tary teachers by delegatnig to its
board Of managers authority which
wuold make possible the calling Of a

cision of the board Of education to fix
the maximum salary of grade teach
ers at $4,000 a year.
The teachers insist the minimum
salary should be $1,000, with a maxi

Health Department
Issues Statement
On NelU Diseases

tBy Arthur r. Lewis, Commissioner
OKLAHOMA, CITY. Jan 81 My at
tention has recently been called to
mild form of skin affection among
school children which is more or
less prevalent at this time in diff
ferent Localities the state. While
the reports received concerning this
disease have been too indefinite for
me to make positive diagnosis,
am strongly inclined to the opinion
that this trouble is form of cutan-
eous eruption commonly known as
"scabes" or itch which is con
tagious disease Of the skin in man
and certain Of the lower animals
due to the presence Of an acrus
scabiei or itch-mite which bores its
way into the skin, producing pecu-
liar LESSONS called burrows, causing
intense itching and dermattis re-
suits from scratching.
The typical location of itch is the
webs of the fingers, the flectures of
the wrists, and all surfaces where
the skin is thin, presumably due to
The ease with which the parasite
penetrates the skin.
This disease is transmitted by
contact with affected individuals or
by the use Of infected articles. Its
transmission is also possible by such
slight contact as shaking hands or
the use of towels or otAer toilet ar
ticles, but is not likely. 1t is usu-
ally contracted in the intimate con
tact of family life, from crowding to-
gether in lodging house $, schools,
etc, from beddign, TO from infested
clthiong
AS itch is a parasite disease there
is no specific preventive, the best
means of prevention being frequent
bathing Ito insure cleanliness, and
avoiding contact with those who
! have the disease
The disease yields very readily to
treatment, the object Of the treat
ment being the employment of such
agents as possess the power OF not
only destroying the itch-mites and
their eggs but also of relieving tie
/ secondary eruption that Is nearly al
ways present. FOR this purpose any
one or combination Of many we'll
known remedies may be used; but
before making Il selection Of a rem
edy it is necessary to consider which
would be most applicable to the par
| ticular case under consideration, and
to choose intelligently one must es
1 pecially consider whether the sub
iect be a child or an adult, the sex
and age of the patient, and the con
dition of the skim whether it is
naturally sensitive, or hardened and
coarse Therefore | would urge that
parents and teachers be on the
alert and give the hands and faces
Of children under their care a super
fical examination and if any eruption
is noticed the pupil should be imme
idately sent home and the parents
asked to consult their family physi
clan.

Collapse of Financial Struc- ture Built by Chas. Ponzi
 Involves Many

BOSTON, Aug. 16.-Assurances that no further bank suspensions ares. likely to result from the COL lapse of theg financial structure built up by Charles Ponzi, Postage Stamp King" and 'Get-Rich- Quick" operator, were given here today by State Bank Commissioner Allen, although he freely admitted that several leading financcrs of the city had been hit heavily and that some might be forced to the wall personally even though the in- stitutions with which they are con pected survive.
 Ponzi, who is at liberty under $35, 1000 bail bond following ar using the mails to defraud and q State charge of grand larceny, con tinues to maintain that he has done nothing illegal in accepting the millions thrust upon him by eager investors lured by his prom ise to return principal and fifty per cent interest within 90 days.
 Ponzi reiterated his claim that he was solvent and expressed confi- dence that this would be substan- tiated by the investigations and that he would soon resume busi- ness. He started with practically no capital, he said, but obtained financial assistance and spent thou sands of dollars in foreign cores pondence.
 T found out" he said "that the postal coupons were being sold in foreign countries for the equiv alent to six cents and could be con vcrted into postage stamps Then all I had to do was to figure how many nickles make a million"
 He continued by saying that when conditions were right" he borrowed from the public, offering fifty per cent in ninety days and would promise to redeem the notes in 45."
 He figured three weeks was about the right time to bank the money. send it abroad, get the stamps and convert them into cash.
 He said he was visited by post office inspector who told him it was legal to buy an international reply coupon abroad and change it into stamps, but that when he in- quired if it was legal to redeem millions of the coupons the int spector replied: ''No," explaining he would have to decide Whet CT they were stolen.
 Ponzi decided to redeem the cou- pons in Switzerland, Norway or some other country where the ex- change rate was the same as in the United States, because he did not want to be within the jurisdic- tion of this country although there was no law against such a practice here.

WARSAW'S FALL NOW MATTER OF
 HOURS, BELIEF
Battle Rages in Outskirts of Warsaw as Reds Cotinue
 to Advance
POPULATION IS FLEEING
Roads to Westward, Only Avenue of Escape, Blocked
 With Fugitives v

WARSAW, Aug. 16.-- Warsaw was still holding out late today against the Russian Bolshevfki att tacks but the battle is raging at the very outskirts of the city and virtually all that the Polish de- lenders can hope for. is to delay it's capture. The main Red forces, out numbering the Poles two to one, were less than ten miles away and steadily advancing the fighting lines despite the desperate resist ance which the Poles offered at every step
 The roar of cannon and the sharp crack of machine guns and rifles was heard by every ear in the capital and almost indescrib- able scenes of terror and confusion were depicted on every hand. Roads to the westward, the only ones which had not been cut off by the invaders, were blocked with crying women, trembling children and feeble old men, many of them laden heavily with the most precis ous of their household goods. and all fighting bysterically to win a way to safety.
