Newburg, n. Y, Feb. 2e.-Automo
bile enthusiasts were given something
to marvel at when Fred Koenig drove
his machine over the ice on the Hud-
son river from Tarrytown to Albany'
and back, $50 miles. in eight hours and
half. Koenig carried two passen-
gers and at times attained a speed OF
seventy miles an hour. When he
reached this place Koenig found that
the river had been open for ferry traf-
f1c, and so ne had to leave the ice.
Before he swung off he ran his ma
chine to within ten feet of the ferry
boat. On the return trip he got into
difficulty at Poughkeersie. where the
machine became stalled in snowbank
and had to be dragged out with ropes.

VALUE Of ANT|TOX|N
IN D|PHTHER|A CASES
Statistics Gathered Which, 1t
Is Claimed, Show $780,
600 Lives Saved.

Statistics have just been compiled by
DR.. John s. Fulton. secretary general of
the Fifteenth International Congress on
Hygiene and Demography. showing that
the lives of 10000 children were saved in
the United States alone within the ten
years between 1900 and 1910 by the use of
diphtheria antitoxin. How many little peo-
pie were spared from death from the same
disease in the different countries of
Europe within the same decade. can only
be guessed. but it is known the number
reached well into the hundreds of thou
sands.
The statistics were prepared in answer
to the question whether the United States
has derived any benefit from past inter-
national congresses on hygiene and dem
Ography, and as an introduction to the
fifteenth International congress, which
will be held in this city. under auspices
of the government of the United states
September 2-28
Discovery of Remedy.
Prof. Won Behring discovered his diph-
liberia antitoxin in 1891. and at the tenth
international congress in Budapest in
1894, the value of his discovery was con-
firmed. Three American delegates came
home with the news. The next year a
very little antitoxin, very expensive, came
over from Germany and France. The
Massachusetts board of health and the
health department OF New York city soon
began to make antitOxin for use by local
physicians.
The census report in 1900 showed that
diphtheria mortality OF the registration
area had fallen from 10 to 452 per 100,
600 between 1890 and 1900. The census
report for 1910 showed further decline
to ola per 100000 persons living.
Record Of the Congresses.
A review Of other earlier congresses on
hygiene and demography, according to re-
ports, shows that the history Of municipal
hygiene in Italy dates from the fourth con.
gress at Turin: the fifth congress. Geneva.
1882, led to the foundation Of the federal
bureau of health Of Switzerland: the first
chapter In colonial hygiene vas written
after the sixth congress in The Hague;
Vienna eventually was wholly transformed
as result OF hygiene reforms growing out
Of the seventh congress; the ninth congress
in London, 1891, opened the era of legis-
lation for the health of wage earners, in
which England still holds leadership.
And even greater results are anticipated
from the fifteenth international congress
on hygiene and demography. in conhec-
ton with which it is expected to stand
ardize hygien.c procedure in all of the
states of the United States. SO that the
all-important vital statistics may every

TREES ARE IN PERIL
Warning Issued Against the
Chestnut Blight.
LIKE A FUNGUS GROWTH
New York, Pennsylvania and Other
States Fight to Check Prog.
ress of Disease.

observation-disclosures who have chestnut
trees that they value are warned by the
Department of Agriculture to be on the
lookout for the appearance of the chest
nut blight. This is a trouble that has
been affecting the chestnut trees Of the
country for several years. 1t has cost the
nation a good deal of money in timber,
but one of the worst features of the case
from the standpoint of tree lover or a
tree owner is that it slowly wipes out
all the chestnut trees in it's path, and
sometimes in the course of season will
kill off magnificent ornamental trees that
have been generations developing.
The disease has made its appearance
in Washington. There is a single instance
at the corner of Cathedral street and
Klingle road. The disease is spotted in
places throughout Maryland and Vir-
ginia, and there have been appropriations
made this year in both these states for
fighting it. The progress Of the infec-
ton is steady and relentless, to all ap-
pearanceS.
