 In four months all the chill dren will all be immune The schick test, as previously men, toned in these columns, is unit versally known as tIle most ac- curate test for this disease. 1t is made by a tiny puncture in the skin with very small needle.
 Next week, with the consent of parents, Seward school chill dren will be given the test; pro- yiding also, sufficient anti-toxin is on hand, if not, the remainder will be tested at a later date.
 It is Dr. Haverstock' ambition to test every man, woman and child in the city for future ref- erence. Names of those tested will be filed in the hospital re- cords from which 1t can be as- certained those who have taken the test and immune, and those, otherwise.

Lack of Funds Cited as Reason.
but Decision Is Being
Withheld.

The Municipal Architects Office is
facing the alternative of laying of 81
employees in the designing and inspec-
ton divisions or else Of not having
enough money to operate after the end
Of the calendar year.
According to Assistant Municipal Ar
chitect S. B. Walsh, the decision has
not yet been made. Should it be de-
cided to lay of 81 employees at once.
this would delay many plans now in the
ONCE, including those for the main
building of the Children's tuberculosis
Sanitariun1. expected to be contracted
for some time this Winter
The employees facing the lay-off are
employed under the peculiar law gov
erning the Municipal Architects Once,
whereby per cent of the appropriation
for construction items is set aside for
the employment of architects and 9TH
ers engaged in making the construction
plans.
Some Of the employees of the ofice
are on regular annual salary roll and
those are not threatened with the lay
of. AS to the others, the shortage of
funds now Is ascribed to the large
amount of architectural work done
early this Spring and Summer under
the Immediately available" construc-
ton appropriation.
It is expected that an effort will be
made at the next session of Congress
the continuance of work In the NUM-
cipal architects office.
Forty per cent of the employees of the
ONCE on the per diem roll have al
ready been dropped because Of the
money shortage.
