Murphy Signs
Bills For Penal
Reorganization
Present Prison, Welfare
Commissions Abolished
Under New Acts
LANSING, July 22-(P)-The Ad-
ministration reorganization program
became law today when Governor
Murphy signed bills setting up new
agencies for the control of the state
penal and welfare systems.
The acts abolish the present prison
and welfare commissions and install
in their places corrections and state
public assistance commissions. The
welfare reorganization extends into
the counties, where new welfare
boards are to be formed. Due to the
details involved the law becomes ef-
fective next Jan. 1, with the county
boards to be established next March
1. Governor Murphy said, however,
he will begin selecting new personnel
for the State Welfare department at
once.
Starts Penal Reorganization
The Governor started immediately
the penal reorganization. The law
establishes a state corrections de-
partment, with a director and three
assistants in charge of prison man-
agement, paroles and probation. In-
dications were that Hilmer Gellein,
present parole commissioner, will be-
come director, with Joel R. Moore,
warden of the State Prison of South-
ern Michigan at the head of the
prison management division and
Ralph Hall Ferris, a member of the
faculty of the Detroit Institute of
Technology as head of the probation
division. The governor is considering
several persons to handle paroles. He
named three of the five members
of the corrections commission which
will replace the prison commission.
They were John W. Miner, Jackson,
George Burke, Ann Arbor, and Frpd
Johnson,Detroit.
A parole board, with the assistant
director in charge of paroles as chair-
man, will pass upon all applications
for paroles. The governor will be re-
lieved entirely of issuing paroles. No
inmate of a state prison may be
paroled prior to the expiration of his
minimum term except upon the writ-
ten recommendation of the sentenc-
ing judge.
New Hospital Commission
The welfare measures set up a new
State Hospital Commission entirely
divorced from the Public Assistance
Commission. The present State Emer-
gency Welfare Commission, State
Corrections Commission, State Insti-
tute Commission and the Old Age As-
sistance Bureau are abolished. Their
functions are taken over by the public
assistance commission and by the
State Board of Education.
With the approval of the reorgan-
ization acts the Governor signed ap-
propriation bills to finance the state
hospitals and the prisons. They pro-
vided $2,600,000 a year for prison op-
eration and maintenance and $5,460,-
000 a year fo the operation of state
hospitals and allied institutions. In
addition a building program for the
hospitals was approved. It calls for
the expenditure of $3,410,935 in the
current fiscal year and $3,021,500 next
year.
Approves School Aid Measure
Altogether Murphy signed bills
carrying appropriations of more than
$75,000,000 for this year. He ap-
proved the School Aid measure,
granting $43,000,000 of state assist-
ance annually. A bill appropriating
more than $17,000,000 for depart-
mental purposes this year was signed.
It increased the appropriation for the
state police sufficiently to permit the
addition of 100 men.
The Governor signed an appropria-
tion of $230,183 this year and $224,-
983 next year for the operation of
the Michigan Soldiers Home. He ap-
proved grants of more than $6,000,000
a year for so-called special state pur-
poses.
The Governor signed "a fair trade"
act, forbidding baking companies and
gasoline filling stations to engage in
ruinous price-cutting wars involving
sale at a loss.
It sets up a list of forbidden un-
fair trade practices, including sale at
lower than costprices "with intent
to injure or destroy the business of
a competitoror competitors," secret
rebates, unearned discounts, and the
giving of premiums to stimulate bus-
iness.

Measurements
Are Necessary
To Curriculum
Dr. Verner M. Sims Says
Evaluation Is Essential
Step In Building
Measurements are not to be di-
vorced from curriculum building for
they are essential steps in the pro-
cess, Dr. Verner M. Sims of the
University of Alabama told a group
yesterday in the auditorium of the
University high school.
"There are three steps to curricu-
lum building," Dr. Sims said, "First,
the aims of the new curriculum must
be defined; second, the technique to
attain the object must be developed;
and third, measurements of the suc-
cess of the new program must be
made."
Speaking on "Education Measure-
ments and the New Curriculum," he
said that measurements always have
played an important part in any ed-
ucational program, and that they al-
ways will. "Therefore," Dr. Sims de-
clared, "measurements must play an
important part in the building of a
curriculum."
"America is in the throes of a cur-
riculum development," he continued,
"and to get a complete measurement
of the results of a new curriculum,
three things are necessary."
"These are: the necessity of hav-
ing measuring experts sit on the coun-
cil of curriculum planning, the or-
ganization of persons interested in
evaluation of curriculum for ex-
change of ideas, and the develop-
ment of a plan of evaluation of
measuring units for each unit of the
curriculum," he concluded.

in such translations as 'fore-know-

Coleridge's notion, as quoted ap-
provingly by the late Archbishop
Trench in his treatise on etymology,
was cited by Dr. Edgerton as another
horrible example. Coleridge advised
going back to the "primary sense" of
word, which, according to Professor
Edgerton, can mean nothing but ig-.
noring usage and actually creating
new, since unused, meanings.
Denial that he was opposed to word
or sense-creation in itself was ex-
pressed by the speaker, but, as he
said, "This seems to me a curious
ground for the creation of new mean-
ings.
"We are always meeting people
who say, 'You use that word in-
correctly. It should mean this.' And
they proceed to give us a meaning
based upon the word's etymology.
But once a word has acquired a
meaning, regardless of how it has
acquired that meaning, then it is ac-
cepted, and that is an end of it-
until another meaning is accepted."

