One of the most notable figures in the realm of science and letters, Dr. Karl Sudhoff, director of the famous Insti- | tute of Medical History at Leipsig, Ger- | many, arrived in Washington yesterday as a guest of Dr. John A. Foote, dean of | the Georgetown University School of | Medicine. Dr. Sudhoff, alert and mentally vigor- ous at the age of 76, with an active m-l terest in many other sclences besides medicine, came to this country to ad- vise officials of Johns Hopkins Univer- sity on methods to be employed at the new department of history opened in Baltimore last Tuesday. Upon his de- parture from Washington he will lecture at Harvard, Cornell and other medical | centers. More than once indorsed for the Nobel prize in medicine, Dr. Sudhoff is historian. After many years of teaching Leipsig, he was made emeritus profes- known to scientific men the world over. Is Hieroglyphics Authority. His talents are by no means confined He is an authority in tian hieroglyphics found in crumbling papyri. He has devoted many years of his life to such researches. Among Dr. Sudhofl’s special interests, He says it was his interest in this period that drew his attention to the field of dealing with this Under his direction the Institute of Medical History at Leipsig made a specialty of finding and printing rare manuscripts in many languages, after a long research in the monasteries and city archives all over Europe, Great Britain, Asia and Africa, o, A man of varied tastes and talents, Dr. Sudhoff is an accomplished musi- cian and student of music. He is almost as well known in the sclence of botany as he is in the fleld of medicine. In odd moments, he has written on the philosophy of Goethe and such subjects as the “Rhymes of Sophocles.” Guest of Honor at Dinner, At the outbreak of the World War he was called to the German colors as a surgeon at the age of 65. While at the military hospital at Leipsig throughout the war he wrote to friends in Germany that the enemy wounded should receive exactly the same kind of treatment as his fellow countrymen. Despite his labors as a surgeon during this troubled period, Dr. Sudhoff was able to produce a two-volume work on “Contributions to Surgery of the Mid- dle Ages,” which is held by American authorities to be a masterpiece. He was the guest of honor at a dinner given by Dr. Foote last night at the University Club. Among those invited to meet him were Dr. W. Coleman Nevils, president of Georgetown Univer- sity; Rev. John L. Gipprich, dean of its medical school; Rev. Francis A. Ton- dorf, Dr. George M. Kober, dean emeri- tus; Lieut. Col. Fielding Garrison of the Army Medical Corps and the following members of the Georgetown executive faculty: Dr. John D. Hird, Dr. Wilfred M. Barton, Dr. Joseph P. Madigan, Dr. Nelson Gapen, Dr. Eugene Whitmore and Dr. Prentiss Willson. VILLAGERS PREPARED FOR PASSION PLAY period_are numerous, Oberammergau After Lapse of Eight Years.

The play starts at 8 in the morning and goes on until 6, with two hours for lunch. Many rooms and seats are already booked, which' is not surprising when one considers that there are no hotels in the place.

EARTH CENTER SOLID. German Scientists Complete Test to Determine Core’s Make-up, BERLIN (/).—Recent experiments indicating that the center of the earth’ | may be solid as a rock are announced by Prof. Franz Simon of the Physio- Chemical Institute of Berlin. Enormous pressure, a million times that of the air, he thinks, keeps the core of the earth hard even at its esti- { mated temperature of nearly 10,000 de- grees Fahrenheit. Prof. Simon's experiments agree with | the bellefs of geologists, many of whom | hold that the earth’s core is not molten or_gaseous. Simon heated helium to eight times the temperature that turns it into & gas and then reduced it while still | warm to a solid by applying pressure 16,000 times greater than that of air. MATIC THE.

THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., OCTOBER 20, 1929 PART ONE. I Capital Visitor I DR. KARL SUDHOFF. INDUSTRIAL SHOW DESCRIBED ON AR President Darr of Commerce | Chamber Stresses Evi- dences of Growth. ‘Washington’s fifth annual Industrial Exposition, which opens tomorrow with 112 different exhibits, was the subject of a radio talk given last night over Station WMAL by Charles W. Darr, president of the Chamber of Commerce, who stressed the amazing growth of the Natlonal Capital and its increasing importance as a business and commer- cial center for a constantly growing territory, The object of the exposition, Mr. Darr declared, is to “give all Washing- tonians a bird's-eye panorama of how | Washington has hit its stride in the | national march of progress.” Mr. Darr declared that the problem of commercial development in Wash- ington is one of greater “delicacy” than generally is the case. Because of its unique status among American citizens, he pointed out, it is necessary and desirable that Washington's industries be of a type “which will not interfere | with our purpose to make the National Capital a show place for the whole world to admire.” Need of Opportunities. On the other hand, he explained, it is necessary to have a sufficient amount of industry and commerce to insure proper opportunities for a growing generation and to supply the necessities of life 50 as to make the city in some measure independent of outside sources. “Many industries can be made phy- sically unobjectionable,” he said, “and t now is universally recognized that manufacturing estabiishments may be so planned and constructed as to fit in with the general character of a par- ticular neighborhood and become an asset .rather than a liability to the appearance of the community.” “Manufacturing output in Washing- ton is on the increase,” Mr. Darr said. “Trade is steadily growing. Jobs are becoming more numerous. Wage scales, are advancing. In short, as a business and industrial city, Washington may be sald to be coming of age.” Mr. Darr explained in detail the various kinds of exhibits at the forth- coming exposition and the organizations ind them. ‘While 80,000 visited last year’s expo- sition, he said, the Camber of Com- merce, which is promoting it, was confi- dent that the attendance would exceed 100,000 this seacon. Printing to Be Explained. An article on “The Printing and Allied Industries in the National Capi- | tal,” by Willlam John Eynon, president of the Typothetae of Washington, will blished in the official handbook of exposition. Copies will be dis- tributed at the Auditorium during the exposition period. { nting and the allied industries lead all others in Washington, Mr. Eynon stated in the article, the value of the roducts in this group in 1927 amount- fl)l 1o $31,653,457. This total, he states, represents about one-third of the com- bined value of all products manufac- tured in the District of Columbia in that year. Not only is the printing industry the largest, but it is one of the most rapidly growing. Frosts Harm Argentine Crop. By Cable to The Star.

Showing & lack of medical facilities in rural United States, which has caused the adoption of a new policy by the Red Cross in an effort to meet the vital need thus created, and indicating in general a material increase in the pub- lic health service and life-saving activi- tles of the Red Cross, the annual report of the organization is made public to- day through James L. Fieser, vice chairman. The vital need in at least 45 per cent of the counties of the United States for public health work has caused the change in policy, he announced. Formerly, it was explained, Red Cross public health nursing was for demon- stration purposes to interest municipali- ties or communities in providing this care for citizens. During the past year the Red Cross Public Health Nursing Service has been organized to remain rmanently in this fleld, with particu- ar attention to extending nursing care in rural communities. Doctors Becoming Fewer. Mr. Ficser stated that surveys show approximately 45 per cent of all coun- ties have no hospital for general com- munity use, that the supply of doctors is steadily decreasing in rural areas and that there are probably at least 1,000 counties without any public health nursing. Red Cross chapters now have 766 public health nurses in active service and during the past year the national organization and its chapters expended $747,477 for this work. “It may be worth while recording the principal activities of the nurses at the present stage of our work,” Mr. Fleser sald. “School nursing on a county-wide basis still remains the primary activity in a great majority of the Middle West- ern and Far Western States, while vis- iting nursing holds first place in the town services in the Eastern States. Among the lesser activities, two stand out in particular. The slogan to free our children from diphtheria has been spread all over the Nation by State health departments and many Red Cross nurses have had much to do with the actual work of getting the children immunized. Summer Work Cited. ““Another activity is the ‘Summer round-up®; everywhere our nurses have Joined with the authorities in making physically fit as many as possible of the younger children before their entry into school. - “A small beginning has been made in hourly nursing and maternity service by a few of our chapters, and we lend | every encouragement to growth of this :"ml‘::;‘ Total enrollment of nurses is Mr. Fieser also called attention to two other vital public services main- tained by the Red Cross. These are the home hygiene and care of the sick instruction courses, in which 1,551 nurses were engaged in the past year, and the nutrition service. Nutritionists conducted 4,739 classes during the year, teaching better food habits and com- batting such ailments as pellagra. The home hygiene instructors gave 42,234 certificates to adults and minors who were trained in this course, making a total of 543,337 persons who have graduated since 1914, Life Saving Service, ‘The Red Cross and life saving and first aid courses, which have been familiar to the public since their in- nmflm in 1910, reached a greater n r.of persons this past year than in any former year. The life savers entitled to wear the insignia of the Red Cross, showing they are trained in resuscitation and other means of life saving, now number 220,404. The first ald advanced courses have graduated 350,491 persons. Mr. Fieser pointed out that the pur- pose of these two courses is to teach instructors, in order that they, in turn, may hold classes. “They are all supported by the annual roll call for members in the Red , which is held from Armistice day to ‘Thanksgiving day,” he said, GERMAN SAVINGS GAIN.
