PLANS PROCEED
FOR CRIPPLED
CHILDREN'S AID
HOSPITAL AND SCHOOL
PROJECT IS SCHEDULED
FOR CORNERSTONE LAYING
CEREMONY IN JULY

Activity along the South Flor
ida Crippled Children's Hospital
and School front, offers en-
couragement and grounds for
hope to children whose future
lives are at stake, according to
advice received today.
Laying Of the foundation for
the first unit of the hospital
school to be built this summer in
Shenley Park, a few blocks di-
rectly west of the Biltmore Hotel,
tentatively has been set for the
first week in July.
A South Florida branch of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis was organized last
night with A. J. (Jack) Cleary as
permanent chairman; Rescue
Brunstetter, vice chairman; DR..
"A. H. Weiland, secretary, and E.
C. Romfh. treasurer.
DR.. Weiland, surgeon for the
Florida Crippled Children's Com
mission and Vice President of
both the South Florida Crippled
Children's Society and the hos
pital corporation, left Monday
for New York to confer with of
ficials of the National Founda-
ton regarding details of estab-
lishment here of a research unit
of the foundation, to study the
cause and control of infantile
paralysis.
County units are the general
plan of organization, but since
crippled children's work is well
organized in the South Florida
district, permission for 10
county unit organization was
gEaHted4s $3.50 ss-szsss-s-
A meeting of prominent citi-
zens will be called next week for
the purpose of forming a plan
ming committee to devise ways
and means of meeting an emer-
gency which exists due to three
factors which have a bearing on
the future of the hospital-school:
/. Possibility of a major outbreak
of infantile paralysis during the
coming summer was indicated
last Thursday by the United
States Public Health Service; 2.
Failure of the proposed school
bonds in Dade County in the
May 18th election, and; 8. APP
parent failure of citizens of Dade
and other counties of the South
Florida district to respond in suf-
ficient numbers to the appeal for
dollar memberships in the hos
pital-school.
It was decided, however. to
proceed with the building as
soon as architects drawings are
completed.

IF. D. R. To Sign Bill This
Week, Asks Necessary
Fund For Draft
16,50o,Ooo AFFECTED
BY S e H. SHORT

BY JOSEPH H. SHORT
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA.
the first time
in United States history, a
peace-time draft bill won fl
nal approval of Congress to-
day and the Presidents sig
nature, expected early next
week, was the last remaining
step necessary to start the
machinery for raising a con-
script army of 100000 men.
The revised bill, requiring
16,500,000 men aged Fl to IS,
inclusive, to register for pos
sible service, went through
both houses by margins of al
most two to one today, thus
demonstrating how sharply
Hitler's onslaughts abroad
have reversed the traditional
congressional aversion to the
peace-time ,conscription.
The millions. of Americas
young manhood will be reg
istered by some local 100000
election officials on a day to
be set by the President, per-
haps early in October. In
mid-November the first batch
Of $4,000 draftees are due to
be called to the colors. Under
the War departments plans,
subsequent calls would build
up the army to 100000 early
in 1911 and to 100000 by the
spring of 1911.
The President, anticipat-
ing Congress- action, dis
patched a request to Speak
er Bankhead for an addition
al $1,733,886,976 for the de-
tense program, including 1884,
1926, 108 to start the draft.
Obviously prepared before
congress finished it's job,
this proposed appropriation
would speed the CONSUMPTION
processes. Although registra-
ton may take place when the
President has signed and fix
