PELLAGRA LESS IN SOUTH THIS YEAR THAN LAST Plagrue Reports From Washington Get Eroadsides of Dixie Denials. SEW ORLEANS, La.. July 27.—“ There is no epidemic of pellagra in Louisiana.” said Dr. Oscar Dowling, president of the State beard of health, referring to the Washington dispatch that pellagra and famine were widespread in the South. “There are fewer eases than usual at this time of the year.” he added. For the week ended July 23 only five new cases were reported, while the report for the previous week showed eighteen. Dr. Dowling said there was no method of determining the exact number in the State. , Pellagra is not a contagions nor an Infectious disease. It is contracted by living on an unbalanced diet, usually too freely laden with green corn. It corresponds In the South to the scurry in the North, which results from eating too much meat without vegetables. GEORGIA GETS EXCITED. ATLANTA, Ga., July 27.—Reports that the pellagra situation in Ceorgia is serious were attacked as “damning” in a resolution adopted by the State Senate. The press was called upon to deny thf reports. Great damage would be done t? the State and its industries by their spread, the resolution said. There are no indications of an increase of the number of cases in Georgia this year over the corresp' '•ding period of a year ago, according Dr. T. 1. Abercrombie, secretary of the State board or heelth.

NEW CASES IN OKLAHOMA. OKLAHOMA, CITY, Ok!a„ July 27 Fellagra has Invaded southern Oklahoma to some extent, according to Dr. A. R. Lewis. State health commissioner, but only four severe cases have been reported for June, and two, so far this month, lie said. SLIGHT INCREASE IN TEXAS. AUSTIN, Texas, July 27.—There is no reason for alarm over the pellagra situation. in Te tas, Dr. M. M. ('arriofc. State health officer, said. Reports indicate a slight increase over last year, with seventr-two cases reported for the first six months of 1921. Fellagra usually follows a financial depression. Dr. Carrick said. Famine Is not threatened in any section of Texas, and that portion of Oklahoma. Louisiana, Arirona. and New Mexico embraced In the eleventh Federal reserve district, and neither is there danger of an epidemic of pellagra in those sections, according to Federal officials at Dallas. MISSISSIPPI DOl BLES FIGURES. JACKSON. Miss., July 27.—Dr. IV. 8. Leathers, secretary of the State board of health emphasized there was no pellagra epidemic nor semi-famine conditions In Mississippi. While there were £.230 cases in the State last June, as compared with 1.022 for June of last year. Dr. Leathers stated the number has been decreasing steadily. _ ARKANSAS ADMITS MORE. LITTLE ROCK, Ark . July 27.—Dr. C. W. Garrison. State health officer, said while there had beeD an Increase in pellagra !n Arkansas, the number of cases reported did not indicate anything alarming. He said an increase might be expected at this time of the year, but that thetotal number of case* showed a decrease rather than an Increase when compared to several recent years. BETTER IN' TENNESSEE. NASHVILLE. Tenn., July 27.—Reports to the Tennessee State board of hea.th do not Indicate anything unusual in pellagra conditions. According to Dr Olin West, secretary of the board, there wore fewer cases in Tennessee In June, 1921, than In June, 1920. or 1919. DECREASE FOR ALABAMA. MONTGOMERY. Ala..

