TO OPPOSE PROPOSED BILL
Chiropraetors To-Be Represented At
 Hearing and Fight To Finish

A vigorous fight against the enact ment of bill before the legislature that would put all practitioners of the art of healing under the control of an organization of medical doctors of the state was decided upon at meeting fl the chiropractors. They decided to appear at hearing soon to be held in Hartford before the legislative public health and safety committee on the bill, which is known as "An act con- corning the practice of Medicine"
 Opposition to the bill, which applies to osteopaths, dentists, optometrists chiropodists, midwives and nurses, as well as chiropractors, eenters in the fact that the laws under which these practitioners now operate would be entirely discarded and medical doctors would be given regulative control over all of these others.
 The bill calls for the state depart ment of health to appoint board of examiners before whom all applicants for the right to unlimited licenses for the practice of the healing arts must appear. This board is to determine the fitness of such applicants to re- ceive license. It is the makeup of this board that gals the practitioners who are making protest. The bill states that this board shall be com posed of four members of the Connec- sicut State Medical Society and tw members of the Connecticut Homeo- oathic Society, together with the stat health commissioner, himself a medi- cal man.
 Chiropractors in discussing the bil point out that the bill is unfair in tha if made law it will stifle progress i the science of healing which they rep resent. They contend that physician who have been schooled to combat dis ease with drugs must necessarily loo upon them as competitors since the healing science of the chiropractor founded upon theory that drugs ar not necessary. Chiropractors conten that they cannot get square deal IL a law that thus gives medical doctor so predominant a hold in determinin who shall practice healing and how. They plan to fight the bill to finish.

DIDN'T COUNT DRINKS
John Poulas and His Load Stopped
 Traffic On Main Street

"I don't bother to count the num- Der of drinks l take" said John Pou- las, wood chopper, to Judge Geissler in the city court Thursday morning. 1t would beSbetter for you to count your drinks than to get drunk, would n't it?" said Prosecutor Morse. John allowed that perhaps it would.
 When John got through with his axe Wednesday he came to Putnam. Up in the north end he met some men from Rhode Island whom he says gave him a drink out of bottle and then repeated.
 John was out in the middle of Main street with his load and it was such a big load that traffic was blocked for some time Captain Bulger got John into a wagon and holding him up with one hand drove the horse with the oth- CT. John began to make trouble and the captain let him take the reins and then drove up in style to the police station.
 A fine of $20 and costs was im- posed
