Immune from Diptheria (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Feb. 26. Some persons are born with something in their blood which makes them immune from diptheria, according to the New York City health department, which announced today that, because of an increase In the number of diptheria cases here, it would give free tests for the immunity and supply artificial protection where it is needed. The discovery that certain persons never fall victims to the disease is comparatively recent, officials of the department said. A drop of "test liquid" is injected into the blood and from the reaction it is possible within four days to determine the presence of a natural anti-toxin. Thus far this month there have been reported 1,130 cases of diptheria and 150 deaths, as against 633 cases and 95 deaths In the corresponding period last year.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 2(5 Imnnr. tant to the state highway commission am mienaea to cianry ana strengthen it were to be offered to the senate to. day by the senate committee ; on roaas, oi wmcn senator uooyns is chairman. Principal among the amendments to bn nrflnnid tn thn hill as it was passed by the House are tne louowmg: : - 1. All collections for antomnhiln II. censes, beginning on Jan. 1. 1920, will do aevotea to tne state highway fund The house bill reserves $800,000 an nually from license fees for distribution amone the countrieo. 2. The state hlrhwar 1tv nrip-lnol. ly iu cents on tne siuo, and increased oy tne nouse to 15 cents, will be restored to 10 cents by the senate committee. 3. The 1 commission shall lav nut prior to Anril 1. 1920. a svstam nf high ways that will reach to every county seat in' tne state. Thereafter' such roads : will be under state mainten ance. 4. The state director will hn siih. Ject to the commission In all his acts. b. u ne lour members of the commission will receive a ner diem of Sin and expense for all time actually re quired on state Business. In its amended form the members of the senate committee believe that the bill is in every repsect a stronger measure than at the outset. Chairman Dobyns pointed out that the provision for giving each county seat connection with the state highway system not later than April 1, 1920, would insure a State-Wide nartinlnatlnn nl. most from the start in the funds of tne state system. All such roads will be maintained . hv thn etata tmt in many instances the amounts of money to be expended annually on them, even before new roads of permanent type are constructed, will, go far to offset the money which the counties have been receiving under the automobile license distribution. Common sense Is. not so common after all. Words are a poor substitute for work.

to Insure sufficient returns on the Investment. Retailers of building materials said that the cost of materials will not decrease until the price of labor does. So far as can be found out it is said that the cost of building materials will not come down for a year or two or perhaps longer. Labor must be employed and some inducement should be created to Inaugurate improvements. It is probable that a committee will be appointed to start a campaign such as Is being carried on in other places to Increase housing facilities and employment, for labor. Part-Time "Y" Secretary
