—Conservation— NEW BETHEL'S TROUBLE CITED US STATE WOE Hundred Other Places in Indiana Declared Facing Menace. BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS Timn *p#ral Writer Why borate New Bethel? Thus little town of pleasant persons l down on the Shelbyville road is no dirtier than a hundred other towns j I can name oflhand. For that mat- ; ter. it is not nearly so dirty as In- ! dianapolis. The only trouble is that New- Bethel was found out. The bacillus typhosus is no respecter of persons. It is as liable to pick a Governor a stone's throw from Fall creek as a laborer on Buck creek. Only the omnipotent power , that runs things has made it passible for the people of this state to escape a general epidemic of ty-1 phoid fever.

If this power had made the typhoid fever baccillus to live five hours out of contact with the human body instead of only thirty minutes, with the septic condition of the streams in this state, we all would be subject to typhoid as De Lessep's workers in Panama were subject to yellow fever. Typhodi fever is caused by one thing only—contact with water that carries the virus or contact with food contaminated by it or by persons known as carriers. We have cases on record where cows wading in polluted streams have carried typhoid on their udders to the barn, thence to the milk, which is an excellent food for B. Typhosus, and from there to the unfortunate soul who drank the milk. Tnese cases are not rare. Thus may have happened in New Bethel. The fact remains that New Bethel h-s a polluted stream running past its doorstep, but what town or city in Indiana has not? Brands River Dirtiest We have the filthiest river in the United States running from Broad Ripple to Mars Hill, and it contains more pathogenic germs iter cubic inch than there are people in North America. How do you know that it has not been the origin of a vast number of cases of sicknesss, some of which resulted in death? Its insidious encroachment on the health of our community is only noted when someone of us dies of a spectacular dreaded illness. There is not the slightest excuse for any health officer or noted doctor to lam bast New Bethel for being unclean when hus own home town reeks with the stench of hus and his neighbors' untreated sewage. It will take a major epidemic of typhoid fever or of amoebic dysentery- or of fulminating cases of septic sinus infection to awaken the citizens of thus "no mean city” to the fact that we do not smell like a rose. We treat only about t>o per cent of our own sewage that passes into White river and take the full! burden of all of the untreated sew- j age poured into it from Nobelsville. Anderson and Muncie. The United States government last year made it possible for all towns and cities that so desired to clean up pollution. I have told you about that. At this writing onlyseven towns in the state have arrived at that point of civic pride which enabled them to clean up. You may congratulate Winchester as being the only town on White river to do it. The rest of us on this stream brag about our front yards and our churches and schools and what not but resemble the man who puts a clean shirt over a suit of dirty underwear and tries to pass as being well dressed. It is marked down on the calendar of some future year that the people of this state are to become civilized. On that date we will have an end to stream pollution a major disgrace among a host of others that you all know about. The forerunner of this ethereal condition will be a desire on the part of most of us to eliminate from the public payrolls a multitude of officials afflicted with moral halitosis. Impeded by Folitics Under the skin of every civic sore you will find a political group living on it. If such were not the case, there would be no suppuration. An investigation of the reasons for the lack of much-needed civic improvements during the last ten years has always ended in a political labyrinth of subterfuge and evasion for w' ch we have not yet found a remedy. There are fewer defaulting public officials in durance vile today than types from any other social strata. But we are getting away from New Bethel. Be sure your own house us not made of glass before you heave a brick down the Michigan road. Make it possible for the health officials of his state to end water pollution by giving them a law next January that will put a stop to it. We do not have such a law now. all opinions to the contrary notwithstanding. We can not reach any municipality or person that desires to make a cesspool of public waters. So long as we have 570 miles of grossly polluted running water in Indiana, expect anything. In the meantime, before this condition is corrected, especially in the summer season, inoculate with para-typhoid, but. better still, stay away from 90 per cent of our streams and lakes and look before you leap into the other 10 per cent.

Marry Quite Contrary Indianapolis Professional Women Disagree On Relative Values of Man and Career.

WOMEN are a puzzling, enigmatic lot. Professional women in Indianapolis disagree as to w’hether a good career should be ditched for a husband. The opinion of the majority is inclined to be somewhat cynical as to the value of a man.

Mrs. Lenora Meder. president of the Chicago Business and Professional Women's Club, is quoted as saying recently and recklessly, "There isn't a professional or club woman living, no matter how successful, who wouldn't chuck it all to marry a good man. u a a HERE are some typical Indianapolis comments: Miss Jessie Levy, brilliant defense counsel for Harry Pierpont, Charles Makley and Harry Clark, Dillinger mobmen —It's difficult to say. I haven't been around many good men recently. However, I absolutely wouldn't give up my profession for any man. Miss Levy recently was admitted to practice before the United States supreme court. Miss Frances Holliday, candidate for legislature in the primaries and prominent Junior League member —I think a w r oman has a right to both marriage and a career if the two don't conflict. I believe women on the w’hole look upon marriage as an instinctive and natural experience. Mrs. B B. McDonald, secretary of the Federation of Community Civic Clubs, and prominent in other club work —I don't agree with Mrs. Meder. There are some women who are born good housekeepers and some who are born good business or professional women. Incidentally, by the same token, there are some men who ar' born good cooks and housekeepers. In other words, I think every one. regardless of sex. should do whatever is best suited for him or her. * Mrs. Evelyn Mess, W’ell known etcher—l believe that statement to be true. I think that most professional women w’ould give up their careers if the choice were placed before them. Among those who refused to comment were Miss Marcia Morrison, winner of a graduate

