Hibernians to Observe St. Patrick s Eve With Annual Dance But at Different Location.

A last minute change has been ne- cessitated in the arrangements for tie annual St. Patrick's ball of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and the affair will be held tomorrow night at the state armory on Arch street, in- stead of at Jester's hall. It was orig inally planned to hold the function at latter hall, but the automobile show interfered and it was necessary to change to the state armory.
 The general committee in charge of the ball consists of John Quinn, chairman: William McCune, Lawrence F. Mangan, Robert Murray, T. D. Donlon. John Pendergast, William Hickey, William Campbell, William Bass, Frank Hart, Cornelius Lynch, Thomas Glynn, William Fisher and John J. Mangan.

 Disturbed by Dry Agents

Philadelphia, March 15.-'Ladies day" in a turkish bath house was rudely interrupted by ten prohibition agents here when the officers raided the establishment in search of moon- shine.

Think ing, they said, that the attendant was trying to ''stall for time" they rushed the door. Shrieks and confusion fol- lowed.

CARS BADLY MARRIED
 BY WINTERS CLAWS|
Thousands Must Be Spent to Re pair Damage Supt. Beardsley Says

The severity of the storms of this past winter will cost the New Britain division of the Connecticut company thousands of dollars for the repair of rolling stock, damaged by passing automobiles and automobile trucks, the welding of tracks which have spread because of the cold, painting many trolley cars which have been scratched and marred and the repair of stretches of highway Is inches on either side of the. track, r. l.. Beards- Icy. superintendent Of the company, said this morning.
 MT. Beardsley in commenting upon the winter said that 1t was the hard est on the Connecticut company of any in the past. The storms not only tied up traffic on all lines at various times but damage has been done to trolley cars which have figured in minor accidents or because of the ruts in the streets have been scratched and marred by passing autoists and trucks. The vestibules of a few cars have been smashed as the result of collisions all due to the storms.
 Repair Gangs at Work.
 Men have already started at work on many of the principal streets welding stretches ofstracks which are badly in need of repair. On several streets it has already been found necessary to repair sections of pave- ment.
 MT. Beardsley remarked this morn- ing that many trolley cars on the streets at the present time appear as though they had been through bat tie because they have been so badly marred. All of these cars will be and repainted during the spring months.
 When asked if he thought any new rails would be laid this year, Mir. Reardsley said that possibly the rails On South Main street from Ash to Brook streets would be replaced if the city decided to put in permanent pavement on this stretch of roadway.
 Although the rails in kensington and Berlin are not in good condition, Mir. Beardsley could not say whether or not any new ones would be laid there this season. '. is not expected that new rails will be laid on any of the lines within the city of New Brit ain, he stated. The rails will all be welded wherever this is found nec- essary
 No Groove Rails Expected.
 Mr Beardsley was asked by a rep resentative of the Herald" if he ;, thought any of the new groove rails | might be put in place in this city, | 'uch as are used on many of the lines r Hartford and New Haven.
 He said that 75 per cent of the l 'ails used by the Connecticut com ,any are not groove rails and he did | not believe that such rails would be | aid in New Britain at the present | ime.
 In commenting upon improved | service, MT. Beardsley said that he lid not contemplate changes on any ,f the lines running in and out of | his city. There is a possibility, he i aid, that with the growth in Belvi- lere, Is minute schedule through ut the entire day might be granted within another year. At present the ars on that line operate on 15 min- lte schedule in the afternoon and un half hourly in the morning and at light.

B1otting Out Trachoma
By H. Addington Bruce


a impressive example of the possibili-
~ ties Of modern medical science in
coping with highly contagious dis
ease, is found in the results OF the anti
trachoma campaign of the United States
public health service in Knott county, Ken
lucky.
Beginning as a disease of the eyelids,
trachoma if neglected becomes eventually
a disease of the eyes and may cause total
blindness. Even when it spares the sight
it is productive Of much pain and often
has seriously disfiguring effects. And, once
established in a locality, it tends to be cpl
demc.
j This is what happened in Knott county
as was discovered some years ago by an
investigator for the public health service.
He found to quote from the report made
by him at the time:
MANY were blind from trachoma and
had to be led around after suffering from
sore eyes all their lives. Coroneal COM
plications were very common, varying from
the slight ground-glass appearance to pam
nus and liberation.
There were patients who ramained In
dark rooms shielding their eyes with their
arms, dark clothes, glasses, etc., who had
not seen light for many weeks or months
And these were unfortunately not isolated
cases by any means"
To combat this sad state Of affairs, an
anti-trachoma hospital was opened IN 1913
in Hindman, the county seat. An eye special
1st was in charge, assisted by trained
nurses, and 1t was announced that treat
ment and care would be freely given to all
applicants The treatment was chiefly sur
gical
In three years the situation in Knott
county was so improved that the hospital
was removed to another trachoma distract
A re-surVey, made recently, discioses that
there has been no lapse to the old-time
state or epidemic.
or 74O Knott county residents treated
in the hospital there were only twelve
known to be suffering from active trachoma
IN 1928. Data, to be sure, could not be
obtained regarding 259, or IS per cent
OF the patients treated, but the statistical
inference from the known cases was that
not more than eight of the 259 were un-
relieved.
Men who for years had been unable to
earn a livelihood were now self-supporting,
women unable to care for either their chill
dren or their homes were now able to n eet
all their responsibilities, children who had

At1anta's Union Stockyards
Their IMPORT to the South

4 LII who have pondered the importance
~ OF animal husbandry and diversified
crops for the south's economic up
building, hail the opening OF the Atlanta
Union Stockyards as an event Of great and
cheering omen. 1t is an enterprise that
touches not alone the concerns of commerce.
industry, banking, transportation and of
millions Of consumers, significant though it
is to every one of these, but that touches also
the basic interests of agriculture, from which
all streams of prosperity spring. Therein
lies the larger meaning Of the new stock
yards, the fact that makes them of conse-
quence to the future of the entire Southeast
With this establishment functionfng. At

neighbor States permanent, dependable and

The Stockyard company, as its officials are
careful to point out, does not itself buy or
sell live stock Or fix prices. But 1t renders
the vitality important service of enabling the
seller with his products and the buyer with
his demands to meet upon mutually helpful
basis. Thus, to quote the initial announce
ment, "Live stock arriving is unloaded by the

buyers Of the world. The company derives
its revenue from rental Of the space on a
yardage basis, plus the profit from sale of
feed. 1t is to the interest of the yard COM
pany to attract buyers to the market, and of
equal interest to influence shippers to con-
sign their stock for sale. Manifestly, neither
buyers nor shippers can long be held except
by strict enforcement OF honest trading That

thing of what it betokens to the raising of
live stock in the Southeast will appear from
a moments reflection upon the part that
market facilities have ever played in human
affairs. By a muddy ford on the Theirs
banks, where herdsmen and farmers and trav-
cling merchants met to barter, sprang the
beginnings OF imperial Rome; from a sandy
hill, overlooking a palm-fringed bay that
commanded the trade routes Of the Mediter-
ranean, grew mighty Carthage. Thus have
most cities begun and prospered; thus has
much of the worlds history been made. The
means and the service that enable men to
trade are fundamentally important because
without these there would be no incentive tC
