tom RUSSELL DAY
IS SUGGESTED BY
LEXINGTON PAPER
Lexington Herald Pays High Tribute
To Maysyile Man Who Revived
Blue Grass League and Asks
Him To Stay on Job.

The Lexington Herald Wednesday
says editorially:
Tom Russell, of Maysville, did moro
than any other man did or probably
could have done to revive the interest
in central Kentucky in baseball and
toward the organization Of the Blue
Grass League which appeared this
year rejuvenated as IL monkey glands
had been transplanted into an almost
lifeless corpse. Now he saws he is 60
ing to resign. Mr.. Russell gives a
number of substantial reasons for re-
signing. OF cour-e he has other things
which require time.
Nobody who knows the genial chief
tain of the Blue Grass League, how
ever, fails to recognize how much ho
is willing to do TO keep baseball alive
in the Blue Grass. The chances are
that If President Russell had received
the proper cooperation from the fans
of the Blue Grass for whom he did SO
much in not only fostering, but form
ing Blue Grass Le1 que, he would be
willing to stick to his task. By the men
in authority, only complaints are
heard. II Tom Russell know that there
was an overwhelming desire on the
part of the baseball fans Of central
Kentucky for him to remain at the
helm in the Blue Grass league, he
might be persuaded 10.
At least some effort ought to be
made to keep lin at the post. He Is
qualified and lie 10 live wire.
A tom Russell Day" ought to be
declared in every town in the circuit
in recognition of his service in form
ing the Blue Grass League this year
and to demonstrate the demand Of the
fans of the towns having teams now in
the race for the pennant for him to
keep at his job whether he wants to
or not.

STUDY OF INMATES
OF INSTITUTIONS OF
THIS STATE begun
Mental Survey Recommended BY Gen.
eral Assembly Being Made BY Ex-
pert Workers; Work Started at
Greendale Reform School

A group of six trained workers con-
stituting the stan from the National
Committee for Mental Hygiene has
commenced its study Of the boys and
girls at the Kentucky House OF Reform
at Greendale beginning the Mental
Hygiene Survey OF the state which the
National Committee for Mental Hy-
giene is conducting as n result of
resolution passed by the last General
Assembly that such a survey be made.
In addition TO the inmates at the
House OF Reform, the inmates OF all
the state correctional and penal insu-
tutions, the run Of mine" Of criminal
and juvenile. courts, inmates from Sc
lected rural districts will be studied.
This survey also includes an investi-
cation OF the facilities each institution
has for the handling Of those under its
care and a study OF the hospitals for
the insane and feeble-minded.
"The last General Assembly realized
that some constructive measure must
be taken II the present great expense
now necessary for the caring OF our
dependents, delinquent and insane is
ever to be reduced" member Of the
survey group said.
similar surveys conducted by The
National Committe for Mental Hygiene
In other states show that many indi-
divduals fall into lives OF crime be-
cause OF conditions that could have
been either prevented or corrected.
Among our dependents We find q
large proportion OF mentally and
physically handicapped individuals
who are now dependent on the COM
munity for care, because they were
neglected when they were young and
when something could have been done
for thom. When we realize that per-
haps as high as fifty per cent OF the
insanity In our state hospitals today
was prevcntable. II the individuals
were recognized early and properly
treated, II is evident that moro prac.
.ical and more humane attitude must
be taken toward all these unfortunates
I'VE are spending thousands and
thousands Of dollars on the results Of
dependency. delinquency and insanity
and doing almost noting to prevent the
cnditions themselves, While we con.
tinue in this way we will have to con
tinue TO construct new institutions
and to build additions to our old ones
for the care Of our failures"

Citizens Of Reynolds appreciate
the aid given by the Rock Island
fire department to check disas-
trous fire which threatened the en-
tire town two weeks ago. and are
seeking . motorixation of their fire
equipment as a result of the lesson
learned then, Fire Chief August
Schmidt, Rock Island. learned to-
day.
The department is given credit in
an editorial which appeared in
the Reynolds Press Saturday. The
editor said:
"Very glad indeed is the presi-
dent representing the village board
Of trustees, all the citizens Of Rey-
nolds, and in fact the whole COM
munity, to voice sincere gratitude
to the city authorities who per-
mitted the fire departments of
Sherrard, Aledo and Rock Island
to come SO promptly and 80 gener-
ously to our assistance last week
IN time OF danger.
while in this one instance their
services were fortunately not
needed, the spirit these men dis
played is deeply appreciated. It is
a comfort indeed that the people
Of Reynolds may have the assur-
ance that in any similar danger
which may threaten, help can come
II necessary in less than so min
utes. And we believe that our
people are now unanimously in
favor Of having motorized equip
ment of our own in order that we
may have better protection against
fire and so that we may be able to
help our neighbors in time of
need"

DON'T SUPPORT
MOoCnER IS PLEA
Welfare Association Urges Citizens
Not to Be Tee Ready
to Respond.

Moochers are finding Rock Island
an easy place to land.
In the last month, families of
moochers have drifted into the city
and attempted to beg from the
county, public, and the Rock Is
land Welfare association. Warn
ing to the credulous public which
will hand out his last bit to the
moocher without referring to a
welfare agency was sent out today
by Mrs. Mary E. Morgan, office sec
rotary Of the Welfare association.
A family-husband, wife, and
three children-have preyed upon
the local agencies and laborers
around the Rock Island railroad
station at Thirty-first street, for
the last week, it is claimed. On
their arrival, the welfare .associa-
alton gave the family an order for
board and room over Sunday, as the
father said he would have work
Monday. When Monday came the
family disappeared and used the
welfare order to eat eight meals at
a restaurant near the station,
which had no connection with the
one on which the order was made
No word had been heard Of them,
until Mrs. Margaret Archer, mat
ron at the Rock Island station, was
! approached for help yesterday.
Refusing to accept any care, bu.
requesting railroad fare to con-
tinue on, the family begged from
the railroad workers and received
a collection. But they failed to
leave the city, it is understood.
The association is warning the
public against such workers and
asks that cases of this kind be re-
! ferred to them or some welfare
agency.
