MORE THAU 56,000 MENTAL DEFECTIVES 1H STATE, DR. SMITH "There are more than 56,000 mental defectives in the state of Indiana, was the astounding fact which vraa laid Dare by a recent survey," stated Dr. S. E. Smith, superintendent of Easthaven, in an address before members of the Klwanis club Thursday. "That number of mental defectives is two and one-tenth percent of the total population of Indiana. Of the total : number of these people, 44,000 are feeble minded, 8,000 are insane, and 4,000 are epileptics. This is the

actual result of the survey made by the Indiana committee on mental defectives. This committee has functioned in this work without much publicity, but it has surveyed the schools and civic organizations and has' made a clean sweep of the state. Expensive Survey "This survey was expensive to put across, but the Dare facts now lay be- i rore us ana the big program of the state is to continue and advance the work in taking care of these people. All these people are not in need of care, but nearly 21,000 are in need of constant care, and from 1,000 to 1,200 who are insane need the utmost attention. "To get to the source of this great defect and stop it In the making is the big program of the state." Dr. Smith declared that 95 per cent of the 56.000 cases could have been prev.ented, inasmuch as the causes are not so numerous. He stated that 20 per cent of the causes were from venereal diseases, a small per cent due to alcoholism, and the other . cases were ones which must be individually fought. Worst Existing Conditions "In the poor sections of the country is where the worst of conditions exist. The stronger boys and girls, men and won en, get out of the poorer districts, but the weak remain and are the ones which are subject ' to the awful defects. That is one. big reason for the large number.. "For the prevention of advancement of these defects, a venereal clinic is established in the Institution at Easthaven." The astonishing fact which Dr. Smith brought out in his talk, was the fact that 200 cases of the immediate community are under constant treatment in the clinic at Easthaven. Dr. Smith declared, "The greatest menace to civilization today, is the mental defective. Last year, a total of 70,000 cases were reported in the United States." Wants Marriage Provision Dr. Smith emphasized the necessity that no marriage license be granted without a period of two weeks,' notice before the marriage tie was made. In this way, the doctors and 'officials might be able to act -to the 'best of their judgment, as to whether the marriage should be permitted. . . At this time, Dr. Smith turned to the problem of caring for the children of the state..' "The James Whitcomb Riley hospital for the children of Indiana will be one of the greatest -institutions in the state., it will give the best of care to the children of Indiana who need attention. If Wayne county sends a child to the""hospital, a fee will be charged for the attention, but if the county does not send a child, no charge will be made against that county for the support, of the hospital." "Y" Worker Speaks Phillip Gillett. for 18 years connected with Y. M. C. A. work in Manking, China, was called upon for a short talk and responded with an Inspiring mes"When you leave the coast of China for the good old United States and you near the country of the Stars and Stripes, it is one of the greatest feel-j ings which, any American can realize.: When I landed at Seattle the mountains were so beautiful that I could r.ever realize the wonder's of God's country. . . The sight of, the Stars and Stripes sent a tremor down my back, and the thought of home struck me with a thrill. , ' "I urge you men of the Kiwanis club to avail yourselves of .the wonderful things which this country stands for iind I want you to know that" I am proud of America and its wonderful opportunities." , . MAY REGARD BRITISH PLAN AS EVASION i By Associatad Press.) GENOA, April 27. It is apprehended that the British proposal to call a meeting of the signatories of the Versailles treaty may be regarded as an attempt to evade the express condition that reparation should not be discussed at or in connection with the Genoa conference, says Henry Wickham Steed in a dispatch to the London Times. It is therefore thought very doubtful,

3Ir. Steed adds, whether premier Poin-'gnap

tare or fT-ance win accept tne uruisn suggestion. . In one quarter, neither French nor British, .Mr. Steed continues, the idea has been mooted that in view of the extremely. complicated situation at Genoa it would be far better to suspend the Genoa conference for six months in order to leave time for some of the controverted issues to mature and try and dispose of the reparations problem elsewhere. , DISCOVER MORE LOOT TAKEN BY THIEVES Additional loot in the form of china and silverware and a 40-volume collection of "The World's Best Literature" was gathered up by the police Thursday morning at the home of Albert White, arrested yesterday on a burglary charge. The china is believed to have been taken from the Shirk refrigerator company warehouse. It includes pieces .of Haviland and Japanese ware, and some handpainted pieces, and a considerable amount made in England and France. Cut glass articles were also numbered in the collection. Navajo and navy blankets, women's clothing, a fur cap and numerous other articles are included in the collection. (The office of Chief of Police Evers!man looks like the interior of an Oriental bazaar. Evcrsman is disposing iof the stuff as rapidly as he can find I owners for it, however.

A bulletin by President Obregon's private secretary, Fernando Toreeblanca, says mat the proposed' presentation of a Mexican nag to the city of Philadelphia, which was prohibited by officials of that city, was not planned at the instances of the Mexican government but upon specific invitation to Senora Obregon, the president's wife, from members of the Pan-American Round Table.

THINKS CUBAN SUGAR SURPLUS WILL BE ABSORBED BY OUTLET By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 27. The outlook for solution of Cuba's sugar problemn is more promising at present than for many months past, according to a survey of the situation prepared by the commerce department. Reasonable estimates, the department said, will place the total available Cuban- sugar for the year at 4,700.000 tons, and the solution of the problemn rests upon the ability of the world's consuming market to absorb that quantity in addition to 2,000.000 tons of tariff protected output. Hopes of the Cuban sugar trade for nn advance in demand, the department declared were based on. the invisible trade shortage of refined sugar in this country estimated at 400,000 tons. The increasing population and consumption in the United States; the continuous absorbtion of sugar by world markets even during the height of Cuban production, and the marked demand in Europe and the Orient for raw and refined sugars from Cuba and shortage recently apparent in the far east. ' - Sugar is moving from Cuba even to the far east, the department reported, and optimists are sure that the year's demand from England and France, estimated at 800,000 tons, will provide an outlet for a portion of the balance, the United States will be unable to absorb.

Children Leave to Free Fathers From Prison (By Associated Presi.) NEW YORK, April 27.

Premier Poincare today submitted to his cabinet the proposition from Prime Minister Lloyd George of Great Britain to convene the supreme council at Genoa. Consideration of the question was put over In order that further information might be obtained, from Vice Premier Barthou, head of the French delegation at Genoa. Official circles here indicated their belief that there was little prospect of an early meeting of the supreme council at Genoa. It is understood that M. Poincare called the attention of the cabinet to the fact that the question of penalties to be applied to Germany was one of eventuality only a question that would come before the allies only when the reparations commission had finished its negotiations with Germany. If Germany defaults, then the commission will notify the interested powers. Until then, the premier pointed out, the question would not be regularly before the supreme countll. The latest information received from Genoa indicated that the repara tions questions and Premier Poincare's Bar-Le-Duc speech were the principal things Mr. Lloyd George desired to have the council discuss at Genoa. Consequently, M. Poincare is reluctant to accept the proposal. In any case, it is declared, it will be necessary for him to await the return of President Mlllerand from his African trip. There fore, he would not be free to go to Genoa before the second week of May.

E. Duffin, secretary of the state board of health, Thursday.
