Noted Writers Debate Mer- it's of Prohibition, Which
 Shaw Defends.

London, March 13 Beer is the bone of contention in a battle or nard Shaw and G. K. Chesterton in the British press
 con the whole I am a pro-Pussy- foot" declared George Bernard Shaw opposed prohibition. "If natural choice between drunkenness ana sobriety were possible in our civ1liza- ton, I should leave the people uree to choose. But when l see an enor- nous capitalist organization pushing drink under peoples noses at every corner and pocketing the price whilst leaving me and others to pay the colossal damages then am prepared to smash that organization and make it as easy for poor man to be sober if he wants to as 1t is for his dog"
 This statement caused G. K Ches- terton to rise in his wrath. ''What Mr. Shaw has to say is exactly typical of the whole blunder about those things retorted Chesterton. He actually mentions the truth and then
 Tired Brains Blamed.
 The evils from which people suf- fer spring from the fundamental evil that property. which should be nor mai to the ordinary citizen. has be- come something which a few people possess and most people don't.
 When peoples brains are tired as they are now, 1t Is very much easier to look at the symptoms than at the cause They saga therefore. that if we abolish the public house a lot or those evils would not occur; just as when the evil has become so bad that people go out. they soon may. with bricks and stones and kill other people, it may be said that if we were to abolish bricks and stones there would be no riots.
 "When people, are not in the mood for going to the roots of things they then exclaim:"Cut off all these ugly bra nches.'
 For that matter it would be easy enought to represent that the capital ist is not all on the side of beer.

The cornerstone of the hospital was laid with solemn ceremony on Nov. 8. 1903, and on June 22, 1905. the hospital was formally thrown open to the public for sinsp ection under the guidance of it's first Superioress, Sis ter Laura.

The first to join this band was Miss Catherine C o,,Go5G osHeiIa sister of sI Mr was the first graduate. But she also has that enviable honor of being the first to enter the ranks of the Sisters ofs Charity, under the name of Sister Catherine"; where she now follows the work, not only of Florence Night ingale, but also that of the Poor despised Pea sant of Galilee,'' Christ, who came to heal the sick to wipe fever from the brow of the 1eper and to annu1 the power of death. Others were soon to follow in her wake. Amongst those to throw off the uni form of the nurse and to take on the gartb of the Sister of Charity were Miss Eva Bousquet of Waterbury, Conn.,, Miss Elizabeth Johnson of Stamford; Miss Loretta Muldoon of Bridgeport; Miss Elizabeth Carroll of Ridgef1eld, and Miss Anna Coffee of Bridgeport. The example of. these noble women has been engraven so strongly on the minds of the nurses, who have come after them, that it is readily seen in the sympathetic care that they daily render to the sick and the dying.
 Sister Remi the present superioress, has issued invitations to afl the clergy doctors, to graduate and undergrad uate nurses; to the Ladies of Charity, who have ever been sos ready to aid in whatever little way they could. the work of the Sisters and nurses
 A very cordial invitation is also ex- tended to the public in general tha. they may see and learn for them selves the good that is being done for the sick and suffering of Bridgeport.

 For the first time in modern his tory an expedition has gone out in an effort to capture the live descendant of a plesiosaurus, recently reported to have been seen near the Andes Mountains, in the Territory of Chubut. The expedition, financed by wealthy scientists of Argentina, is headed by Jose Ctnagi, Superintendent of the Buenos Aires Geological Gardens, and Emelio Frey, an Argentine engineer. The animal, last reported to have been seen by an Englishman, is said to be cross between a dip1odocus and a p1esiosaurus, pictures of which are here shown.
 Prof Clement Onel1i, Director of the Buenos Aires Geological Gardens does not believe that the strange animal reported to have been seen has lived continually since the Plesfo- saurian era He places credence, how ever. in the probability that a des- cendant of the prehistoric monster exists. retaining the fundamental characteristics of it's predecessors.

WALL LSTREET
HOPEFUL FOR
The FUTURE
This Year Will Put Nation
to Greater Test, Finance
Leaders Believe.

New York, Jan. 2.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press )-Wall street views the
passing of 1921 with few regrets but
looks hopefully to the future, al
though realizing that the new year
VIII put the country to even greater
test OF its resources and stability.
Leaders of industry and finance en-
phasize their belief that return to nor
NAL conditions cannot be accom- plish-
ed until everybody settles down to
earnest work, economy and saving.
For the most part, however, those
who hold the purse strings and con-
troll the country's important industrial
enterprises believe that the United
States is destined TO grow as a world
power.
This belief is largely founded on the
fact that Europe is leaning more
heavily upon. this market. All foreign
nations, it is pointed out, look to the
United States as almost the only mar
ket for the capital needed to effect the
rehabilitation of the old world.
The latest case in point is that OF
the Dutch government. which only
yesterday awarded s40,000,000 or for
ty per cent of new loan TO our
! bankers, the proceeds to be used in its
far, eastern colonies.
Forecast of general business condi.
tiOns in 1922 are unusually difficult In
the opinion of conservative observers
because of the many uncertainties
which beset the era Of readjustmen,
and reconstruction.
