For his part in the Cohongurc oration, the senior president a in Indian costume, for ther | legend that the name Cohonguroton | was given the Potomac River by its red skin neighbors of three centurles ago.

Agriculture commissioners from 13 cotton-growing States will meet here today for a three-day session at .the | Raleigh Hotel. The commissioners | are banded together in an association | of which Commissioner Harry D, Wil- | son of Louisiana is chairman. They are meeting to discuss their common problems and to consult with Fed- eral administrative and legislative of- ficlals about their solution. The commissioners plan to take a Potomac River boating trip today. Tomorrow they will appear before the Senate Agriculture Committee and Tuesday before the House Agri- culture Committee. At a luncheon tomorrow, Secretary Wallace will be guest of honor, and the commissioners will hold a dinner meeting tomor- row night at the Raleigh. One of the chief problems the commissioners seek to discuss is the trend of industrial development toward the South, particularly in the chemical industries. Another ques- tion is that of discriminatory freight rates, about which nine Southern Governors recently complained to the Interstate Commerce Commission. WINDSOR, BRIDE BEGINHOME LIFE Duchess Busy Moving as Pair Settle Down to Do- mestic Existence. By the Associated Press. NOETSCH, Austria, June 5—The Duke of Windsor and his bride today found the peace and privacy for which he asked when they were married Thursday. They settled .down to domestic life in old Wasserleonburg Castle in Southern Austria’s Dobratsch Moun- tains. ‘There were no visitors. Birds sang in the nearby woods. Golden sunshine lay on the square, ancient castle. Southward, across the valley of the Gail River, snow glistened on the heights of the Julian Alps and feath- ery clouds clung to the peaks. It was perhaps the greatest peace the former British King had ever found. The duchess, the former Wallis Warfleld of Baltimore, bustled about the big rooms of the castle in a fig- ured house dress. She was in search of the many old dust-gathering knick- knacks and ornaments with which the building was littered. Relics Stored Away. Up to the attic they went, to be stored away—deer horns, elephant tusks, a hippopotamus head and stuffed pheasants among them. For the moment at least she left on the walls the large portraits of the “Lady Bluebeard” and her six husbands, who lived in the castle in the sixteenth century. Legend has it the ghosts of the six come back to haunt the castle, for the wife is supposed to have killed them, one after another, soon after marriage. Their bones are bur- ied beneath the castle. The duke- presided in baronial style over the little community on KENTUCKIANS TO MEET Lieut. Gov. Johnson to Be Guest of University Alumni. Lieut. Gov.

Father and Son Must Go to Jail On Week Ends Probationary Terms Are Imposed for Drunkenness. By the Associated Press. MACON, Ga., June 5—A. L. Jones and J. A. Jones, father and son, were under sentence today to spend every week end for the next six months in the Bibb County Jail. Both pleaded guilty to charges of drunkeness. Each was fined $50 and also placed under probationary sentences of 12 months on a chain gang by Judge Earl W. Butler. “Circumstances in the case were very aggravated,” the judge said. From Monday morning until 1 p.m. each Saturday the two will be free to pursue their work. The week ends will be spent in jail. The elder Jones is & printesy n TH L. P.

His staft included two Scotland Yard detectives, his equerry, Austrian and English maids, the duke's Austrian chef and the other attend- ants who remained when the owner, the German Count Muenster, turned the chateau over to the couple. Finances Seem Settled. Dudley Forwood, the equerry, took much of the routine of setting up housekeeping off the newlyweds’ hands, leaving them free to enjoy the place. The duke is living in a grander style than on his two previcus stays in Austria, indicating, perhaps, that he has settled financial questions and is returning to the comforts to which he was accustomed -as Prince of ‘Wales and King of England. Of the 25 gendarmes watching the estate, only 1 stood guard at the base of the mountain pass leading to the castle. He said no one had passed. Below Wasserleonburg, 200 peasant residents of Neutsch proceeded with their usual tasks of farming and wood cutting, unmindful of the arrival of the new master and mistress of the castle. Vicar at Windsor Rites Officiates at Humble Wedding By the Assoclated Press. DARLINGTON, England, June 5.— Back home from France, where he married the Duke and Duchess of Windsor Thursday, Rev. R. Anderson Jardine officiated today at the wed- ding of a humble coach painter and his Derbyshire flancee. Police were needed to control the crowd which jammed &8t. Paul's Church to see George Gamble and Doris Haylett united in marriage by the “poor man's parson,” who defled Church of England leaders to bless the wedding of his former King. ‘The vicar expressed confidence there would be no disciplinary action against him for his part in Windsor's marriage and announced he would explain his reasons for performing the ceremony at the evening service to- morrow night. 1937—PART ONE. Hormone Which May Ease Heart Degeneration Described Effective in Prolonging Lives of Af- flicted Animals, Therapeutic Society Is Told. Bs the Assoctated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, June 5—| A new heart hormone which may aid materially in prolonging the lives of sufferers from one form of heart dis- ease was announced today before the American Therapeutic Society. In a paper summarizing six years of work on the hormone, Dr. Albert S. Hyman of New York City stated he had found it effective in prolong- ing the lives of dogs and rabbits suf- fering from fatty degeneration of the heart and voiced the hope it would have a similar effect on human beings. The hormone, known as “cardio- lypin A” is apparently an essential factor in the normal working of the hearts of all animals, the New York physician said. . He obtained it from the hearts of turtles and Maine salmon and found that if it was left standing for a per- iod of several weeks or exposed to sunlight it changed color and degen- erated into a material which he called “‘cardiolypin B.” The latter material resembles some materials extracted from human hearts which failed because of accu- mulations of fai, Dr. Hyman said. “The theory arises, therefore, that fatty degeneration of the heart may be & possible breakdown process of the heart hormone and the loss of the latter contributes to the func- tional inefficiency and diseases of the heart,” He added. Use of the new heart hormone may make it possible in the future to pre- vent death from heart failure due to fat accumulations by injections of the new’ hormone in the same way that death from diabetes is prevented by injections of the insulin hormone, physicians who heard Dr. Eyman's report asserted. Such injections might work on humans in the same way that they have s0 far on dogs and rabbits, Dr. Hyman stated, by providing them with the substance necessary for their hearts to continue to beat normally. Treatment of Migraine Headaches. Meanwhile, a New York physician told the closing session of the Amer- ican Veurological Association that suc- cessful use of the drug ergotamine tartrate in the treatment of migraine headaches during the last two years Justifies more widespread use of it in the future. Great relief of patients who often are incapacitated by these throbbing general headaches apparently comes, Dr. Harold G. Wolff declared, by action of the drub in constricting the cranial arteries and the éxternal carotid artery running from the neck over the back and top of the head. Declines in the severity of these headaches “went hand in hand with a 40 to 80 per cent decrease” in pulsations of the branches of this carotid artery after the drug was ad- ministered, he added. “If the de- crease in pulsation was slow, ®he| headaches decline was slow. If the headaches disappeared rapidly, the pulsations decreased rapidly.” Dr. Charles A. Elsberg of New York City, professor of surgery at Columbia University and neuro-surgeon at the Neurological Institute of New York was elected president of the associa- tion, succeeding Dr. Henry H. Don- aldson of Philadelphia, who was named a councillor. Physicians Gather for Session.
