APPENDICITIS
A New Theory Advanced Respecting
 Its Cause.

A New Theory Advanced Respecting
 Its Cause.
 The question as to whether it is advis- able to operate so frequently for append icitis continues to arouse the interest of physicians.
 A shining light ill the French medical world says that appendicitis is undoubt- | edly caused by intestinal worms. These are of three kinds, and the most danger ous Is that known as the trygocephal. which causes the sharp pains and symptoms which indicate appendicitis.
 Microscope examination in every case of appendicitis that has come under observation revealed the presence of these parsites in the appendix
 Now, according to Prof. Metchnikoff of Pasteur Institute, market gardens in the neighborhood of great cities are ire quently manured and fertilized by the deodorized and chemically treated pro- duct of the city sewers In these market gardens the vegetables are forced, and examination shows that they contain numerous intestinal parasites. and es- pecially the eggs of the dreaded try gocephal.
 The professor says that surgical operation for appendicitis is absolutely unnecessary, and that it should never be performed unless some hard substance such as cherry stone has been accident ally swallowed by the patient. He urges legislation to forbid the use of deodorized and chemically treated sewage as manure and that thymol should be extensively used against intestinal worms.
 Appendicitis" adds the professor, "when not the consequence of the accidental swallowing of some hard sub- stance Is undoubtedly caused by the parasite to be found in cabbage, turnips, carrots and caulif1ower The danger lies in eating vegetables that have been forced by manures or watered by con- taminated well and spring water"

Chief Justice Fuller will be 70 years

So far as is known, however. the
chief justice has no more definite
intention of resigning now than he
did when the report was first pub

SCHOOL CHILDREN
HELD To Be UNKNOWN
QUANTITY At PRESENT
What the Number Of Pupils to
Return VIII Be Is Problem
at Present.

What the enrolment of the public
schools of the city will be upon the
reopening on July 23 is a question that
is causing the directors of the Board
of Education and superintendent of
Schools Alfred Roncovieri many sleep
less nights. The School Department
mas cleared up the matter of the sub
stitute teachers by making them all
regular tutors, but by so doing they
have increased the list of unemployed
by over 200. Four hundred and thir-
teen classrooms have been lost to the
department, either by fire or by the
wrecked condition of the buildings.
This would mean on thel face of the
matter that this number of teachers
would be either out of job or would
be employed in temporary buildings.
superintendent of Schools Roncovieri,
when asked to give list or an esti-
mate of the number of teachers whose
names appear on the unassigned col
umn who would have absolutely no
cnance of obtaining classes for the
coming school year. said:
That is impossible. We are as much
at sea as any outsider. All the chill
dren may return or only very small
percentage. In the first case we would
be brought face to face with severe
problem of providing buildings for all.
However, If this were to come about,
we would nave scarcely enough teach
ers TO take charge, as many have Sc
cured leaves of absence and have
sought positions elsewhere. If only a
few appear we will be able to build
temporary structures and erect tents
for the pupils, but will have to lay off
several hundred teachers. We are, in
fact, in the proverbial predicament.
We have lost 413 classrooms, but the
children fortunately are all safe. MANY
are in Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda
and other neighboring towns, as well
as in the various refugee camps. How
many OF these children will return we
have no means of ascertaining 1t
would probably be a safe estimate that
the two or three hundred at the end
OF the unassigned fist would have
scarcely chance of securing anything
for at least six months or q year But
we are at a. loss to know exactly who
belongs at the end of the list as all
records have been destroyed and many
of the teachers have become confused
as to the dates of their certificates.
