DR. DONALD SHIRA
Speaks in Lindenwald
"Tuberculosis is spreading like nox
ious weeds in Butler county," said Dr.
Donald Shira, speaking before the
Lindenwald Community Club, Hamil
ton, Friday afternoon. "The oppor
tunity to check this spread will be
put up to the voters November 2,
when a bond issue to erect a tubercu
losis sanatorium will be voted on. This
is not an issue of dollars and cents,
but an issue of life and death," Dr.
Shira continued.
He further explained that there are
more than 400 known caes of tubercu
losis in the county at present time, and
the cases being reported by the health
officials is daily increasing, making
the picture more alarming.
"Other counties in Ohio are caring
for their patients. Other counties
having their own tuberculosis sana
toria cannot accept outside of county
patients. Butler county is the largest
in the state not providing sanatorium
care and many smaller counties have
found it economically sound to provide
these facilities. To save a life Dr.
Shira concluded, vote YES on the
Butler County Tuberculosis Sanator
ium Bond Issues, November 2."

LEASE, miss." Rosa Amato
smiled at me timidly, placing her
crooked little brown hand In mine.
'•Amato says I can come to you for
help. He says the rich people have put
away money to give us." She mur
mured this apologetically with many
stops and starts and coughs.
"But, Rosa, hasn't Vittorlo a fine
business with everybody having old
shoes repaired instead of buying new
ones?"
She blushed painfully, the blood dye
ing her skin a deep rust that crawled
from her sparse, mouse-gray hair to
her loose, drooping neck.
"But nobody can pay." She spoke
the words so readily, so mechanically,
that I knew they had been rehearsed.
I decided, also, that Amato must have
sent her to me with stern, unequivocal
commands which no amount of courage
could defy.
"I'll be over to see you In the morn
ing," I promised, "and then we can see
Just what you need."
She backed her way out of the office
as If afraid to give further offense,
eyes on the floor, shawl pulled tightly
around thin shoulders, brittle knees
cracking at each step.
The next morning, as Investigator for
the emergency relief, I paid the Amatoa
my first official visit. As I walked
through the dusty, wlilrrlug repair shop
toward the closed door of their home
in the rear, a wave of apprehension be
set me.
How often, as a child, I had come to
the door with slippers to be soled and
run out with my tiands full of luscious,
wrinkled Italian olives that Rosa smug
gled to me when Amato's back was
turned! How often I had wondered
why that door was always closed. Was
it a sanctuary of evil? I recalled, now,
the terror with which we used to whis
per our suspicions when, In the black
of the night or the slate of the dawn,
fearful, pitiful cries tore through a silt
of window. And the next day Rosa
would appear red-eyed and swollen,
with ugly patches of blue and yellow
and purple marbling her face. Then
her sharp, glistening eyes were dull
and heavy as mud, and no cajoling
could evoke a smile or a cookie.
But the room had no ghouls. It was
clean and cluttered and virtually pa
pered with holy Madonnas. There was
a coal stove and a kitchen pantry In
one corner, a plush chair with a beaded
lamp of Victorian elegance In another,
an oak dresser with a crocheted table
scarf in third, and a square brass bed
wearing a tremendous quilt of red and
orange and green and yellow In the
fourth. Tt was, in a word, bedroom,
kitchen, library and church, as bright
and busy and colorful as the Ponte
Vecchlo Itself.
It looked as warm and homely as
Rosa, and for the moment I was sure
that no screams, no beatings, could
have taken place In such a friendly
home. Then Amato entered. His fierce
black mustache was salted with gray,
and the ends, which used to be so hand
somely waxed, drooped shapelessly
down the sides of his mouth. His thin
string of a mouth curled bitterly as
ever, nor had his gleaming evil eyes
grown softer with years.
"Miss," he said, "we need a new mat
tress. See," tearing off the carefully
laid quilt and exposing a flat, tattered
pile of tufting, "we sleep on the hard
wood." He was a heavy man with
plenty of flesh on him but I could pic
ture Rosa's poor tired bones aching
against the bare slats.
"I'll order a new one for you," I said
to Rosa and as I turned to go she
pressed a dry, hard little hand Into
mine and whispered, "Grazia."
The day the mattress arrived I went
myself to see that they had delivered
the right one before It should be used.
As Amato was downtown buying sup
plies Rosa and I delightedly placed the
new mattress on the bed and quickly
carried the old one out into the yard
to be burned.
This was a momentous ceremony so
Rosa slyly offered me a glass of de
licious red wine with which we cele
brated gaily. We lighted a match and
in a moment the flames leaped high.
Rosa pressed her hand into mine and
together we enjoyed watching the fire
slowly consume the shabby, disreput
able mess. Suddenly we heard a wild
clamor.
"What you burn there?" shrieked
Amato.
"Your filthy old mattress!" I cried
triumphantly.
By this time the flames had died
away and only ashes remained. Amato
stared at us furiously for a moment.
Then, with a scream of agony, he
rushed Into the smoldering mass and
feverishly threw himself upon it, rak
ing, with his bare hands, the gray dust.
Finding nothing he turned to us In a
frenzy.
"You," he cried, wringing his hands
at me In rage and anguish, "you, why
you not wait till I come home? You
know what you done?" His voice be
came a hoarse sob, cracking in his
throat. "You have burn my savings for
forty years. I have all my eighteen
hun'red dollars hid' away in that mat

Unemployment Facts Need
ed, Biggers Points Out
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—John
D. Biggers, director of the National
Unemployment Census, told reporters
here the canvass will give the federal
government a composite factual pic
ture of the unemployment problem
on which to base its relief work.
"There has been an attempt to
solve the great problem of unemploy
ment without detailed information," he
said, pointing out that no survey had
ever been made to determine distribu
tion of unemployed, ages, and other
facts.
"What is to be done with the facts,"
is quite beyond my province," Big
gers said. "In priate business we
don't tackle a problem until we get
the facts."
