flocks the black designs in

And Hubbell will tell you that
the patient will get up and walk!

By this method, the taxpayer will be obliged to keep accurate records of inventories, receipts, manufacture and compromising of motor fuels. It also recognizes in the proposed leg islation that distributors do actual ly experience loss of gasoline by evaporation and to compensate them for such losses, it is proposed that a 1 per cent allowance of the gasoline actually handled be made for this purpose.
 Traffic Courts
 MT. Connor Is in favor that traf- fic courts should be set up in the state to handle motor vehicle law violations so that the disposition of such cases might be uniform, conse- quently creating a greater respect for the laws by motorists. Much criticism pours into the state de- partment of motor vehicles because of this inconsistency of courts which handle traffic violations.
 It seems that the procedure, the regulation and behavior of our pres ent courts and officials should, by statute, come under the supervision of the judges of our higher courts, the report adds
 The report urges that the. traff1ci problem should be handled by ex- perts, and that specialists must be placed in the enforcement and judi cial fields. This work is large enough and intricate enough to require spe- cial agencies to conduct it.
 Accident records have many uses beside their mere accumulation of statistics, the report explains. When properly used they show what the particular problem is, indicate poS- Sible methods of correction and prove either their effectiveness or ineffectivenes of the treatment to be followed. These records when eff cient serve many useful purposes as relating to legislation, traffic en- gineering, selective enforcement, practical education as disseminated in schools and organization and de- velop many pertinent information of value relative to general motor ve- hicle administration.
 Publicity Recognized
 The newspapers and radio assist ance came in for its share of con- mendation in the report for their generous cooperation. During the calendar year of 1889 the Safety Promotion department conducted nearly 1000 accident prevention talks on radio stations of the state.
 Newspapers used safety promo tional information which have prov ed invaluable publicity in educating the public to consider Safety First, and the public had gained immeas- urably from this material. Discus sion by representatives of the de- partment have also been carried on at meetings of business, industrial. social and fraternal groups during the period covered by the report.
 These personal contacts by the safety department with the general public are considered of great value. and the scope of the field work has shown in detailed reports to be wide and covered varied types of organ nations.

POLI'S

You can't mix a girl from the wrong side of the tracks and a poy from the Main Line.
 Around this theme is woven the striking drama of kitty Foyle' Ginger Rogers new vehicle taken from Christopher Morley's best selling novel.
 Telling the vivid romance of a little Irish girl in Philadelphia with a. youth from the Pennsylvania city's leading social group, the Main Line" the picture is said to be a stirring commentary on the lives of todayss white collar girls and their joys and sorrows.
 The story begins in 1929 when Kitty leaves business college and gets a short-lived job with the young socialite. Their acquaintance ripens into love and a nasty mar riage, but Kitty runs away and an- nuls it when she realizes she can't live his family;s kind of life. Un- forseen complications arise, and after making one sacrifice for the young mans sake and endeavor1ng to succeed in business, Kitty reaches a point at which she must decide between temporary happiness and permanent security.
 The decision, and the events leading up to it, form the gripping conclusion of the timely offering Dennis Morgan and James Craig have the masculine leads, and Edu- ardo Ciannelli. Gladys Cooper, Ern- est Cossart, Walter Kingsford and other well-known players have im- portant roles. Sam Wood directed
 On the same program is another smash hit, 'The Saint in Palm Springs, featuring George Sand CTS and WeI1dy Barrie.
 An extra added attraction is the exciting short, Christmas Under Fire.
 Coming soon to Loew's Poli is "Hudson's Bay" with Paul Muni ir his grandest characterization tc date.

STRAND

Ending this evening at the popu- lar Warner Bros. Strand theater is "Comrade X" co-starring Clark Gable and Hedy Lamar; also War ren William in "The Lone Wolf Keeps A Date.
 Mystery to the crash of cylnbalS, Spooks to the boom-boom of drums, murder to the tottle of trumpets! That's melodrama al la Kay Kyser, his band and the College of Musical Knowledge.
 That's You'll Find Out" the screens first mystery musical which comes to the screen at the Strand tomorrow afternoon with Kay Kyser in the leading role.
 The shuddersome portions of the films are provided by those thorough going williams, Peter Lorre, Boris Karlof and Bela Lugosi, who are seen as three diabolocal individuals engaged in the reprehenSible task of trying to murder a charming young lady so they can make a lot of money.
 Against this sinister scheme and its appropriate background of a gloomy old mansion stuffed with savage trophies and trick passage ways, is laid the tuneful story of Kay Kyser, 8 syncopating sleuth who comes to the mansion with his band to play for the heroine's birth day party and winds up unravelling the fiendieSh machinationS of the three bad men.
 Kyser himself proves as versatile arice as the frightened amateur as he is musical, and his perform detective who constantly stuInbleS into trouble is a gem of acting. The trio of horror stars also turn in perfect portrayals, and Dennis OKeefe and Helen Parrish in the romantic leads, Alma Kruger as the credulous aunt and Ginny Simms, Harry Rabbit. Ish Kabibble and Sully Mason of Kyser's group as well as the band itself, do excellent work in sustaining the thrills and laughs.
 On the same big show is a hilar- ious comedy Keeping Company" starring Frank Morgan with Ann Rutherford, John Shelton, Gene Lockhart and Virginia Weidler.

Connecticut's financial responsi- bility law should be extended to a point where every citizen would be compensated for injuries suffered as result of motor vehicle &C., cident through no fault of his own, is advocataed by Michael A. Connor Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, in the departments printed biennial report covering the fiscal periods from July l, 1938 to June 30, 1940.
 MT. Connor stated that he would ask consideration of a comprehen- Sive report submitted to the General Assembly in 1887 by temporary commission to study the financial responsibility act. This committee was then made up of Commissioner John A. Blackhall, Judge Frank P. McEvoy and Commissioner Michael A. Connor
 The report also states that the laws governing the speed limits in the state are confusing to motorists. MT. Connor believes that the vast majority of car operators are will ing to operate the automobiles at a reasonable speed. The law in speed limits should be absolute and with out qualifying phrases that make enforcement of the speed law de- pend upon argument rather than on the facts of the case.
 Traffic Regulation
 Uniformity in traffic regulations is urged through the state Traffic Commission so that regulations pre- vailing in one part of Connecticut will not conflict with the driving rules in some other portion of the state. .sss ..ese
 A recommendation for general revision Is anticipated during the present session of the General As- sembly to draft with the Motor Ve- hicle Commissioner and the Alt torney General, revision of the statutes so that motor vehicle laws would be codified and made correct in language and intent, instead of the laws which have been amended and added in a haphazard manner to meet changing conditions, and as a result leaving in the statute books some obsolete provisions in conflict.
