TO CLEAN HOUSE
At STATE ASYLUM

There are $50 patients in the asy-
lum at Blackfoot, and among them
are good many people who are
not insane. Some of them have been
"railroaded" there and some are Just
old people who were in the way at
home and those whose duty it was
to support and care for them have
taken this means of getting rid Of
them. Most people have some hob
Dies and queer ways, and old people
who have a good many of them can
easily be proved insane and COM
mitted to the asylum if committing
magistrates are not careful.
But there is going to be an investi-
cation and clearing out of those who
should not be there. Arrangements are
now being made to have a clinic, an
assembly of experts to examine every
patient in the institution and see what
is really the matter and it possible eff
feet a cure by using the modern equip
ment recently installed in the new re-
ce1ving hospital built last summer,
Those who are not insane will be sent
home and steps will be taken to see
that they are cared for by those whose
duty 1t is to do it.
People who are insane are so be-
cause of something that has gone
wrong in their bodies or brains, and
in many cases there is a remedy if
taken in time. In some cases t he
remedy can be successfully applied
even tho it is done tardily, and the
management of the Blackfoot asylum
is now going about it to find and ap-
ply the remedies
The new receiving hospital is equip
ped with all the varieties of hot and
cold baths, and these are powerful re-
storatiyes Of wrecked nrves when ap-
piled by experts on insanity. 1t is sup
piled with x-ray and dental outfits for
revealing what is wrong with bones
and teeth. 1t has solariums for apply
ing the sun baths and giving the COM
forts of the sun parlor. Some of the
people of Blackfoot are listing their
cars for use in giving free auto rides
to those who need them in the process
of restoration, and it is expected that
in the next few months there will be
a thinning out of inmates.
In the past history of the institution,
more attention has been given to keep
ing them than to curing them, and
now the best brains of the state will
be devoted to their cure where cure
seems possible.

FAST BOUTS KEEP
CROWD ON EDGE
Gibson, All But Knocked Out in the
Second, Comes Back and Wins Third
With Isaak and Draws In Four
Round Go Last Night.

Coach Gibson, groggy from head
blows in the second round, cliched and
hung on to Isaac until the gong sound
ed saving him from taking the count
on the canvas in latter part of the sec
ond round of his four round match
with Billy last night at the American
Falls Athletic Club. He was visibly
weakened and many thought the third
round would be only a matter of sec
onds. However the coach came back
and with thre we'll directed blows to
the wind, had Isaac completely on the
defensive, taking the round by a wide
margin. The fourth was hard fought
to draw, ending one of the prettiest
battles seen in the squared ring in
American Falls. This is the third time
the two have mixed, the last scrap 60
ing to Isaac after Coach had uninten-
tionally fouled
If Pat Vassalo ever enters the ring
against stranger look out. He hates
to knock out friend, which explains
why Fred Hunt stayed through the
third round with the little Italian boy
last night. Fred seemed to be the
cleverer of the two and timed his blows
nicely He was a shade the best un-
til Vassalo put over sleep producer
in the third. Fred stood up to take his
medicine but Pat didn't have the heart.
He asked the referee to give him only
a draw.
Elwood Meadows and George Stitt
gave the incest clean boxing exhibi-
tion OF the evening. Stitt fights nice
and clean and stands up to it like a
veteran. He seems to have no fear
and will gladly receive blow for The
privilege of giving one. Meade US
fought in and out and kept we'll out of
the reach of Stitt most of the time.
The boys received due credit for
good clean scrap that was a real draw.
Red Bowen and Cleo Brooks mixed
in their usual curtain raiser fashion,
wining the applause of the unusually
large crowd. StangeT and Frosty
Hunt boxed a pretty draw and were
popular numbers on the program. Fol-
lowing them were willard Davis and
Wayne Gohlson. Gholson seemed con-
siderably the better boxer but was re-
luctant to mix it with his taller op-
ponent. Both boys carried a vicious
wallop but neither landed with great
effect. They fought a draw.
Sixteen rounds of boxing last night
was probably the best program yet
seen though the bouts of two weeks
ago were exceptionally good. The To-
cal boys are all rounding into good
condition and present as interesting
program as is to be seen in any town in
the valley.

 The game in all probability gives New Britain the championship of the northern section of the Athletic asso- ciation of the Vocational schools of Connecticut.

 FORUM MEETINGS
Chamber Of Commerce Pleased With Last Wednesdays Session

The success of the recent open for. um held by the Chamber of Com merce, has proved pleasing losoni- astic plans are on foot for future meetings. While the date for tho coming meetings have not been decd ed upon il is understood that sim . liar session will take place about once a month.
 The object of these open forums, according to Secretary Ray l.. Maxim, is not to advance any particular the ory or object 10 the people of the city, but 10 give the citizens an op- portunit.' of hearing and discussing community problems from both. sides of the question.
 The one criticism leveled at the meeting last Wednesday evening, that of an overcrowded program, will be eliminated at future meetings. Fewer so-called feature speakers will be on the program and more time will be given to open discussion.
 The address of Dr. Meredith state commissioner of education. delivered at the meeting last Wednesday was sufficient for an evening, officials say The address by Stanley H. Holmes was also of sufficient interest for an eve nings discussion, while the talks of Dr. Zwick. Mir. Vibberts and others would likewise have sufficed for an evenings program.
 Among some of the proposed sub jects to be discussed will be the in- come tax, the freight problem, good roads, the fire department, street paw ing, city's needs, police department, junior achievement, etc.

to offer a suggestion. Without doubt
the movement. as contemplated. will
accomplish an incalculable amount of
good, and If it is to be a permanent
growth it's center obviously should be
located at Washington. My sugGes-
tion is that when a convention hall
fit to adorn the National Capital is
erected it should be called Constitu-
tion Hall. Associated with the Cap
itol. the Monument, the Lincoln Me-
mortal and other structures already
famous. that name the world over
would advertise our belief in-our
reverence for--the organic law of the
land. Its appeal would surely not
be lost on patriotic visitors to the
federal city. What could more fit
! tingly offset the cynical attitude of
| the un-American American than such
O rebuke in stone?

power to bring it about, house
