ILLINOIS OFFERS ITS AID Declared That Babies' Sore Eyes, a Disease Known to Be Preventable ' and Curable, Is Responsible for Half Cases of Blindness. Springfield,--A call7 to save the eyes of the 400 babies annually threatened with blindness was heard at the meet­ ing of the Illinois Society for the Pre­ vention of Blindness at Chicago the other day. The plans of the society were out­ lined by the new secretary, Miss Carolyn C. Van Blarcom, formerly sec­ retary of the New York and national committees for the prevention of blindness. Dr. John A. Robison, chairman of the state board of health, read a paper prepared by Dr. C. St. Clair Drake, secretary of the boards "The first effect of the society/' said Miss Van Blarcom, "will be to dimin­ ish that saddest of all calamities, un­ necessary blindness occurring during the first two or three weeks of life. Babies' sore eyes, a disease known to be preventable and curable, is respons­ ible for half of the blindness among the children in the kindergarten sec­ tion of the Btate school for the blind at Jacksonville. "It is important that it be under­ stood that babies' sore eyes is caused by any one of several germs--for ex­ ample, germs that cause pneumonia or boils--and a case of babies' sore eyes is in no sense any stigma upon the parents. "The law makes it compulsory in Illinois for any person having knowl­ edge of an inflammatory condition of a baby's eyes in the first two weeks of its life to report the case to the flocal health official. "It also compels the physician or midwife to recommend that the eyes be washed with a solution of nitrate of silver. The society wants to make it its business to see that the law is enforced; that knowledge concerning the dangers of babies' sore eyss is disseminated, and that cases reported are cared for." Considers Road Wages. A delegation from Chicago rep­ resenting a number of labor unions waited upon Governor Dunne and asked that there be Incorporated 1b the specifications for bids for work on state aid roads the provision that the contractors must pay the wages prevailing in the locality in which the road is being built. Governor Dunne referred the committee to the state highway commission, and that body will secure an opinion from Attorney General Lucey as to whether such a provision would be legal before taking any action on the request. The delegation was composed of Sam P. Luzzo, financial secretary of the International Hodcarriers, Build­ ing and Common Laborers' union No. 1; F. A. Schlif, representing the Cement Workers' local No. 76; Joseph V. Moreschi, president of the Interna­ tional Hodcarriers and Building Labor­ ers' executive council of Chicago; Pe- tef S. Shaughnessy, president of the Bricklayers and Stone Masons' union No. 21 of Illinois; Matt Keefe, repre­ senting the Street Paving Engineers' local No. 464; Christ Hede, president and business agent of the Cement Fin­ ishers' union No. 502, and John A. Mc- Garry, representing the Street Pavers' Contract association. Ganpe Wardens Qualify.

Farmers of Illinois wtU eo long- er be preyed upon by interests who have heretofore been able to prof­ it by the farmers' lack of organization. This was the message brought from Peoria by S. E. Prather, secretary of the Sangamon County Farmers' asso­ ciation and first vice-president of the Illinois State Feeders Aha Shippers' association. Mr. Prather was the running mate of John G. Imboden of Decatur tor president and withdrew in the latter's favor when n tie vote was announced- at the Peoria meeting. Charles A. Lowery, secretary of the state live stock commission, was made a member of the railroad com­ mittee, and W. C. McGavic of Mount Pulaski was named on the market committee. Peoria #as selected as the place for the annual meeting the third Thurs­ day in January, 1917. Three questions to be studied by the executive committee, of which Mr. Prather is a member by virtue of his office, and which affect the welfare of the farmers of the state, are: The stamping out of hog cholera. The adjustment of reported in­ justices resulting from the slaughter of suspected stock at stock yards. The securing of better switching service between Blue Island and the Chicago stock yards. Complaint was entered at the Peo­ ria meeting that shippers are being subjected to unjust losses-, at stoclf yards because of conditions which ex­ ist Incident to the slaughter of stock suspected of disease. When live stock is under suspicion of being diseased, and is refused admission in the usual way to slaughter houses, brokers buy the stock at reduced prices, it is said, and profit handsomely since most of the animals are pronounced good for food by federal Inspectors after slaughter. It is the purpose of the state asso­ ciation to see that? shippers are rot de­ prived of the full price for their stock when the stock proves to be hoalthy and without taint. Farmers at the Peoria meeting also complained that the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad company is giving poor satisfaction in switching stock from Blue Island into tho Chi­ cago stock yards. The road is allowed three hourB to make the switch by the state public utilities commission. That an hour and a half is sufficient time for the work Is the contention of the state shippers' association which will bring the matter to the attention of the state commission in the near fu­ ture. Lieut. Col. Ryman Resigns. The resignation of Claude E. Ryman of Effingham as lieutenant colonel of the Fourth Infantry, Illinois National Guard, was received by Adjutant Gen­ eral Dickson, who issued an order ac­ cepting the same and placing Ryman on the retired list with the rank of colonel.

