HOLLYWOOD, Jan. e-For
years now parent-teacher aSsocia-
tons have been requesting the
producers not to make horror pic
lures because of the effect it
might have on young people.
Their plea sounded very plausible
until we now discover that Boris
Karloff (the supreme star of all
times) in his colossal fan mail
discovers that 80 per cent of the
missives are sympathetic. Particu-
larly the ones from little boys
land there are plenty who feel
so badly that he is killed off in
every opera. Well, they won't
have to feel that way about this
new one THE Walking Dead" be-
cause they electrocute him and
then bring him back to life again.
Hear tell that Cornelius Wander
bilt, ST., is being unhitched by his
third wife and what's more that
a publisher offered Mrs. v. $50, 900
for the story Of her married life
with him, and that at the moment
she has tentatively accepted it
so we will see what we will see.
You'd be that amazed If you
knew the name Of the well-known
actor currently making a come
back in a very large and we'll
advertised picture who cannot re-
member his lines, which makes it
CHEEKY for the director, and what's
more, has had to have a guard
assigned to him to keep him
from bending the elbow at least
during the making Of this epic.

This unusual task Of screen
writing was done by W. P. Lips

 These figures would indicate that perhaps some 30 women who bore children in 1885 are living, who might have been dead if their babies had come two years earlier, and to maintain the 1885 rate all present preventative measures must be used to the limit, the bulletin de- clared. This can be accomplished by indirect education through dis tribution of printed matter and through exhibits of food and model clothing and de livery equipment to reach uninformed women, but of even greater help will be direct ed ucation through conferences, health talks and actual demonstrations to groups and individuals.
 Reduces Sickness
 Such education will reduce not only mortality rates but also much of the sickness which takes place dur ing the puerperal state. If the life of one mother is saved, it is likely that ten mothers have been spared illness, the bulletin stated. Guidance by physician prevents unrecorded illness as well as recorded deaths.
 Frequent and regular examina- tions during pregnancy was urged by the department, since it not only reduces the chance of death and ill., ness, but since it relieves mental anxiety as well. If fear could be replaced by assurance and the sense of security in the mind of every ex- pectant mother, the time and effort spent in prenatal examinations would be well repaid. Women who have had an opportunity to realize the benefits of medical care go to their doctor regularly during preg- nancy for examination and advice. All expectant mothers, the bulletin said, should have early and contin- uous care, should carry out the doc tors instructions, and should have a definite plan for proper attention at the time of delivery.

STATE MUST PAY
 MORE FOR RELIEF
Social Agencies Believe It Should Shoulder More
 City Responsibilities

Hartford, Conn, April 28-U.P0 There was agreement today among social agencies that the state should bear 8 greater portion of municipal relief loads, but the meth cd of raising an estimated addition al $4,500,000 a year to accomplish the program lacked solution. The suggestion of increasing the states responsibility was made during a conference of social workers and the state commission to study the pauper laws.
 Some Conclusions Conclusions of the meeting late yesterday were that inadequate grants were allowed widows; that relief standards in many commun- ities were too low, drastic revision of the resettlement laws was neceS- sary, and there was need of extend- ing the scope of the statutes regard ing paternity Of illigitimate chill dren.
 Establishment of what would amount to little era to centralize the administration of state grants to towns was proposed by Miss Eleanor H. Little, former state EZRA direc- tor. She recommended the state bear not less than one-third and not more than one-half of municipal relief expenditures.
 Sales Tax Talked Of
 In answer to a query of John H. King, Willimantic, a member of the commission. as to how funds were to be raised, Miss Little indicated 8 sales tax would be desirous. Dr. Charles G. Chakerian, secretary and consultant of the commission, esti- mated municipalities now are spend ing $12,000000 a year for relief and the state about $3,000,000 The need for additional grants also was ex- pressed by Dr. Albert w. Buck, sup erintendent of New Haven hospital, who said the present rate paid hos pitals for carrying relief cases was insufficient and presented Serious financial problem"

Police Super1ntendent William J. Roach once more appealed for pub- lie cooperation this morning. Re- iterating his statement that the campaign would be carried to every section of the city, the superintend- ent pointed out that it was the duty of every driver to acquaint himself with both city and state laws on parking.
 Section 1853
 Superintendent Roach called at- tention to section 1853 of the state motor vehicle department regula- tions, which specifically forbids "left-hand parking" the type of of- fense particularly prevalent in Wa terbury. The regulation states that mo car is permitted to remain sta- tionary upon any part of the high way except the right hand side of said highway in the direction in which it is headed" This provision is also made in city ordinance.
 In answer to complaint this morning by driver who said he was not notified" that his car was to be tagged, Superintendent Roach point ed out that 1t has never been police practice either in Waterbury or any other city to give such notification. He said the campaign would con- tinue until parking violations were reduced to a minimum.
 Tickets Filed
 Deputy Superintendent Daniel J. Carson, who with Superintendent Roach is in charge of the cam paign, continued to receive and file parking tickets at headquarters this morning, but the number brought in showed reduction as compared with yesterday.
