IMPROVEMENTS AS
REMEDY FOR IDLE
Chairman of House Commit
tee Proposes Building Pro-
gram by Government.
BN LOUIS LUDLOW.
tWashington Correspondent. ,

WASHINGTON, u. G., Oct. 22.-
As a step toward relieving the un-
employment situation Rep. John W
Langley. chairman OF the house
committee on public buildings and
grounds, recommends that congress
shall proceed 10 enact the first
omnibus building bill since the
spring Of 1918. Such a bill as he has
I'm mind would provide literally for
the construction OF new post office
and federal court buildings in In
diana and the other states.
ar Langley had given up his In
tention Of urging an omnibus build
ing bill az the coming regular ses-
sion. on account Of the well-known
attitude Of the house republican
leaders. but a recommendation Just
made by the unemployment confer
ence. now in session here. has caused
hins 20 change his mind. The unem-
nloyment conference suggested that
government buildings. already start
cd or for which partial appropria-
tons have been made. should be
completed without delay
VIII Call Committee.
Now that the idea Of using public
building work 70 relieve unemLloy-
ment has gained a foothold Rep.
Langley intends 20 follow up the ad-
vantage thus gained by urging upon
congress the passag &c OF a general
omnibus building bill-the first one
in more than nine years.
II intend 20 call the committee to-
gether soon and place the matter
before Il with my own personal rec
oumendation that we ought 70 have
building bill az once 10 relieve the
unemployment situation" he said.
THE only kind OF a building bill
I VIII favor is an omnibus bill that

ity 10 the disease.
Within As hours the spot prick
ed by the needle will show a white
raised surface no larger than sill
yer dime This would indicate to a
physician a negative test, showing
the child is not susceptible.
IF, however. there should be pro
duced a dark red spot of a similar
size. it would indicate positive and
the child then would be removed
from school and be subjected to an
immunity treatment"
Immunizing from diphtheria is
done by the use of injections of
t0Nin-antitOXin at weekly intervals,
according TO the doctor. following
which a test is again made to show
any indication of the patient CON
tracing the disease.
The use of toxin-antitoxni has
been demonstrated TO be the remedy
de luxe in the preventiou of diph-
iberia" said Dr.. Freyermuth. Three
injections of the tOXine will invar-
iably prevent the disease. These in
jections are given in weekly inter
vals, but The Schick test t. rain

ago there is no reason why addition

cities where as great. or greater.

The only fair way is to frame a
bill that Will take care OF all places

10 per cent of the cases are of
persons older than 1 . years.
In an article on the prevention
OF diphtheria." read before the
Health officers school, state board
Of health at indianapolis, May IL,
1921, DR.. F'reyermuth pointed out
the success obtained in suspected
cases of diphtheria by the use Of
anti-tOxin. and explained there
would have been a greater Incl
dence of the disease but for the
timely use of anti-tOxin as a prophy-
Tactic measure.
"A sick child was sent home from
one of our public schools" said DR..
Freyermuth, citing an illustration
and the next day was quarantined
for diphtheria. The school nurse,
on her own initiative. Immediately
examined every pupil in the sick
ones room, obtaining swabs from
each throat for laboratory determin-
alton.
The following day" continued
the doctor, two of the youngsters
were sent home and placed under
quarantine on the report OF our bac-
terioiogist that their threats were
infected with Klebs- LOeffer bacili,
the diphtheria germ. Their families
raised a storm Of protest because the
children were not sick but the
quarantine was maintained until two
negative cultures on successive days
had been obtained. because the af-
fected ones were diphtheria carriers
and a menace to others. Here was
a potential epidemic 'nipped in the
bud by the prompt and intelligent
action Of trained nurse.

Joseph p. Tumulty, secretary to
President Wilson, who is to practice

was formally admitted today to prac-
tice before the Supreme Court of the
United States. He was presented be-
fore the court at it's Sc ssion today by
Attorney General Palmer.
Mr.. Tumulty will occupy the office
rooms in the Southern building which
have been used by former Senator
Joseph Bailey Of Texas, which fact
is looked upon as somewhat surpris-
ing. inaSmuch as Senator Bailey has
always been an anti-Wilson demo-
crat, and has continually fought the
administration. But the senator and
Secretary Tumulty have remained
friendly enemies throughout it all
and are on the most arnicabie terms.

had it's most positive effect was in
the market for foreign government
bonds. These issues had been de-
pressed all through the latter part
of last week Today there was again
heavy pressure upon the French gov
ernment SIS, carrying them down to
a new low: there was another sharp
drop in Danish bonds and there was
IA conspicuous heaviness in Belgian
securities. But while the course of
the markets might have seemed to
indicate much indecision. and even
nisgivings. as to pending develop
ments in London, the real feeling in
financial circles was brighter than it
doubt. of the unanimity disclosed at
the preliminary gathering OF British
and French representatives over the
week end. A division Of views be-
tween the two governments is what
has given the most concern. United
tl>ey will be able to bring much more
effective pressure to bear upon the
German negotiators.
Cotton StiII Soft.
Although there were further signs
of investment buying in the cotton
market on the realization that current
prices were well below the cost of
production. it did not avail to pro-
vide an immediate check upon the
decline. The decentralization was
quite as acute as ever with new low
records all around. That some of the
foreign buying last week upon which
much store had been set was of
speculative character. was suggested
by the appearance of Japanese in
terests on the selling side.
Another sharp drive against Allan
tic, Gulf and West Indies carried the
stock down to new low. The alb
sence of effective support seems to
fit in with the idea that the common
dividend will be passed altogether,
and that the dividend on the prefer
red is by no means secure.
