LEPERS OF PORTUGAL ARE
 MENACE NEWSPAPER SAYS

LISBON. Aug. 11-A campaign is being conducted by the Seculo, the most widely read newspaper in Portugal, against the freedom d. lowed to lepers in this country and the effects of their contact with healthy people. Portugal has the sad privilege of possessing the larg- est number of lepers in any Euro pean country. Steps are already be- ing taken to, at least, reduce the danger of contagion inside the hos pitals.
 Foreigners who visit this country are shocked at the sight of lipless, noseless lepers of both sexes beg ging in the streets or selling toys and sweets to poor children The Seculo asserts that one leper boy is employed at milking the cows in a dairy.
 These facts, added to the state ments made by leading physicians as to the danger of contagion. have so alarmed the populace that it is thought that public opinion will force the authorities to adept some kind Of measures to abate the menace to the public health.
 Dr. Hermano Medeiros, director of the Lisbon hospital, recently placed all the lepers in that ingtitu- ton in separate pavi1Hons and even surrounded a large area by wire hedges, beyond which the lepers are not allowed to pass.
 The director suggests that all lepers be segregated.

dry became the stimulating influence
of this fast five. Accomplishing
their latest victory, however, was no
simple matter, as has been the case in
some Of the recent contests. The
guardsmen were compelled 10 fight a
stiff battle from start TO finish and it
was only by perfect teamwork and
quick action that they succeeded in
trimming up the visitors. The score
was &c to p and would undoubtedly
have been much closer except for the
fact that the Essex County players
suffered considerable il-luck in
shooting baskets.
The outstanding feature of the
