JUDGE SAKE LAUDS
 HOSPITAL NURSES
Render Service Most Needed, He
 Says at Luncheon

No such slogan as those adopted by civic clubs is needed by the nurses at the New Britain General hospital, according to Judge Morris D. SaXe who spoke today at the opening session of the hospital Ro- tary club. Judge SaXe pointed out that the nurses are devoting their entire time in rendering that service which Is the most needed and which counts the most.
 He called attention to the local hospital of which he is a dire ctor and remarked that it was through the generosity and sacrifice of men of ideals that New Britain was able to have a hospital which is on a par with the best in the country.
 He spoke Of the confidence in the nurse shown by patients and how the nurse with a smile inspires ad- miration and love in her patients
 Judge SaXe referred 10 the fact that 1t was Armistice Day and said one of the things which Arnisticc Day brings is the privilege of re memberng the sacrifices made by the boys who fought for a cause in which they believed. He said the war. bad as 1t was, would have been far more intolcrable were It not for the aid and comfort and encourage ment rendered by the nurses in the service
 A brief address on the New Brit ain Red Cross drive and what 1t means this year was made by Peter Crona, chairman of the New Britain chapter.
 Amusement was furnished hv a mock operation staged by the nurs- es. During the luncheon, one of the student nurses suddenly began fo scream with pain and 10 cry Gall a doctor, call a. doctor" So realistic was hor acting that pr. T. Eben Reeks, superintendent, and several of the interneS who were not informed of the act, rushed to her aid. Before they reached her however, another nurse, dressed in q comedy physicians outfit came in carrying a medicine case, stctho- scope ana other appliances. Tho nurse was declared to be in need Of an immediate operation. She was wheeled out on a stretcher and an impromptu operating room set up in the corridor, Here by clever man lpulation a stuffed dummy was ar ranged on an operating table in such a manner that it appeared to be a live patient. Tho "sick nurse" concealed underneath the table with only her head showing, com pleted the life-like appearance of me dummy.
 Fake physicians, internes, order lies and nurses then removed a leg and both arms, took several pounds Uf alleged gall stones and other for ign matter from the interior of the dummy, cut off the patients head, examined and repaired everything and returned the organs and limbs 10 the proper places. The nurse re- turned "curcd' in time to finish her luncheon.

JOHNSON ADMITS
 HE WAS DEFEATED
His Wet-and-Dry Debate With
 Malone AInuSeS 300

Boston. Nov. II PU)-The wet and-dry debate between William E.. "Tussyfoot" Johnson and Dudley Field Malone h"ro last night was billed as Q no-dccision affair. but after 1t was over, even Johnson him. self admitted he had been bested.
 An elite audience that numbered "oo was kept ia a mirthful mood by the verbal sword-crossings of the giant of temperance and the inter- acknowledgement lawyer.
 In opening, Johnson paid his re srcats 10 his "illustrious opponent, tha gentleman who went to Ten ncss"o and so ably defended the monkeys from inc charge of being the ancestors Of us poor white tClllS."
 "There Is an impression that pro hlhttion is a sort of malady or dis temper which has swept over the American people and taken us off our feet sHi Johnson.
 But I call your attention to the fact that prohibition is the common est thing in the world. Why. every law on tn. penal code is nothing more or less than a prohibition law; so every law since the days of Adam has been a prohibition law.
 "Go oy,r to Europe and you will find tha, you run across more prohi- hiton signs over there in week than you run across in our own country in q month. You will find the 'N"rtotou' Of Scandinavia and of Germany and in the II Est Defcndu' of France; in England you will find the same thing, including notices telling you that it will cost 4U shill- Iu&s 10 spit
 The American people put the 18th amendment into the constitu- tloU and there it is going 10 stay while the flag of our nation still John declared.
 In the midst of his address, Malone produced q popular mag aziue and pointed to an article signed by Johnson and headed, T Had to Lie, Bribc and Drink 10 Put Prohibition Over ill America"
 'Nead it all," broke in Johnson.
 "I intend to- rctortcd Nadine, who proceeded to do so.
 In this confcasion," said Malone when he had finished, "Nr. John son expresses what is the guiding principle Of the Anti-Saloon league, the end iuStifics the means

 Both the Nolstead act and the 18th amendment were "unwarrantcd crCroachmcnts upon personal lib crty," Malone contcnded.

Wall Street Pays Little Atten-

New York. Nov. II up.-Early h'eitancy in todays stock market Was followed by period of strength in which several of the merchandis- ing and tobacco issues reached new ground. Wall street seemingly paid little attention to the extra dividend Of $2.50 on General Motors. which was generally expected. and the in- crease on nearly Sl&.000.n in brokers loans, but It found bulish encouragement in the announcement of higher steel prices by subsidiaries Of the United States Steel Corpora lion.
