Remarkable Results
of Chaulmoogra Oil
For Leprosy, Japan

Honolulu, 7. H, Sept. 1S.-(By
MaiD The chaulmoogra oil treat
ment for leprosy, evolved by DR.. A. L.
Dean, president of the University of
Hawaii, has produced remarkable re-
suits" in checking the disease in
Japan, according to DR.. r. Hoyoshi-
ma, director of the medical college OF
| the Imperial University of Kyoto,
Japan, in an address here to leading
members of the Japanese community.
| Dr. Hoyoshima. who is here study
ling the latest developments in the
| Dean specific, said that when the re-
port Of DR.. Deans discovery reached
| Japan, chaulmoogra oil was prepared
at the medical department of the
Kyoto University Immediately and ex-
perments were made on 13 lepers.
| Two months of treatment was SO ef-
| fectual, DR.. Hoyoshima said, that it
was not possible for a layman to rec
ognize that the patients ever had been
afflicted with leprosy.
| "One of the patients was so glad
that he came to me and told me that
heretofore he had confined himself &c
his house because he was ashamed
of his disease" DR.. Hoyoshima stat
ed. But on the preceding day the
result of the treatment had been sucn
| that he was no longer ashamed to go
out, SO he went to a barber and had
| his hair cut.
! Our experiments with the treat
ment resulted SO favorably that the
medical department of Kyoto Univer-
/ sity has received innumerable requests
from leprosy patients to have the
treatment administered to them, but
our department has been unable to
meet the demand. A large number of
lcprosy patients are waiting eagerly
Ito receive the treatment and this very
day great many of them are wait
ing to return"
DR.. Hoyoshn.a estimated that there
are 100000 persons in Japan afflicted
with leprosy. The fact that chaul-
moogra oil is curative for leprosy
was known in Japan before DR. Deans
discovery, DR.. Hoyoshima said, but the
effect of taking the oil prior to DIR.
Deans experiments was so terrible
that many persons preferred to suffer
with leprosy rather than submit to the
treatment.

Italian Socialists
Strongest Numerical
lV But Not United

Milan, Sept. 1S.-(By MaiD The
Italian Socialist Party which will
meet here October 10 to debate a
change Of tactics is represented in
the Italian Chamber of Deputies by
I'D members, the strongest party nu-
merically but it is composed of dis
senting groups. If the differences of
these are not composed, the party's
compact representation may be di-
vided into small factions and cliques.
Lining up for the convention are
the pro-Soviets, anti-government
groups, anti Russia faction, pro-
unity nti-internationale and cen
trist tendencies. They are meeting
mainly to decide whether the Social
ist deputies shall participate in the
government or line up against the
government on every proposal that it
makes.
The right wing under Deputies
Turati, Treves and Modigliani is for
joining in with the Bonomi' govern
ment and getting what they can in
the way of legislation.
The left wing is for holding out
until the Socialists in full force can
take possession of the government
and the "spoils of victory" These
are headed by Signor Serra.ti direc-
tor of the Socialist press and Deputy
Baratono.
The right wing is called the "col-
laborateurs" and the left, the "anti-
collabomteurs."
The right wing looks upon the
present parliamentary situation as
one which would yield considerable
soclalistic legislation. The leaders
have been somewhat kindly disposed
to President Bonomi, who at one
time was fiery leader in the Social
ist ranks but was dropped from the
official rolls Of the party because of
too patriotic attitude.
That wing is insistent on partici
patton in the government and many
of the deputies of that faction are
reported to favor deserting the So
cialist Party in body if the prevail
ing sense of the convention goes for
''anti- collaboration"
The left wing holds that non-par-
ticipation in the government puts the
Socialists in stragetic position, be-
cause if they are not in the govern
ment they will not be responsible for
any misdeeds blameable to the gov
ernment. On the other hand, if any
credit is due, they are prepared to
claim it, they contend. without hav-
ing borne any responsibility.
The Italian newspapers have COM
planned bitterly Of the Socialist alb
stention from the responsibility of
government.
While the discussion on "collab-
Grafton" and "anti- ti-collaboration"
will occupy the main attention, there

list with an income of $1O,37S per

Nevada, Wyoming. Arizona, Iowa,

And these are, peculiarly enough,
almost the Identical states in which
farms have the seventeen highest
percentages of trucks per farm. All
of which would indicate pretty
strongly that the farm truck follows
the farm dollar.

d.. MORGAN
NEW SECRETARY
OF THE A. A. A.

