That will be the next step in the experiments. Havoc of Plagues. The European typhus, far more deadly than the American form, is believed to have been one of the “plagues” which periodically killed off thousands of people during past centuries. During and after the World War it took a se- v toll in many European nations. The European typhus is a disease of un- cleanliness, carried by body lice. Typhus and typhoid fever long were believed to be the same disease, and were not differentiated until about 1850, The American form of typhus is “el demic’—with cases constantly occur- ring, but no great spread of the dis- ease as in an epidemic. In preparing the new vaccine, the fleas first were allowed to feed on rats infected with typhus. then were made into an emulsior a basis for the ver, W. G. Werk- and L. F.

BLAKESLEE, Assoclated Press Sc e Editor. ITHACA, N. Y., June 20.—Discovery that the cause of the world's great lo- cust plagues is due to the strange effect of “crowding” upon a small group of harmless “isolated” grasshoppers was made public at Cornell University last night. There is special American significance | because of scientific predictions, already | partly fulfilled, that 1932 is likcly to be America’s worst locust period in 70 vears. The discovery was made by Dr. J. C. Faure, a Cornell graduate, while in Pretoria, South Africa. He has filed his findings here with Dr. G. W. Her- rick, Cornell entomologist, and has gone to Minnesota to learn whether the New World hoppers develop like the African kind, as suspected. Shape and Color Changes.
