Factories Along Belt.

Though it was the purpose of the
builders of the belt railroad to connect
the union stockyardS to the southwest
of the city to the railroad junction
community of BrightwoOd on the
northwest and to accommodate all the
railroads shipping stock, it was not
long until little manufacturing plants
sought cheap sites along the belt rail
road. Today the industrial plants Of
indianapolis have no central locality,
but are strung along the belt railroan.'
Consequently u wide Industrial belt
has been established which separates
a. mile downtown area from out
lying residence neighbOrhOods. And.
Ike all other industrial districts, this
industrial belt has its unsightly COM
plements of waste heaps and cheap
shack homes. Little development now
is to be found outside the belt to the
west, and to the south city develop
ment has hardly attempted TO reach
the inside of the belt.
II is different on the east. primarily
because the suburban community of
Irvington has grown to the point
where it has adjoined the belt and the
city. But for years. in recent times,
the territory between the belt railroad
and the western edge Of exclusive old
Irvington was nothing more than com
mons and waste lands

Chemists Describe Isolation of a

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 29.-Discovery
of a measles toxin and development of
an anti-toxin effective in combating
the disease is claimed by DR.. n. S.
Ferry and L. w. Fisher, chemist,
both of Detroit, in the current issue
Of the Journal of the American Medi-

Detailing their experiments. they
tell of isolation of micro-organism
"a small streptococcus appearing both
in turn" which produces the measles
toxin in the body They named the
organism "streptococcus mobilli.
4 skin test, by which they checked
their discovery, led to the finding of
the anti-toxin. Animals injected with
the measles toxin will produce Sc
runs with anti-toxic properties" their
article says, Showing the toxin is
a true eXtra-cellular or soluble toxin. :.
The Journal of the American Medi-

isolate such a toxin in cases of cry

What Belt Has Done.

Indianapolis has long outgrown the
confines of both the mile square and
the belt railroad. 1T is proceeding on
no particularly ordered plan because
the belt has created business and man
ufacturing districts in every direction.
Even the bottle-necE. through which
horneseekers have gone to build the
city north now is being ZOned for
business three miles out.
In the beginning the city supported
the belt railroad in order to develop q
stock yards and serve the railroads
and shippers. Today it finds that il

College and Humane Officer
Probe Reports Felines

CLEVELAND, Ohio. March %
"Black cat stew" is sometimes fed
to freshmen as initiation by fraterni-
ties of IA Cleveland college, investi-
cation by DR.. l.. j. Dunn of the
Humane Society indicated.
Or. Dunn was trying to trace ru-
mored cruelty to cats by students,
following the discovery in an aban
doned house in the eastern section
of the city of dead black cat which
appeared to have been skinned alive.
Each Must Kill Cat.
Representative of fraternities,
some of which We're reported to use
cats in their ceremonies, were unable
TO confirm a communication he had
received This was to the effect that
student orga ni2ation demands of
each group of freshman initiates
to bring a cat. and one Of them to
kill his with q Ratchet or AK.
Several students. however. had
heard of a stunt" in which the
candidate is told: Get black cat
and bring it here at 10 O'Clock to-
morrow night"
There follows a search Of alleys and
dumps for any cat that will permit
itself to be caught. 1t can be painted
black. according to rules.
The candidate appears with his cat,
VERY we'll" he is told, such cruelty
(for either capturing or painting the
creature) shall reap its own reward.
You shall eat this cat stewed.
Rabbit Cooked Instead.
The cat is taken from him, and he
is shut in a darkn room ito mediate
and repent" The cat is released.
rabbit. bought at market, is steWed
instead, and served to the trembling
freshman.
If he resists. fraternities have
means of persuasion. If he still re
fuses, he is returned to the dungeon
to bend that proud spirit.
Not infrequently eating the stew
produces nausea, through the psyche
logical effect of the thought that he
is eating the flesh of the cat.
DIR. Dunn intends to inquire
into the alleged cruelities to the casts,
and college authorities will aid in the
investigation.

half a century later when the belt
railroad was built, the folly of the
earlier belief was apparent, for the
