THRIFT URGED AS
DEPRESSION CURE
MorroW'S Nephew, in City
on Business, Discusses
Economic Ills.


There is no magic cure, to be
plucked like fruit from a tree, for
a general business depression, in
the opinion Of o. B. Sandrett Jr.
chairman of the Fidelity Invest
ment Association, New York, who
was in Indianapolis Wednesday on
legal business connected with the
Utility Engineering and Service
Company.
Sandrett, nephew of Senator
Dwight Morrow of New Jersey. in
discussing the depression, declared
that thrift alone is the only cure,
and the best preventive of de-
preston like the one that gripped
the world with the def1ation Of the
1929 stock markets.
Economic progress or fundamen-
tai prosperity, whether we are
thinking in terms of the individual
or the community, or the nation, or
the world, is the result of thrift, "
he said.
1.-THE individual who spends less
than he earns thereby is enabled to
build up surplus for rainy day,
or, to put it in another way, the
individual who produces more than
he consumes creates capital for him
self and at the same time adds to
the capital of the community in
which he lives and to the capital
of the world.
Extravaganza is urged by some
as producer of wealth. We are
told to spend freely. But it is not
this indiscriminate Spender who is
the cause of prosperity.
"He rather is the real cause Of

PLEADS FOR
HUMAN DIAGNOSIS

DR.. Palmer, who is guest speaker
at the institution for the Marion
County tuberculosis Association, in
his lecture, said:
"The spirit of the machine age
has invaded medicine as it has every
other walk of life. In recent years
there has been too much reliance
on the mechanical side of diagnosis
at a loss of the essential human
touch.
ANY competent physician can
diagnose the vast majority of
tuberculosis cases if he will con-
duct his examination in an orderly,
systematic manner, and if he will
devote adequate time to the exami-
nation.
Some mechanical aids, such as
the X-ray, are valuable but far too
often sole reliance is placed on the
X-ray, and under such circum-
stances failure results

AVA blasted later by counter at

a monument will be erected there
concentrating in Seeger's sacri-
fee the deaths of hundreds Of
Americans in the legion.
Delpeuch, prior to beginning the
search, gave the United Press a
description of the death Of Seeger.
More American volunteers were
killed in the storning of Belloy
than in any other battle" he said.
''Only five out of forty-f1ve men

SECRET CHANGES CITED

Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan's
movement to relieve the burden Of
taxation from real estate received
constructive support today from the
office of John c. McCloskey, Cen
ter township assessor,
McCloskey began instructing dep
uties today for the first complete re-
assessment of real estate in Center
township since 1911.
AT a meeting with township as
SCISSORS and real estate board repre-
sentatives, McCloskey outlined a
program that is intended to remove
one of the chief causes for high
rates on real estate.
eThiS cause, sas suggested by Mayor
Sullivan to the state tax board, is
''the small assessment figures filed by
men of great wealth"
Tells of Secret Charges
With $4,000 appropriation from
the county council and twenty-four
men to appraise real estate, McClos-
key intends to equalize assessments
on real estate and check all un-
listed automobiles for taxation.
Present assessors books do not
form a true record of valuations, :"
McCloSkey declared, pointing out
that in many instances changes
have ben made secretly, lowering
assessments of wealthy men,"
McCloskey told real estate board
members today that he had sub
mitted his plan of re-aSSessment to
Mayor Sullivan, who had approved
it.
He further said: st some cases,
find that property once assessed
at $4,000 has been lowered as much
as much as $4,000 by meddling per-
sons who found favoritism and &C
cess othe assessors books
To Fix Basic Rate

workers will assess lots and ground

voted to instructing appraisers, Nc
