BY THOMAS R. HENRY. A rare new disease, fatal in the great | majority of cases, which may be rapidly increasing in the United States and which appears to be associated in some u;g Wwith carbon monoxide gas from au- torhobile exhausts and from other types of gas-producing machinery, is described in the current medical bulletin of the United States Veterans' Bureau. i This disease, agranulocytic angina was first recognized in Germany nine years ago. Since then scattered cases have been diagnosed in the United States, and the med bulletin records the striking case of a World War vet-; eran for whom -all hope had been given up, but who revived suddenly at the point of death. Whether gn experi- mental treatment adopted at that time was responsible for his recovery or whether the two were merely colnci- dental is not known. The disease is described as character- ized by three clinical features, First, there is almost a complete absence of polymorphoneucu! cells in the blood. These constitute about 70 per cent of the white blood cells. Normally they are manufactured in the bone marrov, which appears to suspend operations al- logether for some unknown reason. Secondly, gangrene makes its appear: ance, usually in the throat. The third feature is & prostrating fever. Most cases thus far encountered have de- veloped very rapidly, death following within & few ds Resembles Septic Infection. The remarkable Veterans Bureau case is reported by Drs. Henry A. Dykes | and M. T. Moorefield of the United States Veterans Hospital at Kansas City. In many ways, they report, “the disease resembles ptic infection, but no constant organism has ever been found. Polson gases have been thought to have a possible connection. The disease appears to be on an increase paralleling the increase in automobiles | and other gas-producing machinery. This has led some investigators to sus- pect that carbon monoxide or other products of combustion might play part. Two naval medical officers some very good experimental work in this connection after noting the occur- rence of agranulocytosts in a sailor who had been exposed to the gas from gun- fire. A group of men were subjected to blood examination before and after exposure to the gas from these guns. In many cases they noted a lowering of the count. The Kansas City case which they de- scribe was that of a young veteran wi had been employed since the war fireman on oil-burning locomotives and ! he Jimself regarded his condition as due to his long exposure to the gases pro- duced. He was admitted to the hospital | for & minor ailment and it was during | the course of this treatment that an in- | cidental blood test showed that the pol- umorphonuclear cells suddenly had al- most entirely disappeared. The gan- grenous condition of the throat and | mouth followed rapidly and in a few | days the man is described as “in ex- tremis, irrational, with a temperature of | 105 and puise of 140. There is no known treatment for the disease and | the man was given up for dead. | Recovery Proves Punle, At this time cultures of the mouth re- | vealed the presence of one of the strep- tococeus micro-crganisms and the. phy- sicians began subcutaneous injections |of the well known, anti-streptococcus {serum. The patient began to recover, within two days the missing white blood cells were reappearing and within a month he left the hospital in good con- dition. In feporting this cure, the two | physicians have no theory as to why the serum worked as it did, if the pa- tlent's recovery was not a coincidence. They question whether the strepto- coccus itself was at the bottom of the trouble, lthough it may have aggra- vated it, because other cases of which the diagnosis was just as clear failed to show this organism, but did show un- | related micro-organisms. Only repeated use of the serum would establish the cure as valid “Why.,” they say, “the bone marrow {cells of this man’s body went on strike and ceased the manufacture of poly- morphonuciear leucocytes is beyond our limited knowledge, and why these same cells should suddenly resume their out- pouring when life seemed at its very lowest ebb is-even more perplexing. It seems quite possible that poisonous | | gases, acting over a period of months | |or years, might injure the bone marrow | |cells to an extent that would render | further leucocytogenesis impossible.” Few Recoveries Reported. Earlier reports of this disease, they | | point out, showed an approximate 90 per cent mortality. Recently there have been a few recoveries besides that of the | i 1 | { | versity Hospital in Baltimore a case has been found with cyclic recoverles and relapses extending over many years. First described as a disease entity by | the German physician, Warner Schulz, |in 1922, they peint out, agranulocytic angina probably hes been in existence for a much longer period and a very similar condition was pictured in Ger- many as far back as 1907, at the very | dawn of the carbon mcnoxide era. It { may be, they say, that minor upsets in | ibe bone marrow mechanism which vents the manufacture of the b) | cells are fairly common, but cause little discomfort and go unn-ticed except when they become suddenly aggravated. “On the other hand,” the report coi cludes, it may develop that this is & new and rapidly increasing disease.” FATHER DINEEN NAMED HEAD OF G.

