Many years ago in the vicinity of
Joy there was what was called, in
those days a mad dog scare" The
PEOPLE at that period did not talk
OF rabies-we doubt, if many knew,
as today, what is the meaning of
real rabies. One day, at the old JOY
school house while the children
were playing, man driving his
wagon, followed by bushy tailed
dog, was seen coming up the road,
A little boy screamed mad dog =
Every little boy climbed a bush un-
til the bushes were full Of boys,
their heads at the top of the bushes
The little girls had no bush to climb
as the bushes were occupied by the
boys. But they know how to run,
and they ran with their little skirts
whipping around their ankles. The
man and dog pursued their course
calmly, and without molesting any
one. The point is this: That little
boy was not frightened, but he
wanted the thrill of being frighten
ed, and wanted to frighten his play
mates This spirit has, in some de
gree been continued during all
these years. During the lifetime OF
this correspondent the mad dog
scare has come every eight or ten
years as regular as measles, mumps
scarlet fever or any of the con-
tagious diseases. We try to keep in
formed on current events, yet we
know of no one who has lost his
life from rabies. We hear, some
times of someone far away being
bitten by dog and dying, but thai
person could have had some malig
nant disease before being bitten
Fear is something deplorable, whef
reason has left the human being
and fear reigns.

STRAND

If you intend to see the fine bill currently at Warner Bros. Strand theater you'll have to hurry as per- formances tomorrow evening con- clude its engagement. Spotlight ing the bill is James Cagney in his latest hit "The Oklahoma Kid" with Rosemary Lane, Humphrey Bogart and Donald Crisp in support; also the laff and love picture "Zaza", starring Claudette Colbert with Her. bert Marshall and a host of ither funsters.
 Ranking as one of the most pre- tentious screen spectacles of recent years is the big thrill film "Gunga Din", which comes to the popular Strand on Wednesday for a four-day engagement.
 Victor McLaglen, Cary Grant and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., are starred in the chief roles, marking the first time they have been teamed togeth- CT.
 They are seen as three comrade sergeants whose adventures form the basis of the stirring screen yer sion of the famous ballad by Rud- yard Kipling.
 Included on the same show as the co-feature will be Twelve Crowded Hours" with Richard Dix and Lucille Ball in the co-starring leads.

POLl'S

One of the gayest Broadway vaudeville shows will make its Wa terbury debut Wednesday night at g D. m. from the stage of the Loew- Poli Theater.
 Included on this weeks program are such headline stars as the 3 Cards, tops in comedy; Luby and Harris, radios most popular song sters; Louise & Mitchell, dance team supreme; Edwin George with his bits of nonsense, and to complete the bill are those Music Hall Favorites, the Vernons.
 That matchless sleuth, Sherlock Holmes will be brought to vivid life on the screen of the Loew-Poli The ater tomorrow night by the distin- guished Basil Rathbone, who shares top billing with Richard Greene and Wendy Barrie in the thrilling pro- duction, "The Hound of the Basker- villes."
 Here is an almost uncanny astute piece of casting-Rathbone simply is Sherlock Holmes.
 The classic, one of literature's most shocking spine chilling mys- tery stories, has been transferred to celluloid with thrilling realism.
 For background the picture has perfectly reproduced the misty, fog shrouded moor in England's Devon shire country, where fiendish, ghostly hound is believed to wander,

STATE

Today marks your last opportunity to see Deanna Durbin in Three Smart Girls Grow Up" with Nan Grey, Helen Parrish and Charlie Winninger; also Henry Fonda and Maureen O'Sullivan in Let Us Live currently at Warmers State theater.
 Tomorrow the State ushers in an- other of its outstanding Init shows with John Garfield, probably the most impressive newcomer to the screen of the past year, being starred in the headliner "BlackWells Island".
 Incidentally this marks Garfields third motion picture. He first made his screen appearance in the un- forgettable Four Daughters" and this was closely followed by his brilliant performance in the recent They Made Me Criminal. His sterling performances in both suc- cesses have, in the opinion of critics, placed him among the screen great est actors. .u
 Starred in the leading feminine role AOlC OppOolIC odI11CIO Lo 11O OtAICA than Rosemary Lane, lovely favorite who rose to stardom this year. Miss Lane as you remember also appeared to good advantage in -Four Daugh- terS".
 The situation on which the film is based is familiar to newspaper readers of this vicinity, for the 1884 cleanup of the New York city jail on what is now known as Welfare Island disclosed an amazing tale of "big shot" prisoners running the jail to suit themselves, living in luxury and coming and going as they pleased.
 Garfield is seen in the role of a reporter who gets fired from his pa- per at the virtual order of a local political boss, who is the man behind a vicious mob of racketeers headed by Stanley Fields, who is said to have the best role of his career. In addition, the impressive cast includes such favorites as Victor Jory, Dick Purcell, Morgan Conway, Granville Bates and Anthony Aver

leaving a terrifying traIl of horror and chilling the blood of the coun- tryside with its unearthly howls.
 On Dartmoor's edge stands the gloomy old Baskerville mansion, to which young Sir Henry Baskerville (Richard Greene) has come from Canada to claim his inheritance. Preoccupied with his whirlwind TO- nance with his pretty neighbor Beryl Stapleton, (Wendy Barrie) Sir Henry laughs at the stories about the hound, until series of ne-tingling developments take place, with the famous Sherlock Holmes entering the case.
 On the same program is another smash hit, Adventure in Sahara" with Paul Kelly.
 Attractions ending their engage ment this evening include Jeanette Mcdonald, Queen or the Screen in Broadway Serenade" with Lew Ayres, and on the same program Society Lawyer" with Virginia Bruce, Walter Pidgeon and Leo Car rillo.

