CAPTAIN HUTcHINs TO BE
EXAMINED BY MEDICAL BOARD

Washington, Feb. 27.-Captain Ham
ilton Hutchins, who was relieved Of
his command Of the battleship Kear'
sarge BY Admiral Sperry just before
the feet left Gibraltar. will be exam
ined by a special medical board re-
garding his mental and physical con-
clifton. His mental state is said to be
pitiable.
1t was because Of the great nervous
ness under which Captain Hutchins
labored that he was, at his own re-
quest, relieved Of his command, he
told Admiral Sperry that he did not
feel willing to trust himself on the
bridge OF the vessel any length OF time
Admiral Sperry says there are no
charges against the captain.

SkEPIIoAL ABOUT
THE VALUE CT
RAIL
NEW YORK PHYSICIANS DOUBT
ITS WORTH.
Objection to Pitch elende In Medi-
cine Is mpossIbIIlty of Stand
ardizine 1t.

New York. Feb. 27.-Physicians and
scientists In New York, who have
made specially of the study OF rad
ium and Its effect on lupus or cancer,
are somewhat skeptical concerning
the value of radio-thor, of thorad-x.
the discovery OF which was announo
od by DR.. Z. Skillman Bailey. be-
fore the Southern Homeopathic Med,-
cal association Of New Orleans on
Thursday. They declare that the rad
io-activity of pitch blende has been
known for some time, and they are
inclined TO think that it was simply
pitch blende to which DR.. Bailey re-
ferred and that consequently he mas
added nothing to the subject
One well-known specialist, perhaps
summed up the prevailing opinion. He
said:
Experiments have been carried on
with pitch blende to some extent, but
SO far not nearly enough to draw any
conclusions from them. A few appar
ent cures are quite useless as a fouu-
dation for an opinion on the value OF
any therapeutic agent.
But 1t seems to me that the great
objection to the use Of pitch blendc In
medicine Is the impossibility or
standardizing IT.
Its radio-activity varies greatly
With the X-ray and with radium we
can determine precisely what the force
IL we are supplying to patient
DR.. Bertram Boltwood. professor OF
physics In Yale university and a Icc-
ognized authority on radium, said:
In my opinion there Is nothing new
or original about this 'thoradX. II
appears to me TO be an oyer-statement
of something already known. / have
found the ordinary radioactive sub
stance In pitch blende. There is no
thorium in 1t and no previously tee
cgnized radioactive substance IN any
appreciable proportion"

MILK PRODUCERS boost"
THE PRICE OF PRODUCT

Chicago, Feb. 27-The Milk Pro-
ducers' association has boosted" the
price of milk AS a result OF de-
cision by the associations board OF
directors Chicago housewives, in all
probability. will have to pay eight
cents per quart for all they buy on
and after May 1.
The directors decided to raise the
price of milk for the six summer
Iconths, beginning May l, ten
cents per can Of thirty-two quarts.
This means that the wholesale milk
dealer must pay the producer one
third of cent per quart increase over
the price which was in effect last sum-
mer, and the milk consumer, during
the coming summer. will have to pay
one cent more for every quart OF milk
produced.

LIFE
It Dislodses a Blood
CIot Which Formed
on Boys Brain

New York. Feb. 27-Wilber Healy.
a 17-year-old boy of BloomiDgfield, N.
j., sneezed violently yesterday and
regained consciousness after being in
a ten days trance. He was injured
In a basketball game ten days ago
and after returning homo lost con-
sciousness and was kept alive only by
the use of liquid foods forced between
his clenched. teeth.
II Is the belief of physicians that
his sneezing loosened a blood clot on
the brain and that he will recover. He
was conscious today and apparently
improving rapidly. Dust from sofa
cushion evidently caused him to
sneeze, although he was unconscious
at the time.
