LYNN BLAZE HAS
 NOT YET ENDED

Lynn, Mass, Feb. 1l.-UP).- Bremen continued to pour water on smouldering coal piles today after 8 $700000 general-alarm waterfront fire at the Lynn Gas & Electric company plant.
 Twelve persons were hospitalized, including seven firemen who were blown out into Lynn harbor and capsized after trying to fight the fire from makeshift raft. They were rescued by coast guards.
 The fire started Al a creosote bulk head on the company wharf and quickly spread to thousands of tons of bituminous coal. A fireboat was called from Boston and f1remel: from five neighboring communities.
 Soon the entire wharf was in flames. Two coal hoists over 100 feet high collapsed and conveyer chutes became a blazing mass, one section dropped into the water, mar rowly missing a Swampscott engine crew.
 Fearing electric service might be interrupted, the utility company of- ficials arranged with the Lynn Gen. eral Electric company for emergency service for consumers.
 While inspecting the ruins, Fire Chief William F. Welch slipped on a. charTed plank and suffered a spraired ankle.

 Infant mortality decreased but there was an increase ill death of mothers. The cancer death rate dropped slightly.
 "Pneuminoa, said Dr. Osborn, "is apparently the next disease to lose its terrors to large extent for within the next few months 1t is expected that therapeutic seca will be available for many more of the types of the pneumooccus causing illness" Since the report was writ ten several of these new sera have been made available by the depart ment. ...
 Dr. Osborn said that scarlet fever immunization is now developed to the point where parents should make use of it even though it takes five injections to immunize a child. Protection is the same as ill diph- theria immunization.

Especial to The DemocraD

Hartford, Feb. II Grants for public health work from the state to towns with inadequate tax re- ceiptS to carry on this work were recommended ill the annual report of the State Public Health Council to Governor Cross, for the year end- ed last June 30. The system would provide disbursements similar to the present provision of funds for road construction and school building so that local funds, with the state grants, would match existing Fed eral funds for local public health work.
 If this were done" said the council, it would make it possible for all the towns in the state to be served by full-time trained public health workers in local sanitary dis trict department of health"
 Since 1885, Health Commissioner Stanley H. Osborn pointed out in his report, submitted with the coun- cils, Connecticut has had a law permitting towns to group together in sanitary district to employ full time trained health officer. United States Public Health Service funds are available to be matched dollar for-dollar ill paying for improved local health departments.
 Towns and cities are not taking all the steps that can be taken to promote the public health unless they employ full-time trained per- sonnel to carry on public health work" wrote Dr. Osborn.
 The Public Health Council. which cited the State grants as one of the two most urgent needs for promo ton of public health, said that the other was increased appropriations for the State Health Department. Requests for increased appropria- tions for the current biennium were not granted "and the Public Health Council had no alternative but to carry out the work of the depart- ment as best it could within the limits of its appropriations .''

 Court Yesterday

Albany, Feb. 11.-(UP). Arraign- lnent of 49 men and one won1an in federal court on indictments charg- ing conspiracy in connection with the operation of an alleged lottery ring was expected to be completed today. The arraignment involved de- fendants from New York, Massachu- sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio. Twelve pleas, three, guilty and nine, not guilty were made late yesterday before Judge Frank Cooper de- ferred the other arraignments until today at II a. m. Leo Bogardos, of Teaneck, N.sJ., was fined $l00 and given two year suspended sen- tence.
 Two Pleaded Guilty
 Fred Hollfelder of New Britain, Conn, and John J. Walsh of West Medford, Mass, pleaded guilty. Dis position of their cases was expected to precede the arraignmentS today.
 Not guilty pleas were entered by attorney for Charles Ardito and Ralph Carter of New Haven, Conn; Edward Desmond, Kenneth G. and Leon M. Dussault, Little Falls, N. Y.; Raymond Parger, Troy, N. r.; Abraham Bunevitzyk, Cohoes, N. r.; Benjamon Lustgarten, Philadelphia, and Jack Bedding, Long Meadow, Mass. All were released under bail

OPERATION MAY
 RESTORE SIGHT
Corneas From Eyes of An= other Transplanted to
 Man Who Lost Sight

Darby, Pa, Feb. 11-(UP)-A rare and delicate operation in which the corneas from the eyes of another, presumably dead, were transplanted into the eyes of Amos Franklin Nor rison, 50, of Media, Pa, ill an effort to restore the sight lost 9 years ago has been performed in New York, it was disclosed here today.
 Morrison, who was blinded Feb. 8, 1917, by an explosion in a chem ical laboratory in Pennsylvania's anthracite region was sent to the Vanderbilt Clinic for the operation by the Delaware County Lions club. Arthur w. Worthington, chairman of the committee that arranged for the operation, said he could not confirm the report that the window paneS' had come from the eyes of the still-born baby of an unwed mother.
 Reluctant to Discuss It
 we are reluctant to discuss this case" Worthington said, flor fear it may raise 1alSe hopes TOT many blind people.
 "We don't know whether this op- eration will turn out successfully, and it can only be successful ill cases similar to MT Morrison's, whose sight was normal before the explosion"
 Worthington said he had discov- cred that the first operation of the kind had been performed in France ill 1895. Similar operations have been performed recently in Russia, where eyes are kept in cold stor- age" for this purpose.
 It was learned that the operation on Morrison was performed by a famous French surgeon, the third generation of his family that has been doing this type work.

 AS we crossed the Yellow River bridge, a soldier refused to permit me to lcok out the window. He was afraid I had & bomb.
 We pass huge troops concentra- tions on every railway. Troops trains are making travel slow. Once we stopped by freight car in which there were two girls. Soldiers swept the floor with a newspaper and laid a blanket down for them. l wonder how American girls would fare un- der the same circumstances.
 We were eight hours behind schedule getting into Hsuchow., The platform was crowded with sprawl ing soldiers, peasantry and we'll dressed people. Troop trains kept coming in and going out. In the tricky shadows made by the station lights, 1t was a sad and somewhat thrilling sight. But there were no bands playing, no crowds to cheer the soldiers who were leaving, no sweetheartS to hug them, no moth- CTS to weep.
 The soldiers crouch on the train. Their shirts hang out over their pants. Sometimes they are dressed only in underwear. Once in Q while they are naked, with a bowl of rice in their hands.
 All divisional number armbands have been removed. Sometimes they wear Chinese characters in place of the division number. Once l went over to a train and asked a soldier what army he belonged to. An of ficer came up and said, What are you?" I answered, T am a man"
 He angrily told me to get away.