SECRECY SHROUDS MAURETANIA FIRE Ship’s Interior Ruined and Loss Will Be Heavy. SOUTHAMPTON, July 27.—Officials of the Cunard Line hare drawn a sell of secrecy about the disastrous conflagration aboard the Mauretania. But while they rcrused all Information and refused to permit reporters to board the ship they did not succeed In preventing them climbing a fireman's ladder and gaining a cursory inspection of the mined Interior. It was chaos. It will take months to restore the magnificence of what once was the ocean's finest liner. Despite attempts of the officials of the company to minimize the damage, ore of them admitted it will be between $3>.000 and gfiCO.OOO, as far as they are able to estimate. Perks C, D and E amidships, the most luxurious ’ on the vessel, are ruined. Scores of first-class staterooms are destroyed, if not by fire, by smoke and water. The inside saloon decks are covered with water from one to three feet deep, while in the staterooms it is deeper. The interior cf the vessel is a mass ©f twisted girders, warped decks, cracked walnstoting. floating debris and hanging oak railings. Inquiry into the canse of the fire probably will be begun next week, the board of trade taking charge of the proceedings. The Mauretania's passengers have been transferred to ths Carmania and Bereng&ria, which sail Ang. 6. NEW YORK, July 27.—Passengers booked to sail on the Mauretania from New York Aug. 13 will have the choice of leaving Aug. 13 or 18 on other steamships of the company, it was announced.

THE MODERN JOB’S JOB IN MOVIES Is the Making of the Movie Animated Cartoons

How do they make those funny “animated” cartoons you see In the movies; The question Is often asked but very tittle in the way of explanation has found its way Into print. When you watch the grotesque, yet astonishingly lifelike, action In the best of them it seems Incredible that such results can be accomplished simply by drawing a series of pictures, photographing them separately in sequence and projecting them on the picture screen. What an enormous number of drawings must bs made, so many of them apparently identical, yet necessarily different in some detail In order to produce the effect of life and movement in the figures! What extraordinary patience on the part of the “animated” cartoonist! Yes, that’s the answer. When you were a child, and your Sunday school teacher put the question: “Who was the most patient man?” sure of your ground, you answered “Job.” Nowadays, if you should put that question to an “animated” cartoonist, the chances are that he would answer promptly, “I am.” “You can't get any more out of animated cartoons than you put into them,” declares Bert Green, a recognized master of the art, who “animates” maps and charts and otherwise dry statistical tables and diagrams In Pa the News. “The Job demands the patience of Job.” But the Job Is important for Paths News to maintain a complete mechanical plant for turning out this special product—including the photographing apparatus with the motion picture camera standing on its head and "shooting” straight down at the separate drawings —one click of the shntter —when the operator touches the electrical button controling the mechanism. This Is another “Job” part of the job. Remove the photographed drawing—substitute the next one—press the button, and do this several thousand times to make a picture that will run on the screen for eight or ten minutes! And these “Job jobs” are steadily Increasing in the motion picture industry. In the eight or ten years since Windsor McKay completed a series of some 10.000 separate drawings and mowed them in procession before the lens of a motion picture camera to illuminate upon the screen an amazing day in the life of “Gertie." the dinosaur, the creations of most of the celebrated comic artists have been subjected to the same treatment. “Animated cartoons” have become to the screen what “comic strips” are to the daily and Sunday papers, and they are the product of the same type of pictorial genius. There is a sufficient reason for this growing popularity of animated cartoons. The principle involved is fundamentally sound. Whatever the artist Is able to create with his pen appears on the screen in all its original perfection, with the tremendous added effect of apparent life and motion. Transference to film being almost entirely mechanical, that part of the process Is mathematically accurate. The Bristol board actors are not “temperamental:” they always are at their best.

The making of an animated cartoon has remained practically a “one-man job.” All that enters into the creative part of the picture—its scenes and characters and incidents must be done by the same hand. Details of action, however—such as movements of a man's legs in running —are supplied by the cartoonist's assistants. called “animators.” Formerly the entire figure, and also the scene repre sented, was copied along with each change of detail—with apparent necessity, for how else would a complete negative result? Not long ago, however, this immense labor was obviated by the invention of the “celluloid sheet,” which is sufficiently transparent to enable photographing through it, changing details of a figure. Thns, if through a sequence of a score or more of drawings there is movement only of the character's head, or arm, or leg. the “animators” have only to redraw the part that moves, the main part of the figure and the whole “set" remaining under the camera lens on the transparent sheet. This device, of course, demands that all the detail drawings “register" perfectly with the outlines of the fixed main scene end figures on the celluloid sheet —but that Is a simple matter of mechanical efficiency at the “animator's” drawing board. Out of the art of making animated cartoons have developed many devices and so-called “camera tricks" that are exceedingly effective, especially In a decorative way. You see a pen with no hand guiding It writing words across the screen, or drawing a picture; you see a monkey frisking across the s<Teen and leaving In the trail of his long tail the autograph signature of the author—as In the main title of Faul Terry’s “Aesop's "Film Fables;" you see lots of other seemingly miraculous, occurrences most of which accompanied the development of this screen specialty whose, chief Ingredient is “the patience of Job.” -1- -lON VTEW TODAY.

