IS WL REKET WRE SERVCE PACT Refuses to Sign Inter-Ameri- can Agreement on Com- munications Systems. The United States.has refused to adhere to the convention signed by most of the Central and South Amer- ican States at the Inter-American Tlectrical Communications Conference at Mexico City. The convention, however, doés not become effective until July 1, 192 and the State Department, in an- nouncing the decision of the American egation against signing the pact, cxpressed hope that, in the meantime, @ world conference may be held to establish regulation governing radio communication in the light of devel- opments made since the London agreement was reached in 1912. A number of objections to the Mex- City corvention, which was nego- tiated last month under a resolution of the fifth pan-American confer- ence, are held by the American Gov- ernment. It was drafted, says the department, “to apply to government owned systems of communications and did " not adequately safeguard e interests of private ged in the operation of munication facilit Conflicts With Policy. also “would involve a " in administration of and radio systems con- rious government agen- 1 would have to be placed d control, and the signa- torics agree to construct additional Jand lines and wireless stations, in conflict with the policy of the United States to encourage private enter- brise in this field Objection also is raised to submis- sion of rates to international regula- tion and acceptance in advance of service regulations left to be worked out later, and to obligations for offi- cial broadcasting, elimination of sur- charges in sending messages to des- tination when usual routes are inter rupted. and provision that senders may choose the route for relaying their me s Furt aga to o b messages to ducted by cies, since under unif er objections were raised| ding the parties | stings, to sending | ations through | er than the routes, in case | interruption, without surcharge, | and to allowing senders of messages | to the route by which the| dispatches shall be sent. i The United States further declined | to submit telegraphic, telephonic or radio rates to international regul tion.

By the Asnociated Press. BALTIMORE, Md., August 13.—An important discovery of the use of glycerin supplementing insulin in treatment of diabetes and in some cases substituting for it, has been made by Johns Hopkins Hospital phy- icians, who are conducting the clinic and research bureau, in advanced cases of the disease. The discovery, officially announced to the medical world, {s the result of experiments and (o some extent the result of chance. The element of chance entered when it was discov- ered that a patient being provided with insulin for daily injections, un- der the terms of the §10,000 gift made personally to the clinic by John D. Rockefeller, jr., was neglecting the treatment. Patlent Causes Discovery. This patient, found temperamen- tally unfit to administer injections of insulin, made no objection when given ARABLE AREA DROPS. 253,000 Acres Less in England and Wales. LONDON, August 13.—The agricul- tural return for England and Wales shows that the arable area has fallen off by 253,000 acres, and the perma- nent grass area increased by 183,000, as compared with 1923. The area of arable land is now practically the same as in 1914, The area under wheat again showed a substantial decline. This year's decrease of 194,000 acres brings the area of this crop to the lowest figure since 1904, Part of the reduction this year probably is attributable to un- favorable weather conditions at seed- ing time last autumn. Barley showed a relatively small decline of 11.000 acres, while oats and mixed corn in- creased respectively by 57,000 and 18,000 acres. The total area of the big three cereals, including mixed corn, was 5.032,000 acres, being 130,000 | acres less than in 1923. — e PAPERS IN MERGER. Three Publications Bought Up in Johnson City, Tenn.

The patient, about to die from neglect of the insulin, made a prompt recovery after taking the glycerin, and now is back at work on Malf time in domestic service. The report is given to the medical world as one of the fruits of the na- tion-wide study of diabetes treat- ment, which has been carried on all the more extensively and industrious- 1y since the first r te reports of in- sulin miracles we subjected to se- vere tests and tho period of disap- pointment came from those Wwho hoped for too muck. Cautious in Report. The Johns Hopkins report avoids sweeping conclusions and merely re- ports on actual results obtained. Dr. Henry M. Thomas, jr., issued the report. He says: “Glycerin's sphere of usefulness as a daily component of diabetic diet is limited to those cases in which the carbohydrate tolerance is slightly lower than that necessary to permit of a maintenance diet—that is, of a diet that will prevent loss of weight when the patient resumes daily routine of life and moderate work." MOTHER: RUSSIANS REPULSED. Rumanian Troops Surprise Band of Terrorists. BUCHAREST, Rumania, August 13. —Newspaper dispatches received here say that Rumanian troops surprised a Russian terrorist band which had crossed the Dniester River near the Black Sea coast, intending to pillage the Rumanian village of Shaba. The terrorists succeeded in escaping back over the frontier after a struggle, but were obliged to abandon their arms and munitions. The activities of raiding bands op- eratng over the Russian frontier were recently made the basis of a complaint from Poland to the Soviet government. The Poles alleged that the raiders received military training under regular t officer: LI I il [T T Anytime and Be Bure of Satisfaction, IN rrankun Sq.

It talked about something she had never heard discussed among the people she knew—not even the most intimate of her girl acquaintances. But it set her thinking. 7 Maybe this was the thing that was holding her back with the men she wanted most to attract—a thing that had never before entered her mind. TP ‘That’s the insidious thing about halitosis (unpleasant breath). You, your- self, rarely know when you have it. And even your closest friends won’t tell you. Sometimes, of course, halitosis comes from some deep-seated organic dise order that requires professional advice. But usually—and fortunately— halitosis is only a local condition that yiclds to the regular use of Listerine as 2 mouth wash and gargle. It is an interesting thing that this well-known antiseptic that has been in use for years for surgical dressings, possesses these unusual properties as a breath deodorant. Test the remarkable deodorizing effects of Listerine this way: Rub alitte onion on your fingers. Then apply Listerine and note how quickly the onion odor disappears. This safe and long-trusted antiseptic has dozens of different uses; note the little circular that comes with every bottle. Your druggist sells Listerine in the original brown package only— three sizes: three ounce, seven ounce and fourteen ounce. Buy the large size for economy.—Lambert Pharmacal Company, Saint Louis, U.
