SLACK ZONING LANDS, PARKS IS VITAL TO EXPANSION Mayor Speaks Before Civic Committees Pleading for Progress. CONFIDENCE IN COUNCIL Asks Action to Supply Many Needs of Fast Growing Community. Cooperation of Marion County in zoning and otherwise preparing for the future growth of Indianapolis was urged by Mayor L. Ert Slack at the Chamber of Commerce civic affairs committee luncheon Friday. “A problem before us all the time,” Black said, "is zoning of lands, rivers, parks and locations, necessary for the future city government, life, health and comfort of the people. “Marion County is as vitally interested in this as the poeple of Indianapolis, because residents of the county, in a few years, will find themselves within the city lmits. Urges Progressiveness. “The city is growing fast and will grow faster in all directions if we do all the things we now feel we can do. We have a council as good as any in the world now, so let’s get into something progressive ourselves and remind Marion County it also has something to do.” Slack referred to a recent visit to Milwaukee where he found the county has provided several county golf courses and parks. He praised the State conservation department for worthy efforts in preserving natural assets, including the hills, hollows and trees of Brown County. He urged White River pollution be prevented and that the river be beautified through the city. “Let’s get busy on this and see if private interests are big enough to destroy its beauty for their own uses,” he said. “The Indianapolis Water Company several years ago began diverting water from the river to the canal, and now, most of the year, you can walk through the river channel without getting your feet wet.” Slack said he is having prepared a report showing needs of the city, too be presented to the new city council. More Money Needed “I expect the council will ,be shocked when it sees the enormous needs,” he said. “Even though they do not approve the suggestions, at least something will have been started. “With such an excellent council, we all must work even harder than before, because the public expects big things of us.” The mayor declared the city either must have more money for operation, if necessary improvements are made, or else an investigation must be made to reduce present expenses. “If we can show the people our needs and give them evidence their money is being spent judiciously, I believe they will not complain about taxes,” he said.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

GIN AND SMOKE, QUEEN'S PLEA Harvard Expedition Studies African Conditions. PHILADELPHIA, April 21. —A savage queen who asked for tobacco and gin when presented with gifts of a powder puff and mirror and “leopard men” who carry off unwary travelers to be pieces de resistance at cannibal feasts, were features of the recent Harvard African expedition described by Dr. Richard P. Strong of Harvard University at the meeting of the American Philosophical Society here today. A medical and biological survey of Liberia was the Harvard scientists’ chief objective. Less was known, prior to the expedition, of these aspects of Liberia than of any other country in Africa. It was apparent as the result of this investigation that the oustanding ills the Liberians have to combat, were malaria and infections from various parasites. Os the many forms of parasites seen, particular attention was devoted to the tumors caused by the threadworm. Anew species of fly was found, in which the embryo of the parasitic worm could be seen under the microscope. Though it has not been demonstrated by actual biting experiments that flies of this genus are means of transmitting the parasite to man, declared Dr. Strong, nevertheless these findings furnish important evidence that such is the case. Many cases of sleeping sickness were seen in the Congo, he added, the whole area of the Semliki Valley having been deserted by the Belgian government as a result of the inroads of the tsetse fly.
