PLAGUE CLINIC rASKS EXTENSIVE NEW FACILITIES Five Recommendations for City War on Tuberculosis Made in Report. CHILDREN CONSIDERED Five recommendations for additional /ncillties for the treatment of tuberculoma In Indianapolis were made in the inaual report of the Indianapolis free tuberculosis cHnlc, made to the cits board of health today by Miss Marion D. Bell, nurse In charge of the clinic. Thousands of cases in the homes and tn the clinics had been examined by Mist BUI, who summed up the city’s needs as follows: 1. A preventorium or convalescent _b.ospltal for women and children. Jh 2. „ Fresh air schools or open winftr" rooms in every district of the where anaemic or pre-tubereulo- | lons children may have the benefit of curative open-air treatment. 5. Additional nurses so they can visit and keep under supervision all cases reported to the board- of health, 1 together with branch clinics In the outlying districts, particularly in the southwest part of the city and Brlghtwood. where many negroes live. 4. Establishment of a night clinic, two nights weekly at first, to provide proper care for workers w ho can not attend the morning clinics. 6. Provision of mote hospital beds for tuberculars, especially for colored persons. Miss Bell points out that there are mi(n.v vomen In Industry suffering from overwork and privations who could be ipared long weeks of illness if given Institutional care. The effects of a presentorium on the child life of the comnunity would be enormous, she declares. DISEASE EXTENSIVE !K COLORED HOMES. There are now available in Marion •ounty twenty-five beds for advanced tujercular white persons and seven for coined victims. The percentage of colored tomes in which there is tuberculosis is Mtreniely high, she says. Thirty-nine per cent of all eases diaglosed during the year from “post flu” conditions, according to the eport. New cases totaled 722 and 2.19S cases vere visited. Forty-nine and one-half per cent of he cases diagnosed were traceable to 'ontact with other tubercular persons, he report says. Forty per cent of the ses were males, 31.3 per cent were marted, 45 per cent were undr 15 years old, cent were foreigners and 24.5 HI ceTit were colored. jThirty per cent of the patients were lent to the Flower Mission for treatment, B 6 were sent to Sunnyside and two were pent to the county poor farm. I "Ninety-five per cent of the incipient cases have improved and 5 per cent have peen lost trace of,” says the report. I‘Fifty per cent of the moderutely advanced have improved, 40 per cent unimproved, 3 per cent have died and 7 per pent have been lost trace of. Sixty-seven per cent of the far advanced acses have Hied, 0 per cent improved, 27 per cent Imimproved and 10 per cent lost trace of. I "During the year nineteen soldiers and Bailors were examined. Several have been pent to government sanatoriums through !of the Red Cross Home Service lent. IXU CASES ’ HANDLED. he many 'post flu’ cases attendcllnic, the greater number were nontuberculous, but the post as were so similar to incipient osis that they were advised to i same hygienic treatment and ide rapid recovery, e is a marked decrease in the of colored patients attending the due to the fact that a branch raa established last year at the house for colored people only, ajorlty of cases were laborers, ves, cooks and waiters.

TAX SHACKLES HIT SCHOOL PROGRAM (Continued From Page One.) which the legislature, the press, and the taxpayers themselves, have expressed approval of the purposes of this board, and it seems to me that the tax board should at once be made acquainted with the obstacles that threaten to thwart the accomplishment of the people’s desires, and asked to give increased bond authorisation for buildings already designated.” DEPLORES SMALL WAGES TO TEACHERS. Mr. Crippin also advocated the maintenance of an efficient teaching corps and deplored the condition that has caused the school city to lose many experienced teachers and because the school board was unable to pay salaries in keeping with those of other cities. He said the board has gone its limit to establish a reasonable wage scale and hoped that by next September the board would be able to put in effect a wage scale adopted last June that compares with other cities equal in size to Indianapolis. The problem of supplying text books to students was also taken up, the speaker pointing to the defects in the present system bt distribution, which prevents many students from obtaining

CLARENCE E. CRIPPEN. needed books for weeks and months, and thus seriously impedes their progress in studies. Mr. Crippln recommended that some plan be devised by which the school superintendent may obtain an adequate supply of books for the September term in July and arrange for their distribution In the city schools. This system would be in compliance with the laws of the state governing : schools. It was also urged by the speaker that a standard cost finding system be established so that the board may be informed at all times as to the cost of various operations under control of the board. He said a very considerable sum of money was expended each year for alterations and repairs on buildings and equipment, this work being done sometimes by school employes and sometimes by contractors. It was suggested that the cost for such work be standardized in an effort to cut down expense of operation. Mr. Crippin recommended that the board, at an early date, consider the sale of valuable property now being held that | Is no longer necessary or desirable for school use. The old library, in which school administration offices are maintained, is worth approximately §500,000. If sold and the proceeds placed on interest the school city would receive an enormous income. Avery low estimate of the value I of the building, placed at §400.000. loaned on interest of 6 per cent, would bring an ! income to the school city of $24,000 per year. An adequate administration building could be constructed for about $50,000. Mr. Crippin also recommended an ex- | tended use of school buildings for purposes of community buildings, the resumption of football in the Indianapolis high schools, prompt attendance at meetj ings and full publicity of all affairs con- - nected with the school city. The following committees for the year were announced by Mr. Crippin. Instruction—Julia B. Tutewiler, chairman ; Charles L. Barry, B. S. Gadd. Finance —Charley L. Barry, chairman; W. D. Allison.

