SCIENCE FINDS SEBUM TO WAR ON RHEUMATISM Has Yet to Be Perfected for Safety; Disease Found Infectious. BY WATSON DAVIS Maaasins Editor Science Service WASHINGTON, May 4.—Good, old-fashioned “rheumatiz,” that quite respectable disease that was more prevalent and more talked about in the turn of the century era, has taken on dignity in recent j ears, but rheumatic fever, as it now is known, is still a most baffling and pressing .problem of medicine. Physicians gathered here for the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons were presented with some of the latest developments in the fight against rheumatism. A serum developed by Dr. J. C. Small of Philadelphia has given promising results in the treatment of this disease, some 270 cases have been subjected to treatment by this curative agent within the last year and some have recovered, while many have improved. A type of streptococcus isolated by Dr. Small from cases of rheumatic fever wa sused in developing the serum, which in its present state of development must be used with great care. Further laboratox-y work is in progress in the hope of improving the serum and eliminating danger. Although rheumatism is not epidemic, most physicians are convinced of its infectious nature. Dr. M J. Rosenau of Boston said. In some localities there are houses that have a reputation for causing the disease, and Dr. Rosenau gave as the scientific basis for their existence the idea that the prevalence of the disease is due to human carriers. Children of twelve years aremost in danger of contracting rheumatism. It is not a disease of old age as popularly supposed, since only one in seven cases is over 49. There seems to have been a downward trend in the prevalence of the disease during the past twenty years.

Everybody’s Poor When Assessment Time Comes

Pianos Can’t Be Hidden, but Jewels Often Are, ' Officials Lament. Boastiixg about the prosperity of Indianapolis, the individaul wealth of the average family can not be proved by the records of County Assessor J. W. Elder. There are few phonographs in the county, almost no radios, and the value of jew'elry even in wealthy northside homes is negligible—as far as the records for the spring assessment in Elder's office show. Talk and strolls down the avenue, parades in big open cars along the

boulevard may indicate affluence, but when these same citizens return their personal property lists for taxation purposes, it would seem the wolf is at the door, the mortgage on the old farm almost due and stai-ving babes gnawing at bread crumbs. Elder and Center Township Assessor Frank Brattain are busy investigating these “suspicious” looking returns and raising them accordingly. The deputy assessor makes a personal call, leaves the list which may be mailed in or called for. Then the council of war starts, enumerating the personal property, beating down the prices. Automobiles bought at fancy prices go down

for just what the owner’s conscience will allow, usually a few hundred dollars. Pianos are rather visible to the deputy, and these usually get listed. But such things as saxophones and ukuleles, which might escape the roving eye of an inquisitive official, rarely get on the list, and when they do, it is for a nominal amount. Jewelry is difficult to find. Even the wealthiest list jewelry valued at anywhere from $lO to SIOO, and assessors almost know there are a few sparklers stuck away that weren’t included.

Police Station, which had been recovered from a couple of boys. Since he had been mysterously deprived of that many he called around to claim them. “How do you know they are yours?” asked the sergeant. “That’s easy, if they’re mine they’ll talk to me,” came the reply from Ypk. He was led to the cell and admitted. A few words in Dutch and sixteen

hens started a riotous flapping of wings and cackling in response. “They’re yours, take ’em away,” piped the Sergeant above the uproar. BARS, BUT NO DRINKS Drunk's Request in Police Station Brings Fine. CLEVELAND, May 4.—James McKane appeared before Judge David
