide network of defense which Connecticut has established against the attacks of a disease which now takes 2,00O lives within the state boundaries each year.
 Study Ordered
 Because of the increased span of life expectancy and greater medi- cal knowledge, more and more cases of cancer are being discovered an- nually. Realizing this, the 1895 gen. eral assembly authorized study of the cancer problem as recommended by the State Medical Society's com- mittee appointed to investigate the matter. This committee, in collabor- ation with the State Department of Health has developed a plan of de- fense against the cancer problem which seems to be best suited to the needs of teh people of this state. The present organization consists of the Tumor Committee of the State Medical Society and subdivision, consisting of @ scientific committee and a committee on publicity, work ing in conjunction with the Division of Cancer Research of the State De- partment of Health.
 The Scientific Committee is re- sponsible for the establishment of tumor clinics at various strategic points throughout the state and, through its sub-committees on path ology, therapy, and records, rnain- tenance of minimum standards. In this way, standardization of the clinic records of cancer cases is made possible and valuable of in- formation and experience among the various clinics. Moreover, important statistical information is secured, such as the length of time patients delay before seeking treatment, the reasons for such delay, the types of cancer treated, and the kinds of treatment used, as well as the re- suits of the various tratements.
 Statistics Rendered
 The publicity committe dissemin- ates information on cancer to the medical profession through medical society meetings, tunor clinic con- ferences, hospital staff meetings, and bulletins to the profession.
 The State Department of Health, through the Cancer Research Divi- sion, acts as a clearing house for cancer statistics, classifying and tabulating them. Here records of all cancer deaths in Connecticut are

The picture that has everythingl
 Fatal Lady," which opens a three-day engagement at The State theater tomorrow afternoon, has that "something" that delights lov- CTS of intriguing mystery. It has that glamour that is linked with the stage and opera world. It has the necessary background for rapid dramatic action that includes wideA ly-eparated corners of the world and it has 8 glorious star with a glorious singing voice Mary Ellisl
 She plays the part of a concert singer bounded by fate. Death crosses her path three times and carries away in its grasp men, who had entered into her life, and be- came part of it. She tried to escape its sinister influence in flight in change of name, in starting life anew, but still she haunted. And strange to say one that loved her and loved her art caused her the greatest suffering. He revealed his hand when death in 8 most unex- pected way touched him.
 "Je Vous Adore" by Sam Coslow and Victor Young and two original operas, Isabella" and Bal Masque" provide the musical opportunities for Miss Ellis.
 Such names as Walter Pidgeon, Ruth Donnelly, Norman Foster and John Halliday add luStre to the prestige of the supporting cast. And from mystery, love and death, one turn to the accompanying fea- ture bill--"Bunker Bean" and ind love again with laughs and comedy as its escort. Owen Davis, Jr., and Louise Latimer are the young stars that present the picture version of Harry Leon Wilson's original story. Need one add more of MT. Wilson than to state that he is the author of "Ruggles of Red Gap" and ''Mer- ton of the Movies"
 Tonight brings to Q close two of the seaeson's memorable hits-Joe F. Brown in 'Earthworm Tractor" and. Madeleine Carroll the attrac- tive English blonde actress, and George Brent in that smashing dra- matic hit-"The Case Against Mrs. Ameg."
 Laughs, laughs and more laughs just pour out of Joe E. Browns pic- ture, while one follows with moisten eyes and suspense the fight of Mra. Ames-fOr her life and then tor euSsody of her boy .4, ,..--.,.

Editor Tall Tower Topics: Sunday afternoon as I viewed the newly laid lanes of concrete pavement East Main street had great amount of admiration for the project because it appeals to the eye of the visiting mo- toris and also adds to the attractiveneSS of the city, There is not anything essential to the progress of community than wepaved thoroughfares in this mobile and observe the loss of crowds and the foorn appear ance of most cities from Friday night to Monday morn ing According to statistics out of twenty-five million
 motor cars owned by the people of this country ten mill lion take to the roads the weekend and each car travels approximately fifty miles, manfestng the great amount of miles covered by the public on wheels and the our city, Also there is the monetary point of view to be considered due to The Week End Habit and the citizens of each community will have to be alert in the future to compete with the drawing power of the attractions in other places to satisfy the desire of those who steadily m dulge in "The Week End Habit" Progressly yours-J " Walker.

