DEPARTMENT CREATED TO AID PUBLIC HEALTH National Institute Will Be Clearing House of New Developments By Cecil Owens (United press Staff Correspondent) Washington, June 25— (UP) — World leadership in me(lical_ research for the United S'ates is' expected by the United Stales Public Health Service to result from the creation by Congress of the National Institute of Health for which an appropriation of $750,000 has been authorised. Viewing the economic loss from Illness, estimated at more than sl,000,000,000 a year for this country alone, as a grave problem, Congress established the new institute with the intention it should become a world clearing house for modern medical knowledge. ■ I Tentative plans outlined by the I j Health Service, which is charged .' with administration of the new agency, call for construction of a modern hospital and research center in . tlie environs of Washington on a . site of about 20 acres witli ample . facilities to care for animals essen-l Hal in experimental research.

Objects of the'institute were summarized today as: (1) To promote! health, improve earning capacity, reduce living expenses, increase happiness, and prolong life of American citizens; (2) To prevent disease by learning Its cause and ap plying preventative measures in advance of its appearance; (3) To u< I as a clearing house where leading scientists of the world could ex change views and knowledge. Taking over the facilities of the existing hygenic laboratory of the Public Health Service which has been in existence since IXK7, the new institute with that as a foundation is expected to build a model medical research center that will save millions and contribute in tin told amounts to the world s medical progress. Among the leading problems to be studied will be the extent and i causes of such Illnesses ns the common cold which is estimated to ilfilet 50,000,000 persons annuall*v. Nutritional diseases, earner, Indus trial hygiene, all phases of physio logy and some aspects of mental hygiene problems, are also to he analysed. Plans for the institute are still in the formative stage, hew ever, tnd considerable expansion in the program is likely as the development proceeds.

CHILEAN TIDAL WAVE DESCRIBED BY STEVENSON Noted Traveler’s Diary Tells of Havoc Near Arica on August 13, 1868 By Harry W. Frantz (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, June 25 (I'l’l Inland more thun a quart r-mlle from Hie sea near Arica, Chile, are the fireboxes and boilers of a lost gun i boat, all that remains of tile U. S. S. Wateree. cast up by a gigantic tidal I wave on August x 3, IS6B. From old naval officers and fragments of consular reports one occasionally hears Hie lore of tills strange disaster, but now a complihe naratlve account and incidental observations are available In "A Traveller of the Sixties,” pub lislied by Constable and Co., Ixin-! .ion. The account is in the South! Americau diary of Frederick James Stevenson, an English traveler and adventurer; and lias come into pois -ssion of tlie University of Michigan. Among Stevenson’s many claims to posthumous interest is the fact that lie got Thomas L. Edison a job as newspaper boy on the Grand Trunk Railway.

Stevenson, deceased, reports In his diary, that at the time of the terrific earthquake and subsequent tidal waves there were in the Arica roadstead the English-built Perutian warship America, the United States gunboat Wateree, the United S. lies storeslilp Fredonia, the bark Chunarcillo of Liverpool the French bark Canton and some smaller vessels and also tin 1 English steamer Callao. All except tlie Canton and Callao Were lost, Stevenson arrived at Arica five days before tlie great quake. The Cliunai’clllo, he relates, with mast gone wui lying on her beamends some distance from the sea, wit II one side completely crushed I Near her was the Peruvian corvette! America, with her foremast gone and otherwise badly damaged. And at a considerable distance, I | think, 300 or 400 yards Inland," he jiontiiiues. "was tlie United State;, paddle-wheel gunboat Wateree, a flat-bottomed 'double euder" in an upright position, funnel ami masts standing and tlie Stars and Stripes still flying. Her crew were camped or bivouacked on Hie high sand hills I still further inland as it was thought ■ unsafe to keep them on board exposed to Hie danger of being overwhelpied by a fresh inroad of Hie sea.” On August 15, Stevenson visited tli Wateree, and talked with (hip tain Gillis (afterward admiral). Gillis' account of the catastrophe as transcribed by Stevenson, ran! as follows; "Some time after the great shock which was plainly and very stronglv

"At last the Wateree, the America and the Chanan 1110 were carried by an enormous overwhelming tidal wave up and over Hie land and left where we now see them, high ami dry on tlie lands mar the northern extremity of the bay.” o— — ■•t the H«biv —1 ran* at Homa Delightful, inow-white, odorless OVELMO CRIAM cools, soothes the skin Instcntly.
