NEW LEPROSORIUM IS BEING ERECTED Hospital on Island of Cebu Will Conquer Disease, Scien- tists Believe. MANILA (#).—A new leprosorium is being bullt on the Island of Cebu which some scientists believe will lead to a victory over leprosy, one of mankind's oldest and most dreaded afflictions. Philippine leprologists are certain that the new hospital will result in important discoveries about the disease. The problem of contagion, that is, why the disease infects one person and misses others, has never been explained. Cebu being a relatively small island, where there is little shifting in the population, the new leprosorium will enable the scientists to make a close study of these two matters for the first time. This has not been possible at Culion, the big leper colony in the Philippines, because with virtually every patient brought there the disease has been in progress for some time, and also the patients there come from many parta of the islands and the conditions under which they contracted lep: cannot e investigated accurately. ‘The Cebu leprosorium was made pos- sible through the generosity of an American philanthropist, Eversly Childs of New York City. He contributed $186,000 toward the Leonard Wood Memorial for the Eradication of Lep- rosy, but stipulated that the money was to be used for the construction of a hospital at Cebu. MEXICO’S OUTPUT OF OIL DECREASES MEXICO CITY (#).—The steady de- crease in Mexican ofl production has caused this country to drop from sec- ond to fourth on the list of the world's leading producers. The petroleum sec- tion of the department of the interior believes that the decrease will continue for several months, | This prediction is based on the grad- ual fall of production last year and jon the uncertain condition of the world’s oil markets, especially that in - the United States,*which country leads cansumpuun as well as production oil. The uncertainty, according to the Mexican government's announcement, is due to the fact that oil production in the United States, restricted during the major part of last year, now is in- creasing enormously, hence the relation between consumption and production in the United States is being altered great- ly. ‘This, the government figures, is . bound to affect Mexican production. ! Mexico produced 50,150,610 barrels of oil in 1928, amounting to 13,970,532 barrels less than the production in 1927. | Furthermore, the production showed a | steady decrease in 1928, dropping from | 4,769,845 barrels in January (o 3,748, | 073 barrels in December. in of ———— g Large oil fields are being developed ia Peru. .