Inmates, of the Soldiers' Orphans' home at Normal, which recently was made a general orphan asylum for the state, are to receive in­ struction hereafter from student-teach- ers of Illinois State Normal university. An agreement has been reached be­ tween the university heads and the state board of administration whereby 16 student-teachers, under the direc­ tion of a man superintendent and a woman principal, will assume the edu­ cation of 500 or more orphans. In addition to the regular studies the pupils will be given instruction in domestic science, household arts, agri­ culture and all suitable vocational training. In addition the student- teachers will take charge of the amusement, gymnasium and play­ ground work of the orphans. The present teachers at the asylum are civil service employees. Some ar­ rangements will have to be made for them. "This is not like getting your hair cut by student barbers," said Fred Kern, president of the state board of administration. "The people of De- Kalb consider themselves fortunate be­ cause their children receive Instruc­ tion from the students at DeKalb normal." Auto Speeders' New Foe. Speeding in automobiles on the pub­ lic highways of the state was taken up by the state highway commission and a resolution adopted warning all auto- mnbilists that any offenders whose au­ tomobile numbers are obtained by the commission will be prosecuted by that body. The commission asks any citizens who detect anyone running a machine at a dangerous rate of speed or rac­ ing with automobiles or any other class of vehicles, to take the r umbve. of the machine and the state where li­ censed. and to report the same to the state highway commission at Spring­ field, giving the time and place of the violation to the law and names of any witnesses. Restrictions Removed. For the first time since November 11, 1914, all restrictions on the move­ ment of cattle in Illinois has been re­ moved.

COMMITS DEED AT CHICAGO Nothing Found by Police to Indicate 8uicfde Compact--Shot Once Before --Believed His Case Was Hopeless --Wrote Two betters. Chicago. April 3.--Edward P. Cum- icings, superintendent off schools of Lansing, Mich., shot himself to death in the Stratford hotel here. At prac­ tically the same time Dr. Herbert Cummings, his brother, swallowed poison in Grahd Haven, Mich. Nothing has been found to Indicate a suicide compact. Police and rela­ tives believe neither brother knew of the other's act. Doctor Cummings Is still alive, but his condition makes discussion of the death of his brother impossible. \ E. P. Cummings, who until last No­ vember was president of the State Teachers' association of Michigan, feared he was losing his mind, accord­ ing to the belief expressed by his phy­ sician and close friends In Lansing. It is said that for many months Mr. Cummings has been under a severe nervous strain. His mother, suffer­ ing from a mental derangement, caused him considerable anxiety while she was residing in his home. Mr. Cummings had been at Daytona Beach for two months In an effort to recuperate, following Injuries .eceived when he shot himself last December. According to friends and relatives, .it that time, he shot himself accidental­ ly while cleaning his shotgun after a hunting trip. Part of his heart was torn away and the fear that be never would recover his strength as a result of his Injury, is said to have been one of the causes of his suicide. Doctor Cummings swallowed the poison while recovering from injuries sustained recently when he slashed his wrists with a knife. The Grand Haven police assert he previously had tnade four attempts to end his life. Cummings registered at the hotel as "R. S. Brown, Detroit." He left two letters--one to his widow and the other to Mr. Sea- grove. In tjhem he said he killed him­ self because he "didn't want to become a burden to his family and the state."
