CONDITION DEPLORED Delegates Told That 15,000,000 of 20,000,000 Are Diseased. (National News Association) SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 8. The address of President E. T. FairChild, who recommended radical reorganization, and the report of the Committee on Health Problems, which charged that more attention was given to cattle than' children, attracted more than usual interest at the National Education" Association's sessions here. , Advisory Council Wanted. President Fairchild recommended the selection of an advisory council, consisting of three persons, two of whom fchould serve for a term of years. The third member should be the President of the association ex-officio. He declared this reorganization of management to be necessary because the association lacks continuity of action. The investigation into the neglect of the moral and physical health of school children, joint reports of which were presented by Dr. Thomas D. Wood, of Columbia University, and Dr. It. W. Corwin, of the University of Colorado, will be pursued further. "In many sections of the country the average rural school house in relation to its purpose is not as well kept or as healthful as a good stable, dairy barn, pig pen, or chicken house," declared Dr. Wood. Government's Action. In supplementing Dr. Wood's report Dr. Corwin said: "What more could be expected of a government that creates a cabinet department for animals, but fails to recognize one for man; that appropriates millions for brute heredity and little or nothing for human eugenics?" Dr. Corwin gave figures on physical and mental diseases that caused a lively discussion. ' He said that 15.000,000 out of 20,000,000 school children in the United States are diseased. He attacked not only the sanitation of schools, but surrounding conditions. C, E. CONVENTION OPENS TOMORROW reat Crowd Expected Los Angeles Plan a "C. E. Week."

SYLVIA RUNS AMUCK 1 1 . And Is Again Hauled Into Police Court.

(National News Association) LONDON. July 8 Miss Sylvia Pankhurst was arraigned In Bow street police court at noon today and put under $1,000 bond tot keep the peace for a year. An alternative of three months imprisonment was given. Mrs. Flora Drummond, another militant suffragette, who could not be tried when her case waifcalled in court because of illness brought on by a hunger strike, was arraigned with Miss Pankhurst on the charge of malicious destruction of property. Her case was put over until October 8, and she was remanded. It developed that the suffragettes burned the Levers mansion because King George recently accepted an invitation to visit there and view the Levers art collection. 1 When the magistrate announced his decision Miss Pankhurst harrangued the court and declared she would not only go on a hunger strike if sent to jail but would abstain from water also. She swore she would kill herself before she would submit to any judge's ruling. ACCIDENT REUNITES ESTRANGED COUPLE (National News Association? SAGINAW, Mich., July 8. It developed that Joseph D. Forbes, the young man who lies in Saginaw general hospital with severe brain concussion is wealthy and has a seat on the New York stock exchange and residences in that city and Cedarhurst, N. Y., the latter a summer home. His wife who is here now has not been living with him for some time but his severe accident brought them together. Forbes will live. Forbes was taking treatment at a Flint Sanitarium and having nearly recovered, motored with several friends to the golf links near Saginaw, Sunday. Returning the automobile crashed into a rig and Forbes was seriously injured. CHURCH CELEBRATED 50THANNIVERSARY Many Attend Affair Held By Chester Methodists Sunday. The Chester M. E. church celebrated its fiftieth anniversary Sunday by appropriate services, at which there were a large number of old members present. At the regular morning services a history, written by Mrs. Theodore Martin, was read. After a big dinner given in the hall to about one hundred persons, a missionary service was held. Another interesting feature of the day was the anniversary poem, written by Miss Lena Hiatt. HE CURSED A WOMAN And Alfred Brooks Brought to Court. Affidavits for profanity and trespass were served on Alfred Brooks, a teamster, this morning following his refusal to remove dirt which he had dumped near the paper mill in Happy Hollow, on ground owned by Mrs. May Rettenhouse, who alleges that the former cursed her when she asked him not to dump the dirt on her property. Brooks was arraigned for profanity this morning, and when brought before the court, completely changed his aspect toward Mrs. Rettenhouse, offering to remove the dirt and make any amends possible. His case was continued until Thursday, and neither affidavit will be pressed If he removes the dirt by that time. Brooks is employed by Clem Gaar to remove the dirt from the excavation of a cellar at Sixth and "North D streets. When Mrs. Rettenhouse asked him to place the dirt elsewhere, he cursed her and laughd when she said she would proscute him. LOUIE LOST JOB AND HIS LIBERTY (National News Association) CHICAGO. July 8 Samuel Cohen was angry. His 15-year-old daughter Sadie, had eloped with Louis Weinberg. But Samuel Cohen forgave, and Louis and Sadie came to live at the Cohen home. Everything was lovely. Then Louis lost his job as elevator boy in a down-town building. Samuel Cohen's anger arose again. "That boy, Louis, is all right, yet," he said, "and he's a good elevator boy, but a son-in-law without a job is no kind of a star boarder for my house." So today Louie was locked up on a warrant sworn out by Samuel Cohen. He must tell a judge why he swore that Sadie was 18 years old when he obtained the marriage license. Clear Air. In Mexico the air is said to be clearer fhan anywhere else in the "world. At any rate, it is the only country where a view exteading to 200 miles can be obtained. By climbing to the top of the Sierra mountains the lonely peak of Mount Sparta can be seen. It would take four hours for an express train to Teach it.

