TYPHOID TOLL REDUCED BY NEW VACCINE Great Advances in Medical Science Are Reported at Convention, CANCER CAUSES FOUND Plea Is Voiced for Better Training in Obstetrics by Physician, £ v £ '’'nee Service PORTLAND. Ore.. July 11.—A new type of vaccine for typhoid fever, which prevent* fatal outcome and ohortons the course of the disease, "•a* described to members of the American Medical Association at the annual convention here this afternoon, by Dr. Guiseppe Caronia, professor of infectious diseases of the Royal university at Naples. Italy. The vaccine still is in an experimental stage and has not. been used yet in the United States. However, more than 1.000 cases in which it has been used successfully have been reported, most of them by Italian physicians. Best results are obtained with the s accine when it is used promptly, T>r Caronia said, the few instances of failures having occurred when it was given after the disease had reached an advanced stage. That pernicious anemia may run in families appears from a study made of relatives of persons suffering from the disease bv Dr. H. Milton Conner of Rochester. Minn. Lack of hydrochloric acid in the j stomach, a prominent feature of the | disease, has. a tendency to appear! in several members of a family. Dr.! Conner reported to the association, j

No Heredity Froved Th ft results do not prove that there is any hereditary aspect of pernicious anemia. Dr. Conner pointed out, but they apparently show a family tendency to development of one of the most important features of the disease. A pain in the stomach is not always the real condition that sends people to a physician. Dr. George S. Stevenson. New York psychiatrist, declared. The pain or other physical ailment may be real enough, but back of it very often an upset emotional state may be found, Dr. Stevenson explained. He interviewed 150 patients at the Cornell clinic and found that in many cases there was a big difference between the patient's complaint and his motive, in coming to the doctor. The emotional or mental problems back of the pain or loss of appetite often are more serious than tire physical ailment, which may be entirely due to the mental or emotional state. Fear of disease, especially cancer, ranks high among these factors. Cancer is known to develop from '•arious skin diseases. Twenty of these, were described by Dr. Joseph .lordan Eller of New York. Most common among the diseases that may develop into cancer are venereal disease, skin disease caused by overdoses of radium and X-Ray, certain kinds of moles, skin troubles peculiar to certain occupations, scars, skin affections caused by handling arsenic or taking it internally and various other conditions especially those that become inflamed. Moles Are Dangerous Black moles are always dangerous. particularly if located where they are subject to constant or even frequent irritation. If they give the slightest trouble they should be removed at once and completely, Dr. Eller advised. High blood pressure is chiefly due to that state of nervous irritability popularly known as “nerves. ’ declared Dr. Arthur S. Granger. No cure is known for high blood pressure, so the treatment consists in trying to relieve,the conditions in the environment that appear to aggravate it. This means attempting to make an excitable patient stop worrying or to displace an excitaole nature by a calm one, a difficult task. Better training in obstetrics for medical students, especially those intending to engage in general practice, and increased hospital facilities for obstcirical patients are needed to reduce the maternal death rate in this country, declared Dr. Carl Henry Davis. The greatest single cause ot maternal deaths is toxic conditions associated with childbirth, in spite cf the remarkable advances made in knowledge of infections. Dr. Davis said.

Crippled Adult Is Problem The last ten years of intensive effort on behalf of crippled children has seen such an improvement in facilities for their care, treatment and education that they no longer form a major problem. Instead. the crippled adult has become the big problem of orthopedics, that branch of medicine that deals with diseases and injuries of the bones and joints. Dr. Walter GStem of Cleveland reported. Orthopedic surgery received great impetus during the war. The new malaria treatment of general paralysis has been successful in arresting the disease in thirtyeight out of 100 patients so treated." Dr. Paul O'Leary. Rochester. Minnreported. Observation of the group of 100 patients extended over five year*. The thirty-eight patients in whom the disease is arrested have been restored to economic efficiency to the extent of supporting themselves and their families.

RURAL PEACE SHATTERED BY ESCAPED DON Anima I Is Routed With Pitchfork by Brave * Farm Woman, POSSES HEAVILY ARMED Jungle Terror Wanders Over Countryside After Motor Truck Turns Over, Bv United Press BINGHAMTON, N. Y.. July 11.— This peaceful farming region held many of the terrors and thrills of Central Africa today as half the countryside searched for a full grown African lion and the other half, unaware that the beast had been liberated in a circus wreck, reported strange terrors and alarms. To date, with the lion still free, and the roads congested with posses armed to the teeth, the most “heroic” occurrence was reported from the Albrechta. farm. Mrs. Elizabeth Albrechta complained to authorities that she had encountered the beast in a hay field. Mrs. Albrechta forked up about half a, shock of hay, and to her surprise, found a lion making eyes at her from the other side. “I just threw the pitchfork at the thing and it ran,” she said. “I missed it, I was that excited, but what kind of a country is this under this administration?” Farmer Is Indignant Herbert Smith, another farmer, was more indignant. He reported that the animal had killed and eaten two of his sheep. Detectives at headquarters deduce that it was lucky for Mrs. Albrechta that the lion recently had dined on two sheep. Patrolman F. A. Barton knew that lions always have watering places and, while his fellows patrolled the highways with sawed off shotguns, he inspected the springs of the neighborhood. Fatrolman Barton’s deduction that Leo would not have education enough to beg a drink at a hot dog stand proved correct. At a spring near Mount Prospect he found lion tracks. But the lion's swig had taken place several hours before.

