Aids Given Free Hand
Several hundred thousand pounds
of food products, supplied by the
Federal Surplus Relief Corp, were
reported being prepared in tempo

tributed directly to flood-needy
families by WPA trucks and work
ers.

ever the need has arisen" Mr.. Hop

1t was estimated that $4,000 WPA
men worked on emergency flood
work in the affected states, and this
was said to be probably the largest
single unit of man-power engaged
in the battle against the food.

WELFARE BODY
SELECTS H0kE
Circuit Judges to Meet Here
Tuesday to Discuss
County Boards.

With judges, to whom the recent
special session entrusted authority
for appointment of county welfare
boards, are to meet here Tuesday

on the boards and the organizations
to have representation.
Meeting yesterday for the first
time, the Public Welfare Board
named Fred Hoke, Indianapolis,
president; Mrs. Marie Stuart Ed
wards, Peru, vice president, and
Wayne Coy, WPA director and head
of the Governors Unemployment
Relief Commission, acting state di-
rector.
Job Board Formed
The Unemployment Compensa-
ton Board also organized with Will
fred Jessup, Richmond, as presi-
dent; Alex Gordon, indianapolis Ia

ence A. Jackson, state gross income
tax division head, director.
Mr.. Jackson said the work for
the present will be done by the
gross income tax division.
The new employment compensa-
ton department will be operated
chiefly as collecting agency until
1888 because no benefits are to be
paid before that time. The depart
ment will not receive guaranteed
employment plans until Jan. 1, 1899.
One of the immediate tasks con-
fronting the welfare board is COM
pilation of its tentative budget for
submission to the Federal Social Sc

ROBBERS BEAT LIQUOR

Robert Simpson Is Recovering From
Head Injuries.

Robert Simpson, Roosevelt Hotel,
clerk of the Park Liquor Store, 1877
N. Illinois-st, is recovering today
from head injuries inflicted last
night by two robbers who held up
the store and escaped with $3.50.
The two men had been in the
store twice earlier in the night,
Simpson told police, and each time
they had purchased a pint of liquor.
They returned a third time about
midnight and asked for another
pint, giving him $40 bill AS he
turned to get change the men
struck him~on the head and rif1ed
the cash register. They escaped in
black auto.
Simpson was taken to City Hos
pital where at first it was thought
he had received a fractured skull.

relief leaders this sum promised to
be sufficient, at least for the i'm
mediate future.
Sticks to Historic Policy
Senator Guffey had talked at, the
White House with Rear Admiral
Cary T. Grayson, Red Cross ma
tional chairman, and was informed
of the organization historic policy,
never broken, of gathering its funds
only by voluntary subscriptions and
refusing to accept grants voted by
Congress.
This policy is based on the Red
Cross platform of absolute separa-
ton between its relief work and
partisan politics. It's officers fear
that if congressional appropriations
are accepted members of the House
and Senate will feel themselves
privileged to demand special favors.
But several members of the
House declare the floods have left
such great task of providing food
and shelter Immediately, and later
rehabilitating families, that the
100000 asked for the Red Cross
will only begin to meet the needs.
They have been thinking in hun
dreds of millions and in billions for
so long that the Red Cross three
million seems a small sum.
Other Measures Proposed
Rep. Henry Ellenborgen Cd, Pa
has introduced bill for $50,000,-
900 appropriation to be spent at
the Presidents direction. Rep.
Joseph Gray 3D., Pa.) asked ten
times that much, or half a billion
dollars, for relief and rehabilitation.
Rep. Matthew Dunn 3D., Pa made
it full billion. with provisions for
loans at not more than per cent
interest. Reps. Jennings Randolph
and George w. johnson Cd, w. Va
advocated transfer of smaller sums
to the Red Cross. for use particu-
larly in their state. Rep. Theodore
l.. Moritz Cd, Pa put in a bill
for modest S5,0000o0, but confined
its use to his home, Allegheny
County.
The outcome of Mondays meeting
is expected to be a general bill,
offering relief in all flooded areas,
and with administration placed in
the hands of some government
agency.
Whether it will become a law is
believed to rest with the developing
needs Of the next few days, the pub
lie response to the Red Gross appeal,
and the ability of that organization
to meet the situation.

in one quarter, will be chance for

RESIGNATION EXPLAINED
BY JAMES w. FESLER
Former I. u. Trustee Points to
Differences With Board.

