J. L. Kirby-Smith, W. 1. Dove and G. F.| White. In a report to the Archives of Dermatology and Siphilology they say that this species of cutaneous worm is fairly common in the South- eastern and Southern coastal states. Susceptibility to the Infection varies, children belng the most frequent vi tims. Whites are infected more readi- Iy than negroes, it was found. The evidence at hand points to rats as the hosts of tife adult form of the worm, though any one of the smaller domes- | tic animale may be incriminated as the guilty harborer of the pest. Several modes of treatment have been proposed, but successful preven- tion of the infection will probably not take place, according to medical au- thorities, until there is more knowl- edge of the life history of the adult parasite. to physiclans : Jack, ridden by W.

Special Dispatch to The Star. YELLOWSTONE PARK. Wyo., May 15.—Cold as well as heat plays an im- portant part in the life of a geyser, according to the observation of Charles s, ranger in the National Park service. He spent the Winter at the Upper Geyser Basin, where the temperature frequently drops to 20 or 30 degrees below zero, and states that the hard, white deposits of silica that make up the cones of the geysers and form a crust on the ground between them are Jaid down much faster after the water from the eruptions has cooled off and frozen. It is his opinion that Winter freezing may play a more important part in the formation of this- crust I'than does the evaporation of the water during the Summer. An' examination of the unpublished manuscripts of the late Dr. Arrold Jlague of the United States Geologi- cal Survey, by Dr. A. L. Day of the Carnegle Institution of Washington, disclosed a paragraph on this subject. Dr. Hague wrot Demijohns of geyser water which have stood for ome or two years at moderate temperature without appar- ent change failed to precipitate silica. In experimenting. upon these waters in the laboratory it was noticed that on reducing them nearly to the freez- ing point no change took place, but on lowering the temperature there occurred an abundant separation of free silica. . - Wheat Crop Benefits Many. Th United States raises about 5,000, 000,000 bushels of wheat annually, but consumes and exports only one-fifth of it. The other four-fifths is turned into flesh and fat of domestic animals from which the food salvage is about 7 per cent. Hogs are the most eco- . | nomical food animals, returning about 20 per cent of the food given them. No Rest for the Potato. From now on potatos will work overtime if science has anything to do about it. Potatoes just dug from the ground have been insisting upon two ‘months’ rest before going to work and sprouting new vines. But now Dr. Frank E. Denny, of the Boyce Thomp- son Institute, Yonkers; N. Y., tells us in the Popular Science Magazine that dousing them in a certain chemical bath will open their eyes wide and start the shoots at once, lessening the time between crops. "MAY 16, CRAPS GAME LEAD TOFATAL STABBING Lewis Randolph, Colored, Is Victim—Ex-Policeman Held in Case. Fatally stabbed with a carving knife in an argument following a craps j&ame in the New York Meat Market |at 3233 M street, Lewis Randolph, col- | ored, 26 years old, dled within an hour at Georgetown Hospital last night, and Arthur Pennant, 40 years old, a former park policeman, was arrested shortly afterward, charged with murder. Policeman R. B. Carroll of the sev- enth precinct arrested Pennant while he was counting his money in an ice cream parlor at Twenty-first street and Pennsylvania avenue. He was taken to the seventh precinct, where police sald he appeared to be under the influence of liquor, and confessed to an argument in which he claimed he was forced to defend himself. Pennant Won $30. Investigation by the palice disclosed that Max Sacks, proprietor of the meat market; Robert H. Gross, a clerk i there; Pennant and Randolph had en. gaged in a game of dice after the clos- ing of the market. Pennant won $30 and the argument {ensued when he started to leave, ac- cording to the other men in the game, who sald both men reached for the knife and Pennant got it. After the stabbing, both Pennant and Randolph rushed to the street Randolph made his way to Potomac und M streets, where he collapsed from 10ss of blood from the gaping wound in his right thigh. Picked Up by Detective. Detective Cox of police headquar- ters, who was passing, picked up the man, hafled an automobile and rush- ed him to Georgetown Hospital. At the hospital physiclans found that several large blood vessels in the right thigh had been severed, pro- ducing such a weakened condition jthat he succumbed. Pennant is married and lives at 2141 K street. Randolph roomed at 3305 Volta place. —_— GEN.

