COOLIDGE LAUDS
RED CROSS FOR
WORK IN FLOOD
Health of Refugees Guard
ed; Lessons of Santa
ton Not Forgotten.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Less
than half dozen persons lost their
lives in the Mississippi flood after
the Red Cross relief took hold,
President Coolidge told the annual
meeting of the American Red Cross
in a speech here last night.
"The health of the refugees was
so well guarded that. there were
more births than deaths in the con-
centration camps" President Cool
idge declared in a review of Red
Cross activities.
"A recent medical survey showed
that generally speaking disease is
less prevalent in the oistr..svS
affected now than in previous years.
Blessing in Disguise
This affliction may have proved
blessing in disguise.
Undoubtedly, the people have
learned lessons of sanitation and
health which will not be forgotten
The lands have been enriched by
the deposits of the river mud, and
many of the farmers. supplies with
better quality Of seeds than used
before, have been astonished by the
size of the crops they have been able
to grow since the waters subsidized.
New buildings are better than
the old. These advantages will re-
main. And, finally, we propose to
solve the problem of flood control SO
such a situation may never again
have TO be met. In the solution we
will advance our system of inland
waterways"
Praises Relief Work
President Coolidge pointed out
that $17,000,000 was raised for food
relief work, in addition TO services
of the Federal Government valued
at about $7000,0o0 "The story is
one of the fine chapters in American
history" he said.
The President also reviewed other
relief work of the year in which he
said $8,216,S93 was expended In re-
lieving about 100000 people as a re-
suit of seventy-ssven domestic dis
asters and $S43,000 for twenty diff
ferent disaster abroad.
In the domestic sum only about
100000 is included because that
was all expended by the end of the
Red Cross fiscal year June 30. How
ever the total does cover $4,480,00q
used for relief and rehabilitation dud
to the storm in Florida. N

Questions Vital to Future of.
Industry Are on Weeks
Program.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. = The
most important radio meeting ever
called will assemble here today, with
delegates from more than fifty ma
tons in attendance.
With the United States as host,
the delegates will seek to draft a
new international radio convention
governing the many international
aspects of the fast growing indus
try.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover
and Admiral Billiard, chairman OF
the United States radio commission
are expected to take a leading part
in proposing and negotiating the
new rules of the air.
Debase on Wave Length
One of the most important ques-
tions 10 tins country is involved in
an attempt to obtain use of ten new
wave lengths for broadcasters, whose
numbers literally have clogged many
airplanes already.
The American delegation expects
to propose that the s. o. s. ship
emergency call wave-length be at
700-meter frequency, instead of 600.
This will provide ten additional
frequencies for broadcasting in this
country. and, of course, the same
number in other continents.
The program includes discussion
Of plans for international superyi-
sion, communication between sta
lions, broadcasting, handling OF
press messages and other CONNER
cial operations, radio telephony,
measures to eliminate interference,
distress messages, radio aids to sea
and air navigation, and other new
uses of the radio.
Weather Reports Up
Another important subject is
radio exchange of weather reports,
Standardization of wave-lengths and
languages to be used being neces-
sary if this activity is to reach full
usefulness.
Differences are expected especial
ly in measures to regulate operation,
as this country has left commercial
radio almost entirely in the hands
Of private companies, while some
foreign governments have made
radio an official monopoly.
Censorship also may be discussed,
but diverging views probably will
prevent any definite rules being
; made in this regard.
Besides. Hoover and Billiard, the
American delegation Of sixteen in
, cludes Senators Watson, Indiana,
Republican; and Smith, Democrat,

Fe7Cer Pupils Drop Ont
After Finishing Grades
Three Times as Many Now
in City High Schools
as in'1914.

indianapolis pupils are not drop
ping out of school in the lower
grades, as was the complaint a few
years ago.
Instead, three times as many
pupils as in 1914 are enrolled in high
schools here today, whereas the av-
erage increase for both elementary
and high schools since that year has
been only so per cent.
These figures were developed by
school officials in preparing charts
for taxation purposes. Hearing on
the school budget and tax levy has
been set by the State tax board ior
Tuesday morning.
Enrolment Much Higher
In 1918, the total amount spent
for items comparable from year to
year was $1,577,216. This includes
such expenses as administration,
operation, fixed charges and co-or-
dinate action, but does not include
capital outlay for n9E buildings and
debt service, such as interest and
principal on bond issues.
In 1914, when the purchasing pow
er of the dollar began dropping, en-
rollment of elementary and high
schools was 36,746. For the year
ended June 80, 1927, enrolment was
55,725
In discussion of comparable ex-
penseS, it must be taken into &C
count that it does not cost as much
to conduct school for a child in
grades one to six as it does in grades
seven and eight or in high school.
Relation Of costs is set out as fol-
lows: For each dollar of cost in
educating child in the first SIX
grades, the cost in the seventh and
eighth grades is $1.65 and in high
school S2.18.
Grade Increase Lays
There has been total enrolment
increase Of approximately so pei
cent since 1914. Increase in grades
one to six has been only 26 per cent
that in grades seven and eight 7t
per cent, and in high schools 300 pei
cent.
Comparison arising between en-
rollment and cost must take these
comparative increases into consid-
Grafton. Thus, in cost units, the
present enrolment is more than loo
per cent more than the enrolment
in 1918.
This increase in enrolment, or
the basis of 1914, increases expenses
$1,107,729, If the purchasing power
of the dollar remained as great as
in 1914 without spending any more
per child. If there is added to this
the increased cost to loss of pur-
chasing power the dollar at its pres
ent index, S2,014,701, a total expense
for 1927 would be only 500 200 great
er than the value of the expendi-
ture in 1914.

COPPER OLDEST METAL.

Copper might fitly be called the first of the metals, for it was the first to be adopted by man to his ordinary uses. Prob ably the men of the bronze age found the metal in it's native state, as it occasionally occurs i; perhaps some cave man built a fire over copper ore expos ed on the surface, and unwit- tingly built the first smelter. However it might have been discovered, primitive man after long centuries was using cop per to replace his crude stone and bone implements. Then again, by accident perhaps, the alloy of copper with tin or zinc, which makes brass and bronze, was discovered, and this was the great metal of antiquity.

INSEPARABLE.

The newspaper has become so distinctly part of the com munity that it is difficult to- conceive of a community of any great proportions devoid of a local newspaper. Not less inseparable and mutually de- pendent are the newspaper and business.
 It is virtually impossible to point out a business success within the last two decades which has been achieved with out the aid of newspaper ad- vertising. On the other hand numberless mercantile failures can be traced directly to in- adequate appropriations fo1 newspaper advertising.
 Under modern economic, soc ial and commercial conditions a city or town would become an actual reproduction of the poetical Deserted Village" if deprived of all business enter prise. Neither could a store ex- ist where there was not some semblance of a community. The relation of the newspaper to both community and busi- ness is different in degree only.
 Towns, stores, newspapers and newspaper ads grow up to- gether. Taken as whole one can not prosper and expand unless all prosper and expand.

RADIuM FROM LEAD.

Women scientists have play ed a big part in radium re- searches since the discovery, made by Madame Curie and her husband, of this wonder full new metal with it's miracle working properties, says a re- cent Paris report.
 Now another woman has op- ened up a new field in radium Investigations. She has found that lead which has been ex- posed for a long period to the suns rays, say, on the roofs of houses, develops faint radio active properties.
 For some time scientists have believed that lead is sort ot distant relation of radium, but the idea that lead may develop radio-activity, or even, per- haps, be turned into radium, is revolutionary. Mile. Marican- eanu, who has made this start ling discovery, is continuing her researches.
