SINTATIONALED *HODKWORN CLRE Parasitic Infection Rapidly Acquired and Quickly Lost, | Texan Educator Says. P the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 29.—Sanitary feforms were emphasized today by Dr. sa C. Chandler of Rice Institute, ouston, Tex., as an important means pf reducing hookworm infection, which Rffects large groups in the United Ptates. Citing observations he has made in India, he told members of the Ameri- ran Association for the Advancement of | Bcience that the theory that these arasites are slowly acquired and slow- y lost is unsound. Instead, he declared, ean that improvement in the level of okworm infection after sanitary re- forms would follow rapidly.” It has been demonstrated, he said, ghat treatment to expel them without easures to prevent reinfection is fol- wed by a mere temporary reduction of the infection. In countries with a fong dry season treatments to expel the parasites should be given at the end bf the dry season rather than the end pf the wet season, he said. Locates Garden of Eden. ‘The Garden of Eden was located in Central Asia in a paper by Dr. George ullivan of the American University be- ore the Archeological Institute of erica. Saying that in the past it had een theoretically discovered in Baby- Jonia, Europe and Africa, he gave nine reasons for a new belief in Central Asia, They were based largely on re- pent discoveries in the Gobi Desert, es- pecially those of Roy Chapman An- firews. They included discovery in Asia of the oldest human remains dating ck half a million years, the oldest uman teeth, found near Peking, house- ld trinkets estimated at 150,000 years pld and the fact that two anthropoid Bpe species originated in Asia. If folks were unable to oppose their thumbs, which means to place them :aalnst finger tips, in picking up things, here might be less tooth troubles and jseases that enter via the mouth. t through highly developed use of inds, Dr. Charles A. Kofoid of the University of California said to the American Society of Parasitologists, the uman mouth is open to more kinds of ection than any other part of the dy. Dr. Kofoid discussed late de- velopments in the study of pyorrhea, ying it is produced by at least two dentified types of single cell animals. Recent discovery that one of these, Eflchomonn.s buccalis, was widespread some types of pyorrhea, he said, Was a surprise. New Biology Theories. Dr. William Morton Wheeler, dean of ssey Institution, Harvard University, ld of new tendencies in the theories biology, which is the science of liv- Ing. He said that mechanism had been the main foundation in the past, and that the “organistic” conception now ing into use probably would recon- gile copflicting theories. This new con- ception is based on study of how beings Rnd society are organized. Dr. Wheeler paid “we had better preserve discreet Bnd absolute silence” about such things :; “entelechies psychoids,” which he d not define. Prof. Franz Boas of Columbia Uni- Wersity related the facts collected in recent years indicating that the original Indian inhabitants of both Americas migrated here from Siberia or Asia, and that they all were probably from the priginal Mongolian race.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 29.—Plucked Statistical Association's meeting today among the stars, ‘The center of the universe has been found. clusion that the nucleus of the earth’s galaxy of stars, of which the sun is an infinitesimal member, is in the con- stellation Sagittarius, Prof. Harlow Shapley, of Harvard said. The earth is estimated to be about 47,000 light years distant from this cen- ter of the universe. ‘The observations which led to the discovery were obtained from study on Harvard astronomical photographic plates of several hundred stars. ‘The implication of the discovery, Prof. Harlow explained, is that the Milky Way is all one great galaxy of stars, shaped like two plates, face to nucleus which is five kiloparsecs in thickness. (A kiloparsec is approximate- ly 6,200 light years, figuring the travel of light at 186,000 miles a second.) SINGER AND DOCTOR Mme. Irene Pavloska Guarantees His Alimony Payments for Five Years. By the Associated Press. Pavloska, soprano of the Chicago Civic Opera Co. today was married to Dr. Maurice Elias Mesirow, eye and ear specialist, after she had signed a con- tract guaranteeing payment of alimony for five years to Dr. Mesirow's former wife who obtained a divorce yesterday. The ceremony was performed by Fisher, who yesterday fnquest in Gastonia Fire, in Which Five Members of Family Died, Is Continued. By the Associated Press. GASTONIA, N. C., December 29.— J. W. Vanderburg, wealthy Gaston County farmer whose charred body was found with four other members of his family in the smoking ruins'of his home near here early yesterday, had a premo- lpition of death, a coroner’s jury was told y. The inquest, which began this morn- ing, was continued ‘until January 5, jafter an hour and a half of testimony, ‘When officers asked for additional time #o gather evidence. Meanwhile, Jacob {Vanderburg, 17, only surviving member f the family, was held in the county ail without bond pending the outcome f the inquest. A. P. Bumgardner, neighbor of the Vandenburgs, related on the stand today & conversation he had several months ago_with the elder Vanderburg. “You don’t know what I have to put fp with,” Bumgardner said Vanderburg ‘told him. “He (Jacob) is getting worse mh? time. We can’t do anything with —can't reason with him. He has an awful temper when he gets angry. I am just looking for him to kill some ©of us or all of us some time.” ‘When he ran down to the scene of ‘the fire, Bumgardner said he could see the botiles of J. R. Vanderburg, his wife, his two daughters, Louise and Pauline 'Vanderburg, and his son, Robert Van- | :erburg, piled on the blazing kitchen loor. Jacob was arrested yesterday morning ‘when officers arrived on the scene and found him sitting in front of the house on the roadside. He carried a shotgun and a suitcase packed with his and his father's clothes. In his pockets were two medicine jars with $41 in cash in the mud. ELOPING PREACHER Pastor, 63, and Girl, 20, Claim Judge Harry signed the decree lxel:lnl Dr. Mesirow after litigation in which the signer had been named by Mrs. Eda Mesirow as corespondent in an earlier suit. Mme. Pavloska had to sing tonight in “La Boheme,” her favorite opera. An awkward situation was averted when Mrs. Mesirow arrived in the corridor outside Judge Fisher’s office almost at the moment the bridal party appeared. She had come to the county building to see about papers in connection with her decree, apparently unaware of the wedding, Her attorney intercepted her ding party approached. Yesterday Mrs. Mesirow dropped the separate maintenance suit and filed suit for divorce charging desertion and making no mention of the singer. Attorneys said the singer and Mrs. Mesirow met with Judge Fisher yes- terday in the absence of the doctor and reached their agreement. Part of it was that the singer guar- anteed the payment of $45 a week ali- mony.to the former wife by the doctor for five years. Mrs. Mesirow eed not to sue Mme. Pavloska for alien- ation of affections and the singer agreed not to sue Mrs, Mesirow for slander.
