RURAL OHIO DISTRICTS
HAVE HEALTH OFFICERS

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 31.-More than
one-half of the counties of Ohio have
whole-time health commissioners this
year, the state department of health
announced today, following the receipt
of Information that Lake county had
changed from thes part-time'to the full
time system. e ssy< - -
Lake IL the forty-fifth county to en-
ploy a ftil-time health commissioner.
Other counties with whoie-time
health commissioners. serving either
the county district alone or COM
bined district including both the coun-
ty and city are:
Lucas. Henry, Wood, Sandusky,
Seneca, Crawford, Paulding, Allen,
Marion, Union, Delaware, Shelby, Mi
ami, Champaign, Clark, Montgomery,
Greene, Butler, Hamilton, Clermont,
Fairfield, Hooking. Ross, Highland,

Belmont. Lorain, Cuyahoga, Summit,
Wayne, Portage, Stark, Ashtabula,
Trumbull, Mahoning, Medina and Co
lumbiana. :.
81 This is remarkable record of pro-
gress, when one considers that the
rural districts of these counties were
practically without public health pro-
lection 13 months ago, under the old
system of independent village and
township health district" said DR.. A
w. Freeman, state commissioner OF
health today ----- 81
This years whole-time health com
missioner list includes 13 more coun
ties than last years. The increase is
the result of voluntary action of the
district boards of health.

, insure more than a six months term
of school in some of the poorer coun-
ties. 1t is probable that contending
factions including Superintendent Writ
of the Gary schools, will be in the city
this week, the aim being to reach some
kind of satisfactory compromise before
the fight reaches the floor of the house.
II it is decided to fix the total common
school levy at 10 cents it is probable
there will be no disagreement over
this question. The present levy is
| only Sc cents.
Fight on Picketing.
The Baxter anti-picketing bill which
| has been referred to the rights and
! is chairman, probably will come up in
the senate this week on committee
| report, and no doubt will be the source
of a spirited fight. 1t will be opposed
| by organized labor
| The Baxter bill is broad in its pro-
visions and would prohibit any kind
Of labor picketing either at a factory
or at or near the home of laborer.
| 1t would prohibit much Of the kind of
picketing that was done at Gary a
! year or so ago when the steel COM
pany employees were on strike. Baxter
who introduced the bill, is an Indian
apolis manufacturer and large en-
ployer of men.
Complex Problem.
The contest over the question of
the common school levy Of the state
and the manner in which the school
money shall be distributed which has
! been referred to above. offers a com
plex problem 1t may be that some
! kind of bill on the question will be re,
ported to the house, the latter part OF
/ this week by the ways and means
committee.
The bill which: the committee now
has and which was presented by Rep
rcsentative Raymond Willis has
aroused considerable opposition which
has been led by the Lake county man
but the lead in the fight against the
measure has been taken by Repre-
sentative Harris.
The Willis bill provides that the
school money after percentage fol
deficiency has been taken out shall be
distributed one-third on the basis Of
daily attendance, one-third on the
basis of number of teachers and one
third to go to the state superintendent
for use as he may direct.
Raise Objection.
Objection is raised by the Lake
county crowd and by legislators from
the larger cities of the state, includ
ing indianapolis, to the distribution OF
, the basis of number of teachers. II
many of the city schools one teache
may handle from so to 100 pupils in

board of state officers and. would give
salary only to the lieutenant gov
ernor, who would be secretary of the
board.
Women Oppose.
Opposition to any official system of
censorship is offered by group of
Indianapolis women who for several
years have constituted themselves as
board of indorsers. The group is
headed by Mrs. David Ross, of In
dianapolis. These women have work
ed largely in cooperation with the
moving picture owners and have in
dorsed meritorious films but have
nothing to say about bad films. 1t
has been their idea that this plan
gradually would weed out the bad
films. Others have the idea that some
definite official action is needed to
cure the evil
Home Rule Hearing.
One of the largest crowds to be in
Indianapolis during the present SEES
sion is expected to be here next
Thursday night when a public hearing
Will be given in the hall of the house
on Knapp house bill No. "a, which will

