white with snow, and so does Lafay

there are also stretches of snow. Bu

ness and growingness.

Boston transacts larger proportion
Of its regular business on the sidewalk
--the Nomad will wager--than any
other large city in the country. The
reason is plain--virtually all Boston is
down town" every day for its bust
ness; the downtown section is pecul-
iarly concentrated, and everybody is
out on the same restricted area Of
streets. IL you go out, you meet a
dozen people you know; and if there
is anything pending, you stop and dis
cuss it on the sidewalk. 1t saves a
visit and a telephone call. Looking
down on Washington street from this
window, you can see three or four per-
sonal or business dialogues going on
at any time. II contributes to conges-
ton, but it saves individual time.
School street is probably worse in that
regard than any other street, for
Parker's and Young's are close by,
and the little street is an avenue down
toward the postofiice and the financial
and Office building section. 1t is pos
sble that this variety Of sidewalk con-
ference should be restricted little,
for the general convenience. Yet it is
hard to say how that could be accom-
plished. When the sidewalk is mar
row, it is public inconvenience to
nave il completely blocked up by men
Who are making some kind of a gentle
mans agreement affecting the price Of
stocks or the participation of New
England capital in a project for organ
zing the saidn-lime brick resources Of
.ae republic of Bolivia, However, the
guarantees the right of
public assembly. Probably we shall
ave to submit to it.-"The Nomad"

Japanese Steamer
 Seeks Protection
 From U-Boat Attack

New York, July PA wireless message to the state department at Washington from the Japanese steam ship Korea asking protection from German submarines, was, overheard and reported today by officers of steamships arriving at this port. The message. they said. asked. protection for the American officers and en- gineers who were on board the Korea to take her through the Panama Cam al to San Francisco where she will be turned over to a Japanese crew.
 The Korea, an American steamship formerly belonging to the Interna- tional Mercantile Marine Co.,, was sold recently to the Toyo Risen Kaisha of Japan. She sailed from New York Sunday with the Japanese ensign at her stem. It is believed that the captain of the Korea was alarmed by reports last Sunday that German sub- marines were near the coast escorting the under sea trader Bremen.

SQUAD OF RESERVES AT
 POLICE STATION
Men in Turn Will Be Called Upon to, Serve Extra
 Eight Hours.

A reserve squad of four members of the police department to be sta stioned at headquarters for eight hours previous to doing patrol duty was formed today and Superintendent J. on patrol duty will be called upon to do reserve duty in turn.
 The room for the reserve squad has been fitted up on the third floor of the police building in the room formerly used by the board of health as,a dental clinic. Four beds have been placed in the room and will be occupied for three shifts day.
 The idea of holding some of the men in reserve has been contemplated for some time but the need of the force has been doubly shown since poliomyelitis has appeared here and regular policemen have been taken from patrol duty and placed at pri- vate dwellings to enforce quarantine.
 By the arrangement now in effect six men always will be in reserve. Since the recent addition of new pa trolmen, two men have been kept in reserve and with the four others, 1t is believed that the force will be large enough to cope with any emergency that may karise and preclude the ne- cessity of calling the regular patrol men from the beats.
 In order to have the full number of men on patrol duty, two men from the First precinct and one each from the Second and Third precincts will report at headquarters with the platoon which precedes theirs on duty. They will go to the reserve room and re- main there until called upon to act in case of necessity.
 As the beds have been placed in the room, the men may sleep there if they wish. The beds will probably be oc- cupied for the thIe ee shifts as are many in ,reoming houses.
 The original intention was to have the men do reserve duty after re- turning from patrol but the superin- tendent and the commissioners believ- ed that they would be too tired in case a sudden call came in before some sleep, Sc it was decided to have them do the reserve duty first.
 The room for the emergency hos pital night decter has been changed and instead of being on the second floor will be adjoining the reserve room. The alterations to the building which have been decided upon by the commissioners will be started in the near future. President J. c. Stanley stated today that he would be unable to state definitely when they would start

 Dr. Abraham Sophian consulted plans today for municipal pasteur-; tzation plant. He said Mayor Wilson already has tentative plans, submitted by the health board, which will be placed before the common council at the next meeting.
 General pasteurization is a thing that will take a long while to work out, according to Dr. Sophian. Ba said that in the meantime. the cdty' will be protected ss well as a-s spossi- ble under the circumstances, by grad ing milk. The use of Grade A milk will be encouraged. Grade A milk will be from non-tubercular cows. produced under the most sanitary cdr- !cumstances, and having a low bacte- rial count, besides containing all those elements necessary to whole-i some milk A meeting of milk dealers and pro- ducens was held yesterday afternoon in the city hall, and the health board ohcials conferred with them. The sit-. pation was made clearer to the milk men. Professor Judkins of Storrs-Ae- ricultural school has promised Dr. Sol phian his co-operation in the effort to stamp out fnfant1le paralysis here. Dr. Sophian explained today it is
 his belief that municipal pasteuriza- ton plant is the solution of the milk problem. Small dealers, he said, are desirable and advantageous to a com- munity like Bridgeport and he said everything shoud be done to encour-l age them in providing wholesome milk. They should be allowed to have their
 product pasteurized at a small cost. he declared.
 The milk inspectors. he said, must
 be men who not only know their busi- ness but are capable and willing to, assist the small dealer in improving the quality of milk They must not
