DENTAL SURGERY
 FOR INSANITY

St. Joseph Mo-, June 23-Experi- ments in the application of dental surgery to treatment for insanity are being conducted in the No. Missouri hospital for the insane, here, accord ing to Dr. G.. E. Ford and pr. Walton B. Taylor. Several St. Joseph dent ists and a throat specialist are con- ducting the research accor ling to the announcement
 No provision is made by the state for dental service in the state hos pitals, the dentists say, with the re- suit that the experimental work is at the expense of the men engaged in the work. The institution does not contain dental equipment, nor X-ray nor has it ever had such equipment since it was established in 1874,
 pr. Ford said 724 patients have been treated. Sufficient improvement has been noted in numoer of pa tients to convince the researchers that with state ~co-operation they could effect a radical improvement in the condition of many of the patients.
 Drs. Ford and Taylor explained that in their work they were follow ing the lead of Dr. Henry A. Cotton, medical director of the New Jersey state hospital at Trenton, who had developed and to a considerable de- gree substantiated a theory of rela- tion between diseases of teeth and tonsils and insanity. Germs incubated by such irregularities, Dr. Cotton maintains, produces insanity.

LLOYD ENJOYS
 EXCITING DAY

London, June z2.---Lloyds eNperi- enced quite an exciting day. yester- day as a result of statement issued in Washington by Senator Wesley L.. Jones relative to the effect of the American merchant marine act, which appears to move the center of Amer1- can marine insurance from London to New York, says a late edition of the Mail.
 "A majority of the underwriters, ' the newspaper says, decided yester- day that no American business was to be done until the present business was closed The American business is in capable of covering all of it's direct risks and shippers are likely to per init their goods to sail uninsured.
 The newspaper adds that while Lloyds expected some drastic clause in the United States merchant marine act favoring American insurance, anything in the nature of what is proposed was never expected"

LAWSUIT. 130 YEARS OLD
 Is WON BY HOLY SQGE

Rome, June 23-In 17SS a wealthy predates Manager Varese, died, leav- ing the bulk of his fortune which amounted to several millions of lire to the Holy See and more especially to tls Sacred Congregational of Pro- paganda Eide. The testator~s next of kin. Count Crof Degil Atti, attacked the validity of the will asserting that Manager Varese was not in full pos session of his mental faculties.
 An interrninab1e lawsuit has been going on ever since, with varying fortune and vlcissftudes, both par. ties making every effort to establish their claim to the Varese millions Things looked bad for the Holy See when the court of appeals of Aquilia pronounced a sentence in favor of the plaintiffs, condemning the Congre- gatioh of Proganda Eide to the resti- tHtion of the entire sum with com- pound interest since the year 17ss. It would have meant bankruptcy for the Holy See, but the latter had recourse of the Supreme Court of Cessation which has now declared the Aquils sentence null and void, owing to guilty procedure ordering that the law suit be again brought for dis eussieH before the Court of Appeals of Bologna,
