Tt was voted to send a committe to Mayor Caldwell to see what be done to stop the health depart ment from the alleged illegal prac tice of thus quarantining boarding houses and other homes where the family is dependent upon the home to earn their living. Several speakers warned that pas sage of thre Sheppard-Towner bill now Defore congress must be blocked in order to avert the catastrophe of a “nation being dominated by the medi eal profession.” DECLARE MEASURE IS “VERY SUBTLE” ‘The bill, it was sald, provides fo was can , the examination and advice of expec. | tant mothers by doctors under the @irection of a national board of health, and is “very subtle.” Edward Judd, an attorney repre- genting the league in the socalled “clinic suit,” informed the league that the case had been argued Tues @ay before the state supreme court, with the probability that a decision may be expected early next year, Possibly sooner. The suit was brought against Dr. Ira Brown, state medical adviser who is alleged to have gone beyond his rights in establishing a school clinic here, where 9,699 surgical op- erations were performed upon school children during the fiscal year of 1918-19, and $41,000 of school money expended without legal authority. In the matter of vaccinating school ehildren, the league did not take the stand that vaccination should not be Permitted, but that it should not be “vaccination in the public schools to HERE IS MORE OF CRIME WAVE STARTS.

While none of the delegates would consent to be quoted, the impres- sion seemed to be general that ynder conditions the league Would have to depend solely upon economic pressure to compel Germany's acknowledgement of the binding na ‘ture of the pact. ‘That this would be efficacious was regarded as certain, owing to Ger. many’s peculiar vulnerability in this jon at this particular time As the situation now stands, La Fontaine said, discussing . dixarma- ment, the league is composed of 42 les with armies numbering mil-| Hons, and yet is unable to sav Armenia. He demanded formation ot| an international general staff and immiediate employment of an tnter- national force, under the league in behalf of Armenia, “thereby dermon-| strating to the world the effective- mess of the league.” Disarmament not being possible pow, the members’ armies and navies should be placed at the disposition ‘of the league to form the basis for an international force under the league, La Fontaine said.
