Would Assure Real
Estate Levy Payments

A proposal for state law to re.
quire bonds guaranteeing special as
sessments in real estate developments
was made this week by R. H. Smith
county auditor.
A study of delinquent tax lists
shows that the largest debts to the
county are due from development
companies who have failed to pay the
special levies for their improvements
Smith said.
The auditor said he would suggest
passage of a law to state Legislators
from Butler County in order to curb
further delinquencies.
"There should be some regulation
to require development companies to
post bonds guaranteeing their special
assessments" Smith stated. "In some
cases these delinquencies run as high
as several hundred dollars"

Free By Protecting
Freedom
(From Electrical Workers JournaD

Here is a principle which every
American might well paste into his
hat. AS long as any citizen is unsafe,
every citizen is unsafe. If man can
be separated from his civil rights be-
cause he has mole on his left cheek,
or is red-headed, short or tall, blonde
or brunette, or because of racial Pc
culiarity, no citizen has any civil
rights. In those countries that have
waged wholesale destruction and cruel
persecution against citizens, the first
group that were liquidated were labor
unions. The second were the Jews.
The third were the Catholics. In those
countries, justice is but a hollow name.
Even the minor courts, the traffic
courts, are filled with unfairness and
chicanery. Life is a nightmare. In
the field of civil rights, men fall or
rise together There can be no ex-
ception from this principle.

W.P.A. INVESTIGATION ASKED

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Sen-

TUBERCULOSIS BY
OCCUPATIONS
By LEVERETT ID. BRISTOL, M. ID.
Health Director
American Telephone and Telegraph

American Telephone and Telegraph
AS an enemy to be fought, tuber-
culosis may be said to be making it's
last stand among the industrially en-
ployed age groups. Our next steps
in winning the final battle against
this disease must lead US against it's
present strongholds in the adult
working population.
The present job of prevention and
control must deal more energetically
with adult tuberculosis. 1t is certain
that the more active attempt to find
early cases of tuberculosis among
working groups will meet with the
same success in controlling this dis
ease in industry as has case-fnding
in homes and schools.
While tuberculosis, speaking gen
orally, is not considered strictly an
occupational disease, it is the out
standing disease which occurs and at
tacks all occupational groups. There
is growing conviction among leading
authorities that at least in some in
stances tuberculosis may be partly oc-
cupational in nature, particularly in
industries and trades where condi-
tions may render workmen more liable
and directly dispose them to tuber-
culosiS.
In consideration of tuberculosis
by occupation, it should be stressed
that many related factors must be
given due recognition, such as age,
sex, race, social and economic status,
as well as housing and home location,
living and nutrition habits, hours and
types of work, and amount and use
of leisure time. Although recogniz-
ing all of the foregoing contributing
and interrelated factors, a brief ac-
count of tuberculosis by occupations
necessarily must be confined more or
less to types or classes of work or
workers. In 10 states selected for a
specific study by the National Tuber-
culosis Association, death rates from
tuberculosis of the respiratory system
were as follows:

Among unskilled workers, factory
and building construction laborers
walters; draymen, teamsters and mine
operatives showed the highest rates
While capacity apparently has di
rect relationship to tuberculosis in IN
dustry, all of the factors previousl!
mentioned must be considered before
concluding that a specific occupation
is responsible for tuberculosis.
In the warfare against tuberculosis
the best defense always will be ;

campaign is centered where 1T vii

Therell be a lot of braid trimming
used this spring, and this pretty
dress l672-B shows a particularly
smart and individual way of using it.
The bodice, with bosom-fullness
above very fiat diaphragm, is the
more becoming because braid is so
applied as to suggest the effect of a
bolero. And a row of braid accents
the saucy charm Of upped sleeves
that widen the shoulders.
The circular skirt, with a seam at
the front and the back only, is Slim
hipped and young looking. This
dress, smart for under-coat and

everybody between the sizes of IA

Don't Change
Birth Record
OF a Child
Often Considered
Backward When
Truth Hidden
By ANGELO PATRI.

"What does this slip mean, Miss
Curie?"
That is an admission slip for
Charlotte. She goes to the prepara-
tory group for the rest of this
term"
What does it mean? This new
group? Why can't Charlotte stay
where she is? She likes you very
much and she does not know this
new teacher. 1t isn't good for
child to change teachers in the
first month of the term. Just when
they are getting used to things.
You put her back. Yes?"
Il can't do that. You see we
couldn't get Charlotte to do the
work. She was such an infant.
She can't hold pencil, or sit still
or learn to read, or play the games.
She seemed so much younger than
these children. She seems to be
backward child"
Backward? YOU mean dumb?"
"Yes. She couldn't do the things
the other children do easily"
But she isn't dumb. Those chill
dren are six and Charlotte is only
four and half. She is big for her
age and smart, so thought she
could go to school and learn with
the others. She could, too, if you
would keep her. Do be nice and
keep her"
Charlotte is only four and a
half? The poor baby. And we have
been trying to make her keep up to
these others. It is a wonder that
she isn't sick in bed. How did
this happen anyway? Did you bring
her birth certif1cate?"
"Yes, I showed it to the clerk.
But first I changed the year. If
did wrong I'm sorry. I thought
she could just as we'll go to school.
My sisters child is in school and
she isn't six yet"
One of the silliest things a per-
son can do is to change a childs
record. His birth date was fixed
when he was born. It is impor-
tant for many reasons that this
date be accurate. When the World
War made service drafts necessary
there were more than q few mothers
who tried to have the dates of birth
OF their children changed because,
they said, they were wrong. They
had changed them to get the chill
dren into school earlier, or for some
other fancied advantage. The rec
ords had to stand. That is one
phase of the matter. The other
concerns the children's school prog
ress.
There is great span of growth
and experience between children
of four and a half and those of
six years. The six-year-old child
is ready for school discipline, learn
ing and adjustment. The four-year
or five-year-old child is not.
When the little child in the first
class fails he is listed as a back
ward child, held in the same grade,
or sent to coaching groups, pressed
to do what he is not ready to do,
and will not be able to do for a
year or so. This experience is
enough to frighten him and make
school distasteful to him forever.
Keep the records straight and give
the child all the time that is COM
ing to him. He needs it.

I it and let it stand a day or so before
using. In that way, provided Pups
or the baby doesn't fall in, it can
be conditioned and rendered fit for
gold and tropical fish.
AS to changing water, don't. Fish
prefer it "as is," and, after all,
they're the first to be considered
in the matter. Wrap the sides of
the aquarium in tissue paper for
several days if the water becomes
too green for decorative value. When
the liquid seems excessively cloudy
the fish are probably being overfed.
What food isn't being used is drop
ping to the bottom and polluting
the water.
In case kitty falls in and the
water whats left of it, must be
changed, after all the trouble it took
to get the right kind in, use a
siphon. That's a little rubber hose
we'll known by gasoline thieves and
high school chemistry students. One
end goes in the aquarium which is
to be emptied (part way emptied
any way, and the other, lower
down, in the object to be filled. Draw
a deep breath through the tube to
start the flow and then let go
quickly or some onell get mouth
full of used fish water
Few people are likely to keep an
extra supply of water standing
around the house, just in case. But
when the emergency does arrive and
the bowl must be changed or filled
at once, do it gradually. If fish
must come out for the time being,
or do so of their own accord, don t
pour them back home, but dip them
back, gently. It's bad enough get
ting a dose Of chlorine without being
pushed around.
