1t was in an optimistic manner that
President Webb reviewed the pr)n- :
poets of the league this season. AL
though the western division of the lea
que is a bit uncertain as yet, this is
only with respect as to what teams
will be entered. There seems to be 1t
and Portage Lake will come back this
season with strong teams. Duluth will
probably enter the league again. but
as yet cannot be depended upon. The
Canadian 500 has been hard struck by
the war and the chances of "a team
informed The News, however, that a
couple OF other cities were intent up
on entering the western division and
this will be one of the matters taken
up at Mondays meeting. There is a
probability that a couple OF new
teams will also enter the eastern dlvi-
sion of the league, which is now com
posed of Detroit. Cleveland, syracuse
and Boston.
rThere will likely be but few
changes in the rules that governed
the league last season." said President
Webb. "The league was mos; sue
cessful last year, and We shall try tt
make it even more so this season.
Manager Ferguson Confident.
AS yet the 500 association has moi
taken any definite steps toward or
ganizing for the coming season. Man
ager "Ab" Ferguson. however, seems
confident, that the 500 will again have
seven that will retain the western
division honors and also have better
chance for the United States cham
Lionship than the 500 had last year.
"Muz" Murray. captain of last years
squad, declined to make any definite
statements as to his intentions th;s
year when approached by The News
II is said, however. that the 500 clut
will endeavor to get as many Of last

DEMANDS CLEAN
BILL OF HEALTH
IN MARRIAGES S
Or. Vaughn Urges Examination Be-
fore Granting Certificate

Lansing. Mich, September 14.-Pre-
ventive medicine and some sort of
law like the ANDERSON bill which fail
ed To pass the legislature, in which the
nnermost corners of the state OF
Michigan would be under control of
the state health department at all
times, were the measures urged In
addresses delivered at the annual
meeting of the Michigan state Medical
society.
DR.. G. l.. Kiefer, Of Detroit, presi-
dent OF the state body, and DIR. Vic
tor c. Vaughan. OF Ann Arbor, presi-
dent Of the National Medical associa- =
tion, were the chief speakers.
Dr. Vaughan insisted that with war
retarding medical progress in Europe
the time was ripe for the United
States to forge to the front.
The ANDERSON bill will mark as
milestone in the progress of preven-
tive medicine, but it will not go far
enough" said he. "A law requiring
applicants for marriage license to
make an affidavit will be a dead law.
A man who is afflicted may say that
he is not. our profession must in
sist upon the medical examination of
every citizen, once or twice year, If
the best interests OF public health are
to be served"
The special committee appointed
by the society this morning report
ed as being unanimously in favor OF
the elimination of restricted districts.
Urge Single Moral Standard.
The report of a committee which
analysed the problem of sex impulse
bears directly upon the nations NOR
tality. and says in part: I'm the man
ner of suppression Of vice probably
the greatest divergence of opinion ex-
ists-as to whether greater results
can be obtained by segregation of the
inmates in so-called red light districts
under police surveillance, or by wiping
out the district. In this country at
least public opinion is profoundly
against the legalizing of vice, so the
traffic exists in defiance of law.
"As physicians and guardians of the
public health, we can, as concrete ex-
amples, place before the public ac-
knowledged physical facts, lend our
influence to those who seek to exter-
inmate vice, aid the legislator in his
task OF putting practical laws on the
.ta,uta hoolys tyiva suDport To the laws
of eugenics; encourage the eXamina-
ton under proper restriction of both
sexes before marriage; insist with one
voice on the single moral code for both
sexes.
ION the whole, the committee de-
sires to report no 'watchtul Waitlns'
but satisfactory progress"

ion that the place to invest $500 in
