CEDAR POINT. o., Aug. 24.-The
home shortage is local rather than
national problem. declared John ].
Stoddard, Columbus, president of the
Ohio Building Association League,
whose address today opened the thirty
third annual convention of the Ohio
Building and Loan association. Syste-
matte saving for home building is
necessary, Stoddard asserted.
Increase of interest rates on postal
savings, the speaker said, would take
money from each community, that
otherwise would go into home building
channels. He asserted that present
laws should be changed so as to permit
savings and loan associations to bid
upon inactive funds in the state treas
ury. the same as banks do now.
More newspaper advertising by
building and loan associations was
urged by Don L. Tobin, publicity direc-
tor of the Ohio Building Association

Not little typhoid is handed to US.

transmits typhoid infection TO our

directly into our mouths, or indirectly
by handled food. Typhoid hands often

sandwiches. or other foods, handled as
these are handled

LIBRARY IN CHICAGO
OWES ITS START TO
BRITISH LIBERALITY
(Ry Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Aug. 24-When Chicago
this Fall observes the 50th anniver-
sary of the great fire that destroyed
this city, 1t will recall that its public
library, now the second largest in the
world, was born in that conflagration.
The library owes its start to British
sympathy for the stricken city which
found its expression in books.
The prime mover in England was
Thomas Hughes, author of Tom
Browns School Days" His proposal
resulted in 10000 volumes besides a
sum of money being sent here from
Great Britain. The children's room in
the library is called the Thomas
Hughes Room"
The chief prize of the Chicago pub
lie library is an autographed copy OF
The Early Years of the Prince Con
sort" that Queen Victoria sent. 1t was
a volume of memoirs of her husband
that she had had compiled The
Queen inscribed it for Chicago on Nov.
10, 1871. five weeks after the fire OF
Oct. 9, and long before a city library
had taken shape here.

RAIL LABOR HEADS
RESUME WORK TOWARD
TAKING STRIKE VOTE
lRv Associated Pressl

CLEVELAND. O.. Aug. "a The
chief executives of the five big rail-
road transportation labor organiza-
tions resumed their conference here
this morning with members of their
executive committees and assistant
grand officers in an effort to complete
the draft of strike ballot to be pre-
scented to the 100000 active members
throughout the country. The ballot
probably will be mailed early next
week for a referendum vote.
Decision TO draft the strike ballot
resulted from unsatisfactory negotia-
lions held in the past few months be-
tween brotherhood chiefs and railroad
managers following the recent 121a
per cent cut in railway wages by the
United States labor board.
At these conferences, held in the
west, southwest and east, the heads
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers. brotherhood of firemen and
enginemen; order of railway conduct
ors, brotherhood of railroad trainmen
and the switchmen's union of North
America, sought to place the railroad
arrangements of the country on record
against more cuts in wages and
changed working conditions.

Beware Of Typhoid Hand, Says Hurry

Pasteur most truly-''It is possible for

diarrheal diseases we can readily drive
from the earth. Yet we stupidity suffer
from them. If il would not immediate
iy bring upon me the epithet OF crank
would suggest we do without typhoid.
Typhoid. and let me add intestinal In
toxication, which bring almost limit
less hell on earth, could be banished
for one-tenth of what ii costs TO have
them. There is much virtue in sep
arating ourselves from typhoid fever,
for it is true that typhoid, like sin, is
a reproach TO any community.
Between August / and Christmas,
$40 persons now living in health in our
state will die of typhoid fever, and
there will have occurred at least 1000
will contract consumption in con-
valescence and eventually die. OF
course, a small percentage Of these
post-typhoid consumptives may exper-
fence an arrest of the disease. Con-
sumption can not be cured, it is only
arrested, which in a sense is as good
as cure. And let us know right here
the time to cure consumption is be-
fore it begins. In other words, pre-
vent it.

New York stock exchange had real
live bear on its hands today.

take up practically all the flooring in
the new lunch room. Another portion
which had rotted, had to be replaced.
Room 20, adjacent to the principals
office on the second floor, which has
been used for study room, has been
partitioned off with small vestibule
opening into a class room and large

Study Room is Replaced
The room over No. 20, which has

riders prefer TO make detour while
going west.
Reports from youngsters trying the
side-door pullman travel, are to the
effect that all the surrounding states
are more lenient in allowing rides
than is Indiana Many of these who
were out for the experience, found
the going much easier in Michigan
Canada, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois
than in their native states.
One fellow reports that in Niles,
Mich, one can stand on a viaduct
and watch long freight trains pull
through the passenger. yeards of the
city on the average of one east and
one west bound every hour, and on
each of the trains from so to 100
hoboes may be seen, they state.
Old Ones Avoid State
One experienced rod-rider states
that the old DO will travel 500 to
1000 miles out of his way now to
avoid Indiana He stated that many
of the travellers nowadays bolt into
Indiana on trains loaded with hoboes
because there are so many ineXper-
fenced men travelling on the free
plan now.
The statement that experienced no
boes avoid Indiana is borne out by Of
ficials here. They state that it is
very seldom that an old-time hobo is
picked up heading across Indiana.
Many of those who follow the dusty
path have a phrase all of their own
for the Hoosier state. They call it
