WAYNE TRUSTEE RENEWS CLASH WITH DOCTORS

Offers Additional Reasons Why He Has Rejected S3OOO Contract. Tun ft Special PORT WAYNE, Ind., Dec. 19. Defending hts rejection of the offer, Elmer J. Fox. Wayne Township trustee, today branded as "grossly misleading" the contention of the Fort Wayne Medical Society that it can save the township SIO,OOO in providing medical care for its indigent. The medical society recently accepted a proposal of its economics committee to offer a contract under which it would furnish the necessary medical aid at a flat charge of S3OOO for the year. Mr. Fox, after refusing the offer, sand he had done so because various members of the society had threatened to cancel their memberships if it were accepted. Further Reasons Are Given In his latest statement, the township official cites further reasons. He claims that the recent discharge of seven township physicians will reduce the medical bill in 1935, that other trustees who have entered such contracts found them expensive, and that so far as he can learn the offer has been drawn up by only two society members and does not represent the organization as a whole. "Statements by members of the society that the township would save SIO,OOO a year under their plan are grossly misleading,” Mr. Fox asserted. "They point to the $13,000 spent by the township last year as a basis for their claim, and do not take into consideration the fact that I released seven township physicians several wrecks ago when the WPA began to lessen the township relief load. Medical care will not cost the tow'nship anywhere near $13,000 next year,” he declared. Points to Medical Costs "I have received letters from a number of other township trustees in Indiana and other states w'ho have tried plans similar to the one proposed by the medical society,” he said, “and in all cases they claim the expense was increased greatly.” He added that in one city with a society of 107 members, only six would co-operate with the township, while the remainder took no interest. The same condition might arise here, he said. "I am convinced that the society can't do the work as economically as the township physicians,” he conclude I. “For one thing, more patients would be sent to hospitals, with increased expense to the township. For another, prescriptions would cost more than under the present set-up whereby all medicine is purchased wholesale.” Kills Wife, Ends Own Life By t nih il Brest PHILADELPHIA.

COLLECTOR, 86, FINDS INTEREST i IN METEORITES

James Trythall Attributes His Sound Health to Avocation. Timr* Special FORT WAYNE, Ind., I>c. 19. James Trythall is 86, but he feels and acts much younger. His sound health and buoyant spirit, he believes, are due more to indulgence j than abstinence. For Mr. Trythall is a geological hobbyist whose rare | collection of stones, metals, shells and meteorites is one of the most remarkable —and valuable —in America. When Mr. Trythall was a youth at Cornwall, in his native England, he collected rocks and shells \ for his own enjoyment. When in | 1871 he came to America, his zeal for geological oddities was whetted. Ever since he steadily has added to his collection, often traveling far to obtain choice material, and today J his home is literally buried in a wealth of specimens. Defy Classification Recently Mr. Trythall purchased what he believed to be 500 tiny meteorites from a Colorado road worker. They had been found near, Denver and were known to be of rare composition. Since their arrival, however, Mr. Trythall has failed to be satisfied that they are true meteorites, and university professors and mineralogists are equally puzzled as to their identity. “Some are satisfied to call them meteoric stbnes,” Mr. Trythall chuckles. Two, however, say they are pyrites, and others pronounce them marcasite stones.” Since he, too, is something of an authority on such matters, possessing specimens of these rarities, Mr. Trythall is willing to await a decision and thinks someone even- j tually will reach a correct classi- ! fication. Meteorites at present hold the veteran collector's interest and his ! knowledge of them is revealing. Source Is Unknown "A meteor is a luminous body flying in the air,” he explains, “while a meteorite is a metallic or stony body that has fallen to earth. Meteorites come from outer space without an invitation. They do not differ in*composition from substances which comprise the earth's crust. Some think they come from the moon; others from a burned-out comet, and still others from a shattered planet, but no proof is available to give satisfaction. “Scientists tell us,” he adds, "that most meteorites that fall to earth are no larger than pebbles.

' earth is continually coming in contact with them in its path around i the sun. The velocity of the meteorite is from 10 to 40 miles a second. At such tremendous speed, they strike our atmosphere, setting ] up so much friction they are immediately set on fire and most of them burn up. “The atmosphere is our protec- ; tion,” he concludes. "A few meteorites reach the earth, some so small, however, that they can not be seen
