POLICE BACK UP CHICAGO
BEACH HOTEL IN LAKE GRAB


Efforts of the Chicago Beach Hotel
to monopolize part of Lake Michigan
for private bathing caused a battle
yesterday between special and city
policemen and bathers. The latter
denied that the hotel had right to
fence off any portion of the beach.
Through an agreement with the
city some time ago officials of the
hotel company caused a high fence
to be erected to the east of the hotel
and to the waters edge. The idea
was to keep free bathers" off the
beach.
A special policeman was detailed
yesterday to see that no one trespass-
ed. Shortly after o'clock a crowd
of bathers rushed the policeman. The
police say William Paris, negro, led
the crowd and he was arrested on a
charge of disorderly condust.
City policemen came to the rescue
of the special cop and the crowd was
beaten back.

Congress.

"Oyertopping all other road
problems in it's Importance is
that of maintenance" says lo-
gan Waller Page, Director of
the L. S. Office of Public Roads
and President of the American
Highway Association. "1'he
destructive agencies of traffic
and the elements are uncensing
in their activities and it is idle
to talk of permanent roads any
more than to speak of a house,
fence, or railroad ties az per
manent," says MIR. Page. "'rhe
public roads today, by the rcas-
on of the exceptionally de
structive traffic conditions, are
more costly in construction and
this is continually increasing
with the advances in the prices
of labor and material. il is
criminally wasteful, therefore,
to invest large sums of public
money in building the high
ways demanded By traffic, un.
less the Investment is conserv
ed by adequate maintenance.
Without such adequate main
tenance a road costing any
whore from $1,000 To $4,000
per mile may go to ruin in n
year or two thus involving a
permanent loss of considerable
magnitude
"When it is considered that
the aggregate expenditure on
roads in the United States is
well over $500, 1000, 900 annually,
the seriousness of the question
is apparent. look To the con-
ference OF highway officials

Fourth American Road Con

vote much attention TO road

Keep Open
Public Schools.
State Health Authorities Hope
to Reduce Time Schools
Must Be Closed on
Account of Diph-
iberia.

Richmond, va, OCTOBER =
On the eve of the month which
is usually more marked than
any other for diphtheria, the
State Board of Health today is
sued n bulletin in which it ask
ed the cooperation of school
officials and teachers in an eff
for, to reduce the time some
public schools are closed in var
ious parts of the State by reas-
on of diphtheria among their
pupils.
The Board points ont that
cases are frequently reported
where the appearance of diph-
liberia III n school necessitates
the temporary closing of the
school but that lack of investi-
cation sometimes keeps the
school closed much longer than
is necessary Tho Board be-
lieves that the support of the
school officers and patrons will
make it possible to open schools
that are closed without such
long delays az have been re-
ported in the past.
Experience has shown
says the Board, "that if the
proper steps are taken, schools
which otherwise might be clos
ed for several weeks on account
OF diphtheria can be re-opened
within few days after they
suspend exercises. The all i'm
portant thing is to determine
which children have suspicious
throats and which, if any, are
the carriers of diphtherin. This
can be done by psychological
examination. Just as soon as
all children with suspicious
throaIs or with evidences of
the germs in their throats are
sent home for treatment and
ARE kept away from school dur
ing treatment, the schools can
usually be re- opened In some
schools, investigation has dem
onstrated that the disease was
being spread by a few children
who showed no evidence of
diphtheria but had the active
germs of the disease in their
throats. Sometimes single
such carrier" has been found
and has been quarantined who
might otherwise have been re-
sponsible for the frequent and
mysterious recurrence OF diph-
iberia in its class or school
1--WE have in diphtheria anti
toxin the greatest remedy over
discovered for the prompt cure
of disease. Where antitoxin
is used during the early stages
of the disease, diphtheria can
be cured without the least dan
ger to the children. To give
this remedy to all who need it,
the State has perfected arrange.
