The opening of the fall school term focuses attention on the vide spread results of Public Works ad- ministra ton assistance in expand- ing Connecticut's school program, Colonel N. E. Gilmore, regional PwA director, said today in making public an analysis of this states share in past and current PWA fi- nanced school construction. Ad- mmistrator Harold L, Ickes has made schools favored projects ever since 1883.
 40 Schools Aided
 To date, 10 schools and school additions have been started in the state with PWA aid, providing SS2 classrooms seating 1885 pupils at cost of $6,3l7,000. Of these, S6 have been completed, 4 of them since the opening of the fall term last year. the report showed. Com pletion of the remainder is sched- uled in nearly all cases for dates that will permit use of the buildings in this school year.
 In the current fast moving pro- gram, additional PWA money has been allotted for iS other schools and additions to be constructed in this state at a cost of 9l0.4i0.000. Approval of additional allotments for school purposes Is being speeded

SO that the applicants may comply with provisions of the 1898 PWA Recovery act that construction must be under way by the end of the year.
 Many millions of dollars flowing into this expansion of the school system have found their way into the pay envelopes of the school children's fathers, employed directly in the building projects themselves and--in more than twice that num- ber-in the production of building materials required,

 Of the 13,749 Federal pro- jects of the PWA programs from 1888 through 1887, 42G6, or S,see. were for educational buildings con- structed with the aid of PWA grants of $S92. 2.75l, ,272 and loans of $a9, ,eeS. .445. Tn the current program, the percentage of money going for school purposes Is even higher, the analysis showed. The upshot Is that PWA aid has made possible in the nation the construction of nearly 5000 new or improved and enlarged schools, including second ary and colleges and universities, offering 44.200 classrooms to l,7eo.. 900 students, according to the aa. aiysis.

RESEARCH SHIP, NON MAeNET|C,
 TO AD SCIENCE
Weed, Bronze, AlmErilnHnl
 Used to Facilitate Studies

Dartmouth. Eng, Sept f3-(uP)-- Non-maanettc razor blades will be used by members of the crew when they set sail aboard the two-mast- ed, 770-ton brigantine Research, being built here to continue the international work of investigation performed by the Carnegie, operated by the Carnegie Institution of | Washington.
 Nou-magnettc typewriters, pack ing case nails, cutlery, tools, tin food containers and cooking utensils will be used, as the principal pur- !, pose of the vessel is to aid investt- gation of the earth's magnetic field and atmospheric electricity. | Principal problem of the builders, Philip and Son, Ltd, has been to eliminate magnetic metals from the contraction. Much research work had to be done to reduce the amount of steel in the Diesel en- zines. A bronze alloy was discovr- d which was suitable, but the crankshaft had to be of steel. How ever, special non-magnetic war; iety was produced for this part of the engines.
 | Hull of Wood The hull of the ship is of teak blanks on brass frames. The keel. stem and stern posts also are of teak, with false keel of Canadian rock elm. Anchors and cables are of aluminium bronze, as is all the wire for the rigging.
 She will nave full sail area of about 12,00o square feet, and be fitted with l60 h.p. Diesel engine, driving 8 two-bladed feathering propeller. Her speed will be 6h knots, with a capacity for IA tons of Diesel oil, which will give her a range of 5000 miles.
 Deer 20 special scientific instru- ments will be carried. Equipment will include special laboratories for magnetic work, atmospheric electric research, meteorology and oceano- graphy.
 There will be four civilian scien- tists among the ships complement, as well as six officers and a petty officers and men.
 Construction of the Research was authorized over three years ago and she is being built at cost of about $914, 900 by the Admiralty, although her functions will be civilized and scientific.
 | Carnegie Gives Aid
 The Carnegie institution has lent the builders personnel and the specifications of the Carnegie, which vsls burned at Samoa about nine years ago.
 The Research probably will be launched in February, 1889, and be ready for her first cruise in Octo- Der. She will visit the Carneigie Institution at Washington and, af- ter calls at various South American ports, will start her investigation work in the South Atlantic, between Tristan da Cunha and Capetown.
 Then the ship will make 6 com- plete circuit of the Indian Ocean, probably calling at Perth, Cocos Island, Colombo, Seychelles, Mau- ritius and Durban, where she is scheduled to arrive about Novem- Der, 1o40.

Irnmunization Brings
 Decline In Diphtheria
Connecticut Seeks to Preserve Gains Made in Fighting Disease; Parents Asked to Cooperate With Officials


 The old picture of children dying from diphtheria may be revived if parents neglect to have their chil- dren immunized against this dis ease, warned the State Department of Health in its weekly bulletin to- day.
 Decline In State Immunization procedures against diphtheria carried out In the past have resulted in the incidence of the disease dropping in Connecticut from 3,754 reported cases in 1920 to only 96 cases in 1886, but for some reason the number jumped to 264 cases in 1887, an increase of 175 per- cent, the bulletin stated. Not only was this an increase over the diph- theria cases reported the preceding year. but 1t represented the largest number of cases reported any year since 1892. For the first eight months of 1888 a total of 147 cases of dphtheria have been reported, as compared to 155 cases during the same period h lS3I,
 What explanation can be given for this increased incidence of diph- theria? Is it that we are becoming lax in utilizing immunization pro- cedures2 We know that the use of diphtheria toxoid is effective in pre- venting diphtheria. Then why fail to use 1t?
 rfn.a hosk 4i,,,a to i,,.x,,,y,,iva is i,, Infancy, preferably between the ages of six months and one year. This should be followed by @ Shick test to ascertain the presence of im- munity. Also, repeating the Shick test at later dates will help main- tain the immunity at protective level. Today, toxoid is used in the two-dose method in order to sim- plify the administration for the phy- sician. Many now feel that the three dose method is preferable as It results in c higher and more last Ing immunity. Tn either case, im- munity is being conferred and may then be prolonged by repeated Shick tests as a child ages,
 Laxity
 With this knowledge available why should our incidence of diph- theria increase? There is possibly only one explanation and this is laxity on our part. Therefore, par ents--see that all your children are immunized. Physicians--insist that all children among your patients be immunized. Health Officers-keep your public actively interested in the prevention of diphtheria. Then and only then, may diptheria prove not to be our nemesis, and we may es- cape visions of helpless children, caught in the grip of merciless dis ease,

