Ray photographs of normal and abnormal hearts. In the South, he said, there is more heart disease from high blood pressure than in the North, contrary to the popular illusion of easy-going Southerners.
 Irregularities
 Skipping, "flops", or somersaults, and premature beats have no sig nificance to the medical man, the speaker said, and there are many irregularities of the heart beat that are unrelated to disease.
 Although 1t is not possible to say with certainly what effect tobacco has on the heart, Dr, Marvin as- serted that it is fairly well estab- lished that 1t affects the smaller blood vessels and probably the capillaries. He said that he has never known a patient to use alcohol to an extent where 1t injured the heart.
 Dr. Jof.n H. Foster, of Waterbury speaking after Dr. Marvin, said that deaths from heart disease il, Waterbury were 198 during 1886 POP in 1897, and 250 in 1888. He added that deaths from tuberculosis were decreasing.
 In the open forum that followed a man asked, "What effect has romance on the heart?" Romance
 Dr. Marvin. said romance in- creased the heart beat and raises the blood pressure.
 Another speaker was Dr. Irving s. Platt of Waterbury, Dr. J. Har- old Root presided.

Legislative Notes

Hartford, Jan. 20.-The alter nate juror bill, which would set up 0 statute allowing the use of two extra jurors in e protracted civil or criminal trial, was pre-. pared by Attorney Richardson Bronson of Waterbury. He sub- mitted the measure to the Judicial council, which in turn transmit- ted 1t to the assembly. Tn the present Waterbury conspiracy trial, two aiternates will serve, but only by agreement of both sides, since there is no present provision in the statutes for their use.
 Two bills aimed at the Public Utilities Commission were filed at the Capitol yesterday by Wa terbury legislators. Rep. Hugo Guastaferri's measure calls for an investigation of past activities of the r. U. c. and . lessening of the commissions powers. Senator George T. Culhane would take from the commission much of the control which it now exercises over trucking in the state.
 Employes of many state de- partments were waiting today with fear and trepedation for Gov. Baldwins budget message. It was known that he planned to eliminate many present jobs, but 1t was not known in what de- partments.
 William J. Pape, Waterbury publisher, was . visitor at the Capitol yesterday. Ills visit co- incided with the introduction of the Republican city organizations bills in the state senate. The bills, most of them aimed at Mayor Frank Hayes and his ad- ministration, were prepared by Republican Town Chairman !. Warren Upson and filed by sen- ator J. Howard Roberts of Thom. aston.
 The states teaching circles are considerably aroused over the bill which would give Mayor Jasper McLevy power to appoint rnem- bers of the board of education in that city. The board members are now elected. McLevy Is backing other bills which would give the Socialist administration greater control of teachers and principals. Republican support of the measures was presumably promised in return for the votes of the two Socialist senators which gave the Republicans control of the upper house of the legisla- ture.
 State employees under the merit system could appeal to the sue peri0r court when discharged from their jobs under terms of . bill presented In the house by Rep. Robert Judsoii, of W0odbury.
 Howard W. Alcorn, son of spe- ciai Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn was nominated in the house yes- terday for judge Of the town court of sufiield.

MILK PRICE PLAN
 WILL BE CHANGED
New s y s { e m Effective October 1 No Effect
 on Resale Prices

A change in the method of de- termining the price which shall be paid to the Connecticut producers for milk used as cream and for manufacturing purposes was an- nounced by Milk Administrator s. Mclean Buckingham today. The new method became effective Octo- Der 1. Previously these Connecticut prices have been based on the price of 92-score butter at Boston as an- nounced by the U. s. department of agriculture. In practice the method has not been entirely sat- isfactory, since Connecticut prices were frequently out of line with competitive prices in the same classes.
 The new method substitutes the Boston cream market as base upon which the Connecticut prices will be set. MT. Buckingham said that he feels the change will keep the price of the Connecticut product in much better relationship with that of competitive milk and cream. So far as consumer is concerned, the changes are of technical nature and will have no appreciable effect on resale prices at the present time. However, the administration feels that in the future 1t may be pos sible to determine resale cream prices more fairly in relation to market conditions through the use of this system than has been possi- ble under the old method.