F | By the Astociated Pre CHICA%0, May 15.—Reasons why cells beccme unruly and cause abrior- mal grovths are et forth today in a review ¢! experiments made in the last fives years by Prof. Conrad ¥. Tharaldsén, cytologist at Northwest- ern Unitersity. His research was carrfed ¢n here and at_ the Marine laboratory at Woodhole, Mass. Prof. Tharaldsen says that new cell life vomes about through chemi- cal and *nechanical agents instead of through the nucleus of cells, as pre- viously - believed. He invented a machine’ with which he cut away under microscope the nuclear part of the cell, and then developed new cells frem the remaining part with the ald ¢f chemical agents, his report says. The profesor claims his experiments show how cells may develop wrongly %0 as to produce such growths as cancer, but he has failed to discover any method by which the abnormal development may be arrested. This should form a new field of study for the chemist, he believes. | | | | ' Clothing Set Afire in Closet. Clothing in a closet in the apart- ment of Watson B.

GRANITE UNFINISHED, ERICSSON PLASTER CAST Presence of Royal Family Preclude Possibility of Postponement. President Will Make Ad- dress in Rites on Potomac Banks. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY. Unprecedented in the history of scores of unvellings and dedications of monuments to famous personages in the District of Columbia will be the officlal presentation to the public at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of May 29 of the memorial to John Ericsson, Swedish engineer, first to conceive of the idea of placing the vital parts of fighting vessels below the water line, realized in the appearance of the Monitor during the Civil War. The unusual in the presentation of this monument will be the use of only the plaster models of Ericsson and the superimposed group, consisting of Vision, Adventure and Labor. While workmen, under the direction of the_ sculptor, James E. Fraser of | New York, are busily placing the! plaster models, and giving them the| pinkish tint which the granite in the| permanent memorial will have, other | workmen of the office of Public Build- | ings and Parks of the National Capi- | tal are moving the 40-ton shaft of | granite from which the group will be carved and the 15-ton block from| which tie tmage of Eriesson will be carved out of the line of activities in connection with the formal dedica- | | tion, which will be participated in by President Coolidge und Crown Prin Gustaf Adolf und Crown Princes Louise of Sweden. The blocks of | granite were put in place many weeks | ugo for the men who will do the| actual carving, but there have been many delays for varlous reasons, so| that” it became necessary either to| postpone the unveiling, or to use the | models. The latter was decided upon | because the members of the Swedish | royal family were coming here to take | part officially in the cxercises me. morializing one of their former coun- tryman. Chin¢slom and Grant in Charge. In he meantime, Representative Chi= iblom of Chicago, who ta chalr: ma1 of the citizens' committee of | Scandinavian-Americans, handling the | civillan side of the project, and Maj. | U. & Grant, 3d, director of the Office of Public Bulldings and Public Parks | of the Natfonal Capital, are working on the program and the detalls in. cident to seating and handling the | thousands of people expected to come to Washington to witness the event. The program to date is a more or less tentative one. Practically the only matters settled are that the Pres. | ident will be the principal speaker, and the time for the event. There will be music beginning at 2 o'clock, and all visitors fortunate enough to have one of the 2,000 geats to be pro- vided in"the grandstand must be in thefr places by 245 o'clock. The other parts of the program probably will not be settled until the arrival of the royal party in New York May 26. Those working on the details, it is understood, are anxious that Crown Princess Louise of Sweden should pull the cord which will unfold the United States and Swedish flags to be draped over the memorial, when the public will get its first view of the first ded- fcation here of a combined granite and plaster memorial. It fs not belleved that the Crown Prince will take any part in the speaking program, but wiil' honor his former countrymen by placing o wreath on the memorial, which, it is xald, is the practice in the European countries. Many Fetes Planned. According to the present plans for the royal party, as made known at the Swedish legation here, they will be welcomed by the Mayor of New York, and, after spending the forencon there, will board a train in time to arrive at the National Capltal at § o'clock on the afternoon of May 27. 'They will be escorted directly from the Union Station to the Swedish le- | gation, where the royal party will make its home during {ts stay in Washington, and a number of recep- tions and entertainments in their honor are being planned. The Crown Prince and Princess Louise will remain in the Capital until 2 o'clock on the afternoon of May 81, when they will return to New | York, according to the present plans, and roake preparations for a tour of the United States. The memorial is located on the east bank of the Georgetown Channel of the Potomac River, in West Potomac Park, and approximately 1,000 yards south of the Lincoin Memorial, but a little closer to the Arlington Memo- rial Bridge when it will be com- pleted. Workmen now are tearing down the glass-inclosed house which was put over the 40-ton stone early in the Winter to permit the stone carvers, Ardoleno Brothers of New York, to work, but the house was never used. The house and ‘the stone had to be cleared out of the way to make space for the grandstand which will be erected for the ceremonies. The work of placing, the models also is under way, and further than this no work will be done on the memorial proper, the base of which, of white granite, is the only part of the permanent structure - in place, untll after the ceremionies.