Use More Live Fuel To PrOlOng Your Youth

T am more and more impressed with the part played by overeating in inducing arteriosclerosis," wrote Dr. Osler, back in the gay nineties. Excess in eating does more dam- age than excess in drinking" he be- lieved. 'sThe platter kills more than the sword."' Ben Franklin (Poor Richard), Robert Burton (Anatomy of Melancholy and several other distinguished old timers got off similar cracks about digging ones grave with ones teeth. To tell the truth have perpetrated few my self. But all that was the wisdom or the concensus of opinion in the days before the development of the science of nutrition. Today we know better. Newer knowledge, acquired mainly from animal experimenta- ton and tested or proved by appli- cation to man, reveals that en- pirical ideas concerning the harm done by overeating were only casts in the right direction, though not adequate to account for the dam age to health.
 Stated as briefly as possible, over- eating eating too much, too hur- riedly, gulping food down insuff1- ciently masticated or unmasticated, washing morsels down with drink, eating when not hungry or just be- cause it is eating time or because the food is offered or to please or fiatter your hostess, or topping of Asofv, xv,StIH irn e11- perfiuous dessert because the des- sert is part of the meal, impairs health not from overlooking the system or putting a strain on the organs or on the arteries, but from lutritional deficiency! I mean just what I say. Expressed in another way the trouble is that the diet is not well balanced, the specific fault being generally insufficient intake of vitamins and mineral in propor- tion with the pure carbohydrate, fat or protein. Of course the main reason for this unbalance is arti- ficial purification or refinement of food.
 For instance plain wheat is rich in vitamin B complex and a good source of phosphorus and a fair source of calcium and iron. But after refinement into white flour it is virtually dead fuel-an excellent floor for calories, energy, warmth, but of little more value in nutri- tion than cornstarch, candy or sugar. We know that vitamin B is essential for the metabolism or nor nal utilization of carbohydrate it is especially important in the diet of the individual with diabetes or pre-diabetes. The custom of re- moving most of the vitamin B from wheat in the refining process must be regarded as serious factor of malnutrition.
 Consider also the enormous con- sumption of sugar in the United States-over 100 pounds per capita per year at present. That means the average individual must derive about 500 calories day from sugar which is from one-fourth to one fifth of the total energy requirement and hence a proportionate di- minution in the intake of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron and vi- tamins. Thus it is not merely the excess of nutriment taken, the bur- den or strain on the vital organs which overeating entails, but the nutritional deficiency from habituul shortage of the clements men ;s0ned, that does the harm.

WOMAN,S REALM
GIOrfing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA 6GEVlCe 0tah VvAAeCA
 Six months ago you had an ex- cuse for not changing your coihure. You were weary of your long bob. but you just couldn't see yourself with your hair up. So you left 1t long and felt apologetic every time you saw 8 woman who had dared to make a change and was wearing an upswept and pretending to lKe IL whether it was fiattering to her or not. However, the picture has changed considerably. Now there are several smartly new, accepted hair styles from which to pick and choose. Be- lieving that it's still the most be- coming arrangement for you, per- sonally, is the only excuse you have for going on with your long bob. The chignon has been revived. And if you want to play lady and make believe that you have long hair again, by all means get a chignon and pin it to your hair at the back. You can have a neat bun arrangement ant. pin it low, of course. Or a softer, loosely-twisted chignon which covers the back ot your head as well as the nape Of your neck. If you have clung to your long hair through the years, this is your season. If the chignon continues to be popular, thousands of women will let their hair grow again-you can safely bet on that.
 New Baby COiffure"
 The short bob is news, too. This doesn't mean that shingled heads are finding favor, but simply that 8 short bob looks newer than long one. The hair is cut to reveal the shape of the head at the back, then dressed at the natural hairline in- stead of low on the neck.
 The baby coiffure is the most widely discussed at the moment. For this, the hair is cut until not hair. on the head is more than two inches long. After the cutting, new permanent is in order. Then the short ends are curled. After ward, the hair is brushed upward all the way around and finished in soft rtngletS.
 The upswept still is seen. Some times it is brushed smoothly up- ward from the neckline and oc- casionally 1t is done in French twist which holds the hair firm ly in place at the back.
 The long bob has by no means disappeared. However, even in Hol- lywood, it's not as long as it was three months ago. And it always is lifted up and away from the tenn ples.
 The up-and-down Is the perfect hairdo for the woman who likes her hair up and away from her face so that her forehead and ears show, but who likes also the idea of softness behind ears and on the Ineckline. Curls are piled high on top of the head with the back ends rolled up, then brushed out. Thus, the best features of the upswept and the long bob are retained.

East's hand was a regular picture gallery, hence his double of three no trump contract can hardly be criticized, though it resulted disas- trously for him.
 The bidding was both tricky and optimistic. South raised the hearts to make it difficult for West to re- spond. North, whose hand was by no means bad, hoped to put East out on a limb by his no trump bid. South's raise to three no trump was sheer speculation, and East doubled in the expectation of reaping a rich reward.
 The first trick was won with the diamond jack in declarer's hand. Only seven tricks could be counted, and the problem was to make East's wealth serve the cause of North and South.
 The jack of clubs was won by East's ace and the diamond king
