RAGE NEWS MEN DISBAND’ HERE

Forced Out Before They Got Started, Prosecutor Declares.

A group of men reportedly attempting to organize a nation-wide horse race information headquarters here have left the city to avoid arrest, Prosecutor David M. Lewis said today.

"Mr. Lewis said his investigators learned the syndicate had opened offices in a downtown building here. He said he had been investigating the group's activities here several days before an assistant of the U.| S. District Attorney at Chicago! publicly revealed opening of the headquarters.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIME! ree, Work Shop at Riley Hospital Turns Ou Braces to Fill in Where Nature Failed

Inside a glass case at Riley Hospital stands the outline of a 10-year-old boy's body, waiting patiently for him to put it on in a few days. Just over three feet tall, the out-

.|line is nearly as high as his shoul‘|ders. It is complete except for arms,

shoulders and head.

The outline is an orthopedic brace that soon will encase the boy’s body in a firm grasp, supplying an exterior skeleton to brace the crippled interior one. It will be his constant companion until he outgrows it or until his crippled body mends sufficiently that he won’t need it anymore, The chances on the latter are slim but they are a glimmer of hope for a boy who would like to play like other children. The brace, fashioned of metal, leather and cloth, is but one of more than a ‘dozen built specially for tiny patients af Riley Hospital in the Orthopedic Appliance Shop and now awaiting their use. A total of 166 were built last year, 299 were repaired, 126 new shoes were altered; 26 shoes were repaired and about 75 jackets were fashioned at the shop. Each was an individual job, made by four skilled workmen at the hospital. The brace shop has been maintained at Riley Hospital since the hospital for children was first built.

The shop consists of three workrooms and one storage room and is filled with special tools and machines for making substitutes for nature’s shortcomings. Against one wall are stacked crutches, ranging in height from 24 to 60 inches. In the storage room are outgrown braces and those no longer needed. Material for these are salvaged for new braces. To construct Taylor-back braces, which encase the patient’s trunk, a plaster cast is first made in the hospital orthopedics clinic from the patient’s body. A “plaster form is then made from this cast and horsebide fitted over the form. Next stocking cloth is stretched over the horsehide and painted with liquid cellulose, which forms a hard shell when dry. Other types of braces manufactured at the workshop are metal frames for arms and legs, arm braces made in the form of metal plate to which the arm is strapped and metal and cloth frames to support weak backs. Theron Davidson is in charge of the shop and is assisted by P. S. Burns, Marion Hobbs and E. L. Griffith. : Mr. Griffith is only an apprentice

in the shop, but as an indication of

of these assistants to nature, he spent 13 years working in the hos-

pital’s surgery ' department before being transferred to the Orthopedic Appliance Shop.

Te Board of Directors of the Info Christian Missionary Association today issued a statement praising the services of Dr. G. I. Hoover, who retires as general secretary of the association, Jan. 1, 1941. ‘ “Coming into office at a difficult

of Jaepsadn, upset and exacting reconstruction, Brother Hoover has proven himself an exceptional person, His work has been constructive, his spirit admirable, and his contacts universally acceptable,” said the statement signed by the Rev. Ephraim 'D. Lowe, Joel Lee Jones and the Rev. Ray H. Montgomery. : “Now that hie has given notice of his | retirement, at least from so many. larger responsibilities, we know that he will not lose his zeal for the work of the churches, and we ‘hope that he may be permitted to place into manuscript form some of |the findings of his rich and fruitful ministry.” Dr. Hoover presented his resignation last July. He is to be succeeded by the Rev. Mr. Lowe, president of the Board of Directors. Dr. Hoover has served three years on the! board of directors, seven and one-half years as the evangelist in the [Eastern district and 14 years as executive secretary.
