PLANS CRUSADE
OF INSTRUCTION

ISOLATION to Lead Health

A crusade to instruct the public of
Indianapolis and Marion County in the
dangers that grow out Of promiscuous

many other places, warnings against the
splitting habit win be sent forth to the
community, Miss Meyers said. State,
city and other health officials and the
police department are to cooperate.
The crusade win be developed along
lines that have produced lasting results
In several American cities, and the even
tual purpose OF the work, the tuberculosis
officials pointed out today, is TO guide
public opinion that enforcement Of exist
ing city ordinances against splitting win
be made easier and additional restrictions
provided for the future health OF the city.
Investigators, under the direction Of
the anti tuberculosis organization, have
spent the last week gathering data on
the splitting situation In public buildings,
on sidewalks and elsewhere. One Of these
Investigators has made a report to the
tuberculosis association, in which he
quotes janit0rs and other officials Of the
downtown district as being in a constant
battle to prevent minimizing persons from
splitting in places from where disease
easily might be spread.
DR.. J. n. Hurry, State health commits
sioner, has written a letter to the local
association, setting out the dangers from
promiscuous splitting. follows;
"Sputum and the secretions Of the nose
are known to carry the organisms eau
sative of many diseases. Among these
diseases are smallpox, diphtheria. scarlet
fever, measles. leprosy. consumption IAN
forms), whooping cough, epidemic polio
myelitis, Influenza, common colds, pneu-
monia, cerebro- spinal fever, tonsilitis,
vincent's angina septic sore throat and
catarrh"
Many organizations, which have named
health chalrmen to cooperate with the
work of the Anti-tuberculosls Association,
have been appraised Of the. forthcomlu ing
health crusade through their officers and
have adopted strong resolutions in sup.
port Of the program. Among these groups
are the Federation Of indianapolis Public
School Teachers. the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, the Salvation Army, the
American Club and others.

GIVES ADVICE
FOR TREATING
TREE INJURIES
Methods of Preserving Shade
Timber Given by City
Expert.


If indianapolis is to preserve ths
beauty of her many tree bordered
streets, care must be taken not to neglect
injuries TO shade timber, George Il
Morgan, head of the special service of tht
city park department warns in bulle-
tin on Tree Surgery" made public TO-
day.
The bulletin is as follows:
Injuries of various sorts are so com
mon on trees that most people are ignor-
ant of the consequence Of neglected
wounds or at least they underestimate
the danger. Every wound, regardless OF
its size, that penetrates the inner bark
if left unprotected may be the cause OF
the death of a fine and healthy specimen.
1.-The best and most economical plan
to prevent future decay and injury is
to treat this wound as it may appear,
especially If the tree is a valued one.
In tree surgery there are a few fun
damenteI principles that should be OBJ
served to secure permanently good re-
suits.
Remove all dead, decayed or diseased
and injured wood.
"sterilize and waterproof all cut sur
faces.
Leave all work in the most favorable
condition for rapid healing, this often
means the filling or covering of deep
cavities
Watch the work from year to year
and if any defects should appear they
should be tended to Immediately.
I'm instances where neglect has beer
the cause of considerable decay 1t may
become necessary for some cavity filling
to be done; in such case only an ex-
IN a
lines of the work should be employed
In cavity filling the value of the tree
should be carefully considered; If the
specimen is a rapid growing short-livec
tree 1t is hardly worth the time and
money spent in an endeavor to save IL
but rather be taken out completely and
replaced with an approved variety. II
any event a diseased or insect-infesteC
tree should not be allowed to remain al
menace to nearby trees which are In {
more healthy condition.
I'm cavity filling proper the primary
steps are to remove all the decayed OF
diseased wood, cutting back to the live
vigorous tissue The exposed surface
should then be sterlIized; in sterilizins
| -are should be taken not to touch thu
cambium or growing layer as 1t is o
such sensitive nature that injury would
result After a thorough sterilization
the wound should be waterproofed By
being given an application of XXX
Asphaltum. In making the cavity car
| should be exercised so as to not max
it any larger than necessary.
a good example of extensive tre'
surgery work in Indianapolis may b.
seen in front of the Bobbs Merrill Pub
/ fishing Company on East Vermont street
AT this place extensive cavity filing hat
been resorted to and shows what may b'
accomplished In the wpy OF saving trees
Those citizens VINO arc desirous o.
receiving Information relative to this OF
any other forestry problem are urged tC
consult the special sarvice, department

DAYS before the primary election is held
by some legal authorities to effectively
bar the entrance Of any other candidates
at this time Others. however. contend
that this merely bars candidates who run
as independents" or who were defeated
candidates on a party ticket in the pri-
mary. and does not prohibit the forma-
ton of an entirely new party and the en-
trance of an entirely new ticket
One Of the bitterest pills for the city
administration crowd to swallow Is the
fact that they were instrumental In
showing that law through the Legisla-
ture. 1t was originally designed to pre-
vent Shank from again becoming an In
dependent candidate, but the crowd OF
Marion County politicians now confess
they have effectually blocked their own
game.
Democrats undoubtedly would well
come the aid which the News-Jewett ma
chine might give their candidate but the
suggestion that Mr.. Ralston, having won
the nomination by a majority of more
than two to one, step out of the way for
some man whom the bipartisan Repub-
Leans consider stronger than him nat
urally would meet with the strongest
Kind of opposition from the nominee and
his organization. In fact prominent
Democrats who have been told that the
mayor and HIS associates are discussing
such move have been greatly angered
by 1t. considering it an insult to Mr..
Ralston.
Following the conference Mr.. Lemaux
issued the following statement: "Hav-
ing been unanimously elected Republic
an city chairman by the precinct com.
mitteemen, l do not feel inclined to be
hasty in determining my course of ac-
ton as regards the request Of Mr.. Shank
Personally, regard the interests of the
Republican party as far greater than the
desires OF individuals, and I feel that
should give serious consideration to 6
matter that has no precedent in Ma-ior
County politics to my knowledge"
Mr.. Lemaux stated that he would hav'
nothing definite to say about his decision
for several days.
