Unit Would Be Valuable as
Clinic for Students,
Henry Asserts.

Value of the proposed Flower
Mission hospital as clinic for
medical students was stressed today
by DR.. Alfred Henry, Indiana State
Tuberculosis Association treasurer.
DR.. Henry has been active local.
ly and nationally In combating
tuberculosis for years, and served
last year as vice-president of the
National tuberculosis Association.
IF the tuberculosis problem is
ever to be solved, the medical pro-
fession will have to help solve it.
1t is therefore incumbent upon the
medical school to educate the medi-
cal students along this line," DR..
Henry declared.
This institution would serve as
teaching unit to further the
knowledge of students relative to
diagnosing and treating properly
tuberculosis.
"Of all the units in the building
program of the city board of health,
to my mind, this unit will be one
of those giving very much needed
service to this community. should
like to see this worthy society
erect this building not only as a
memorial to itself, but as help in
serving the tuberculosis population
of indianapolis. 1t has been need
ed for many years and never was
there time at which it is more
needed than now.
"The Flower Mission Society has
been functioning for forty years,
filling niche in public health work
that no other organization has
filled. It's work for recent years has
been among tuberculous people.
The work of this society in this par
ticular line has been invaluable.
"This society has about reached
its limit in usefulness with its pres
ent environment. If it ever hopes
to branch out and cover broader

forts toward relieving the sick it

were to obtain consideration from
this government, the United Press
was informed today.
The question was raised after in
timations at the state department
that opportunity might develop
within he next year for further
naval conversations between Britain
and the United States. Officials
would not commit themselves re-
garding the likelihood of the OPP
portunity actually developing into a
conference.
Written outline of Britain's gen.
eral attitude would be insisted upon,
the United Press was informed, to
correct a weakness which proved
fatal at President Coolidge's 1927
Geneva conference.
British and American officials
have blamed each other for the
failure of that conference.
American officials now concede
that the lack of a prior understand
ing contributed most to the confer
ence collapse.

Press was informed, went to Ge-

WRECK GIVES SIX BATHS

Six Negroes, three of them girls,

None were injured seriously.

neva believing there was consider
able likelihood of British accept
ance of the proposal that cruisers
be limited to between 100000 and
100000 tons.
The British immediately rejected
the proposition, proposing instead
that 100000 tons should be the
maximum. The United States in
terpreted this as no limitation at
all, but as provision for On actual

AL SILENT ON
JOB, But WILL
LIVE IN ALBANY
Takes Over Complete Floor
of Hotel; Plans to Give
Away Zoo.
BY PERCY B. SCOTT,
rnitad Prose staff Corresponden


ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 7.-Governor
Alfred e. Smith is making plans to
become Citizen Alfred E. Smith
after six consecutive years in the
gubernatorial mansion.
He had arranged for the care OF
many of his animals which occupy
the little zoo which the Governor
kept in the rear of the mansion
and has made plans for his future
residence.
So far as the first six weeks after
the Inauguration of Franklin D.
Roosevelt are concerned, he will live
in an Albany hotel, having taken
over one complete floor.
Silent on Job
But just what he will do after
that is something of mystery, and
Governor Smith processes not to
know himself. He claims he has
given little thought to his future
and is spending all of his time in
working on state affairs.
Smith won't be idle. There are
many ways in which he can spend
his time. -...
One runor said he would be as
ISOLATED with John j. RaSkob,
chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, in a banking
corporation in New York City.
Another rumor has the Governor
associated with an insurance and
acceptance organization.
George F. Getz, millionaire Chi
cagoan for whom Smith once
worked, said just after Smith was
defeated for the Presidency:
eff Smith wants a job, I will give
him one"
Getz has numerous enterprises
into which Smith might fit.
Through With Politics
Governor Smith has indicated he
is through with politics but in the
same announcement said he had no
intention of losing his interest in
politics and affairs Of the state and
nation.
Just when the Governor will mae
his decision on the future is un-
known. Recently he said:
"There will be no announcement
from this Office for I won't know
what I'm going to do when I leave
here. 1t will be some time later"
But the Governor has arranged
for disposal of his ZOO. One of the
three monkeys will be retained and
two others will be given to Getz. An
elk, a deer and baby fawn will
be left at the ZOO, provided Smith
can get Roosevelt's consent. Five of
the six dogs are to be retained in the
Smith family.
