Experts have estimated that fifty percent or more of departments budget should go into the salaries of public health nurses. The home care of the sick and the nursing care at time of confine- msnt are still carried on largely by public health nurses working under the auspices of private agencies, and in partnership with the health department, their work forms an essential factor in the community health program.
 While at the present time there is a trend toward including care of the sick in health department service, there remains a very i'm portant program for the private agency to carry out in experimen tation, demonstration, and the continued home care of patients able to pay something for nurs- ing service but unable to afford or not in need of the services of a private duty nurse or hopsital care.
 In city, town and hamlet, pub lie health nurses are making more than 29,000,000 visits a year to the homes of our people. They are the first line of defense in time of epidemics or disaster & at the same time they are the shock troops" in the aggressive advance upon the conquest of disease. It is estimated that community needs at least one public health nurse to every 25OO persons. No state has reached this ratio, but many communities have done so Authorities agree that the sooner properly qualified public health nurses are employ ed in the modern public health program, the faster will come public understanding and the ap- plication of scientific methods to maintain health and control dis ease in our daily life.
 It is the function of the Nation al Organization for Public Health Nursing to promote understand ing of public health nursing and to establish standards for it's best performance as a fundamental community service.

There is nothing more import ant to the life of people than the conquest of disease. Our great cities are made possible through it, and human progress and happiness depend largely on how completely modern scientific knowledge is applied and used in our community life. There have been enormous advances in the science of medicine and disease prevention in the last fifty years. Few of us stop to think how much of our safetly and comfort we owe to the research worker. lab oratory technician, physician, sur geon, dentist, and chemist. The average life expectancy has been extended, many communicable diseases almost stamped out, and our daily life made far easier, thanks to their efforts.
 In all of this activity a figure moves unobtrusively. but effici- ently, translating the findings of the laboratory and desk into the language of the man in the street, and teaching through precept and demonstration in the homes of our people what is meant by healthful living. The public heal th nurse (sometimes known as the visiting nurse) is the connect ing link between hospital and home, health department and home, school and home, and in- duStry and home. While her ori- gin dates far back to the friendly visitation of the sick poor, the charity work of religious orders, and the early district nurses in England, her modern prototype in the United States is a highly trained individual, working un- der organized community auspi- ces and supported either through public funds or private gifts and

fees.
 The modern public health nurse brings to her work the training of graduate registered nurse and in addition to this, special study in the control of communi- cable diseases, the recognition of social problems, and the study of human behavior and methods of teaching health. She is thus eqipped to assist the physician in the bedside care of the sick, the health officer in the control of environment, and the people themselves in an understanding of healthful living.
 Forty years ago in this country the public health nurses function did not extend much beyond the home nursing care of the sick poor, who were unable to afford a private duty nurse or who for some reason were not hospitaliz- ed. Today she is one of 10000 or more public health nurses in the United States,who give health supervision and skilled nursing care to the sick in their homes both to those who can pay and those who cannot-under medical direction. She inStructS the msm bers of the family how to give nursing care between her visits. She interprets the rulings of the health department regarding quarantine and precautions to proven. the spread of communic- able diseases. She teaches the eXpectant mother how to carry out her doctors orders regarding he own care; how to prepare for her confnment and the coming of the baby She help sto safe. guard the health of the school child and the worker in industry She assists in the promotion o1 health through the wise use o1 community resources and endea. vors to bring about better home conditions and a more healthful environment. In all of these ac- tivitias she applies the most re- cent scientific knowledge in re- gard to health conservation.
 The work of the health depart ment in our large cities is depenc ent to a great extent, upon the work of public health nurses

many times. The machines were we'll designed, nicely-decorated and proved profitable for a time.
 Open Payments
 When they began to pail, opera tors began placing, in a few choice locations, the first of the flash machines. These included horse racing machines and the like. Care was taken about paying cash prizes at first, but soon the money awards were being paid openly, the machine itself delivering them into a coin box for the player when a hit was registered.
 The machines grew hashier and more numerous. But they also be- gan to slip in popularity, and the cycle was completed short time ago when the slot machines re- turned. Unlike the hardly decora- tive ones of prohibition days, these were made of choice woods, stream lined and handsomely painted. But they gathered in nickels just as did the slot machines of the old days.
 The popularity of these machines was mushrooming rapidly in recent weeks, and there was a great de- mand for the devices when Supt. Roach issued his orders last night.
 It is probable that flying squad" of police will be named to- night to seek machines that have not been removed. Members of the vice squad will probably form the nucleus of this group, with other policemen being assigned to aid.

the introduction of new-type ma chimes l. ere.
 Everything Included
 It was learned authoritatively to- day that the ban will not only in- clude the out-and-out slot machines which had made their appearance in recent weeks, and the flash games in which players had the privilege of seeing electric dials and lights spin for their money, but also the now old-fashioned pin games In these devices the players aim is to seek a high score and win a cash or merchandise prize; games of this type were popular for time but soon proved too slow, and fast CT playing and faster nickel-catch- ing machines soon replaced them.
 Tomorrow morning police will be- gin a survey of the entire city tc see if any machines are left. Any that are found will be taken away in trucks, and stored at the police station until court permission to de- stroy them has been secured.
 Deserve No Sympathy
 The police attitude today was that distributors of the machines and those in whose establishments the games were operating deserve nc sympathy, since they refused to fol- low the terms of the agreement un- der which the machines were licens- ed and gave out cash and merchan- disc awards.
 Estimates on the number of ma chimes in the city which must be removed by tomorrow night varied One police official said that 600 was an approximate figure; another said that the recent influx of new ma chimes had brought the total to 1000 or more. The extent of the indus try and the amount of money in- volved can be seen from these fig ures, with new machines ranging mostly in price from $100 to $500.
 Promoters Brazen
 It was known that police had been Investigating the machine situ- ation for some time and were pre- pared to act, but the sweeping ban came with startling suddenness to most of the city. When reports came to Supt. Roach that distribu- tors were placing the devices in vir- tually every bit of clear space and that they had made so bold as to bring back old-type slot machines, but in modern dress, he decided to act.
 The machines were all owned by a few distributors, and were placed in taverns and other establishments that the distributor and the owner of the establishment would divide the profits. Sometimes a 60-40 ar- rangement prevailed.
 For time following the banning of slot machines here a few years ago, the city was free of gambling devices. Then came the first pin games. They began as innocent games of skill, but soon prizes were being offered and the number of machines in the city was multiplied

