CHINESE FIRST 10 USE PLANTS AND OILSAS MEDICINE Ancient Beliefs Continued in Modern Treatment of Disease, The Chinese >vere the world's first doctors. About 5,000 years ago Emperor Fu Hal, according to Chinese legend, was medicine’s first patron. His successor, Shen Nung, was certainly the first on record to try the healing power of herbs, even experimenting upon himself. He wrote a lengthy treatise on the subject In 2823 B. C. During the Chou dynasty (1000-300 B. C.) a State medical service was inaugurated. There was a ministry of health for officials and a public health department for the common people. There was also an imperial riietry. a department specializing in abscesses, sores and the like, and a veterinary surgery bureau. A special study of the pulse was undertaken in those days, but the heart and its connection with pulse remained a mystery. “Pulse practice.’’ however, was quite the thing, in China. The Chinese even now make use of the most extraordinary materials in their practice of medicine. Deer horn, at SBO an ounce, is used as a tonic and rejuvenator, and probably does possess certain tonic qualities. Bufin. an extract from the large warts on the back of a toad’s neck, has a distinctly stimuating effect upon the heart. Their herbal remedies are far superior to any others, and in this line of investigation the Chinese medical practitioners have done good work. More pictuersque specifics are tigers’ bone and blood for cowardice, wolf's brain for scarlet fever: snakes and dried lizards as tonics; magpies and woodpeckers for con sumption and dried silkworms for fevers. Bears’ gall stones are regarded as a cure for eye troubles and are worth S4O apiece.

BOYS FLEE IN PAJAMAS Plainfield Eads Escape From Long Hospital Here. William Fisk, 16, of Vincennes, and Clifford Devine, 14, under sentence to the boys' school at Plainfield, escaped from the Long hospital, where they were confined for treatment, early today in bathrobes and pajamas. Police were asked to hunt for them. s Truth Johnny Petrakes, 5, of 346 N. Noble St., will testify with other “fellers” that a woman can’t throw straight. Little Jonnny was struck on the head with a piece of coal. He told police an eight-year-old girl threw the coal at another girl and struck him. The father of the little girl who threw the\ coal, took Johnny to the doctor.

NAVAL OFFICIALS FEAR BLAST MAY CAUSE DESERTIONS Disaster on Mississipi May Shatter Morale of U, S, Sailors, WASHINGTON, July s.—Naval authorities are deeply concerned lest the explosion on the battleship Mississippi may have a serious effect on the morale of the sailors. They fear it may lead to a recurtence of the wave of desertion similar to that which followed the wrecking of seven destroyers and loss of | twenty-three lives off Point Honda. Cal., on Sept. S, 1923. In the three months following that disaster 2,426 sailors* deserted, which was just twice as many as in the corresponding months in 1922, when 1,216 sailors took “French leave.” So serious did the situation become, Secretary of Navy Denby had to repeatedly warn officers to bolster up the morale. Denby Warns Officers “The loss to the service through desertion with Us demoralizing effect is of vital concern to every officer and the Secretary directs that every effort be made to correct the present unsatisfactory condition." Denby ordered on Dec. 19, 1923. Out of a total of 5.051 deserters it was ascertain,- ! that 45 per cent had served less than six months ’ and that 64 per cent had served less than a year. This lead to an Immediate tighten ing up of recruiting orders. Effective in January this year, a thorough investigation was made as to the characters, habits, heredity and mentality of every applicant. The new orders, eliminating a large number of undesirables, reduced desertion more than 50 per cent. During February. March and April of this year, but 1,357 sailors deserted. Unfair Treatment Charged Questioning of 221 deserters re cently revealed that I<>s had deserted bemuse they thought they were being treated unfairly or had had Rouble with officers. Forty-six more gave poor working conditions as their reason for leavirg: thirty-nine assigned lack of pay; sixteen stated they were homesick; seven assigned seasickness and (eight gave drunkenness as their reasons for leaving. Recently Captain R. H. Leigh testified bes, re the House Appropriations Committee that much of the ! desertion is caused by the poor lm--11 resslons which many recruits first | formed on joining the navy.

NEW WAR MADE ON FAST DRIVING Chief Blames Speeding for Fatal Accident, Declaring two deaths in an auto J mobile accident at Laurel and Pros pect Sts Friday were caused by speeding, Police (Jhief Herman F. Rikhoff today spurred motorcycle men on to greater efforts to stop fast driving. More than 250 per- : sons have been arrested in three weeks in the speed war. Arrests dropped somewhat Friday. Rikhoff said this may have been due to the fact that traffic was so heavy drivers could not “let go" on city pavements or to the fact that there were so many extra police details on streets. Andrew Weber, 46. of Cumberland. Ind., and William Day, 19, of 2026 Central Ave., were charged with speeding. Those charged with traffic violation are; Harold Parker, 37, of S3? N. Dearborn St., charged with failure to stop after an accident and assault and battery. Paul Wesley, 29, of 1130 Polk St., and Ted Simpson, 30, of 711 N. New Jersey St., charged with failure to have auto license plates and no truck licenses for city; Wilbur R. Gordon, 40, of 232 S. Illinois St., charged with improper driving and carrying concealed weapons; Albert Henley, 28, of 227 S. State pt.. charged with operating a vehicle while Intoxicated. Bertha Franklin, 30, colored, of 1502% Laurel St., is charged with speeding, intoxication and operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Other arrests ori speeding charges were: Storey Larkin, 27. of 71 Whittier Place, and Curtis Macey, 32, of 1130 Blaine Ave.

ONE CHAPTER IN HISTORY OF WAR YACHT OMITTED Millionaire Sues 11, S, for Damages to ‘Avenger of Lusitania,’ By Times Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, July s.—Riding lazily at anchor in the Potomac along the far-famed “Speedway,” a trim white yacht has attracted unusual attention. Transients and local motorists stop hv the hundreds each day to admire the craft, the “Venetia," and 10 Inquire why two large silver stars decorate her brown stack. Sailors explain that the yacht belongs to John D. Spreckels, California sugar king, and that it is valued at more than $1,000,000. The stars, they proudly state, indicate achievements of the craft during the World War, when Uncle Sam used her for a submarine chaser. One star is for sinking the submarine which had launched the torpedo destroying the Lusitania. The second is for sinking another submarine. Not in Books Spreckels has published for private distribution a 300-page book entitled “Venetia, Avenger of the Lusitania,” in which the yacht's war reconi is proudly related. But neither the book nor the sailors tell the complete story. The two silver stars are likely to cost the taxpayers more than 205,000 hefore the final chapter of the war history is written. In the first place. Spreckles didn’t volunteer the use of the craft — President Wilson conscripted it The Government agreed to pay Spreckels $2,000 a rn<y,th charter money. In April 1919, the Oover im p nt returned the boat to Spreeke’s. . Suit Idled But the California millionaire de elded that his craft had been pretty badly damaged. A Navy board of review npproved a sum of $76,331 to put the croft in first-class shape. This. Spreckels declared was far too little, and filed suit in ’.he Court of Claims to collect $147,405 damages. This represented the difference between the $204,653 which be claimed would be necessary to put the craft In condition again, and $57,218 which he accepted as pari payment. This suit probably will i> reached in the fall. ft represents one chapter 11 the history of the Venetia about which few people hear. DUAL SUICIDE ATTEMPT Albert Little in Serious Condition at City Hospital. Albert Little, 33, of sj>7 S.
