cent higher than the previous month and an equally favorable comparison is noted over the same month last year. Building construc- tion has maintained a progressive lead over the previous year and work estimated at a cost of $2O0, 900 was begun during the month. This brings the total for the eight months of this year above the vol- tune for the whole of 1889.
 TorringtOn
 Since the first of the year, nearly every factory in Torrington has in- creased its working force and pros- poets for the future continue bright. A shortage of practically every type of factory help exists.
 The apparent migration of appli- cantS into. this territory continues principally from New York MasSa- chusetts, Vermont and Pennsyl- vania. A majority from the latter are from coal mining districts.
 The trade school was slated to graduate its first elementary class September and second class was scheduled to start September g. One clock company started an appren- ticesfip course of ten for automatic screw machine workers due to hetir inability to get operators locally.
 Bristol
 Practically every type of industry increased activity here dlIxing Aug ust. The metal industries are active and the clock and sporting goods plants, increasing seasonally, are calling back employees who were laid of during the dull season.
 Prospects for the new months ap- pear bright. The largest employer in the community has granted g general wage increase, effective Oc- tober l. Negotiations are underway in at least two other companies.

The outlook for Connecticut for the fall months is exceptionally good, judged by the monthly reports of tie managers of the eighteen Un- employment Compensation division field offices, State Labor Commis- sdoner Cornelius J. Danaher all- nounced today. In all but g few sections increased activity got un- derWay in August and was reflected by increased employment, increased payrolls and decreases in initial ur1- employment compensation claims
 Already the effects of the national defense program are being felt in some areas and in other areas, cone taining industries which will benefit by government orders, the increased activity is anticipated within the next two months.
 Increases were noted in Bridge uort. Norwalk, New Haven, Ansonia, Waterbury, Danbury, Meriden, Hart ford. New Britain, Bristol, Torring- ton, and slight increase in the Norwich area. Conditions failed to pick up or improve to any great ex- tent in the Stamford, Middletown, Thompsonville, New London and Willimantic areas. Business in the Danielson section was reported as being normal for this time of the year.
 There continues a demand for skilled and semi-Skilled workers and the results of training and retratIi- ing programs are most favorable.
 The reports of the managers fol- low:
 Waterbury
 Business conditions affecting the labor market continue to improve and a further increase in the total number of persons employed in the area is anticipated following the trend which began an upward swing in July. All classes of labor are af- fected and the shortage of skilled machine trades workers is becoming more pronounced. The upward swing is particularly noted in such industries as brass goods, clocks and watches and rubber goods.
 Claims for unemployment com pensation showed a steady decline throughout the month ending with a reduction of g per cent as com pared with July.

Great Waltz Returning as
 Capitol Show
Johann Strauss Music Will Again Be Heard Here
 for Two Nights

Johann Strauss music, master piece waltzes and marches are the feature entertainment and show manship qualities in "The Great Waltz" which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre in a return en- gagement.
 There are other values that es- tablish the film as a fine audience attraction, but wherever beautiful music is understood and appreci- ated, exploitation of the Strauss compositions should take prece- fence over every other value.
 For names the picture presents Luise Rainer, Fernand Gravel, and the noted European opera singer Miliza Korjus as principals. Their work is supplemented by that of Hugh Herbert, Lionel Atwill Kurt Bois, Leonid Kinskey, Herbert Bing, Alma Kruger, Henry Hull and Christian Rub. Whether known or not to picture audiences, Miss Kor- jus should make a memorable inn preSsion. Her singing is probably the most cultured heard in films.
 A career story, The Great Walz" not only details the circumstances and conditions which inspired Strauss great music but relates heart warming love story. Married to Poldi Vogelhuber, Strauss soon finds his own life almost hopeless ly tangled in that of operatic star Carla Donner. Loving Poldi, his infatuation for Carla carries him to great heights. The price paid for this is Poldi's sacrifice of her own happiness. While vocal group presents his famous songs, the dra- matic content builds to its tensest moment, at the time of the greatest triumph of Strauss and Carla. Then while his broken hearted wife. would take herself out of her hus- bands life, Carla, the other and more worldly wise woman, realiz- ing the tragedy such separation would yoke, exiles herself. Strauss tribute. to her memory is The Blue Danube" waltz.

being perhaps the greatest pitcher
we have ever looked at.
LET me tell You about this kid.
You hear all about his fast ball and
his curve ball--you'll find the ball
players will talk more about his
curve ball than his fast ball because
that's what he strikes them out with
in the clutch--but you don't hear
much about how hard he works to
improve himself. And that, If you
ask me, is the greatest asset he
has-or that any ball player has.
He Practices Bunting
Here's one detail: I rounded all
the pitchers up one day and talked
to them about bunting. I don't
mean fielding hunts. I mean doing
the bunting themselves.
When I send you up there to
sacrifice said, what do you do?
Most Of the time you bunt the ball
right back to the pitcher for force
play or you pop the ball in the air.
Anybody can learn to hunt if he'll
only give a little time to it. And
remember this: You're working for
yourself when you're at the plate
just as much as you are when you
