alton in a pawn shop.
That, in brief, is the story Of
Audrey Apanuk, Russian born
member of the American Expe-
ditionary Forces, gaSSed and
twice wounded in major Allied
offensiveS, who reenlisted when
he was hardly able to stand
and got by-and is now in WASH
ington seeking compensation for
permanent disability.
Apanuk came to the United
States in 1918, vigorous consittu-
ton permitting him to work on
rolling machines in factories.
He sailed for France on April 6,
1918, a member of Company F, Atm
Infantry, Third Division. He took
part in the battles Of the Aisne,
Champagne-M -Marne, Aisne-Marne,
st. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne and
Chateau Thierry. He was
wounded by shrapnel in the latter
engagement on July 25, 1918, and
the following October 4 was shot
and gassed in the Meuse- -Argonne
drive.
1t was in 1922 that he reen-
listed at Fort Washington, Md,
the doctors passing him without
examination in view of his ex-
service record. But the rigorS Of
military life proved too much for
him, and he was sent to the hos
pital
Again discharged, he renewed
his battle for health, It was in
this same year that his compen.
sation was cut from $50 to SO,
Last February he was again cut
to ST, and on July l his COM
penSation reached a new low Of
$6 a month.
His attorneys-Albert K. John
son and Ellis Klein-have
claim pending before the War
Compensation Board asking for
full compensation for Apanuk and
are awaiting personal hearing.
But meanwhile the battle-scarred
veteran must eat.
And that is why a Purple Heart
decoration, founded by the Father
of his Country and inscribed to
Audrey Apanuk, is lying in pawn
shop just over the District line,

Capital Statistician Declares Success Of Plan
Depends on Protecting Interests

If the Consumers Board of the

a sorry one on the country, warns
Marie Obernauer, veteran stats

Says Miss Obernauer:
'Tt makes me grind my teeth
to hear the board referred to
as a joke or a window dressing.
If it falls down on its job it
is going to be a grim joke on
the rest of u.s."
Recent upsets on the board
have, Miss Obernauer says, shaken
the confidence of the public that
its interests will be protected

RISEN PAYROLL
LAGS BEHIND
PRODUCTION
BY International News Service
Payrolls at textile establish

BY international news service
Payrolls at textile establish
ments producing cotton, wool,
silk, and other fabrics increased
to so per cent in the past quar-
ter, the Federal Reserve Board re-
ported today.
This gain is contrary to seasonal
tendencies, the board noted. While
other industries have not Jared
so well, according to the report, a
rapid rise in business activity and
in commodity and security prices
has occurred in recent months.
Efforts of some industries to pile
up production ahead of employ
ment and wage gains anticipated
in the codes was reflected, the re-
port showed, in textiles, shoes, and
cigarette manufacture.
100000 More Employed
While more than 100000
people have been reemployed dur
ing the second quarter of the
year, employment expanded much
slower than production, This is
attributed to manufacturers alb
sorbing a certain slackness in their
own ranks before taking on addi-
tional workers.
There were approximately H.
100000 still idle in June, the re-
port said.
Building activity is still at low
ebb. The steel industry derived
most of the increased demand
from its products from automobile
plants and miscellaneous sources
rather than from railroads or
other big buyers, but the report
called attention to signs Of per-
manent recovery.
Prices Up 16 Per Cent
Wholesale prices advanced about
Is per cent for the quarter, the
report noting the significant
change in prices of farm products
and foods, which have shown
greater advances from their pre-
vious low levels than any other
major group.
In manufactures, the major
gains in output have been in
plants turning out semifinished
goods. Steel works and rolling
mills have shown more activity
than steel consuming manufac-
turers.

experts, statisticians and econo

the value of noted economists
and proved statisticianS for the

lieve there should be a repre-

'I believe it was logical to put
a woman at the head of the
board. Women are the nations
greatest buyers. And the home
is the center of all industry.

sey, chairman of the board, and
don't expect to meet her. But
l am meeting every day dozens
of men and women who, as
consumers, are taking vital
interest in the work of the
board"
Public Anxious
Miss Obernauer says she has
been besieged, especially since the
rumpus raised by Prof. William
F. Ogburn, of Chicago, when he
resigned from the borad, by per-
sons anxious for fear that the
consumer was to be forgotten in
the recovery program. Says she:
IF they are forgotten, there
will be no recovery"

Interest of bacteriologists of New

where the worst localized out
break Of epidemic encephalitis
commonly called sleeping sick
ness, IN the history of the coun.

