COUNTY HOLDS GAINS MADE IN HEALTHBATTIE Record for 1935 Is About Even With Marks in Recent Years. Marion County ended 1935 aboui even with other years, insofar as public health was concerned, according to Dr. Oscar D. Ludwig, county health commissioner. During the year there were no diseases which reached epidemic proportions, while decided improvement was noted in typhoid fever. As late as 1933, reported cases of typhoid reached 18 or 20 each sixmonth period. Improved sanitation, however, has cut this figiire to two cases reported in the last year, Dr. Ludwig said. Births totaled 921 and deaths 66fi for a net increase in population of 255. Tuberculosis Leads The largest total for any disease in the county is tuberculosis, with 304 cases on record, Thi> is due, according to Dr. Ludwig, to the location of Sunnyside Sanitarium in the county, with many patients registered from Indianapolis. Next in number of cases stood scarlet fever, with 225. Dr. Ludwig said this is not an alarming figure, as the cases were scattered throughout the county, and is not large considering the county’s population. Diphtheria caused some concern at County School 14, but the disease was controlled before it reached serious proportions. A total of 58 cases was reported. Other contagious diseases reported and the totals were: Chickenpox, 34; measles, 29; mumps and whooping cough, 13 each; infantile paralysis, 2, and meningitis, 1.

“Hands aovoss the table”—a blind proofreader examining a page of Braille transcribed by WPA workers at the Indiana State Library. .

ONE dot for “A,” two perpendicular dots for “B,” two horizontal dots for “C”—so the Braille alphabet is built up, and through these symbols gives material for the sensitive fingers of blind persons, enabling them to capture some of the oeautics and knowledge of the world through literature. In the Indiana State Library, tucked away in a small corner of the stock room, six persons from relief rolls are making these dots on large, heavy sheets of manila paper. They are employed on the

Lengthy War Forecast by Writer During Visit Webb Miller First to Flash News of African Conflict to U. S.; Predicts Bitter Struggle.

By L nitrd Press NEW YORK, Jan. B.—ltalian armies are prepared fqr a ruthless war of two or three, years to penetrate the center of Ethiopia, Webb Miller, chief United Press correspondent with the Italian expeditionary force,

said today. Mr. Miller arrived here on the 3 S. Washington from the Eritrean front, whence he flashed the first word to America of the Italian March into Ethiopia. From a military standpoint, Mr. Miller said, the Italian army is equipped to wage a successful war, although fighting almost unprecedented battles with climate and terrain. He saw the greatest danger to the Italian cause in political and diplomatic conditions in Europe. Mr. Miller saw the approaching summer rains, due to begin in force in June, as the test of the Italian military machine that may decide the result of the war. “Even the Italians’ superior military equipment may not be enough tc overcone the Ethiopians,” he said. “The rainy season is certain to halt Italian military operations and it is possible that the rain will seriously damage the military roads the Italians nave so laboriously built. Big Offensive Hinted By United Press ROME, Jan. B.—Marshal Pietro Badoglio intends to embark on an offensive in northern Ethiouia before the start of the rainy season, it was believed today. The spearhead for the attack is expected to be the Val Pusteria division of crack Alpine troops now en route to Eritrea. 7 Italians Surrender By United Press DESSYE, Ethiopia, Jan. 7.—(Delayed)—Seven Italian soldiers, who

Works Progress Administration project designed to provide more books for the blind in the state. Originally the project was set up to employ four blind persons and four persons with sight, but the certifying officers had great difficulty in finding blind persons on relief rolls who were capable of being taught to operate machinery. There are now three blind women who have been taught to use the new machines purchased by the State Library for the project, and three women who can see, reading to them.

They received warm clothes from the Duke of Harar, Emperor Haile Selassie's 12-year-old second son, in place of the tattered remnants of their uniforms. The duke offered to communicate with their relatives. The Italians said they were weary of war, that they were impressed into service and had to leave their aged parents without support. The soldiers were said to have pictured Italian army morale as very low. 22 Reported Slain By United Press ROME, Jan. 8. —Twenty-two Ethiopians were killed in rpcent clashes between patrols in the Tembien region of Northern Ethiopia, it was announced today.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

IN SPITE of the difficulties encountered in getting the project started, two collections of short stories have been completed, and a third is in the process of completion. Two of the women are at work on long novels—“ The Man Four Square” by Raine, and “Resurrection River” by Mowery, both of which are to require between five and seven volumes of Braille. Another worker is making a catalog of a selected list of Braille titles the State Library possesses. This, when completed, will be incorporated in the traveling library and sent to blind readers in the state, who will be able to make their selections of books from it. It is the first Braille catalog to be made in the state. According to O. J. Pettijohn, the non-relief supervisor of the project, large print runs about even, but in transcribing books pf small print, one page of regulkr type will take about one and a half pages of Braille. u tt n BLIND women employed on the project are given instruction in the use of the machines before they are put to work. After they have had some practice, they are able to transcribe about 10 pages a day. Mr. Pettijohn, who is blind, does the proof-reading for the project. When a page has been completed he reads it carefully. When he detects an error, he has tools with which he ,'is able to remove an incorrect dot and put anew one in correctly. When the pages are completed, they are shellacked on the back to keep the dots raised, then bound in volumes and placed in the Indiana State Library’s traveling collection.

REFORMER SEES DOOMED SON IN SINGLING CELL Maj. Newman Raymond Has Pleas for Mercy Before Gov. Lehman. By United Press NEW YORK. Jan. 8— Maj. Newman Raymond, who won prominence a quarter of a century ago by his efforts to rehabilitate criminals, was in Sing Sing today to visit his son, who is scheduled to die in the electric chair tomorrow for the murder of a policeman in a hoiuup. Maj. Raymond has pleaded for mercy with Gov. Herbert H. Lehman. He will await the result of the plea at the prison. The doomed youth is Newman Raymond Jr., who with three others was convicted of the slaying of Patrolman M. J. Killion. The boys lived in the apartment of Nelson Clark, former Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate who has been convicted of robbery. Maj. Raymond, a former evangelist, now a prosperous builder of Alexandria, Va„ was considered a local “Billy Sunday” when in 1911 he ivon a pardon for his cashier who had absconded with SI6OO and rehired him. The cashier stole a second time but Raymond said he was not discouraged and continued his missionary work.
