These deal chiefly with so-called art pictures that can he - forwarded to the purchaser through the mails at a nominal price. Public schoo! officials regard this {i- licit traffic as one of the most seri- ous menaces to public morals con- fronting children of school age. ‘Through Dr. Frank W. Ballou, su- perintendent of schools, notice was served today that school officials would do everything in their power | fo keep these pictures and magazines from circulating among public school | children. Schools Aid Drive. ““We have noticed in the past,” sald Dr. Ballou, “that many small news dealers in the vicinity of the schools were exhibiting pictures and obscene | magazines. This brought the ques tion close to the schools. Of course. we have no supervision over them and can only act when it is known they are violating the law. “The parents of school children may rest assured that we will do everything we can to assist and co- operate with the police and The Star in a general clean-up. The defifiite relation between the sale of this sort of matter and the schools is too im- portant to be ignored by us. “Any effort to keep such literature oft the newsstands from the view of young children ought to be com- u jobs like this men will get hurt Hurt Arm in Fall From Box Car Gets quick relief from painful injury In 4 fall from the top of a box car a freight brakeman on the Chicago and Northwestern Rail- way badly sprained his left arm and tore the ligamen ; “] suffered great pain,” he writes f Belle Plaine, Towa 1 from e, Towa Then I got a bottle of Sloan's iment and it relieved the pain ht away. § foan's gets results because it esn’t just dezden the pain.

He insisted that the Monroe doctrine was not in- volved in the situation now existing in_Nicaragua He urged the committes fully the condition ragua Mr, Huddleston was frequently in members of the commit some of whom differed with him regarding the involvement of the Mon- roe doctrine in the Nic aguan situa tion.

After Mr. Huddleston had hbeen heard for some time, he yvielded so that Representative Moore could make his motion to sumimon Secretary Kellogg before the committee. Mr. Moore urged that the committee was entitled to the fullest information re- garding the Nicaraguan situation and that the only way to obtain such in formation was to hear Mr. Kellogg, as the Senate foreign relations com- mittee did yesterday. He contended that the dignity of the House and its committee demand- ed that they be as fully informed as the Senate and the foreign relations committee. Representative Fish of New York, Republican, supported the proposai made by Mr. Moore.
