A sidewalk condition on Arch street was pointed to as a spe- cific case. The claims committee in- formed the council one payment has already been made on this account and others are likely to follow un- less the ordinance is lived up to.
 Mrs. Sarah McConn notified the council she will seek damages as a result of | fail on an icy sidewalk on West Main street, near South Burritt street.
 A $500 payment was voted R. J. Bardeck for codifying the ordi- nances. Judge John H. Kirkham sug- gested that the qualification be scrutinized by the ordinance com mittee and himself before being printed. He called attention to the fact that an index of the zoning law, the building code and special acts of liS leSiStdtuTe -uocS NOt appear.

 Alderman Grysbowski announced he had resolution to be read later which would cover the same point, but Councilman Murphy pointed out that no further information was re- quired. Councilman Sablotsky also argued that no further discussion was necessary since the board of finance and taxation would receive the resolution and take the ultimate action.
 Councilman Zapatka attempted to have Alderman Grysbowski's reso- luton for a committee tabled on the ground that the resolution covered q point already disposed of and was therefore out of order. Mayor Weld ruled the motion was in order.
 Councilman Joseph A. Kloskowslli asked what objection there is to a committee. T should think such a committee would speed up work, ' kloskowski declared.

 Alderman Johnson objected to the adoption of ordinances permitting Class c roofing to be placed in the city because it had not been report ed in the agenda mailed to mem- bers. The ordinance committee through its chairman, Alderman David L. Nair. pointed out that many builders have been put to great expense because the commit tee listened to MT. Bishop (who drafted the code) and it Is their de- sire to prevent added hardships.
 No New Police officials
 The council by unanimous vote re- jected a recommendation that an- other captaincy and lieutenancy be created in the police department. Alderman Judd moved that the pe- tition be turned back. remarl1ing:-
 We don't need any more officers. In view of what has happened re- gently, I think if anything we need more patrolmen."

DRAMA 0F IRELAND
 IS ABLY PRODUCED
"haytime in Erin'' Offered by
 St. Jossph's Players

"Maytime in Erin," a drama in which Walter Scanlon. famous inter- preter of Irish life, starred num- Der of years ago, was produced at the Lyceum theater last evening by an amateur cast for the benefit of St. Joseph's convent. All seats on the lower floor and the balcony were oc- cupied by friends of the actors and members of the parish. as well as members Of other Catholic parishes in the city.
 Considering the difficulties which the cast faced, the production was deserving of favorable comment. "Maytime in Erin" might well chal- lenge the talents of professionals The manner in which it was given reflects credit on those who por- trayed the characters and who over came obstacles which would discour- age amateurs of mediocre ability The lines were ably handled and the plot was evenly unfolded, the story being told to smooth and logical conclusion. If applause is baro- meter of the feelings of the audi ence, 1t was thoroughly satisfied.
 The cast included Miss Helen Brennan, Mrs. Katherine Crowley Solomon. Miss Hazel Atwater, Mat thew Callahan, William J. O'Brien, Harold Ward. Fred Gennette, Will liam Humason and John Tobin. The play was directed by Rev. John J. Keane, curate at St. Josephs church. John J. Crean, organist at St. Mary's church, was musical director, intro- ducing several musical numbers which were used by Scanlon in the original production.
 Noticed in the audience were many clergymen and leaders in pro- -fessional and business life.
 The play will be repeated this eve- ming.

THE SCHOOL OF TROPICAL
MEDICINE.
(Na1g York Herald Tribune

A-FLcL W ' AAC'+ 1Ct 4 tD-'ICt
The dedication of the new School of
Tropical Medicine in San Juan is another
proud achievement to the credit of our
West Indian dependency. The Porto
Rican capital, itself a healthful modern
city, offers an ideal opportunity for the
study Of the various ills that beset man
in the tropics. 1t was there that Colo
mel Bailey Ashford conducted the re.
searches which resulted in the segre-
cation of the hook worm and the dis
c0very of methods for hookWorm pre-
v|ention and cure. 1t was there that
sprue and other scOurges were brought
under control.
DR.. Ashford is himself one of the
prime movers in making the School of
Tropical Medicine a reality. The beautl-
full new building in San Juan IS at once
a monument to his labors and the home
of a work destined to be Of the greatest
value, not only in Porto Rico, but
throughout the islands of the Carrib-
bean and all tropical America. An ar
rangement by which Columbia Uni
versity and the University OF Porto Rico
exercise Joint control over the school is
designed the closest cooperation be
tween the leaders in tropical medicine
in this country and those actually work
ing in the field.
The School of Tropical Medicine isalso
a step toward the fuIflIment of Porto
Rico's dreams. With its heritage Of
Spanish culture, Porto Rico is bound to
the United States by ties which its own
people would be the last to sever. Con
ficts have arisen from the clash of Latin
ideas and Anglo Saxon ideas, p%articu-
larly in he realm OF politics. But these
are becoming fewer and talk of indepen-
dence is no longer heard. Rather does
Porto Rico consider herself the place
where Latin culture and AngIo-Saxon
culture may be fused.
With so many of the islanders enjoy
ing the gift of two tongues. and some
clearly compromising the mentality OF
two peoples. Porto Rico may speak TO
the Latin-American states in accents as

can thus be made familiar with new
heart beats.
When reproduced on the monograph
the result IS unusually vivid. There are
the slow humping thud thus similar to the
tapping of a feIted hammer, the heavy
first beats, the feeble second "baats
and the faint murmurs which accompany
them.
Aids In Analysis.
Another interesting fact about the in
vention is the possibility to send down
the machine to hear every detail of the
beat an advantage over the s%tethphOne
to enable keen and minute analysis. 1t
was also suggested that discs of the
patient could could be preserved for fu-
ture comparisons and conditions of the
heart.