/ The house cities and towns CON-
mittee of which Representative Milt-
enberger of Muncie, is chairman, has
! the bill in charge and if there is not
large representation from the cities
of the state, members of the commit
| tee will be surprised.
They also will be surprised II they
do not hear a considerable lot of in
side stuff about the way the cities of

member of the house in joking man
ner said today that he thought it
might be well to turn the meeting into
an experience giving affair, and let
the chairman of the committee tell
something about what happened in
Muncie in the last 10 years under
the present form of government in
that city.

is expected that both sides OF the
question will be well represented. The
national organization of the American
Legion offers the CHER opposition to
the measure. and Henry ]. Ryan of the
American division of that organiza-
ton is expected to appear before the
committee.
But leaders of the legislature seem
to have no doubt that the Daley bill
as well as the Bowers bill along SIM
liar lines, in the senates will be killed.
1t is known that Representative Ahi-
gren, head of the education committee
in the house, which has the Daily bill,
it will die. The other members OF
the committee are Willis of Steuben;
Maloot, HUMPHREYS. Morgan, Sims.
Sherwood, Harlan, Knapp, Leer. Ha-
warth, Phillips and Gill. Sherwood is
world war soldier. Probably only
one thing will prevent the bill dying
in the house on committee report, ana
that is the understanding that certain
Twelfth district politicians are under
some obligations on the question.
Smith Bill to Die.
It is the prediction of those who are
most interested in the question that
the Smith bill to abolish the public
service commission which probably
will come up for action in the house
this week on committee report will die.
One utility man who generally
knows what he is talking about, said
the majority report would be for in
definite postponement although he be-
lieved there would be a minority re-
port signed by three or four members
He believed also that. the minority
report would be substituted for the
majority report in order that the bill
might take its regular course in the
house. He believed, however, that the
measure would be killed in the house
not later than third reading and was
quite certain that if it happened to get
through the house it would be killed
in the senate.
Judiciary A Committee.
The chairman of the judiciary A
| committee of the house which has this
bill is Representative Chester Davis
and other members of the committee
are Givan, Abrams. Beyler. Kamman
Newman. Filbert, Mann, Harris, Os
born, Daley, Johnston, of Ripley, ant
Barker Of Posey.
There is little doubt of course that

Some of the friends of the public

today that the best impression wa:

Ing that was held on the measure IN
the house last week. Most of the
speech-making time at the hearing
was consumed by men connected with
public utility companies.
Want Others to Speak.
Friends of the commission law
thought it would have been better il
others who are in favor of retaining
! the commission had been brought to
| the front. 1t is said that there were
in the audience on the night of the
hearing many bankers and business
| men including newspaper men who
would have been glad to make a plea
for the retention of the commission,
but the affair was 50 managed that
they had no opportunity to speak.
If the Smith bill should get to the
| senate and a public hearing be held
| there is little doubt that wide range
| Of business interests would be repre-
scented by those who speak for the
commission.
| Friends of the commission point out
that throwing the utilities back into
the chaos of politics would not be any
more harmful to the management of
various utility concerns that it would
be to many other people including all
of those who have any interest in the
securities of the utility companies. 1t
is expected that the Smith bill to
| abolish the commission will come UP
in the house on committee report not
later than Wednesday of this week
1t is understood that a compromise
bill is now being worked out and that
it may be substituted in committee
for the Willis bill. levy of 10 cents
is the one most talked of and this levy
it is said would raise 100000. 1t is
said also that even the representatives
Of the larger cities would not object
to as much as thirty per cent of the
money going into the deficiency fund
Compromise Bill.
The amount of the deficiency fund in
the hands of the state, superintendent
now is about $250,000. On a 80 per
cent basis with 10 cent levy the
amount would be more than 100000
and probably would insure an eight
month term of school for all of the
poorer districts in southern Indiana.
Would Not Object.
II It is said that at least some of the
school men in the larger cities of the
state would not object to such an ar
rangement as this. But after this has
been done they do object they say tc
leaving a large additional amount ir
such way that it also would go to the
poorer counties.
1t is generally agreed it is said tina

