Better Care:
CLEARING HOUSE
FOR CRIPPLED
CHILDREN URGED
Mrs. Drake Would Make
Reports Mandatory

A comprehensive plan for taxing
care of Washington's crippled chill
dren was advanced today by Mrs.
Beulah Jones Drake, principal OF
one of the two schools in the city
for crippled children.
The principal of Langdon
School first suggests that to get at
the root Of the problem, a clear
ing house should formed to which
eli cases should be reported. She
also would make report OF con-
genital defects mandatory on a
chiId's birth certificate.
FOR SPECIAL SCHOOLS
Mrs. Drake advocates special
public schools in which children
physically unable to attend the
regular sessions would get the
identical training of normal chill
dren, while other less handicapped
would receive psysiotherapy treat
ments.
Home instruction" Mrs. Drake
says, Should be only a final re-
sort" She regards this method
of education as not only the most
inadequate, but the most expensive
In the long run.
For children crippled by spinal
injuries, Mrs. Drake would have
boarding schools operated by the
city where progressive treatment
Of their ailments would go along
with their education.
An immediate increase in the
transportation facilities for Grip
pied children Of the city was also
urged by Mrs. Drake.
CHORUS GROWS
In the meantime, the chorus in
behalf Of WaShington's 500 neg
lected young cripples swelled anew;
From the Right Rev. Edward
Joseph Flanagan, director OF Boys
Town at Omaha came this oh
servation:
There is So mucn naClO1ld4
and international furore in Wash
ington that you have forgotten
the plight of your own children:
The helpless child can't cry loud
enough to be heard"
DR.. Walter Clarke, executive
director Of the American Social
Hygiene Association, speaking
here yesterday said:
by periodic examination Of
children excluded from school
because of veneral disease, al.
lowing them to return to school
when reasonable criteria Of cure
are established by the attending
physician, no child loses his edu-
cational opportunities through
neglect or oversight"

Used to Treat
Rheumatism
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-The use of
ir-conditioning as new treatment
for rheumatism was announced to-
day.
The report was made by Albert
G. Young, M. D., of Corey Hill Hos
pital. Brookline, Mass, to the
American Society of Refrigerating
Engineers. He said that in two
years use at the hospital of air.
conditioning had prevented heart
trouble in rheumatic fever.
This form of rheumatism attacks
children principally and is credited
with 40 per cent death rate. The
fatalities are not immediate, but re-
suit several years later from hearts
going bad because of the rheu-
matiSm.
About the only treatment, DR..
Young said, has been rest in bed
and warm, dry climate. Air-condi-
tioning produces this climate artifi-
cially in the hospital.
The first attack of rheumatic
fever, DR.. Young explained, seldom
causes irreparable heart damage.
The great danger comes with re-
currencies. The air-conditioning,
he said, has made it possible to
ferestall these relapsel.

Thorpe Sees Political
Control Threat 10
u. ). Professions
Pharmaceutical Group
Told Business Curb
Is Only First Step

Political control of the professions
will follow political control of busi-
ness and industry. Merle Thorpe,
editor of Nations Business, today
told the semi-annual board meeting
OF the American Pharmaceutical
Manufacturers Association here.
In Washington, he said, "a more
sobby case" is being made for "Gov-
ernment dentistry and medicine
than was ever made for power and
light"
Professional men who support
public ownership and those indiffer-
ent live in q fools paradise if they
think politics will stop with taking
over trade and industry; it will ex-
tend to the professions" he said.
Mr.. Thorpes speech before the
200 members of the association came
at the end of the morning session
OF the second day of the conference.
He declared Secretary of Labor
Perkins "shamed" the United States
when she said this country was rs
years behind Germany in social in
surance. He then asked why there
was such continuous immigration
movement to our shores.
Through series OF questions.
which he answered himself, Mr..
Thorpe based his points on high
administrative costs, increased sick
periods, shorter life expectation and
slow medical development. He said
advocates OF state medicine in this
country should consider these points
and give their answers.
Such q course of cross -examina-
tion.' he said. might lead to a
similar investigation of claims. for
