 He apparently walked about the city for several hours deliberating upon the act, and in some manner secured a quantity of muratic acid, commonly known as plumbers acid.
 His condition was first noticed on Bishop avenue, when he shouted to passersby that he was tired of life, and had taken muratic acid and was going to finish it all. Before he could accomplish his purposes of m meeting death beneath the wheels of the wagon he was rescued.

 In a new ruling the board elimi- mated overtime pay at the rate of time and a half for all work over an 8 hour day.
 However. in another ruling the rail- way workers gained a temporary ad1 vantage. The board, by indefinitely extending the operation of the na- tional agreements, which on April 14 it has directed should terminate Fri day, permits payment as at present until agreements between the en- ploying roads and their men are reached regarding the wage slashes.
 The extension of the order does not apply to these roads which have reached agreements with their work CTS

 point that it has expanded from the hospital and home into the factories, stores, public schools, boards of health and rural districts. The long hours of duty and the various menial tasks which nurses were once credited with performing, have been elimina- ted.
 The duties of student nurses in the training school of the Bridgeport hos pital are now limited to the actual studying of the care and treatment of patients. The scrubbing of floors care of the bed and other duties in and about the wards is done by an other grade of hospital attaches known as ward helpers, while other special duties are carried out by ward maids and ord derlieS.
 During the probationary period the hours of duty in the wards averages two or three hours daily, with the rest of the day taken up with class work The hours of duty of regular nurses in theoretical and practical work in the best hospitals today are between eight and nine hours daily.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
THE SIMS REPRIMAND.

F'roms the New York Tfrnes).
 The Sims incident ends in a man ner that is satisfactory to all who are really concerned, that is to say to the great body of the American people. to the Administration, and 70 the Admiral himself. He admits that that the reprimand was just, and he realizes that the Administration was embarrassed by his speech in London on June S. It is a fine thing to see an officer of such high spirit facing the consequences of an indis- cretion without wincing and in per feet good temper.
 No fault can be found with the reprimand by those who believe that what Admiral Sims said as a guest of the0EngIish- Speaking Union was essentially true, but that as a. distin- guished officer of the navy he should not have spoken upon that subject The Navy department is right when it insists upon ''the precedent and the propriety'' which forbfds a ser want of the Government to discuss po- Hdcal matters in a foreign count try. The tra.nsgression of the AdmAaI could not be passed over, and as it was his second slip the reprimand was inevitable. It may be regarded as too severe by those of his admir- CTS who think that he rendered a public service by speaking out, but they must not lose sight of the fact that nowhere in the official repri- mand is the matter of the AdrniraPs bold speech condemned That was a rock that Secretary Denby wariIy avoided. The American people do not approve of the Sim Fein pro paganda in this country, which Ad- miral Sims with righteous 1ndigna- uon attacked He is repr1manded for talking publicly about interna- donal politics in a foreign country and Secretary Denby makes no is- sue of what the Admiral said to his hosts. The incident is closed.

CRAIG WILL NOT
 MEET IRISH LEADER

(Continued from Page One) said he was consulting with such of the principal representative of our nation as are available" and added:
 Before replying more fully to your letter I am seeking conference with certain representatives of the political minority in this country
 In Gais reply to the Republican leaders invitation, Str James said:
 ''t is impossible for me to arrange any meeting. I have already ac- cepted the prime minister's invitation to the London conference.''
 Sir Robert Woods accepted De- Valera's invitation.
 The answer of Sir James Craig add ed that he would publish telegrams in order to obviate a misund erst aIyd ing in the press between a nam esake in the southern Irish parliament and himself. The theory advanced here is that DeVa1era's invitation to a con terence was really sent to Professor Sir James Craig of Dublin, but that, when his attention was drawn to the confusion in names, he decided to fly at higher game.
