CITY GETS SET TO FIGHT FLU, IF NECESSARY Norses Called Upon to Mobilize for Action Should Disease Spread. Flans for mobilizing the nursing force f Indianapolis for action if an influenza epidemic develops were made yesterdayTile situation is not alarming—the action was taken to meet any emergency that might develop. Fifteen news cases of influenza were reported by the city hoard of health today, making sixty-eiglit in the city which have been reported. Nearly all j of them are in mild form. Wlll.am Fortune, president of the In dlanapolls chapter of the Bed Cross, presided at the meeting. After the meeting a request was made j tfcat. all graduate nurses in the city register with Grace Cook, director of the : central directory for registered nurses, No. 12 Bungalow park. Her telephone numbers are Main 6042 and Auto. 27-41S. READY TO PUT DOWN MENACE. All practical nurses are requested to register at the ' Bed Cross Teaching Center, 413 Chamber of Commerce building, Miss Margaret Scott, director. Her telephone numbers are Auto. 27-752 and Main 2170. Under the leadership of the Bed Cross it is hoped to provide an organization which will work effectively In the event that influenza should become as widespread as during the war. Those present at the conference, in ad-‘ ditlon to Mr. Fortune, were: Miss Agnee Cruze, secretary of the Red Cross chapter; Mrs. AV. F. Holt, chairman of the chapter committee on nurses; Miss Tupper, Public Health Nursing association; Miss Maude Miller. Sunnyside sanatorium ; Miss June Grey, registreed nurse; Miss Margaret Scott, director of the Bed Cross teaching center; E. C. Foster of the Charity Organization society and Dr. H. G. Morgan, city sanitarian. There is a shortage of nurses in Indianapolis at the present time, It was reported, the demand for nurses being Strong always at this time of year. Should the “flu" become serious the nursing problem would be a serious one to solve, it was stated. men must stay AT FT. HARRISON. All officers and enlisted men at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, numbering about 525, have been restricted to the posit to prevent’the spread of the disease. “It is simply- a precautionary measure, * Adjt. Lewis declared, “We have had hut eight or nine cases of Influenza and there have been no deaths. Believing that these cases were contracted In Indianapolis we have restricted the sol diers to the post, except when official business takes them away and have barred civilians.” The 600 nurses in Indianapolis ail are busy now, according to Miss Grace Cook, director of the Central Directory for Registered Nurses. ' "There really Is a shortage of nurses,” said Miss Cook. “Should an epidemic of Influenza develop we would not be able to provide a nurse for every person who is ill, but we want to make plans *o that we can provide a nurse for each household and give each patient attention.” Sdme time ago a survey w:i3 made of the city and all nurses who are not now following the profession but could be called upon in case of an emergency were listed, as far ns possible. The names of others who could be called upon are being sought. -..Dr. W. F. King, assistant secretary of the state board of health, says that there is little “flu” in Indiana. the illness reported as influenza, is,.grippe, he declared. Another encouraging report-today was that the death rate from ruieum >nfn is not’above normal for this time of year.

PRICE OF BREAD TO JIfMF A r ’ENT ,&<** ™ polls '*•'!: ' '•’• - !/’ ™•" for; it* '^ai;. This was lnlicat‘. <1 y ste-day by VLtir . Price Commissioner Stau.-v Y.’yekoflf. He i announced that the Marion county fair I price committee would meet at the Chamber of Commerce at U o’clock tomorrow afternoon to take up the question with : wholesale bakers of the city. The Increase probably will be 1 cent 1 per loaf wholesale, which will lie passed along to the consumer In the form of 1 i cent a loaf Increase. The new price of bread would be j cents per pound loaf and 11 cents for a : 1%-pound loaf, wholesale. The retailer; would be allowed to charge 11 and 16 1 cents, respectively. Investigation of the price of bread and flour has been on for a month, Mr. Wyckoff announced. Tfe stated that the bakers had presented him with their claims and that he had gone into the situation fully before Chairman John T. White of the fair price committee called tomorrow’s meeting. Mr. White was til today and If lie Is qjiable to attend Mr. Wyckoff win preside. The bakers, according to statistics gathered by the fair price commissioner, today are paying $15.50 to sl6 for -white hard wheat flour, out of which they make their bread and rolls, whereas sixty to ninety days ago they paid $13.20 to $11.75 for the same grade of flour. Bakers get 271 loaves of bread from the 196 pounds of flour In a barrel. It takes, according to Mr. WyckofTs figures, 300 pounds of wheat to make 198 pounds of flour. Spring wheat, from which It largely Is made, today was quoted at $3.05 per bushel at Minneapolis. There are 104 pounds of by-prod-ucts obtained from the wheat that goes Into a barrel of flour. The cheaper grades of flour, which make dark loaves, are glutting the warehouses, statistics show. There is no demand for this, and the United States Grain Corporation is now starting a campaign to Influence the public to use it. These grades are quoted at $9.60 to $10.23 per barrel wholesale.

