SAYS SIDEWALK
INSPECTOR IS
NOT DOING DUTY
Moran Says Aldermen Are Not
Called on to Jack Up
Property Owners.

THE city pays a. sidewalk inSpec-
tor SIS per week and it is not up to
to go out and tell property owners
what they should do declared Aid
er1nan William Moran at the meeting
OF the common council last night. AL
derman McFayden who was presiding
had suggested that each alderman call
the attention of the property owners
in his distcrict where sidewalks need
repairing and have the property own
er make the repairs.
Alderman Lewis had presented a
resolution that some sidewalks in
Wordin avenue be repaired by the city
and the cost charged against the
property owners by liens.
eff all the sidewalks which the al
dermen want repaired are n1ended by
the city it will keep $4,000 in con-
slant use all the time" objected AL
derman MacFayden. 1.-THE property
owners themselves should be- made to
make the repairs. There is a sec
ton of walk in Middle street in front
of the property of one of the richest
men in this city and it is not fit to
walk on. This man ought to be made
to make repairs. The aldermen in
each district ought to look after this
matter. of sidewalk repairs"
1--WE do" replied Alderman Mo-
ran t.buta the property owners don't.
If the sidewalk inspector was on his
job lit wouldn't be necessary for any
alderman to say anything
Alderman Lewis resolution was Ia
b1ed until the next meeting of the
council.
Mayor Wilson vetoed the finding of
the board of appraisal in granting ST.
900 land damages to John Clarkson
and other property owners in the lay
out of Gilman street from Fairfield
avenue to CORTLAND place. The
mayor said the city alone would lose
by the layout and all property own
ers were benefited. His veto was sus-
tanned by vote of % to l. Alderman
McHugh alone voting not to sustain
the veto.

YALE WILL NOT
KEEP TOM HOWARD
AS HOCKEY COACH


New. Haven, March At is reported
in Yale athletic circles that Tom How
ard will not return next season to
coach the hockey team. For several
seasons Yale has stood for Towards
methods of coaching and the athletic
authorities, it is said, are willing to
make a change Judging from the
work of the Yalensians against Har-
ward, it was apparent that Howard
did not make the most of the material
he had at his disposal.
Howard has always been strong for
hard checking and playing the man
instead of the puck. Employing such
tactics. roughness Is sure to be prom
inent and the playing of the men suf-
fers as a result. There are several
coaches available. who would do. more
ito place YaIes hockey on a sounder
basis and at the same time help to de-
velop a winner something Yale has
not had in years.

ARCHITECTURE OF
JAPAN EXPLAINED

DR.. Warren Powers Laird head OF
the department of architecture of the
university of Pennsylvania, addressed
the members and. subscribers of the
Bridgeport Art League on japanese
Architecture yesterday afternoon in
the Hotel stratfeld. The speaker was
introduced by Warren R. Briggs, and
was welcomed with much applause by
the audience.
DR.. Laird said that he was about to
speak upon a subject, the very EXIST
ence of which had been absolutely de-
MED, the architecture of Japan. By
various interesting lantern slides, the
speaker proved that it not only exist
ed but was divided into several dis
tinct periods asswe1
He explained the strange and bizarre
appearance of the architecture of the
East to our eyes by the fact that in
every, way and thought these people
are the direct antithesis to u.s. To
these races our western civilization
appears just as strange and incon-
sistent.
The history Of japanese architecture
was carefully traced, many wonderful
and beautiful examples of 1t in the
way OF temples ana castles being
shown.
Among the most interesting slides
were those of the Japanese home,
which for simplicity OF ornamentation
and furnishing and for quiet refine
ment is probably not to be equa11ed in
any other country of the world. The
Japanese have attained the art of hav-
ing apparently nothing in their houses
without producing an Impression of
barrenness and cheer1essness.
In judging japanese architecture,
concluded the speaker, it must be re-
membered that it Is a unique style
since it is developed entirely of wood
en- structures and as such stands alone.

Clouded Windows.

