STATE TO END
FISCAL YEAR
in The Black
Balance of Three Millions
Expected by Treasurer
for General Fund.

Dire predictions that the state
general fund would be depleted at
the close of the fiscal year were
proved false today, with the an
nouncement of a probable balance of
100000 or more.
Estimate of the balance which
will be in the general fund when the
fiscal year closes June 30 was made
today by William Storen, state treas
urer.
One of the reasons for a favorable
balance is that the 1888 legislature
! changed the fiscal year, which for
merly ended Sept. 80, thus giving
the administration a three month
advantage in balancing the books.
Storen bases his estimate on the
probable reception Of about $780,
900 in tax inStallments from the
counties this month. This amount
was estimated at the new state rate
Of payment, which cannot exceed
IS cents on 500 of taxables under
the $3.50 limitation law.
Actual Balance Shown
His figures show that on May l,
there was an actual balance of
5000 ,605.87 in the general fund
proper.
But a new system of making re-
ports Jumps the general and rotary
funds, including the funds of the
state highway department This
gave a total of $12,835, 159.43 on
May /.
Storen pointed out that under the
new laws the funds can be shifted
about at will by the state board of
finance, so that, if necessary, high
way funds, supplied through the
gasoline tax, can be used for gen.
eral state expenditures.
He predicted that this will not
be necessary, although some special
funds shifting may have to be done
later in the calendar year, he said.
Can Borrow on Taxes
The state also can borrow money
on tax anticipation warrants. In
addition, the first installment of the
state sales and income tax is due in
July and expected to produce mil
lions.
Status of other funds on May l,
were as follows:
Forestry, $11,88379; fire marshal,
$18,224.48; teachers retirement,
$784,O32.33; Dunes park, $717099;
World war memorial, $27,515.52;
school revenue, $86,9596 ga; state sink
ing, $106,93191; Purdue university,
$340,0O0; unclaimed estates, $780,
1856; common school, $5,601.19;
swamp lands, $22,28935; library
building, $397ou.73; George Rogers

BY EARL Sparkling
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, June 16.-It was
IN 1916. War was raging in the
world. In clustered home in
Riverdale, at the north tip of New
York City, a quiet little woman
was hoping-or at least expecting
to lead life peacefully.
Twelve years she had labored in
Africa. The best years, and she
had used them faithfully along the
trails of the Southern CAMERON.
Dry season and wet, she had been
about the work of the Tribe of
God.
Jean Kenyon Mackenzie, Presby-
terrain missionary, was through.
BY all right she was through
naturally, for twelve years are a
long time along the floor of the
forest lin that place of silence,
and Of the cry of birds you do not
see, and Of the gray drift of light
among the crowding bodies of
trees, and of the never to- for
gotten odor of an immemorial
mould"
The quotation is preparation.

word. She can work you with
words.

strange thing-the best of those
Journeys is forgotten. 1t is the
hours of effort that are remem-
bered and the journeys that were
hard
why is it sweet to remember
fatigues and hungers and the
toughest ways? I wonder.
Did We really sleep so we'll on our
old canvas cots, and was drink,
indeed, so sweet from our bat
tered camp cups, or do we dream
it?
Let us try to remember how
we hated the rustic of the rats in
the thatch and the fatal hole in
the roof that was directly over our
cot in whatever village we camped
and on whatever night it rained.
WE remember. And while

a boat out and went on. 1t took
her three months to get to the
CAMERON. And once she was
there she stayed eighteen months.
1t is difficult to imagine what
the World war was in the African
forest. But Miss Mackenzie has
written words to help:
The last stand of the Germans
in the CAMERON was made in this
neighborhood; rom here they
went over into the neutral terri
tory of Spanish Guinea. Fifteen
thousand carriers, caught up from
their homes here and there in
the forest, went with them.
And presently the tide turned:
the carriers, released on the Span
ish beach with a silver mark in
the hand. began to hunt their way
home. Back they came Who were

IT WAS only an interpreter. I
4 knew Bantu and I knew
French. I was what we call small
boy Part of the confusion was
very amusing. You see, the French
divided the southern CAMERON
into military zones. But we Pres
byterians had divided it years
before into communion service
zones.
when the French issued an or
der concerning a zone, they never
knew quite what would happen
and only We Presbyterians could
explain it ALL"
The frail woman who never was
to have been there saw it through.
She helped restore peace among
the natives. She helped to con-
vince the French that the Pres
byterians we're good people to
have around, useful in any ur-
gency.
But there is little she has to
say about it all as she sits in the
back garden of her Riverdale
home these years later. There
are close friends even who do not
know the part she played.
In 1918 she returned to the
United States. a two months trip
in cargo boat. At one time on
the homeward trip the ship was
under fire of German submarine
for three-quarters of a hour.
She mentions that only in a
breath. There was a shot every.
minute, but we zigzagged and got
away" To her, too, as to Caro-
line Singer, true adventure is of
the spirit and not of the body.

