The 191.' ditch law provides for the securing f contracts on the cleaning of n entire ditrh. Where property owners aree, the trustees will ahide hy the old law. In th opinion of County Atty.

The purpose of the law is to aid in preserving the roads. The trustees agreed that more f-triet attention should be jriven to the prosec ution of violators of the law. The matter of greatest importance to come up at the next meeting will be that of arran-ing for the turning over to tin -ounty of some SO miles of free graveled roads. The portion of tin- automobile tax now received back from the state by Kt. Joseph county is based on the existence of only 10 miles of county free graveled roads. This amount of the automobil tax money received by the county can be trebled if all the graveled roads tan be put under the supervision of the county superintendent of roads. This applies to such roads as have the regulation 20-foot road bed. To turn such roads over to the -ounty it is necessary to secure the petition of three freeholders for each mile of road. At the next meeting the trustees will plan also for uniform methods in carinsr for the improved roads and in improving other roads.

SAYS MUCH SEX VICE DUE TO MISUNDERSTANDING Arthur A. Puissant Diucs )uestion of Publicity Campaign With AxotK iateti Charities. Arthur A. Poissant. secretary of the World's Purity federation, lectured Monday afternoon at the regular weekly meeting of the council of the Associated Chanties. The speaker's message was the education along the lines of sex teaching. Two points especially were stressed by Mr. Puissant in his talk. He advocated the raising of a $2",000 fund to be used in conducting a publicity campaign in which pamphlets printed in many languages might be distributed. The second point in his lecture was that the puMie should be awakened to the pitfalls and dangers of society, and hat parents should instruct their children about sex problems. The speaker's theory for the prevalence of so much sex vice and trouble was that there was a lack of understanding on the part of many persons. He held that eugenics should not be taught in the public schools at the present hecause the teachers are not prepared nor equipped to gi'.e this Instruction.

SOUTH END CLUBS

A K AUDI UM

Ordinace Calling For $35,000 For Building Presented to Council. Supported by the Federation of South End Civic clubs, an ordinance was presented to the city council last night providing for an appropriation of $3,500 to be used in the erection of a gymnasium and auditorium upon the property adjoining the Franklin school, which was recently purchased by the school board for playground purposes. Gus Haslanger headed a committee from the federation and made a short address to the council, pointing out the need of such a building in the south end. The ordinance was referred to the committee of the whole for consideration and will be taken up next Tuesday night, when it is expected that a large delegation of south end citizens will be present to express their sentiments. "There are a number of reasons why the south enl. should have this institution," asserted Mr. Haslanger in his address to the council. "Peculiar conditions exist in the Franklin and Elder school communities in that there is no public or private buildings where people can get together in a mass meeting, for entertainment, for athletic events or for other such affairs. This is no fault of the council, but in all other sections of the city there are places where the people of the community can assemble for such purposes. -No M cot I ns I 'laces. "Just at this time it is the fashion to use the school auditoriums for such meetings and affairs, but if you will remember about eight or 10 years ago the auditorium of the Franklin school was condemned and the same action was taken regarding the Elder school four years ago. "In the south end there is not even a vacant lot where the children can play. If the 670 children at the Elder school were turned loose at once there would not be enough room on the school property to hold them. It is dangerous for them to play on the streets. The same condition exists at the Franklin school." Mr. Ilaslanger then went on to tell of the organization of the Federation of South End Civic clubs, which includes the Franklin, Elder, Lincoln, Studebaker and Oliver clubs. He told of the formation of the body shortly after the first of January and of the birth of the project which is now before the council, showing that it emanated from the people themselves and from the school authorities. CoiiM Be Used Kvery Day. "This building which we propose to have built with the $3,500 appropriation could ;!e used every day in the year," declared Mr. Haslanger. "We have taken up the matter with architects and contractors and find that we can build a building which will cover the ground, providing an open air playground in the summer time and a warm meeting place and gymnasium in the winter time. "About a year ago this council appropriated the same amount of money to the J. I). Oliver playfield. and therefore if the expenditure was justified at the Oliver field we feel we are justified in asking for the Kime amount for the erection of an institution which can be used every day in the year." It is understood that the project was first taken up with the school board. This body declared that it had insufficient funds on hand to take care of the project and asked that it be referred to the common council. According to the representatives of the civic clubs, there is not an Improved playground in the south end, and they feel that the council will le justified in devoting some of its recreation funds to that section of the city along with the improvements on the west side and other communities. Approve Ordlnamv Book. Rules were -suspended for the passage of an ordinance approving the publication of the ordinance book which has been prepared by City Atty. Eli F. SeeTirt. All city ordinances effective on Jan. 1, 1916. are included in. the book, which will sell for $1.50 per copy. The council also took action providing that a charge of 50 cents be made for each j copy of the building code. Residents of the vicinity presented a petition to the council a-skins that the alley east of Park av. and running south from R'verside dr., be named Dushane ct. The petition was referred to the committee of the whole along with the ordiance providing for an appropriation of $203.24 to the park board for the payment of the Ieeper park street assessment and was passed. GIVES VALENTINE PARTY l Mrs. V. I- Cadr Entertains at Bn-: fayette St. Home. The young ladies of the First Church of Christ Scientists were entertained by Mrs. W. E. Cady of 230 N. Iafayette st.. Monday evening with a valentine party. The residence was very prettily decorated with hearts strung on ribbons festooned from the walls. Candles were also used.
