DOCTORS HOLD FINAL SESSIONS OF CONVENTION Many of Delegates to Go to World’s Fair for ‘Medical Week.’ BY JULIAN T. BENTLEY Lnitod Press Staff Correspondent MILAWAUKEE, June 16.—Final sessions of the American Medical Association's eighty-fourth annual convention were held here today, winding up a five-day study of the battle against disease by the nation's leading physicians. Many of the 5,000 delegates at the convention here said they would go to Chicago next week for "Med•lcal week” at the world's fair, and to attend the convention there of the American Association for the Advancement! of Science. In the concluding sectional meet.lngs today. Dr. Luke Hunt of the John McCormick Institute for InfectioiA Diseases, Chicago, described new discoveries in treatment of 'scarlet fever. The disease. Dr. Hunt reported, Is much less severe and complications are less likely to develop if scarlet fever antitoxin is given within the first two days after illness appears. _ Strange Disease Described In a study of 2.000 cases, Dr. Hunt said, anti-toxin was administered to 900 in the first two days, resulting in immediate decline in fever and fading of rash. A strange disease called myasthenia gravis, which causes weakness of muscles in extremities and muscles of degutition (swallowing) were described by one of its victims, Dr. Harriet Edgeworth of Tuscon, Ariz. Dr. Edgeworth, watching progress of the disease in herself with clinical interest, she said she apparently had stopped its progress. Asa treatment she said ephedrine, commonly used in treatment of sinus injections, was employed. Glycine or gelatine sugar also is effective, she Tsaid. An operation in which onequarter of a young woman’s brain -was removed, necessitated by a tumor, was described by Dr. James Gardner of Cleveland. This delicate operation, Dr. Gardner said, has been performed only a few times. Alcohol Impaires Vision Although the right cerebral hemisphere of the brain was cut away, the patient did not lose her sight, speech, intellect or locomotion, and made satisfactory recovery, Dr. reported. She suffered complete paralysis of the left arm and parital paralysis of the left leg, but sixteen months later was able to walk unassisted, the physician said. Prolonged use of tobacco or alcohol will impair vision and make close work of the eyes impossible, Dr. Arthur Yudkin of Yale university told the physicians. Cod liver oil and vitamin A concentrate arg effective as remedies, Dr. Yudkin 'said. Anew method of relieving pain was reported by Dr. Loyal Davis of Northwestern university medical school —simply clipping the nerves that carry the pain sensations.

LACE MASTER'S SHOE? NO, DECREE OF WIVES Canadian Women Oppose Ruling of French Judge in Case. By United Press MONTREAL, June 16.—Servants, "should not lace their master’s shoes, according to Montreal wives. Armed with a news dispatch from saying that a Paris court •recently decided that if a man wanted his shoes laced, it was his .wife's job, not the maid’s, an enterprising correspondent of a local newspaper interviewed a number of wives to get their views. I He learned that a majority of Montreal wives agree with the decision, though some of them added Tthat if a master desires the maid to lace his shoes, it might be a good policy for her to conform, if she wishes to keep her job.

HOT? PERHAPS, BUT SUMMER ISN’T HERE Official Bow to Be Made Next Wednesday. B,y Science Service WASHINGTON, June 16.-De-spite the hot weather that most of the country has experienced in recent weeks, summer has not made its debut. That event will take place on Wednesday, June 21, at 4:12 p. m., eastern standard time. At that moment the sun. which has been moving northward in the sky since last December, reaches its farthest north position and starts moving southward again. Astronomical convention has taken this event, called the summer solstice, as the beginning of summer. Because the sun is so far north in the sky, it now rises much earlier, and sets much later, than at any other time of year. Asa result countries in the northern hemisphere get much more sunshine than during other seasons, and this is part of the reason that we now have warm weather. The other reason is that with the sun rising so much higher in the sky during the day, the sunshine, with its heat rays, is much more concentrated than in winter, when the rays strike the earth’s surface at a more glancing angle. Conditions are reversed in the southern hemisphere, and there winter begins at the time of the summer solstice. TWO FACTORS DECIDE GROWTH OF CHILDREN Height Is Determined by Heredity; Environment Also Influences. Bjj Science Service NEW YORK, June 16.—The physical growth of a child is determined by neither his heredity nor his environment acting alone, but by both factors and the interaction between them, Dr. Charles B. Davenport told the meeting of the Eugenics Research Association here. Height is determined by the heredity of the individual. Two tall parents have only tall children, although short parents may have tall children. But the height of a tall child is not attained at a uniform rate of speed; there are spurts of growth, one at about 10 or 11 years and another at adolescence. These spurts of growth are influenced by the chemistry of the body, Dr. Davenport indicated, and this in turn may be influenced, at least slightly, by the environment. Weight is another example cited by Dr. Davenport. It is the general rule that two slender parents will have slender children. “However, the students of nutrition insist that food intake is very important in determining the weight of the child.” IT'S PROSPERITY SIGN Land Company Petitions State to Construct Railroad Spur.

