CHARLES TO RETURN

TO THRONE IS PLOT SEEN BY PARIS PAPER . By Associated Press) PARIS, Aug. 24. Former Emperor Charles has planned with Admiral Horthy, the Hungarian regent, a restoration of the Crown in Hungary, says the Geneva correspondent of the Journal. The return of King Constantine to Greece is declared to have been made the precedent in the

Many of these who were out for the experience, found the going much easier in Michigan Canada, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois than in their native states. One fellow reports that in Niles,

Mich., one can stand on a viaduct

Old Ones Avoid State One experienced rod-rider states that the old bo will travel 500 to 1,000 miles out of his way now to avoid Indiana. He stated that many of the travelers nowadays bolt into Indiana on trains loaded with hoboes because there are so many inexperienced men traveling on the free plan now. The statement that experienced hoboes avoid Indiana is borne out by officials here. They state that it is very seldom that an old-time hobo is picked up heading across Indiana-

Hungary will appear at the meeting of the assembly of the League of Nations in Geneva, next month and ask for admission, says the correspondent in outlining the alleged plan. In the event this appeal is granted, the Hungarian parliament would be dissolved, and the government would call for an election in which the dynastic Question would be the principal issue.

By J. N. Hurty, M. D., State Health Commissioner i Not a little typhoid is handed to us. I mean, the hand we shake sometimes transmits typhoid infection to our hands; then we transmit the infection directly into our mouths, or indirectly by handled food. Typhoid hands often hand typhoid around on the rims of milk bottles, on bread, on berries, on sandwiches, or other foods, handled as thee are handled. I hate to have a "grub clerk" in a dairy lunch hand me a sandwich with

an index finger he has just removed from the region of his nostrils. This is not nice, and besides the nostril may contain some kind of disease infection. I hate also to have milk handed to me which has been dipped from a reservoir with a teacup held by fingers which have made recent excursions into the mouth. Yes, it is true,

not only typhoid infection, but the in

fections of other diseases are handed

around on hands. Let us quit shaking

hands and instead simply salute as soldiers do. This would abolish one of the ways by which disease are transmitted. . Did you f ver see a person cough or sneeze into his hand and then shake hands with another? That certainly is not nice, and perhaps one is not a crank for calling attention to this nastiness and advising its early discontinuance. f Typhoid and all infectious diseases

are a disgrace, for, said the great

Pasteur most truly "It is possible for man to drive all infectious diseases from the earth." Typhoid and other diarrheal diseases we can readily drive from the earth. Yet we stupidly suffer from them. If it would not immediately bring upon me the epithet of crank. I would suggest we do without typhoid. Typhoid, and let me add intestinal intoxication, which brinsr almost limitless hell on earth, could be banished for one-tenth of what it costs to have them. There is much virtue in separating ourselves from typhoid fever, for it is true that typhoid, like sin, is a reproach to any community.

Between August 1 and Christmas,

370 persons now living in health in our

state will die of typhoid fever, and

there will have occurred at least 4,000 cases and 25 per cent of these cases

will contract consumption in convalescence and eventually die. Of course, a small percentage of these post-typhoid consumptives may exper

ience an arrest of the disease. Consumption can not be cured, it is only arrested, which in a sense is as good as a cure. And let us know right here the time to cure consumption is before it begins. In other words, prevent it. A typhoid hand, owned by a "typhoid carrier," handed typhoid to seven persons at a summer hotel in Indiana recently, and three of them died. Beware of the typhoid hand.

Stoddard, Columbus, president or the j Ohio Building Association League, whose address today opened the thirtythird annual convention of the Ohio Building and Loan association. Systematic saving for home building is necessary, Stoddard asserted. Increase of interest rates on postal savings, the speaker said, would take money from each community, that otherwise would go into home building channels. He asserted that present laws should be changed so as to permit savings and loan associations to bid upon inactive funds in the state treasury, the same as banks do now.

The "little entente" composed of Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo Slavia and Rumania, threatened to declare war on Hungary when Charles attempted to resume the throne last March, and should they repeat this threat after Charles has been called from Switzerland, the league would be asked to avert hostilities. The correspondent asserts Charles has no intention of quitting Switzerland for Spain or any other country, as his present residence is ideally located for the carrying out of the alleged plan. ...

until this time had been used as a lunchroom. Iron beams have been put across the ceilings to which arc. attached streamers supporting the

shafts and counter shafts. The shop equipment is being installed. A number of small rooms back of the domestic science room on the north side of the building have been thrown into one room. At the east end of the room a partition separates a smaller dining room for the faculty, which will make it possible for instruc tors to hold conferences during the non hour. Simple System in Use. A kitchen equipped with two ranges, a sink, cupboard, refrigerator, and a large pantry filled with shelves is at the west end of the lunch room, separated from it by a long room with apparatus for scraring. washing and drying dishes. Student? will enter a door at the. west end of the room, pass in front of the counter tor their tood, receiving checks at the end of th counter. They will pay on their way out the east door, thus eliminating the confu sion and delay caused in the other lunch room by the changing of money while other students waited in lin with their trays. In order to carry waste pipes to the kitchen and adjust a difference in floor levels in the par-

down and old parts replaced. A saving of about 50 per cent has been realized, it is said, in the making of additional cabinets and lockers for the buildings this summer. These have been designed by Mr. Whisler and built by the carpenters and janitors instead of incurring the added expense of outside contracting. At Garfield Junior high school the parts for two portable buildings to be erected north of the school building, have arrived and are being constructed. These buildings are to supplant the annex on North Twelfth street. Both are one story buildings, 24 feet by 78 feet. One will be used for a gymnasium, the other for woodworking and electrical work.

COMPLETION OF WORK ON DENNIS SCHOOL BUILDING IS NEAR

Practically all the rough work on the David Dennis Junior High school, on West Seventh street and Peacock Road, is completed, according to the men in charge of its construction. Grading and. shaping of the building will be started upon within a few days. The school will be the best the city of Richmond has ever had, and will have modern equipment for every practical science: Bricklayers Nearly Done Bricklayers have about completed their work and it is thought they will be done in about 10 days.

The setting of the stone work should be completed in 10 days or two

weeks, it is said. After this work is completed, the finishing work will commence.

Roofing of the building has been started and several sections are nearly completed. All the roofs will be of tile, and it is their plan to have

the roofs tiled and completed by the first of October. Floors Are Laid

A large percent of the rough floors

have ben laid. Painters and plaster

ers have also started their work and will be working for quite a while to

come.

Steam fitters, plumbers and electricians have practically all of their rough work finished, such as laying the under ground, work and the trunk lines of their respective trades. Work of finishing up these departments will soon be started upon.

vices from the state department in Washington, it was understood here

Mr. Surnmerlin is understood to have suggested to the foreign secretary that such a conference might

prove a means of reaching an am

icable settlement of petroleum problems. When the secretary said such a conference would meet with the ap

proval of President Obregon, the necessary arrangements were made. Reports current here state that the initiative was taken by the American state department, which communicated

its opinion to the oil men and met with a ready response. Optimism

over the international situation in creased here yesterday and predio

tions were made that recognition

would be extended by the United States as soon as the oil question

was settled, which, it was believed

would be before the middle of Sep

tember.

It was said the American oil men

would first meet Adolfo De LaHuerta.

would confer with President Obregon.
