phans, it was announced at the city head

ton Yesterday.
About the same time this large subscrip-
ton was reported at headquarters, 6-year-

his pig" bank and counted out IL cents,
the entire contents, which he offered to
help buy food for some Armenian child.
Renewed efforts to reach the goal or
enough money to support 1000 ornhans
were urged by Edgar H. Evans,
the war chest decided that, owing to lack
money to the fund.
The war chest board strongly Endorsed
the movement, however, with the follow
ing resolution:
Whereas, the war chest board by rea-
son of lack of income can not make an
appropriation for the near east relief;
and
Whereas, this board realizes the i'm
portance and necessity Of this humane and
charitable work; be it
Resolved, that we earnestly indorse
the movement and sanction the efforts
that are being made to raise funds for
this worthy purpose
For the conduct of the appeal today the
city has been divided into districts, and
each team assigned to a district. All
team workers will wear near east relief
badges. Workers win be assigned to the

FIGHT CLOSING
OF GIRLS WARD
Woman Declares Move Will Be
Social Menace to City.

Club women of the city who know of
the things accomplished in the girls de-
tention ward at the City hospital, are up
in arms over the announcement of the
city board of health that 1t will be
closed Monday,
Lack Of funds is given by the board of
public health as the reason for closing
the detention waSd.
The American War Mothers of Marion
county have adopted resolutions of pro-
test and they will be taken to Mayor
Jewett by a committee of women.
eff this ward is lost at this time
twenty girls suffering from infectious
diseases many of them placed there
through order of the court--wiu be
turned out on our streets without home
money or friends" says a resolution
adopted by the war mothers. THESE
girls have been placed in this ward that
they might regain their health and self
respect and be given an opportunity tc
become useful citizens"
The detention ward has interested many
prominent women of the city, after Its
object was explained at club meetings
by Miss laurel Thayer. probation Of
flcer of the city court
Members Of the Local Council OF Won
en- American War Mothers and other or
gnnizations visited the ward and en-
couraged the girls kept there, suffering
from social diseases. Many women have
made gifts to the girls there, have
helped make clothing and given furniture
to the ward.
1T is more dangerous to the commu-
nifty to allow these girls TO roam the
streets than to permit a person in the
last stages OF tuberculosis TO so among
us" said one Of the women interested in
the detention ward yesterday.
"Most Of these girls arc creatures Of
environment. They need the protection
of the ward until pronounced physically
sound. Then they need the help OF the
good women OF the city, and this help
will be forthcoming"

NOBODY WANTS
CITY CONTRACTS

An unstable market in building mate
rails and the labor shortage may cause
a serious delay in improvements of city
streets. No bids were presented yester-
day BIZ contractors to the board of pub
lie works. which had called for bids on
ten public improvements.
Estimates on the improvements were
based on the present market prices OF
building materials 1t is said that 1t is
impossible for contractors to get quota
lions for longer than twenty four hours
In advance on materials. Members OF
the board of works said today that con-
tractors could not safely bid on improve
ments, basing their bids on the present
market prices.
According to Dwight s. Ritter, city pur-
chasing agent building materials have
increased 30 per cent since last year and
indications are that they win rise still
higher
Another element entering into the fail
ure OF the board to receive bids on pro-
posed improvements is the unsettled con-
dition of labor, according to local con-
tractors.
Cement and concrete seem to be the
most Irregular In price and the hardest
to obtain, according to members Of the
board. 1t is believed, however. that suf-
Ecient asphalt can be procured TO carry
on the paving program.
1t was decided today 10 readvertlse
improvements on which no bids were re-
ceived during the middle of April in
hopes that IL will be possible for con-
tractors 10 estimate the cost OF improve
ments ut that time
BIDS FAIL TO COME

No bids were received on the following
sidewalk improvements: Minkner street.

LAUDS RED CROSS
FOR FLU SERVICE
DR.. Morgan Praises Work in
Fight Against Epidemic.

The work Of the local Red Cross in Civ
ing free instructions on the care and pre-
vention OF influenza cases in the city dur
ing the past epidemic proved to be highly
commendable, according to a statement
yesterday by DR.. Herman G. Morgan,
secretary OF the board OF health.
DR.. Morgan said that the Red Cross
spread knowledge that not only proved
useful during the epidemic, but which Is
also expected to prove valuable In future
epidemics OF respiratory diseases.
An increase in the death rate from
pneumonia during the month of March
is predicted by Or. Morgan, especially in
ease of bad weather. He said that March
Is known as an unfavorable month for
pneumonia and that the few cases OF III
remaining from the epidemic will prob
ably aggrayate respiratory cases during
the coming month. The prediction does
not mean, however, that the death rate
for the month win be above normal. In
view OF the health situation, Mr.. Nor
gan was of the opinion that the home
instruction classes Of the Red Cross
society should be continued for the pur-
pose Of instructing citizens in the pre-
ventiOn OF infectious diseases.

DOUBLE-EDGED
SWORD AWAITS
RENT PIRATES

The double-edged sword of taxation
will be used to curb rent prohteering in
indianapolis, Stanley Wyckoff, fair price
commissioner, said yesterday
Demands will be made upon the United
States internal revenue collectors and
upon local taxing officials that alleged
rent profteers pay taxes to the full
amount of their charges for rent, he
added.
Rent profteers also were attacKed -oy
Mr.. WyckOff as citizens disloyal to the
city.
Every city has the problem OF hous-
ing before 1t now" he said, "and the
surest way TO injure the Industrial
growth Of any city is to hold up the
working people in the matter of rents.
Not only are these men hurting the city,
but eventually they will injure them
selves. because if they hamper the
growth Of the city they also keep their
property from becoming more valuable
The fair price commission has received
many protests against increases In rent,
according to Mr.. Wyckoff. Many of
these come from the east part of the. city.
particularly from railroad men who rent
small houses. -,.
Reports were given 10 him, ie said,
that one man who owns many houses had
Increased the rent in jumps so that it rep
resents an increase from SIS TO $50 a
month for small houses.
Il am calling into nv office owners
Of large numbers Of houses. and ques-
tioning them concerning the increases,
value of their property and other ques-
TONS" said Mr. WyckOff
Il also win have men examine the
valuation placed upon these properties
for taxation. The whole result OF the
investigation will be laid before the in
ternal revenue officials and before local
taxing officials. 1t will be up TO these
officials to tax them accordingly" he
added

demanded yesterday by the commit
tee Of Indianapolis citizens who are
planning for provisions for the ma

TO GOVERNOR.
The committee meeting was held at the

this promise in view, a bill Providing
for a S10OO0O00 appropriation for the
building was not accepted at the one
day session.
Since the promise was made by the
governor he has indicated that he is
undecided whether to call a session. The
climax came when it was announced
