SCIENTISTS IN MASS ATTACK UPONJLEPROSY Germs Will Re Grown to Reveal Sscrets of Dread Malady. tv Cn(W Prrtn WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.—A mass attack on one of the oldest and most feared diseases of mankind, leprosy, is being made by science. Thousands upon thousands of leprosy germs are to be grown in order that chemists and physicians may learn the most intimate secrets of this disease. Scientific veterans of another battle, the offence against tuberculosis, have been called to do battle. The medical research committee of the National Tuberculosis Association. headed by Dr. William Charles White of the National Institute of Health of the United States public health service, at the request of the Leonard Wood- Memorial, has undertaken an investigation of leprosy as an extension of ito tuberculosis research. Reports Encouraging Germs that cause tuberculosis and germs that cause leprosy are members of the same family. Pepra bacilli, as the germs of leprosy are called, actually grow in the same cells of the human body, the monocytes, as the more common tubercle bacilli. Encouraging reports come from leprasaria in this country and abroad and lepers often are discharged as apparently cured. The value of chaulmoogra oil has been praised and its substance has been credited with curative powers. But specialists are not convinced that it lives up to its reputation. Therefore this new attack. The fifteen to twenty strains of lepra bacilli that have been cultivated from human cases will be grown in quantity. New Weapon Sought The masses of germs will be taken to th? 3terling chemical laboratory at Yale university where Professor Treat B. Johnson and his associates will analyze them just as they picked tubercle bacilli to chemical pieces with startling results. By breaking up the lepra bacilli into their chemical parts some of its peculiarities will be discovered. Then eventually new weapons against leprosy will be developed just as it is hoped that new treatments for tuberculosis will arise from the similar experimental work now 1n progress.

JOB SHORTAGE HELD NATION'S WORST CRISIS Problem Sharpest of Its Kind in U. S. History, Says Economist. BY LYLE C.

Neither does Wolman share the I belief reiterated in administration quarters that the unemployed aggregate only 3,500,000. His figure is considerably higher and the peak still is to come—probably in February. “Whether there are 5.000,000 or 6.000,000 unemployed.'' Wolman
