tuberculosis among brood sows does
not seem to be E menace to their
progeny if other exposure to infection
is eliminated, experiments recently
completed show. Feces of tuberculous
cattle have been found to be the most
dangerous tuberculous material to
which hogs are exposed under natural
conditions.
1t now appears that the disease
known as thumps in young pigs may in
some cases at least be the result of
intestinal worms, which in the larval
state migrate to the lungs, causing
pneumonia. Tome very thorough work
leads to thn onclusion, and research
is now being erected TO prevent infec-
ton of sucking pigs with this para

The disease causing the birth of i'm
mature and hairless pigs seems to ic
most prevalent in the far West. Its
Investigation is being continued.
1t appears from experiments with
hog-cholera virus and the ways in
which cholera spreads that pigeons
and similar birds are unlikely to
transmit hog cholera.

GREAT FRAUDS IN
RAILROAD SCRAPS
High Grade Metal Improperly CLASH
fied-Have Cheated the Govern
ment of Millions

BOSTON, Sept. 6.-Two men were
arrested last night in Boston by Deputy
United States marshals and it is alleged
that their arrest is the first of coun-
try-wide series of arrests in scheme
to defraud the government through the
sale of scrap metal from the New Ha.
ven and other railroads. One official
who worked on the case said the
amount involved might run into the
millions
The men under arrest are: William
Matt, 40, whose address is given as 400
West 34th ST., New York city, who is
said to be representative of Joseph
Joseph & Bros. one of the largest me-
tai dealers in the country, and John ID.
Birmingham, 40, of Braintree, general
foreman of the reclamation plant of
the New Haven road at South Brain
tree.
j. r. Mcmahon, chief of the special
agents of the New Haven road. says 40
secret service men have been at work
on the ease at different times under the
direction of r. S. Mitchell, chief of the
secret service of the United States
railroad administration. William J.
L
tice agents, has also been on the case.
Matt was arrested at the Adams
House here last night by Deputy Mar
shall Bradley. Deputy Marshal Tighe
arrested Birmingham in the South Sta
tion. Both men were taken to McMah-
on 5 Office where they were questioned
by him up to a late hour last night
The arrests were made on secret in
dictmcnts returned yesterday by the
federal grand jury on evidence placed
before that body by Asst. u. S. Dist.
| Atty Shea.
| The investigation was started by Me-
! Mahon in the summer of 1918. 1t is said
officials of the road believed that proper
returns were not being received for
scrap metal sent from the South Brain
tree plant.
Mahon asserts he discovered that the
highest grade of scrap metal, such as
steel rails, angle irons and other high
| grade steel parts, which were in almost
| perfect condition, was being sold as
| borings, drillings and turnings. which
is the lowest grade of scrap metal. He
says the differences in price between
the two grades of scrap metal was moro
! than 81 a ton.
This metal, it is alleged, was sent
from the South Braintree plant, con-
signed to Joseph Joseph & Bros, and
waybilled as ''borings, drillings, and
turnings. > The same metal, however
according to his allegation, was recon
signed to different steel firms in this
country as the highest grade of scrap
metal. which il actually was, accord
ing to McMahcn.
1t is claimed by McMahon that the
law was violated in the false billing
and classification of the shipments.
Mcmahon intimated that the same
conditions which existed here have ex-
listed in other parts of the country and
that the facts in these eases have been
considered by federal grand juries. II

Cause For Race Suicide

cause men are punished for having

Absence of men during the war re-
duced the birth rate.
Increased costs have made men
charry of introducing extra difficult
ties into their lives in the way Of

The tendency of the age is to less

Single men and women get the same
wages as those who are married and
have families, and the married man
suffers financially and socially.
Married people are actually penal