STRAND

Folks, just credit Walter Winchell with a niftyl It was no chance ob- servation on his part when he pen ned the statement: Better than The Fugitive From the Chain Gang" It was excellent writing, expressing excellent Judgment and hundreds of Waterburians are now okaying Walters comment, for they have seen Spencer Tracy and Syl- via Sidney in Fury, the current attraction at The Strand theater.
 What a team Miss Sidney and Mir. Spencer comprisel What a series of thrills do these stars give audiences as they help to unravel the pnchy story of Fury. Nothing Miss Sid ney accomplished in "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" or Tracy in "Whipsaw" and "Riffraff" seems to have possessed the power to impress SO favorably and so effectively as their work in this great play, a play that shows the fury of a mob in- famed with desire to kill, a play that shows the urge of an abused individual to get revenge. Tracy es- caping the fiery furnace made for him when the mob burns down the iail which housed him, sets the stage for revenge, only to find that in his hour of vinditive triumph he is not willing to go on. And the gesture that accompanies his resig- nation, is the turning point Of a great play.
 And for laughs that balance the bill of entertainment, by all means see the star of "She Married Her Boss" Edith FelIers in And So They Were Married. This is a real rib -tickler". The scenes are shot in the magnificent Sierra mountains. A gay divorcee and a rich widower are led into the web of love and marriage by their own children, but not in a way you might suspect. But in a way that is a knockout hit in comedy.
 Starting Thursday the hit parade continues with two really entertain ing attractions-"One Rainy After noon," with Francis Lederer, Ida Lupino, Roland Young, Hugh Her. bert and Erik Rhodes, and NMurder By An Arlstocrat" starring Lyle Talbot with Marguerite Churchill and Claire Dodd.
 A tip. in advance-the parade will swing around shortly before your reviewing stand with Edward e. Robinson in Bullets or Ballots" Clark Gable and Jeanette MacDon- aid in "San Francisco" tand Q host of others. Watch the Strands arl- nouncements for hits of hitsi

Lewis "Quick on Draw"

If husky John l.. Lewis, leader of the mine workers and other industrial unionists, doesn't look out, he will be get- ting a reputation as a wise- cracker.
 The question came up as to how William Green, whose membership in the A. F. of L. derives from membership in the miners union, could still be president of the A. F. of L. if the United Mine Workers were suspended.
 It was pointed out that he could be elected to another union. Lewis suggested that Gren might get into the musi- clans union, because, he said, Bill was an accomplished f1d- dler. Then he added, after a pause, while Rome burns!"
 What's the charger" he was asked after 1t was announced that the committee for indus trial organization union would go on trial.

Do you remember when wrist watches were sissy, When gals did such prtnking they were labeled prSsy9 When ladies wore patents with smooth black tops, hobble skirts caused you many mnces and hops? When "Ah tere dearies" condemned chap pretty fresh When your mother wore veil of loud dotted mesh? the villain entered stage how the orchesra played, The heroine covering in background afraid?

of an army transport plane to Jas per, Ala, to get a bill passed in the closing days of congress to Speaker William Bankhead for signature.
 Then the plane tok off to Uvalde, Tex, where Vice-Presidept Garner also signed the measure. The bill was supposed to be rather incon- seuuential one, overlooked in the last minute rush on Capitol Hill.
 The inside story is this: In the
 closing days the administration pushed through a bill providing that congressional committees
 might take recalcitrant witnesses
 to court on contempt charges in
 the summer and fall as well as
 when congress was in session.
 The bill passed house and sen- ate without amendment. But some one on the senate side wrote on 1t passed with amendments" If that had been correct, the bill couldn't have become a law, as the house had no time to pass on any senate amendments.
 Bill Goes Wrong
 The bill went on the wrong pile and considerable mixup resulted Finally everything was straight ened out and the bill was saved by the quick flight to Jasper and Uvalde.
 Significance of the episode is that important senate Investigating com mittees will be able to make things immediately hot for witnesses who refuse to answer their questions, ir- stead of being compelled to wait url- til after election-and until con- gress reconvenes in January-to be able to start prosecutions.
 The committees to which this Is most important are those investi- gating campaign funds expenditures. labor espionage and civil liberties violations, railroad financing. and lobbying.

 Washington, July 21-The anus ing and exciting aspects of the Townsend movements convention in Cleveland still gave little indica- ton as to the size of the vote the Lemke ticket will roll up this year.
 Among politicians, hardly anyone has been heard of who is at the mo- ment guessing total of more than ,5OO, ,0OO. Many estimates run be- low that.
 Despite the fact that Dr. Town send himself and the Rev. Gerald Smith have joined Father Cough lin in supporting Lemke. there is no particular boom in the North Dakota cOngressman's stock.
 One reason is that it appears to be manifestly impossible to "de- liver" the Townsendites to any pre- idential candidate this year. Town sends hold on his followers is none too firm. When the impreSsively large crowd of delegates cheered Gomer Smiths pro-Roosevelt speech almost as hysterically as they did Coughlin's vicious attack on the pres ident, it began to appear that the doctors dream of controlling mil- lions of votes might be slightly cockeyed. ... Further Tip-Off
 A further tip-of is that the three states of the Pacific Coast, birth place and chief stronghold of the Townsend movement, are generally considered certain to go for Roose- welt this year by big majorities.
 Nevertheless, the Union Party will be backed by the most spec tacvular group of rabble-reusers gathered into a political party in our time - lacking only the late Huey Long to give it vital leader ship - and predictions now are likely to fall wide of the mark, either way.
 The ticket will get much or most of what cynical politicians call the nut vote" and anybody really knows how big that vote is.
