Mayor Ridicules Judd and Nair For Stand on Charter Changes Declares Council Should Take Definite Action and Not Refer Amendments to Assemhly Group. An cffort to have proposed char- ter amendments forwarded to the New Britain members of the legis- lation without action by the com- mon council was defeated last night | when Councilman William D. Boyle’s motion to table until a spe- clal meeting is called was passed. The report of the revision com mittee had been submitted in print- ed form and Alderman John P. Maerz of the sixth ward moved adoption. Alderman Willlam H. Judd of the third ward made it known that he would vote with the sixth warder but would reserve the right to appear before the legisla- ture in opposition to any amend- ment he did not favor. Paonessa Raps Judd and Nair “The alderman from the third ward has made a very ridiculous | statement,” Mayor Paonessa declar- ed opening fire on the suggestion. *“These amendments have been pre- sented to us for acceptance or re- Jection and it is up to us to decide which are for the best interest of the city and which are not. This is the place to do whatever arguing there is to be done and when action 1s taken it is our duty to stand by the decision.” Alderman David L. Nair of the first ward ameaded to accept the report and refer it to the legislative representative from this city, where- upon Mayor Paonessa again took the floor to say: “Another bit of nonsense! Do yon want to act here tonight, or do you want to ‘pass the buck’? The alder- man from the first should know better; he was a member of the charter revision committee.” At this point the mayor was in- terrupted by Alderman Nair who jumped to his feet and demanded that personalities be eliminated from the discussion. Councilman Bamuel Sablotsky who was acting as chairman, banged the gavel and or- dered Alderman Nair to sit dow while the mayor resumed his dis- course, Councflman Boyle, explaining he has had no opportunity to study the proposed amendments, moved that they be tabled until the mayor calls a special meeting, and this motion was carried. Sunday Aftcrmoon Roller Skating Peter Agostini petitioned for a permit to conduct S8unday afternoon roller skaging in Jester's hall on Arch streét, and his application was forwarded to the committee on li- censes for hearing. Te_petition of Councilman Adam Ziegler for police protection or traf- fic lights at the intersection of South Main and Ellis street, and at Cherry Hill and Whiting streets, was forwarded to the police com- mission for action. The health department proposc: that Dr. B, D. Radcliffe be appoint ed to the combined positions of mil’ and food inspector and meat inspec tor, the malary to be $4,000, whicl is $350 more than the present com bined salaries. Do these two Alderman Judd proposed that the health departmenit be heard on the | proposition, but Councilman Boyle |said that the salary committee was ments. The resolution was then re- ferred to the committee on salaries. H. S Bonds Up Again ‘When Corporation Counsel J. Kirkham submitted a schedule showing the method of payments on a $540,000 bond issue for the senior high school addition, a roll call vote was ‘taken, and in spite of the fact that the issue has been approved over the veto of the mayor, it was | founa impossible to obtain a unani- mous vote. Aldermen Johnson and Zapatka and Councilmen Sablotsky and Samorajezyk voted against the issue, but it was adopted. A vote on Alderman Zapatka's motion to table the police board's request for a lieutenant in the de- tective bureau, while it was defeat- ed, gave indication of considerable opposition to the movement. vote stood 13 for tabling and 14 for referring to the ordinance commit- tee, with the vote split between the two parties, On motion of Councliman John | A. Larson, it was voted to pay Mary | Edwards Fanion, $68.75 for dam- ages to an automobile, attributed to a highway defect. The claim of John Radzevicus for damages to his car while it was being driven by Patrolman John O'Brien, following an accideni, was rejected. By unanimous vote, the vacation period for firemen was from seven to 14 days. This propo- sal was made to the council and {the ordinance committee by the fire {board at the request of Chief Wil- liam J. Noble, sponsor of the in- creased vacation movement. Salary Increases Adopted The entire schedule of salary in- |creases proposed by the council's committee was adopted after a movement to consider each salary on the list was defeated. Chairman Clarence H. Maxon's motion to adopt was amended by | Alderman John F. Maerz to have each salary considered on its own merits. It had been planned to rec- jommend increased wages for sev- eral who received scant considera- tion from the committee but the vote against this proposal was over- whelming. Judge Kirkham presented a charter amendment to vest the mayor and aldermen with power to compromise or rebate sewer assess- Several other - proposals for amendments were referred to the revision committee on motion of Alderman Johnson. Councilman Boyle and others pro- posed that the ordinance committee |consider extensions in the fire limits and it was voted to so instruct the | | committee, Resolutions on the death of ' {Councllman Albert N.

OUTLINES TASKS ATTHE AGE OF % Professor at Chicago University Has Three Major Problems Chicago, Jan. 17 (M—At the age the vercity of Chicago, who computed the speed of light, has outlined |three major tasks for himself. One of his “jobs,” he said, will be a new measurement of light speed, to bring a computation even more accurate than before. Prof. Michelson already has measured the . speed of light and his calculation of 186,284 miles a second is accept- 'ed as being “right within a single | mile."” Now he is secking “utter ap- as I can attain.” Prof. Michelson also will attempt to perfect a method by which the diameter of stars may be measured with greater exactness. His third undertaking is to be o final test of the Einstein theory ot Irelativity, a théory based on Prof Michelson’s own calculations. Last November he expressed doubt of the correctness of Einstein but now he is “almost convinced” that Einstein is right in the belier of the nonexistence of what sclence terms ether, He plans to return to Mt. Wilson observatory in California on termi- nation of his lecture course at the university a month hence. When he completes these three undertakings Prof. Michelson said he may enjoy “a bit of leisure.” ! In explaining his love for the |science to which he has devoted his long life, he said: ments. His resolution was adopted. | | “It is the pitting of one's brain against bits of fron, metals an ,(‘ry!t:lll and making them do wha |you want them to do.

And again at night when you come home. Don’t be afraid to use it frecly. It will do no harm. And then stop worrying. You've done all you can to safeguard yourself, “‘Put Mistol up your nose. There's 8 special dropper that comes in every package that makes it very easy to use. Just tile your head back and drop it in your nose until you feel i in your throat. You'll notice the pleasant, cleansing effect ac once. Mistol clears your head and makes breathing easy. It has a healing, soothing effect on the membranes and relicves any irritation or inflam- mation. It helps dry up a running nose. Use it, too, as a gargle. Mistol is good for a sore throat or hacking cough. And above all, protects the nose and throat against germs. *‘Don’t wait till you begin to sneeze ot your throat aches. Take my advice and get & bortle of Mistol today.
