 Dr. Brown today again appealed to the nurses to register at the Board of Health rooms in the Welfare build ing and help do what they can to stop the suffering.
 Last night a special meeting of the Board of Health was held at which it was decided that a special appro- priation would be asked from the ap- portionment board to help the de- partment fight the epidemic which is threatening the city. The exact amount has not as yet been determin- ed.
 The figures obtained this noon from the board shows that the number of cases in the city is steadily mounting every day and it would appear that a real epidemic, though milder than last year. is here.

CHARLES JAMES FOX

It is on record that Charles James Fox played deep play, in 1772, for 72 consecutive hours at Whites, and lost L11,O00.
 On this date, in 1797, at a dinner complimentary to Charles James Fox, the host-the Duke of Norfolk-1ift- ed toast: "Our Sovereign's healthI The majesty of the Peop1er" For the second clause of this Toast his name was struck off the list of privy coun- cillors. It was highly dangerous in those days to talk of "the majesty of the people,
 Charles James Fox, orator and statesman, was born in 1s49. The portrait of the man, painted by Rey- holds, in 1778, shows the man of pie sure, rotundity, much abdomen, sleek cheeks, good 1iving-and forcefuI. In l768 he entered the House of Com mons. In 1773 he was appointed a lord treasurer. In 1T79 he was wound ed in duel by MT. Adam.
 Those were the days of the Court of George III, days imm ediately pre- ceding the Regency. They were the days of great gentlemen, great in de- bate, great in courage Gas William Pitt standing out against the House of Commons regarding unjust taxa tion of the American Colonfes) great in love, reckless in deep play. The famous mbling-clubs of the day were Whites, founded in the middle of the 18th century; Brooke's; Crock ford's. Gentlemen of distinguished d name in the kingdom played all night, and all the next day, and through feverish hours of the second day, their valets attending them, to loosen their neckerchiefs, or to bring them bumpers of wine.
 In 17S0, Charles James Fox led the opposition in the House And the man into whose burning eyes he looked? Richard Brinsly Sheridan
 In 17S7, London society received a shock. Charles James Fox was duped by the Prince of Wales (afterwards George IV.) and renounced his ac- quaintance with him. The all night banquets at Carleton House saw no more the puffy form of Fox at the board where sat Sheridan, Walter Scott, Beau Brummel1, and the nota- bles of a notable era.
 It was at one of these banquets at Carleton House that the author of the Waverly Novels acknowledged his identity. Walter Scott was sitting at the right of the Prince. 'The first Gentleman in Europe''-the Prince of Wales, notorious, 'tis true, in pro- fligacy, and who lifted a toast as no other gentleman in Europe-had brought the conversation up to the point of expectancy that was ainosv painful from it's tense interest. There had been a furore in the United King dom around those s@Waverly Novels. And with charming modesty the gen. tleman sitting at the right of the Prince bowed his head in affirmation to the question that the host put Straight to him. And the Prince himself, one foot on the table (stand- ing on his chair) lifted the toast to the author of "Guy Mannering,' Redgauntlet,'' and all the list of imna aortaI output.

 Action by the House Ways and Means Committee on MT. Glass re- quest for authority to make the loans is expected in a few days. The sec retary and other treasury officials ap- peared yesterday before the Republi- can steering committee to. explain the necessity for the loan and to discuss the American financial situation geE- eral1y.
 Resolutions supporting a loan to the European countries have been adopted by the board of directors Of the United States Chamber of Com merce and it was announced today that the member organizations had been asked to adopt similar reso1u- tions and to commit their action to their senatorial representatives.

 HAS BAD EF FECT
 IN LABOR MARKET

Paris, Jan. 28-Repatriation of German prisoners may bring about a critical situation in the labor mar ket in some parts of France, accord ing to an Amiens despatch. Work of restoration of devastated districts will be retarded, it is said, and farm CTS, who have been employing large numbers of Germans, fear they will not be able to show a large acreage this spring. Efforts have been made to replace the Germans who have returned to their native land, but re- ports state that few applicants for work have made their appearance.

COAL CONTAIN
 MADE BIC GAINS
 IN LAST 2 YEARS
(Continued from Page One.)

In the two year periad, 1914-1s15, he said, the Consolidation Coal Company had net profits amounting to approx imately s4, 500, 900; in 1917-191s, the net profits weer approximately SIS, ,50O,OOO
 Further Bittner cited statistics which he said were obtained from the tseasury department and financial re- ports showing that 335 mining compa- nies in 1917 made 15 per cent on their capital stock; S11 made 20 per cent; 295 made 25 per cent; 270 made 30 percent; 232 made 40 percent or more; 197, 50 percent or more; 150, 100 percent or more; and eight com panies made over 1000 percent.
 Regardless of all increases he said, mine labor was receiving today fewer cents out of every dollar paid to op- orators for coal than they got in 1913 and 1914.

CITY ITSELF IS
 SLOW CLEANING
 OWN SIDEWALKS
(continued from Page one1

The crosswalks throughout the center of the city are rapidly ap- preaching decent shape and gangs of men were busy this morning cleaning up the slush piles in various spots.
 It has been suggested by several prominent business and professional men that g. system similar to that used in New York be adopted here-using the high pressure hydrant to clean the streets after snow fall. Under this plan the manholes of the streets are opened during the night and fire hoses attached to the hydrants, the force of the water generally being strong enough to wash away what ever snow does not melt.
 An arrangement like this. it is thought by many, especially in the center of the city, would keep the streets in good condition without ad- ding materially to the expense.

PARENTS WILL GET AWARD ON
 DEATH OF SON
eccntinued from Page one.)


 He was earning $21.s9 a week at the time and if the parents had been entirely dependent and had been citi- zens of this country, they would be entitled to SIP weeks compensation of not more than half his weekly wage.
 The liability for compensation was unquesuL oned but the commissioner says in the award that 'tIt is difficult to secure direct evidence of what de- gree of dependency existed at the time of the accident, and that after considering the case at length and consulting with the attorneys the commissioner feels that the payment of 312 weeks compensation at the rate of $4 a week was without dis count was fair, just and equitable.
 The company had already paid $100 for funeral expenses.

Bridgeport. Ct, Jan. 27. 1920.

Bridgeport. Ct, Jan. 27. 1920. To Editor of Times:
 Sip-It is with great amusement to read about the city officials issuing warrants about cleaning off the walks. What about the streets, gutters. etc. The High school alley has not been cleaned this winter. One has to hang on to pickets all winter to prevent falling on the ice, and today wade through water ankle deep. Perhaps it's a slush fund. Set an example and clean their own first.
 Respectfully,
 J. Lampman.
