LECTURES ON
 VITAL STATISTICS

Health Officer Dr. Walter H. Brown delivered a lecture before a. large audinece at the Health and Charities building, on vital statistics entitled The Bookkeeping of Ht- manity," giving a history of this part Of the work of the Health Depart ment, and of it's purpose.
 Vital statistics are not complex" said Dr. Brown, and every well in formed person should understand them" He stated that these statis- tics have to do with the chief events of life, namely, birth marriage and death
 Dr. Brown stated that in vital stat istics there has crept during the last decade or two the element of com municable diseases, this part of the vital stst-fstiCs is watched very closely by health departments, and kept un- der control as much as possible
 America is the only country" he continued, which has not govern ment control of vital statistics In other countries it is a federal offense not to report the health department new birth, or not to make proper regtstra ton Of death and marriage certificates. Connecticut, I am gla d to say, has realized the importance of such statistics, and in our city every doctor and midwife has learned to obey the law"
 Following the lecture of Dr. Brown, pr. Madeline Bixby, bacteriologist, who has charge of the detective bu- reau" of the local health department, gave a talk on the work of the lab oratory as applied to public health. Dr. Bixby gave demonstrations of all of the processes gone through for the city clinics and physicians.
 The lecture was the second of a series of 10, which will be delivered under the auspices of the Health De- partment for the nurses of Bridge port.

CHARGED
 WITH UNF HARNESS

Tokio, Feb. -(Correspondence of The Associated Press.) )-Japan is not obliged to return Kiauchau to China but is willing to do so on terms that will secure the peace of the East. says the Chugwai Shioyo (Journal of Commerce.) Commenting on the an nouncement by the Chinese peace delegates in New York that China would insist on the restitution of Xii auchau and the revision of commer- ciaI treaties with Japan, the paper says that as to the latter Japan Is willing to undertake the revision of the present treaties but that such step will have no practical value un- less China takes steps to restore inter nal harmony and control of the ban ditS.
 As to Japan's loans to China, the Chugwai Shiogyo assured the South China party that Japan would not hand over the balance of 20.000.000 yen loaned for China's participation in the war. the object of which the Southern Party has regarded as sus- picious. Japan's railway loans, the paper said, should be excepted be- ca use the railways are urgently need ed and if the loans were extended with proper care, they would not have any political signifiance.
 One of the claims of China at the Peace Conference is the return of auchau which was occupied by the Germans and, as a Germany colony, was captured by Japan early in the war. According to semi-official Chi nese sources in Picking, pressure was brought to bear by Japan to induce the Chinese government to disavow the action of it's delegates at the Peace Conference. The Chinese president was reported to have refused to inter fere with the Chinese peace delegation in Paris.

WEST END

Given every opportunity to display her dramatic gifts, Geraldine F'arrar In shadows, Goldwyn picture comes to the West End theatre to- night
 The story is simple in its funda- mentals and therefore strong in it's appeal. Miss Farrar is Muriel Barnes. happily married to a New York finan- cier. Devoted to their child, life seems to her to lack nothing. When Craft ley, stranger, seeks to gain her hus- band s support in a mining scheme she feels that the first cloud---or shadow---has appeared on her hori-. zou- And the man senses that Auriel IS familiar to him. He asks his part ner. Jack MeGoff. about the Alaskan girl he is always looking for her in her photograph Craftley sees the present Mrs. Barnes
 Acting on his wtfe's warning Barnes declines to invest in Craftley's scheme. Then the fellow telephones Muriel. calling her a name which reveals his knowledge of her past---and Alaska. She is ordered to persuade her bus- band to go into the deal at the peril or having him know of her now for gotten life. How MurieI extrica tes herself from this heartbreaking com phcation IS developed in the play.

Anniversary of the Worlds
 First Naval Battle

The first naval battle recorded in the worlds history was that between the Corinthians and the Corcyrans. fought Feb 28, 664. Corcyra, an island off the coast of Epirus, now called Corfu and belonging to Greece, had been settled by Corinthians, and for centuries owed allegiance to the mother city. In 664 B. c. the Cor cyrans declared their independence, and the Corinthians immediately pre- pared a fleet to reclaim their colony. Corcyra did not wait for the invaders to land upon her shore, but herself gathered a fleet and sent it out to meet the Corinthians. Then ensued the first battle on the seas, a, furious contest between crews of what were little better than big and rude row boats, from which the Corcyrans emerged the victors. The battle was waged off Cape Actiun, a, promontory in the north of Acarnania. From tEat time on sea battles were ire quent, and all of the petty States of Greece built navies. The enmities engendered by that first sea struggle resulted over two centuries later in the PeIOpOnneSian war

MINSTREL SHOW AND DANCE.

