DEPARTMENT FIGHTS
TUBERCULOSIS IN
LORAIN COUNTY
The outstanding decutlon to make
from the two-day Tuberculosis Clinic
held tn Elyria end Oberlin, Tuesday
and Wednesday, ia that there are
ceeee of unrecognised -Tuberculosis
In Lorain County. There were 57 applicants examined by Dr. E. P. Edwards and Dr. J. V. Pace, Diagnosticians for the Dispensary service of
Cleveland. Nine were found positive
tor tuberculosis, and 20, while not
given a positive diagnosis, were regarded as suspects. All of these cases
need the best care and oversight the
community can afford. At Oberlin,
Wednesday, 33 cases were examined,
7 of whom were positive and 13 suspects. '
Lorain County is fortunate In having an active local health department
as are the cities also. The Health
Commissioners are serving the physicians and the patients, and through
them the community In organising
such a clio|c and In supervising and
teaching these individuals who are Infected and exposed.
There are many persons who have
tuberculosis who are not amenable to
treatment In the home. Institutional
care should be provided for such. The
value of sanatorium care Is not alone
to the Individual, but to every one In
the community. For the more than
40,000 cases of tuberculosis In Ohio,
there are now less than 3,000 beds
which provide Institutional care.
At a called meeting of the Lorain
County Medical Society, Tuesday evening, Dr. R. O. Leland told the Society
of the aim and program of tbe tuberculosis Bureau in holding Clinics. He
also pointed out the need ot more ef-
fcclent hospital service.
Dr. BL P. Edwards discussed the
main problems in the diagnosis of
tuberculosis and outlined the essentials ot treatment. He said that rest
Is the one real essential in the cure
of tuberculosis everything else being
secondary to that one fundamental.

ONLY TWO-THIRDS
OF HOMES ELECTRIFIED
Only 41.8 per cent ot Lorain county's
homes, stores and factories are electrified.
This is shown m a survey Just completed by Electrical World and made
public by the Ohio Committee on Public Utility Information.
The survey discloses:
THAT only 8,370 of Lorain county's 20,000 homes are using electricity.
THAT 1,680 of the county's 3,620
stores, hotels, etc., are electrified.
THAT   there   are  990   Industrial
planta in the county and that only
220  of  these   consume  electrical
energy for power purposes.
"According  to   the  survey,   486,960
of the  1,136,200 homes  in the state,
77,460 of the state's 179,910 stores and
hotels,  and  26,360 of the  state's  Industrial plants are possible of future
electrification,"  says   the   Ohio  Committee.
"In other words, only 67.2 per cent
of the homes, 66.9 per cent of the
stores and hotels, and 45.4 per cent
of the factories in the state are electrified."
"The figures Indicate the tremendous amount ot new capital that is
required by the electric light and
power Industry of the state in order
to serve these potential customers
more than a half million in number—
with electricity for light and power
which they are demanding. 'Superpower cones are being established,
linking together by high tension trans
mission lines the larger central generating stations ot tbe state, while virtually all of tha generating, plant* are
extending th«fr power lines Into surrounding villages and rural territory."

STATE FAIR ENTRIES
EXCEED EXPECTATION
'Entries for the 1923 Ohio State
Fair live stock competition substantiate the statement that Director of
Agriculture Chas. V. Truax, and Sate
Fair Manager O. R. Lewis mads sometime age, that they intended to stage
the largest exhibits in the history ot
the Fair at the coming show. Every
department Is well filled with excellent animals and each has some particular feature that is worthy of notice,
last year at the solicitation of breed-
will be shown—Perchetons, Bellglans,
and Clydsdales. The latter was added
last year at the solicitation of breel-
ers who were Interested In these
Scotch Drafters, and so hearty was
the response,. that place was. again,
made in {be premium (list tor them.
Entries "are well up to standard' in the
"regular classification while the two
new offerings, (commercial and police
horses), are replete with many high-
class animals.
The entire cattle department totals
almost 10% higher than heretofore.
Breeds showing increases are, Shorthorns, Aberdeen Angus, Hereford,
Polled Shorhorns, Guernseys, Ayr-
shires .and Brown Swiss. Two of
these, Guernseys and Shorthorns, set
a new mark for Columbus competition.
The management shows eight breeds
ot swine, and out of these there are
only two that have fallen below previous marks. A drive has been made
this year to Increase the size ot this
department. Ohio ranked third in the
United States in this competition for
several years, the lowest standing of
any phase of Fair activities.
The one department in which Ohio
leads the world Is Sheep, and this
year's exhibition is a culmination of
several years of record breaking performances. Over 2,000 animals will
be shown in the Judging ring the week
ot August 27, a mark that Is almost
twice that of any other sheep show
over held. Outstanding among the
fourteen breeds, is the Spanish Merino. Half of the number of this sheep
In the United States are within the
confines of Ohio. It Is, therefore, Interesting to note that the world's largest breeder of Merino Sheep has entered a flock for the coming competition. This is Mr. J. Blamer ot Johns
town, Ohio, who at present has t'ou.
flocks touring the country.

