 "'What I've done with her." he repeated. I've done nothing with her. I don't know even what ails her. All know is that little while ago a woman friend of hers came and told me she was so sick that she couldn't come tonight, but that she thought she'd be on hand to- morrow night"

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes. of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FlSHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hyseia,

 IL is q common superstition among the uninformed that a child must have measles sooner or later and that therefore il is unnecessary to take steps 10 avoid this disease.
 This attitude must be character ized as nothing short of homicidal. In 1920, 10000 children died in the United States from measles and at least as many died from bronchial pneumonia following measles. or lat CT from tuberculosis.
 Other thousands recovered from the disease. but with such complica- tions as weak eyes and running ears.
 Measles is not most contagious at the time when th" patient is peeling or having q fine granular sealing of the skin after the dis case.
 The time when the disease is most easily spread is at the period when the person is just beginning 10 "coma down" with it. Since q bad cough or cold may be one of the first symptoms of measles, child with q bad cough should not be allowed 10 come in contact with other children.
 Most epidemics Of measles oc- cur during the cold months, prob ably because people arc crowded together under conditions that do not exist in tho warmer months. Windows are kept closed and the air is not changed.
 In 1864. q man with measles landed on tn" Farce Islands. n place in which the disease had not previously occurred. On the islands at the time there were 71Se people and 6000 of them developed the dis ease. The condition is not likey to spread to this extent among persons in this country. since many of them have a natural resistance 10 the dis case which comes to them with the blood of their parents and with the milk of the mother. However. so many do not have resistance that It is well 10 give them every protec- ton possible.
 Since 10, GOO children died from measles in 1920. it is likely that about one million had the disease The severity of measles varies from time to time. In the years when its severity is not great. the mortality rate is much lower than in other years.
 Until the cause of this disease is definitely determined. and until means of prevention have been worked out, similar to those now available for diphtheria and scarlet fever, ii will continue 10 h" one Of the most serious dangers of child hood

 How was he hurt" Jim's mother asked. You can tell me, MT. Nevin story"
 Hit by a truck" he told her,>"at Fourteenth and Broadway. You know how bad traffic is down there 1 at times.''
 l Mike Hennegan. who had sat in silence during their conversation, | now spoke up. You know" he said, addressing no one in particular. I'm beginning to think that I'm a say, Mr. Nevin. what do you call 1 those birds who think things have just got to happen anywas and kinda come to be registered to it. Know what l mean?"
 "Fatalists?" Nevin supplied. [, That's the word. I'm beginning to think I'm one of these here ia talists. You know. ] think that if it had been in the cards for Jim FL we'll to get killed he would have got it when that shell struck at Sedan.
 It stood to reason, he went on. that q guy who could pull through all sthat Jim Elwell had pulled through wasn't slated to die in a traffic accident.
 "It ain't in the cards" he an nounced with finality.
 zJ l,,, lSf fn take the same cheerful view of things. But we've had so much to contend with, Nike
 'I'm about ready 10 give up hope altogether" Mollie said and sighed.
 No one answered her. Nevin thought for a minute of answering with some bright bit of optimism but told himself he was fool. There was no further word spoken in the little group until their cab had pull cd up in front of Bellevue hospital.
 Again at Bellevue. as at the Met ropolitan hospital. Nellie DowninG's uniform was the badge that elimi- mated red tape and delay.
 "You have an accident victim here named James E.lwell?" she asked the nurse on duty at the door.
 The nurse would find out. She busted herself at the telephone. There's man named Elwcll, yes. Skull fracture"'
 "Yes. that's it."
 DO any these people want to see him 2" The nurse frowned slightly.
 Mike Hennegan stepped back. "You can count me out" said he. q don't want to be in the way
 Nellie Downing said These are his parents and this is MT. Ncvin. newspaper man from the Planet. May We see him?"
 The nurse believed so. Someone was coming down who would con- duct them to Jim.
 They found Jim on a bed, his head swathed in bandages.
 "IIo is still unconscious said tho nurse on duty when they ap- preached the bedside. "1t is now she looked at her wrist watch "eight fifty-five. He was brought in shortly after seven o'clock
 Jim's father and mother looked down at the still figure stretched out before them. Nellie Downing turn cd her head away. as did Jack Nevin.
 Finally. "Is there any likelihood ot his regaining consciousness before before very long?" asked Prof El- well. He had almost said "before he dies" but he had caught glimpse of Mollie's white lips.
 The nurse shrugged her shoulders. There's really no way of knowing. Sometimes a patient with a fractur- cd skull will remain unconscious for several days and then recover. Oth- CTS have regained consciousness very soon and then died. Others have done so and lived"
 Nellie Downing nodded her con- firmation. All we can do is wait and hope

