PLAN ACTION TO FORCE CITY TO RECLAIM LAND Northsiders to Hold Mass Meeting Tonight to Decide Moves. Mass meeting of north side citizens to decide on legal steps aimed t forcing the city to reclaim land now under lease to the Woodstock Country Club, will be held at 8 Tuesday night, at the Rauh Memorial library, 3024 North Meridian street. The meeting, under auspices of the North Side Federation of Community Civic Clubs, is expected to be attended by delegations from every civic, social and educational organization on the north side, according to President Oscar Smith. Report on legal phases of the lease is to be made at the meeting by a subcommittee headed by G. G. Schmidt. Schmidt will quote the state law limiting power of municipalities to dispose of land acquired for park purposes. Quotes From Land Statutes "The law specifically states that when a municipality purchases land for park purposes a declaration must be made at the time setting forth the purpose for which the land is to be used," Schmidt said. “In event the land can not be used-for that purpose it must be sold. This precludes the leasing of such ground for private gain.” Quoting from the statutes hOvemlng land disposed of by municipalities, Schmidt poir.etd out: “It is well settled that a municipality can not, by a lease which amounts to an ouster to the public, lease land dedicated to park purposes for private gain. This has been held by several courts." Purchased by City in ’ls The land, for which the Woodstock Club pays $6,000 rental annually, was purchased by the city for park purposes in 1915, at a price of $150,000. A clubhouse was built and the ground leased to the club for ten years, expiring in September, 19 f 5. In 1920, an extension of the lease was granted until 1930, and in 1922 the lease was extended another ten years, or until Sept. 30, 1940. Tills lease was signed by S. L. Shank, as mayor, and C. A. Bookwaiter, Sarah Slnnk, Fred Cline and P. M. McGuire, park board members. It is this latter lease the north side group seeks to break. It is pointed out the annual rental barely pays for the Interest on bonds issued to acquire the ground.

CHILDBIRTH PAIN IS TERMED NECESSARY
Women Who Want Relief Must Pay for It, Says Expert. Use of anesthesia to relieve the goffering of labor in childbirth, now being widely discussed by the public, ft is still the subject of disagreement in medical circles. At the reanest of The Times. Science Service has a series of three authoritative stories, of which this is the second. Bt / Science Service CHICAGO, April 6.—Women who demand relief from the pain of childbirth must be prepared to pay for it in danger to themselves and to their babies. “Obstetricians believe every woman in labor should have more or less relief from pain,” stated Dr. Joseph B. DeLee, professor of obstetrics at Northwestern university medical school and obstetrician-in-chief at the Chicago Lying-In hospital, in reply to inquiry by Science Sfrvice. “Complete elimination of pain is impossible, though the- j are rare oases of naturally painless labor. “For the relief of pain in normal labor, the women must pay proportionately In an Increase of the dangers of delivery and of the mortality of the babies. While both are not great, they are not negligible and this fact makes conscientious obstetricians individualize their patients, supplying that anesthetic in kind and amount b- \ suited to them. “At the Chicago Lying-In hospital we use all the proven remedies,” Dr. DeLee said. He added a word of cs-"-n to the

POOR AID FUND HEADS FACING DIFFICULT TASK April Relief Demands to Be Heavy; Budget Is Cut SIO,OOO. Facing the problem of feeding as many families in April as in March on a reduced budget, administrators of the county poor relief funds are studying ways to revamp the poor relief system to keep expenditures within bounds of their budget. Warmer weather which, it was thought, would bring jobs to heads of many families seems, so far, to have failed in this mission, a survey conducted by the Center township relief headquarters has revealed. Inauguration of a "made work” program in the county by means of which all men physically able Will be required to work for baskets of food, is under consideration. This will be discussed at a meeting of welfare workers, township trustees, advisory boards and county officials in the Columbia Club Wednesday night. Work Three Days a Week Nine townships, under the present system, are requiring men to work three days a week in return for a backet of food containing $5.67 worth of food, plus $2.20 in cash. Tire new plan would require men now receiving $3.50 baskets weekly also to work for their food. Poor relief administrators are hopeful that sunny skies will make many Jobs available within the next few days. Probability of another clash between the Center township advisory board and Mrs. Hanna Noone, Center township trustee, looms, as both the advisory board and Mrs. Noone have been invited to the meeting. Extravagance Charged After members of the board had charged that Mrs. Noone was “wasting township relief funds,” the board a week ago slashed Mrs. Noone’s April budget SIO,OOO under the March relief fund figure. The Center township fund for April is $90,000. Although a decrease in amount of coal necessary to supply the needy :s expected, Mrs. Noone probably will have to make drastic reductions in expenses if the fund holds out, it is said. “Our problem now is to feed as many perrons as we did in March with less funds,” Walter Clarke, attorney for Mrs. Noone, declared.