NO IMPLICATION THAT TOO MUCH
MONEY IS SPENT BUT CASE
MUST BE MADE WITH TAXPAYER, 8AY3 RIEGEL.
That It Is necossary for school authorities to satisfy the public that the
prensont educational system of the
state ts giving adequate returns for
the money that Is now being Invested
In education before any general attempt is made to obtain more funds
by increased taxation is the conclusion Just announced by Director of
Education Vernon M. Rlegel. This
does not Imply that too much money
is being spent on education, In the
judgment of Director Rlegel, but does
mean that an effort must ty) marie to
present tangible evidence to the taxpayer that will be conclusive on the
question of fir an re.
"An educational system can be pronounced to be adequate only when
It brings ail Individuals In contact with
such Influences and experiences as
will enable them to live up to their
possibilities and to do that work which
they are by nature best equipped to
do," says the state school head. "That
this may be accomplished it may be
necessary to spend more on education
than we are now spending but, until
we are able to measure the results ot
the financial Investment in education,
we shall not be able to determine how
much more money is needed, if any.
No brief can be submitted to the pub-
Vc until proper scientific surveys and
Investigations have been made, and
logical conclusions deduced."
It is pointed out that a big saving
in the cost of elementary education
might be made by a better plan ot
classlflcatlno of pupils, by a more
flexible system of promotions, by a
proper evaluation, selection, and adaption ot subject matter, and by teacher
improvement. A thorough study ot
existing conditions and a careful appraisal of results Is held to be especially appropriate .lust now.
Asserting that the school buildings
built in Ohio during the last ten years
or more have cost on the average
twenty-live per cent more than they
should have, Director Rlegel places
the blame upon "an inflexible and antiquated building code, ornamentation,
waste space, and Improper utilization
of space."
The State director believes that local tux levies will have to be depended
upon for the greater part of school revenues, but that the county and state
should be the units for providing educational equalization funds.
WORLD WAR VETS
ENTITLED Tl TUITION
About two years ago the Ohio general assembly enacted a law. known as
the Jones act. which provides that an
honorably discharged soldier, sailor,
nurse of marine who served In the
World War and had lived In the state
for at least a year, shall not be required to pay any tuition or matriculation fee ut any school, college or
university receiving state funds in Its
support.
Congressamn Davey has received
complaints from several ex-service
men who have applied for admission
to such Institutions and have been required to pay the matriculation fee,
and he Is making an Investigation.
In corresponding with Dr. W. O.
Thompson, president of the Ohio State
University, he Informed Mr. Davey
that the language of the law Is not
clear as to whether lt applies only to
bonaflde citizens of the State of Ohio
or to ex-service men from other states
as well.
Mr. Jones, who Introduced tho mea
sure, has stated that he had In mind
to make provision for soldiers who
had enlisted or were drafted from
Ohio, and the Ohio State University
and other state-supported institutions
Ii; Ohio have Interpreted the statute
to apply only to persons who were bonaflde citizens of Ohio at the time they
eniisted and had lived in the state for
a| least one year before the law went
Id to effect.

"$500,000,000 Is the startling sum,
according to federal authorities, which
Is lost annually by the American public In worthless securities," stated
Postmaster Coburn today. "Many of
these securities, sold by high pressure
salesmen, represent new enterprises
or which 87 out of 100 failed, according
to records covering a 15 year period."
"The Chief reason for much of the
foregoing loss Is the desire by the investor for an abnormal return. An
Investor should always bear In mind
that the promise of a high interest
rate indicated risk."
The Postmaster declared that the
safest and most simple way to conserve your principal Is to Invest in
Treasury Saving Certificates, which
have behind them the entire resources
of the United States Government
These certificates, if held Ave years
will net the buyer 4% compounded
semi-annually free from all state and
local taxes, (except estate and Inheritance taxes), and the normal federal
Income tax. At the local post ofllce
$S20 will buy a $1,000 certificate. $82

The sign reading "2 1-2 miles to
Amherst, The Sandstone Center of
the World", wnlch was erected at
Whlskeyvllle some time ago by the
Amherst Business Mens' Association,
l.as been defaced, according to reports.
The first part of Ihe sign reads correctly, but the "Sundstone Center of
the World" has been blotted out with
black paint, which of course does not
make the meaning of the sign complete as intended when It wus erected.
The black paint was "smeared" on,
too, Instead of put on In u becoming
manner, which speuks ill of the person
or persons who committed the deed
end might add to the charge of defacing.
Thn business men arranged to have
the sign made, paid cash for the making, and errecting it for the purpose
of aiding motorists, only to have a person, or persons deface lt. It sure is
discouraging to go to this trouble and
expense and then huve someone commit such a degrading trick.
Defacing, it seems, is a thing everybody should do every chance they get
becuuse it will aid them In becoming
great and amounting to something In
this world. We eurnestly hope that
the person or persons who did the de-
facing, achieve greutness through the
satisfaction of destroying something
ond that they will be well repaid for
their action.
Then on the other hand, defacing is
u child's trick. Children do things not
thinking ut the time whut harm is being done. Perhaps the sign was defaced   by  children?    Who  knows?
"The Sundstone Center of the
World" cun bo painted over on signs,
but the spirit In which it is used can
i.ever be painted over.
Let us suy ugain, that we hope that
be, she or those, who so delight in
painting uchieve the greutness they
so desire, and become one of the shining lights in the realm of art. Let hw,
she, or those, lu telling the world
where they got their sturt bo sure to
mention their first works, thut ot blotting off with black paint six words at