All the arrangements have been completed for the second annual min strel show and dance for the benefit of the Arcanum Triple Link club, which will be held in Odd Fellows hall on Broad street on Friday at S:30 D. m. It was feared earlier in the week that owing to the illness of several of the soloists that the show might have to be postponed but, for tunately they have either recovered or have found someone to take their places, and the event will be a big success. Taylor's orchestra has been engaged to play the show and dance
 Herbert s. Searles is the interlocu- tor and W. J. Barton and Thomas Watmough are the end men, support ed by a chorus of 20 male voices. The hall will be tastefuIly decorated for the occasion.
 New costumes, new songs and new jokes is the slogan for this show. and the whole-hearted enthusiasm shown by each member of the troupe and the regular attendance at rehearsals will certainly make this casion one well worth attending and reflect great credit on all who take part in it.

Behind THE FOOtIiQhts
LYRIC

Perhaps there are some who may be disappointed because the hero and heroine in the famous melodrama, of the northwest, "Pierre of the Plains, 9 now playing at the Lyric theatre, do not get married in the end, but there are none who were disappointed in the many thrills and exciting eli maxes.
 Clay Clement, as Pierre" the half breel gambler and alleged bad man. gains the friendship of all who hate him except the Royal Mounted Police to whom he is a constant menace Although Pierre has a reputation as bad man he is good at heart and shows his goodness only to those of whom he wishes to make friends He does not even take the trouble to re- flute the iblemIshes which are cast upon his reputation and continues in the even tenor of his way
 For next week the Poli Players have another record breaker in that re- markedly clever thtef-detectfve play, Alias, Jimmy Valentine" which will be the attraction at the popular fam fly playhouse. Alias, Jimmy Valen- tine" Is not a new play but it is one of those that will live forever and can be seen again and again with the same degree of enjoyment.

SLIGO ELECTIONS.

Dublin, Feb. 27-The recent elec- uons for Sligo Corporation were con- ducted under proportional represen- tation. In Sligo the Sim F'einers are in an overwhelming majority and under normal conditions virtually would have monopolized the Coun- ell. But the result of proportional representation was to divide up the membership, giving representation to minorities and actually returnIn4~ d UniOnist at the head of the poll. This experience has increased the activity of the Irish Proportional Represen- tauon Society which hopes to induce the government to have the principle extended to all Irish elections.

ID AID
 CRIPPLED MEN

New York. Feb. (Correspon- dence of The Associated Press. )- Officials of governmental agencies of seven nations and dominions will meet here from March IS to p to plan for the rehabilitation of disabled men, civilians as well as soldiers, and put them back on the payroll. The con- ference will be held under the aus pices of the Red Cross Institute for Crippled and Disabled Men.
 The authorities to be represented are the British Minister of Pensions, the French National Institute for War Cripples, the Belgian Military Insti- tute for Crippled Soldiers, the Italian Ministry of Pensions, the Canadian InvaHded Soldiers Commission, the Australian Department of Repatria- ton, and the Bureau of Re-education and Reconstruction of the American Red Cross in France. Individual or ganizations of other countries also will be represented
 Authorities in the United States who are expected to attend are representa- tives of the Federal Board of Noca- tional Education, which is providing for American disa bled soldiers train ing for self-support; the Division of Physical Reconstruction of the Office of the Surgeon-General of the army, which is providing restorative treat ment and education during the con- valescent period; the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, which furnishes arti- f1cial limbs to soldiers of the Aneri- can Expeditionary Force. and pays disability compensa ton; and the American Red Cross Department of Civilian Relief, which, through it's home service sections, provides so- cial after-care for disabled men To make disabled soldiers or civ iltans self-supporting rather than to permit them to lose initiative and lapse back upon the support of war pensions or workmen's compen- sation relief is one of the aims of the conference.
 Pointing out that many more men are disa bIed annually in industry than have been incap pacitated by military service, the authorities who have an interest in the cripple are planning to give the civilian the same relief@as the soldier.
