FIGHT AGAINST TYPHOID.
$50 Forcibly Inoculated After
Working in Flood District.

STOWE, VT, November 8 R.-
One hundred and fifty men were taken
from automobiles passing through
this village last night. and inoculated
against typhoid.
Every car passing through from
Waterbury, the nearest town in the
food district, was halted by armed
soldiers. Any passenger who proved
to have been taking part in the road
reconstruction work was led before
a doctor and inoculated. Others were
allowed to pass.
Forcible inoculation was decided on
because 1t was felt that the men who
dug in the silt where possible scores
of bodies still are secreted were in
more danger Of infection than others.

ents, probably with much wisdom,
permitted the lad to go his way about
as his own desires dictated. He was
not repressed. There were few
'donts" in the Lindbergh house
hold.
Scientists and psychologists put
great weight upon that phase of his
training. They say that it developed
in him the self-reliance which he first
showed wien, at five years of age, he
walked away from the sun and so
found his way back home. 1t also,
they say made stronger in him the
courage and the determination which
he had inherited.
In school he was quiet, unassum-
ing and modest. 1t is recorded that
he cared little for English compost
ton or such subjects, but was much
interested in sciences, and in mathe-
matics he was always among the
leaders of his class.
His Teachers, Miss Elizabeth f.
Marshall while he went to school in
Washington, described him as a
quiet, unassuming lad, yet distinctly
individual" Even as youth

CLEVELAND FINDS
MANAGERS RULE
SUCCESS IN YEAR
Many improvements and
Savings Enjoyed by Ohio
City Under Plan.

Accomplishment of the city man
ager form of government in Cleve-
land in 1924, first year of it's ex-
istence, were surprises even to most
ardent supporters.
With the city administration 'als
most in COLLAPSE, the first year
showed what could be done with an
efficient handling Tof municipal af-
fairs.
In the outstanding work was com
plete reorganization of the financial
structure. William J. Semple was
drafted for the job. He Strengthened
out the city books so that depart
nents knew where they stood finan-
cially and started to wipe out the
sinking fund deficit of $6,000000.
Employees Pleased
One OF the most popular moves
made was in the manner of paying
employees on city work. They had
been skeptical as to the workings of
the new form of government, fear
full of losing their jobs, But they
found themselves benefited by a
simple change in the manner of pay
ment. They had been compelled to
go to the city hall twice monthly to
set pay checks.
BY use of an armored motor car,
paying the men on the job, employees
were saved a great loss of time and
the city was saved $4,000.
So great were the economies dur
ing the first year of city manager
government that Cleveland ended
1924 with q cash balance of $525,00O,
having lived within its income dur
ing the year.
Another accomplishment was in
the street paving department. The
year 1923, the last under the old
form Of government, had been a
banner year in this respect. but the
very first year of the new regime
resulted in more paving at less cost
pe T square yard.
Streets Cleared
fThe good work was kept up in the
Street cleaning department. The
Bolicy of flushing the downtown
main streets nightly and cleaning
/every street in Cleveland twice each
month was adopted. Collection of
rubbish was increased by $4,000 calls.
Garbage collections amounted to
$4,000 tons more than in 1929. Cost
of handling garbage at the city dis
posal plant was reduced from S4.l2
10 SITS 4 ton.
The service department was loaded
with obsolete and worn out equip
laent. which was replaced with $780,
900 worth Of Wotor equipment.
Street extension Programs were re-
vamped and speeded up.
The park department was In a
bad way at the beginning of 1924.
The first years work consisted
largely of repairing buildings and
roadways, cleaning out pools and
ponds and providing new bath houses
and Fairgrounds throughout the
more than 1000 acres of parks.
Marked improvement was made in
Fairgrounds.
An outstanding achievement was
the splendid earning record of Cleve-
lands public auditorium, $4,000
toward it's fixed charge.
The police department was made
really efficient. Crime in general
was retarded, despite aggravating To-
cal conditions during the year. One
hundred men were added to the
force in 1924.
A hitherto impossible traffic situa
ton was relieved by initiation of no
parking rules congested districts
during rush hours.
