‘PLAGUE’ DEATH TOLL DROPS 165 IN FIVE YEARS Encouraging Results Shown in County Tuberculosis Report. MUCH YET TO BE DONE Asa criterion of the success -which has attended the efforts of the Marion County Tuberculosis Association to stamp out the ‘-white plague’’ during the seven years of its life the fact that the number of deaths from the disease in the count? has been reduced from 637 in 1914 to 472 In 1919 is pointed out in the annual report of the association. The report was prepared by Miss Mary A. Meyers, executive secretary, and has been sent to more than one hundred oiganizatlons interested in the work of the association The Christmas seal, through the sale of which the association finances its work, is paying for itself in lives saved, but there is infinite work yet to be done, the report states. One death in every ten In Marion County still is caused by tuberculosis. There are at least 6,009 cases in the county and every case is known to infect from two to ten well persons. The actual money loss in the county from the ravages of the disease runs into millions of dollars. Among the most important accomplishments of the association during the past year has been the vital assistance rendered in the securing from the county council of an appropriation of $350,006 for the erection of two more buildings at Sunnyside sanitorium, the report says. 45 BEDS ADDED TO INSTITUTION' These new buildlngr will house fortyfive beds for children and seventy-two beds for advanced cases, both colored and white, and their addition to the plant will mean that Marion County is among the leaders of the country in this phase of tuberculosis prevention work. Health education, an increased tax levy for tuberculosis work by the city board of public health, better facilities for the fresh air public schools and splendid curative work through the tuberculosis clinics are among achievements which the association points to with pride. Specifically the report sets forth the enlistment of the aid of more than one hundred organizations, such as civic groups, labor unions, women's clubs, lodges and business men's bodies, as one of the big steps forward! Each of these has appointed a “health chairman” to cooperate in the 1921 work. The prevention of tuberculosis among the working people, a phase of the work which has not been given proper attention heretofore, is being carefully worked out by an industrial secretary, who is placing exhibits and holding meetings all over the cour.t^.
BESCLTg IX CITY SCHOOLS INTERESTING. Among the most interesting features of the report is the statement of results obtained la the modern health crusada conducted in the public schools. A total of 42,165 school children were enrolled in the movement and as a result 11,304 who were not previously in the habit of washing their bands before eating are now doing so, 7,153 have purchased toothbrushes, 4,163 have stopped drinking coffee and tea, 4.353 sleep with their windows open and 5,707 have been noted to have improved their personal appearance. The success of the Flauner Guild house clinic, established by the association in February, 1919, and operated by it until August of this year, when it was taken over by the city, is indicated by the fact that 290 new patients were examined. 756 returned for treatment, 3,138 visits to homes were made by the nnrsea. sixteen were turned over to Dr. Hatch's clinic and ten were sent to Sunnyside. The central clinic report shows that 722 new patients were examined, 2.252 returned from treatment and 2,198 visits to homes were made by nurses. VIOUK OF VARIOUS BRANCHES PR-VISED. The work at the Lucretla Mott and Theodore Potter fresh air schools, conducted by the board of school commissioners, is praised, as is the work of the Indianapolis School Lunch Association, which directed the work of furnishing milk lunches to pupils lu fifty-one schools last year. From various sources the association has received reports of returned soldiers afflicted with tuberculosis. These cases in Marlon County totaled 131, In eleven of which death has since resulted, twentyfour have been under the care of individual physicians, ten under the care of Government physicians, fifteen in Government sanatoriums, seven under observance at the association's clinic, thirty-two examined at the clinic, seven treated at Eunayside and twenty-thive are receiving compensation insurance.

‘Baby DolVNotNew Invention by Some 300 Years or More Creations Interesting Children From Earliest History Related by Doll Man. If you were a doll would you prefer to be a Red Cross nurse or a Japanese lady with a geneoiogy several huodred years old? Ferbaps you would rather take your choice between an Egyptian relic and a colonial dame. Anyway, you can have your choice, according to J. C. Rubens of New York City, who made an address at the John Herron Art Institute yesterday on “Five Thousand Y'ears of Dolls.” Mr. Rubens, who illustrated his talk with colored slides, traced the history of “dolly" from her earliest known recollections in Egypt through all the races of the world down to the modern lady doll who talks and walks Just like a “real live” person. In his talk Mr. Ilubens pointed out that the children, meaning girls, had always desired dolls as near like human beings as they knew them to be, resenting anything which was not this reproduction. He showed slides of ancient dolls taken from the tombs of children who lived come five thousand years ago. One of the striking ‘‘dollies" had onehalf of its head shaved with hair on the other in imitation of the children of that era. There were ceremonial dolls who were thrown into the river by children who’ committed some childish act of naughtiness. There were Egyptian doll* minus a leg or an arm. because the mothers were superstitious that a perfect reproduction of a human being would bring bad luck. For the sntno reason some dolls had no heads. Then, there wa* a bone doll made .300 B. C. According to Mr. Rnbens, the man that thought he was entirely original when he invented the famous “baby doll" missed his guess; for the same doll, in a crude form, plus all the curves, was made more than 300 years ago. Talking about high-class dolls, the graceful, artistic poses of the dolls of Elam, modeled after the high-bred court ladles, was aomethlng wonderful to behold. In more recent times there were costumed dolls continuing into the late eighties Mr. Rubens disillusioned the popular idea of an Indian doll, by saying that they are made of clay or mud, not of buckskin trimmed with brilliant beads. He also showed slides of the oldfaahioned corn husk dolls of the English harvest time, Welsh dolls, Turkish dolls. Chinese and Japanese doila, each dressed to represent the garbs of the people of those countries Mr. Rubens said that the English word "doll” is derived from a Scotch root from which comes the name Dorothy, which Is a very popular name among the Scotch. He advocated circulating museums of dolls for children as an educational feature, pointing out the success they have met with in a number of eastern cities. “The little girls will learn how to make them clothes; they will be taught order and will become interested in history through them,” aald Mr. Rubens.

CHAPTER XCVUI. “I suppose that was my underlying motive,” I agreed wearily. "Y'ou know mighty well it was! 1 won't stand for your funny business, Anne. Y'ou raise a row over a blue robe that Tom Mason leaves here—you fling my money back into my face. And then you let Anthony Norreys stake you to a hundred a week"— “Jim —how dare you?

Mr. Norreys is giving his money to the canteen to buy food for soldiers wha can t make their pay reach”— “Oh, is he?" Jim's voice nicked out the words with ugly scorn. “Old Norreys is a down-aud-outcr who can't get a woman in any way except through their sympathy, and I won’t have him buying his way into my wife’s good graces by posing as a noble philanthropist. Now you remember that!” "Perhaps yon think I'm going to deprive the canteen of this flue endowment just to suit you?" I questioned with curt sarcasm. “I know mighty well you are. And now take yvur ten dollars and cut out the high-saluting nonsense. I may be working for Norreys, but that doesn't give him the right to ruin my wife's life—and mine. I'll have him understand he can Just cut out the interference." “The interference?” I said slowly—my mind working along a step at a time. “The Interference—you mean sending Miss West to Boston!