Checkroom Girls Threaten to Bust the Tipping Trust HA/V/VRH 3T/J?£S Jan. j.. —An uprising of pretty checkroom girls threatens to wreck the tipping trust. If suits brought against the exploiters of smiles, and sweet “thankyous” are successful, the practice of using attractive young women as decoys for climes of diners will be pt an mid. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are involved. The girls are not yet acting In unison, but a victory for one means a victory for all, not only in Chicago but in every large city. Miss Hanna Stires asks the Chicago superior court to aid her in recovering $25,425 which she says three men have taken from her In the past two years. Girls are paid from $9 to sls a week, she said, and compelled to turn over ail the tips they receive. Miss Ida Glefke sues the Hotel LaSalle for $5,000 in tips.

They Stay on Job With Whisky Gone CHICAGO, .Tan. 2f>.—Many employes of Chicago are observing that one of the effects of prohibition is to decrease greatly the number of absentees, thereby Increasing production and sending thousands of dollars into circulation for the benefit of storekeepers and others. That prohibition is now believed to be an important economic asset to any community is indicated by a statement of an' employer of 1,500 men, who says that dry conditions have reduced absentees and that prohibition “is the greatest thing that could have happened to the country.” The employment manager of one of the largest Industrial plants In Chicago said the closing of the saloons has cut down Monday morning absentees at least 00 per cent and has helped the workers In many ways.

Senator .Wadsworth’ said the bill will be taken up in the senate probably next week. It provides four months’ army training for ail youths. DEPUTIES POSTPONE QUIZ.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1920.

GOVERNOR SETS ASIDE WEEK TO . AID TEACHERS Newspapers, Ministers and Clubs Urged to Consider Conditions in Profession. The week of March 7 to 14 has been proclaimed “Teachers’ week” by Gov, Goodrich. He asks that during this week consideration be given to the matter of the supply and the rewards of teachers and that “the press, the pulpit, societies, clubs and educational and social agencies , lend every encouragement and aid, setting aside an appointed time during the week for this purpose.” In his proclamation the governor sets out the necessity for more teachers for the Indiana schools and for encouraging young people to become teachers. MANY TEACHERS LEAVING PROFESSION. “A grave emergency threatens the schools,” he says. supply of trained and competent teachers Is everywhere decreasing. Due to the stress of unsettled economic conditions, teachers are leaving the ranks of a noble and underpaid profession. Disintegration of teaching staffs, deterioration of teaching personnel are imminent. If depletion and depression continue, the schools must suffer decline. “Asa result of a false but widespread social attitude with respect to teaching, new recruits are not coming forward to fill the gaps. Young people are taught to disparage teaching, to shun its work as A life pursuit. Teachers’ courses In normal schools and college are discouragIngly ill attended. Students in high schools are looking to other callings. A shortage even more acute may be upon us another year.” The governor points out that this con dltion is not peculiar to Indiana, but is a situation which . may bring about a national calamity. “Nearly 700,000 children are in the schools of Indiana,” he continues. "These are the citizens of tomorrow. Thetr Ideas and Ideals are taking shape for future action. The world problems of the new times ahead demand that these children receive even better school training than the children of yesterday. We must act today to save the schools. We must s-o that they continue to be the chief bulwark of the republic.” The problem of obtaining sufficient teachers Is the principal one before the state department of public instruction and before school superintendents In all parts of Indiana. The 1919 legislature provided for an increase In the pay of school teachers and the state board of education has suggested another increase. Members of the board admit that the schools of Indiana are going down hill because of the lack of competent instructors. MAKING SURVEY OF INDIANA SCHOOLS. Also in line with school betterment, the state department of public Instruction Is ranking a survey of one-teacher country schools. In order to bring about an Improvement in conditions ip rural communities. Questionnaires, each containing several hundred questions, ar* being sent to the teachers of these schools. The questions are listed under forty-two general heads and cover every conceivable angle, of school conditions. Some of the subjects to which these questlous apply are buildings, closets, playgrounds, heating, Janitor service, lighting, window shades, walls, seats and desks, water, drinking cups, health, length of school terms, age of pupils in various grades, attendance, recitations, games, boys’ and girls' clubs, par-ent-teacher associations, cc-cnmunity interest*. special supervision, supplementary and reference books, library, maps? pictures, primary supplies, agriculture, home economics, industrial arts, music, drawing, <eju>*rlence and training of feathers' licenses, teachers sal-' aries, and cost per pupil for instruction. POLICE LOSE BOOZESTORE Booze in possession of the Indianapolis police department will be taken into custody by federal prohibition forces, according to Charles J. Orblson, special agent to enforce prohibition. Mr. Orblson asked the police for nn inventory of all liquor on hand yes terday. He said that all liquors will be dispensed under his direction In the future. Some will be allofed to hospitals for medical use and a great quantity fed to the sewers. Bar Kiddies Under 12 from Street Work A city ordinance requiring all boys under the age of 12 years and girls under the age of 16 to take out a permit to engage In street trades was signed and put into effect by Mayor Charles VV\ Jewett today. The ordinance was passed at the last meeting of the city council and provides that children within the age limits shall ■not engage in 6treet trades before the hour of 5 a. m. or after the hour of 8 p. m., unless selling extra editions of news.papers. W. A. Hacker, who Is now In charge of school attendance at the school administration building, was appointed to receive applications and issue permits to children desiring to engage In the street trades.