Illegal l?l

Motor Vehilces Commissioner Michael A. Connor doesn't know whether he has authority in law or not, to charge one dollar in- stead of 25 cents for inspection of motor vehicles after the period for the semi-annual inspection ends, and his answer to the ques- tion why he does it, is that the inspection costs that much to make.
 People who had their cars in- spected as they were supposed to, before December 31, paid 25 cents for the inspection. Those who came after the close of the in- Spection period paid $1 and many have had their registrations sus- pended for five or 10 days. Pos sible suspension under the law is 90 days.
 The motor vehicles department has never had an opinion from the attorney general on the point. Under new reorganization meas ures Commissioner Connor is not allowed to keep any of the fees for inspection of motor vehicles. They all go into the State High way Fund and the cost Of operat- ing the inspection lanes comes out of Motor Vehicles department ap- propriations.

REPRIMAND GIVEN
 ACCUSED DRIVER
Peter Guglielmo Lucky to Escape With SIPS
 Fine, Says Judge

Appeal to the court of common pleas from city court fine of $125 and costs on drunken driving and operating without a license charges netted Peter Guglielmo nothing but severe reprimand and embarrass- ment today.
 Judge Edward J. Finn refused to reduce the fine, and also informed Guglielmo that if the case had come before him primarily, he would have been jailed as well as fined.
 Guglielmo was arrested October II, 1897 after an accident at the corner of East Main and Cherry streets, involving his car and that of Dr. Louis Thibault. Arraigned in city court he was fined $100 on the charge of drunken driving and $25 on the charge of operating without drivers license.
 Attorney Thomas McGrath told the court that the appeal had been taken only to allow Guglielmo time to raise the money to pay the fine. This he had been unable to do, he said. Guglielmo had been unable to raise the money for the fines at a late hour today, and was believed ready to go to jail in lieu of pay ment.

A compensation claim against the City of Waterbury by Edward Quin- Ian of 207 Willow street was today dismissed by Commissioner James M. Lynch. The dismissal was ac- companied by the opinion that the alleged injury was not sustained during the course of employment.
 Quinlan's claim for compensation was based on a finger injury said to have been suffered when a rock fell on it at the East Mountain reservoir work project. The city maintained that Quinlan had been employed to cut brush.
 Compensation of $275 will be paid Peter Madigosky of Seymour by Wolf Golickman of Derby, ac- cording to stipulation approved by Commissioner Lynch. The stipu- lation also provides for payment ot medical expenses.
 In a common agreement, Charles Thatcher Company agrees to pay Michael F. Horan of B Watertown avenue $1820 beginning December II, and during the course of his disability due to an injured right wrist.

For the second time within the past few weeks, thieves last night broke into a tavern owned by A. J. Venskunas, at 68 1-2 Alder street. This time they took a gaming machine, which contained a considerable sum, of money.
 Only a short time ago, burg lars broke into the tavern and carried away a heavy safe, being forced to break down the door to get the safe out. They appar- ently took the strongbox away in a truck. It contained a large sum of money and many busi- ness papers.

censed with the understanding that no prizes of any kind would be awarded the players; distributors of the machines violated this promise. Another reason for the ban was the fact that the number of machines in the city had advanced many fold in recent months, with every sec- tion of the community being vir- tually flooded by the devices.
 Machines Taken Away
 Machines were being taken away today from scores of restaurants, tayerns, smoke shops, grocery stores, drag stores and establishments of every description. Some places have had as many as five or six machines ready for play at th3 same time. Hardest hit by the ban are the major distributors, some of whom control scores of machines. Some of the devices are worth as much as $500, and the distributors today were seeking frantically to dispose of them in other cities. Only short time ago a large shipment of ma- chimes was sent from Waterbury to southern cities to make room for

A drunk whose craving for liquor was SD strong that he traded a new outfit of clothes worth S1OO for $2 worth of credit in 8 tavern was arraigned before Judge Edward Mascolo in city court this morning. It was his third appearance before the court in recent weeks, and he was sentenced to serve two weeks in the workhouse.
 The court was told that not long ago a group of the mans friends, seeing him down and out, bought him a new set of clothes, decking him out from head to foot. The next day they found he had traded the clothes to bartender, in return for S2 in drinks.

All ma- chimes, whether or not they are games of Skill" must be withdrawn by tonight or the operators of es- tablishments in whose places they are found will be arrested and brought into court. The machines themselves will be conf1scated and destroyed in such cases.
 Failure of machine owners to keep their pledge to the police not to have the devices pay out money or tokens exchangeable for money is responsible for the edict against the machines. Machines were being l-
