THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Concerning Fredisposition.

BY DR.. LAWRENCE F. FLICK.
Some families undoubtedly are
more prone to tuberculosis than
others. This is true not only of
families but of races. Predispo-
sition is usually divided into
three kinds-individual, family
and racial. The individual pre-
disposition is often brought
about by improper living and by
excess in eating and drinking.
Family predisposition may be
due to inherited tendencies or to
environment under which the
family lives. Racial predisposi-
ton appears to hinge largely
upon the length of time to which
!. the race has been exposed to the
disease and the resistance which
the race has built UP against the
disease.

HONOR ROLL.

October 1st. 1t is, If we remember
ed correctly, when the fiscal year OF
municipalities end and when the Fl
nancial reports for expired year are
required by the code to be published.
This has never been done in Leakes-

good deal of quiet grumbling about
what disposition is made of the mon
ey. Those who put it up have right
to and want to know where and how
it goes.

WORK ON CANAL
OVER FORSYTHE BEGUN
East Chicago, in Order Not
to Delay Work, Puts
Up Bond.

Work on cutting the canal across
Forsyth avenue under the new bridge
was begun this morning by the Great
Lakes Dredge and Dock company. No
sooner was the start made, than the
city stopped the operations, pending
the furnishing of a bond to cover pos
sfble damages.
The question then arose as to who
should be liable. The East Chicago
company maintains that the city should
be responsible, while Mayor Schlicker
contested that the Great Lakes Dredge
and Dock company should furnish a
bond. The East Chicago company,
finally. rather than delay the work,
agreed to put up the bond
1t will be necessary to remove the
bridge for time while the dredge is
going through, but this will be done
bodily. the bridge being replaced intact
after the channel is made and the
dredge located on the other side.

machines which fracture the speed
laws above the church Young Mr.
Dresser was tickled sick with the job,
he got his a short while ago for
speeding. He stationed himself at the
Forsythe avenue canal bridge and
made his arrests from this point of van
tage. Ten of the speeders were arrest
ed and brought before Judge Lewis, be-
ing fined 81 and costs each, amounting
to S11.
Mayor Schlieker is considerably
SIRED up over the idea of dicsredfting
his bulletin posted in the Automobile
club, and young Mr.. Dresser. II is un-
derstood. is going to throw up his job
on account OF the slurring remarks that
have been made to him concerning his
pay generally.
1T looks as though Judge Lewis was
out after a little easy money" said
Mayor Schlieker. 1T is outrage to
arrest people for speeding in what is
practically a country road, especially
when as / understand II, many of them
were not going at a particularly high
rate of speed at all. Such officiousness
will have the effect of keeping automo-
bilists out OF East Chicago. which is
just what we do not want to do. Fur
thermore. the city police department is
| fully competent to handle all such

this plan has just been inaugurated. 1t
has the approval of the National Edu-
cation Association. while some 500
cities have already begun to keep the
cards. Eventually, IT is anticipated.
about 100000 pupils will be thus
tabulated.
With the new card-catalogue system
in full operation throughout the coun-
try, definite and scientific answer can
be made to a large number of questions
the solution to which must now be
guessed in large measure. How many
times has given child been detain ed

in a given city's schools? How does
this showing compare with other
cities? Does foreign birth affect pro

affect progress?

Gary was rocked from one end TO

shortly after ten o'clock yesterday
morning. The blast disturbed services
at the churches and those in the streets
looked towards the mills in an anxious
manner. Bye and bye those who look

cloud of muddy-colored smoke hover

The form of card contains the fol-
lowing entries among others: Age of
child date of admission to schools:
grade; days present; health; conduct;
scholarship; place Of birth; vaccinated;
name and occupation of parent or
guardian.
AS the child moves from grade to
grade, or from building to building, the
card containing his past record will
follow him, as will also be the case
even If he should move from one city
to another In this way his entire past

Canadian by Birth.
Hugh Edmund Keough was born on
Jan. "a, 1854, at Hamilton, Ont, and re-
ceived his education in that city. From
the time he was II years old until his
death. a period of thirty-one years. he
devoted his life to newspaper work.
Mr.. Keough's first newspaper work
was on the Spectator in his native city.
He afterward worked in Indianapolis
and Logansport before coming to Chi
cago in the early SOS. The competition
was keen in the local field at that
time, but his sharp and trenchant pen
earned him the position of sporting
editor of the Times a. a time when a
sporting writer was required to know
every subject. He held this position
for seven years. and then served In a
similar capacity for the San Francisco
Chronicle and New Orleans Item.
In 1S9 Mr.. Keough was married to
Miss Bertha Atherton of Dubuque. Ia.
Always fond of outdoor life, Mr..
Keuogh. through his newspaper work.
became connected with horse racing
and served as an official at Washing
ton park and the other Chicago tracks
as well as at every important course in
the middle west He was one of the
first to foresee the finish of CONNER

away his "old tools" he termed his
newspaper experience.

Some time not long ago. Mayor
Schlieker caused to have posted in the
Offices of the Chicago Automobile club
a notice TO the effect that East Chica-
go offered the best road east and south
from Chicago for machines. Incident
ally it was stated in the notice that
"speeders" would not be molested IN
Forsyth avenue on their way south un-
I'll after they had passed the Catholic
church While some distance above
that Forsythe avenue is within the city
limits. the absence of houses north Of
this point makes IL comparatively safe
for swift travel II was for this rea-
son that the Catholic church was
named as the point where speeders
were to slow up. The result has been
that machines by the hundred have
been picking the East Chicago route
to go east and south from Chicago.
And now comes Judge George H
Lewis and takes note of the many ma
chimes that whizz through East Chi
cago. He had Claude Dresser ap-
pointed a deputy constable to lie in
wait on his trusty motorcycle for the
