BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 3l.-Dr. Herman
N. Bundesen, president of the Board
of Health. announced today that free
blood tests in Chicago's campaign to
stamp out syphilis will begin tomorrow
with city, State and college labora-
tories cooperating.
He said the tests were to begin
October /, but due to the heavy re-
sponse from the public generally, the
committee in charge of the campaign
decided to move up the date.
During the last month secret ques-
tionnaires were mailed asking re-
cipients whether they would voluntarily
submit to tests. Out of 100000 bal
lots circulated, 100000 have been re-
turned with $4,000 signifying their
willingness to take the tests
I'VE now have enough votes to realize
that people want to take syphilis tests,
DR.. Bundensen said.

said he had been subject to irrational
spells since the death of his own
daughter eight years ago, led police

had obtained permission from her
mother, seriously i'll, to take Evelyn
to nearby grocery.

the Ambassador Bridge He was taken
into custody there.
Effect of Daughters Death.

dren. His wife told police he had
been erratic since the death, eight
years ago, of a daughter who would
have been Evelyn's age.
Yesterday afternoon, police said,
Jacobs called at the home of Vernon
R. Mack, designer for the Packard
Motor Car CO. After some conversa-
ton, he asked Evelyn to accompany
| him to a nearby grocery.
Police went to the bridge in response
| to report by bridge attendant
| that man whose automobile had
broken down was acting strangely.
The man was Jacobs. When asked
what he had done with Evelyn, he
said, II killed her"
Il Don't Know Why"
He then directed them to point
several miles from the Mack home,
There the officers found the body
hidden in a clump of weeds. Jacobs
SAID he had not attacked the girl.
He was sobbing Historically when
he reached police headquarters.
Il don't know why I did it," he
sobbed. II liked her. She was always
so laughing and happy. I was going
to take her to the grocery when We
got into my automobile I can't tell
why, but I couldn't stop. We kept
going and going
Before long we were out in the
country. I stopped the car at the
end Of Chicago avenue. Then I said
Now you wait here; I'll be right
back
When I returned to the car she
was waiting for me. I took the crank
handle. I hit her on the head with
the crank. I don't know why"

Rabies is Real Meance
Doctors Bulletin Saus.

The cry, MAD Dog" was once a
familiar signal of panic.
Nowadays medical men are becoming
alarmed because the general disap-
pearance of panic seems to be giving
place to dangerous indifference to the
real threat of rabies. Members of the
public health education committee of
the Minnesota State Medical associa-
ton call attention today to recent out
breaks of rabies in other parts of the
country and to reports all over the
world which show that rabies is not vet
conquered.
Wherever there are a considerable
number of stray dogs there is danger
Any dog known to have bitten anybody
should be watched and examined for
possible disease. If the dog is suffering
from rabies, the victim of the bite
should have prompt, thorough treat
ment.
According to figures provided by the
Rockefeller Foundation, rabies is in
creasing particularly in some Southern
states; but no areas where there may
be possible carriers of the disease should
be considered exempt.
Dogs that behave suspiciously should
be shut up and prevented, not only from
biting human beings, but from injecting
other dogs. The disease is known to
spread mostly through strays and elm
ination of stray dogs is therefore the
first important step in complete con-
troll of the disease. In case of a bite
by rabid dog, the sooner the Pasteur
treatment is started the better for the
victim.

SHRINkAGE IN
COTTON GARMENTS.

Cotton frocks and garments become
conspicuous with the arrival of the
good old summer time" And with it
comes the problem of garments shrink
ing. You may have heard the question
asked, why do cotton fabrics shrink
after they are worn?" During the
weaving and finishing, the cloth is
bound to stretch more or less, putting
the yarn and fibers under certain
amount of strain. The first time the
cloth goes to the laundry or is thor
oughly wet, it begins to spring back to
its natural size. Sometimes it takes
two or three Or four launderings to
spring back entirely.
Another question that you've wanted
to have cleared up may be, What does
the label "Pre-shrunk" as used, for in
stance, on shirts mean?" In the first
place the label e-Shrunk" is a very
indefinite one. And anyway, those
shirts probably had been -shrunk,
that is, the fabric had been through
some sort of shrinking process before it
was cut and made into shirts. The
trouble was, the fabric just hadn't
shrunk enough. One hopeful sign for
the future is that there is a movement
among manufacturers to label fabrics
with the percentage you may expect
them to shrink after you've laundered
them.