James w. Fesler explaining his
resignation as chairman of the
board of trustees of Indiana Uni
versity has issued statement say
ing that his action followed dis
agreement with certain policies of
the board. He said:
Il do not wish to discuss the
matter further than to say that
have protested against certain mis-
conduct of a member of the uni
versity administrative staff in con-
nection with important business
of the university, which miscon-
duct has never been denied"
For this and other scarcely less
important reasons can not, with
my conception of the responsibilities
and duties of trustee, remain on
the board. 1t is a matter of deep
regret to me that I must sever my
official relationship with Indiana
University"

 New York, -Dressing up the win. dows of your home with crisp and airy curtains iS one of the Surest ways to make it cool and inviting for the hot weather months.
 organdy, lacy weaves, ruffled marquisette and point d'esprit- when there's . breeze lurking just outside windows curtained in these sheer fabrics, the thin weaves will let in every bit of it. Besides lock- ing cooler, rooms with windows hung thus actually ARE cooler.
 Color may be introduced with Venetian blinds or patterned shades and if you haven't shopped re. gently for shades you're sure to he surprised at the decorative effects with which they have blossomed out.
 Picture, for instance. an early American bedroom with ruffled cur- tains of daffodil yellow, hung over deep sprigged with tiny red roses. The same roge7prigged material was used for the full skirt and ruff. fled top of the dressing table, and the red of the roses was matched exactly by the binding of the ruf- fles.
 Match Slip Covers
 A blue bowl filled with white snapdragons, @ Currier and Ives print on the wall, rush-bottom chairs and hooked rug completed the effective window grouping.
 You can match the pattern Of your window shades with slip cov- CTS for chairs or davenport. If you do this, though, better have only one slip cover in pattern and the others plain. Otherwise your eye will tire of the monotonous effect.
 When you buy lace curtains, you may Ego" modern, Victorian, early American or match practically any other style of decoration you wish. The simple, openmesh weaves in rough Weaves in rough and sturdy textiles are especially well suited to early American or Provincial furniture. Daintier, cobwebby ef- fleets have been created for more

 Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 The most frequent illness of ba- bieg is the common cold. Usually this is not serious, but everything possible should be done to prevent secondary bronchitis, pneumonia, or an infected ear.
 Children who are well fed and well taken care of, with proper at- tention to hygiene, are much less likely to catch cold than those who are undernourished and constantly exposed to changes in temperature and crowded conditions.
 The child who has plenty Of sleep, exercise, fresh air, and sun- shine is more likely to resist colds than is the one with improper hy- siene.
 Air in the child's room should be suitably moistened by evaporation of water from the radiator, or by use of humidifying device.
 It is now possible to purchase, at small cost, an instrument which tells the humidity of the room. The average house is about 20, when 1t should be 45 or 50 in winter.
 People with colds should not be permitted to come near babies, par ticulariy those who are delicate, for these catch cold much more easily than d oadults who are accustomed to colds.
 Large tonsils and adenoids also seem to make children more sus. ceptible to sore throats than are adults. If & child is found to have large, or infected, tonsils and ade- holds, these should be removed. It as the universal opinion that chil- dren wLo have had infected tonsils < and adenoids removed suffer less frequently with sore throats than they did before.
 ii, preY: nting colds in children Che diet should contain adequate amounts of cod-liver oil, and the amounts of carbohydrates should be 1essened.
 The clothing should be of medium weight, and care should be taken to avoid chilling after precipitation. The sleeping room should be cool.
 The child should have a luke warm or slightly cool sponge bath in the morning, given in a warm room and with the feet in warm water. This bath should be quite al1ort-less than minute-and should be followed by a brisk rub with 6 towel. The warm bath should be taken at night.
 Use of shots or injections to prevent colds is not yet established as really useful. although many physicians are inclined to believe that these injections help. When adults in homes in which there are email babies develop colds, they may wear gauge masks to cover nose and mouth. and in that way prevent esamnnision of colds to the babies.
 At frst sign of R cold, the child nf0uld Dc put to bed. lis food lesseii- cd. and it's bowels regulated. fl there aa fever. the doctor should be eall- nd.
