Staff Correspondent) Chicago, Mar. 12, —(United Press) •—The location of the next meeting places of the Republican and Democratic National conventions is attracting considerable attention through the middlewest. This probably is due to the sentiment through the middle-west for various middle-western men who have been mentioned as presidential possibilities on both major tickets. Among the middle-western men who have been mentioned as possibilities are Governor Vic Donahey of Ohio and Senator James A. Reed of Missouri for the Democratic nomination; former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois and Vice President Charles G. Dawes for the Republican nomination. Cleveland is known to be looking hopefully to having the Republican National convention tpere again in 1928. The 1921 convention was run smoothly in Cleveland and various moves are underway, it is understood, to have the convention return there next year. Chicago is always a possibility. Facilities are sufficient here to care for the conventions and it is pointed out that nether party has a sufficiently strong control of the city to make it classified as either a Republican or Democratic city. The Coliseum in Chicago has had several national conventions, the last of which nominated the late President Harding. No concerted moves have been started to bring the convention here this year but Chicago always has been receptive to the conventions. St. Louis has been mentioned aS $ possibility for the Democratic National convention. It'has been a number of years since a national convention was held in St. Louis despite the tact that facilities are plentiful there for the convention The Coliseum in St. Louis is of sufficient size to house the delegates and hotel facilities are plentiful. The sentiment in the middle-west Ms more or less’ crystalized against an eastern convention in 1925. Through the corn belt area the sentiment has turned against the east through failure of farm relief.

DEARTH CASE IS CONTINUED Arguments On Petition To Remove Judge Are Continued Until Monday Indianapolis, March 12. — (United Press.) — Arguments on the petition for a writ of prohibition to remove Judge Clarence Dearth from the bench of the Delaware county court will be resumed Monday morning before the state supreme court, it was announced today. The petition was submitted by Thomas V. Miller, Muncie attorney, who contended in arguments before the court yesterday that Judge Dearth was illegally holding office since the lime of his impeachment by the state legislature. Frederick Van ' Nuys, attorney for Judge Dearth, was expected to argue against the petition at the afternoon session of court Friday but failed to put in an apeparanee for his efient. The court then withheld decision on whether it will accept the petition and order arguments continued Monday. If the court accepts the petition and issues the writ for removal of Judge

Dearth ho will be shorn of his judicial powers until trial before the senate on March 21. A two thirds senate vote convicting i him of the charges of misuse of his | office would make the removal of < Judge Dearth permanent and an ac- , quittai by the senate would restore | him to his office. o I Contention That Timidity :j Is Disease Discountenanced| By Jury In Paris Court Patis (United Press) —Is timidity a'] disease? A Paris jury has decided it j is not in spite of expert declarations, to tlie contrary. The jury was called on to judge the' guilt or innocence of Dr. Phillip Mar-1 tinie, accused of practising medicine illegally because his assistant in the application of a method to cure timidity, Jean B. Detriteaux, was not a qualified practitioner. The method of Dr. Martinie, who is a specialist in nervous diseases, consists in having the patient, when he goes to bed in complete darkness, repeat until he falls asleep one of eight formulas printed on luminous plaques.! The first night he sees the formula “I am calm.” He continues to repeat this until his eyes close. For the second night the magic words are: “I am entirely at ease.”| Ard so on. giadua ly ;.:i..iing control of his nerves until on the eighth | night he can say with eertaliity:: “I am afraid of nothing”. Then he is cured. M. Detriteaux was concerned chiefly in the sale of the plaques. Neverthe less the authorities considered that Dr. Martinie was acting against the law. Professor Balthazar declared in court that timidity is a nervous disease which in certain cases is the precursor of insanity, especially in young persons. Thp defence ridiculed this, asserting that it often is noticed in perfectly healthy persons. The jury agreed. —— o League Os Nations To Investigate Causes Os Cancer Throughout World By Henry Wood (I’uited Press Staff Cm respondi'iit i Geneva (United Press) The League of Nations has assigned itself the task' cf ascertaining to what extent cancer is a matter of geography and race. | With over 700,000 people dying annually from this stourage, the pro’tlem is one of the most important that has been undertaken by the international health organization of the League. While the theory lias lang been held that cancer is less frequent and less deadly in certain countlies and with certain races that witli others, efforts to arrive at any scientifically estabCHILDREN'S NICUT COUGHS Stopped Almost Instantly Children very frequently have spoils of night coughing due to bronchial Irritations or while suffering from colds.

lished conclusions have met with serious obstacles. In the first place the different manner in different countries of diagnosis, registration and the establishing of statistics rendered comparison difficult and in the second place the problem was too great for individual physicians or scientists to undertake alone. With the preparatory work already doin' by the International Health Organization of the League in providing for a common system of statistics in a great many countries and witli the whole organization of the League back of it, it la believed that definite results can now lie obtained. Tlie investigation will last for a year at least and will embrace virtually the entire world. It will have as a basis certain results that iiave aJready been obtained in Europe and which indicate that geography ami race play a very important role in the matter of cancer. These observations today show that the northern races of Europes are the heaviest sufferers from cancer. The Celtic race is less seriously affected while the races of tho Iberian pennisula and the Island races are least afflicted. As regards the island populations these of the northern islands have a great deal more cancer that those on the Mediterranean islands. That this tendency to have cancer is not memely a matter of geography
