The Kensington Fraternal Bowling league, will hold its annual banquet this evening at 8 o'clock at Grange hall, Farmington avenue, About 100 are expected to attend. Following the custom of other banquets held by the bowling league, no main speaker will be engaged but different members of the teams, probably the captains of the teams, will give short address. (A program of entertainment which will include several instrumental and vocal se- lections will be rendered during the dinner. The league has completed one of the most successful seasons in its history, meeting every Friday eve- ning with few exceptiona during tho ‘past winter and early spring. Con- siderable rivalry exists between the teams included in the league and the race has provided much interest for both members and the many local residents who made the weekly pilgrimage to New Britaln to watch the duck pin artists at their games. Juvenile Minstrels The Jolly Good Catholic Boys’ and Girls' club yesterday afternoon pre- sented the first juvenile minstrels to take place in this town at Fraternal hall, Kensington. The audience, largely composed of school children, greeted the offerings of the young troupe with enthusiasm and the show was stopped several times for encores. The presentation was given as a benefit for the St. Paul parish playground fund and will be repeat- ed Friday evening at 8:30 o'clock for the grown-ups of the community. The show opened with Kathleen McCormick, known to her friends as Pansy, singing the popular song hit, “Crazy Words, Crazy Tune.” Al- though the number has been played and sung by almost everyone in the musical world, the Kensington youngster put it over with an ap- peal that had been missed by many other professional performers. The opening was well recelved and warmed up the audience into a high pitch of enthusiasm. Margaret Orsie and Doris Baretta followed with a rendition of “We Were Just Two Sailor’s Sweethearts” which received its share of the ap- plause. “Bridget O'Flynn" by Thomas McCormick, followed and provided plenty of amusement. Helen McQueenie, Kensington premiere juvenile dancer, followed with a song and dance number, “Black Bottom.” Here again the Juvenile troupe rang the bell with an almost perfect rendition of the intricate dance from the Southland. Helen was called upon to shuffle through the number many times be- for the applauding audience let her 0. = Constance Lardner and Willlam Bighanitti followed with a little English ballad, fy Pretty Mald,” which was neatly executed. A tab- Jeaux, consisting of “Over the Hill," ‘Cposs Our Hearts Mother and Dad,’ *2-Q-T-H-E-B and E-A-T-H-E-B* and “Darling ¥ Am Growing Old,” included Columbine Marine, Alveria Corvi, Francis McKeon, Rose Derito and Kashimir Pijor, aside from the six boys and six girls who acted the “M-O-T-H-E-R and F-A-T-H-E-R" number. Sambo, played by James Sullivan, came next with “It's a Good Thing Cows Don't Fly” which brought | down the house. Little Miss Wen- droski next gave “Give Me a Little | Kiss” followed by a Charleston | dance which brought much applause from the audience. “Oh Susanna" by Jemima—alias M. Zipadelli, fol- | lowed her dance and was in turn followed by “Farmer Gray” by Walter Pajor. Bones—Raymond | Malarney—sang ‘“Where'd Ya Get! Those Eyes?” and the performance clored with “A Lot of Favorite Songs” by the entire cast. End men included Kathleen Mc- Cormick, Mary Zipadelll, Raymond Malarney and James Sullivan. Clean-Up Day ‘The annual spring clean-up be- gan early this morning regardless of the threatening weather, trucks are being used and it thought that the work will be com- pleted this afternoon, thus doing away with the necessity of a clean- up tomorrow.

(THIS 13-TAP DAY ' FOR YALE JUNIORS Sixty Men Will Be Honored by Frat Membership New Haven, May 19 (A—Rain has no terrors for Yalo college juniors who have looked forward to ‘“tap™ day, and the class gathering under the low branching tree of the campus close by Battel chapel. This is “tap day” when 60 men of the junior class in college will be taken out by the four senior societies —Skull and Bones, Scroll and Key, Wolf’'s head, and Elihu. The impor- tance of the distinction ranks in the order given and in the selections of cach 15 men the first and fifteenth itapped are acclaimed as having re- |celved the highest honors. Horoscopes were many In college teday, and the makers of them found it an absorbing pastime to argue in support of their respective lists. These lists followed about the general makeup and most of them had C. T. Bingham, son of United States Senator Hiram Bing- ham slated for Bones as fifteenth man, Formerly the ceremony on the campus was open to all but now the portals are closed and only students and faculty members are supposed to be present. The juniors gathered under the trees while the audience enclosed them. In the old days every dormi- tory window was filled with specta- tors, among whom young women, guests of the students, shone with brilliancy of raiment and the pleasantry of smiles. Many a fair spectator got a round of applause from the walting throng. At the stroke of five on Battel chapel bell, the first man was tapped, and sent to his room by bee-line as near as possible. The last man was taken out at the stroke of six. There were cheers for the lucky ones and heart aches for many who did not reach the goal of ambition. New Dry Dept. Branch Chief Not Yet Named Washington, May 19 (UP)—An- ticipated announcement of appoint- ment of Dr. J. M. Doran, St. Paul, the prohibition bureau’s technical division chief, as prohibition com- missioner, was deferred today. Premature publication of the treasury department’s intention to given Doran the place, now held temporarily by the Anti-Saloon League candidate, Roy A. Haynes, Ohio, was said to have caused the postponement of the actual an- nouncement. Secretary of Treasury Mellon stated Doran was seriously considered for the post, but declin- ed comment on reports that Haynes would be virtually dismissed from the service. Some saw i the treasury’s defer- ment a possible desire to avoid con- flict with the Anti-Saloon League's executive committce, meeting here for important political discussion today. The eyes of a frog when exposed to the light of a candle, generate an eclectric current that can be meas- ured by a galvanometer.
