A little chilly today, but remember that four months from tonight is Christmas Eve. Summer is about over, but the days are not rolling by any too soon for Warren McCray, former governor of Indiana, who is planning to “come back home” the last of the month. Talking about progress in flying. Arthur Brisbane suggests that both West Point and Annapolis academies be changed to flying schools, doing away with the military and naval training. Friends of Senator Watson will regret to learn that he is confined to the Mayo Brothers hospital. The Senator has been in ill health for some months and seemingly has lost much of the iy»p and enthusiasm which made him one of the headline speakers on the political platform. The race between Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig for the home run honors is attracting about as much attention as the airplane flights and not costing any lives. Americans love competitive contests and the nip and tuck race between the two kings of swat is keeping the fans on . edge. Babe has the lead by one.

The republicans keep wondering every day if President Coolidge will add anything to his “I do not choose” statement, but certain interests are now grooming Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce for the nomination. If Coolidge is sincere in making way for the other candidates, the favorite sons will come In from a dozen states and that's what seems to be worrying the bosses. Here is agais. Fort Wayne is busy at work investigating why so many carp are found dead in the St. Marys river. For years, it seemed, that the local plant of the sugar company was blamed for killing the fish, but since the factory has not operated since last winter, no blame can be traced to this source. The fish have a hard life. It they don’t bite or get hooked, why they just have to be killed anyway. Three hard surfaced roads forming the main approaches to Decatur from the west and south will be built this fall, contracts for their construction being awarded by the county commissioners yesterday. After the roads are completed Decatur will have paved approaches from the west, east, north and south and the improvements will be of public benefit. Good roads make markets accessable and in this regard Decatur is fortunately situated in being surrounded by a system of fine roads and making it easy for the' rural residents and motorists to come here. The state of Indiana, among other things, does not have a state superintendent of public instructions. Recently, Charles Miller, who was elected to the office two years ago, resigned to accept a position as superintendent of the Indianapolis schools at a salary of $9,000. The state job pays only $7,500. Miller refuses to resign, but is drawing pay from only one job, of course the one which pays the moat, and is trying to dictate who shah be appointed. Governor Jackson ' is stubborn about the matter and will not appoint Miller’s candidate, Fred

I Gladden, the assistant superintendent,' so that gives Indiana just another, chance to fight and present the unusual. What we need Is more schools. Petitions are being circulated among the business men of this city asking the owners or operators of the Fort Wayne-Decatur Traction company to resume operation of the Interurban line Ix'tween this city and Fort Wayne. A majority would like to see the Interurban line operated. The line provides passenger and freight communication between the two cities and we doubt if we appreciated the benefits of an interurban line as we should. The petition will be sent to the new owners and favorable action would no doubt please many people in this city. Judge Elbert Gary's will was filed for probate yesterday. Although no value is placed on the estate left by the former chairman of the U. S. Steel Corporation, it is estimated that he left between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. The bulk of Iris estate goes to his wife, two daughters and two grandchildren. In keeping with Gary’s business policy, he added a few paragraphs of advice to his relatives and beneficiaries, which more than likely were points carried out by him in building his huge fortune. He warned against signing notes or bonds for anyone, to refrain from anticipating your income, avoid doubtful investments and in making loans and not to invest when in doubt. Whether you like his advice or not, his relatives will more than likely carryout his wishes. o *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* Wednesday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1927 by U.

X X X xxxxxxxxx x x a x x x x x About Immonlzatlon To the Editor of the Democrat: Sir: Your issue of August 1 contains an article entitled “Child Health,” in wliich it is said that the Adams County Child Health Board is stressing the immunization against diphtheria. Approximately 500,000 children have been immunized against diphtheria in the City of New York, but the following from the Weekly Bulletin of the City of New York Department of Health, June 4, 1927, shews that there has been, during many months, an increase in the case and death rate in New York City from diphtheria: “The mortality as a whole during the week was of the seasonable type —that is, quite low as compared with that of the other seasons. There is a rift in the Hite, however, inasmuch as mortality from one cause —diphtheria — showed a considerable increase, in harmony with an increase that has prevailed from the first week of this year. During the week just closed, there were twenty-four deaths from diphtheria as compared with fourteen last year, an increase of ten deaths. From January 1 to date there have been 345 deaths reported from this cause as compared with 205 deaths in the corresponding period of 1926, an increase of 140 deaths, equivalent to an increase of 41 per cent. I am at a loss to understand the increased mortality from this cause in view of the efforts made to toxin-antltoxinate many of the children in the city." In different issues of “The Journal of the American Medical Association" attention is called by physicians to the dangers of toxin-antitoxin, and the January 9, 1926 number contained:

“ a warning to use care In the administration of serums, derived from horses, to children who have been previously sensitized by injections of diphtheria toxin-antitoxin." The April 2, 1927 number said: “A multiplicity of untoward sequelae have been observed in patients treated with immune serum.” Also on April 3. it was said that: "Until the time arrives when antitoxins can be purified to the point at which their use will not sensitize the patient to animal serums, their use should be reserved for emergencies.” “The Journal of the American Medical Association.” December 6. 1919 reports 40 severe reactions following the administration of toxin-antitoxin in children in Dallas, Texas, followed by five deaths in from 12 to 16 days after administration of the toxin-anti-toxin. and “The Journal of the American Medical Association,” May 24, 1924 reported forty-two children made severely ill fro minjections of torinantitorin at Bridgewater and Concord, Massachusetts. In “The Journal of the American Medical Association,” August 6, 1927, there is an account of the death of a child after pneumonia serum, and it is said: ‘The use of serums 1 merely in accordance with therapeutic analogy must be discarded, since the remedy may prove worse than the disease.” I might also quote to the same effect from many other issues of “The Journal of the American Medical Association” and Public Health Reports,” which I have before me, did I not fear that I would be asking too much space.