STATE HISTORY, PIONEER GROUPS END FAIR VISIT Close Pilgrimage to Chicago With Inspection of Illinois Collection. BY MRS. MAURICE MURPHY Times Staff Writer CHICAGO, 111., June 16.—A fitting close to the pilgrimage of the Indiana Historical Society and the Society of Indiana Pioneers to Chicago's world fair was an interesting tour, Thursday, to the Chicago Historical Society’s new building in Lincoln Park, which houses a priceless collection of Chicago and Illinois historical material. Approximately fifty members of the Indiana societies, who have been attending the fair, spent their last morning at the Historical Society. Dr. Christopher B. Coleman, director of the Indiana historical bureau, gave two talks while in Chicago entitled “The State and the Local Historical Society” and “Historic House Museum.” A group of those who did not visit the Chicago Historical Society, once more visited the Exposition grounds to see “just a little more” of the World's Fair. Take Night Ride on Lake One of the high lights of Wednesday’s program was the night ride on steamship Theodore Roosevelt, which took the party for a threehour sightseeing cruise, giving an opportunity to see the fair illuminated, and the unusual fireworks, as well as the more familiar skyline of Chicago. For entertainment the manager, himself a Hoosier, W. K. Greenbaum of Michigan City, had provided a special program for the Hooser guests. . It was announced that members of the Indiana Historical Society and the Society of Indiana Pioneers were on board and “Back Home in Indiana” was among the songs. Points of interest at a Century of Progress and along the skyline were pointed out as they came in view. During Wednesday, the party broke into small sightseeing groups, but met at old Ft. Dearborn, a place of great historic interest. The fort is an exact reproduction of the first Ft. Dearborn, built in 1803. Several Remain Longer Dr. Coleman, Miss Martha Julian Coleman, and Miss Virginia Layman, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Layman, returned to Indianapolis with the societies. The trip was conducted by Paul Seehausen, via the Big Four route. A number of those who came to Chicago on the pilgrimage have remained for a longer stay. Mrs. William R. Teel and daughter, Mrs. Howard B. Mettel, will take an apartment in Chicago; Miss Sue Howe, Miss Marguerite Dice and Miss Dice’s nieces, the Misses Frances and Phoebe Carmen of Berkeley Springs, W. Va., will remain in Chicago until Saturday; Mrs. E. A. Hendrickson will visit her daughter, Mrs. Robert McKisson at Winnetka; Mrs. H. H. Friedley will spend several days with Mrs. Harry Heaford and Mrs. Ethel Lee of Wilmette. Mrs. Roscoe CL Johnston will return to Indianapolis, on Saturday, and Miss Ernestine E. Bradford, Sunday.

Indianapolis visitors to the World’s Fair who did not come with the Indiana Historical Society and Society of Indiana Pioneers Pilgrimage included Dr. and Mrs. Fletcher Hodges, Miss Ruth Curtis Hodges, and Dr. Francis Hodges, who arrived Tuesday, after attending the commencement of Dr. Francis Hodges from Indiana University Medical School, at Bloomington, on Monday. Young Dr. Hodges will be at the Marine Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore B. Griffith and Miss I. Hilda Stewart, principal of Tudor Hall school, returned to Indianapolis Thursday, after a visit to the fair. Miss Grace Hutchings is visiting Mrs. Clinton D. Lasher, of Evanston, formerly of Indianapolis. Among the Indianapolis guests who have registered are: Mrs. Gwynn F. Patterson. Lucius Hamilton, Mrs. M. B. Segar, Miss Dorothy Segar, Mrs. P. A.

June 16.—President Hoover didn't figure on Wabash when he put through his furlong program for employes, the postmaster here has decided. Under the federal plan no worker can be on duty more than a certain number of hours weekly, and must take long vacations without pay to keep down department expenses. Consequently, when the staff here was cut by illness of Fred Martin, a clerk, just before the furlough time for some of the others was due, things became serious. An appeal for extra help was denied because of expense so the postmaster himself will have to join the rest and stamp letters. 20,00 TO GET JOBS Eight-Hour Day in Cottonseed Mills to Spread Work. By Scripps-Hoicard Xctcspaper Alliance MEMPHIS, June 16.—Employment of an additional 20,000 men in the cottonseed oil mill idustry is foreseen here in a move to change the industry from a twelve-hour to an eight-hour day by September. Asa result of action taken here bv the Tri-States Cottonseed Oil Mill Superintendents’ Association in convention, a conference of superintendents and mill managers will be held to effect some work agreement acceptable to mill owners. Additional cost of the shift to a shorter work day, the superintendents were told, would be only .0016 cent a pound change in the price of oil. .
