Strosbourg Reody
For Another War

ORDERS for evacuation of civil
~ ians have been issued il
Strasbourg, the "City Of Strife" on
the French frontier. But war Is
not new to Strasbourg. For CEN
turtles the inhabitants Of this Al
SAGE city have known war and all
its horrors.
The Franks took the city from
the Romans in the fifth century,
and until Louis XIV seized it in
1881 Strasbourg was German ter
ritory, at times an imperial city.
Under French rule the city pros
pered, for Louis XIV was wise
enough not to try to force Stras-
bourgers to nay heavy taxes or
to serve in his armies. The people
became so thoroughly French that
the "Marseillaise," the French ma
tional anthem, was born there.
In 1870. after 100 days siege.
the city surrendered to the Ger
mans, but Prussian imperialists
were unable to force its whole
hearted return to the German ma
ton. After the World War it was
returned to France.
Strasbourg is noted for its 18th
century cathedral, one of the most
famous examples of Gothic art.
The building was severely dam
aged by German artillery fire in
1870, escaped destruction in the
World War.
Famous too, is the cathedral's
clock, a masterpiece Of mechan-
ism, that not only records time,
but the movement of stars,
planets, and acts as a calendar as
well.
The Cathedral of Strasbourg Is
shown on the French stamp
above, issued to commemorate the
500th anniversary of its compile
ton.

She laid her hand In his, the
fingers were cold and stiff. Good

getting denser.
He picked UP the suitcase and
went to the door, reaching for his
hat. Dropping the suitcase, he
came back and took her in his
arms. Holding her, he kissed the
little hollow In her throat. Good
by, Glad" he whispered.
After a while Marian found that
she was still standing in the center
of the living room. She wore her
smart little hat, her gloves lay on
the davenport where she had
thrown them. Raising her hand,
she touched the little hollow In her
throat with chilly finger-tips. Dan
had always called that his little
spot.
withdrawing her fingers, she
looked at them with strange eyes,
Dan had gone. 1t didn't hurt yet,
but it would. She could feel the
pain creeping-creeping-
The room was black when she
opened her eyes. She was lying
on the floor. She dragged herself

In Dolly's Apartment, Randy

UNITED FRONT in
HEALTH CAMPAIGN
State Commissioner EN-
phi a sizes Need of
! Agencies Cooperating

The establishment of united
front against disease and i'll health
by close cooperation of all agencies
was urged today by Stanley H. Os-
born, M. D., commissioner of health
in the weekly broadcast Of the State
Department of Health. Public health
is not only Of local interest to the
individual community but it may be
Of direct concern to many towns
in the state when an insanitary con-
dition or communicable disease &C.
ours, Doctor Osborn said. While
many public health services are
rendered by the state to most towns,
it was pointed out that in all these
activities the state department of
health works through the town
health officer since he is charged
by law with the local responsibility
Cooperation Needed
We know, DR.. Osborn continued
that we cannot maintain healthy
state without the cooperation of all
town health officers and their work
is accomplished best when they
work closely with the state depart
ment of health. When local Official
and voluntary health agencies work
closely with the town health Off
Ger, his work and theirs is made
much easier.
Even If the health organization in
each town does its work thoroughly
certain public health activities must
be rendered by the state rather than
by the local community, DR.. Osborn
explained. Laboratory service, oc-
cupational disease control measures,
mental hygiene services and sanitary
engineering advice can be supplied
best only through the larger or
sanitation. This body also serves
as q collecting agency for vital sta
tistics and publishes weekly, MONTH
" and yearly reports giving infor-
nation to health workers all over
the state.
Well-Rounded Program
Doctor Osborn called attention to
the fact that many Connecticut
towns do not have full-time health
offIcers to direct a well-rounded
health program nor adequate facil-
ities available locally for the public
health nursing follow-up of expect
ant mothers, Of infants and young
children. Under such circumstances
when these towns request help from
the state department Of health such
a.d can be given. Complete investi-
cations necessary in some OF the
more serious diseases are carried
osIt well child conferences are es-
fablished and public health nursing
services are given until such time
IS the community is ready to assume
these phases Of the health program

In The Local Iheaters
STATE

The walls at Warner Bros. State
theater rocked with laughter yester-
day as capacity audiences complete
ly laughed themselves out while
viewing Warner Bros. new comedy
hit, ION Your Toes" starring zoring,
Eddie Albert and a giant cast of
funmakerS.
The picture will continue at the
State through Saturday evening, so
those OF you. who want to forget
about elections, war scares and so
forth will enjoy yourselves i'm
mensely if you visit the State and
see this hilarious comedy.
It Is Zorina, of course, who stands
out above all the others in the cast
and that is main because she brings
to the screen the loneliness and
grace that made her a hit in the
London stage presentation of ION
Your Toes, and an equally big hit
on the New York statge last sea-
son in II Married an Angel In
this new film she dances again, dis
closing a quaint and winning charm
as an actress.
Adapted from the successful stage
play of the same name, the film
adheres fairly closely to the plot
of the original, and again we have
the funny spectacle of bewildered
American youth who by an amusing
sequence of accidents, finds himself
the male star Of a Russian ballet
troupe, and we see how this all
works out triumphantly when the
Russians are inveigled into produce
ing a "jazz ballet" based on an Am
erican theme.
There are two big ballet numbers
in the film. The first, 1.-THE Prin-
cess zenobia,' and the second
Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, a
sensational jitterbug ballet.
Prominent in the supporting cast
are Alan Hale, Frank McHugh,
Gloria Dickson, Donald O'Connor,
Eric Rhodes and others.
Nancy Drew and the Hidden
Staircase, another in the exciting
adventure series, is the second big
hit Of the program. Bonita Granville
is again seen as the girl detective
and Frankie Thomas and John Litel
head the supporting cast.
The new show opening on Sunday
at the State will be headlined by
the new uncensored version of "All
Quiet on the Western Front. Make
a date to see it.