$6,000 for Ann That’s Salary Offer for Week, but She Wants Say on Stories.
Hollywood, April 4. The new contract which Pathe is offering Ann Harding calls for a salary reputed to be $6,000 a week.
But she hasn’t signed it yet. She wants some changes made not in salary, but in terms. “When I first went to work for Pathe I had a simple three paragraph contract saying that I would receive a certain salary for so many weeks of work every year,” says Ann.
-
Ann Harding
"But the new contract being of 1 sered to me is one of those long involved affairs. Under its terms I have to do everything and can't do anything. I can’t make pictures for any studio except Pathe, but I must make any picture they want to put me into and I must do this and I must do that. “I don’t mind not working for any other studio, but I do want something to say about my pictures. “Under my old contract we used to get together and discuss all proposed, stories. Then they were accepted or rejected. “I want to continue doing the same thing now as I have studied myself and my work for a long time and believe I know as well if not better than any one else what I can do best.” Miss Harding probably will sign the new contract because after all it does carry a rather nice salary with it—but she won’t sign until a few revisions are made to give her some say in her stories.

RAGGED QUAKE SURVIVORS GO BACK TO HOMES Refugees Give Thanks in Easter Services; Danger Is Over. By United Press MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 6. The whole-hearted manner in which the United States and Central American countries responded to the plea of Nicaragua for aid in the earthquake disaster partly stemmed the exodus of refugees today, and influenced many poorer families to return to their damaged homes. Refugees whose lives were spared in the disaster gave thanks Sunday at Easter services, the first religious celebration in which the community has been able to participate since the quakes. \They stood along the shore of Lake Managua, in the baseball park and at the Christian Brothers college—ragged and weary crowds of worshipers, who united to celebrate the Jtesurrection of Christ at a time when the thought of rebuilding their crumbled homes was uppermost in their minds. Immediate needs of the refugees have been met and the danger of euidemic has passed, officials in charge of relief -work said. Colonel Dan D. Ultan of the United States army engineers; Francisco R. Frixione, mayor of Managua, and Ramon Sevilla, minister of education, were named on the food relief committee and decided to divide the city into sections, with sub-committees to aid them in distribution of uncooked food. This will permit the army to terminate the feeding of the refugees at La Loma field. Air mail service was functioning again through co-operation of the marines and national guards and fresh supplies of food and clothing arriving daily gave many of the refugees hope that they could remain in their homes. The capital, however, almost is certain to be moved and it is understood that President Jose Moncada was considering removal of Mazaya.

< BY BEN STERN WITH the aid, conscious or unconscious, of the recent legislature, Secretary of State Frank Mayr Jr. has been placed In an excellent position to make a formidable bid for the Democratic nomination for Governor. The Democratic house and Republican senate passed a bill which will permit Mayr to raise the state police force from thirty-eight to eighty members and place them in twelve strategic points over the state or one in each congressional district. Although several Republicans tried to have police appointees selected from both parties they failed and Mayr can name ail Democrats. ana Ostensible reason for increase of the state police department Is that it will be needed to enforce the truck size limitation law, effective Jan. 1, 1932. Money for increasing the force will be obtained by shifting the automobile license transfer receipts from the use of the highway commission to the secretary of State's office. This fund which last year totaled $213,300. when added to the regular police appropriation of $205,000, will give the division $418,000. _ tt a Republican leaders assert they knew what the bill would do, but hoped by permitting Mayr to increase the force that dissension over appointments to the department might result. There is a possibility that this may occur if Mayr permits his deputy, Robert Codd. and his political advisers, Rudolph Ackerman and Chester Montgomery, to name the police and use them in an attempt to assume control of the Democratic state organization. This would be resented bitterly by State Chairman R. Earl Peters and the dissension desired by the G. O. P. may be accomplished.