Tells Story of ‘Veldt’ Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wood of Port Dickinson, motorists, had a chance to make Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson look like amateurs, but they had forgotten their kodak. “Two balls of fire gleamed out of the darkness,” said Wood, describing Wednesday night's safari across the local veldt. “I thought at first it was a large dog and slowed up my car. I came to a stop about fifteen feet from the animal with my headlights full upon it. There is no doubt but that it was a large African lion.” Wood paused at this point in his story. “What did you do?” he was asked. “This animal.” resumed Wood, “peered at the car in a manner I should describe as curious. Then it turned and bounded to the ditch and went past us. “I turned the car around and followed it for about 250 feet as it trotted along the road. “It finally turned and went up the hill near Mt. Prospect, where, of course, I could not follow except on foot, which I did not deem advisable as we were already late for an engagement.” Hundreds Aid Search The lion escaped because of the new tangled method of having circuses travel by motor truck. Its motor truck turned over and spilled out the lion. State troopers, aided by volunteers in such numbers that they congested the roads and even increased the normal hazards of traffic in Binghamton itself, scoured unavailingly for the beast throughout the day. A. V. Burley, commissioner of public works, has offered a SIOO reward for capture of the lion alive, on the theory that whoever catches a loose lion, that lion is his. Commissioner Burley hopes to add it to the public zoo. However, all officers had orders to shoot the lion on sight. The lion was described by circus attaches as an old and somewhat stiff one. probably unable to catch rabbits or similar small prey. For this reason, if he gets hungry, the errors of his proximity are augmented rather than less "’ed. as most of the solid citizens * the community are unable to as swiftly as rabbits.

Holt said that he had to collect S2OO himself from a recent carnival. “I would favor a higher license fee to stop carnival exploitation,” he stated.

WORLD TRADE WAR FORECAST ON U. S. TARIFF Tone of Protests Received From Foreign Countries Is Threatening. UNABLE TQ PAY RATES Notes Declare That Ban og Alien Products Will Mean Ruin, BV ROSCOF B. FLEMING Times Stiff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 11.—High rates contained in the proposed tariff bill would cripple or destroy | much of the foreign trade of the j United States, according to contentions included in the protest notes from foreign governments mad a public Wednesday by the senate finance committee. At least two of the notes—from Austria and Spain—virtually predicted a trade war if the bill is not changed. Other nations simply said their people would not have the money to buy United States goods if not allowed to ship their products to this country. Many of the best foreign customers of the United States, including France, Switzerland. Denmark, The Netherlands, Mexico Australia, Ireland, Austria, Spain and Italy I are represented. Representative of the tenor of the notes was that from Uruguay which recalled the South American burst of friendship for the United States caused bv President Hoover's visit, and the impetus given to plans for increasing trad®.

Tariff Is Rapped “But the. projected tariff is no% helpful,” the note added. "If increased duties on wool,, meats and hides finally are enacted, Uruguay will be forced, not as a deliberate decision, hut as an inevitable result, of its diminished purchasing power, to curtail its buying of automobiles, gasoline, agricultural machinery, lumber, iron, cotton, fruits, etc., in the United States.” The note points out. that Uruguay buys $26,000,000 worth of goods in the United States and sells only $11,737,000 worth of goods. Our present favorable trade balance with other protesting nations is even more striking. Australia buys $201,000,000 worth of goods from us a year and sells us only $96,000,000 werth; Ireland buys $23.000,000 a year and sells us $2,284,000; Austria $29,000,000 and sells us $12.900.000 worth; and the Spanish note says we sell Spain $51,000,000 more than we buy from her. Trade War Forecast Now the United States, according to the Austrian note and several others, A taking measures still further to increase the unfavorable balance against Them. ’~’wbat Austria sells in the United States is a small part of United States trade, but for Austria it is an indispensable item in the Austrian process of economic recovery,” her note said. ‘‘The proposed tariff might lead to a general trade war, with no quarters.” The Spanish note predicted that the tariff raises against her products might lead that government to denounce present trade agreements. France, through Ambassador Claudel, took special exception to Section 402 of the bill, which allows imports to be valued on the American bases instead of the present cost of foreign production, at the will of the treasury. Experience Is Cited “Experience has proved to French importers the use their American competitors know' how to make of a weapon cf thus kind.” Claudel wrote. The British embassy transmitted protests from Bermuda against the fresh vegetable tariffs, which it was claimed would drive Bermudan farmers from business, from India, from Australia, the Bahamas and other dependencies. Other protests were received from Belgium against the cement and prate glass duties; from Italy and Greece, against duties on olives, tomatoes and other vegetables; from Persia, on rugs: from Mexico, on cattle, tomatoes and rice; from Norway, on stockfish and cheese; from Denmark. Turkey, Holland, Guatemala and Honduras, and from Switzerland, on watches and manufactured cotton.
