ARGENTINA MAN
FINISHES WORK
PROMINENT EDUCATOR HAS BEEN
STUDYING AMERICA AND
EUROPEAN SCHOOLS.

Chicago, Dec 27.--Dr. Antonio Viva
dial, one of the foremost educators of
Argentina who has spent more than
year investigating the schools OF
Europe and the United States, COM
pleted his work in Chicago today and
will soon sail for Europe to obtain in
formation for the final touches Of his
report.
Or. Vivadel said that the United
States leads the world in the educa-
ton of defective children, Germany be-
ing its only rival He said the teach
ing of sex hygiene in the schools was
subject to which he had devoted
much thought and considerable obser-
walton, but that it was question of
such importance and with so many col.
lateral issues that he had not decided
in his own mind for or against the In
novation.

manufacture and the government has
water power plant capable OF de-
veloping enough power both winter
and summer, to operate all the plants
that can be erected. These bills We're
referred to the appropriations COM
mittee and at first were received cold
ly by the friends of the private manu-
facturers. 1t is now predicted that the
committee in all Of its service ap-
preparation bills will report provisions
for the government manufacture or
ammunition. Whether the plants will
go to Rock Island or not is uncertain.
Other representatives from districts
where there are arsenals are making
determined bid for the prizes.
One Of the greatest detriments to
the manufacture Of government manu-
facture lies in the failure of the army
and navy officials to get together on
the proposition up to now. The usual
army officer thinks very little of the
navy and vice versa. In all their
calculations for war, neither branch
of the service appears to put much re-
lance upon the other. Efforts are be-
ing made, however, by civilian officials
to change this attitude and II the two
arms of the service get to working to-
gether, immense strides forward may
be expected.
Representative Good recently de-
clared his belief that the greatest
practical move towards universal peace
would be the refusal of this govern
ment and all other governments to
purchase any ammunitions of war. in
times of peace, from private concerns.
He believes that as the government Is
the only purchaser, there is a con-
tinual drumming up Of war scares just
to make the government buy ammuni-
tion He points to the recent Krupp
scandal in Germany as notable ex-
emple of this.
The attitude Of the senate has not
been ascertained yet. but it Is believed
that If the house makes the first step,
the senate will get into line.

SAYS SOUTH IS TO

ROMMEL MAKES STATEMENT
THAT PRINCIPAL AMOUNT
WILL COME FROM THERE.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 27.-The
declaration that the south for long
time is to be the country's principal
source of cheap beef is made in a
statement submitted to the house COM
rlittee on agriculture by Geo. M. Rom

division Of the department of agricul-
ture.
mo northern farmer or any other
farmer added Mr.. Rommel, "can raise
beef at less than five cents a pound,
but we have and are doing that in
Alabama If the northern feeder is
raising beef right on his farm he must
get more than five cents a pound. If
he Is fattening, it is an open question
how much it is going to cost. Feed

partment of political science and econ
omics Of the University of Minnesota,

COLFAX BANK
MUST REOPEN

Des Moines, Dec. 27.-State Auditor
John Bleakly has served notice on the
heirs of M. B. Wheelock that some
thing must be done toward opening
the Colfax bank in few days. Mr..
Bleakly says the state must proceed
against the Wheelock estate soon, and
that a receiver will have to be ap-
pointed for the bank unless his notice
brings immediate results.
1.-THE longer the affairs of the bank
are held up the worse condition 1t may
be in," said Mr.. Bleakly. I'VE are
willing to let the Wheelocks or the
directors reorganize the bank but it
cannot be put off more than a few
days. have also notified the directors
that the affairs of the bank must be
wound up soon.
"Our greatest difficulty is that the
state has no power to get at the real
condition Of the Wheelock estate said
Mr.. Bleakly. 1--WE do not know wheth-
er Wheelock left fortune or died
without leaving anything. We do not
know how much responsibility the
stock Of Mr. Wheelock in the bank can
shoulder.
"The Wheelocks have had sufficient
time to dispose Of their stock, If they
so desire, or make any other arrange
ments and the state cannot wait long
er. Any action on their part will have
to be approved by this department and
one condition we impose is that the
depositors must be paid in full.
II have hesitated about asking re-
Ownership for the bank said Mr..
Bleakly Such a procedure is expen-
sive and long drawn out. The stock OF
the bank, however, is bound to be
worth less every day the bank is
closed. Mrs Wheelock is administra-
tor of the estate of her deceased hus-
band We have not been able to find
out the conditions Of the will or the
amount Of free property left by Wheel
ock. At this time we do not have the
slightest idea whether Wheelock's
bank stock, which is the control, will
stand the IS per cent assessment we
have made. There is much talk about
Wheelock having been wealthy in his
own name and his wife having large
estate, and it is the intention OF the
state to force the Wheelocks to unveil
their best proposition at once

REPORT ON
DR.. FRIEDMAN
Confidence In His tuberculosis Rem.
edy Has Not Yet Been
Justified

| Washington, May 9.-The public
health service observations, SO far,
into the conditions of patients inocu-
lated by DR.. r. +. friedman with
his tuberculosis vaccine, do not Jus
| tify that confidence in the remedy
which has been inspired by wide.
spread publicity" in the opinion of the
surgeons who have conducted the gov.
ernment's investigation.
This first authentic and official
conclusion from the tests was an.
nounced here today before the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis by DR..
John +. Anderson, director of the
governments hyg enic laboratory, and
DR.. A. NJ. Stimson, another public
health surgeon, who wee detailed to
observe progress Of the Friedman
patients at Mount Sinai hospital in
New York.
I'VE believe that at the present
time says their report, I'VE are not
in a position to express an opinion
based on the present conditions un-
der observation. The disease TO.
which the remedy is used is prolong.
ed and Is characterized by periods
Of advancement and retrogression.
It is also one in which psychic infiu.
ences are a powerful factor. Time is
therefore necessary properly to eval.
uate the effect OF therapeutic meas.
ures.
I'VE must not lose sight of the
possible therapeutic value or this pre-
paration and on the other hand, 1t is
necessary to guard against too great
an optimism in respect to its merits.
Without presenting in detail the con-
di'ion Of patients under observation
we are in position to state that the
facts thus far observed do not just.
fly that confidence in the remedy that
has been inspired by widespread pub
licity.
Harm Of Undue Publicity
In our opinion harm may have
been done by this undue publicity in
so far as it has lessened the conf
dence of tuberculosis persons in well
recognized methods Of treatment or
interrupted their use, and We are
constrained to advise against any
lessening of those well known meas.