pearance of cleanliness, but rarely
achieves it.
"The object of cleaning eating
utensils should be not only
cleanliness but disinfection," says DR.
j. c. Cumming in the American Journal
of Public Health. ''The saliva-born in
fections, such as the pneumonias, tuber-
culosis, influenza, scarlet fever, measles,
etc., are responsible, directly and in
directly, for from Is to As per cent of
our mortality"
Many cities and towns have ordin-
anceS requiring the disinfection of
drinking glasses through proper dish
washing methods, but it takes constant
alertness on the part of the people
to discover which places observe these
regulations. During the busy summer
season there is tendency to become
careless. People generally must be in
terested in discovering the sanitary
places and refuse to patronize any who
fail to comply with the requirements
for decency and health
In travelling with children, it is wise
to carry paper cups and use them in
places whose sanitation methods can
not be known. A crusade to make
beverage glasses safe for the COM
munity may be undertaken by any
predetermined group. Public health
authorities do all they can to enforce
ordinances, but it takes an enlightened
public opinion, backing them, to bring
results most quickly.

WATCH THOSE
CEREAL PESTS.

Homegrown cereals must be given
just as much protection from insect
pests in warm weather as cereals bought
in packages at the store. In fact, ii
may be even more difficult to store
these products under household con-
ditions than those that have been
subjected to thorough sterilized treat
ment in a mill or factory and sealed in
alright packages. Cereal beetles or
weevils can live for long time on very
small quantities of dry cereal found in
cracks, corners, and crevices of flour
bins, pantries, and kitchen closets.
When the new lot of cereal comes in,
the eggs of these pests may already be
in the old containers ready to hatch
out into larvae.
So, it pays to clean out all cereal
receptacles thoroughly before new ma
terial is put in them, and also to go
over the pantry shelves carefully with a
stiff brush, soap and hot water to re-
move any old crumbs of cereal, flour, or
bread that may be lodged out of sight,
or any dust or lint which might harbor
insect eggs.

THE DRINKING VESSEL
A PUBLIC ENEMY.

Today it is quite common to give
loving cups of various shapes and sizes
as trophies, but originally the loving
cup was a communal drinking vessel,
passed from lip to lip to celebrate a
victory or cement of friendship.
Public health workers today are find
ing, not a silver cup, but drinking
glass containing ice cream soda or some
other popular drink, almost passing
from lip to lip. Of course there is a
gesture of washing the glasses after
each drinker, with varying technic, but
generally it consists of warm and
cold water rinsing which gives the ap-

TRAVEL TOGS
FOR CHILDREN.

Ideal clothes for travel are, first of
all, comfortable, especially for children.
And second, travel clothes should re-
sist soil or wrinkles. Pretty, light, crisp
clothes suitable for birthday parties
and Sunday school will probably not
keep their looks long in trailer or
train, or even in the family auto.
Comfortable clothes for any age are
soft and smooth-nothing stiff or
starchy about them. And they are
loose fitting-they don't bind or draw
at neckS or shoulders or waists. Com
Portable clothes also suit the weather
In hot weather, fabric that is not too
firmly woven or too thick is comfort
because it allows ventilation. So, for
little girls who are travelling, soft seer
suckers or cotton crepes or the new knit
fabrics that don't sag are good selec-
tons. And little boys will be comfort
able in those soft cotton-mesh or knit
suits with pull-over blouses and
trousers to match. Such fabrics are not
only comfortable but keep their looks
because they don't crease or crumble
They also wash easily and many of
them need no ironing. You simply
wash them out at night and in the
morning then are ready to put on.
Then, in cooler climates, sweaters and
skirts or sweaters and trousers are
comfortable and convenient outfits for
youngsters.
Fortunately for young travellers, many
of the styles this year omit collars and
cuffs. Collars and cuffs are hard to
pack without Wrinkling, and they are
often hot and uncomfortable to wear.
This years simple little round necks
and plain short sleeves give freedom and
comfort
AS for colors, of course every mother
knows that white or very light colors are
not happy selection for travel wear.
They soil too easily and show soil too
much. Soft cheerful shades and small
all-over prints are much more practical
and becoming.