|ASCAP PROTECTS
SONG COMPOSER
Writer of Popular Numbers
Claims Radio Kills "Hits"
After Six Weeks

From the glamorous Broadway Of
1901 to the modern movies and radio
programs of today, Frederick ".
Bowers, song writer for more than
40 years, reviewed the development
Of the song writing business at the
weekly luncheon meeting of the Wa
terbury Lions club at The Elton this
noon.
Starting with musical ramblings
on the piano, the New York COM
poser played and sang many of his
own hits and then described the Or
ganization and purpose of the Am
erican Society of Composers, Au-
thors and Publishers, commonly
known as ASCAP. He said it was
an organization to prevent the ex-
ploitation of creative musical work.
Among the hit popular music he
played were the following: I'm
Looking for a Sweetheart" which
first appeared in 1901; shine on
Harvest Moon" I'm Yankee Doc
die Dandy" and IF You Knew
Susie"
Speaking of his own creations,
Mr.. Bowers termed Because I Love
You" his greatest song. Discussing
intimately many of the great stars
of today and yesterday, many of
whom he said he knew personally,
he also told of the memorial num-
Der he wrote for Will Rogers, a
man who opened the show" when
he (Bowers) was the oheadliner.
In former years the guest speaker
said, popular songs sold more copies
and were played longer than the
tunes of today. He said that three
million copies of his own song "Be-
cause" were sold and each year even
now, additional copies are sold all
over the globe. Some songs live
forever and frequently enjoy a sud-
den rush of popularity, only to sink
again for another few years.
Speaking of IASCAP, Mr.. Bowers
explained that the need for such an
organization had sprung up when
songs began to be played not so
much by sheet music but more by
radio and monographs and hits
lasted six weeks and not six years.
He was introduced by the president
of the club, William o. Taylor. 8

STRAND


One hundred and thirty-five wo-
men, with nothing on their minds
but men, arrived at Warner Bros.
Strand theater yesterday in the all
star production "The Women"
which will continue to show at that
popular theater until the final per-
Torrance Saturday evening.
The cast is headed by Norma
Shearer, Joan Crawford and Rosa
lind Russell and is unusual In that
1t brings to the screen the most
brilliant feminine cast ever as
sembled In Hollywood.
It Is also unusual in that its
premise presents one of the strong
est love stories to come out Of cine
maland in months, and yet never
showing before the camera the
masculine objects of the various wo-
mems affections. The film may well
be nominated as the most unusual
production of any year. 1t Is decid-
edly top entertainment from any
angle with sharp, snappy dialogue
and thrilling situations.
Miss Shearer gives an excellent
and sympathetic portrayal of the
woman whose home Is wrecked

But even on the Western Front,
France is using a Customer reported
to have / Ia inch arnor of a Sec
ret alloy that virtually is anti-tank
gun proof.
Our own newest tanks have
thickened armor, and embody other
lessons Of the war in Spain. They
are as good as any in the world
and better than most-according to
leading German authority.
The quality of the newest models
is fine but the quantity-well, when
present orders are filled, we shall
have fewer than a thousand tanks
That is about fifth the strength
of Germany, a sixth that of Russia
fourth that of France.
In the light of the Lightning
War, some observers think Congress
will be asked for more money for
mechanization which, to the Army
means tanks and armored cars.
Trucks and other motor vehicles
mean "motorization" which we
are also deficient.
TO BUILD OUR
ANTI-TANK DEFENSE
Mechanization advocates say it is
not too expensive. The whole 1926
light tank order will cost 100000
which would buy few more than six
Flying Fortress" air bombers. A
tank costs from $4,000 to $40 600 to
make, and the whole or our present
carburetor cavalry costs 500 mile
to ride. Pretty cheap to win war
in three weeks!
OF course, the Lightning War
showed Poland weak in anti-tank
defense, and so are we. We are try
ing to change that, and during the
last few days at Fort Meade, Mr.,
1000 troops have been experiment.
ing with a new yest-pocket anti
tank mine weighing ten pounds
which, hidden In tall grass, shat
tiers tank-treads. Also, they have
been experimenting with anti-tank
guns-50-calibre machine guns that
pierce half-inch armor at 700 yards
and newer 37-millimetre guns.
But of our heaviest anti-tank
weapon, the rs, only 500 are being
modernized. The new los is still ex-
perimental. So are some other
things in our anti-tank defense, but
they are being speeded up.
Nobody can be blind to a Light
ming War.
