Within the last few weeks, eight atients have been released on pro- Bation from the National Leprosa- ¥ium here, sent back to their homes no longer a menace to the public health. Since the institution was established by the United States public health service seven years ago, 87 have been released, and only one has suffered a relapse. released recently had been under treatment from two to seven years, and about 400 others remain. Develop Derivatives Many of the __ bacteriological, themical, pathological and clinical Btudies which have contributed to the advances made in treatment of the disease in recent years have been conducted by health service workers in Hawaii. Their principal achievement has been the develop- ment of chemical derivatives ‘from vhaulmoogra oil, obtained from an oriental tree, which have increased its effectiveness in combating the leprosy germ. The treatment was rather painful, however, until the Bpecialists here developed a method pf administering the injections with Blocal anesthetic. The scientific studies also have established that the disease is com- municated only by direct and usual- ly prolonged contact with a victim. Casual contact, the investigators found, is not so dangerous as it has been regarded, and they suspect that nasal secretions probably have most to do with transmission of the germs. These germs, in form and appear- ‘ance, are extremely difficult to dis- tinguish from those of tuberculosis, another plague which has beset mankind —and to a much greater extent—as far back as history goes nd has begun to yield to the ad- Yances of science only in recent eS The resources of a skilled acteriologist are required to iden- tify them. Statistical studies conducted in connection with the sicentific work indicate that the number of cases of leprosy in the United States ex- ceeds 1,000.

Those \, MOUNTING COST OF OBSERVED BY Washington, Oct. 24.—(#)— Al-| though the Byrd antarctic expedi- | tion is not the first million-dollar ex- | ploration undertaken in the history | of Ameriean scientific effort, it has | emphasized the mounting cost of this branch of endeavor for the advance- ment of man’s knowledge. In cost, the naval expedition led by Charles Wilkes, which visited antarctic regions and various islands in the Pacific and eventually worked its way around the world in 1838-42, probably comes as close as any to the Byrd expedition for purposes of comparison. A squadron of naval vessels was used, and, while no fig- ures are avhilable because the ex- eae was met largely out of regu- lar navy appropriations. the total must have amounted to $1,000,000 or more, It is among the less extraordinary undertakings, however, that the tapid ,inerease in the cost of ex- Ploration in recent years becomes most apparent. George K. Cherrie, former curator of the Field Museum of Natural History at Chicago, who has made 39 scientific expeditions to Central and South America, is quoted by Mrs. Mary L. Jobe Akeley, widow of the African explorer, Cari Ploring has become a rich man’s pastime.” His last expedition to central Brazil, he said, cost three times as much as it would have 30 years ago. tomobile bus companies, Belanger said. It is probable that the com- pany will spend about $50,000 in the next year for new equipment. STEAMER HiTs ROCKS IN GULF Montreal, Oct. 24.—(#)—Officials of the Cairn Steamship Line today awaited word from the master of the freighter Cairntorr, which ran on the rocks on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence last night.

The Carnegie in- | stitution of Washington, which has | been conducting oceanographic ex- | plorations for a number of years{ with the nonmagnetic ship egie, | finds that the cost of operating the | vessel now amounts to about $70,000 a year, as compared with $30,000 be- fore: the World war, not including the salaries of the scientific staff. The National Geographic society has expended $400,000.-on explora- tions and field surveys in the last few years, including $50,000 in the summer of 1925 to finance the North Greenland expedition of Capt. Don- ald MacMillan, on which Comm. Richard E. Byrd obtained his first arctic flying experience. The four ears of work in exploring Mount atmai, resulting in the discovery of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes on the Alaskan peninsula, cost more than $75,000, and a three- year expedition to uncover ancient Inca ruins in the mountains of Peru required $50,000, The figures do not cover the com- piling and publishing of the masses of data obtained by the expeditions. Much of the increased cost is found y various explorers to be the re- sult of advances in the prices for equipment, food and incidentals, al- though salaries have gone up to some extent and labor and other help has advanced considerably, to tell a story in grade 3A, Miller street public school.

J., Oct. 24—(>)— The Graf Zeppelin was ready today to start on her mid-west tour either tonight or at dawn tomorrow, de- pending upon weather conditions. Passengers were instructed to be at the field at 6 p. m. tonight. Eigh- teen to twenty passengers will be carried as guests of Dr. Hugo Eckener, the Zeppelin’s commander. Dr. Eckener and those of his of- ficers and crew who had been visit- ing Washington and Chicago re- turned here last night. The detailed route depends upon weather conditions, but the tenta- tive itinerary would take the Graf Zeppelin from Lakehurst over Pitts- burgh, Columbus, O., Cincinnati, In- dianapolis and St. Louis to Scott field, Bellevillle, Ill, If the start is made at dawn the dirigible will spend the night at Scott ‘field, Ill, taking off the following day for a cruise over Chicago, Milwau- kee, Detroit, Cleveland, Akron, Buf- falo, Niagara Falls, Syracuse, Al- bany, New York City and back to the naval air station here. She then would be refueled and prepared for her return flight to Friedrickshafen, Germany, her home port. SILVER SCORES CLASS DIVISION IN AGRICULTURE Widest Spread Ever Known Be- tween Classes Is Due to Re- publican Leadership Agriculture will henceforth occupy the strategic position in poliucs which industry held in that period of our national life from the time of the war between the states until the end of the World war, Ki Aelita farm relief leader of West Virginia, gaid here last night. Mr. Silver was the principal speaker at a Democratic meeting at the court house. P. ‘W. Lanier, Dem- ocratic candidate for the attorney generalship, also was a speaker. Mr. Silver will talk at Mandan tonight. “The price paid by agriculture for failing to be as class-conscious and Pe a at alee! as other groups is ‘rightful to contemplate,” the speak- er declared. He pointed out that the property of the American farmer was appraised at $80,000,000,000 in the 1920 census. The farmer has changed his indebtedness from less than $4,000,000,000 to more than $14,000,000,000, on a net basic prop- erty aa the farmer worth $80,000,- “This nation, with a highly devel- oped people, has under Republican rule come to the place through this economic inequality where we have the widest spread between the classes and the masses ever known. “Country school teachers are dis- appearing, thereby limiting educa- tional opportunity of country people, and country doctors are going to {town and thereby depriving the health opportunity of country people, and country preachers are following the teacher and doctor. All of this ‘because the political leadership of \ the Republican party knows its mas- \ter’s voice and gets him cheap raw materials and cheap food. “Agriculture seems to be awaken- ing to this fact, for we now see ay ricultural leaders and great ganizations of agriculturists a doning their former politic ‘ies and joining with their fellow farmers in fighting for a new economic pol- icy for this country, in which agri- culture will have a fair place along , other groups of our national Silver scored Mrs. Mabel Wille- brandt for using “religious preju- dices, intolerance, and a special method of securing temperance in what we drink,” in drawing a “red herring” across the economic equal- ity for agriculture, “She, being a lawyer, no doubt comprehends fully the clause of our constitution which says that no re- ligious tests shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States. , ‘However, she seems to prefer to violate or nullify the constitution, as do many others who find the law of the land interfering with their selfish purposes.” ~ Speaking of farm problems, Silver said that they needed “some device for negotiating market levels, such At what ageisamanin his prime?
