If all business men do wholeheartedly what is asked of them, it undoubtedly will bring results.” Officials of Kingan A: Cos., packers, explained Friday that they had not yet received official notification regardin': the plan, but would cooperate with the administration. It is very hopeful, but its ultimate working out is more or less problematical At least, it promises the best chance of bringing about quick and ]>ennanent results," C. H. King, vice-president of the company. declared regarding the act. Adjust merits Necessary We will have to make adjustments m our own industry. The act offers some difficulties, but I don’t suppose they are insurmountable. ‘ We will co-operate fully with the administration. American meat packers arc l negotiating now wiSh regard to a code and we are awaiting word as to details of the plan,” he said Unqualified endorsement was voiced by John J Madden, president of the John J Madden Manufacturing C mpanv, furniture manufacturin' firm. ■'Although I've read the program very hurriedly. I'm for it and we expect to get in line as fast as we can. - ' Madden said. "Naturally, there are a lot of details to arrange in any program so sweeping as this, but we exiieot to be on the new basis before the Sept 1 date that lias been set Hits at C ut-Throat System "Cut-throat competition on labor scales lias hurt working conditions in the furniture industry and the President's order ought to whip a lot of concerns in line. • We've already made one wage increase and promised another, but if some furniture manufacturing firms, particularly in the south, raised wages loft per cent, they'd still be behind Madden's and similar concerns whose consciences won't let them pay starvation wages T welcome the presidential decision— we've got to get things rolling.” Louis Wolfe, of the H P Wasson Company, stated Friday that so far as lie could determine at the present time, no change would be necessary at the Wasson store. “We never have cut wages.” Wolfe said. "Our wage scale now is above the minimum set forth in the code, and we do not feel that it will be necessary to make other changes. However, we will abide by the code, of course.” Radical clianges in all stores were anticipated by M S. Block of the William H Block Company, although he feels that the extent of these will not be known until the

code is received. More .l.ibs Forecast He feels that it will metfn the employment of more people and the raising of wages. "The only statement that I can make at the present time is that the William H Block Company will abide by the code that is given it." Block said. It was reported unofficially that the National Dry Good.- Association is working on a code tor department stores. J S Watson. Link Belt Company vice-president. had no details to announce concerning plans of his company. but said "it will co-operate with the administration." Inquiries directed to several other companies brought the response that more time would be needed for study of the program before any announcement of detailed plans > In tire field of public works. James Adams, state highway commission chairman, stated that the code would effect only road maintenance workers. He pointed out that short hours and a minimum wage already are lr effect on roads built in Indiana with federal aid The work week is thirty hours, with a minimum wage of 35 cents an hour.

ARM IN ROLLER, BOY GRINS AS RESCUERS TOIL Smiles Cheerfully While Men Work 45 Minutes to Free Him. Alfred Miller, 16, of 1813 Lambert stnet. grinned just cheerfully at fellow employes who called on him at home today as he smiled stoically Thursday when rescuers worked for forty-five minutes to release his arm. caught in a roller. When police and firemen were called to the Dariv bakery at 1704 West Morris street, Thursday, they found Miller, with his left arm caught in the steel grip of one of the baking machine rollers. His hand and arm were crushed and finger bones broken. The machine had nipped his finger tips and before his right hand could reach a switch to stop the machine, his left hand had been drawn through the rollers almost to the elbow. Miller grinned—a set. determined smile—as rescuers led by Sergeant Frank Owen worked frantically to release his arm. While officers of the police accident prevention bureau attempted to reverse the machine others armed with croVbars worked to lessen the pressure of the rollers. The boy still grinned when rescuers succeeded in freeing his arm after forty-five minutes. His stoical smile changed to one of joy when he was told by doctors today that it would not be necessary to amputate the arm.

Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M KENNEY Secretarv American Bridee League AST often have stated, small cards can play just as important a part in successful contract as aces and kings. In bidding, make sure that your hands fit—don t be guided simply by the number of high card tricks you hoid. In the play of the hand, small cards can play an all-important part. Don't merely discard at random—do so in a manner that will convey a definite message to your partner regarding your holding. I do not mean that you should throw the cards down emphatically, or discard them without interest. What I mean is that you discard them intelligently—to echo and show out if you can ruff a card—or to discard so as to show the number you hold of a suit. Following is an example of high cards and low cards in both bidding and play South and West passed. While I would not criticise North if he opened with a bid of one spade, it is a good hand to pass. East will open the bidding with one diamond. South can make a negative double. West will pass, showing weakness. North will respond with one spade East shows his second suit by bidding two clubs. South bids two hearts. West and North pass, and East bids three diamonds. South bids three hearts.

