INEWTEXTBOOKS TO BE CHOSEN Governor Urges Education Keep Pace With Changing Times Indiana polls, Ind , March 2 (UP) —The state board ot education must keep step with advancemenu in science and history in adoption of school text books, Gov. Pau! V. Me-1 Xutt «aid in his weekly radio add I rose yesterday. Citing tile receiving of bids on new texts by the state board this week, the governor pointed out that new books probably will be adopted because .present texts have become obsolete.” “So much is haippenlng in the 1 fi ld of science, history and uocial development that few books in use a decade ago are suitable for classroom use today” he said. "The p u ople of Indiana however, an depend upon the state board to adopt books which not only aro the most Adaptable to modern education but aso are the most economic-. al.” Books to be adopted tor the next | five years are those for georgraphy, Physicology. History, Grammar and Home Economics classes. o TESTS MINIMIZE LEPROST PERILS Berkeley, Cal. (U.R) Efforts to keep alive the causative organism of leprosy have virtually established the fact that the disease is not contagious. That is the conclusion of Dr. A. J. Salle, assistant professor of bacteriology at the University of California. Taking as a basis for his work clinical tests that had been made at the Kalihi Leprosy Hospital. on the outskirts of Honolulu. Dr. Salle successfully checked them for six months at the Federal legrosarium at Carville. La. The original experiments at the Honolulu institute were directed i toward keeping alive the causative I organism of leprosy for a sufticient- , ly long period to study its developi ment and possibilities of treatI ment. Along these lines considerable progress has been made. I It was these experiments that I Dr. Salle rechecked at Carville. La. Bacteria taken from 11 subjects I not only produced the same results I in each case, but identical results i with those obtained at Honolulu. I The organisms removed from living subjects by Dr. Salle were plac- . ed in embryonic chicken tissue culture. These embryos were drawn from fertile eggs, prepared by I mincing and converted into a cul- ■ lure in biological fluids. The leprosy organisms were placI ed in this culture and have survivied there, thus giving opportunity I for definite identification and the I possible development of a curative

“MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM” COMING TO CORT THEATRE Max Reinhardt Film Masterpiece to Open Engagement Here on March 19 Decatur will see the much discussed Max Reinhardt production A Midsummer Night's Dream." according to Don Leßrun. manager of the Corl Theatre, who has just completed arrangements for the preset)'.ition of the Warner Bros, film masterpiece The picture will be under the auspices of the Civic Section of the Woman’s Club. Heralded as the greatest motion picture ever filmed, and produced on an unprecedented scale • bo: a 1 - ;- - -

comedy masterpiece will be shown here as a ■special attraction with all seats reserved. ‘ Our present plan is to show the picture on March 19 and 20. land to present it twice daily. “This is the first time in a num her of years a.ny screen production has been ‘road showed.'," Mr. LeHrun continued. “Decatui is one of the few cities that will have the privilege of seeing this production this year, as the general release date is many months in the future." “A Midsummer Night's Dream" is the first motion picturre ever to be made by Prof. Reinhardt, the genius who staged the mighty theatrical spectacle "Tile Miracb ." and it was only after many month of persuasion that Warner Bros, were able to prevail upon him to film the "Dream," which he produced so successfully in Hollywood (and San Francisco. To stage the (Lhllet he brought to this country Bronisiawa. Nijinska, whom he considers the outstanding Maitro de Ballet in Europe. For ballerina lie would have no one but Nina /i'heilade, protege and successor of Pavlowa, and premiere, dansemc of many of Europe's foremost ballets.. To adapt the music of MendeGsohn, who originally wrote the score of the stage production Reinhardt insisted upon Erich Wolfgang Korngold. one of Vienna's mod fatnou, compotcr:-. As his assistant. in charge ot technical details he selected Wil-

agent. Efforts to inoculate leprosy germs in human beings and animals by the usual means for the 1 most part have been unsuccessful. It is this fact that has established the conclusion that the disease probably is not contagious. While medication in leprosy ims been widely different and generally discouraging, it is believed that as a result of the present experiments in keeping the organism alive under laboratory conditions progress can now be made in the curative field. 0 Rare Gold Coin Found Lisbon.