Vocational Guidance and Training

How the Vocational .Guidance Survey of New York city voluntarily became the Vocational Education Survey, because those in charge believed that the really needful thing was to train children to be efficient rather than to find jobs for them for which they were not trained, is told in a document just issued for free distribution by the United States Bureau of Education. "What the children really want," says Miss Alice B Barrows in the Bureau report, "Is vocational training. The kernel of truth in this popular movement for vocational guidance is the need of vocational training for children. Vocational guidance should mean guidance for training, not guidance for jobs. Hence, under present conditions, the interests . of public school children can best be served, not by the establishment of a vocation bureau, but by the development of vocational training." The survey was undertaken by a joint committee of the Junior League and the Public Educational Association. It was organized for the purpose of studying a group of New York children leaving school to go to work. In the hope of determining wh'at vocational guidance should mean to the public schools of the city. Like all careful investigations of recent times, LABOR WAR STARTS IN WEST VIRGINIA Striking Coal Miners Opened Fire Upon a Mountain Camp. TWO MINERS MISSING (National News Association) CHARLESTON, W. Va., July 8. Rioting such as has made life and property in the Cabin and Paint Creek coal fields unsafe for more than a year past, broke out anew here last night when strikers numbering about one hundred and fifty hidden in the thickly wooded hillside opened fire with rifles upon the mining camp of the Cabin Creek Consolidated Coal company at Ohley on Cabin Creek. The firing started about 6 o'clock when some of the miners who refused to obey the strike call were leaving the mine. Two miners whose names were not given out are reported missing by Supt. Harry Davis. Sheriff Bonner Hill was notified of the shooting and he held a hurried conference with Governor Hatfield. The sheriff was advised to consult with Judge Henry K.t Black of the Intermediate court and Judge Samuel D. LIttlepage of the Kanawha circuit court, since it is the duty of those officers under the law, to attempt to handle the situation before calling upon the governor for assistance. Power Plant Damaged. It is estimated that nearly 5,000 shots were fired from the hillside. Many of the bullets were directed at the power plant and it is especially damaged. This morning the rioters turned loose a heavy mine motor at the mouth of the mine and started it down the long slope toward the tipple ! below. Before reaching the tipple the motor was derailed by the carcass of a mule which had been previously shot down on the tramway. The Ohley mining camp is at the mercy of the rioters as the company has but half a dozen watchmen in reach. Sheriff Hill is expected to send a posse to their relief soon. Ohley is located between Askdale and Miami, both of which have large strikers' camps. At various points along Cabin Creek, scattering shots were fired from the hills this morning, but no casualties are reported. VALUABLE CLUE IN WINTERS CASE (National News Association) NEWCASTLE, Ind., July 8. Dr. W. A. Winters, father of Catherine Winters aged 9, mysteriously missing since March 20, today wired Chief of Police Copeland of Cincinnati that he had received a letter from a Mra. Woodworth, 708 Race street, Cincinnati, which threw new light on the Adrian, Michigan, woman's arrest and gave valuable information in regard to the missing child. Previously the woman gave the Cincinnati police a description of a man and a woman who stopped at her house with a child resembling the Winters girl. Sh said that from the description of Mrs, Vance she was positive the woman now under arrest in Adrain was the same woman who had stopped at her home. It is expected that Mra. Woodworth will be sent .to Adrain as the police, at Cincinnati express considerable confidence that the woman arrested at Adrian has knowledge of the missing girl's whereabouts. Poetry and the Child. Read poetry to the child. Read easy, simple verse, read nonsense verse, read real poems, read sometimes such poems as "Thanatopsis' and bits of "Paradise Lost" Of course the child will not understand the thought, but he will enjoy the sound, and he will unconsciously learn the words. Poetry was never meant to be read to oneself, but always to be read aloud or recited. It is harder than prose. The order of .the words is often like our everyday speech, and the words themselves are frequently different Here especially children need help. If they find it they learn to love poetry, and there are few things that so sweeten life as a genuine love for poetry for Its beauties and for the helpful lines that come to one's mind in hard places. Home .Progress Magazine.