Many people have a window or a
part of one which they would like bar
red to the too curious gaze of passers
by or, possibly, Of neighbOrs.
This can be managed by prettily
crystallizmg the window glass as fol
lows: Fill a jam pot one-third full OF
gum arabic and add little hot water.
Let this soak for some hours ana
when the gum has quite dissolved add
the same quantity Of EPSON salts.
Then stand the jam pot in a basin Of
hot water and stir well until the salt
has quite dissolved. Apply the. mix
ture to the glass quickly with camePs
hair brush.
The effect is like crystallized ground
glass, and, while light is admitted, no
one can see through it. The effect Of
plain ground glass Is obtained by using
a linen rag instead of brush and
putting the preparation ON thinly.-Ex-

Harvest Time In Shantung.

Now, come and see a harvest In
Shantung Here, too, 1t is the time OF
supreme interest to the whole family.
Life In the country is practically meas
ured by 50 many wheat haryests, and
every old man and woman hopes to
live to see one more, For weeks be-
fore all plans are made with reference
to it. Carpentry, masonry, work OF
every kind must either be finished be-
fore pulling wheat time" or laid aside
at that time to wait until the harvest
Is over No matter how important in
the eyes of a foreign resident the
work In hand may become, he cannot
beg or buy his workmen to continue
when once the wheat Is ripe. In the
hospitals all the patients want to get
well by wheat pulling time. Some
must stay on, but many one incapac-
itated in hand or foot for real work
goes home to take his or her place in
watching the gate" that all the rest
Of the family may go to the field and
thrashing floor.-Christian Herald.

Il Was a Nice Stone.

General Sir John Younghusband, the
well known writer on military sub
jects, was once cleverly yictimized by
some Indian natives. At a village
where he was encamping the dusky
inhabitants brought to his tent a num-
Der of sapphire-like stones which they
stated had been dug up at spot some
distance from the village. Sir John
was convinced that he had luckily hit
on a treasure mine. He bought every
stone the natives possessed.
II had dreams of boundless wealth" !"
said Sir John when relating the story,
land on my arrival at Calcutta l has
tened to have the stones valued.
Lovely color, light, perfect, not flaw,
worth 80 guineas apiece-if they were
not made of Birmingham paste? was
the experts crushing criticism. Lon

MOTOR APPARATUS
HAS BEEN ACCEPTED
Machine Measures Up to Every
Detail and is Now in Use
During the Day.

With the last endurance test OF
the new motor drawn fire apparatus
proving that the machine measures
up to every detail of the specifi-
cations, the apparatus has been ac-
cepted and is now in use during the
day. 1t will require few days
more before the machine will be per-
manently in service in Mcclellan
Engine Company's quarters as jan
itors and firemen are undergoing in
structions to learn to operate it.
The apparatus has been viewed by
fire officials from far and near and 1t
has been pronounced to be one OF
the best now in service anywhere in
the east Its capacity for pumping
is declared to be great and its en-
CINE is exceptionally powerful. Dur
ing the recent endurance test, con-
Quoted under the supervision of
Chairman John w. Kelly, of the fire
committee, the engine ran steadily
for five hours. 1t pumped steadily
for three hours and forty minutes
with anywhere from one to four
streams going at a time. The ma
chine maintained an average pres
sure of 100 pounds to the inch
throughout the test and at the end
of the trial it was found to be pump
ing $40 gallons a minute through
many sections of hose, which accord
ing to experts, proved that it could
pump 900 gallons minute, as pro-
vided for in specificat tions. Mr. Kelly
stated today that both the engine
and pump worked exceptionally well
and he is pleased with the apparatus.
He has conferred with officials of
other fire departments, who believe
as he does, in motorizing such de-
partments throughout. He has pre-
pared a form for use of firemen, to
enable the fire committee to deter
mine the exact cost of maintenance
of all fire apparatus. The firemen
must state the time of starting and
stopping of the engine, pump, etc,
and must give the number of gallons
of gasoline and oil used.
Among the visiting fire officials
who have viewed the new Boyd ap-
paratus here with satisfaction are:
George Pinfeld, Henry Carnslus,
J. A. Shannon and James R. Dunn, of
Railway; George Pickel, of Linden;
