STATE ENTERING
DElrH PERIOD,
DIR. KING WARNS
Health Board Secretar,
\ Says Peak Comes in
"evf Three Months.

Indiana Is now entering what DIR.
William F. King, secretary Of the
State board of health describes as
the death period" of the year.
The State health board head de-
clared that the State rate reaches its
peak during the months of January.
February and March, each year.
The death rate begins it's upward
climb about the middle of December
and the increase continues until the
last of January or the middle Of
February, he said.
The reason for this, DIR. King said.
is that many of the older people of
the State contract pneumonia or in
fluenza during the winter months
and die as a. result.
Little Resistance
These people do not have the re-
sisting powers of youth, it was said,
and the cold weather further re-
duces this power of resistance.
Slushy, cold, rainy weather plays
big part in this heavy death rate
increase.
While January, February and
March lead all other months in the
number of deaths per thousand of
population, June, July and August
see the least number of death, DIR.
King pointed out.
This was explained by King who
declared that since modern medicine
has practically conquered the So
called summer complaint on in
fants there has been a very decided
slump in the death rate for those
months.
Typhoid C0mbated
The effective methods now used
to combat typhoid fever, the fact
that practically all water used for
drinking purposes In the State is
tested and the resultant decrease in
the number Of cases of intestinal
trouble also has played a big part in
the reduction.
1T is seldom" DR.. King said,
SAAHS WO nave IOCOIO S OI
dying from the so-ca1led summer
complaint in this day and age"
The automobile also has played a
part In the decrease in the summer
death rates, because it enables the
people of the cities to get out in the
open and relax after hard day in
the heat end turmoil Of an office,
Tn. Lyi,,o IaoIare5
Regardless of the part played by
the automobile the fact that people
spend more of their time out-of-doors
during the summer months, and are
therefore in better physical condi-
ton plays big part in the decline
in summer mortality rates, it was
said.
October and November with the
changeable weather conditions exist
ing at that time, the smoke resulting
from the burning Of leaves and other
debris also is a very dangerous
period Of the year, King said.

DEADLOCK Seen
IN RUMPUS OF
STATE BOARD
Both Sides Uncertain in
Moves to Gust Secretary
and Member.

Warning factions of the State
board OF health, while loath to
discuss the situation which for a
while threatened to disrupt the en-
tire department, were in a position
of deadlock today, with no i'm
mediate prospect OF any Of the
charges of counter-charges against
members being tried.
DR.. T. Victor Keene of Indianapo-
lis. Democratic member Of the board
and leader Of the insurgent faction,
declared he hoped for an early trial
of DR.. William F. King, secretary,
on charges of characterization and
engaging in an outside occupation
Of profit DIR. Keene, however, ad-
mitted he had no notion Of when
the charges will be tried
James w. Noel, attorney for DIR.
Keene and other members of the
board. all of whom have opposed re-
tention Of DR.. King as secretary, adj
mitted he had no idea Of when the
trial will be held "I have nothing
further" was Noel's reply to other
questions bearing on the issue.
Counter Charges
With Governor Jackson out Of the
city until late next week, no action
was expected on the counter
charges which have been launched
against DR.. Keene by Clarence B.
Joseph taxpayer, through Ira
Chase Koehne, DR.. Kings attorney.
Joseph charged Keene with leading
the movement to GUST King, with
threatening the public health Of the
State and with playing havoc with
the boards affairs in general. Jack
Nson was asked to call a meeting Of
The State board which appoints men,
bers Of the health body, to try keene
on the charges and to Gust him.
Jackson seemingly has given the
charges no attention, although early
in the dispute he stopped a rump
meeting Of the board, which had
been called to try DR.. King, and it
is said, went so far as to demand
Dr. Keene's resignation later.
King Silent
DR.. King has remained silent dur
ing the protracted squabble and has
made no formal reply to any of the
charges. Through q court injunc-
ton this summer DR.. King was able
to restrain the board from trying
him. but a demurrer to the order
was sustained by Judge Zinri e.
Dougan Of the Hendricks Circuit
Court recently, leaving the way
clear for trial.
Repeated efforts have been made
by DIR. Keene's following to have
the Marion County grand jury in
dict DR.. King on some of the charges
that have been brought against him
by the board, but so far the grand
jury, It is understood, has paid no
heed to these efforts.
fOn request of Keene the State
board of accounts made an audit of
DR.. Kings books, and, while the re-
port has not been made public, moth
ing alarming is revealed in the docu-
ment, it is understood.

HOUSECLEANING PROFITS

Prudent housewives find much of interest in the Wants
 With the coming of Spring it is good time to plan readjustnent of the furnishings of the home and the turning into cash of the unused and obsolete articles that are not needed.
 Many find it profitable to conduct a little sale in the Want Columns and exchange sell furniture, floor coverings stoves ice boxes or scores of other things that they wish to dispose of quickly and profit ably.
 If you want to get ready cash for something in the home you'd rather have taken out of the way use the Wants.

H. N. s. RepuEe Selected tQ Take Prince to Argentina

London. Feb. s.-The Prince of Wales will make his forthcoming journey to Argentina and South Africa in the battle cruiser II, NJ, $. Repulse, a sister ship of the Renown, which carried him on his official tour to India and Japan in 1922.
 As the Repulse Is fitted out for a flagship 1t Is expected that rank ing admiral will be selected to com. mand her. Most of the ships com plement of 1920 officers and men have been chosen. The officers, for the most part, are serving on the Repulse at the present trne About half of the enlisted men are those who have served on the Repulse for two years and the remainder will be honor men of the navy.
 The Repulse has been ordered into the yards for a complete overhaul ing and painting, A special suite for the prince is being fitted out of the apartments adjoining tho admiral's quarters and gymnasium room is being built for him. There will be also special rooms for the newspaper correspondents who will accompany the prince. The royal traveller will eat his meals with the chief officers mess, instead of having private dining room as on the Renown, and the daily menu will conform with the usual navy regulations.
 According to present plans the Repulse will sail March a5.

vices of slaughter has reduced to a certainty the practical extermination of the game birds if the, present un- paralleled rate of destruction con- tinues," the speaker said. There has never before been anything equalling the present pursuit of bird life in American history, Not even the destruction of the buffalo was more persistent or widespread.
 Tt is generally admitted that the automobile has doubled the perils of the game. because 1t has placed every stretch of water where ducks may be reported, and every hunt ing ground within the reach of hunters living within a radius of 200 miles or more,
 Under the ruling of the depart ment of agriculture the bag limit that may be shot by single hunter in one day is 25 ducks of all kinds, except the wood duck and cider duck, and eight geese and eight brandt. The season lasts for three months or more. These limits are most wasteful. No man or ordi- nary sized family can eat 25 ducks in one day, nor more than one fifth of that number and since their sale is forbidden in most states. in-
