PLAINTIFF LOSES
 DEMURRER PLEA
Judge Simpson OverruIes Motion Presented in
 $40,OO0 Action

Superior Court Judge Earnest c. Simpson today ruled that 8 special defense of the City of Waterbury in the civil actions brought by James Leary and John Frederick. claiming damages of $40,0OO, could not be removed by demurrer.
 He overruled demurTers filed by the plaintiffs to have ruled out the claim of the city that Broderick and John McKeeman, of whose estate Leary is administrator, received compensation from the EZRA. and therefore could not file civil actions.
 Both were injured November 27, 1885, while working on an EZRA. project in Leavenworth High school. A ladder broke, causing them to fall several feet. The city claims that the plaintiffs cannot collect dam- ages because of their acceptance of the EZRA. compensation. Mo- Keeman died July 4, 1887, after the filing of the claim and Leary was appointed administrator of the estate.

this condition occurred among human beings in this territory.
 By cooperative effort involving the practicing physicians and the public health authorities in the areas concerned and research work CTS in many of the great research institutions of the country, includ- ing particularly those at the Uni- versity of California and at the Rockefeller Institute, it has been found that the virus which causes this inflammation of the brain among horses and man is essentially the same.
 In the MassachuttS epidemic the virus was isloated from the brains of the horses and of the children and was then injected by way of the nose into mice. It was highly infectious, producing the same dis ease. Moreover, 1t was found that this virus could be passed from one animals to another.
 Additional studies indicate that it may be possible by inoculation of rabbits to prepare serum which will destroy or stop the activity ot this virus. Moreover, the investiga- tors are doing their utmost to find, if possible, a protective substance against this exceedingly vicious type of infection.

City Awaits Arrival
 OfNew, Happier Year
Thousands to Participate in Festive Celebrations TO= night-Churches 10 Hold New Year Days Services

Old Man 1888 totters into the last hours of being tonight, his legs weak with the exhaustion caused by such burdens as few other years have known.
 The larger portion of 100000 citi- zens in Waterbury will cheer his going. There will be wassail for the infant year. no tears for the bearded villain labeled "Old Man 1938."
 This is everyone's night out, in the sense of the phrase. Staid folks who shudder over late hours will make special dispensation to their con- sciences in order to greet the New Year, symbol of hope and the op- timism which is more than another nationality's, an American trait.
 Face Future
 In spite of hardshipS caused by such conditions as the city has not known in even the highly-publicized depression" the Average Citizen and the Average Family in Waterbury tonight will forget inventory of the past, plan restocking the future with yards of Progress, bales of Ac- complishment, tons of Ambition.
 For the lighter motif, there will be quarts of whatever pleases individ- ual taste the most and the more serious aspect of the wake of 1888 will be forgotten, for the nonce, as the bells ring out the old, ring in the new.
 Mort parties are planned for to- night than for any other period of Old Man 1938's career. Scarcely formal will be his departure; yet there will be many who will dress to make this happy anniversary as memorable as any party can be.
 Throughout the city there will be music and dancing, the night will be bright as dawning in the cafes and hotels, at the clubs and homes where bright-eyed folk, young and old, will count the minutes until sigh but merrily when the last second of a dreary year has succumbed to 1939's legion of 365 new days and its multitude of hours teeming with unfathomed promise.

this New Year, Waterburians may toast the incoming 1899 in restau- rants, clubs, hotels and public places, taverns and grills and wherever the grape that fills is to be found for sale.
 Several hundred thousand toasts to the future are in prospect and at least a score of different lan- guages will be used to pass along the familiar Good Healths", such as "Gesundheit ist Besser als Krankheit";; "Salud" and Salute; "Skoal" and Flicker Skoal"; "A votre Sante" and "A Ia Votre"; ''Manua ia oe", the Tahitian Good health to you" And so many more Happy New Years that the dawn can scarcely contain the number.
 On the serious side, again, there will be spiritual thanksgiving for the calendars gain in many services in the city churches. Many worship pers will observe the anniversary as one which epitomizes the dawn of constructive endeavor.
 Affairs in celebration of the an- niversary have been listed here other days this week, the announcements of the extra holiday to follow.
 For this is a long weekend, sim liar to that of Christmas. Banks, stores, courts with the exception of city cour0 the Silas Bronson Li- brary, (closing at 6 o'clock tonight until Tuesday,, all will be closed on Mondy. Newspapers will not publish on this extra "New Year" which 1939 brings.
 So passes Old Man 1888 tonight unmourned by most in Waterbury. Throughout the dawn of tomorrow and the holiday following there will be praise of the New Year and the tradition of resolves that this new period will provide all things as they are sought, with true American realization of the opportunities of the land.
 Which savers somewhat of self praise for life in a democracy, as compared with totalitarian regimes, adding something of zest, however, to Happy New Year" and Hail, l939!"

} THE MARCH OF MEDICINE IN 1888
Virus That Causes Brain Inflammation In Horse and Man the Same

This is the last of five articles
 describing medicine'S major ad-
 vances in 193&
 By DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American
 Medical Association, and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 For several years throughout the United States there have appeared epidemics in horses which destroy ed great numbers of valuable ani- malS. For example, during the first week of August. 1888, an outbreak of inflammation of the brain occur among horses in southeastern Massachusetts and in Rhode Island and caused the death of more than 200 animals.
 Simultaneously in various parts of the United States from time to time there have occurred outbreaks of a condition called epidemic en- cephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, among human beings. The condition is frequently confused with the inflammation of the brain that produces a sleeping sickness occasionally called American sleep ing sickness in contrast to the sleeping sickness of Africa that is caused by the trepanosome trans mitted by the tSetse fly.
 Thus physicians are confronted with the special problem of distin- gushing between various forms of inflammation of the brain; also they are troubled by an effort to determine just how these epidemics occur. In the second week of August 1888, a young girl, 12 years old, came to a hospital in Brockton, Mass, with an attack of inflamma- tion of the brain.
 Eventually more than 30 cases of