TO HANDLE 'CHISLERS'
MADISON, Wis., July 23.-(A)-Of
the thousands of students burning
the midsummer oil throughout the
nation, some of the luckiest are
studying at the University of Wiscon-
sin.
They are the members of the 65
families, totaling 265 residents, who
were able to get into the tent colony
.on Lake Mendota. Scores had to be
turned away.
The camp, 25 years old this sum-
mer, is for married students and their
families. Each family gets a tent-
home for $5 a month. Parents
share in caring for the children so
that father or mother can go to
classes on the campus, three miles
away, and be sure the youngsters
are in good hands.

the boy to comfort him in his own
language. One of the most difficult
things she has ever done, she says,
was singing him an old Dutch lullaby
he had requested.
Holding his hand in the dark cold,
a brave voice sang the soothing mel-
ody they had both known frorh
childhood, as Peter lost conscious-
ness and died.
Nearer Madrid now, Lini was put
in complete charge of a hospital, and
under her only Spanish peasant girls
to do the work. She vividly recalls
the night Fascist planes bombed mu-
nitions trucks camped near Hospital
Number 3. She and a doctor watched
the streaking projectiles hurling to-
ward the earth in the moonlight. One
bomb . . . two bombs . .. three . .
The fourth landed in the street out-
side the hospital, and they stopped
breathing waiting for the explosion.
It didn't explode.
There was no time to leave the
night-long cases of amputations now
flooding the tiny hospital. In the
morning they opened the German-
made bomb, found it filled with saw-;
dust and a note: "This will not ex-
plode. Victory to the Spanish gov-
ernment, from the German workers."
Lini Fuhr went to Spain in Jan-
uary with five other nurses, six doc-
tors, two ambulance drivers, a tech-
nician, four ambulances, and a 100-
bed hospital complete. She intends
returning as soon as possible even
though it means possible death. Her
concluding words last night were:
"We are proud to work there."
She ate beans for four long months,,
she sawta woman and baby blown to
bits a few steps from her, she worked
in impromptu hospitals without heat
or sanitation facilities, she searched
through the whole of Madrid for
intestinal needles badly needed when
supplies did not arrive-without
avail, s h e worked interminable
hours each day, she heard from
home once in months, she witnessed
bombs dropping almost each day, she
saw the residents of Madrid refuse to
follow orders to evacuate the city,
prefering to fight it out with kitchen
knives if it comes to that, she has
seen thousands of starving, ill-
clothed people fighting with a pride
that she thinks will eventually win.
She's going back as soon as possible.
At present she is making addressesa
to American audiences, bringing
thanks of the Spanish people. The]
Committee on Medical Aid to Span-
ish Democracy including many of the
Who's Who of American medicine,
has sent 100 persons, 45 ambulances,
and six complete hospitals units to
Spain. The group includes Dr. Fred-
erick A. Coller, professor of surgery
here, and Dr. Reuben L. Kahn, of the;
boat landings, bridle paths and other
sports facilities are ready and wait-
ing when studying is done. Non-
students live a bridge-party, sewing-'
bee life.
The community is governed on a'
village basis. The president this year'
is Louis Slimmer of Maywood, Ill.,
who was a football teammate of Red
Grange, at Illinois.

co's insurgents, after being repulsed
in an attack, moved back across the
Perales River and began to dig in.
Another assault on government po-
sitions east of the Guadarrama River
was replied.
Both sides turned withering shell-
fire on smal lobjectives, neither risk-
ing a large scale offensive in the bit-
terly contested area where the "Bat-
tle for Madrid" has been in progress
for a week. Each evidently was wait-
ing for the other to crack first.
There was no change, consequently,
in the thumb shaped salient govern-
ment troops have jabbed into insur-
gent territory about 15 miles west of
Madrid.
The "thumb" points south, its tip at
Brunete and its sides at Quijorna on
the west and Villafranca Del Par-
dillo on the east.
Insurgent forces centered their
pressure in the Brunete sector in an
effort to drive between the govern-
ment lines.
Insurgent commanders believe they
can force the government back from
its 100 square mile salient if they can
split its forces at Brunete.
On the other hand, the government
is pointing the "thumb" toward Na-
valcarnero, south of Brunete, an im-
portant base for the siege of Madrid,
and at Getafe, further southwest, an
extreme outpost of the siege lines.
The government high command be-
lieves that by driving behind the
siege lines, completely isolating it
from the main body of the insurgents,
it can lift the sige of the capital and,.
possibly, deliver the crucial blow of
the war.
Local Autopsy
Awaits Victim
Of Hotel Blaze
As St. Clair county authorities
launched a widespread search for a
dishwasher at the Daybreak Inn at
New Baltimore,which burned to the
ground at dawn yesterday, they. an-
nounced that the body of a girl, in
connection with whose death the man
is sought, would be sent here for au-
topsy by Dr. John C. Bugher of the
University pathology staff.
Dr. Bugher, reached at his home
last night, said he had at that time
received no word from the officers,
but was prepared to make any inves-
tigation they might request.
Sheriff W. L. Van Antwerp an-
nounced that the body, that of Mary
Jane Mohan, 16 years old, of De-
troit, was found, burned almost be-
yond recognition and with the skull
fractured, on a mattress in the ruins
of the dining room, directly below the
room which had been occupied by the
missing dishwasher, James McCor-
mick, 31 years old.

superb racing strains

in the fleet Thoroughbred.

horses. Strange to say, the Thoroughbreds thus
developed proved far fleeter than the horses by
whom they were sired, and today it is common
knowledge that a medium Thoroughbred will
outrun the best of the Arabians. But from the
three noble stallions they received an unmatched
heritage for courage, endurance, intelligence,
