“WEDNESDAY,

| QUACK DOCTOR ~~ MENAGE ITED

* Public Must Lead Way to Avoid Persecution Cry, Doctors Told.

The public, not the doctors, must . take the initiative in stamping out the menace of quacks, Albert Stump “told the Marion County Medical Society in an address last night at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. . Mr. Stump, an attorney, said that when medical men have attacked - Fhe quack problem, the quacks invariably have banded together to -cry that the doctors are suppressing “their rivals for selfish purposes. - “No greater service could be ren"dered to the public that the com“plete suppression of quackery,” he Said. “The tragedies of blindness, -deafness, insanity, and death have been multiplied needlessly in every community as a result of quackery which delayed efficient and competent .service of conscientious physicians past the time when scientific medicine could effect a cure. “When a person is sick, he grasps at a straw. He may not have the hardihood of spirit to be able to accept the facts regarding his case with equanimity. He may fear he has cancer, yet dread definite true information for fear his apprehenSion will prove well founded. « “So he stays away from the -scientific and honest physician and .hunts some one who will tell him he ~-has no cancer. He dreads to face “the truth, * “Then he is easily persuaded by -the quack that he must claim he is ~being improved — that failure to -make a claim is a failure to co-op-<erate with the quack, and that a

«failure to co-operate interferes with |§

“the quack’s cure.”

9 HOMES HELP MOTHERS, TOC

St. Elizabeth’s and Suemma Coleman Show How to Provide for Babies.

St. Elizabeth's and the. Suemma Coleman Home are more than homes for unmarried mothers—they are places to make a new start. Both of them are homey-looking places. St. Elizabeth's, at 2500] Churchman Ave. was founded in 1921 when Msgr. Maurice F. O'Conner was director of the Catholic Charities Bureau. Suemma Coleman Home, 2044 N. Illinois St., has had a longer career. Founded in 1907, it has been known | as the Door of Hope, and the Flor-| ence Crittenden Home,

So be smart! Take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, famous for over 60 years in help“ing hundreds of thousands of such weak, rundown, nervous women to go smiling thru this “trying time.” Pinkham’s Compound, truly a “woman’s friend,” is made from : nature's roots and herbs to- help

Jobs are obtained, whenever possible, when they are able to work again and the babies are kept at the

| homes until the mothers are able to

take them. Both places were fouhded to take care of unmarried - mothers and their babies. As a matter of record, they are clinical adjustment bureaus where new lives begin and are shaped.

Social Workers Aid

Each problem differs. The case system was installed years ago to provide a flexible program for individual problems. Each home has a social worker. i Mothers are getting pre-natal and post-natal care there every day. No one is refused entrance and there are no fees at St. Elizabeth's unless the mother is able to pay. The Suemma Coleman home has a small fee for out-of-county patients. In no case do the fees equal the expenses, That's where the Community Fund comes in. It helps raise money to make up the balance needed to run the homes. Next Monday the Community Fund. will start its annual drive for funds for these and 35 other agencies. The fund goal is $688,500. 2

ITALY TO USE LESS COAL THIS WINTER

ROME, Oct. 2 (U. P.).—Italy is reported to have completed a program designed to provide minimum use of coal and maximum use of substitute fuels for winter heating purposes. Ww Proprietors of apartment houses, shops and factories will be limited to 20 per cent of the amount of coal they burned last winter. The deficiency, it was planned, will be made up from lignite, of which Italy has considerable quantities, charcoal and wood.

Hoosier Goings On 'RENTS' CELL | Thinks Jail Is Rooming House; Indiana 'Banana’ Crop Is Good

By JOE COLLIER

THERE'S A CERTAIN Linton, Ind, man who it seems, goes on a bender now and then. When he does; he’s smart enough to know that it’s best not to go home, but at that- point all traces of wilyness stops. The last three times he has, in his cups, started out to find a room=ing house for the night. But on each occasion he has mistaken the jail for a rooming house.

First time he got 60 days and 25. Second time, six months and $25. Last time, six months and $50. | He admitted to the judge that a few drinks are likely to get him awfully mixed up.

GOSHEN CHIEF of Police Ray. D. Auer has this to say for whatever smarty is responsible for snipping wire: clothes lines at six Goshen homes! “If the party or parties com-

mitting these malicious acts think what they're doing is funny, they have a very poor sense of humor.” In addition, Chief Auer said he will make every effort to apprehend the wise guys. ® a = WHEN A 35-year-old Ft. Wayne man, accompanied by his bride-to-be entered the County Clerk's office in quest of a license to wed, he fell to the floor in a faint. A registered nurse gave first aid and a physician was called. The physician ordered a cot and the man had to lie down for two hours. Moreover, the doctor advised that wedding plans be postponed for a few days. % Both the man and his intended said it was all right about him having to rest for those two hours, but that the wedding plans were going on schedule. It was the first marriage for each.

SOMETHING'S GOT to be done about the Bloomington High School football ticket system. For instance, last Friday night when Bloomington played Sullivan, the paid attendance was 1489. That figure, also, coincides with ° the number of persons who saw the first half. Sorrowfully, officials report, however, that close to 4000 persons saw the last half. They came in informally over the fence at the half. It was a record-breaking crowd, the officials said, salvaging what they could from the situation.

That is the goal of the department, following a statistical survey

of the time and cause of accidents in the final six months of the last school year. Of the 134 children injured, only 24 were injured going to and from school. Eight of these were bicycle riders and seven were passengers in automobiles. The next biggest cause was the often-repeated offense of crossing in the middle of the block. The greatest number of injuries 50 occurred between 3:30 and 6 p. m., just after classes were dismissed. Week-end injuries were greatest between noon and 3:30 p. m. when 23 were hurt,.

Long Week But Not for Studies

CLEVELAND, Oct. 2 (U. P).— The average college student is on a 41.42 hour recreation week and spends more time in leisure pursuit than in study, class attendance or part-time work, Porter Butts, of the University of Wisconsin, declares. Mr. Butts, director of the Divi-

University, told delegates to the 25th National Recreation Congress yesterday that one-third of the average student’s leisure is “spent in loafing, bull sessions, radio listening, drinking and car driving.” “Beside leisure pursuits, the American college student spends more time doing but one thing,” Mr. Butts said. “That thing is sleeping.”

to review budgets of certain units which carry a tax rate above the | statutory limitation of $1.25 ‘for townships and $2 for the county. | Nearly all local tax rates are high- | er than these limitations. The law also provides that the budgets may be reviewed upon appeal of 10 tax-| payers. Department heads of local gov-| ernmental units also may appeal for! restorations of any cuts made by the Adjustment Board. The biggest cuts made by the Adjustment Board involved the county welfare depart- {

ment budget. ‘ :

Although he has not declared his | intentions of appealing, it is predicted that Thomas Neal, depart-| ment director, may ask for restora-| tion of some of the more than! $226,000 cut from his. department budget.