SCHOOLS AND
CITY WAR ON
MALNUTRITION
Intensive Work to Preserve
Health of Pupils Is
Being Planned.
BY BASIL GALLAGHER
Times stan Writer

Malnutrition, arch enemy of school
children and ally of most adolescent
diseases, will be attacked next fall
by the combined forces of the school
city and the board of health with
some new weapons.
DR.. Herman Morgan, secretary of
the board of health, announced to-
day that even more intensive work
in the pre-school group, the fresh
air rooms, and the special classes
for mentally and physically deficient
children would be featured in the
| 1933-34 term.
Mrs. Ruth Heavenridge of the
/ school board and Miss Martha Van
Meter of the Indiana tuberculosis
/ Association. working with other adj
viserS. are prepared to fnaugurate a
new system which has been tried
out quietly in various classes for al
most year.
Needs Are Studied
Last fall Mrs. Heavenridge gave
teachers a QUESTIONABLE labeled "a
fact finding plan" From this. indi-
vidual children were studied and
their needs stipulated
Four committees of teachers then
were organized to study the needs
of the children. Grouped roughly,
they found that many children
stood in need of a hygienic daily
schedule, many needed more out
door play and many more were not
nourished properly, due to peculiar
home conditions.
The committees found that study
of childs home life and school
life could not be separated. Children
of families receiving relief baskets
were found, in some cases, to be
better off than children in homes
where the mother worked and
failed to give them proper care.
From the study, Mrs. HeaVenridge
has prepared charts and schedules
that will be put into effect in the
fall, with a corps of teachers trained
in the new technique.
Children Are Healthier
Despite the depression, DR.. Nor
gan declared today that Indianap-
oils school children are healthier
generally than in any year in the
history of the board of health.
Twenty years ago" said DR.. Nor
gan, "the infant mortality rate was
1875 for each thousand population.
Today it is APT. From the ages of
2 to it runs about 80 a thousand
and on down. We used to feel that
we were in Utopia when we reached
so a thousand.

 Little Girl With
 Borrowed Auto
Only Charge That COnId Be Preferred Was Driving Without License-TOOk Car Under Pretense of Going to Buy Fined $50 and Costs To-day

Expressing regret that the charge was not more serious one as to permit a severer fine, Judge Edward Mascolo in police court this morning imposed a fine of $50 and costs on Rosario Arvisais, 27, of 347 South Main street. The youth pleaded guilty to operating a motor vehicle without a license. A charge of obtaining a machine under false pretenses was nolled yesterday owing to insufficient evil dence.
 This young man without funds and without employment and ap- parently without any hopes of buy- ing an automobile obtained the use of a car for an afternoon and, while enjoying himself, injured a little girl. He has no financial re. sponsibility. The innocent victim of the accident is suffering from fractured bones in her foot. I am sorry that the charge is not more serious one and that am unable to impose a severe sentence. I am going to fine the accused the maxi mum amount, $50 and costs," com nented Judge Mascolo on disposing f the case.
 Arvisais was sent to. jail in de- ault of bonds. The machine he borrowed temporarily last Monday ,fternoon for demonstration pur- ,oses ran down a little girl named 'ern Dixon of Jewelry street. She vas reported as not painfully hurt, ut a more thorough examination

Poultry License
 Is Not Required New Law Effective Aug Is
 Doesn't Affect the Farmers

Hartford, August 18-Commis- sioner of Agriculture Olcott F. King in a statement issued today endeav- OTIS to clear up an apparent misun- derstanding of the so-called "poui- try licensing law" The law became effective August 18th and for tl<, past few days the department has received numerous inquiries from poultrymen who were of the belief that they had to secure license just the same as poultry dealers.
 Commissioner King is advising all poultrymen that just so long as they sell poultry entirely of their own raising they will not be. re- quired to have a icense. Copies of the law, chapter 305 of the Public Acts of 1893 entitled "An Act Con- cerning the Shipment of Live Poul- try" will be sent upon request ad- dressed to the department at Hart ford.
 The department has licensed more than 172 poultry dealers to date and supplied them with iden- tifying metal markers to be placed on the vehicle used in transporting live poultry. The law requires that all live poultry dealers, live poul- try markets and all those engaged in the transportation of live poul- try, except common carriers and farmers engaged in the transporta- tion of poultry entirely of their own raising, shall secure a license from the commissioner of agricul- ture.