FAMED ANGLER SEEKS PRIZED INDIANA CATCH Harry - Yale at Tippecanoe After Great Northern Pike. By T nit. >/ /’rr* LAKE TIPPECANOE. Ind.. July 22. —Harry R. Yale. Lima to.) author and scientific fisherman, has returned to the waters of Lake Tippecanoe in search of some of ihe Great Northern pike. Yale, recognized as the "astrological angler." has fished in all of Indiana's 113 lakes. He is accompanied on this trip by Dr. W. G. Reeder. Wheaton. 111. “Minnows" a foot long are being used by the two men in an effort to catch some of the giant pike which have been destroying the nets of other fishermen here. Yale's theory of when fish bite best was started in 1908 when he collected diaries from old-time fishermen and compared them with the stars. He found that fish govern their biting behavior by certian laws of nature revealed in the signs ot the zodiac. Asa result. Yale claims to have pulled a larger assortment of the finny tribe out of Indiana waters than any other angle^ During the present excursion. Yale hopes to settle a long dispute as to the dept ot the water in Lake Tippecanoe. Some claim there are spots 200 feet deep

Conservation Polluted Water Seen as Sinus and Flu Breeder

BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS Timet Spgflil Writer IFIND some corroborative evidence to bolster one mayor's areument that impure water in the river has little to do with the health of the community, but this is subject to further anal vs is First, his argument applies chiefly to the effect on the genera! health of bathers in two rivers of India, the Ganges and the Jumna, and not to a similar effect on bathers in anv river in Indiana. Hankin. scientist, in 1896. discovered something in the waters of the Jumna having the ability to destroy germs of the deadly Asiatic cholera

It was ultra microscopic, unfiltrable and mysterious Ten years later DHerelle. in the Pasteur institute, discovered ibis destroyer to be a cultivable virus, possibly alive, at least fermentative, and he named it bacteriophage. or germ eater If impure water affected swimmers’ health as I have claimed, then the religious bathers of the Ganges would suffer devastating results from the fluvial part of their pilgrimage. Above the bathers’ section in the River Gauge--stand the ghats, where the aged and diseased find thenlast earthly resting place. The burning pyres constantly flame around the bodies of the true believers and the remains are thrown into the river. Those not able to finance the cremation are heaved in. To add to this burden of pollution, a city of a million souls extends several kilometers upstream and the bulk of the sewage flows into the river two kilometers

above the religious beach. Something more than religious fervor undoubtedly is needed to account for the immunity of the bathers to disease. This something exist- \ ing in the Ganges and possibly in other tropical rivers is the bacteno- i phage. While the river Is cloudy with pathogenic bacteria, it also is laden ! with this germ eater in quantities sufficient to parasitize the pathogens within a very brief stretch of river. —— I

and thus immunize the water. It is doubtful if any disease germ arrives at the bathers beach capable of doing damage. As D'Herelle states. "Viewed under a dark microscopic background, the human bacillus dysentery' are seen to swell up under the attack of the invisible bacteriophage, become spherical, and suddenly burst into a cloud of fine granules." B B B IN the “tanks" of the hill villages of India, the mudholes holding the community water supply, the bacteriophage does not exist. Out of these tanks at intervals stalk the grim spectres of cholera and dysentery. While this very’ happy combination of bug anti-bug exists in the Ganges, and possibly in other tropical waters, we do not find it in Indiana waters. Our pathogenic bacteria, notably B. coli, or the human intestinal microbe released in the summer waters of the White river, not only can live unmolested by any other germ for long distances down stream, but actually does exist and in many locations multiplies. The medical fraternity is not given to public pronouncement. An attempt to solicit information for publication even from a number of my professional friends has met I with polite refusal, so I am forced I to relay a conversation that camup in the doctors’ dining room of one of our large state hospitals over the cogarets following a noon meal, j last week.

B B B THE usual medical reminiscence has worked around to blood counts in an acute case of appendicitis on the third floor now being prepared for surgery. "Her history is the same as the last two. doctor." explains the interne. “They have been swimming in the Wabash, develop a septic sore throat, in a few days the count goes away up, and their doctor sends them in with appendicitis indicated.” “Can there be any connection between this sore throat and polluted water?" I ask. “Undoubtedly, the three cases we have had this week came from the same town and the same swimming place.” "What is the connection between the sore throat and the appendicitis?” “We haven't made any attempt to conned them. They all have a very highly inflamed throat and an initial attack of appendicitis." The hospital bacteriologist then remarks. "We had a strange run of cases last summer and winter. We cared for a large number of cases of septic sore throat and sinus infection last summer, evidently originating in the water. I noted particularly that the same cases developed a severe attack of influ-

rnza and many were returned here last winter.” Again I ask. "Is there any medical connection between the summer sinus and the winter flu?” “I don't know; I am only relating my own observation.” BBS CO that's that. I have had a pet theory of my own about the flu. Since the war. when all* of us became influenza-conscious, we find the other half of our population smoking. My own experience indicates a head cold follows too ardent a bout with tobacco in the raw months. More smokers, more bouts, more head colds, more flu. What could be more logical? But now I am going to jettison part of my old theory and launch another. I hope some public health doctor seizes upon it to tear it limb from limb and finds I am right, at least in part. Being an aident swimmer myself, and one with m.v children on that i score, and now having a septic sore throat along with m.v daughter from ; swimming in Lake Freeman, below Monticello's open sewer, you may be sure I'm watching our two cases ! closely.
