fearful in the popular mind, than any
other Institution in the world.
Leprosy became a public problem in
Hawaii In 1863. when the spread OF the
disease among the native population
alarmed the community, Since 1865 the
policy of segregation has been pur-
sued with varying degrees Of thorough
ness. Lepers were first sent to the
Ieper settlement on the island of Molo-
kai in 1856. The number of patients seq
regated there each year since has varied
from q TO 55s. the average being 16 and
the total being 5.S63 for the forty years
following 1856.
Conceal Disease. .-.-
When the first census of the territory
of Hawaii under American rule was
made in 1900 there were 1885 Hawaiians,
OF whom 9Sl were lepers In seclusion. In
other words, in 40 persons was leper.
How many persons suffering from the
disease concealed the fact cannot be
known. That they did and do conceal It
and that their friends and kinsmen help
them TO conceal It Is a fact: they dread
the isolation which is not only absolute
but permanent.
Though cases of Ieprosy in the Uni
ted States are not infrequent. they are
not alarmingly numerous. They have
been confined almost wholly TO the sea-
board.
The possible transmission OF the dis
ease by flies and mosquitoes is a phase
of the subject that is receiving especial
attention at this time. That such
transmission is possible Is believed by
several scientists, but the data now
available are not regarded as permissfve

The announcement Of Dr.. Duval Of
Tulane University, New Orleans, that
he had successfully inoculated Japanese
dancing-mice with the bacillus of lep-
ROSY has attracted much interest among
scientists in Washington, especially
those employed by the Government.
Such an achievement, hardly less i'm
portant than the already accomplished
growth of the bacilll on artificial media,
would be a notable progress toward the
discovery of a serum for the prevention
of leprosy.
In the absence of official confirmation
of DR.. Duvars claim, no comment was
offered by Washington scientists who
have studied leprosy. DR.. Duval is re-
garded as an eminently competent and
reliable worker, and probably was as
sured OF his successful experimentation
before he made its results public. He
had already accomplished the growth
of the bacillus of leprosy. his achieve
ments being of slightly later date than
the first announced by DR.. CIegg, now
of the Public Health and Marine Hos

achievements by DR.. Currie and DR..

OLD SHACK ADDS TO
SUIT CASE MYSTERY
Shanty Near Where Bones
Were Found Stirs Police

NOT CONVINCED BY
J. M. CONWAY'S STORY
Fairfax County Officials Not to
Drop Case Without In
vestigation.

Fairfax county officials and the Wash
ington police today want 10 know more
about the occupants Of a now deserted
shack which they discovered about a
quarter of a mile from the spot above
Difficult Run, Great Falls, where hu-
man bones were found in a suit case
Sunday.
Some declare the shack was used by
campers. Others that it was used by
tie cutters in that part of the woods
And then comes the statement Of JOHN
NJ. Conway, an employe Of the South
ern railway, that while on a fishing
trip. March u, he discovered several
students, boiling human limbs, in order
10 remove the flesh, at a camp near the
spot where the bones were found Sun
day.
While not denying that the bones
found by DR.. F. B. Laney. are some
of the bones brought there by students,
the county officials today point out that
the suit case in which bones were con-
cealed, fell apart yesterday when II
was moved. To them, this indicates
that the suit case had been there much
longer than the two or three weeks be-
tween March 12 and the time they were
found.
Still Investigating.
Whether the explanation of Mr.. Con-
way is the true one or not, Sheriff AL
lison. Of Fairfax county, is not willing
20 drop the case without further in
Vestigation.
Mr.. Allison, accompanied by Constable
Follin, Magistrate Anderson, and De-
tectives Baur and Warren, from the
Washington Central office, went yes
terday to the spot where the bones were
discovered. So inaccessible is the place
that they did not locate the suit case
until we'll after noon. Their investi-
cations revealed that one end Of the
suit case had been Charred with fire;
that near the suit case was part OF
campers outfit, the remainder of which
they found back at the shack, quarter
Of a mile away, and that the thigh
bones. shin bones and part of the spine,
comprising practically the whole lower
part of human body. had been roughly
dismembered, hack marks showing
plainly on the joints. to such an ex-
tent that the authorities believe that II
students did dismember the body, they
were not well up in their technique Of
dissection.
Conway's Story.
Taking into consideration all Of these
facts, the authorities feel that it will
do no harm to continue their investiga-
ton.
According to the story which Mr.. Con-
way tells, he was on one of his weekly
fishing trips along Difficult Run. when
he came upon two young men about
twenty years old, about a camp fire
stirring a caldron. He says he went up
to the fire and that the men admitted
they had taken parts of human bodies
into the country in order TO prepare
them for study. Mr.. Conway declares
that while he mentioned the incident
to some Of his fellow workers at his
office, he did not attach sufficient i'm
portance to the affair to make police
report Of II.

Whether from custom or because we

house to that use. Take, for in

cloths used every day in every home;
dust rags, wash rags, and so on.
1--WE used to make all such things
from worn out things or remnants.
In those days everybody wore white
stockings. Worn out stockings made
excellent wash cloths and were used
as such. Worn out fowls, old clothes

things we had made up ourselves,
