STATE INSTITUTIONS AT CAPITAL TO GIVE TREATS TO PATIENTS

(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 24. There will be no lack of Christmas cheer at the state's three institutions In Indianapolis for tiie sick and disabled. Christmas programs have been arranged at

the Robert W. Long hospital, the Indiana School for the Blind and the Indiana State School for the Deaf. Every member of the staff at the Robert V. Long hospital will assist in making Christmas a joyous occasion for the patients, who, unfortunately, are compelled to be in the institution during the Christmas season. Each ward will have its Christmas tree and many decorations. There will also be phonograph music in every ward. Christmas morning at 6 o'clock the entire staff of nurses will go through the wards and corridors carrying lighted candles, and singing the carols, hymns and anthems of Christmas. A special menu has been planned for the Christmas dinner. - Numerous organizations have assisted the hospital authorities in the Christmas plans, according to Dr. Robert E. Neff, administrator. The Kappa Alpha Theta Alumni association of Indianapolis started the festivities with a Christmas party for the children in

the hospital. The Junior Auxiliary of j the Public Health Nursing association

has had a prominent part in arranging for the Christmas program. Provide For Children :. The Dispensary Aid committee, an

SHANGHAI, AMERICA TO BE CONNECTED

BY RADIO SYSTEM

SMALL SALARIED WOMEN NEED NOT RENT, SHE SAYS

(By Associated Press) SHANKHAI, Dec. 24. Commercial

interests of Shanghai and of China gen-

erally are looking forward hopefully to the opening of radio communication between Shanghai and America to be brought about by the erection in Shanghai in the next two years of a wireless station, which it Is said, will be second to none in the world. The building of this station and of a general radio system for the interior or China is to be carried out by an American concern, the Federal Telegraph company, under agreements lately concluded at Washington between the United States and China. According to plans announced in Shanghai the station to be erected here will have six towers, each 1,006 feet in height, and will have mechanical equipment equal in power to the great radio station at Bordeaux, France. The

system that is to give wireless communication through the interior of China will include stations to be built at Harbin, Peking and Canton. R. R. Beal ,who is engineer in chief of the company, is in China carrying forward work of preparation for the erection of the various stations and a considerable portion of the equipment to be used is in process of manufacture in America. In addition to the ordinary commer

cial service to be provided through t

the Shanghai overseas station it is said that a news service from the United States, which in the past China sadly lacked, is to be supplied.

The protest availed ber nothing. She was held in 52,500 bail for further hearing January 3.

CHINESE COURT OPENS GRAVE FOR EVIDENCE

As a means of adjusting a difference between Chinese litigants who appeared in the mixed court in Shanghai recently, the court directed that a grave mound two hundred years old should be opened. The dispute concerned the ownership of a small tract of ground. In the action Sung Chui-dong alleged that Yih Woo-zoong invaded the prem-

the lease of exploration of oil lands in the Philippines is less liberal to foreigners than it is in America, Gover

nor General Wood, in recommending the amendment of the law, says he is acting on the suggestion of the department of state at Washington. The governor general's message says: "The department of state finds in its efforts to insist on the proper treatment of our nationals by foreign countries in this matter (lease of petroleum lands and other lands containing mineral oils) that it is confronted with the statement that the law in the

Philippines is less liberal to foreigners

An English scientist says that

reptiles are venomous even the socalled harmless snakes. The bite-of a common gras3 snake is poisonou even though it may not prove fatal. For the snakes which have no poison fangs

have venom in tneir blood and saliva, t

and this at once penetrates the minute wounds made vilh their teeth. Frogs, toads, and lizards are poisonous. The poison they secrete varies in

odor. Some s.nells like garlic; that of j

certain kinds of toads smells rather like gunpowder, but the common toad produces a poison with the fragrance of vanilla. Most fish contain small quantities of poison, as many fishermen know to their cost. Dugfish sting with their fins. These fins are actually poison fangs. On the fins are thin spines which have poison glands at their base. When irrhated or alarmed '.he fish erects the spines and the movement draws a drop of poison up through a groove in them hence, when a fisherman's hand is scratched by a dogfish a drop of poison gets into the wound. Strangely enough,' the venom of snakes, toads and fishes acts upon man and lower animals only when it is introduced into circulation, as by a bite or an injection into the veins. Snake posons could be swallowed with impunity.
