WILLIS TELLS OF

IW BUSINESS [MGER NAMED BY SCHOOL BOARD R, 0. Johnson Is Elected After Twiname Is Ousted. Richard O. Johnson, former superintendent of the Indiana State School for the Deaf, will be the next business director of the board of school commissioners. This was decided by board members Tuesday night after the removal of Walter J. Twiname from office. Johnson was named to succeed Twiname temporarily and the appointment will be made permanent at the next regular meeting. The law requires that no permanent successor can be elected at the same meeting at which the business director resigns or is removed. Twiname’s removal did not come as irprise. For months it has been open secret that there was lack of harmony between him and a majority of the board. Only One Negative Vote The motion to remove Twiname was made by Bert S. Gadd. It was seconded by Adolph Emhardt. Dr. Marie Haslep, president of the board, supported it. The only negative vote was cast by Charles L. Barry. No charges of misconduct in office were made against Twiname. The action was based on the assumption that he was not in sympathy with the building program of the board. The resolution of removal stated that he had been asked by board members to resign, but had refused. Barry spoke in defense of Twiname and voted for his re-election. Says Improvements Are Blocked “We must have cooperation between the board and the business director,” Emhardt said. “I do not believe Twiname is in sympathy with our building program. People are tired ot delays. They want action. They want adequate school buildings. They want anew Shortridge High School, a colored high school, a west side high school. Every* move we make toward new buildings Is blocked." Twiname demanded specific . instances of lack or cooperation on his part be stated. This was not done.

New Building Asked of residents of Norwood for sfc-o room school building e;ist of the MBroad tracks will be granted. In the past school children have been forced to cross many railroad tracks to reach school ,and several deaths have occurred as a result. The board voted to purchase lots either on Vandaman or Madeira Sts., on which school employes will erect a two-room building. Ten bids from local coal companies were received for supplying coal to the school city for the remainder of the year. They were referred to the coal committee for recommendation. The contract "will be awarded at a special board : ng. e Sought Requests .e establishment of an eighth g,-> at school No. 30, Brightwood Aje. and Thirtieth St. were made by a delegation of residents of that neighborhood. Mrs. G. I. Greene said that many parents sent their children to the eighth grade at a township school, rather than have them go eighteen blocks to No. SI, the nearest erty school having an eighth grade. The matter was referred to the committee on buildings and grounds. The following appointments were announced hv E. L T . Graff, superintendent of schools: Gaynell Paden, Orrell G. Shaw. Kate Morrison, Mrs. A. L. Pehrson and Florence M. Talbott. elementary, Margaret Paddock end Mary Bassett, attendance department: Heyde Woodberry, assistant in music, Shortridge High School.

EDUCATORS SEER CLEANER SPORES Commercialism in College Athletics Under Fire, A movement to put a stop to commercialism and other unethical practices in college athletics was under way today, following a meeting of the board of education of the Disciples of Christ at the Claypool Tuesday. The meeting was attended by representatives of Christian educational Institutions from all parts of the coun try. President Robert J. Aley of Butler University said athletic problems are among the most serious difficulties confronting colleges. He blamed outside influences to some extent for commercialism in college sports. Articles of incorporation of the boi-rd were amended to increase the membership to sixty. The additional members will be nominated by the national convention. A number of talks on technical college administration subjects were made.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

171-DEGREE FEVER

Local Physician Denies Impossibility of Unusual Temperature Recorded Through Girl’s Hoax —Explains Theory for Times Readers,

Daymen, 'and even phy*sicians, , gasped when dispatches from Escanaba, Mich., told of a “fever woman” 1 whose temperature rose as high as i 120 degrees. The incredulous apparently were vindicated with the dis--1 covery of physicians that Miss Evelyn Lyons had perpetrated a hoax by means of a miniature hot water bottle with which she touched the thermometer. But, says Dr. Edward A. Willis, In an article written for The Times, a temperature even as high as 171 has been recorded. He ecites numerous other cases on record where temperatures have equaled or exceeded that of Miss Lyons. He explains the cause of the phenomena. BY EDWARD A. WILLIS, M. D„ LL. 8., Department of Medical Jurisprudence, Indiana Law School. From press reports, It would appear the alleged high temperature of the young woman of Escanaba, Mich., running even to 120 degrees, has created much interest, accompanied with skepticism. This is not surprising, for a temperature of 105 or 106 'degrees is considered very hign in the routine practice of medicine. One may naturally wonder if this temperature Is a record. In medical literature, there are many reported and recorded cases with temperatures equalling, and quite a few even far exceeding that of Miss Lyons. In briefly reviewing some of them, we must be reminded that no matter how good the evidence or how authentic the reference, there is a good chance for malingering. There are means of producing on sensitive thermometers, apparently very high temperatures. Origin of Body Heat The temperature of the body is due to the body heat, 90 per cent of which is derived from the storod-up enegry of ingested organic food material, while 10 per cent Is the result of mechanical muscular movements of the body. The conversion of food into body heat is an intensely interesting story, but not of great value. Obviously, the production of body heat, in this manner, must be carefully regulated, so that it will conform in amount with the dissipation of the body heat, In such degree, that the body temperature shall be fairly constant, and a normal temperature, about 98,6 degrees, obtain. To accomplish this maintenance of standard temperature there must bo present In the body some definite means. These means lie In nerve cen ters. which control the production and dissipation of body heat, according to the necessities of the body for low, average or high temperatures, by mans of chemical changes in the body cells, and also the Irritation that developed in the nervous system from poisons produced by disease. y nomolies of Temperature Medlc.il literature reveals some very interesting information regarding anumolles of temperature, some of which I would like to quote without, however, taking the time for giving my references. Some years ago Vlerordt wrote that temperatures of n,3 degrees had often been observed and said the record for high temperature probably was held

