The wet forces will have some re- cruits as a result of the recent pro- hibition referenda in elght states, but the drys still hold the prepon- derance of numbers in both the House and Senate and are certain that they can flatten out any at- tempts at modification. Leaders of the wets concede that ence the drys can bring their pro- | posals to a vote they can win, but with crowded calendars at a three months’ session of Congress they in- sist they have the number§ neces- sary to talk the administration pro- | posals to death, As Congress assembles it faces | nearly a score of wet and dry meas- At Christmas time no hap- _pier selection can be made than a Waterman Combina- tion Set, Pen and Pencil. $4.00 to $8.50 The Dickinson Drug Company 169-%71 MAIN STREET vmm&m | ures, with the administration press- |y ¢« NEW BRITAIN'DA'ILY HERALD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1926. their farewell exchanges on subject as both retire trom Cougrm in March.

Many of the slides which illustrat- ed Ris talk weré prefared from paintings, the central figures of which were plastic models made by Mr. Knight. The lecturer gaid that he had had to study not only the anatomy of animals li. his work, hut also the psycholo which controiled their actions. "he anatomies of the horge and the tiger are the same, but their p.ychology is different. To partiali understand the fosil types, a study of the living forms was neccssary, Mr Knight added, continuing that to accurtely portray the former thg palcontologist had to work back fror: the present. Bome types, such as the shark and certain specles of lizards. had come down through the ages. while others such as the dinosaurs and flying rep- tiles, had become extinct. His lec- ture, he said, attempted to show in a general sequence some of the more interesting types which had prevail- ed through tie years.
