NATIONAL CONFERENCE TO CONSIDER HOUSING AND PUBLIC HEALTH
(By Associated Press) DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 22. Plans are developing rapidly , for a national health conference to be held in Detroit Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, at which representatives of health departments from all of the larger cities in the country will discuss the housing situ-1 atlon and its street upon the health of the people. Officials of the local board of health are conducting a health survey to determine the difference in death rate between centers of the city that are -crowded and those where the number of persons in a given territory is not as great. Similar surveys are being conducted in other large cities of the country and reports will be submitted at the meeting here. Detroit Is Surveyed. The Detroit survey is a repetition of one conducted in 1919. Several cross sections of the city were chosen for the survey and representative blocks in these sections inspected. The death j rate per capita is being figured upon the following factors: The number of families in each apartment The number of persons in each room. The number of persons using each lavatory. The number of persons on each acre. The number of roomers. In previous surveys a much higher death rate was found in crowded cen ters than in less populated districts, and the same finding is expected this. year. The aim of the conference, according to Dr. Henry F. Vaughan, Detroit's health commissioner, is to bring to the attention of the country the danger of over-crowding.

He held the position four years, studying while ho was teaching others. When he was twenty-one years old his family moved to Centerville, and Henry Fox quit teaching school.

Julian, one of the most famous lawyers in this part of the country, until a few years later, when Oliver P. Morton surpassed him. A,' Studied Under Julian. He studied under Julian for four years.

He serv. ed thirteen months in Company C, 57th Indiana Infantry. He participated in the hard fought battle of Pittsburg Tending. Julian was at that time preparing to enter the fight with Senator Hale, on the Free Soil ticket, for the highest offices in the country. Hale, after ten years in the congress, had been nominated for president, and Julian was running for the vice presidency. When Judge Fox returned late in the year of 1862, he found Julian making his preparations. He decided to assist him, but later turned against him. In Johnson's Office. Judge Fox then took up the study of law again, but not under Julian. He was in the office of Judge Nimrod H. Johnson, father of Henry U. Johnson, an attorney in Richmond. Judge Johnson was elected judge of the common pleas and the criminal court at that time, and gave his assistant, Henry Fox, much practice in law, helping him to secure a firm footing in his profession. Judge Fox was elected district attorney in 1862 for the common pleas courts of Wayne, Fayette, Franklin and Union counties. For that reason be remained with Judge Johnson but for a short time, when he decided to open an office for himself in Hagerstown. He was re-elected in 1864. Duties of the office of district attorney was difficult work at that time, the district attorney being thwarted wherever possible. Especially in Union and Franklin counties. Judge Fox was forced to resort to little trickeries of law in order to prosecute those who were arrested. Often those who committed offenses went into the hills, where they remained safely until the statutes of limitations made it safe to return to the towns. Traveled on Horseback. As there was no other means of transportation to the county seats, where the courts were held. Judge Fox traveled on horseback and in a buggy. He became well acquainted in all four counties and was known as one of the most promising lawyers in this section. His term of office expired in 1867 and he then moved his law office to Centerville, which was then the county seat. Shortly after this, he entered his name as candidate for the office of judge of the superior court of Wayne county on the Republican tiket. He was running against Judge William A. Bickle, one of the most popular men in the county. Judge Fox campaigned all over the county, making speeches in all the town halls, addressing the farmers from his carriage and making stump speeches. It was a hard fight and he won out. He was elected for six years, although he did not serve that length of time. Means of transportation improved and the legislature decided that county superior courts should be abolished. Made Many Speeches. During his term as judge of the superior court, he was called on from

