Karabell, who is a Republican, said he had been “receiving duns from the Two Per Cent Club and I don’t like it. I was assured that all I'd have to do is contribute to the Democratic campaign funds.” “Judge Karabell” said that no one should drive faster than a horse and buggy. The bailiff interrupted the procedure to say to “Circuit Judge Earl Cox”: “The Supreme Court went wrong again, Judge. They reversed you.”

INCREASE FOR 1338

There were 423 more new cases of tuberculosis treated at the six Indianapolis free tuberculosis clinics last year than during 1937, according to a report submitted by Mrs. Nell Dixon, tuberculosis nurses’ superintendent, today. . The report also showed that the clinics treated 447 less recurrent cases of the disease last year than during the previous year. The total number of new and recurrent cases treated last year was 7692, an increase of 158 over 1937. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health Board secretary, to whom the report was made, said that the work of the clinics had succeeded in reducing the number of recurrent cases and is an important factor in keeping down the tuberculosis death rate. The mortality rate from the disease last year was the lowest in the City’s history, according to Health Board records.

DRUGS

If you and the movie stars can’t get along without dark glasses in

| the summer time, that’ll have to be

between you. But they don’t do you any good in indianapolis and they might do some harm. Persons with normal eyesight

don’t catch enough brilliance from the sun, or glare, in this city to warrant wearing them, Dr. Carl J. Rudolph, South Bend, declared. He was one of the featured speakers at the final meeting yesterday of the Indiana Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology (eye, ear, nose and throat). Moreover, he said, the cheaper dark glasses might be definitely harmful to normal eyes, since some of them are cut for near-sighted-ness to make vision through them sharper, and such lenses would strain normal eyes. And even flat lenses, with no cur-

vature at all, might, if worn constantly, weaken the eyes to some ex-

tent and make them vulnerable to bright light, he said. Dr. Rudolph urged that small children should not be allowed to do close eye work, such as painting, crayoning, cutting out paper dclls and so forth, for long periods at a time because eye strain might result. He urged parents to have children's eyes tested before children enter school to discover any possible latent defects in vision so that they may be corrected before they are aggravated: The academy meeting ended with a banquet last night.

DEVICE TRAPS CAR THIEVES ROME, April 6 (U. P). — An ingenious device which not only catches motor car thieves but sounds an alarm, has been invented by R. Amaldi, a Trieste engineer.
