Cain CONTROL.
OVER DISEASE
Meningitis knowledge Is
Aided, Club Is Told.

Valuable knowledge OF preventive
and curative treatment of spinal
meningitis was discovered during
the recent epidemic in Indianapolis
according to DR.. Herman G. Nor
gan, city health officer.
Serum treatment has been per-
fected to a degree far beyond the
knowledge of medical science pre-
vious to the recent epidemic, DR..
Morgan declared Tuesday night be-
fore the Sherman-E Emerson Civic
League. Means of determining and
controlling carriers have been dis
covered.
Betty Jane Hall, s, Of 210 North
Harding street, is the latest to con-
tract the malady, making the seven
ty-ffth case in the last five weeks.
No deaths were reported.
DR.. Morgan declared the health
condition of the city is the best it
has been since early last fall. Ma
jority of the carriers of the disease
have been released and the quaran-
tine on the remainder is expected to
be lifted soon.
Continued use of antiseptics was
urged as a general hygienic measure.

READY FOR PLAZA
RAZING OBJECTIONS

misSioners and an undetermined
number by church executives.
Boards resolution declares the
county should proceed alone in
purchasing the land owned and
oc ~upied by both churches, carrying
out purposes of an act passed by
the Indiana legislature, March II,
1921.
The purchase Is feasible, the
resolution continues, because "the
World War Memorial commission,
instead of placing said memorial in
the block in which it agreed to place
the same, placed it in the block now
occupied by such churches and
caused agitation for said churches
to be removed"
The shrine was to have been
erected one block north of its
present site. according to first plans
OF the Plaza.
Resolution is attested by Commits
sioners George Snider, Charles O.
Sutton and John E. Shearer, and
County Auditor Harry Dunn.

Closing of the New Harmony Bank
and Trust Company of New Har-
mony, Posey county, on orders of
the state banking department Tues
day, is expected to interfere with
merger negotiations between the
closed institution and the First Ma

The negotiations had been re-
ported to the state banking de-
partment and were in line with the
departments policy of consolidating
small city banking units. A contract
for the merger had been signed.
The negotiations were interfered
with several weeks ago, when j. w.
Whitehead, president of the First
National bank of New Harmony
committed suicide. The First Ma
tional bank affairs were not in
volved in his death and the insti
tuition was not closed.
Closing of the New Harmony Bank
and Trust Company was ordered
because of frozen assets and loss of
deposits, Luther F. Symons, state
bank examiner, said.

NTAHJORIE ABBOTT almost ran
AVA along the street, through the
early morning crowds. She had just
wrenched the heel off one of her
pumps She'd have to stop at the
shoemker's and have 1t fixed, and
that would make her late to the Office
late too, for all the other things
that must be crowded into her busy
day. She wanted to get in some shop
ping before late afternoon, when she
was TO have tea with Geoff; must get
1t in. in fact, for she wanted to look
her very best. Not that Geoff would
notice, in all probability. He never
had seemed to notice what she was
wearing in the old days back home.
1t was three years since she had seen
him. He'd changed In lots of ways,
NEST likely. living abroad and travel
ing lot and all that.
The shoemaker was bent low over
a delicate little pump when Marjorie
hurried into his shop. She explained
that she must have her shoe fixed at
once. She'd had to walk the last half
block with one heel off, and she couldn't
possibly go on that way! Her shoes
were rather square, low-heeled ones.
but even so 1t had been difficult.
"But can't fix that now. Miss"
he told her. "I've got rush order
here-twO rush Orders-and my daugh-
ter's getting married this noon. and
I've got to 20 home for that"
Marjorie looked at him in despair.
"But what can l dO?" she cried.
He glanced down at her feet, and
then reached to low shelf and held
out a shoe to her 1t was patent

wide buckle made it seem even
narrower and simmer than 1t was
"Try this" he told her. "Just slip
1t on; | think it'll fit"

told him. II wear just flat, low-heeled
ones. Anyway, it isn't mine"
"No, but it's mine, to sell, maybe"
he told her. "a customer of mine
sprained her ankle, and she's got TO
wear low-heeled shoes for year after
1t gets well, and she asked me II
couldn't keep all her high-heeled ones
here, and maybe sell them TO one Of