Breakfast - Oranges, cereal. thin cream, poached eggs on crisp Gra- ham croutons, crisp graham toast milk. coffee.
 Luncheon - Cream of tomato soup, toasted crackers, beef and vegetable salad. whole wheat bread, canned peaches on sponge cake with whipped cream. milk, tea. Dinner Pork pot pie. baked sweet potatoes corn mustard. hearts of celery. apple pie. graham rolls, milk coffee.
 Bread undergoes a distinct chnmi- cal change during the process of toas,ing. We are familiar with tho physical change producing a certain crispness and brownness of color. and are prone to place the chief value of toast in these attributes. And the crispness is important since in makes us "chcw.' But the heat of toasting changes some of the starch into deXtrin. which taxes the digestion to a lesser degree than does starch. so the chemical change is responsible for much of popularity Of crisp toast.
 Beef and Vegetable Salad
 One cup diced cooked carrots, 1-2 cup diced cooked turnips, l cup diced cold roast beef, 1 cup cooked string beans. shredded lettuce, French dressing, pickled beets.
 Make the dressing, using 1-2 tea spoon salt, IS teaspoon pepper IS teaspoon mustard, ? tablespoons vim egar and tablespoons oil Cut string beans in small pieces and combine with carrots, turnips and cold meat. Pour dressing over it, cover and let stand in a cold place for one hour. Arrange on bed of lettuce and gar nish with picKled beets cut in fancy shapes Serve very cold.

Desert ChieftainS Pamber
SheikS' of Canine World
London Dog Show Features
SaIukis, Graceful Hounds
of Arabia.
Ri United Press

BIZ United Press
LONDON, Oct. 12.-London dog
fanciers recently had glimpse at
a number of the real "sheiks' OF the
canine world. They are known as
Salukis, and were brought here
from Arabia to take part as a special
feature in a dog-show.
The bodies of these remarkable
animals are slim and arched like a
greyhound. Their legs are long and
slim, but their tails are like ostrich
plumes, their feet padded like those
of a camel, and their ears resemble
feathery millinery.
In their native deserts where the
Arabs look upon common dogs as
unclean and not to be tolerated, the
Salukis are often better treated
than the favorites of the harem
and sleep on silken rugs in the Arab
chieftain's private tents. In fact
they are never called dogs, but al
ways hounds"
The Salukis are the Oldest breed
of dog known, and have been do
mesticated for countless centuries in
the deserts of the East. They hunt
by sight and not by smell, and were
used for hunting by the Uharoahs
In fact their forms are seen carved
on many Egyptian monuments.
Since the dawn Of the Arabian
history they have been the coveted
favorites of the real desert sheik
and have caused many tribal wars
by arousing jealousy among their
owners.

HOPE is GIVEN
ON PAVING Plea
Board of Works in Favor OF
Shelby Appeal.

The board of works today in
dicated to a delegation of forty
south side residents that 1t would
grant their plea that Shelby ST., be-
tween Troy and Madison AYES, be
paved with concrete.
A resolution providing for i'm

roadway under the connecting
link" law, property owners to pay
so per cent of costs and the city
and county the remainder, is pend
ing before the board. 1t lists con-
crete as one of the prospective
paving materials.
Frank Cones, board president,
told the delegation the board de-
sired to give them what they want,
"a good concrete street"
The delegation clashed, however,

Company and Interstate Public
Service Company attorneys on re-

Both companies declared they
would move the tracks to the side
of the roadway, but said they did
not desire to pave in between the
tracks, rather keeping that space
in repair so it could be used as a
roadway.
The board postponed for two
weeks conformation of the or
dinance. The delay was taken, 1t
was believed, to permit change
within that time of concrete paving
specifications, to make them more
favorable to concrete interests and
reduce costs.

