ENGLAND STARTS AFTER BROTHERS
Finds Electric Light Manu- lecturers Are Fixing
 Prices Arbitrarily

 London. April 19.-England has started an investigation of the postwar growth
 of alleged trusts and monopoles. | prohteering committee which has 1 been Joking into the activity of electric light companies and lamp bulb manufac- turers, in a report recently made pup lie, says that "a trade combination does | exist among electric light manufacturers | in this country and exercises powerful influence over the conduct and develop ment of the industry
 It is known as the Electric Light Man ufacturers' Association, the report says and has been created primarily in the ln- terest of three firms-the British Thom- son- Houston Company, the General Elec- tric Company and Messrs. Semen Bros. T. is reported to include 90 to 95 per cent of the industry. to fix prices and regulate output says the profiteering committed
 The prices fixed by the association, the report says become the standard TOT all lamps sold in this country, whetfor made by association or non-associaHon manufacturers, or imported from abroad. Because of this standard price policy the general public reaps no benefit from lamps of cheaper manufacture, the ad- vantage going wholly to distributors.
 Standard vacuum lamps, now sold to the public for shillings, states the re- port could be sold at shillings at which price the manufacturer and distributor would still have a satisfactory working p1 oft.
 "One and a quarter million half-watt lamps" adds the report, 'sold to the pub lice in 1919 at 12 shillings and sixpence each, were purchased in Holland by these associated manufacturers at about shll- lngs a lamp. They could have been sold at not more than shillings, which " r~<1 still have left ample margin for the i'm porters and distributors.

Science Makes Wonderful
 Heart Research Progress
Cure for Heart Disease May Be Announced Within Year. Young Scotch Scientist Tells of Important Dis
 coveries in Sight
By CLAIR PRICE

London. April 29.-(Special)- 1.-The won- oertul announcement, made in the Brit lSh House of Commons recently, that we are on the eve of far-reaching discoveries which may reveal the secret of heart disease, has attracted great attention throughout the world. The announcement was made casually in the course of a speech by Capt Walter Elliot, Scottish member of Parliament, who opposed an anti-vivisection bill called the dogs pro- lection bill. Captain Elliot, who talks with thick Scottish burr, was an offi- cer in the British Royal Army Medical corps during the war and had been dubbed in the House of Commons the

 Heart disease falls generally into two classes" he told me today. We used 10 call them in the British army val TNilar disease of the heart, or " D. k, and disordered action of the heart, or ID. A. H. The former is a mechanical trouble, a sort of leakage which, in the heark resembles the leakage of pump. The Ia tier is an organic trosIble. a weak ness which in general corresponds to weak hand at the lever of a pump. Both troubles are so interlocking in our heart

disease cases that it is difficult always to separate them, but I think it may De said that 75 per cent of our heart troubles in the British army fell under the head of D. A. H.
 We have made, and are making, very large advances in the handling of both sorts of heart trouble. but in the case of valvular disease of the heart, while we have made small progress toward cur- ing it, we now view it very much less seriously than we used to view it. To re- vert to the pump analogy a heart whioh hsrs valvular trouble is a pump which iss designed to handle a capacity, say. of ten gallons an hour, but which leaks, say, one gallon an hour. This leakage can be h gard as a 'nuIrnur' during the action of the heart. It is due to faulty valves in the heart, usually traceable to tie s,tars left by old nflammations. It was formerly the procedure of doctors to view it as very serious aiIment and to warn patients suffering from it that it was necessary to avoid all strenuous exer- cihe. We feared that additional strain on the heart would cause it to cease beating altogether.
 This view has now been definitely aban-

AZTEC ORNAMENTS
 FOUND IN GRAVE
Golden Clothing and Jewels of Rare Beauty Are
 Unearthed
By Associated Press

