SCHOOL FORCES CUT DIPHTHERIA RATE JSHARPLY Contagion Is Eliminated by Constant Supervision of Pupils. , Development of the city-wide ■school health service has resulted in a 60 per cent reduction in the case and death rate from diphtheria, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health commissioner, declared today. The staff of fifty nurses and twelve physicians working daily in the public and parochial schools and kindergartens has reduced greatly all contagious diseases in the last five years, he said. Ten years ago the control of contagious diseases was one of the biggest problems confronting the puolie health department. Less than 10 per cert of the pupils pass examination without some recommendation to better his health. Prevents Epidemic With the daily absence check on sickness, nurses are able to learn of cases of contagious diseases and prevent an epidemic, Dr. Morgan said. Each of the fifty nurses has a '•flock" of from 1,5000 to 2,500 students who receive physical examinations and periodic attention throughout the year. In -event a child is found to have a contagious disease, he is isolated from other pupils and the remaining students watched carefully for symptoms. Parental consent always is required by the school nurse or doctor. Here's the routine for each Indianapolis school boy and girl: First, a check to determine whether vaccinated for smallpox and immunized against diphtheria. Then The parent receives a recommendation that this be done by the family physician or, if the parents are unrble to meet the cost, by the school doctor. Examined for Defects Eyes, ears, nose and throat are examined for defects and recommendations made for correction. The child's weight is checked to determine whether he or she is nourished properly. If the child is more than 7 per cent under normal, the child's parents are asked to put the pupil in one of the thirty special nutrition classes. Other defects and abnormalities are checked and medical or surgical attention provided at city hospital if ihe parents are unable to provide the necessary service. The child’s teeth are examined and if dental service is needed., the child is sent to one of the thirtyfive dental clinics for filing of cavi-' ties or cleaivng and instruction given in care of the teeth.

However, Makes No Claims to Miracles. Bu United J'rcss BUFFALO, N. Y., Nov. 29.—A bearded, black-robed friar of the Order of the Precious Blood, whose prayers work “miracles,” according to the words of hundreds of followers, is attracting crowds of persons who hope to be cured of their ills to his modest abode in North Collins, twenty-three miles from here, every week. Six years ago Friar Jesu Alvarez walked into North Collins. His only worldly possessions were the black, rpd-and-white tasseled robe and the shoes that he wore. He asked for shelter and the Adolpho family allowed him to sleep on the board floor of their parlor. Friar Jesu has made his home there ever since, resting his head in slumber on a large, flat stone. Near the house he has built a tiny chapel, where he receives those who ask his prayers to relieve them of their ills. He makes no pretense of possessing miraculous healing powers, and accepts no remuneration for himself. After hearing the requests of his followers, he advises them to consult physicians. He prays for them when they ask it. If any "miracles'’ are wrought, it is by God's act through his prayers, the friar asserts. EDUCATES SWEETHEART Wife Manages Laborer-Husbanc’ Into Good Position.

FAMINE’S GRIM SHADOW HOVERS ACROSSORIENT China, Japan and Java to Confront Crisis, Says Noted Doctor. BY RICHARD G. BALDWIN Vnitcd Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.—Five hundred million people of the Far East will face the stark reality of food shortage within the next generation, in the opinion of Dr. Carl Alberg, director of the food Research Institute of Stanford university, who just has returned from the Institute of Pacific Relations in Kyoto, Japan. Dr. Alsberg said that the food situation in the Orient is entering a serious phase and is particularly serious in Japan, Java and China. "In Japan the population is increasing at the rate of 900,000 a year while the available food supply is stationary,” said Dr. Alsberg. He added that emigration is not the answer. Lack Coal and Oil "Industrialization, the other answer, is difficult because of a lack of coal and oil and because the rest of the world has built up high tariff walls against her manufactured goods,” he said. Population in the Dutch East Indies, especially Java, is increasing 300,000 a year. Dr. Alsberg said, and Java now has a population of 39,000,000 and ro mines, factories, coal, oil or ores. "In China, with a population estimated between 250,000,000 and 450,000,000, there always Is a famine. The population Ls Increasing and the food supply is not. ‘‘Brith control is difficult in countries whose religion is ancestor worship. The answer is that a high standard of living, a natural method of birth control, must be encouraged by the rest of the world.” Prejudices Removed John D. Rockefeller 111, who was among returning delegates, said the conference "went a- long way toward removing much of the friction and prejudices that existed among the different groups when the conference opened." In the opinion of E. C. Carter of New York, honorary secretary of the institute, the body still is in an experimental stage. "Its biggest test will be when the next meeting is held in China, two years hence,” said Carter. "If it can survive the China meeting, it will have attained its maturity and will be regarded as permanently established for the good of all peoples.”