the lines laid down by special COM
mittee appointed by the governor.
Anti-picketing proposal as contained
In bill introduced last week in the
senate by Senator Baxter of Indian
apolis.
Provision of some kind for the Gen.
soring of moving picture films. Two
measures along this line have been
proposed. ss
Bill to increase the salaries of
judges of circuit, superior. criminal,
probate and juvenile courts. A bill
along this line prepared by certain
lawyers is already before house COM
mittee and may come UP for commit
tee action in the house this week. 1t
provides maximum salary of $1,000.
Bill that would permit the teaching
of German in the high schools and
private schools. Two measures along
this line, one by Representative Daley
and the other by. Senator Bowers are
pending.
Legislative and congressional reap
portionment. 1t is understood the bill
for legislative reapportionment will be
introduced in the house this week.
Bill for the adjustment of the pub
lie service commission which Is now
pending in the house and probably will
| come up on committee report this
week.
Bill to give cities the right to adopt
commission or commission manager
form of government. A public hear
| ing will be given this week ON this
measure.
May Drop Primary.
OF course there are many other
bills, but the ones mentioned above
appear to be about the only ones
that the legislature will worry greatly
about. This conclusion is reached of
course, with the assumption that the
fight over the direct primary law has
been ended.
This may not of course, be true,
and it is possible though not probable
that there will be hard struggle and
possibly another attempt to repeal the
state wide provisions of the law when
the Alldredge primary bill comes up
in the senate. In all probability
this measure will come up this week
1t is not believed, however, that any
group in the senate is in a position to
, call 1t from the committee, as was
done in the case of the Beardsley bill
| Consider German Bill.
One of the first measures to claim
the attention of the house this week
will be the Daley bill known as house
bill Ill, which would repeal certain
prohibitions against the teaching OF
the German language contained in the
law of 1919. A public hearing will be
held on this measure tonight, and il

day, while in the country schools one
teacher may have as few as Is or 20
rupils and seldom are there more than
so pupils to a teacher.
1t is said that the distribution Of
one-third on daily attendance would
not overcome the distribution on basis
of number of teachers and that the
whole thing would be unfair to the
larger cities. The great number Of
country pupils that are taken care OF
in the city high schools also enters
into the question. 1t is said that in
some of the larger high schools almost
fifty per cent of the enrolment repre-
sents pupils from the country.
XIII Relief Bills.
The we'll known relief bill appears
to be in for a siege of hard knocks
in this session. The house last week
summarily decapitated two measures
that were designed to give relief to
certain classes. One of these was the
Kamman bill known as house bill &c,
and was framed for the relief of bridge
and road contractors. The house
struck out the enacting clause. An
other that was killed by the house
was the Boner bill to legalize indebted
ness heretofore incurred by county
commissioners in payment of gravel
road repair bills.
Another measure killed by the house
during the last week was that intro
! duced by Representative Abrams of In
dianapolis to define and prohibit race
and religious libel. The action on this
bill was quick and it probably was not
| consolinr . Mr.. Abrams that the man
who VIE, ded the AK was Representa-
! tive Kingsburg,. also from Indianapolis.
! Representative Abrams bill it was said
, was directed at a publication outside
Indianapolis.
| Want General Bills.
| Talk among house members indi.
Gated that the bill was killed not so
much on it's own account but rather
! that the house is determined that the
that is enacted by this session shall
| get through and that the legislation
that ms enacted by this session shall
be of a general nature and of benefit
to the entire state Action on the Alb
rams bill offered a marked contrast
with the notorious Democratic session
! of 1913 when the Democrats were out
after the newspapers.
Two measures Relating to the cen
sorship of moving picture films are
now pending in the legislature, one by
Representative Steele and the other
by Senators Furnas and Hogston. and
1t is probable that a public hearing
will be given on one of the measures
some time this week Steele's bill
provides for an all-salaried commits

Horrible Gang

Timothy King was an ordi-

He belonged to a gang which
he ruled so definitely and abso-
lutely that it was universally
known as Timothy Kings

This gang lived and moved in

1t included a law against girls.
They we're Taboo to notice them

They avoided that horrible

But one day in the summer a

gang: she didn't know the girls:
she didn't know any better. She
was friendly and very pretty.
She wanted to get acquainted.
Timothy was out testing his
strength throwing stones from
the road to a vacant lot, when
the insolent newcomer came
along for the first time. She
stopped with admiration.
My, but you can throw stones

Timothy growled and sped
away. Still, he couldn't forget

those words. the more he was

conner had again gone past to

gent impulse to improve his skill

turning.
"Oh. look at thai one! You're
throwing them even farther to-
day. / like a fellow who sticks

Then came a day when the
whole gang happened along just
as the newcomer started down

walked right into their midst.
Hello. boys" she said, smiling
directly at Timothy.
