OUTLINES PLAN (Continued from Page One.) probability is all of them will become Its victims unless the county provides some place where this woman can have the opportunity of recovering her health. Their fight for existence is a terrible one and the woman deserves public aid in her efforts to effect a recovery so that she can better care for her children and better safeguard her unborn child." Cites Tragic Case. "Another tragic case I have bee Interested in is that of an unmarried woman who is nursing her month old babe," continued Mrs. Monarch. "She is in the Incipient stage of tuberculosis and the act that she is nursing her baby Is horrifying. This girl was ruined by a married man. He secured a divorce and it was expected he would marry the gtrl he had wronged, but instead he married another woman. "I have also been calling on a color,ed woman who is in the second stage of tuberculosis. She is nursing a baby about one year old. I have heard of several children afflicted with tuberculosis who are now attending the public schools and I personally know of one such case. The father of this child Is confined in the insane ward of the county jail and the mother supports herself and six children by doing five washings a week. How horrified the people for whom this woman works would be if they knew their clothing each week was exposed to tuberculosis germs." Mrs. Monarch says that every one of the tuberculosis victims she has mentioned would be willing to go to tubercular tent colony for treatment. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

SMOKE OF IRONING BOARD ROUTS BOY FROM JUNDY HALL Electric Iron Fires Plank, Bringing Earlham Students From Beds When Alarm and Smoke Fill Rooms. The first real excitement of the year at Earlham occurred last night when fire broke out In one of the basement rooms of Bundy hall. The fire originated in the room in which a number of students had equipped a pressing parlor. They had neglected to turn off an electric iron which set fire to the ironing board and filled the dormitory full of smoke before the alarm was given. When the alarm of "fire" was sounded, the. Freshmen were given their first experience of real dorm life. They piled out of their rooms expecting to find the building in flames. Many of them ran out of doors in their night clothes and afforded an entertainment for the occupants of Earlham hall, who had been aroused. The windows in Earlham hall were filled with faces eager to get a glimpse of the excitement going on in Bundy hall.

Harris Cox, of Indianapolis a Junior at the college, in his attempt to get to the room in which the fire was located, broke a window glass with his fist, cutting his arm with the broken glass to such an extent that four stitches were required. Smoke filled the halls of the building. After several applications of water, the flames arising from the ironing board were extinguished and the boys returned to their beds. TO ELECTOFFICERS W. R. I. A. Opens Business for Year. The West Richmond Improvement Association will hold its first meeting of the year tomorrow evening at 7:30 o'clock in the Baxter school house. Officers for the ensuing year will be elected at this meeting, and a tentative program for the year's work will be considered. The association is expected to take some action regarding the agitation against the west side dump and it is believed it will oppose the actions already instituted by some of the west side residents. Officials of the association admitted the dump question had been freely discussed by members, but refused to predict that any official action would be taken tomorrow night. HAROLD WINS GAME Defeats Foster in Gold Club Cup Play. In the first round of the president's cup tournament at the country club, Harold defeated Foster 3 up and 2 to play, and Engle won over Morrow by the same score. Reynolds won over James. Jenkins, Lighthouse, Knode, Bockhoff, Bond, Harlan, Le Boutillier, Braffett, Sprague, McGuire, Comstock, Swayne, Williams and Porter all drew byes in the opening round. Nine matches remain to be played in the first round. The course is in excellent condition, and the weather has been ideal since the opening of the tournament. Unusual interest is being shown in the match by members of the club. Nine basketball men responded to the call of Physical Director Roach at the Y. M. C. A. last night to discuss plans for the organization of the team to represent the "Y". All the old men of last year's team were present, with the exception of Lanning. Kinder, Harrison and Loehr of last year's second team were present and expect to make some of the old members hustle for regular positions this season. The schedule will consist mainly of games with association teams of Indiana cities. Very few teams outside of the state will be taken on. Another change will be a strict adherence to the A. A. U. rules. Last year the team was allowed to rough it up occasionally, and frequently used the collegiate rules. Mr. Roach be lieves this to be detrimental to team work, and will not allow it this year. The question came up as to whether the men would be allowed to play on the team being organized by employes of the Hoover-Bond company. This team will not take up a regular schedule of games until January 1, and since the "Y" schedule starts much earlier than this, Roach does not think there will be much trouble in holding the men on the "Y" team. Feltman's Conclude 51 Years of Wedlock. Because of the indisposition, of Mr. and Mrs. David Feltman, they did not celebrate their fifty-first wedding anniversary today. The children and grandchildren visited them at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Oelklaus, 231 South Eighth street, where they make their home. They were congratulated. Both the aged persons have declined considerably in the past year, although neither is in danger. Mrs. Feltman has been more Indisposed than her husband, but her infirmities are not of a serious nature. "Y" TO ENTERTAIN MEN FROM SHOPS Tentative plans are being made by officers of the Y. M. C. A. to hold open houqe for factory men and their families during the coming winter. These meetings met with great success last winter and Secretary Learner feels that a great deal of good can be accomplished by bringing the people together in a social way. Mr. Learner is improving slowly from his recent illness, and upon his return to his office win outline plana tot the open

DEMAND COMPLETE ADDRESS OH CARDS Postal Employes Get Orders to Deliver Circulars Only When Fully Directed. Hereafter no postoffioe directory service will be given where incomplete addresses are furnished on post or postal cards mailed in large quantities. This order was received today from the first assistant postmaster general. It is an effort to break up the practice of business houses, railroad freight departments, express companies, lodge secretaries and advertising houses, giving the name and city only without the street address. No effort is made in most cases to ascertain the street address, as the postoffice usually delivers the cards with the aid of a directory. Hereafter cards with no address, except those to persons. known to the mail clerks, will be kept in the general delivery for a short time and then returned to the sender or to the dead letter office. The postmaster general has called attention to the requirements of the government in interstate shipping of fresh meats. A certificate of the farmer, butcher or dealer is required that the mat is fresh and fit for ' human food. This must be filed in duplicate at the postoffice so that one copy can be sent to the bureau of animal industry at Washington.

Home Complexion Peeler Works Wonders To keep the face, neck, arms and hands truly beautiful and youthful in appearance, the treatment which seems most sensible is one which will actually remove the skin itself immediately it begins to age, fade, coarsen or discolor. The only known treatment which will do this, aside from a painful, expensive surgical operation, is the application of ordinary mercollzed wax, which is as harmless as it is effective. The wax is put on at night, just as you apply cold cream, and washed off in the morning. It absorbs the dead and half-dead surface skin in almost invisible flaky particles, a little each day, no discomfort being experienced. With the disappearance of the old cuticle, the newer, healthier skin underneath gradually appears, richly beautiful with the flush of youth. This mercollzed wax,, which you can get at any drag store in original package, is Indeed a Tentacle wonder-workar.

GERMANY SWITCHES . TO DEFENSE MOVE French Military Expert Believes Kaiser Abandons Of

fensive Movements. BY LEASED WIRE.1 PARIS, Sept. 17. According to the military expert of the Matin. Germany has adopted a defensive campaign in France against the allies, while transferring troops to meet Russians in East Prussia and Galicla. The Matin says: "The German position north of the Aisne is food both technically and geographically. It is based upon an important junction of railway routes, providing a means of revictualllncr and escape. General Joffre, however, occupies a favorable position on the center witn a neavuy concentrated force near Sotssons and has at his disposal fresh troops and reinforcements. "It would appear that the German right seeks only to cover the retreat of the crown prince's army in the Argonne district and that Germany is merely trying to keep up the defensive against France while sending troops to meet the Russians."