OLDEST PEACE TREATY DRAWN IN 2900 B, C. Reparations Demanded in Rare Document Shown at Yale. Ry Science Service NEW HAVEN. Conn.. June 23International worries over treaties have not changed much in 4.800 years, judging by a look at the worlds’ oldest peace treaty, recently exhibited here in honor of the Yale university commencement visitors. The world's oldest known treaty of peace was made between two rival Sumerian cities, after bloody wars over a boundary line. The city of Lagash finally conquered the city of Umma about 2,900 B. C., and the treaty drawn up between the two called for reparations by the conquered city. In the hope of scaring the city of Umma into keeping the terms of the treaty, the inscription called on the god Ningirsu to capture the people in his great net and punish them if they should ever dare to cross the boundary contrary to the treaty terms. To emphasize the curse, the treaty was WTitten on a clay cylinder shaped like a net such as hunters used to bag game. Curse or no curse, the people of Umma rose in rebellion in a few years, and the peace treaty so cunningly drawn was discarded as a scrap of clay. A document from a "New Deal” given to a country about 2650 B. C. was another exhibit selected from the Yale Babylonian collection by Dr. F. J. Stephens, acting curator, to show the progress of Babylonian history from 3500 B. C. to about 150 B. C. The New Deal was given to the city of Lagash by King Urukagina, who rose as champion of the people in a time of great unrest and corruption. He brought about changes in government which greatly improved the lot of the common people, says Dr. Stephens.

COURT IS CONVULSED AS ADELE ASTAIRE THUMBS HER NOSE

By United Press LONDON, June 23. —A select audience in divorce court was convulsed with laughter yesterday when Lady Cavendish, the former popular American dancer, Adele Astaire, thumbed her nose while testifying in the divorce suit of Edward F. W. James against Tilly Losch, dancer. T ady Cavendish was not making the gesture of derision at any one court. She was testifying in support of Miss Losch’s denial of her husband’s charge that she misconducted herself with Prince Serge Obolensky. The gesture demonstrated how she and Miss Losch “made faces” at one another from two taxicabs traveling side by side on Fifth avenue in New York. Lady Cavendish was in one cab with a companion and Miss Losch and Prince Obolensky in another. It was on that ride that James alleged the prince and his wife were observed in a kissing clinch. Lady Cavendish testified that she had a clear view of the other cab and that no kissing occurred. GREAT RUSSIAN SINGER EARNS THIRD FORTUNE Earned Basso Plans Retirement at Age of 62. By United Press LONDON. June 23.—The great Chaliapin, who has made two fortunes and lost them, soon will be able to buy the peace his heart desires. Within two years, probably much earlier, the towering Russian basso will sing his last opera and retire into a little Austrian Tyrol village to become a gentleman farmer. Feodor Chaliapin, the shoemaker's son whose voice has thrilled audiences the world over for more than forty-two years, now is 62—an elderly man, tired of his conquests, wanting simplicity. The first time Chaliapin lost his fortune was in the Russian revolution. The next time it was the Wall Street crash which took 80 per cent of his wealth. Starting again at 60, he now is a wealthy man again, with a beautiful house in Paris, a villa at St. Jean de Luz, property in California and now has an Austrian place at Kitzbuehel.

So He Took the $50,000 — Dillinger Offer for Rehabilitation of Convicts Better Than U. S. Can Do, Doctor to Learn.

By Times Special TT WASHINGTON, June 23.—Dr. Earl Ellicutt Dudding, who devotes VV his time and energy to rehabilitation of former convicts, served notice on the Federal Reconstruction Finance Corporation today that unless he is allotted $50,000 to start a rehabilitation farm, he will accept

that sum from John Dillinger. And Dillinger is ready to give him the cash, Dr. Dudding claims. The doctor wants to establish a farm in West Virginia where former convicts may be made into scientific farmers. In a letter to the RFC. Dr. Dudding said: “I expect you to make the loan, and if I do not get it I shall accept it from John Dillinger. "He read in newspaper about the farm project we contemplated and he sent me word that he would furnish the money to buy and equip the farm without any condition of repayment. "Somehow I would not like to take this money from John, but the farm must be bought even if I have to buy it with his money. Never in the twenty years I have been in the work have I taken any money from crooks, but I may have to. “I hope you will not force me to take this Dillinger money.” Judging from the current requirements for RFC loans, Dr. Dudding might as well add that famous last line: “So I took the $50,000.” FISHERMAN LANDS BIG TROUT WITH HIS HANDS Dives Into Water, Comes Up With Eighteen-Inch Catch.
