CLINIC ATTENDED BY 84 PATIENTS Month’s Record Shows Fight on Tuberculosis Gains. Nursing as a profession has an ardent and efficient sponsor in Miss Marian D. Bell, supervisor of the tuberculosis clinic of Indiana University School of Medicine, conducted In cooperation with the Indianapolis board of health. Miss Bell, who has been supervisor of the clinic for nearly three years, previous to coming to Indianapolis was supervisor for four years of the Milwaukee county hospital where she took her nurse's degree and did post graduate work. “I am very optimistic over the future of our work here,” she declared. “Last month we had eighty-four patients, of which twenty-seven were children under 15 years. Os course, all of them were not tubercular cases, a number merely being sußpects who came to ns for examination. Often we find that a suspect has some other trouble which we can assign to another department for the proper treatent. "In addition to our dally clinic hold from 8 to 10 a. m. we began a night clinic the first of the month which we hold from 6 to 8 Tuesday and Friday nights. This is for men and women only. We find It Is of great assistance to persons who are working and could not otherwise avail themselves of the free medical treatment." In discussing the work of-the clinic. Miss Bell said that In addition to operating the clinic a “follow-up” of the patient and the home conditions surrounding him are conducted. Each afternoon Miss Bell and her four assistants visit the patients' homes, find out the living conditions, advise the proper living arrangements and recommend the proper food. “Our work also includes cooperating with the different organizations of the city,” said Miss Bell. “For instance, if we take a father from his family, we must get in touch with the Mothers' Aid or the Children's AW in order that the family may not suffer. We also examine the applicants for the city fresh air schools, and assist in conducting the Sunnyside examination bureau. Within the next ten days we expect to open a south side clinic at the Jewish Community House, 17 West Morris street. Dr. R. A. Solomon will have charge of this clinic which will be held three days a wejk, and Miss E. Freed will be the nurse in charge.” “I am very anxious that our clinic be a bureau of education and Information as well as a clinic. I want people tp come to us for advice as well as treatment, and I want them to feel that we are always more than glad to assist them in securing medical treatment.” In discussing the type of patients treated by the department" Miss Bell said that while it is conducted for the benefit of persons who cannot afford expensive medical treatment, it is desired that the patients do not feel that they are accepting charity. She said It is very difficult for persons who have at one time been prosperous to be made to feel they are not accepting charity offered to poor people. In regard to the home conditions she said the high cost of living and scarcity of homes is the cause of many unsanitary conditions. "Sometimes we find as many as eight or ten people living in two rooms, or rather, trying to live; for It Is Impossible to live under such conditions," Miss Beil said. Acording to Miss Bell, the nurses have to hunt out many of the cases themselves. Neighbors report sickness In some Instances to the clinic. Much difficulty In getting people to realize their sickness was stressed by Miss Bell, who explained It had been her experience that those who gave the most trouble were the ODes who needed care the most. Miss Bell expressed the desire more women take up nursing as a profession, saying the girl in one sense can not be blamed in taking up work which after six months of training pays her as much as a nurse gets after three years of laborious and tedious application.

Firemen put out the blaze, but not until damage estimated at more than SSOO had been done. Slight damage was caused from water which leaked through the floor Into the drug store of H. F.

DAGGER PUTS AN END TO ROMANCE (Continued From Page One.) that foretold death. The ace of spades, known among fortune tellers as the “death card” and the queen of hearts lay Juxtaposed on the bed coverlet. ROMANCE BEGAN IN LAREDO IN 1919 The romance between Garver and Miss Sanders began in 1919 when they met at Laredo. In the Intervening time they corresponded and Garver sent nearly 200 telegrams containing fervent protestations of love. Several times the girl came from Laredo to Chicago, St. Louis and New York, where she and Garver were together. Garver told the police they were to be married when he got his divorce, but that he had decided to end the romance because Miss Sanders, who was of Spanish ancestry, was “too temperamental.” Among the eccentricities attributed to the girl was the habit of alwa.es wearing the dagger with which she slew herself in the girdle of her gown. Garver formerly was connected with the govetpiment bureau of foreign and domestic commerce and before that was secretary to Secretary of Commerce Alexander when the latter was Congressman from Missouri. Miss Sanders's family is one of the oldest and most prominent in Laredo. LIVED FOR SOME TIME IN ST. LOUIS ST.

URGES CHANGES IN SCHOOL LAWS Compulsory Attendance Act Defective, Graff Says. Among the most Important educational matters which the next State Legislature should take np Is a revision of the compulsory school attendance law. Superintendent of Schools E. U. Graff declared today. A better method of enforcing school attendance and a longer period of compulsory attendance Is needed, the educator said. “It is folly to expect to have the present law enforced with only one truant officer to the county, remunerated with a salary of $2 a day, as provided by law," Mr. Graff stated. “There will have to

The preaent salary will hardly cover postage. “I also believe we should raise our number of grades required to be completed before a pupil may quit school to at least the sixth year. The present requirement Is for the completion of the fifth grade. I hope that ultimately we may see Indiana requiring completion of the common branch, but for the time being we ought to at least require attendance through the sixth grade.” Mr. Graff indicated that he will seek legislation to this effect. greensbt rg farmer hurt.
