FIX CAMP FOR men
Quarantine for Social Diseased
at Lansing Prison.
Treatment Similar to That Ac-
corded the Women.

In a final order today the state
board of administration made final
the plan to establish a quarantine
camp at Lansing for men suffering
from venereal disease. Treatment of
men will be similar to, that accorded
women, under the plan of the board.
Nearly 100 men suffering from social
diseases are now at Lansing and the
board order makes effective and final
the states program for treatment of
men.
Several actions to prevent removal
or men to the Lansing farm have
come before the court. In view of
the fact that final action in establish
ing a mems firm has not been taken
a weakness was found in the operation
of the act. The board today, how
ever, gave official notice that the
quarantine camp would be located on
the state penitentiary reservation at

Declaring that there was no place
in Topeka big enough. except the fair
grounds, to entertain the full force of
the Woman's Club, 450 strong, Mrs.
w. A. McCarter, president, in decid-
edly vivid talk this noon at the Cham
Der of Commerce. outlined the plans,
aims, and ambitions of the women in
their endeav0r to construct a club
house.
at luncheon today at the Chamber of
Commerce In a brief perturbation,
Mrs McCarter traced the development
of the club and outlined the history of
achievements made by the organiza
ton, such as bringing art exhibits here.
closing of stores on Saturdays the
Mothers club, the Providence asSo-
citation, the child labor law. the Crit
tenton home, the reception of Kansas
soldiers, both the men of the Spanish
American war, and the world war. and
many other features due to the con-
sistent, patient work of the club.
The answer as to whether or not a
club of such high caliber and such a
tremendous value to the community
and state should be suitably housed
in order to carry on its work to the
best advantage was left to the discre-
ton of the assembly. Only one poSsl-
BILE decision could have resulted. Fol
lowing the speech, the men of the
Chamber of Commerce voted unani-
mously to lend all possible support to
the club women.
-5Fhe Woman's club has already pur-
chased ground at Ninth and Topeka
avenue, valued at the time of purchase
at $4,000. and worth several thousand
more at present. They have $4,000 in
their treasury and mortgage worth
$500.
Mrs. McCarter did not today disclose
the plans of the women for raising the
funds necessary to erect a suitable
building but indicated that they were
not in doubt as TO the final outcome.
AS to the maintenance of the club
house, she left no possible doubt that
it would be accomplished.
Mrs. McCarter was introduced by
Carroll Merriam, president of the
Chamber of Commerce. After her