By the Associated Press. GRAND FORKS, N. Dak., August 21 | —Alexapder Legge, former Federal Farm Board chalrman, said yesterday he believed the effect of any Farm Board wheat distribution to the needy would be chiefly psychological and would make little impression upon its huge surplus supply. “A feeling of confidence must be inspired in the people, and if it takes the Parm Board wheat to do it, why that can be used,” said Legge, here on business. “I never have been much in faver of giving things away,” he continued, “for I think people appreciate them more if they cost something. But if it becomes necessary, and there are gol to be a lot of calls for help this Winter, I think every man who needs it should be given a sack of flour. There is no cese on record of a man starving to death with a sack of flour in his house. “We must kill this talk about peopie starving tc death while their Govern- mfi:’z holds millions bushels of wheat.” PROHIBITION STUDY IN COLLEGES PLANNED Association Plans Forums Reach- ing Directly 500 Institutions During Year. A campaign to enlist college students in a prohibition study has been an- nounced here by Harry S. Warner, gen- eral secretary of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association. Concluding plans for the drive, War- ner said last night, will be made in Washington on September 25 at a con- ference of secretaries of the association with college professors and students. The association plans to hold forums “reaching directly 500 colleges during the Warner asserted. The first of se will be at Columbus, Ohlo, pn October 17 and 18. As this announcement was made Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington, general secre- tary of the World League Against Alco- holism, issued a statement asserting that “wood alcohol poisoning is utterly without any relation to prohibition.” He said that Rumania, which has no prohibition law, “has been forced to adopt drastic measures to prevent the people from being poisoned by drinking | wood alcohol.

David Sami- ran, a native of the British-owned Island of Cyprus, who entered the Army | when the United States joined the | World War. ‘The segregator, which may be, at- | tached either to airplanes or gasoline storage tanks, was the result of seven part. It already has been adopted by the Army and Navy as standard equip- ment and is said to cfler wide possi- bilities in the flelds of air transport and private civilian fiying. ‘The operating principle of the segre- gator takes advantage of the natural tendency of gasoline and water to sepa- rate, due to the difference in spec gravity. This separation is facilitated, | however, by the special design of the | interior of the fuel chamber, which di- rects the flow so that the water is de- livered to the bottom with a minimum of ‘turbulence, while the is drawn off through an outlet at the top. The water is discharged automatically by the operation of a simple float valve mechanism, operating on the principle |of a “differential buoyancy.” There is no limit to the size of the invention, in Samiran’s opinion. He already had constructed one which can fit in the best pocket and contemplates models that will have an hourly ca- pacity of thousands of gallons. Samiran, who came to this country in 1911 and started work as an oiler in the engine room of the old Waldorf- Astoria Hotel, conceived the idea for | his invention while on duty at Prance Field, Panama Canal Zone, in 1924, 'PAINT STORE SAFE IS ROBBED OF $100 Chisels and Machime Hammer Used at 710 Twelfth Street, En- tered Through Roof.

At the same time it granted a hearing | to the International Mercantile Marine- Roosevelt Steamship Co., which has pro- tested acceptance of a “modified” bid from the Chapman interests.

In the meantime, the Franklin in- terests (International) have reguested & hearing, which has been set for 10 o'clock next Wednesday morning.” The term “working out” was inter- preted to mean translating the bid into formal legal phraseology. O'Connor returned last night from New York, where he received a protest from P. A. S. Pranklin, president of the I. M. M. Roosevelt Co. against per- mitting Paul W.
