village was occupied by Indians for
many years explains the local name
"Old" Kassan, by which it is widely
known.
Since the village was abandoned
by the Indians the buildings have
been rapidly falling into state of
dilapidation and decay, and GER
tain amount of vandalism by tour
lists and souvenir hunters renders
some form of protection essential.
An examination of the area was
made jointly by representatives OF
the Forest Service and of the In
terror Department. and reports
strongly urging the establishment OF
National Monument were approved
by the Secretaries of both Depart

'Ex-convicts? They're just other mothegs' boys, that's all, and I've adopted them for mine."
 Mrs. Stella B. Dabney, former so- ciety woman of Huntington, w. Va., and for two years loyal mother" to Americas jailbirds. is working hard for "her boys" in New York city and elsewhere, trying to raise money. Around her neck is long platinum chain, with an efficient little silver pencil on the end. The continued existence of the Prisoners Relief so- ciety of Huntington, which has found jobs for 5000 convicts in the last two years, depends lot upon that little silver pencil. It is used by wealthy persons in signing promises of money.
 Mrs. Dabney, as a leader of society and one of the heirs to the fortune left by her father, Captain George w. Bay, the former Ohio river boat king, has been interested in the well fare of former convicts for two years.

DIR. HOFFMAN SAYS LEPROSY
 IS INCREASING
Points Out Alarming Spread
 of Disease In Louisiana Parishes.

Cincinnati, O., Oct. .25.-Leprosy is apparently increasing in civilized countries, according to pr. Frederick L. Hoffman, statistician of The Pru- dential Insurance company. who pre-
 sented to-day before the American Public Health association the results of a study of the statistics of this dis cease.
 Dr. Hoffman said that a conserva- tive estimate of the number of cases
 in this country would be 300 and that, as shown by the returns from the state of Louisiana, the disease is ap- | parently on the increase.
 Abiding to his Investigations at leper settlements throughout the western hemisphere. and the urgency of a more intelligent study of the | statistical aspects for the purpose of ascertainiHg the essential contribu- 1 tory factors. Dr. Hoffman said an at tempt was being made to bring to- | gether. by uniform and standardized
 methods, the leprosy statistics for at least the principal leper settlements
 throughout the wdrld, so as to ascer- ! tain with greater accuracy the pre-
 vailing types of the disease, the aver l age duration before apprehension
 and the average length of after treat ment.
 He estimated the known lepers in
 the world at not fewer than 2,0O0,- 900 of which the large majority were
 in the Far East. Including the United
 States insular possessions, he esti-
 mates that the number of lepers sub- | ject to American control is not much
 smaller than 5,0OOO. | Dr. Hoffman said he was strongly
 in favor of effective segregation and
 more human treatment. especially in
 the case of isolated lepers apprehend- Jed in interstate traffic, and for which | at the present time. inadequate pro- vision was made in the majority of
 cases, and adequate provision only in
 the case of three or four states in the
 absence of complete federal leper su-
 pervision and control. He suggested
 the establishment of a federal lepro-
 sarium, in conformity to a bill intro
 duced in the United States Senate. That this measure had not become
 a law was regrettable, he said, as
 meanwhile the present condition of
 'fll-considered treatment and lack of
 proper care" would have to continue.
