ROY 6. ANDREWS WILL TALK HERE.
Pictures of Desert Life to Be Shown at End Church
 Forum Sunday

Perhaps Americas most distin- guiShed explorer is scheduled to lec- ture here in Waterbury at the Sec ond Church Forum on Sunday evening, January Is at 7:30 D. m. He is Roy Chapman Andrews whose ten years of exploration in the Gobi cesert of Mongolia constitute the most important work done during the last decade by the American Museum of Natural History, of which Dr. Andrews is director.
 He will present Sunday evening the high spots of his entire series of expeditions, a crosS-section of prehistoric and modern life, dram atized in amazing motion pictures. He has selected the best pictures from his more than 100000 feet of 35 m. m. film; the most interesting and spectacular discoveries and events. Dr. Andrews will show many beautiful pictures of desert life and the life of the Mongol men: he will tell the story of the camel caravan and its dreary march through the snow and winter, dodg- ing bandits and in constant danger, arriving at the rendezvous a thou and miles out in the desert. He will tell of the motor fleet, show ing remarkable pictures of travel ing by car through muddy waters, over mountains and thruogh desert sands. Also pictures of the expe- ditions' camp life and of the ter rible Mongolian sandstorms.
 Dr. Andrews is that rare indi- vidual who is combination of first-class scientist and a first-class entertainer and lecturer. His ap- pearance here at the Forum will be one of the outstanding events of the season.

"Not Distressed After Meals Now" Says Scovill Employee

Waterbury Citizen Eats and Enjoys
 Anything That Comes on the
 Table. Never Has Gas, Sourness,
 Acid Risings, or Cramps, and
 Gives His Thanks to VendOL
 Many symptoms denote an upset stomach, but none are more dis tressing than that gassy, sour, bloat- ed feeling which so often sends the sufferer running for dose of soda. People who suffer this way, when associated with constipation, should visit the Vendol Man at Apothe- carries Hall Co. without delay and learn what Vendol. the great Root, Herb and Alkaline medicine has done for dozens of people right here In town who have been troubled for years. MT. H. Normandin of 4l7 E.. Main St., Waterbury. found all this to be true, and now says:
 q know many a person is suffer- Ing today just as did short time ago. You see, I'd been bothered with sluggish and irregular elimina- tion for long time, and more re- gently just everything seemed to vo wrong. Worst of all, suffered almost daily with indigestion and pas after most every meal. This gas was often so painful that I'd lake soda for relief. Many a night I'd roll and toss, unable to sleep, and If I got over on my right side, felt ike I'd lost my breath. I'd often lift up hot, sour liquid that burned my throat.
 'Then, began taking Vendol, and his treatment gave wonderful re- aef from the constipation, then my

LEGISLATIVE NOTES

Introduced by Senator Anthony Rich, majority leader, the bill al- lowing the use of alternate jurors in protracted criminal trials will be supported by both Republicans and Democrats in the assembly. The statutes at present make no provision for the use of alternates.
 Senator Claude Badger of Vol colt was absent yesterday when the senate voted on the Demo- crats' resolution favOring Presi- dent RoOsevelt's request for an appropriation of $875,000.000 to continue the WPA. The two SO- cialists, after failing to have the question tabled, voted with the Democrats and the resolution was adopted, 1914. But in the strongly Republican house the matter was referred to a committee.
 Rep. Daniel Mahaney's five cent fare bill was the first meas ure he has introduced in the ses- sion. It would limit fares to five cents on trolleys and busses ia city limits, with three cents to te charged for transfers. Rep. Ma huney is expected to introduce several pieces of veterans legisla- tion during the current session.
 Though minor court judgeships have been extended to July l and appointments will not be consid- cred by the legislature till late in the session, they are on the prin- cipal subjects of conversation

about the capitol Scores of reso- lutions urging certain appoint ments are being prepared.
 The proposed juvenile court sys- tenn bill will come in for close scrutiny in the senate and house. Juvenile courts now operate in Fairfield and Windham counties, but the present legislature IS asked to set up a state-widn system.
 Lawyers are quite interested in bill introduced by Rep. Hugo Guastaferri, . lawyer himself. He proposes to limit the pTactice of states attorneys and their as- sistants, judges and their deputies, coroners and their assistants, nd members of their law firms from practicing under certain circum- stances, notably in courts where they hold official positions.

