PRESS CURB URGED 10 STOP LOTTERIES Foreign Gambling Schemes Aided by Publicity, U. S. Officials Say. B the Associated Press. The finger of the Federal Govern- ment was lifted yesterday against Amer- ican participation in forelgn sweep- stakes—congidered by officials a gamble making the Louisiana lottery of old seem a “mere pigmy” in comparison, Solicitor Donnelly sought the co- operation of newspapers in a campaign already begun in response to protests piled literally feet upon feet in depart- ment files. “It is the intention of this department to strictly enforce the drastic provisions of the statute against lotteries,” Don- nelly said in a formal statement, “with a view to breaking up an unlawful practice which recently has grown to | such huge proportions in American | cities, towns and villages, as to border | on a national disgrace.” Cites Provisions of Law. Calling attention to~ the specific language of the law, the solicitor said it barred from the malils any public: tion listing “any part or 'all” of prizes offered in any lottery or chance scheme. This would include newspapers printing the name of one winner. Officials interpret the laws as safe- guards against the robbery of thousands/ to pay big prizes to & few. In recent months foreign sweepstakes have spread their operations like mushrooms in the G sion bridge ccnstruction has been applied to architecture. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON,' D. C, JUNE 21, ' Will House the Story of Transportation UNIQUE STRUCTURE TO BE ERECTED AT WORLD FAIR. RADUALLY the outline of the immense Travel and Transpori Building of the Century of Progress takes shape at Chicago. When completed for the 1933 World Fair there will be four groups of three towers each 150 feet high. Here is an exterior view of the dome, which will be 125 feet high and 200 feet in diameter—the big- gest unobstructed space that has ever been inclosed. This so-called “breathing” dome, which expands or con- Vi Ve ver each other. This is the first time that suspen- tracts with weather changes, is made of plates that slide over e: b e g ot United States, it was said, and officials believe the growth has been abeted by | publicity given free to the venturesand | o the famous sporting events on which they often are based. Along with such sweepstakes other | chance enterprizes are being worked. The department has issued a fraud order against an organization preparing ! to employ—from another country—the same “sweepstake” methods in connec- tion with the forthcoming Nation open | golf tournament of the United States. Total Huge Sums, On the big sporting events the sweeps operators draw prize coupons from great revolving drums, paying off the in- dividuals who sold the tickets as well as the holders. This year a new system was provided to give more prizes. In one enterprise in connection with a | British horse race the subscriptions were $15,000,000, the prizes a total of about $10,000,000. There were about 2,900 prizes for a race in which only %5 horses were entered. Officials consider this plain robbery ©f thousands to pay to & very few big | prizes. It is believed that the enter- prises could not grow as they have |3 recently without the free advertising they have received in American news- papers. Many of the enterprises are “pure fake” in the eyes of officials. One that | came to notice was to organize “a club,” in which thousands would buy tickets | on the chance of being named an offi by a lottery draw with a big “salar: prize. g ARMY ORDERS Col.

B. Duel, New York City, Demonstrates Treatment Before Society. By the Associated Press. HOLMES, N. Y., June 20.—Victims of faeial paralysis, one of the most com- mon of nerve injuries, are offered means of relief as a result of a new and im- proved treatment disclosed here today. The treatment, developed by S Charles Ballance of London, and Dr. Arthur B, Duel of New York, was dem- onstrated at the last session of the American Otological Soclety at Dr. Duel's country home, where he main- tains an experimental laboratory. Re-establish Nerve. ‘The method is an operation which consists in the re-establishment of nerve continuity and function through use of nerve grafts taken from another liv- ing nerve, a more elastic body nerve which, when stretched and tied, re- sumes its normal function. Sir Charles, who had for his master in surgery the illustrious Lister among other research has devoted more than 35 years to improvement of surgical treatment of facial paralysis. the facial nerve, are numerous—disease of the middle ear, injuries of various sorts, gunshot wounds, fractures of the skull, disease of the temple bone, tu- mors and cold and fatigue. The face in consequence is greatly disfigured. In cases not subject to ordi- nary medical treatment, surgery is applied. The first surgical treatment of a human case was performed in 1895 by Sir Charles in England. ‘This treat- Sanitary Metal Refrigerator $19.95 metal—sanitary and practical. 8- Door model with generous food and ice compartments. 7 Rugs Causes of facial palsy or paralysis of | day. 1931—PART ONE. ment consisted of together of & functioning nerve with the crippled facial nerve. The new facial nerve took root and began to function through the nerve to which it was attached. This treatment overcame facial pal- sey, but it had certdin disadvantages that there occusfed movements of other muscles, not only of the face but of those supplied by the anastomized nerve. Furthermore certain muscles were alyzed which had nothing to do_with the face. During the last year's research Sir Charles and Dr. Duel evolved an opera- tion which will cure facial Pu,uy with- out incurring these disabilities. Worked on Animsls. ‘The research work was conducted on baboons, rhesus monkeys, cats and large frogs ‘a the seciuded Ducless County laboratory of Dr. Duel. About 150 operations were performed during the tests. One case from Dr. Duel's clinie at the Manhattan -Eye, Ear and oat Hospital, New York, the only human yet operated upon by this method, was exhibited at the meeting today. The graft used in this case was 27 milli- meters long. About 100 members of the American Otological Society and a number of distinguished neurological physicians saw the demonstration today.
