FASHIONABLE society in Prince
Georges county, Nd, has been scan
dalized by the sensational postpone
ment of the wedding of Frank Bowie
and Ida Hill, belonging to the most
aristocratic families of the section, be-
cause they were second cousins. Al
though the church had permitted such
marriages in that section before, Arch
bishop Gibbons enforced the Catholic
tenets in this case. though the decision
was not announced till the guests had
assembled and the couple stood before
the priest. The party broke up con-
siderably mortified, but the disappoint-
ed couple are determined to be united,
and have appealed to the Pope for his
permission to the union.

A NUMBER of English scientific men
are endeavoring to trace some connec-
ton between epidemics of diphtheria
and sources of milk-supply, and, thus
far, apparently with some success. Mr.
Power, the Government Medical In
spector, ascertained that. in certain in
fected DIST let, 473 households were
supplied by two milk retailers, who OBJ
tanned their supplies from the same
wholesale dealer. OF these 473 house
holds, sixty-eight, or, roughly, one in
seven, were invaded. OF 1927 house
holds in the same district which OBJ
tanned their milk from other sources
only thirty were invaded, or, roughly,
one in seventy-five, so that the disease
was more than ten times as frequent in
the former households as in the latter.
Mr.. Power discovered many other in
stances of similar connection between
diphtheria and sources of milksupply.
His surmise, which still, of course,
stands in want of scientific verification,
is that diphtheria will probably be dis
covered to be the effect of milk rem
dered poisonous by some disease pro-
duced in it by changes in the cow itself.
