Hoppy Jones, and Charlie Fuqua. Their show is genuine razzle -daz- gle, zip-bang, shouting, war-whoOp- ing frenzed fiesta that leads you to believe, for the time at least. that the whole town has gone "whoopee' and that there's nothing left but to have publication.
 The Four Ink Spots are fast in their methods, with little restraint at any time. Perhaps they hold to the theory that it would be dan gerous to start at such a lively pace and pause for so much as 8 minute. Happy Jones rhythmically SlapS his ceilo which he plays like 8 bass and Charlie Kuqua Strums like lightning on his guitar while Signors Kenny and Watson, strut, prance, grin and shout out "vo-do- deo-do."
 The quartet made their debut several years ago on Cincinnati radio station. In 1885, they toured with Jack Hylton and broke box of- flee records in England. Since re- turning to this country, they have been starred on several outstanding program on the NEG networks.
 But it wasn't until the Decca Re- cording Company released their version of If I Didn't Care" that the boys really clicked.

of bridge to be built. Because of this. extensive tests were carried out to determine in greater detail all fac- tors bearing on the problem.
 When the bulk of this information had been developed, the state high way department engaged the bridge engineering firm of Parsons, Klapp, Brinkerhof & Douglas of New York city as consuitants. This made pos sible an outside check-I1p and mutual confederation of each phase of the work.
 Following this, intense activity marked the job throughout the summer and early fall. More bor- ingS were made and other prelim- mary engineering work was carried on. Although the general design of the bridge began to take shape, 1t was not until the first of November that all problems were cleared up enough to permit beginning final plans.
 This stage of the work was carried on at an accelerated rate with prac- tically the entire bridge design sec- tion of the State Highway depart ment engaged in the task. By this means, and the generous use of overtime, it was possible to pick up some of the time that had been consumed in the extra amount of preliminary work made necessary by the condition of the river bed.
 The new structure will be high level fixed bridge with it's west abut- ment on the west side of Williams street and near Main street in New London. The east abutment and the toll plaza will be in the vicinity of Riverview avenue, Groton.
 It is proposed to make through connection from the New London end to Golden Spur on US Route 1 as well as the necessary local con- nections with New London streets. Similar provision will be made at the Groton end for the disposition of local and through traffic.
 The bridge is planned for four lanes with a capacity of 5000 ve- hicleS an hour.

Hartford, Nov. Overcoming a series of natural obstacles that de- layed design work, the state highway department has about completed its plans and specifications for the New London -Groton bridge over the Thomes river. State Highway Com missioner William J. Cox, acting as agent of the bridge commission, will advertise for bids on the new struc- tllre the first of the month. These will be opened later in the month.
 The outstanding problems causing delay were created by the extremely variable characteristics found in the bed of the Thames. All of these vari- ationS had to be determined before the final engineering work could be undertaken. Traffic problems and property costs also received exten- eive consideration.
 Surveys of traffic showed about 6,00O.000 vehicles year using the present bridge. The origin and des- tination of the bulk of this traffic in- 04CoVGA t116U b44C 41CW bA4OSC oAAOAAA be located as closely as practicable to the existing crossing to give maxi mum service to the users.
 The rivers width of 1,500 feet at this point seemed advantageous, while on the other hand the built-up nature of the area where the ap- breaches will be built created prob- lems. While the property costs ex- ceed those at point further north, it was decided that the traffic con- ditions made the choice of the pres ent site mandatory.
 Detailed studies of this site were undertaken and checked against the previously known conditions at the nearby railroad bridge. Borings in the river bottom revealed that be- meath the forty feet of water there is bed of about 100 feet of silt and mud before rock is reached.
 Cost and location of deep water piers have decided effect upon span length, which in turn affects the type
