SCIENCE AIDED BY MOVIES IN CANCER STUDY Medical Association Is Told Films Picture Growth of Malady. By United Press PHILADELPHIA, June B.—The movies have given considerable aid to the physician seeking closer alliance knowledge of mental diseases and of cancer, according to exhibits shown at the American Medical Association's anuai convention today. The movies, it was revealed, give the doctor an excellent opportunity to register closely the facial expressions and habits of those afflicted with mental diseases.

Oppose “Contrct” Proposal Dozens of papers are to be read during the week’s session, which had as its initial study this afternoon the treatment of anemia. The essential personal interest between physicians and patients would be sacrificed should the proposed medical guild plan for furnishing medical care to persons on a contract basis of $1 a week be adopted, some physicians said today. This club plan which has been proposed by a group of New York physicians consequently was looked upon with disfavor by the leaders of the profession. Futhermore, doubt was expressed that the leaders of the profession in the many American communities would consent to be parties to such “ldustrialization.” Deplores “Mechanization” “The judicial coimcil of the American Medical Association has deplored any attempt to mechanize or establish contract practice of medicine in places where it is possible to get suitable medical care,” Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the .Journal of the association, said. “In previous experiences it has been found that such contract organizations have broken down when a community has been visited by a serious epidemic,” Dr. Fishbein said.

REALTORS SEEK NEW ROAD DATA Not Sure Marion County Is Getting Its Share. Further investigation of state highway expenditures in and near Marion county is under way by the Indianapolis Real Estate Board, Lawrence G. Holmes, executive secretary, stated today. A report on such expenditures from John J. Brown, director, of the state highway department “failed to give sufficient details,” Holmes said, and further demand for figures has been made on that department. Meanwhile Harry Dunn, Marion county auditor, has also been asked by the board to compile a tabulation of county road expenditures. “There is some suggestion that certain roads listed by Brown were not state but county construction,” Holmes declared. Brown wrote a letter to the board listing about $1,000,000 in state road projects in and near Marion county in answering the charge from the realtors that Marion county is being neglected in the state road program at the expense of northern Indiana.

CITY WILL ‘GREET’ GIANT WHALE, BABY

Pair of Mammals Will Go on View; Contest On to Name ‘Child/ Arriving here in her private railroad car with her three-ton offspring, “Colossus,” the world’s largest fin-back whale, was to anchor on Virginia avenue, near South street, today affording city persons a view of a real baby whale and its mother. Whaling, one of the most thrilling and adventurous of careers, is fraught with danger, according to Captain Jonathan Prince, veteran whaler, who will be here in charge of “Colossus” and its baby. “Even with modern equipment,” says Captain Prince, "no way has been discovered that precludes sending men out in small boats to fasten chains and other rigging devices on the whale. Many times whales thought to be dead give a dying sweep of those powerful tails that can break the stoutest of small boats in two.” However, he said, firms like the Pacific Whaling Company, sponsors of the exhibition coming here, have instructed their captains to wait several hours to make sure that the mammal is dead before they proceed with loading operations. Captain Prince and a number of his crew always are on duty during the exhibition to tell visitors many CONFESSES SLAYING Butler Admits Murder of Brooklyn Doctor. By United Press NEW YORK.

DEPRESSION ‘AT BOTTOM,’ VIEW OF SPIRITUALIST Mission Lecturer Predicts Recovery Will Take Several Years. BY ARCH STEINEL Men, there’s a woman in the city who admits you owe her a gold medal, for she’s probably saved you more unhappiness than any o\her woman in the nation! Women, there’s one of your sex In the city who probably has strained several points to keep you happy instead of telling you of “third parties” in your married life! She is Mrs. Etta Bledsoe of Los Angeles, missionary of the National Spiritualist Association, lecturing at the Indiana State Association of Spiritualists meeting in the Claypool, today and Tuesday. Without benefit of private spirits such as “Washingtons or Fletchers” Mrs. Bledsoe said her latest messages forecast the present depression of the country had reached bottom and that it would be several years before recovery is possible. Men Owe Her Medal “Yes, the men do owe m$ a gold medal for messages I've received telling of infidelities and no) reporting them. But do you know that in all the years I’ve been a spiritualist, and that’s since I was 12, I never have had a man come to me with the question ‘is my wife unfaithful.’ ” “ ‘Does my Jack love me?’ and ‘Who stole my dog?’ are some of the many questions asked her. They are answered, but there could be a hundred reporters in the room when I answered the question and they would not know how silly the question might be. The question is real to the person asking, but to the audience it would not be,” she said. “The most oft-asked question nowadays at message circles is ‘when will I get a job?’ and of course*the answer is as varied as the questioners,” she said. On her way to the city she met a war mother on the train returning from her son's grave in France. “I say his grave, but I’m not certain he’s buried there. Where is he?” the war mother asked of Mrs. Bledsoe. Strikes at Fortune Tellers “I think I could have gotten a message for her. I think I could have told her where her boy is, but I didn’t for I do not flaunt my spiritualism," she said. Reports that Lady Conan-Doyle would visit the United States in the interest of spiritualism was given credence by Mrs. Bledsoe. Mrs. Bledsoe struck at fortunetellers and palmists with, “I wish they wera all in jail. They are an Injury to our religion. We do not believe in spooks. The newspapers have come to understand us in the past few years.” Business meetings of the Indiana association were held today and tonight messages will be given. Admittance to the message meetings is 25 cents. The sessions will continue through Tuesday.

Bn United Press LOS ANGELES, June B. becoming the first woman to fly an autogiro airplane across the continent, Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam was enthusiastic in her praises off, the new type ship as she prepared!' today for the return flight to Newark. N. J. • “If I were to pick a plane for safety features, my selection would be an autogiro.” said Mrs. Putnam after making the last lap of her cross-country flight in fog and rain that caused commercial companies to cancel scheduled flights of passenger planes. “It won’t spin; it won’t rol:. and it won't dive,” she continued. ‘You can actually become careless in one. However, it is still an airplane and it can be wrecked. Speed also is sacrificed. “The average man with no knowledge of flying could handle such a craft with only a few pointers from an experienced pilot. It is an airplane, however, differing from others in that the four rotor blades form a circular swing instead of a recti .ngular one.” Mrs. Putnam added, however, that she still liked speed in the air and had no intention of disposing of her conventional speed ship. The flier completed her transcontinental flight, made by easy stages, at 6:10 p. m. Sunday. She was accompanied by Edward McVaugh. mechanic, and planned, if possible, to take off today on the return trip. Parked Auto Is Looted Thefts of merchandise valued at $275 from his parked auto was reported. to police, today by M. L. Fenwick, Lockerbie, salesman for a St. Louis (Mo.) company.