Old Age Deferred BY DU. LEE H. SMITH. Business men who must speed up the works and make business boom during these days—after the war —must recognire the necessity of keeping fit. When mind is befogged, when you haw dull headaches or feel logy, when not “up to snuff,” keep the bowels free with a mild laxative. In the morning take a tepid sponge bath (cold water may be used if it does not chill), follow with a brisk rub down; a sufficient “setting up” exercise in good air until you are in a warm glow. Have you tried it lately? Don’t let the poisons accumulate in the intestines either, but try a dose of castor oil the first thing on arising, or a pleasant laxative occasionally, such as one made up of May-apple, aloin and jalap, rolled into a tiny sugar-coated pill, and sold in every drug store as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellfets. Then a cup of hot water before breakfast, and you’ll feel better than a king! If you continue in life thus, you can pass a Life Insurance examination at sixty. If you wish to prevent old age coming on too soon, or if you want to increase your chances for a long life, you should drink plenty of soft (rain) or distilled water daily between meals. Then procure at the drug store Dr. Pierce's Anuric (anti-uric-acid). This “Anuric” drives the uric acid out and relieves backache and rheumatism, as well as

DEMAND FOR CARS SWAMPS ALL RAILROADS Shortage General, Says Pennsylvania - Line Official— Business Greatest Ever. Railroads in Indiana are swamped with calls for cars. Business is so heavy they are unable to handle It. Thi3 was the assertion today of J. L. Doer, chief clerk to J. W. Coneys, superintendent of terminals for the Pennsylvania lines, in discussing complaints from Indiana shippers that they are unable to get cars. Business is the heaviest in the history of the railroads. Mr. Coneys is out of the city. There is a marked shortage of refrigerator cars, automobile cars and box cars in general. Much freight that could be shipped" in ordinary cars during milder weather must, at this time of year, be shipped in refrigerator cars, Mr. Doerr said. This is particularly true of potatoes and other vegetables and canned goods. NOT ENOUGH AUTOMOBILE CARS. There has been complaint from a number of Indiana automobile companies to the railroad administration that they had exhausted their storage space and were facing a shutdown unless they get cars. Os this class of cars Mr. Doerr said there was a shortage due to the fact that the demand for automobiles Is so great that the equipment can not be obtained to haul them. Repair men are working day and night in every railroad shop repairing equipment and trying to keep it moving. They are turning out the cars as rapidly as possible but are unable to keep up with the demand for box cars In which to ship grain. There has been much complaint on this score from the Indiana Grain Dealers' association. The Indianapolis market, according to W. B. Riley of the association, is getting forty to fifty cars of grain daily when with an ample supply of cars It should get 150 to 200. The same is true in Chicago and other grain markets, he said. Mr. Riley laid the car shortage partly to the fact that old cars are much lighter than the new equipment built in the last two or three years and the railroads will not put the light cars in the same trains with heavy steel cars. MINERS’ STRIKE CAUSED SHORTAGE. There lias been a serious shortage of coal cars ever since the miners’ strike, he declared. On only a few days has the Pennsylvania railroad been able to snpply the mines along its lines with JOO per cent of their needs. At present approximately 60 per cent of the needs is being supplied. The railroads are doing everything in their power to remedy the situation, Mr. Doerr said. Repair forces are working day and night to keep the equipment rolling. Car manufacturers are workiug witboirt letup turning out new equipment but the needs can not be met. One of the causes for the