lars, on a single roll of the dice. l
dent think it is a crime. But it is
illegal. And where one finds so many
unsavory elements as are in New
York, games of chance are always
identified with the double-deal and
the double-cross.
There are more side games, poll
icy rackets, and lotteries, plus back
alley and penthouse crap games
today than Arnold Rothstein ever
thought about, and Rothstein was
King of the Gamblers until some
body shot him in the back early
che morning in a big New York
hotel Rothstein died laughing at
the cops who begged him to name
his assailant, and that shooting is
still in the ledger of Unfinished
Business" in police court. Officially
nobody knows who shot Rothstein,
but there are people who know
Rumors always spring up after
sny vague killing, and one Of those
clinging to the Rothstein case is
that it would be impossible to name
the actual killer because too many
people in high places would be in
volved Such exposure would under
mine public confidence and over
Halance any good that would come
from bringing one man to justice.
That, as l say, is sheer specula-
ton. You hear a hundred such tales
around the bars and the hack stands
But this is thought; most scandals
blow over in time. but the Rothstein
case, as topic of conversation, has
never died. You walk around town
and start talking with people, and
out of nowhere somebody suddenly
says Arnold Rothsteinl l wonder
who killed him" It isn't a question
You don't ask questions, like that.
1t is simply an involutary thought,
because that case has always intrig-
ued and has always held the fascin-
alton Of a secret adventure. When
you hear such detached query you
should always look closely at the
man who voices it and at everyone
leese present. because it is ten to
one the man talking has a bunch

EYEWITNESS OF
"S0ApY" Smith
DEATH IN TOWN
Mrs. Harrlei PulIen, First
Lady Of Alaska, Guest
al Baranof Hotel

And there was Soapy Smith
and Frank Reed, both dead, with
their guns smoking in their handsl"
Mrs. Harriet S. Pullen, one of the
NEST coiorful figures in Alaska's
history, who loves to recount the
story OF the death Of Alaska's bad
dest bad" man, was telling her ia
vorite story to friends today in the
Baranof Hotel.
Arriving on the Yukon yesterday
from her Skagway home where she
operates the Pullen House, Mrs.
Pullen plans to spend a few days
in Juneau. She is guest at the
Baranof Hotel.
1t is perhaps more 10 Mrs. Pull
lens credit than to any other per-
son in Alaska, that the colorful
history Of "Soapy'' Smith has re-
manned alive in Alaska to the i'm
mense entertainment of every tour
ist that visits Skagway and the
old stamping grounds of the notori-
Gus gambler racketeer.
Mrs. Pullen knew "Soapy' well,
and remembers with remarkable
clarity, the day that Skagway de-
cided to rid itself of Smiths iron
heel and mob rule-when Frank
Reed faced Soapy Smith and shot
him dead though he paid in return
with his own life, taken by the bull
lets of Soapy's ready guns, and how
the resi- of "Soapy's" gang was run
out of town to bring new peace
and new order to the booming
camp that used to be.
For those who have never heard
the story, first hand, ask Mrs. Pull
len to tell you. The story Is an
Alaska classic, and its buxom and
genial raconteur is Alaskas First
Lady" loved and remembered by
tourists from every corner of the
earth.

Jelly Fish
Yarns of
Hurricane
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
AP Science Editor

NEW YORK, March 20, Page
the jelly fish next time a tropical
hurricane threatens New England
and he will tell whether 1t is going
ashore.
Discovery of the jelly fish fore
cast is reported in the Progress Re-
ports of the fisheries Research
Board of Canada.
THE weather men," the report
states, will have to doff their hats
to the lowly jelly fish, for it was
Salpa, a jelly-like inyertebrate, and
not the weather man that fore
casted the hurricane that did SO
much damage on September 81. In
justice to the weather man, the
hurricane was just one OF those
storms which did not happen to
travel across the usual shipping
routes"
The facts are, the report ex-
plains, that for several days before
the hurricane jelly fish swarmed in
Halifax Harbor, a place where they
arc rare The immediate reason was
a rise of 10 to Is degrees in the
temperature of the harbor's uyu-
ally cold water--10 degrees at the
surface and Is degrees deeper down.
The water warmed because for
more than three days before the
hurricane, winds blew the warm
Atlantic Ocean waters shoreward.
1t is concluded that these water
conditions, and the jelly fish that
go with them, are good warning
CT a tropical hurricane in the
northern waters.
