The African tsetse fly, which pro-
duces sleeping sickness, threatens
mankind with devastation, DR. Rod
eric H. Rae, director of visual edu-
cation in indianapolis public schools,
told the Universal Club at the
Columbia Club Tuesday noon.

which brings sleeping sickness from
which victims do not recover" he
said. 1.-THE swat-the-f1y slogan never
will be obsolete as long as these in

r. EARL PETERS is
QUIZZED BY JURY
IN BALLOT PROBE
Democratic Chairman Be-
Iieved to Have Given Re-
port of Detectives.

BIZ IiWrs Special
SOUTH BEND, June pr Earl
Peters of F7t. Wayne, Democratic
state chairman, appeared before the
federal grand jury here Tuesday to
testify in connection with the inVes-
tigation of bribery. corruption and
Illegal voting in Lake county at the
state and presidential election last
November.
Peters is believed to have pre-
sented q report made by Burns de-
tectlves, hired by Democratic DO
Ltical leaders in Gary at the time
OF the election. 1t is understood
that the Democrats accuse the Re
publicanS OF bringing "foaters" into
Gary and Hammond for the ballot
ing.
The government was definitely
committed to an exhaustive probe
Of political conditions in the entire
Calumet district Monday by George
RulisOn, assistant district attorney
and former minister, who is con-
Quoting the investigation in the alb
sence of Federal District Attorney
Oliver NJ LOOMS. Floyd Hartzes.
the district attorney of Fl. Wayne
district, is assisting in the investi-
eating.
Former Robinson Aid
LOOMS was formerly private sec
rotary to Senator Arthur Robinson.
With the exception Of Peters evil
dence, 1t seemed apparent that the
inquiry was more or less at a stand
still until department Of justice
agents are able to make a report Of
the under cover work just started.
Assistant District Attorney Ruli-
son was inclined to discount reports
that the department of justice had
beeen negligent in Investigating the
reports Of corruption. 1t appears,
however, that the bulk of the work
done thus far in the investigation
has been a result of activity in the
district attorneys office.
RulisOn indicated that the fed
eral operatives had made a visit to
Lake county last fall, but found
nothing to be compared with sem
sational revelations thus far re-
vealed to the grand jury.
LOOMS to Return
Absence of Oliver NJ. LOOMS. dis
trict attorney. added interest to the
Lake county situation. Reports were
circulated that he was absent with
out leave. 1t is said he is in. Oklahoma
City visiting his wife'S relatives. Dis
patches from Washington stated
that his absence has been known by
the department of justice. and that
no conference relative to his &C
tons have been held. Previous to
his appointment as district attor-
ney he served as secretary to Sen
ator Arthur R. Robinson. Word re-
ceived here stated LOOMS was on
his way home, and would be in
South Bend, probably today.

of coming from Ireland to the

he was born in Switzerland where he
spoke French most of the time. He
SAYS he speaks Danish to his mother
and Gaelic to his father, but that he
finds both languages very much more
difficult than French. He Is still rather
dubious as to whether the day will ever
arrive when he will prefer speaking
English to French.

moral value for growing boys and girls
OF almost any work, providing it Is not
too hard or injurious. especially work
that Is done to assist parents. cannot
be gainsaid. Much of the work that
farm children do Is not educative in
any other sense"
Children who do reasonable
amount of farm work suitable to their
years and under the supervision of their
parents the report concludes, ARE
fortunate. But what of the overWorked
child?
Until the individual farmer is con-
certed to the Importance of education
he should be compelled by law to send
his child to school The school must
take an important place i'll the life OF
the rural community. Too often rural
teachers neither understand nor are in
terested in rural life, and are not pre-
pared for educational leadership in a
rural district. Farm parents must be
educated in regard to the importance
of training and recreation II the coun-
try child is to be given fair chance.
The welfare of children on farms is
bound up with the economic welfare OF
the farmer. If he Is trying to make a
living on farm that cannot be ex-
pected to yield adequate returns, the
sooner he abandons farming the better.
The standard Of living for the farmer
will be raised and the opportunities en-
joyed by his family increased by any
thing that tends to restrict the number
of low grade farm operators"