shortage in coal cars, according to Mr. Doerr, is the fact that so many coal cars were diverted from the original consignees and held loaded that they have never ail been returned to the mines. The demand for coal is so great that the mines simply have to wait, after loading a car, until It can reach its destination, be unloaded and returned. New Ideas Disclosed to Real Estate Men The Indianapolis Real Estate board will have a double-header program at its weekly luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce today. William E. Bash, the national committeeman of the local board, will tell the realtors of Indianapolis what he learned at the meeting of the executive committee of the National AsRocintlou of Real Estate boards held in Chicago recently. Albert Stump, a local attorney, and an executive of the Better Business bureau, will talk on “The Value of Good Will in Business” Mr. Stump will also tell about the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, who will have a convention here In June.

IGNORANT OF LAW, SAYS PROSECUTOR Deputy Admits in Court He’s Stumped by Liquor Case. With Deputy Prosecutor Ralph Spaan pleading ignorance of the law relating to the state and national prohibition regulations, arguments in the case of J. W. Miller, 50, charged with operating a whisky still in White river bottoms near Big Eagle creek, yesterday went over until Friday morning. "Judge, I don’t know how the law reads on this matter,” Spaan told Judge Pritchard In city court. He made this statement Just before he asked that the state be permitted to present Its case and permit the defense to make arguments to quash the charges later. Attorneys for Miller said they would take steps to have the case dismissed on the grounds that such prosecution interferes with the law provided in the eighteenth constitutional Charles J. Orbison, federal prohibition enforcement officer for Indiana, recently said that the federal law does not necessarily supersede the state law* in such cases as that of Miller. Sergt. Bates told the court how he and Mounted Patrolmen Shine and Kurrasch had visited Miller’s place and found close to seven gallons of white corn whisky. Miler has a small house near where Eagle ere k enters into White river and Sergt. Bates believes he Is still turning out whisky. At the time of the raid the police were not able to find the still, hut confiscated parts of colls. “I was foolish to have that stuff,” the police said Miler told them. U. S.

For over four years a young Greek in America had not heard from his aged mother, who lived in • Constantinople. Eagerly he watched the mails for a letter. Month after month he sent her money for food and clothing, but never knew whether she received it or not. Four years passed without a word from his dear old mother %nd he was frantic with grief and despair. Then the war ended and he hastened home on the first boat that sailed for Constantinople to find out if his mother was still alivi. The terrible strain of the war has affected nearly everyone. American fathers and mothers have suffered in silence, waiting day and night for some word from their boys far away in the army. Thousands of foreign-born Americans have waited m vain for a letter from their father, mother, sister or brother across the sea in war-torn Europe. Grief gripped their hearts when they thought of their loved ones Told, hungry and despairing amid their ruined homes and the graves of their dead. How could they laugh when they were sick at heart? How could they help grieving as day after day went by and no letter came. The mother, whose son was grievously wounded and at the point of death somewhere in France, could not go to her boy. She could but wait and pray for him. With the clutch of fear at their hearts and nerves strained to the breaking point, many fathers and mothers have bravely smiled, but the strain and suspense have brought the gray hairs, lowered their vitality, exhausted their strength and undermined their health.
