A squad of twelve health department officers today began the annual spring elean-up inspection to prepare the city for a reduced death rate from typhoid fever and other diseases. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health officer, instructed the inspectors to examine carefully the yards, alleys and rear buildings at every home in Indianapolis to see that the winter’s accumulation of filth and trash is removed. “In a few years we have reduced the death rate from typhoid fever from 70 to 3.9 per 100,000,” said Dr. Morgan. “Your task is to insist upon a clean-up that will bring additional reductions.” Morgan also told the health officers to pay particular attention to possible cases of scarlet fever, which, he said, is an exceedingly dangerous disease, especially In its after effects.

WASHINGTON’S BEER RECIPE FACES TEST Wets Say They Will Read It at ‘Face the Facts’ Dinner — Drys Charge It Will Violate Law —Sargent to Rule.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.—George Washington yet may find himself — or rather his diary—ln the Federal courts for violation of the Volstead act. The association against tlie prohibition amendment has announced that it will distribute at Its 'face-the-facts” dinner next Monday alleged facsimile copies of Washington's reoeipe for making beer, written In his own handwriting. The association has asked Attorney General Sargent to rule on the legality of such an act. While tho leaders of the wet organization were awaiting the opinion —which probably will not be rendered—Wayne s. Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon lx*ague, said that distribution of the beer recipe

His first period of youthful mag nificence made little impression on J the boy, for he was only 2 years j old when his father. Louis Bona parte, stepped down from the throne of Holland. When he was 7 his uncle, Napoleon I, fell from his proud position and was exiled to the lonely island of St. Helena. Then began a long period of wandering In search of a home. Switzerland, Germany, England and America all sheltering him for a time. Planned for Throne But wherever he was and what- ; ever he did, he was always plan | nlng for the restoration to rule of j the Bonaparte family In France, j This was especially true after 1832. when the son of Napoleon I—the | Duke of Reichstadt —died. This left j Louis Napoleon as the next heir of ‘ the great conqueror. So firm was his faith in his "star of destiny” that he twice made adventurous attempts to seize power in France, but these only brought 'ridicule upon himself. His opportunity came in 1848. when a revolution drove Louis Philippe from the throne and a French republic was established. Among the names of the candidates for the presidency of the new republic only one was known to the peasants—that of Louis Napoleon. They remembered only the glories of the rule of the first Napoleon, and forgot his costly wars and his despotism; so by an enormous majority they elected his nephew president. Followed Napoleon Louis soon began to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious predeces sor. In 1851 he overthrew the old constitution and made anew one giving him unlimited power for ten years. A year later he assumed the title of “Napoleon 111, Emperor of the French,” the son of Napoleon I being counted as Napoleon 11. All of these changes were submitted to the people for their approval In plebiscites, but the elections were carefully controlled so that the people would vote as Napoleon wished. Neither Napoleon I nor any Bourbon king could have been more absolute than was Napoleon 111 during the first eight years of the empire (1852-60.) He muzzled the legislative body, he shackled the press, and he controlled the elections. But the people were ready to give up their liberty in return for the prosperity they enjoyed. Napolon organized banks, built railroads, constructed canals, established hospitals, and gave the laboring men the right to strike. With England, Turkey and Piedmont as allies, he also won a place among the nations by engaging irr-ir successful war in the Crimea against Russia, in 1854-56. “The Empire is peace," Napo eon

would be a violation of the Volstead act. The wet organization replied that it would be interesting Indeed, if the utterances of the first President of the United States were to he censored because of a modern law. It is believed that distribution of the alleged Washington beer recelpe will be a part of the program whether or not Sargent rules on the point of law. * “It is unlawful to advertise orally or by print anywhere or by any means or method, liquor or the manufacture of It or ‘how It may be obtained,' according to sections 17 and 18 of the National Prohibition act,” Wheeler said. “The fact that such a recipe Is attributed, rightly or wrongly, to George Washington does not affect the question.”

had once declared, and If he had followed this policy all might have gone well with him. But he longed to win military glory as Napoleon and I had done, though he himself had no military training. The Fran-co-Austrian war in Italy In 1859 made for him many enemies. His unsuccessful attempt to establish Emperor Maximilian in Mexico still further discredited him. In fact, his whole foreign policy In the latter days of his empire was a failure. In an effort to reduce the growing opposition to his rule he began granting political reforms. The period 1860-70 was thus one of new liberalism In the empire. The .powers of the legislature were restored, and ministers responsible to It were appointed. Freedom of the press was granted. But his popularity was too far undermined for these concessions to save him. When France was crushingly defeated in the Franco-Prusslan War, In 1870-71 the whole structure of the Second Empire toppled to the ground. Napoleon himself was taken prisoner of war when the French army surrendered to the Germans at Sedan, on Sept. 2. “Down with the empire! Long live the republic!” shouted the people In Paris, and on Sept. 4 the third republic was born. The Empress Eugenie, his beautiful Spanish wife, who had wielded a harmful Influence on his reign, fled to England, and there Napoleon 111 joined her after his release at the close of the war. So began his second exile, which lasted until his death, three years later. so lacked the genius of Napoleon I that Victor Hugo called him "Napoleon the Little.” His name was his principal asset, and with his Overthrow the Bonapartlst cause was effectually destroyed. The Empress Eugenie, saddened by the death of their only son in a British war In South Africa, lived on In lonely widowhood until 1920.

MORE INQUIRY INTO SCHOOL HEATING, PLAN C. of C. Group Makes Recommendation on Shipp System. Further investigation of heating and ventilating devices in the Indianapolis public schools will be made by Chamber of Commerce comlttees, it was announced today. Resolution of a Chamber subgroup education committee recommending thermostatic controls be installed on the system of Clarence C. Shipp and other information collected by the investigating body In connection with ventilating devices will be presented to the Chamber public health eomitteo by Leonard ; V. Harrison, civic affairs committee secretary and chairman of the subj tody. To Be Studied “The devices will be studied not only mechanically, but also from a health standpoint,” Harrison sold. Harrison said he had found that the school board was compiling plans for heating devices which contained features peculiar to the Shipp system. Harrison reported that the new board had changed plans for the heating and ventilating systems In School 78 after taking office. The old board had made plans for the unit system of heating and ventilating. In a letter from a local engineering firm, the name of which was not divulged, It was said that “the reason the Shipp system Is used In so many Indiana schools Is because of Shipp's political power.’’ Found Inefficient At the committee meeting It was pointed out that the Shtpp system was found to be Inefficient on two occasions. One of these was several years ago when an education committee subgroup investigated the system and found that In many of the school rooms where It was used there was a continual draft. This was shown In the written report of that committee. CONSIDER METER PLAN May Have Testing laboratory at Purdue University.