Philadelphia, May S.--Gold ornaments, idols, crowns, armor and other relics of great historic value which date from the civilization of the Ircas, Aztecs and other Mexican and Central and South American peoples are contained in a collection of 300 specimens recently placed on view for the first time in the museum of the University of Pennsylvania.
 The exhibit was only recently brought to it's present completeness by the pun chase of objects which had been in pos session of a noble French family for gen, erations, but which were sold at Paris because the family was impoverished.
 Gold was used by the Aztecs and Incas only for ornaments, religious emblems and attire. These objects shipped to Spain by Pizzaro, Cortez and others iD the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, were melted and coined. This explains the rarity of the original golden objectA
 grave recently opened in Colombia proved rich trove of them. It was apparently the burying place of prin- cess. Enough golden ornaments were dis covered completely to clothe modern woman for her appearance in a ball room. There were besides a crown. bieastplate, girdle, armlets and various other appendages, aside from great quantity of jewels. Rings and necklaces of amazing beauty are among the objects.

doned. We have known for a long time that the heart 'compensates for it's leak age, 1. e., if it leaks a gallon an hour, 1t pumps eleven gallons an hour in or der to maintain its usual flow of ten gallons an hour We know now that this condition is not serious one, when it is not complicated with some other form of heart trouble. When We are satisfied that It is purely valvular disease of the heart which affects the patient, we an- wise him to forget about it. If he desires to take strenuous exercise-swimming or running, or chopping wood, or some other form of heavy manual labor-we tell him by all means to do so. His heart is not normal, but a leaky heart is not sefi- ous matter, and we know it now. We nc longer condemn him to spend the rest of his life as an inva id, afraid that he will drop dead at any moment. Our ex- periences during the war have taught us better.
 The case is not so simple with respect to a disordered heart. however. This is far more complex matter, and here it is that we are making very rapid pro- gress in discovering what problems we have to deal with and in forecasting d cure for the abnormal conditions we dis

CITY MISSION AND
CHURCH EXTENSION
Annual Report of Society, by Rev.
]. H. Beauchamp, Secretary,
Tells of Work Among Poor.

A tIreless effort to make evangehstic
work among the poorer residents keep pace
with the rapid growth Of the city is shown
by the annual report of the City Mission
and Church Extension Society, read to
the Wilmington Methodist Episcopal
Conference by Rev. John II. Beauchamp,
corresponding secretary. The report
covers, among other subjects, the pur-
chase of the Boyd property adjacent to
Asbury church, the work In the Sixth
Avenue and Italian missions and the
soclety's assistance in building a new
church at Bellefonte.
The report follows:
The United States is rapidly becoming
a nation of cities. A careful survey shows
that one-half of our population is living
under urban conditions, and the cities
are rapidly spreading into the country
giving to rural life city characteristics,
The city is the heart of civilization, the
source of social customs, the seat of com
meroe, and the home of arts, science and
literature. The country thinks in terms
of the city, If the city is to control the
nation, Christianity must control the
city.
Fifty years ago there were only forty
five cities in the United States of over
10000 population. Today there are two
hundred and eighty-fve. The population
of Wilmington fifty years ago was 10000
Today it is 100000. Twenty per cent OF
our large cities are over seventy per cent
foreign born or of foreign or mind

NAVY SHY ON FUEL OIL BIDS
in Current Contracts-No
Concessions Made.

Washington, March 17.-Fuel Oil
bids opened by the navy department
covered less than one-fifth of the s.
100000 barrels asked for, and prices
quoted were more than 100 per cent
above those in current contracts.
A quotation of around $4.20 barrel
for delivery of 100000 barrels at Attain
tic coast ports, submitted by the Texas
Oil company, and of 1896 on 10000
barrels, submitted by the Standard Oil
company, constituted the total bids re-
ceived. These prices, 1t was said, show
practically no concession from the pre-
vailing market quotations.
While no action has yet been taken
on the bids, Secretary Daniels recent
ly stated that he would insist on an
adequate supply of fuel oil for the ma
tons fighting ships at reasonable"
prices.

MAY WAR ON BoLsHEvIsM
New MiIitarist Government of Germany
Trying to Win Support of
the Allies.

London, March 15.-With the war
cry Down with bolshevism," the new
militarist government of Germany
means to win immediate recognition
by the allies and America and their
support in huge military offensive
against soviet Russia in May.
General Baron Won Luettwitz, the de

plan of action when he declared the
new regime wants more than the
numerical strength of 100000 men, to
which the Versailles treaty limits Ger
many's standing army.
simultaneously, the Kapp-Luettwitz
government declared In message to