DIVORCE CAUSE TRACED TO THE PITUITARY BODY New Yorker Tells of Changed Function at Osteopath Convention. Special to The Times. CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 27.—A new cause for the Increased frequency of divorce has Just been discovered, and the first public announcement of it was made today at the twenty-fifth annual convention of the American Osteopathic Association. A change in function of the pituitary body, one of the smallest of tne socalled ductless glands. Is; a reason for the Increased prevalence of divorce In proportion to the wealth of the country, declares Dr, Ernest E. Tucker of New York an eminent endocrinologist. This little organ is about the size of a green pea. although it Is red, by the way; and It is carefully hidden on the underside Os the brain. The ancients used to regard Is as the soul. Dr. Tucker explains his unique statement by saying that the first effect of the Increase in wealth of a country is the increasing freedom with which nature experiments in specialization, culture, variation, and In seeking to broaden its faculties. Therefore, it increases the difficulty of coordination in domestic, religious and institutional affairs. These diversions of nature are experiments; therefore, 99 per cent of them are abnormalities and are wasted.

PITUITARY BODY BRAIN OF HEREDITARY. There Is system in this increase of diversity over which the pituitary body presides as it is tho brain of heredity and of the central motive of growth. It Is a system whose final stages are typtfled In the beehive where every function and faculty of tho whole spt cies become specialized in one number. The pituitary body is the dock that directs the order of maturity and the balance wheel that determines the direction of tho energy distribution to follow. Education and culture diverts energy from reproduction. Prosperity Is' always followed by Increased culture aud di-creasm] birth-rate. Consequently, if yon accept Dr. Tuck er’s advice, you will look out for your pituitary gland if you want to es-a;>** divorce. Osteopathic adjustment of the neck tends to remove obstructions which interfere with pituitary function. ALL HAVE WATER ON BRAIN. •'Every' person has water on his brain—about seven tablespoonfuls,” said Dr. Harry TV. Forbes, nervous and mental di ' sease specialist, of Los Angeles, In his paper road before the convention yesterday. Dr. Forbes was l’or many years president of the I-os Angeles College of Osteopathic Physicians and Burgeons. "Winn this normal amount of brain water tcerebro spinal lluldi is Hv-roused. the volume of blood which ■an flow through he head Is decreased," ho continued. "This lack of blood circulation gravely impairs sll bruin functions. "The skull will not expand. Hence, Increase of brntn-wuter .compresses tin brain blood vessels. The amount of this wa'ter Increases when It docs not flow out of the head as fast as It forms. About four ounces form and leave the bead every two hours. Increase of brain-water ma r be formed too rapidly for the normal outflow to carry It away, or the normal outflow may be blocked. In all acuta Inflammations of the brain the water forms too rapidly to be carried away. The mentßl and physical inertness which develops in meningitis are duo to this condition of the brain. These symptoms are not due to compression of the brain. The brain Is not compressible. They arc due to compression of its blood vessels and the resulting anemia of the brain. Osteopathic treatment which removes that which darns up his excess water Is followed by immediate recovery of all brain functions. INJURIES BLOCK THE OUTFLOW. "Tho outflow may tic blocked by injuries nt the base of the skull and the upper Joints In the neck. The most common cause Is at birth. Sometimes the upper bone of the spine is almost driven through the base of the skull. f I his produces inflammation which leaves scars in the membranes on the under surface of the brain and often injures and sMf fens the upper joints in th neck. The use of forceps occasionally injures n babe, but delay Injures ninety-nine where forceps Injure one. Many defective. feeble or no-mlnded children result from such injuries. “These birth Injured children often have convulsions during the first week of life. Many have grave digestive troubles throughout the first year or two of life. They do not learn to walk or talk ns early as normal children and many of them never do. Their symptoms are worse when the head Is not higher than the heart so that tho fluid tends to return by gravity. Hence, they are usually worse at night. They often roll the head when they are lying flat. Con-

