MENTAL WARDS
CARE TOPIC AT
STATE SESSION
Speaker Points Differences in
Feeble-Minded and
Insane.

Members of the Indiana conference on
mental health, which ended its session
at the CIaypool Hotel yesterday, urged
that better care be taken of the feeble
minded persons in the State.
I'VE have been worrying too much
about the liabilities Of the feeble-minded
and too little Of their assets DIR. Walter
E. Ferdinand. superintendent Of the
Massachusetts, Feeble-Minded School,
said. Dr. Ferdinand has been superin
tendant Of the institution for thirty
three years and during that time he has
had more than fifteen thousand feeble
minded persons under his care.
I'VE need to learn, or to keep more
clearly in mind the fact that feeble
minded persons are not insane persons:
they are no more likely to become in
sane than person who has no symptoms
Of insanity; as a class they are more
amiable, responsive to Kindness. willing
to work and easy to please They are
about evenly divided into two classes,
those whose feebIe-mindedness is heredi-
tary, condition which must be reduced
by prevention Of the marriage of those
AFFLICTED, and those whose ailment arises
from accidents or diseases that whithers
and arrests development. In either case
their mentality is below that Of others.
I'VE must teach the feeble minded
how to Acquire correct habits when
they are young and continue TO do so
when they have grown to manhood and
womanhOOd, and then continue to give
them a helping hand throughout the re-
mainder Of their lives.
IF conditions are right he may live
at home and receive his training in the
school or special classes. If he is an
actual social menace then he must be
sent TO an institution. These advantages
should be Afforded to every feeble minded
person in the State and not 10 a few
favored persons"

EASY TO DISTINGUISH TUNES
Even One Unfamiliar With Music Could Tell the Difference by Listen

Two gentlemen from away back in the big sticks sat one night in a St. Louis cabaret and listened to the chortling of a first-class, A No. l jazz orchestra. One of the gentlemen dis played a lively interest in the music being produced; from time to time he even beat lively accompaniment with his feet.
 Ills companion displayed no such interest; he actually appeared bored by the proceedings. He apparently could not understand the city's peculiar music. At last he sald to his friend :

CALIFORNIA TO GROW DATES
Possibility That That State May Be- come Center of Culture of Fruit
 in the World.

Within a few years the Salton sea basin, near Indio, Cal, may become the center of the worlds date culture, thanks to the efforts of the Depart ment of Agriculture. For nearly twenty years the bureau of plant industry has been endeavoring to procure shoots of the date palms which bear the fruit, known commercially as the Saidy, or Wahi, and Sewi varieties. So difficult was the source of the splendid fruit to trace that, up to 1913, only few shoots had been procurable. At that time an immense grove of 100000 of the palms in the oasis. s.of Dakhla, Tunis, was discovered.
 Negotiations for the purchase of specimens having been satisfactorily concluded, the collection of the shoots was begun. That 1t was slow is ac- counted for by the fact that tree puts forth only twenty to thirty shoots dur ing it's lifetime. However, the collec- tion was finally completed and the work of setting out 2,9OO of the young trees will be started within the near future.-POpular Mechanics Magazine.
