MKINNEY ASKS TAX BOARD FOR AUCTION ADVICE

Fifth Mandate Suit Since Issue Arose Is Filed in Circuit Court.

County Treasurer Frank E. MecKinney today asked the State Tax Board to decide questions which are preventing an immediate auction of tax delinquent property in the county. These include: 1. The proper procedure for the sale itself. 2. The specific kinds of advertising necessary to make the property eligible for auction. 3. How long the auction sale must be held open to bidcers. The sale originally was scheduled to be held this week, but officials estimated it would be at least a month before these legal problems are settled.

Another Suit Filed

The auction of thousands of parcels of property was ordered by Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox on petition of several real estate dealers who sought to buy the land at $3 a parcel, the cost of advertising and other legal fees. Meanwhile another suit seeking to mandate county officials to sell 270 parcels of property at $1 each had been filed in Circuit Court by Mrs. Virginia Wheeler. The suit, which was accompanied by a $300 check covering the $l bids is the fifth mandate suit since the property auction issue arose two months ago. County officials opposed the sale on the grounds that it broke a 40-year-old precedent here and might lead to a “tax strike.”

No Funds Budgeted

The question regarding the proper | advertising of the property was] raised several days ago. Some attorneys believe that all the property which has fallen into the auction] sale classification must be re-| advertised before the sale. Officials say there are no funds budgeted for this purpose and, as a result, the sale may be delayed until next year. In answering Mr. McKinney’s| third question, the Board must de-| cide how long is “day to day.” The law provides for a perpetual sale and that anyone with a bid, not less than $3 to cover the sale costs, may come in at any time and buy the parcels.

ROCKS ARE THROWN INTO WPA BUILDING

Police today investigated the hurling of rocks through the windows of a Yandes St. building in which 700 women were working on a WPA sewing project, injuring one and endangering others. They said two men each hurled a rock through the windows at 2146 Yandes St. yesterday afternoon, then fled. The building also is used as headquarters for the Governor's Commission on Unemployment. Mrs. Edna Maywather, 38, of 640 W. North St, who was bruised over the right eye.

AWAITS SENTENCING IN 3 AUTO DEATHS

CRAWFORDSVILLE, April 20 (U. P) —Joseph C. Spear, Attica, today had been convicted on an involuntary manslaughter charge in Circuit Court here. He was found guilty “by reason of speeding” for the deaths of Raymond Jarrett, Mrs. Emma Spear and Mrs. Ethel Hanes, all of Attica, in an accident near here last July. Sentence was withheld pending a defense statement that an appeal would be made.

PLEA FOR FILLING STATION IS FOUGHT

Members of the East 38th Street Civic League today were circulating petitions protesting the possible conctruction of a filling station at E. 38th St. and Sherman Drive. The petitions will be presented to the Zoning Board which is to consider application for construction of the filling station May 1, officers said.

kill them in the process. The light, invisible, but impenetrable to bacteria, is ultra-violet rays, projected to form protective walls in and around babies’ cribs. It is as hard for a germ to get | through one of these light barriers as for a mosquito to bite through steel. Likely result of the experiment will be a significant contribution to the field of infant care—eliminination of transfer of infection from | baby to baby through germs borne by air. Walls Made of Light In a “ward” on the second floor of the Cradle’s new structure, 12 cubicles (divisions) are arranged in two rows of six. Between the cubicles

runs a corridor. Each cubicle contains a baby’s crib; each is door-

| less, opening directly onto the cor-

ridor. A single wall of light provides the protection between the rows. The sheetlike shaft comes from a fluorescent tube which is stretched along the ceiling. The ray either snuffs out or repels any germ which attempts to pass from one side of the room to the other. But how much protection, exactly, does the light alone afford? That's the question which has brought about the establishment of two different technique divisions in the same experiment. In what might be called the “A” technique, cubicles at one side of the corridor are arranged in pairs,

MINTON ASSUMES NEW SENATE DUTIES

Times Special

WASHINGTON, April 20—Senator Minton (D. Ind.) assumed his duties today as Democratic whip, succeeding the late Senator Lewis (D. 11) whom he served as assist-

ant. Senator Minton’s unanimous

election by Senate Democrats yesterday followed his two-hour

luncheon enfagement with President Roosevelt at the White House. As the Indiana Senator took over the post of mustering votes on party issues, he accepted an invitation from William Allen White to tell the Society of American Newspaper Editors tonight what he thinks of the press. Last session the junior Senator from Indiana bitterly assailed the newspaper publishers and presented a bill making it a felony to print untruths. Next to Secretary of Interior Ickes and the President himself, Senator Minton has been the most severe of the Administration

newspaper critics.

“No Fear of Gas

Lexington Ave. Woman Asserts

But Says It Bloated Her Up Terribly Before She Took Natex— Feels 1009 in Every Respect Now.

