CONTINUE FIGHT ON
 DIPHTHERIA SPREAD
Health Department Will be Equipped For Schicl< Tests if Dr, Harris
 Suggestion iS Adopted

Tom morrOW afternoon at a meetin 2 of the board of health comm issioners, pr. Jesse R. Harris, supetintendent of the department, will recommend that an appropriation be made to de fray the expenses of giving Schick tests to any who apply for that treat ment. The tests will be given as part of the campaign being waged by Dr. Harris against diphtheria. The pur- pose of the treatment is to determine whether a person is immune to. diph- theria or not, and in the event of @ persons susceptibility being to such a degree as to be dangerous, vaccina- tion will be recommended pr. Harris will also ask for the commissioners ing in the health departments quart CTS at City Hall.
 Should the board decide that the idea of vaccination at City Hall is practicable it is expected that the examining doctors now under the jurisdiction of the school board will be asked to work with the health authorities. This action would bring the departments staff of doctors 10 four.
 Testing and vaccination at this time will have but little effect upon the diphtheria situation for this winter, Dr. Harris explains, but will do much toward preventing a spread of the disease at a later date.

PRESIDENT-ELECT
 IS ON VACATION
(Continued from First Page).

lage on the southern Texas coast, he was ready to plunge unreservedly into the swing of a real vacation. Hunt ing, fishing and golf are the particu- lar vacation offerings of the place but of the three he expected to omit hunting because it never has been among his favorite sports. A morn ing's fishing expedition and an aft ernoon on the golf links were to con- stitute his routine during virtually every day of his visit.
 No Mexican Conferences.
 The fact that Point Isabel lies only six miles from the Mexican border, has given rise to many whispering gs of possible conferences between the new president-elect and representa- tives of the new regime in Mexico but those closest to Mir. Harding were inclined to throw cold water. on these reports. MT. Harding himself said today that no such conferences were lin prospect and that he had heard them expressed only in news paper speculation.
 Not Rushing Things.
 The same attitude was taken by the president-elect toward published suggestions that he might begin be- fore his inauguration informal con- VerSat1onS with European govern nents regarding the formulation of an association of nations. Not only does he want his vacation undisturbed but he has said in public utterances that he desired to have no negotia- tions with foreign agents until he actually had come into authority.
 The delicacy of MT. Harding's posi- ton in that regard has been pointed out more than once by those closely associated with him. Elected to the presidency by an overwhelming ma jority after promising many changes in the nations foreign policy he naturally is looked to by foreign gov ernments to take the proper steps to by proviso of American law, unique among the greater powers of the world he remains a private citizen for four months, forbidden by diplo- matic propriety to take any hand in the direction of executive affairs.
 All Turned Away.
 At time when important interna- with the powers of the old world but with Mexico, Japan. China and other nations, this situation takes on ad- ditional interest. It is understood several men representing themselves, either truly or falsely as the spokes- men of foreign statesmen attempted to gain interviews with MT. Harding at Marion even before his election hut his headquarters officials say all of them were turned away.