vulsions may return, especially at night when the head is low. "In many of these children the brain is not Injured. Enough blood Is forced through by an Increased blood-pressure to keep the brain alive, but not enough to permit It to work. Such children may become entirely normal when the excess water is removed and kept out and the blood Is permitted to flow through the head in normal amount. “It la literally true that the difference between a complete idiot and a normal child may be Just four tablespoonfuls of water on the brain. “In many cases of less severe Injury, nature enlarges the head to compensate for the excess water. This may restore normal mental and physical function. Large heads do not mean large brains as often as they mean more than the normal seven tablespoonfuls of water on the brain. “Many of the mental and physical breakdowns that occur in young people about the time they are finishing high school are due to the fact that the head has ceased to grow and nature's compensation for a blocked outflow of brain-water Is not longer effective. Many such cases can be cured by osteopathic treatment which restores normal outflow of brain water. “High blood pressure tends to restore and maintain brain circulation In all such cases. A large percentage of high blood pressure cases in adults and the aged are compensations for a blocked outflow of brain water. Such cases live and retain their mental functions because of this high blood pressure. Nature knows more than all doctors combined. When she raises the blood pressure of a person, we have no justification for attempting to lower it, unless we lower It by removing the cause or condition which makes It necessary and beneficial. Mechanical causes are removed by osteopathic adjustment of the neck.”

The Truth About Indianapolis 4 _____ CEREALS AND FLOUR MILLING SIX cereal and flour manufacturers in Indianapolis last year marketed 29,081,041 bushels of wheat and corn products, using a large part of the Hoosier com and wheat crop and grains from the Central states. Their products had a retail value in excess of §26,500.000. Exports aggregated about $2,000,000. Indianapolis-made cereals and flour are distributed in all parts of the United States, bringing the cartons and flour bags bearing the imprint of the Indianapolis manufacturers into millions of homes each year. Flour millers produced 4,000,000 barrels of their products in 1920, while the corn products reached 9,000,000 bushels during the same period. 500 men and women are engaged in the cereal and milling industry in this city.

EYED HIS TOE AS FISH BAIT Man Adrift at Sea Narrowly Escapes Death. ROCKLAND, Maine, July 27.—After being adrift twelve days In a disabled motorboat, A. B. Tunning of Nantucket, Mass., was rescued by fishermen off the Island of Metnie, twenty miles from here. He was much exhausted and nearly starved. Tunning left Nantucket July 13 to go to Plymouth In his motorboat to see the Pilgrim pageant. The engine became disabled off Nantucket and the forty-two-foot boat drifted to sea in a fog. The man had no nourishment, except a little fruit which he ate early that day, and no fresh water except that caught during occasional showers. The fog held thick most of the time and be saw no vessel during tho entire twelve days, except the Boston steamer, which was too far away for him to attract attention. Tunntng’s mind wandered somewhat after his rescue, hut in lucid moments he was able to tell briefly of h!s experience. He said he was on the point of cutting off a toe to use as a bailt for fishing if he had to go another day without food. , He had kept up his courage from day to day, he said, by expecting each day that he would be rescued the next.
