In Mr.. Minton'S talk before
the Indianapolis federation,
he asserted that the only solu-
ton to the water utility prob
lem is through municipal
ownership.
George c. Bruce, president of the
north side group, said today that If
the discussion tonight is favorable, a
committee probably will be chosen
to frame a resolution for a special
election and a voters petition for
one.
Among the most active supporters
Of the movement are former Munich
pal Judge Paul Wetter and William
Bosom, attorney.
Opposition to the Walkathon at
the state Playground will result in
discussion at the meeting on
methods to restrain the contest. The
authority of the state agriculture
bureau to lease the ground to the
enterprise will be reviewed.
Officers of the club are Mr. Bruce,
Ross Ludlow, secretary; Mrs B. B.
Mcdonald, vice president, and
George R. Brown, treasurer.

these things have risen in price
since March of this year. Yet you
see how far they must rise to
reach the 1926 level.
That level and that year have
been picked because, with prices
at those levels, it seems as though
everybody was getting about as
good a break then as he's had in
any recent year.
For instance, in that year there
seems to have been practically no
unemployment. Statistics on this
were nothing like as complete as
they are today, because then it
wasn't so important to know about
those things.

ever, estimated in 1926 that out

University Sells Beer
The consensus was that repeal
will drive out the bootlegger and
liquor diSpenSaries will be barred in
most cases from the immediate
vicinity of college campuses.
At the University of Iowa, for ex-
ample. pre- prohibition laws forbade
the sale of liquor within three miles
of the campus. It is assumed SINH
lar legislation will be passed for
the new order.
The University of Wisconsin may
prove notable exception to the
general rule, although officials there
have reached no decision regarding
new regulations. The Madison
school, however. now permits sale
of beer in campus dining halls and

Illinois Permits Drinking
Illinois regulations do not forbid
drinking among students, but pro-
vide penalties for "disorderly con-
duct" State universities formerly
were protected by four-mile dry
zone, but whether it now is legal is
a moot question. Future regulations
have been discussed by the faculty
only informally.

said present regulations, forbidding
sale of liquor within four miles of
the institution, undoubtedly would
be continued. Under the regula-
tions, sale of 30 per cent beer is
prohibited near the institution
which is only two blocks from the

officials of Michigan, Minnesota
and Indiana universities are waiting
for the return of liquor before cross
mig any bridges. State legislatures
are expected to act in all cases to
ban bars and taverns near the
schools.
Hamline and McAlester colleges
in st. Paul, will forbid sale of any
alcoholic beverage, and ask city
protection.
And just to cap the new "prohi-
bition" which threatens the student
bodies, several institutions, includ-
ing the University of Wisconsin
have indicated that if the alcoholic
content of beer is increased, then
it, too. will fall under the ban.

The telltale fingernail may tell good
deal about the health of its owner.
The chemistry of fingernails is being
studied for relations with disease by DR..
NJ x. Sullivan and his associates at
Georgetown University Medical School.
They look especially for the amount OF
cySteine. sulphur containing COM
pound which is present in the nails.
There is an apparent relationship,
they report. between sub-normal
amount OF cYsteine and arthritis, dis
ease which remains considerable Of a
mystery. This leads to the belief, they
point out, that this extremely painful
ailment is associated with micro-or-
ganism of some sort, which draws on
the normal sulphur complexeS of the
body, and thus diverts the sulphur
metabolism from its normal channels.
Sulphur sometimes is injected in the
treatment of arthritis.
The trail of cysteine, however, Is
leading much deeper into the funda-
mentals OF human physiology, according
to DR.. Sullivan's report of the work.
1t has been found as a constituent ele-
nent of all the hormoneS, those mys-
teriouS chemical substances which are
Secreted by the ductless glands. and
which have profound effects on the
physiological behavior Of the organism.
It has been located also in MANY OF
