 SPEAKS ON RADIO

Boston, April 22--(UP)-Crooner Rudy Vallee returned to New Yo,k today after topping his conviction on an assault charge with radio speech attacking the 'idocy" of pulp licity.
 T believe that an, artist stands or falls by his york;" Vallee said in talk broadcast over 8 New England network-at his own ex- pense. Publicity is of little help to him in the long run. In the speci- fic sense, publicity is the inane nonsense that publicity agent is hired to think up and get into print On tfie other hand, when I come to a city for an appearance, I have always felt that dignified announce ments of ones appearances were all right"
 Referring to his convictino on q charge of assaulting a photographer who snapped a picture of Rudy and Miss Evelyn Gresham of New York in theater lobby, the crooner de- tended his actions as ''solely" for Miss Gresham.
 Municipal Judge Daniel J. Gillen filed Rudy's case, but fined his friend, Harry Paul of Boston. $50 on an assault charge. Paul appealed.

Watertown can be operated by gaso- line driven vehicles. |y Manager Chapman stated today today that while the company that makes the busses has had no labor difficulties, companies from whom parts for the busses are purchased have had trouble, and this has re- tarded the construction of the ve- hicles.
 Substitutions
 The state public utilities commis- sion granted the c. R. & l.. permis- sion to substitute busses for trolleys on all local routes with the excep- ton of Willow street, in finding issued March 24. Since that finding busses have been substituted only on the North Main and Town Plot line.
 On April g, the utilities commis- sion conducted a hearing on the company's petition to substitute busses for trolleys on the Willow street line, but as yet has issued nc finding on the petition. It $ expect ed that the commission will favor the request.
 Routes Considered As soon as the new busses are delivered, several changes are ex- pected to be made in the continuity of present lines. The Baldwin street line will probably be connected with Oakville, and if the Willow street petition is granted, that line will connect with East Main street.

Here's . way to get rid of ugly fat that works hand in hand with Nature. Millions of people are losing millions of pounds of flabby flesh and getting bGck slender fig ures, without the need of starvation diets or back breaking exercises.
 Medical science has discovered that one of the causes of too much fat lies in little gland. It is the duty of this tiny gland to make about one drop and half every day of a vital fluid. This helps the body burn" up food and excess fatty tissues just as a good draft of air helps the furnace co burn up coal without forming "clinkers". If this little gland doesn't make this drop and a half of fluid every 24 hours. many people take on ugly fat
 Doctors correct this condition by feeding this little gland the substance it lacks s-- and Marmola Prescription Tablets are based on this same method. Millions are using them with success.

Young Girl Sole Witness Of R. R. Auto Fatality
Official Probe Started To-
 day in Death of Carl V. Mason, 73

The Waterbury district office of the New Haven Rail- road today continued an in- vestigation into the accident in which Carl V. Mason, 73, prominent Bristol real estate man and insurance agent and former state representa- tive, was instantly killed when his automobile was struck by a Waterbury bound train at a crossing in Plainville.
 Several Waterburians were on the train, among them Attorney Edward McDonald, who was returning from yesterdays session of the state gen. eral assembly.
 Investigators leaned to the theory that Mason's car stalled on the tracks just as the train came along. Signal lights on both sides of the track were to be in good working order. The only eyewitness was Corinne Edman, IS, of Ledge Road, Plainville.
 The train dragged the automobile for about 25 feet past the crossing. The machine was completely de- molished. The crossing is on the state highway near the Trumbull Electric Manufacturing Company plant.
 Mason served in the general as- sembly in 1903 and 1905. He held public office in Bristol several times and was prominent in several or ganizations. Surviving are his wife, two daughters and three brothers.
 The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon, with services at 2 o'clock at the Carlyle Fuller Barnes Me- morial Chapel, Plainville. Burial will be in West cemetery.
