Girl FleeS TraadmiH of
Toll for Brighter Fields
Weary Of Endless Round Of
Work, She Leaves Her
Belfast Mother.
ELDORA FIELD

When iron-bound circumstances
have bound a little girl to an end
less round of working in a factory.
When each Saturday night for
months and months she has taken
her slender little envelope home to
belfast invalid mother and a
small brother whose sole support she
was
When the So that came out of
that envelope had to pay the rent
of their two shabby rooms, buy
groceries. books for the boy, clothes,
everything
Then that little girl, with life In
the distance limiting rosy and en-
trancing dreams, might reason as
did 15-year-old Grace Mahlen,
daughter of Mrs. Maude Mahlen,
$50 River Ave, and decide that the
only thing to do was to run away.
Grace has been missing since Tues
day morning.
With her went her sympathizing
little girl friend Lucille Giley, Is.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Shamback, 1911 w. McCarty st.
Lucille had no reason to run
away. She's undoubtedly gone to
help Grace and keep her company"
remarked Mrs. Shamback. Lucille
had worked only one day 1t the glass
factory where Grace was employed.
She has taken a good many of her
clothes with her and So"
Grace's mother, belfast, invalid
for five years. says Grace has no
money with her and took no clothes.
"She scarcely had more than was on
her back, anyway" she said. Her
pocketbook was empty. If she gets
anything to eat, the Gilley girl will
have to pay for 1t.
This all came about because my
little girl was so discouraged and
heartsick at our circumstances.
Mother, I'm so tired. 1t just seems
I can't stand this grind much long,
err she's said a number of times
lately. 1t will just kill me Ii they
don't find her soon"
At the time they disappeared, the
Mahlen girl had on a worn, dark
red coat and small gray hat. She
has dark hair and eyes and weighs
about ITO pounds. The Gilley girl
also has dark hair, but her eyes
are blue. She wore pink jersey
dress, a black and white coat and
small black hat.

! To SEEK new
DEAL IN CITY
First Winter Meeting to Be
Held by Federation !.
Friday Night.
BUDGET WILL BE UP
DuvaII Case, Zoning, Paving
to Be Among Subjects
Given Consideration.

The Federation of Civic Clubs
will discuss the chaotic condition
of city government" Friday night,
President John F. White indicated
today.
The federation will hold its first
winter meeting at the Chamber of
Commerce and discuss the years
program.
Something should be done to
to save the reputation of the city,
but l do not know what steps the
federation will take. 1 know sew
eral members feel something should
be DONE" White said.
Public Opinion Going Wrong
Recent incidents are not devel-
oping the right kind of public opin-
ION. No one wants to assume re-
sponsibility, although public senti-
ment is strong in many quarters
that a decisive stand should be
taken.
Lawyers disagree as to legality If
Mayor Duvall's continuing in office.
OF course nothing definite can be
done until after the hearing Oct. 8
on the motion for new trial. I
am in hopes something will erys-
tallize after that" White said.
Tax levies, the new 1923 city bud
get, coming proposals, the board of
works street paving specifications
and Monument flood lighting are. to
be discussed.
Concrete Break. Asked
The federation went on record as
favoring fair break" for con-
crete as street paving material
before it was reinstated as a
specified material in city's specifi-
cations.
Nov they have made the cost of
concrete extreme because of the
increased requirements. 1 don't think
that is justihable," White declared.
1t is probable the fedation will
take stand favoring elimination
OF parking on Monument Circle, as
requested by Superintendent Oren
Perry. A request of Perry that an
ordinance permitting parking, in
violation of a State statute, be
rescinded is pending III city council.
Perry plans cleaning and flood
lighting of the monument and asked
the city to aid in the parking
problem.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Somehow,
during the last year. no one seems
to have stopped to explain why our
policy of gentle benevolences toward
chaotic China was so different from
Our comparatively rough and severe
policy toward such nearby republics
as Nicaragua. Haiti and Mexico.
On the one hand, certain sections
Of the press, the pulpit and the
Congress loudly deplored the admin
istration's Latin-Amcrican policy and
then lavishly praised its noble re-
fusal to join with Great Britain in
shooting up the Chinese despite the
fact that the Chinese had been much
more unruly than the Latin-Amer-
leans.
Again. there were those who cheer
ed Justify our iron handed methods in
Nicaragua and coward Mexico and
deplored the absence Of similar tao
tics in China.
A matter of fact. neither great
blame nor high praise can be accord
ed the present government on any
theory that it has acted with unac-
customed altruism or ruthlessness.
, Both in this hemisphere and in the
Far East, it merely followed out
foreign policies which have been we'll
defined for at least three decades
and which have been adhered to by
both Republican and Democratic
administrations.
The Caribbean and the Asiatic
policies. however, have been funda-

banding United States has had to

the last century. Prior to that Amer

national boundaries.

When a patient goes to a hospital
or to an X-ray laboratory at the
suggestion Of his physician and has
X-ray pictures taken he is likely to
think that he is entitled to Il few
pictures for himself much as if he
had visited the photographer.
However. the courts have made
numerous decisions in, the case of the
usual photographer, having held that
the negative is the property Of, the
photographer, subject to certain re-
strictions.
OF course. everyone knows that a
person who comes to a photographer
expects to receive or purchase prints
of the photograph and does not cx-
pect to receive any Of the intermsd;-
ate products of the process of manu-
facture.
Ordinarily Of No Use
On the other hand, it has never
been established whether a person
who has himself X-rayed expects to
receive merely an opinion and advice.
Il copy of the picture, the original
plate, or all these things. Of course.
the X-ray plate or even a print Of
1t is useless to the ordinary person.
since 1t requires. special skill for
its Interpretation.
When an accident may be involved
in legal case, the presentation Of
the X-ray plate in court may be i'm
portant. Some years ago the X-ray
society of North America, known as
the Pathological Society, adopted
resolutions that all pictures, photo
graphs or other records were the
property of the man who made them,
or OF the laboratory in which they
were made.
There also arises some difficulty
in determining whether the plate is
to be controlled by the man who
makes the picture or by the hospital
in which the picture is made. A hos
pital may make such regulations as
are necessary for efficient manage
ment. A part of such efficient man
apement requires that the records Of
all cases, including the X-ray pic
lures. remain in the hospital.
There then arises the question as
to whether or not patient has the
right to inspect his hospital record.
including any X-ray picture that may
have been taken. or whether he NAV
take copy of the record and of the
pictures. provided he is willing to
pay for them.
Never Settled
These matters have been in the
courts in connection with suit Of
one kind or another, but never have
been settled by any of the higher
courts. In most instances Judges
have listened to the evidence and have
then rendered their decision on the
basis Of what seemed most reasonable
under the circumstances.
1t the custom were to develop for
all persons to keep records Of all
Illnesses, includino X-ray pictures.
physicians would be greatly helped in
having the material available in
subsequent illnesses. However. this
millennium from the standpoint Of
health and disease control seems to
be far, far away.