Washington, D. c., Oct. Sd. L.
Morgan, of New Haven, Conn, who
has been temporarily in charge OF
the national headquarters of the
American Automobile Association
since the death Of A. G.. Batcheldor
a few months ago, was unanimously
elected to the position of executive
chairman at special meeting of the
executive committee held in New
York City, September IL. Mr.. Nor
gan's election followed a period of
observation" in the Office, during
which time he became convinced
that the A. A. A., big and influential
as it is today, has barely touched the
field of it's great possibilities. At the
same time Mr.. Morgan demonstrated
unusual qualifications for the posi-
ton to which he has been elected.
Mr.. Morgan is Pennsylvania by
birth. He was born in the little town
Of Plymouth, going in his early
youth to Scranton, where he resided
for more than forty years Two
years ago he removed to New Haven,
Conn, where he has since been as
sociated with the Bradley Smith
Company, candy manufacturers.
Nearly thirty-five years Of his life
have been spent in this industry in
which he is accounted far sighted
and successful leader.
The new executive chairman was
one of the organizers and the first
president Of the Lackawanna Motor
Club, now the second largest auto
mobile organization in the keystone
State. Naturally he has taken a
deep interest in the affairs of the
Pennsylvania Motor Federation, and
he pioneered the movement to estab-
lish the Lackawanna Trail, which
will be opened for travel next year
and which, it is said, will be one of
the finest highways in PENNSYLVANIA.
He is president Of the Lackawanna
Trail Association.
Mr.. Morgan has always taken an
active interest in highways building
and in bettering motoring conditions
generally. His enthusiasm, energy,
and ability along these lines in Penn
sylvania naturally made him a desi-
rable acquisition for the New Haven
Automobile Club when he moved TO
the College City. He was almost i'm
mediately appointed chairman of the
good roads board of the New Haven
club and in that position continued
IN and for Connecticut the good work
ne had carried on in and for Penn
sylvania. It was his outstanding
activities and successes in motoring
and highways matters that BROUGHT
MIN prominently to the attention of
the A. A. A. committee when a sue
cessor to Mr.. Batcheldor was needed.
Since taking the executive chair
manship of the A. A. A. at Washing
ton. Mr.. Morgan has introduced
many modern ideas and originated
many new plans for making the Or
ganization bigger, better and more
influential than ever before, and for
extending broader and more diver
slffed service to A. A. A. individual
members and affiliated clubs. AL
most Immediately after coming to
Washington, Mr.. Morgan began to
promote closer cooperation between
the national and the local motoring
organizations. and his weekly bulle-
tins which have been appearing for
several weeks have brought forth
much favorable comment from club
ofhclals everywhere in the country.

Cost of a Doctors

ter has decided to raise the fee for

$500 0000, 900 for Work-Faets Pre-
sented to Congressional Committees
Washington. D. c., Oct. THAT the
Federal Government in cooperation
with the states can promote the es-
tablishment of great and necessary
public utility and at the same time
give employment to more than 1,OOO,-
900 men is a fact conservatively and
logically pointed out in a statement
issued here today by the Good Roads
Board of the American Automobile
Association.
In it's statement the A. Az A. says:
Expenditures for public roads and
bridges outside of incorporated cities
will amount to approximately $780,
100000 during the current calendar
year. This vast expenditure is ap-
Piled to the payment of labor, ma
terials, machinery, and profits. OF
this sum, approximately $50O,0O0,00o,
by the end of December, will have
gone for the employment of labor.
On the basis of So per day. this
means that during the current year
there is being applied to public high
ways of the country about 166,OOO,OOO
labor days Thus, on the basis of 200
working days, employment will have
been given to about S30, 1000 laborers.
Hence, if the pending Federal Aid,
providing an additional $75,000,000 of
Federal money to be matched by $751;
100000 of state money during the
calendar year 1922, becomes law,
there will probably be expended dur
ing the year on public roads in the
United States approximately $780,
100000, of which about $640,O00.000
will be applied to the employment of
labor. On the basis of 8. per day,
and giving 200 working days to each
individual, this means that very like
ly during 1922 more than a million
workmen will be employed in the
building of roads and bridges and in
the manufacture of roads machinery
therefor throughout the United
States.
1T is estimatdl that during 1921
about $500,000,000 will Se expended
on street work in the different cities
IN the United States, and that dur
ing 1922 at least $600,0O0,000 will be
expended for this purpose. On this
basis. approximately 775,000 labor
ers will be employed on street work,
making the total of 1,750,00O laborers
engaged in combined street and high
way maintenance and building.
1T would seem, therefore, that the
early passage of the pending roads
legislation, which would provide for
the continuation of this activity,
would be most direct and sensible
means of solving the unemployment
problem and thus help % restore the
national prosperity"

of 1916, which expired in June Of this
year, has already passed the House

FARM TRUCK

The question Of where the most
motor trucks are sold for farm use
seems to be clearly answered by a
farm market survey made by one
noted manufacturer. It develops
that the states where the value of
farm crops per farm is highest are
the states where the greatest per-
centage of farmers own trucks, re-
gardless of improved roads and other
influences.

PROFITS TAX
Leaders Determine Outline
of Revenue Bill to Raise
$3,OOO,OOO,OOO
SALES TAX
is ABANDONED

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 27.-
A tentative draft of the new tax bill,
which probably will be before the
House within a month, has been
drawn by members of the House
Ways and Means Committee after
consultation with the Treasury De-
partment and leaders Of both houses
Of Congress, it was learned yester-
day.
Republicans OF the committee and
the Treasury experts are said 10 be
in virtual agreemen1 as to the gem
eral plan of the new tax bill. From
authoritative sources It was learned
that the following will be the out
standing features in revenue revi-
sion, as provided in the House bill:
The sales tax proposal has
been abandoned.
The excess profits and several
of the petty. annoying consump-
tion taxes will be repealed.
The higher surtaxes will be
reduced so that the highest rate
on big incomes will be about 40
per cent. instead of 65, as at
present
The corporation income tax
will be changed to a fiat rate of
10 per cent. as a substitute for
the excess profits levy.
A 10 per cent. levy on the un-
distributed earnings of corpora
tions probably will be imposed
as a means Of preventing any

10000 could be obtained from the
10 per cent. levy on the undis-
tributed earnings of corporations.
This latter return would come either
directly from the tax or through in
creased returns from the forced dis
tribution of cash dividends.
From inheritance taxes about
500. 900, 900 will be received, while
$67 100000 will come from insur-
ance levies. Should the transporta-
ton taxes be repealed the loss would
be about s300.000.000. Although
the plan is to repeal the taxes on
fountain drinks and ice cream. the
levies on other beverages would re-
turn about S157, 900. The pres
ent taxes on tobacco, which prob
ably will be continued, are yielding
S295, 100000 Another 5000, ,OOC
will come from continuing present
taxes on admissions and club dues.