by a case of Teale, reported before the Clinical Society of London, where the temperature frequently rose to 123 degrees, due to a spinal injury. The Lancet commenting on this stated that there, was no way the patient could have artifically produced this temperature. In the Adelaide Hospital in Dublin, a patient recovered after having run a temperature from 120 to 130.8 degrees. Philipson tells of a neurotic patient, with hysteria with varying temparatures from 110 to 117 degrees, who recovered and Steel wrote of a patient with hysteria whose temperature at one time was 11G.4, and Shattuck of Boston stated he had observed in a case of hysteria, a temperature of 117. every precaution being taken to prevent fraud and deception. A patient who developed an extremely high temperature, that could not be recorded by the ordinary thermometer objected seriously to the use of special thermometer with a scale running to 130 degrees, saying it was “a horse thermometer.” Finally she allowed a reading by this, which showed a temperature 128 degrees. Case of Hysteric Fireman In 1895, at a meeting of the Association of American Physicians, Jacob of New York reported a case of hyperthermy reaching 148 degrees, In a profoundly hysteric fireman, who fell between the revolving rods of some ma- ' chlnery and was rendered unconscious for four days. This temperature was carefully recorded In the presence of a number of persons, and all possible precautions were taken to prevent deception. For five days his temperature averaged between 120 and 123 degrees. Jacobi Insisted his observations had been made with the greatest care and under many different circumstances. He was skeptical at first, but could not doubt his own observations. In discussing this case. Welsh of Baltimore referred to a case that had been reported In which it was said that the temperature reached as high as 171 degrees. It may add a little interest to refer to the lowest temperature on record that I have been able to find, of a woman of 33 yeanv who following a surreal operation had a temperature of only 84 degrees, a day before her death. Probably the explanation of all these cases of hvpertheriny lies in an nberatlon in the relationship between heat production and heat dissipation accompanied by either functional or t Organic derangement of the ther mogenie or thermolytio nervous ; system centers, but even if it cannot ! bo explained, an anotnoiy of this kind does not merit on our part a denial of the possibility of its occurrence.

ASTHMA REMEDY MAKES SMALL TOWN FAMOUS Success of Physician’s Treatment Is Carrying the Name of Si. Marys, Kan., Around the World. A real asthma remedy, dispensed by a druggist in St. Marys, Kan., is mak- | ing that little tow*n known around ! the world. In all sections of the | United States, and in foreign coun- ) tries, are people who testify that they [ were helped by "the man in St. j Mary’s, after suffering from asthma for years. Letters received by the i druggist indicate that the treatment is successful in the most difficult j cases. The treatment was discovered by a St. Marys physician. Noticing that it produced remarkable results in ' chronic asthma, I>. J. Lane, a druggist who filled the prescription, ob- 1 tained the physician’s consent to make ■ the remedy available to asthma sufferers everywhere. As it readily over- ! : came obstinate cases, news of the discovery spread rapidly. People helped, by It wrote about it to other sufferers, and In a short time the Lane drug ■ store was literally Hooded with re- j quests for the remady. Now Its fame has carried so far that Mr. Lane Is obliged to give his entire time to Its preparation. In order to reach quickly as many j sufferers as possible, Mr. Lane sends the treatment out on free trial, with the understanding that the patient is to pay nothing if it fails and only $1.25 if resu?ts are satisfactory. Any # reader who suffers from asthma can get the treatment, postpaid, on these terms by simply writing to Mr. Lane at 835 Lane building. St. Marys, Kan. If satisfied after using the remedy, send Mr. Lane $1.25: if not. your re- , port to him cancels all charges. As the First National Bank of St. Marys and thousands of customers report Mr Line to be thoroughly reliable, no one suffering from asthma need hesitate to accept his generous offer.— Advertisement.
