TYPHOID FEVER SAID TO SHOW UPWARDTREND Indianapolis Has Second Highest Death Rate, According to Chart. Typhoid fever Is on a slightly upward carve In Indianapolis, a chart showing the variations In the death rate a hundred thousand ot population each year for the last tcwnty-two years, prepared by • Tom Johnson, chief clerk of the board public health. The rate In 1919 dropped to the lowest point in Indianapolis has ever had, 4.54 deaths. In 1920 It climbed to 0.59 and in 1921 rose to 7.07. The chart shows, however, typhoid has not been nearly so deadly an enen.y of Indianapolis citizens in the last ten years as it was In the precdlng decade. Ia tho ten years ending with 1911, an average of 25.28 persons out of each 100,000 of population died from typhoid each year. In the ten years ending with 1921, the average annual rate was 12.99. A remarkable decrease in the rate is shown In the past five years over the five years preceding this. In the halfdeeade ending with 1916, the average annual rate was 19.35. From 1917 to 1921, inclusive, the average annual rate was 6 63. Epm Franc niT CITY IX 1910. A severe typhoid epidemio struck the city in 1913. The rate for that year was 25.26, The epidemic stirred the city health department to action, and the next year the rate dropped to 8-36 and has not been above seven since until in 192 L The epidemic of 1916 was traced chiefly tc typhoid being carried in milk I from the home of a producer where a member of the family had the disease and ] to bathing In Fall Creek. The health department took steps to prevent the recurrence of either of these causes aDd also immunized hundreds of people. While the rate is nothing to compare with what It was ten years ago, Indianapolis has the second highest In the counfry in which more of its population, per ■pO,O(X) died In 1921 than Indianapolis, “he rate was 8, as compared with tho local 7.07. PAYS HIGH DEATH RATE IS EX NECESSARY. “Indianapolis might Just as well have a typhoid rate of one or two,” said Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the board of public health. “On the other band, conditions are such any time the rate might shoot up to twenty-five or twenty-six. a It did in 1916. When we have the number of open -vaults we have in Indianapolis, we can have an epidemic of alarming propc M ons at any time. The only way we k<"-;> it town at ail time. The clean and lime, cleat' and lime, all the time, which means s-wenty-fire loads of night soil a day are hauled through the streets of Indlanspolls end dumped on Seilers Farm. When this city is properly paved, sewered and homes equipped with sanitary arrangements for disposing of filth we shall not have to worry about typhoid epidemics. I'ntil then we shall always be on the anxious seat.”

DR. ALEY TELLS STUDENTS NOT TO DIE ON ‘3D’| Uses Baseball Term to Drive Home Meaning in Address at Bloomington. Special to The Times. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 22—Education should bo the first ideal of every college and university, said Dr. Robert Judson Aley, president of Butler College, speaking at Indiana University convocation exercises here todhy on tho subject, “College Ideals.” Dr. Aley also addressed the Bloomington Rotary* Club and the pupils of Bloomington High School. "The college was founded for the purpose of education," suid Dr. Aley. "Education has permitted it to live, and if the college is to take its place as a necessity of life in the future, it must continue its first function—education. “The successful college should provide a retreat for scholars,” Dr. Aley continued, "where those who wish to devote their time and talents to study may do so, and also where education may be advanced as It cannot be advauced in secondary schools.” “Progress, Individually or nationally, eoipes only after hard work. Usually the price paid iu work is greater than the fact value of tho result. But success In little things leads to astouudlng success later. Sometimes about a college one hears of a high grade as being ’accidental’ or ‘lucky.’ Nothing worth-while in life Is Just accidental or lucky. Permanent things don’t just happen. The reward comes to the faithful, and this is just as true inside college as out. "I cannot estimate the value of friendships gained in college. The rewards of friendship often do not appear until years after the friendship was first established, but a true friend Is as valuable an asset os a man or woman can have. Friendship are encouraged In an ideal college. They are the keystone of human and social relationship.” “Financing Education” was Dr. Aley’s subject at the Rotary Club meeting. In this address he took up the costs of public and secondary education, as well as those of colleges and universities. “It is vital to American prosperity that education proceed,” urged Dr. Aley. "Let us not, in onr worthy efforts to reduce public expenses, deprive education of appropriations, every cent of which it needs. I can think of nothing more fatal ultimately to American democracy and Intellectual supremacy than to reduce ed-