RADIO RESPONSE TERRIFIC

Poetry clinched 1t. Struck one day on a train journey by the beauty of the countryside of his adopted state, O'Daniel set pencil to paper and wrote the words and music of Beautiful Texas" Like this: ITO beautiful, beautiful Texas,
 Where the beautiful bluebonnets
 nets grow
 ITO beautiful, beautiful Texas,
 "The most beautiful place that ]
 know"
 The response was terrific, and still is, O,Daniel having found his forte, wrote flour orders with one hand, while turning out with the other such songs as Your Own Sweet Darling Wife," Put Me Tn Your Pocket" That City for Shut Ins," and "on to Victory, Mir Roosevelt"
 Radio listeners loved them. Grad ually as ODaniel became more and more familiar to a larger radio au- dience, he became also friend and philosopher.
 BUILDS
 FORT WORTH
 In 1883 the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce chose O'Daniel as its president. The year marked the bottom of the depression, but ct its end, O'Daniel was able to chalk ur 4a8 new business enterprises, in- cluding 30 manufacturing plants foE his town, He helped get e $4, ,250, ,00t Public Health hospital for the towY! by obtaining a gift of t402 acres oi land for site. He helped put ovel the $S,000, 900 bond issue on which the present educational system oi the town Is based. He named the first local MIRA committee. In short he did more for hts city as head of the Chamber of Commerce thar many a mayor is able to accomplish for his community in several terms
 O'Daniel prospered personally as well. He bought and built up ( 300-acre ranch 20 miles out from Fort Worth. In ls3S he cut loose from his flour connections and or. ganized his own distributing firm His flour sacks bore one of hts poems descriptive of his product: Tt tickles your feet, it tickles your
 tongue,
 Where you 90 its praises are PLEASE PASS THE BISCUITS
 PAPPYl"

had planned for them even when he was himself 0 mere boy.
 When the war boom collapsed, the Independent Mills collapsed with it., but at the time of the col- lapse, O'Daniel had already begun working for another flour mill in Kansas City. Expansion of this business led the O'Daniels to move to New orleans, from which the large export business was conducted. SALES GENIUS
 BECOMES EVIDENT
 But again oDanieI moved on to larger fields. Offered a job as sales manager for the Burrus Mill and Elevator in Fort Worth, O'Daniel took 1t up, and in 1925 there moved to Texas the family that was to become the states first family. It was about this time that O'Daniel dropped the name Wilbert, which he never liked, and became w. Lee O'Daniel.
 As sales head, his genius came to the fore, and before long sales of his flour were up 25o per cent. Then came the idea which led to the un- suspected goal of politics. A group of jobless musicians came to O'Dan- iel with an idea for @ radio program advertising his flour. The idea was to intersperse hillbilly and other favored sentimental songs with blurbs about his flour, which O'Dan- iel would write personally. People liked 1t, and by 1880 the program was @ Texas fixture.
 It was not until 1882. when the announcer for the flour program had to relinquish duties, that O'Daniel personally took to the air, announcing his own program. He mixed homespun philosophy into the batter of his biscuit advertising, and soon the letters began to pour in on the folksiest of all folksy an- nouncerS.

ROOSEVELT ASKS
FUNDS FOR F. B. |.
Recommends $4,000 for
Salaries and Expenses
to Meet Deficit.

President Roosevelt today trans
mitted to Speaker Bankhead supple
mental estimates of appropriations
amounting to $1Os,000 approved by the
Budget Bureau for salaries and ex-
penses Of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation.
This recommendation will receive
prompt attention from the Appropri-
ations Committee, which is now con-
sidering supplemental and deficiency
items.
D. w. Bell, acting director of the
Budget Bureau. explained that 5000
900 was appropriated for salaries and
expenses of the F. B. I. for the fiscal
year 1898, The Department of Justice,
however, advises there is an estimated
deficit In this appropriation of $l73,-
600. which has arisen wholly through
unforeseen expenditures in connection
with the Ross, Levine and Fried kid
mapping cases and other important
criminal investigations, in addition to
the regular work of the bureau.
He emphasized that this sum is alb
solutely necessary to carry the activi-
ties Of the bureau through the re-
mainder of this fiscal year. Other
wise. he said. the service will be seri-
ously crippled and personnel will have
to be drastically curtailed.
However, as the appropriation for
the F. B. I. for the fiscal year 1899,
amounting to $6,043,2 200, contains a
provision that not more than SOS 900
OF this amount shall be Immediately
available, supplemental appropria-
ton OF only 100000 will be required
to meet the estimated deficit for 1898.

for Mr.. Barclays appearance
THE entire board must be investi-
gated to determine whether or not it's
carrying out the intentions of the
Wagner Act, and to determine whether
or not it has infringed on the rights
OF majority groups, including labor
groups" Mr.. Barclay said.