To date 81 deaths have been

Noted Doctors at Work
Clippings from the papers and

outbreak lay today on the desks
Of doctors, famous the world over
IN their profession, at the Neuro-
logical Institute, at the Columbia
Laboratory in the medical cen
ter, at Rockefeller Institute, the
laboratory of the New York Board
OF Health, Mt. Sinal Hospital and
the Cornell Laboratory in New
York Hospital.
The search for the cause of the
disease is being intensified in
some of the laboratories where
work was in progress when the
outbreak occurred. For the cause
is still unknown.
Epidemic encephalities was un-
known in the world, or confused
with other inflammations of the
brain, until 1917. Then a great
investigator, the late DR.. C. Won
Econemo. of Vienna, wrote the
first authoritative description of

Once Covered World
In the early 1920s it became a
worldwide epidemic. There were
hundreds of cases in America
(not as localized as the present
outbreak and it was prevalent
in Europe, Japan, and China.
In the past five or six years
few acute cases were noted until
it appeared again in St. Louis.
The best medical opinion is
divided at to its cause. DR.. c.
Levaditi, of the Pasteur Institute,
holds it is caused by the filtrable
virus Git will pass through the
finest filter and cannot be segre-
gated which causes herpes SIM
plex, the common cold sore or
fever blister.
DR.. E. C. Rosenow. of the Mayo
Clinic, Rochester, Mimi, holds it

SPECIAL WATCHING BUT
SELDOM GETS 1T

This is the last Of six articles by
Olive Roberts Barton, authority on
problems Of collaborating, on "Sum-
mer Care of Babies"
The child who needs just as careful
watching as the baby is the one from
two to six years Of age.
We bend over backwards to keep
the baby safe and that is right. We
organize all sorts Of regular physical
examinations and free clinics for the
school child, see that he gets his
regular milk in summer hours, and in
many cases free lunches. And that is
right, too.
But what do we do for the pre-
school child? Almost nothing at all.
It is called by certain indignant spe-
cialists trying to save child life "the
neglected age" and so it is.
The child gets almost his entire
heritage Of health under six Then
why is it that so many people become
careless of him and take it for granted
that after his babyhood he can sit at
the table and eat the same foods his
parents eat-pastry, rich sauces, too
much starch, strong gravies and the
like?
Needs Special Attention
Besides all this, he is not old enough
to attend to himself as the six or
eight-year-old brothers and sisters,
yet in some mysterious way he is al
lowed to shift for himself. OF course
I am speaking in generalities. Many
mothers are very careful of these little
folk. And even those who are inclin~
ed to think the two-to-six child needs
no special attention are hardly to be
blamed, because the needs Of such
children have never been accented.
The emphasis has ever been on the

, vations and remain there. The In
dians were ordered to comply by Jan.
81, 1876, and failing to do so were to
be deemed hostile and treated accord
ingly by the military forces Of the
United States. Though framed as an
ultimatum, the message meant imme-
date war since the limit Of time
within which a compliance was de-
nanded precluded the possibility of
the Indian having adequate knowl-
edge of the government requirements,
to say nothing of acceptance or rejec-
ton. 1t is, indeed, quite probable that
Indians knew nothing of the ultima
tum or it's significance until suddenly
| it was brought in upon them through
the terrible medium Of fire and
Sword"
AS to numbers at the Little Big
Horn, Byrne said, it is claimed that
the Indian warriors at the Little Big
Horn were greatly in excess Of the
whites. Regarding the actual number
engaged, there is, of course, no accur-
ate check; but the writer's generally
give themselves wide attitude in their
estimates. Some claim there were as
many as 5000 warriors in the fight;
but when asked how the figures are
arrived at they are at loss.
Indian Claimed 1000
DR.. Charles A. Eastman, Byrne said,
an Indian of the Sioux tribe and a
graduate of both Dartmouth college
and Boston University Medical School,
estimates the number of warriors in
camp at 1000
Regarding ammunition of the In
dians, Byrne quoted George Bird
Grinnell, who wrote 1.-THE Fighting
Cheyennes," as saying when the
fight began, about half the Indians
had guns and the remainder bows, for
which, however, they had many ar
rows. The guns were of many sorts
-muzzle leaders, Spencer carbines.
old-fashioned Henry rifles, and old
Sharps military rifles. The Sharps
were probably the best guns the In
dians had except those recently cap
tured from the soldiers"
In closing, Byrne quoted General
Sheridans official report Of 1878 as
saying "The government made trea-
ties, gave presents, made promises,
none OF which was honestly fulfilled.
d.. We took away their country and
their means Of support, broke up their
mode of living, their habits of life, in
troduced disease and decay among
them, and it was for this and against
this they made war"
Through the efforts Of Senior Lynn

printed as Senate Document 68, en-
titled when War Came to the In
dian."