Morton before Morton took the office of governor. Morton's office had been just across the street from that of George W. Julian, under whom Fox studied law. There was bitter enmity between Morton and Julian. The fight between the two did not last long, as Morton, with his splendid physique, commanding manners- and quick wit, obtained the reputation of being the best lawyer in this part of the country. However, the hatred between the two remained after Morton had ceased to be a resident of this part of tho country and had passed from the governorship into congress. In a political speech at Economy, Fox, when judge of the superior court, attacked George W. Julian and exposed him in many ways, which before had not become public, because of the sway which Julian held in the county. The Indianapolis Sentinel printed the story and it was copied by other papers in the country. Morton Praised Fox. At that time Oliver P. Morton was at Washington. Morton, hearing of the speech, returned to Centerville and personally congratulated Judge Fox. He later secured for hf the appointment of judge of the appellate court after four years of service in the superior court. Judge Fox was appointed judge of the appellate court by Governor Chase In 1892. He served in this capacity for a year and a half, when he retired to re-enter active practice at the bar. When the county seat was moved from Centerville to Richmond, Judge Fox moved to this city also, taking up his residence here inlS73. The writings of Judge Fox then ame in demand and he was unable to fill all the calls which came to him. However, he wrote many newspaper articles which were published throughout the country. Later he wrote the "Adventures of a Philosopher, a Dun Mule and a Brind'e Dog." After he became judge of the Wayne circuit court he wrote the book "Uncle Zeek and Aunt Lida." The first edition went so fast that a second one had to be printed. After the removal of the court house to Richmond, the older set of lawyers disappeared and Judge Fox and a few others practically held the reputations formerly carried by Oliver P. Morton, Bickle, Johnson. Julian and the other famous jurists of the county. Elected in 1896. Judge Fox was elected and took office January 1, 1896, for a term of six years, as judge of the Wayne circuit court. He also served a term in the Richmond city council. In 1910 Judge Fox was called on to write an article on a solution of the divorce question. He wrote this for the Palladium. The Chicago Tribune printed it. Later it was copied and printed in most of the metropolitan papers from New York to San Fran cisco. Judge Fox was always an uncompromising Republican.

(From the St. Louis Times) WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. It will be just about ten years from now hpfnrp the last drop of whisky is drained j from the government warehouses if wunarawals are continued at the averaere rat rf the firt fnnr- mnnfViM nt j national prohibition. But if withdraw,als continue to be made as they were I during March and April, it is safe to figure that the last barrel will be rolleu uui ul me warenouses in less tnan six years. During April there were 755,554 gallons of whisky removed from warehouses in the United States on legitimate certificates, according to data compiled today by the bureau of internal revenue. In January, the first month of nation-wide prohibition, withdrawals amounted to 282,033 gallons; in February, 246,989 gallons, and in March, 765,944 gallons, a total for the first four monthts of the year of 2,049,520 gallons. Jan. 1, 1920, 15 days before nationwide prohibition became effective, receipts were outstanding against the government for 57,498,126 gallons supposedly stored in warehouses. Whisky stored in other than government warehouses is supposed to have brought the totals up to approximately 61,485,148 gallons. At the average rate of withdraws so far, 10 years will see the withdrawal of 61,485,600 gallons. Withdrawals on legitimate certificates during March, this year, amounted to y2 million gallons more than withdrawals during March last year, when only part of the country was affected by prohibition. But unless fraudulent withdrawals on forged permits are completely stopped, the supply on hand is doomed to even a shorter period of existence. While no statistics are available as to Fair Complexion . Conceals Age Rid the Face of Pimples and Such Blemishes by Using Stuart's Calcium Wafers Surprising How Youthful One Looks. Pimples, blackheads and other facial blemishes may be traced to an excess of impurities being eliminated through the skin and this condition calls for calcium to enable the process of elimination to be carried on more completely. It is the Calcium in Stuarfs Calcium Wafers that has given this complexion beautifer such a wonderful reputation. The results are soon noted in a much finer texture, the gradual disappearance of the blemifhes and a really beautiful complexion. This is considered the correct way to a handsome, lily-like skin. Get a 60 cent box of these wafers at any drug store and observe how nicely the skin soon clears. Advertisement. REBUILT CARS The Best Line In the City.