this survey demonstrated that "economic pressure" accounts for only a small proportion of the children who leave school to go to work. Investigation of the children at work showed that what they wanted more than anything else was "a job where you can learn." In most instances they were not getting it. For

the most part their work meant noth-j ing to them; they were rapidly devel- j oping a "feeling of protest against the j lack of individual attention and training; against the military discipline and inexplicable tasks." On one point the New York report is unusually explicit. "There are no jobs for children under 16 which they ought to take," it declares. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for more information about industrial conditions before attempting to steer boys and girls into positions. "Neither the vocational education survey nor any other organization has adequate information at present about the demand for workers or the opportunlties and conditions of work and trainj ing in the twenty larger industries. not to mention the legion of smaller ones." Until more exact information is at hand the vocational guidance movement, says the report, will remain "little more than a body of good intentions without any clarified plan." PALLADIUM'S FREE ICE FUND. Previously acknowledged. . . .J44.60 For the first time since the Palladium smarted the free ice fund, no contributions were made today. Although nothing came in, the usual number of homes were supplied with ice, and will continue to be supplied as long as the fund lasts. Many subscribers feel that the relie to the city's sick babies is a work which should not be abandoned, now that it is started, and would willingly make a second contribution. Has the ice fund received your contribution yet? MRS, KNAPP SILENT On Refusal to Parole Husband.

One of Mrs. Maupin's children has the disease. Settlement was made recently by the insurance company which insured the life of Wm. Henry Dayton, whose body was found in the cellar of the house at 1106 North I street last December. Mrs. Dayton received the payment from the insurance company though the premiums had been paid by her sister Mrs. Alice Snyder. The policy was made payable to Mrs. Dayton.

CLUB'S ENDORSEMENT Placed on Draft of Gas Fran chise. At the regular meeting of the di rectors of the Commercial Club last evening the proposed natural gas franchise was unanimously indorsed. The franchise was carefully gone over and studied, and the directors believe there could be no jokers in the clear, concise statements of the proposed contract. PRAISE M LACEY For His Work At the Kokomo Y. M. C. A. Leroy Lacey, son of James M. Lacey, 827 North I street, has resigned his position as boys' secretary of the Kokomo Y. M. C. A. to accept a similar position with the Elgin, Illinois, Association. Lacey was raised in this city, being well known as a soloist. Before going to Kokomo, two years ago, he was in the employ of the George H. Knollenberg Company. The Kokomo papers speak highly of the work which Lacey has done since the organization of the association in that city. He has made the boys' department the liveliest branch of the "Y," with a membership of 250. Many After His Services. Before accepting the position at Elgin, Lacey received offers from associations over the country, that had heard of his work. Indianapolis, West India, and other branches bid for his services. While in Kokomo Lacey was soloist at the Grace M. E. church and his singing was in demand at Y. M. C. A. conferences everywhere. He was the chief soloist at the world's conference of the Y. M. C. A. in May. Until he became boys secretary, Lacey had never been connected with the association as a worker. During the last two years he has specialized along this line. He has taken the summer training courses offered at Lake Geneva, and but a short time ago studied for several weeks with a number of boys' secretaries at Culver. The Kokomo Tribune speaks highly of him saying, "In the leaving of Mr. Lacy, Kokomo loses one of its most popular young men, and the place he leaves vacant. will be hard to fill with a man as competent as the one just leaving. Every one is wishing him success in his new work and will welcome him should be ever return to Kokomo." CRUELTY TO COPS TOPIC DISCUSSED Commissioners Favor Allowing Officers to Keep Cool. The police commissioners met last night and chose as a topic of discussion the effect of the hot weather on policemen. It was suggested that the present rule compelling officers to wear coats, buttoned from tdp to bottom, no matter how high the mercury soared, could be classified as cruelty to cops, so Chief Gormon was instructed to permit his men more liberty in dress during the summer months. The chief will probably authorize the wearing of light uniform blouses if the officers desire to do so. and the night men who elect to stand by their coats can occasionally slip them off 1n secluded spots on their beats to get a litUe airing. Some of the officers are opposed to wearing blouses on the grounds that it would result in an immodest exposure of their revolvers, thereby subjecting themselves to charges that they were trying to impersonate cowboys. Going 8low. George F. Baker, the noted financier, was for many years J. Pierpont Morgan's close friend, and in analyzing Mr. Morgan's success Mr. Baker once said to a New York correspondent: "He was not the Impetuous, headlong man of action ' he has been pictured. He acted, but he acted deliberately. He once gave me this advice advice which, he always himself followed: Be sure you are right then pausf for reflection. "New York Tribune.

BLAZE WAS BENEFIT

Removed Undesirable of Foundry. Roof A spark from a cupola of the Reliance Foundry at Sixteenth and North F streets, ignited the roor of a small sand shed in the rear of the foundry yesterday afternoon, causing a fire which resulted In a financial gain of several dollars to the company.
