MRS.JOHNSON PREFERS
 DOGS TO POLICEMEN

Telling a police officer that a. dog has more right in the street than himself requires some nerve. Such a statement was made yes terday, by a Park avenue woman formerly head of the ''vice squad,'' but now of the Second precinct.
 According to the story told at police headquarters this morn ing, it seems that Lieutenant Bar ton was driving his luxurious au- tomobile down Park avenue yes terday noon, and upon reaching the corner of Atlantic street had the misfortune of striking a dog. Mrs. Johnson, of "255 Park ave- nue, owner of the canine. wit messed the accident, and running out into the street grasped the dog and carried him into the house.
 Lieutenant Barton, always act ing the gallant, left his machine and knocked at Mrs. Johnson'S door, hoping to get a record of the accident and also to apologize for the 1nishap. Mrs. Johnson an- Swered the knock, and in no un- certain language informed the po- Hceman that the dog had more right in the street than he. The door was promptly slammed shut before the officer could frame a reply. Lieutenant Barton report ed the accident to the Traffic bu-, reau.

City's Head Apparently Fla vors Much of c. of c. Pro- gram and Is Willing to Go Even Farther to See That Children In the Public Schools Get Their Share

It was said about the City hall to- day that Mayor Clifford B. Wilson will discuss the school problem to- night for the benefit of the common council, and it was whispered upon good authority that he will agree that the school system of Bridgeport needs improvement. He will, it is said, ac- cept the conclusions drawn from the Chamber of Commerce survey as sub- stantially correct and quite in accord ance with the conditions which his own Investigations have disclosed. : It is said that in his recommenda- tlons to the council he will even go beyond the remedies proposed in the; survey and will show that. the educa- tional methods of Bridgeport need l modernizing. The mayor is not. however, in favor, apparently, of the so-called Gary system, which has a1- ways been more or less the center of battle, wherever it has been install ed, because it completely revolution izes teaching methods and does it all at once.
 It seems that the mayors attention cation periods in the schools, to be small number of which the schools are operated in a year, and to the small number of hours which they are used in a day. If the rumor at the city hall is correct, he will pro- pose changes in the system which will permit a more intensive use of 1t without imposing very much increas- ed uses upon the teaching force.
 The mayor, apparently has a de- fense. He has, his friends say. truthfully, again and again, in many messages, asserted that the Board of Education is too far removed from all authority including the mayors, that it is old fogy, dilatory, and se- cret. A sort of debating society, which has resolved itself into three or four cliques, each clique in charge of some branch of the work.
 Whether or not the mayor in his message refers to these facts, he has repeatedly sought a more centralized and responsible method of school ad- ministration. If he renews his rec concentrations for change at the top he will be continuing a policy which he began in the first or second term of his administration.
 The politicians had supposed that the mayors answer to the Chamber of Commerce attack upon the school system would be a sharp accusation of 'meddling."
 That agrees substantially with the Chamber and with the men and wo1n- en who are agitating for better schools, will be regarded as showing that he has cut himself off from the so-cal1ed political influence, and that he is prepared, in school matters, to take his direction from informed pub- lie opinion.

 It is believed that there will be no contest on the floor over the election of Ralph T. Beers as president of the board, and Charles Ross as page. These are the men who received the endorsement of the caucus last week.
 There is a possibility of a fight on the floor over the adoption of the rules, one of which gives the mayor the right to name the standing com nlittees of the board. It is said that the mayor is using this power to get votes for his pet projsct of extending g Broad street.
 Unless all signs fail there will be lively contest between those for and those against the Broad street exten- sion and the leaders of each side are very confident of victory.
 The mayor insists that the project should be put through.
 John A. Leonard, chairman of the Republican town committee, said this morning:
 s'It would be g. crime to put the Broad street project through tonight. The Republican town committee is on record against it and it should be killed"
 City Clerk Robinson is strongly op- posed to extending Broad street and is using his influence with the alder men.
 It is expected that thF FChamber of Commerce will be strongly represent ed at the meeting and will do all in it's power to prevent favorable action on the veto.

Turns
 Cold Shoulder On Argentina
(Intcrnational News Service Staff
 COrreSDOndent)


 Geneva, Dec 6-The assembly of the League of Nations today turned a cold shoulder to Argentina and made no outward efforts to retain the South American republic, in the League of Nations. A note was ad- dressed to the Argentina delegation in behalf of the assembly by Preside ent Hyman, expressing regret over Ar gentina's departure but the assembly failed to make any attempt to meet Argentina's demand. Honorio Pueyr- redon, head of the Argentina delega- tion, explained that Argentina was withdrawing from the League under Article 26, of the Covenant. The big developments 0f the day were:-
 Argent 'oposals for imme- diate admissi, : all recognized na- tions referred to a committee which will not report until 1921.
 2-The Canadian amendment elim- mating Article Ten from the cove nant, referred to committee which will report next year.
 3-Assembly adopted a committee report making the council the su- preme power in the league.
 Former Premier Viviani was invit- ed to draw up a reply to the Argen- tina note, opposing Argentina's de- mands, but he refused. evidently on instructions from Paris. This indi- cated that the French government took the view that the United States supports the attitude of Argentina and France does not want to oppose the American viewpoint.

The weeks receipts and the weekly pay roll were in the safe at that time.

In order to apprehend the person responsible, the police selected a telephone oper- ator at headquarters to go to the church and leave her pocketbook in a seat while she was at the altar The plan worked. and the Hartman wo- man was arrested as she left the church with the Npocketbook Marked bills contained in the pocketbook clinched the evidence.

FOREIGN SNAILS

Although Slow, Tiny Crea-

Although The slowest Of moving
creatures, the lowly snail gets there
In more ways than one. Its latest
destination, according 10 the Federal
Public Health Service, Is the human
organism In which at times and under
certain conditions IL causes no end OF
trouble. This is especially true Of the
imported snail, regarded by epicur-
cans a delightful morsel when prop
erly prepared.
Information has reached Federal
medical heads that the forefgn snails
as we'll as other members Of the mol
lusk family, are responsible for the
spread Of exotic trematOde diseases.
A worm or parasite harbored by these
mollusks causes the trouble.
To determine the responsibility OF
the snail family, the SurgeOn-G General
has instructed DR.. Warren Hoax. OF
the Public Health Service. at the
Custom House, TO visit local wholesale
and retail acquariums and bird stores
and ascertain the extent Of such i'm
