NEWS OF THE DAY

There was serious disturbance
yesterday at Catanzaro, in the prov
ince of, that name, in Italy, just as
the bishop was about to begin the
celebration of pontifical Easter mass
in the cathedral. Last Sunday the
bishop issued an order forbidding
the usual Easter professions and the
abuse of sacred images, which are
carried through the streets from
morning till night during holy week
This caused great Indignation among
the people, and when. the Easter ser,
vices were about to- begin they in
vaded the church. They rushed to-
ward the altar and shouted: 'Deati
10 the bishop" Their actions be
came so threatening that the bishop
and the clergy who were to have as
sisted him had to flee to places O.
safety.

NOT DANGEROUS TO
HUMANS OFFICIALS SAY
BY The United Press.

bY The United Press.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.-The foot
and mouth disease is not dangerous
to human beings. the Department OF
Agriculture announced today. In an
official bulletin. Il stated that while
human beings who come in contact
with diseased animals may become
infected the disease is rarely seri-
Gus.
THE disease is dangerous because
of the loss that Il occasions to prop
erty and not because of its effects
upon the health Of mankind the de-
partment declared "In adult human
beings, the contagion causes such
symtoms as sore mouths. painful
swallowing. fever and occasional
eruptions on the hands. Where 1t IS
very prevalent among animals. some
authorities believe that Il is fairly
general among human beings. ou
that the disturbances Il causes are
usually so slight that they are no
brought to the attention Of the family
physician"
The department also issued a warn
ing to all housewives 10 boil or pas
teurize milk before serving IL. Tn
danger from milk is very small, th
bulletin states. because Of the rigi
quarantine now in effect