RECALLS HIS ENVY OF PRINCE
William Took Civ Man Dates Sister Royal Nurse
TOT every one has had the
mi honor of being jealous OF
prince.

I y
I'M honor of being jealous of a
prince:
But that is one of the reasons
Hiding Alarik looked forward
here today to the visit of Prince
William of Sweden, with probably
more relish than did any other
indianapolis resident.
Alarik, recently appointed ad-
vertising manager of The Indian
apolis Times, was born in Swed-
en- and spent the summers of his
school and college years at Mar
strand. a fashionable seaside re-
sort on the west coast of Sweden.
This was the favorite summer re-
sort of King Oscar II, grandfather
of Prince William and father OF
the present ruler of Sweden.
King Oscar would make fire.
ouent visits to Marstrand, anchor
ing his yacht there for a month
or more at a time. Often Prince
William known as. the Sailor
Prince Of Sweden, would accom-
pany the royal party and attend
many of the society events OF the
resort.
That's where the jealousy came
in. The girls naturally preferred
prince to mere college boys, and
Alarik and his youthful COM
panions would watch neglected
while the bellies of the resort would
flock around the prince, angling
for smile or a dance.
But Alarik has a greater reason
for interest in Prince William. His
sister, Ingrid Alarik, is assistant
director of the Red Cross IN
Sweden and, by royal command,
nurse to the royal family.
Her first royal patient was
Prince Williams only son, Prince
Lennard. She attended him at the
time he was a student in Lunds-
berg school, in the northern part
of Sweden. Since, she has at
tended almost every member OF
the royal family.

age And what is to hinder Mex
lean president from putting up a
straw man and, once elected, having
him resign after a day or so, thus
making the president again eligi-

All in all, it is a healthy sign

point where it can object to such
policies as second terms for presi-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Across
the aisle from me on the train from
Vera Crux to Mexico City sat a
Young chap who reminded me OF
pictures had seen of Rudolph Val
entino. The temperature was tropl-
cal and presently he got up and
took off his coat.
A revolver about yard long was
strapped at his side. A belt filled
with cartridges was around his
waist. Soon we fell to talking.
He turned out to be the young
secretary to General Arnulfo
Gomez, who revolted against Gales
in the State of Vera Cruz
"What does all this opposition ]
hear about to General Obregon
mean?'' I asked.

piled, "as to a second term for any

eyes," he retorted, but you've
never had a Diaz."
"There's some talk even Of third
term" I insisted.
"There won't be after you've had
Diaz," he smiled. "You see," he
went on making himself comfortable
by unbuckling his belt and tossing
his artillery and ammunition upon the
seat in front of us, even as had
tossed my hat, Gin many respects
the biggest gain Mexico got out OF
her fifteen years of revolutions was
to make it so she never could suffer
another Diaz. And now there Is
danger of our losing all we've won"
"How?"
Diaz Was Gar
ITO explain, I'll go back a bit
Porfrio Diaz came into office in
1875. With the exception of one
four-year stretch, he remained in
Office for thirty-fve years. Then in
1911, in his old age, he was over
thrown by Francesca Madero.
"Madero,s slogan was Down with
dictators.' That is what Diaz was,
dictator, a car, an absolute auto
crat. And, in a way, Mexico pros
pered under him. He played in with
all~the rich interests, including the
foreign land, mine and oil conces-
sion crowd, along with our Mexican
overIords. so he had powerful sup
port
t'The people, however, never I'M
proved an iota. They remained the
slaves of landowners, some of whose
haciendas were as large as some OF
your States. And whenever opposi-
ton appeared, Diaz would line UP
everybody who had anything even
remotely to do with it, and shoot
them down.
Madero Ended Dictator Rule
"Madero put an end to that, as J
have said. And it became part Of
our constitution that president
never could again serve more thar
one term. A year or so ago, how
ever, the constitution was inter
preted' by our chamber of deputies
to mean no president could succeed
himself-that is, he could not serve
two terms in succession.
"Under this Interpretation, former
President Obregon is eligible to re.
election. And that means that, how.
ever good a president Genera
Obregon may be, the way is paved
for another DiaZ.
