He also suggested a centralized control of credit, but voiced his belief that he did not consider the Chamber of Commerce sufficiently strong for such activity.
 Frank Green, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, when called upon from the audience later in the discussion, took Dr. Neifeld to task for his remark about Chambers of Commerce by saying, Here we do Q different job from what Dr. Nei- field knows about" Secretary Green cited several instances which oc- cured during his 10 years in Wa. terbury, in which heavily indebted persons have been aided by the Chamber of Commerce. He said that in 9S per cent of the cases, the persons had small loans among their other debts to pay.

Torrance held that in the maority of cases the merchants are to blame, for putting out their merchandise on the instalment plan, without re. ferring to the mans ability to pay.
 0. Arthur DuBois of the scovill Manufacturing Company, and Wal ter Jarvis of the Chase Brass and Copper Company explained in detail the methods used by their cone cerns In the assisting of employees who become deht.bound, and also in the assistance of their creditors Both strongly suggested that loan companies and merchants investi' gate with the factories more thor. oughly before granting credit. They told their audience that the eH1l" ployers in most cases have records of employees who have been known to be bad credit risks. Merchants should go back 10 years into Q mans record before granting him credit" according to MT. DuBois.

 As e remedy to this situation, the panel suggested that the amount of consumer credit extended by merchants and finance companies be limited by legislation, especially during slack business periods. The establishment of @ central agency for all merchants in order that they might be able to estimate the pay ing ability of their customers was also suggested.
 Attorney Walter Torrance, ref cree in bankruptcy for this district, stated that the majority of bank rupticies have been brought about by the extravaganza of the bank rupt He said that the most numer- ouS bankrupts are of the medium or lower classes.

ARRESTS FOLLOW AUTO ACCIDENTS
Reckless Driving Charge Preferred Against WO-
 man Driver

A man and a woman were arrest ed here last night following acci- dents. John Konitski, g, of 46 Chapel street, Thomaston, will be arraigned in traflc court Monday on a charge of operating while under the influence of liquor. Miss Bettina Palomba, 24, of 1200 Bank street, will be arraigned Monday on charges of reckless driving and violating the rules of the road.
 Konitski was arrested by Sergt. Charles McWeeney of the accident squad and State Trooper Harry Ritchic at II o'clock last night following crash on the Naugatuck road. Konitski's car, allegedly on the left side of the road, rammed into a machine operated by John Fillman of 35 Mitchell avenue, this city. Both cars were badly damaged, but the drivers escaped injury.

eral parts of the respiratory system, and that 1t may attack a person made weak by preceding disease or 8 person in only fair physical condition. Age is definitely a con- siderable factor. The environment under which the patient lives, the habit of excessive use of alcohol, pre- viouS diseases-al lof these influence the course and outcome of pneu- monia.
 But doctors no longer refer to the disease as simply "lobar pneumonia, :" but specify whether 1t is type I, type II, type V, type VII Or type VIII, etc, since for some of these types specific serum has been de- veloped which will reduce the num- Der of deaths to 8 known degree. The question is often asked, How does the serum work?" To explain this the department in its bulletin hkened an attack of pneumonia to a siege in which pneumonia germs are the besiegers, the human body the fortified town, and the defenders are an army of white blood cells. It is the duty of the defenders to pre- serve the town it is the avowed pur- pose of the germ besiegers to destroy it. There is constant warfare be- tween the two once the besiegers have entered the center of the town. The white blood defenders may be unable to destroy them, but they have powerful allies in a group known as "antibodies," who hasten into the fray, wound a large num- Der of attackers, 50 that the white cells may destroy the germs. These allies may be already quartered in the body town or thye may have to be rushed into 1t by means of serum at the time of grave danger.
 Laboratory Tests
 It is necessary, however, to deter mine by well established laboratory test just which type of pneumonia germs comprise the attacking army for it would be worthles to mass allies armed with broad swords to overcome attackers equipped with machineguns. If the attacking germs are among the five types men, toned above, specific antibodies for those types can be rushed to the de- fense in sera. The best method for a successful fight, the bulletin said is to build up the natural body de- lenses, and then once the siege is on and the nature of the enemy known to send for the serum allies
