DIXON ISSUES ANNUAL WARNING Gives List of Antitoxin Dis tributors For Fourth of July Victims Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Health Commissioner, to-day issued a warn ing against Fourth of July accidents and told of preparations the Health Department has made so that there would be ready all over the State an Immediate supply of tetanus an titoxin to save thosa threatened with lockjaw from burns or wounds. "Pennsylvania in the past," says Dr. Dixon, "has had too large a list of accidents resulting from Fourth of July celebrations. It is to be hoped that this will be altered this year by the growing sentiment for a safe and sane celebration, all the more appro priate on account of the time we find sur.selves in. "Restrictive measures relative to the use of fireworks and firearms is the only means by which this can be accomplished. War's toll of lives is unavoidable, but sacrifice of hu man life for play is inexcusable. "In order that such accidents as are allowed to occur may not be fol lowed by deaths from tetanus, or lockjaw, as it is commonly called, the Health Department has made ar rangements for the State-wide dis tribution of tetanus antitoxin. This will be furnished without cost to the poor. The State will not permit any one to suffer for want of antitoxin. Antitoxin Warning "It is essential that tetanus anti toxin be administered within twenty four hours after the wound has been received. Any physician can secure immunizing doses of 1,500 units upon application, if he will certify that it is for the treatment of per sons too poor to pay, or those unable to obtain It anywhere else. "Do not consider wounds from ex plosions or other Fourth of July causes trivial. Send for the physician at once. If It is Impossible to secure hla immediate attendance, wash out the wound thoroughly with boiled water, using it as hot as it can be borne. Remove every particle of for eign matter and until the doctor ar rives apply wet cloths saturated with a solution made by adding a tea spoonful of salt to a pint of boiling water."

Twenty two members were In attendance and the vote in support of the resolution was unanimous. The league is made up of the electrical men of the city. "The Jovians, like all other Harris burgers," said President John S. Mus sel', following the meeting, "feel that they ought to contribute their mite toward the patriotic efforts now being put forth to make easier the lot of the man who sacrifices so much in going to the front. They are not strong numerically and so have de cided-to do what they can toward the relief of the families of soldiers who may be in need of aid during the peri od of the war."

C., June >\—Under the government plan for the organ ization of farm labor, the details of which were announced by the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture to-day, provision is made for nation wide co-operation In the solution dt the farm help problem. The work |of organization already has been started in about forty States, and it is expected that eventually every community in the' United States will be reached. Jt is believed that the resultant utilization of emergency labor will begin to have an ap preciable effect on the farm labor situation before the season has far advanced. Meanwhile, the immedi ate and acute problem of supplying labor for the harvests, now begin ning in the Southwest, is being han dled, so far as the United States government's services are concerned, through the existing employment service of the United States Depart ment of Labor, which will continue to handle such problems of mass mobilization under the new plan as it has in the past. Federal Co-operation The plan Is based on close co operation on the part of the United States Department of Agriculture and the United States Department of Labor with State committees on national defense charged with labor matters, with the State agricultural colleges, with the county agents and with county and local or township labor committees or representatives to be established in every locality. The Department of Agriculture will represent the federal authorities In determining farm labor needs ,'nd in assisting in organizing all avail able farm labor in the rural dis tricts. The United States Depart ment of Labor will devote its atten tion to organized labor# in urban communities and industrial regions, and will co-operate with the farm labor forces where necessary by ob taining extra labor from the popu lous centers. The plan provides for strictly lo cal handling of all labor problems that can be adjusted locally. The fundamental unit of the organiza tion is the "community man" who, with the assistance of such commit tees as he may appoint, canvasses his own neighborhood, finds out what farmers need help, and what men are available for supplying the lo cal need, and effects such adjust ments as can be made locally. If. after all local adjustments have been made, there remains either a deficit or a surplus of labor, he re ports to the "county man," whoso business it is to effect adjustments between the several communities In his county. The county man, in turn, reports any deficit or surplus to the "State man," who canvasses the sit uation for the State as a whole and reports to the Department of Agri culture, which, in close co-operation with the Department of Labor, is charged with the distribution of mobile labor for the country as a whole. Thus each unit in the system acts as a clearing house for Its own ter ritory, reporting to the units higher up only when It needs help or has help to offer. The plan provides that supplemental reports snail be sub mitted by each community man whenever changes In the local labor situation make desirable further ad justments that cannot be met with the material at hand, or when a surplus of labor develops which he can not use. A great many retired farmers, of whom there are 700,000 in the country, may be available for emer gency service under this plan of farm labor mobilization. The plans con template also the drawing of emer gency labor from the cities under the immediate direction of the De partment of Labor, the effective utilization of college students and school boys, and. if necessary, the assignment of volunteer women and girls to rural tasks connected par ticularly with feeding and caring for harvest hands or other extra labor, or with farm canning or dry ing of surplus perishable products. In other words, the plan contem plates supplying assistance not mere ly for field operations, but to farm women during their season of heavi est domestic duties.

CHRISTLEY'S ACTS ARE DESCRIBED Dr. Bill Tells of Man's Be havior Who Is on Trial For Murder of Wife Much qt the interest to-day in the trial of John O. Christley, charged with shooting his wife last July 11, centered on the testimony of Dr. George E. Bill, 819 North Third street, who was called as a witness by the defense in an effort to prove Christley insane. Dr. Bill told of an examination of Christley in January, when ac cording to the physician, tho defend ant said he had mistrusted his wife from the time of their marriage. When first called, District Attorney Stroup objected to the testimony of Dr. Bill, asking the court to rule whether the physician is an author ity on nervous diseases. The court decided to let the physician testify. As part of the evidence Dr. Bill gave measurements of Christley's head, told of his actions and uonver sation, and his unfounded jealously .of Mrs. Christley.