“Since I've taken Natex I actually look forward to mealtime instead of dreading it,” said Mrs. Louise Guthrie, 11568 Lexington Ave, this city, in a recent conversation with the special Natex representative who _is daily meeting scores of local people at Haag’s Claypool Hotel Drug Store, Illinois & Washington Sts. “You feel so helpless when you suffer as I did and can’t fina a medicine to help you that you don't know what to do. Constipation had bothered me greatly for years. My nerves were always on edge and refused to let me sleep properly at night, my back, legs and muscles often ached almost unbearably, and I seemed to suffer with dizziness and spots before my eyes every day. Worst of all, I had become almost afraid to eat because I knew the food would quickly sour in my stomach, bloat me up most painfully with gas and distress me with indigestion and acid-risings. “It was the luckiest day in my life, therefore, when I decided that Natex should have its chance to help me, “Natex quickly brought the grandest, quickest relief from constipation I'd evgr had, and that was only the very beginning. My nerves settled down, sleep became Geeper ang) more refreshing, the aches left” my back, legs

‘The Cradle, Adoption Center, Moves Into New Home; Ultraviolet Light System Is Used Instead of Partitions.

—Mrs. William B. Walrath, founder

and “Little Mother” if the world famous “Cradle,” has moved her adoption center into its new $150,000 home, just next door to the frail stucco cottage that has been its headquarters in recent years. Science has established there the most germ-proof nursery any baby ever occupied. Where hundreds of childless couples, most of them notables, go to adopt nameless babies, science will now throw new light on germs—and

each two being separated from the others by a glass wall. Down the center of each cubicle, between the two baby beds, more ultraviolet rays set up a shield, separating the two infant cccupants of the same quarters.

Window for Each Cubicle.

Individual cubicles at the other side of the room are divided by glass alone in the “B” technique. A comparison of results of both these methods will show just how much protection is necessary for absolute immunity. A window brings light to each cubicle. But the pane must not be opened to admit outside air. Atmosphere in the cubicle is completely changed each 20 minutes— by ventilation. Humidity and temperature are automatically controlled. The ultraviolet “screens” are not an entirely new idea. At the Henry Phipp Institute in Philadelphia, W. PF. Wells, assistant professor of sanitary engineering at the airborne infection laboratories of the University of Pennsylvania, conducted experiments with a similar grouping of eight cubicles.

Germs Freed as Test

The scientist set germs free within the cubicles—then set about to protect occupants with an ultraviolet defense. It worked! The light walls were found to be prac-

muscles, and the dizziness and spots before the eyes simply stopped bothering me. Most amazing of all, I began to eat and enjoy anything I wanted without a sign of gas or distress! Yes, this gas has been so wonderfully relieved that even my waistline is considerably smaller. How can I ever thank Natex enough for all this.” A special Natex representative is at Haag's Claypool Hotel Drug Store, Illinois & Washington St, daily explaining the merits of Natex and how it can help you. He ine vites you to visit him. Natex is also being especially featured by all 26 Haag’s Neighborhood Stores.

GALLS FOR WAR ON GOMMUNISM

And Churches of Nation, Meyer Warns.

America must halt the spread of communism and fascism, Howard M. Meyer, attorney, warned members of the Indianapolis Women’s Republican Club at a luncheon at the Columbia Club today. “Our nation stands today chaotic, at a crossroads of the ages,” he said. “Our course for years to come must be determined. We cannot remain motionless in our present position.” Urging a return to the course charted for the United States by the Declaration of Independence, Mr. Meyer warned that “communism is here.”

Claims Link to Moscow “We have found it in this land of our, in schools, great and small,” he said. “We can see it in many offices and in many high places, in many of our churches. “We find in these United States Government, agencies lending aid and encouragement to pretended organizations of workers whose money is used to create and maintain direct contact with the only real head of communism—Moscow.” Mr. Meyer warned against Government control of industry. Protests Excess Control “Every step our Government takes toward control of commerce, ine dustry, labor, agriculture and the many other human activities of our people, which goes beyond a clearly definable point where mere regulation stops and control begins, is a positive step toward the completion of a Fascist state in these United States,” he declared. { “Upon every occasion, when publie servants in Government, in lieu of reason for conduct offer the excuse, ‘We have a mandate from the majority of the people,” we may clearly see a departure from the Republic created by our fathers.”

- tically impervious to bacteria carried by ordinary ventilating currents. It was the Wells findings which led to the tests at the Cradle. Result is that the famous baby nursery may be cradling a system which will soon be used to protect precious lives in maternity wards throughout the world. In two other tests, also under way on the Cradle’s second story, varying protective methods are being tried. The first unit is more or less a duplication of the violet ray ward —but cubicles are separated only by glass partitions, Air conditioning gives the only protection. In another ward, each baby is isolated in a glass enclosed, air conditioned space within the cubicle. Both of these latter, however, are regarded largely as “control experiments” to definitely establish the outstanding value of the light ray method.