He was awakened from a sound sleep by the crash which tore open his door. Three men catapulted in, one dived under the bed, another got behind a trunk and the third bid behind a door. A clatter of hurrying footsteps and four policemen, flourishing revolvers and electric torches, rushed into the room and peered into the clothes closet and under the carpet. Another clatter, and three firemen, armed with fire axes and monkey wrenches were in the room. Lewis sat with hands to his head, wildeyed, as the policemen and firemen dragged the three from their hiding places and bundled them off. “It’s all right,” said one officer on the way out “These guys were pulling a holdup near the Are house when we came along and they ran In here to hide."

AYRES’ CLERKS HEAR LECTURE William P. Green Tells of Good Will Benefits. Six meeting* were oil the schedule of the Better Business Bureau's campaign to increase membership, funds and influence today. William P, Green, organization secretary of the national vigilance committee of the Associated Advertising Clwbs of the World, spoke upon the general subject of “Good Will In Business” at each gathering. Three groups of sales people and one of buyers, including more than 400 employes In all, heard Mr. Qrcon at L. S. Ayres & Cos. this morning. The importance of maintaining good will through truthful representation of the quality of merchandise and courteous treatment of customers was emphasized. Employes who know and act upon the knowledge of the value of satisfied customers are the ones who get ahead In every mercantile establishment, he said.

“The Better Business Bureau is a direct asset to this store and every other store because it is building up a greater cash drawer value In the advertising of this store,” said Mr. Green. “The Better Business Bureau watches advertising in order to weed out the untruthful. The more dependable advertising is the more people will respond to it and the more profitable it will be.” At noon Mr. Green spoke at length before the Kiwanls club at the Hotel Severln, upon “Truth 4n Advertising,” “Good Will la Business” movements, showing how the Better Business Bureau operates tn Indianapolis. He addressed the employes of the Fieteher Savings and Trust Company late today. CELEBRATES 10STH BIRTHDAY.

DRAWING JURY TODAY IN TRIAL OF NEWBERRY Snowbound Veniremen and Late Defendants Reach Grand Rapids Court Scene. MORE DELAY SOUGHT GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Jan. 28.—Preliminary skirmishing out of the way in the trial of United States Senator Truman H. Newberry and his assistants in federal court here on vote fraud charges, work of Jury selection was expected to start today. Twenty-five members of the Jury panel and seven defendants froth the northern peninsula of Michigan, who were snowbound yesterday, are on hand. The defense is anxious to procure further delay due to the illness of James 0. Murfln of Detroit, one of the chief Newberry attorneys. Murfln was Newberry’s attorney for many years. , Judge Clarence W. Session, sitting in. the case, indicated he would not grant a postponement on account of illness of attorneys unless in a very exceptional case. Messages from Murfin'a physician today stated he would not be able to be in court until Saturday at least. In the group of defendants, all classes and nationalities are represented. One negro and one Indian are among those on trial. Because of great interest In the trial, and because of the extreme bitterness of the 1918 primaries when. Newberry defeated Henry Ford for the United States senate, the selection of a Jury probably ■will extend over several days. It was during the primary and general elections of 1918 that the alleged fraud took place. The panel being weeded out by Judge Sessions consists of 120 men. Judge Sessions outlined the usual method of selecting the jury. The government will have six peremptory challenges and the defense ten. Louis A. Mclntyre, the first member of the panel examined, was asked if he had any prejudice against enforcement of laws limiting the amount of money which might be spent In a political campaign or against laws prohibiting buying votes. He said be did not. Mclntyre asked to be excused on business grounds, saying he was a beekeeper; that his bees were in the cellar and would have to “be removed before warm weather” or would be a total loss.

New Holland Rich Buy Old Paintings LONDON, Jan. 28.—Dutchmen who piled up guilders during the war are buying up all the old Dutch masterpieces they can lay hands on in England. gome Holland firms are said to be buying on behalf of German clients, who are putting their money into art objects in order to escape taxation. The pictures especially sought are thoM valued at from SI,OOO to $3,000 each. The Dutchmen are buying usually not later than the seventeenth century masterpieces of such artists as Tenier, Jacob Ruysdael, H. and John Both, Peter DeAlbert Cuyp, Vander Velde and Van Heyden. There is an unprecedented buying by Americans of the better known masterpieces at exceptionally high prices. English are dealers say that when the “supply” of the better paintings are gone there will be a great boost In the value of the pictures by less well known artists of bygone days.
