First payment was mads at the court. 1t is the hope of the court|- that the couple can get together in the meantime, the trouble being that Mrs. Busky was unable to get along with her husband’s parents, who lived with them on the farm. She would live with him. He had offered to live across the way from the farmhouse in a much smaller house but Mrs. Busky did not like the place. The parents are to be asked to take the smaller house and a settlement be made.

CONNECTICUT WILL SHARE IN NURSE SCHOLARSHIPS Approximately $10,000 is set aside by the American Red Cross, of which Con- necticut is to have its proportionate share, for nurse scholarships to be award- ed to the successful applicants who wish to take the .eight months' training for ‘which the scholarship provides. This was the announcement made by Miss Mar- garet K. Stack, director of child hygiene and\ public health nursing of the state department of health. The maximum scholarship is $600, but as some nurses do not need or wish, thx full amount partial scholarships are also awarded. The scholarships are open to all registered nurses, preference being goven to those who have some education and are in good physical health. Those who apply agree to take the eight months of training as provided in the scholarshifs and then agree to take a_ position as public health nurse fof at least one year. There is a great scarcity of public health nu#ses in this state and it is hoped that the scholarships will in- duce many applicants to come forward. Connecticut’s share of the scholarship fund will be determined when it is known how many successful applicants have ap- plied. The training will be begun in Octo- ber in New Haven.

He was born in 1736 and at the age of 10 crowned king. He was later sent to England where he re- ceived a common school education and on his return to his tribe brought wius of its fittings notably the hinges and latches for the doors which are as per- fect today as when the house was bu.t. The sunburst cupboard in the prlor was brought from England by King!

He received his education in the public schools and entered the employ of the Milton Bradley company as an oilice boy upon the completion of his school- ing.

In his statement he says: “A thousand times would I prefer to be & congressman than governor of Rhode Isiand.” Rhode Island has beea awarded the distinetion of having the name of one of her most prominent women, Miss Caro- line Hazard, of Peace Dale, former president of Wellesley college, amnng those early leaders to seel: membership in the Cox-Roosevelt Independent league, newly-formed political organization.

H. B. Warner's compelling ability as a finished actor is displayed to full advan- tage in One Hour Before Dawn, a screen P adaptation of Mansfield Scott’s novel, Be- hind Red Curtains.

Gleason & Block's The Rainbow Girl is announced for an engagement at. the Davis theatre Wednesday evening, Sept. 1st. The Rainbow Girl is billed as the most perfect musical comedy of the past five seasons. It is said to be o because of the careful attention which has been giv- en to detail. While there are twenty odd members who appear in principal charac- ter parts, the chorus is said to be the finest vocally and physically that can be assembled. The chorus is a detail often overlooked. Thus assisted by an ensem- ble that consing and dance, Ramsey De Mar, Julie Eastman, Johniile Jordan and Gene Carlson -- execute terpsichorean manoeuvres which are a joy. With it all there is a strict conservation of costum- ing so that Nature's alluring charms are not hidden under a bushel basket. This chorus also contributes to the su- perior work of Katherine Shaw, who sings the prima donna role, and George Lydecker, who sings the male lead, and Sam Sidman and Frank Farrington, who are the leading funmakers. Thus' the chorus in this case, severally and col- lectively, hecomes an important factor. The Rainbow Girl is originally the work of Jerome K. Jerome. The book was written by Rennold Wolf and music by Louis A. Hirsch. These ' gentlemen also wrote the lines and music for Zieg- feld Follies, the latter .also having written the music for Going Up. The scenery was painted by Joseph Urban. Seat sale today at 10 a. m. Laugh and the world laughs with yeu;’ growi and the world laughs at you 3
