BEER REPUDIATED
BY TWO PHYSICIANS

Washington, May 14.-Beer was
repudiated as medicine today by
two members of the medical profes-
sion testifying before the house
judiciary committee in the hearing
on Chairman Volstead's bill to stop
leaks in the dry law.
Not only did the doctors assert
that they never had prescribed beer,
both said that in long practices nei-
ther ever had seen it used in that
way.
The physicians, DR.. Howard A.
Kelly, a surgeon of John Hopkins
hospital,and DR.. James M. H. Row
land, professor at the University OF
Maryland, declared they knew of no
diseases for which beer was q cura-
tive. Both expressed Humiliation"
that the question had been put up to
the medical profession, as was done
by several previous witnesses.

SCIENTIST BRINGS
MESSAGE OF HOPE

New York, May ia message
of hope and fortitude for those af-
flicted with cancer was brought to
America today by Madame Marie
Curre, dsscoverer of radiun and
the worlds foremost woman scient-
ist. She arrived on the Olympic with
her two daughters to receive from
President Harding in behalf Of the
women of the United States one
gramme of radiun, which she said
was desired for use in cancer re-
search. asked if radium was actual
" a cure Madame Currie replied:
Eyes, it is. That is, if it is ap-
piled properly"
The distinguished scientist who
had received the Nobel prize, and
is the first of her sex to occupy a
chair as professor at the Sorbonne,
was greeted at he pier by represent
tatives of the Marie Curie radiun
fund and leading scientific organi-
cations. More than 100 women and
men from Polish sections Of New
York, Chicago and Pittsburgh, car
rying flags and flowers, gathered to
honor her.

An interesting decision of the cir
cult court for Frederick county, Nd.
was upheld last week by the Maryland
Court of Appeals. In the case refer
red to, Jemima Smith sued the Ha-
gerstown and Frederick Railway Com
pany for $4,000 for the death of her
young daughter, Margaret Smith, al
leging negligence on the part OF the
company in not having q guard rail
in front of its car. The child was
run over and killed in Frederick.
When the case was called Attorney
Weinberg, for the railway company,
demurred to the declaration Of the
plaintiff and contended that the child
being an illegtimate the mother could
not recover. Former States ATTORNEY
Lewis and w. Clinton McSherry, at
torneys for Mrs. Smith, held that in
sSmuch as the mother had the right
TO inherit from the child and was
entitled to its services during its
minority she should be allowed to re-
cover for its death. Judge Glenn H.
Worthington sustained the contention
of the railroad company and dismiss
ed the suit.

Luray Caverns Have New Secret.

The Luray Caverns have revealed an
additional attraction. lmbeddei in the
formation that has been caused by the
constant dripping of water, there has
just been found and scientifically ex-
amined a number of bones of a human
being, presumably those of woman.
With the bones that have been shown
ever since the cave was discovered the
new find was made. The ones that
have been shown for long time are
now pronounced by experts as those
Of possibly fox or some other wild
animal that at one time wandered in
to the cave and persisted there. But
there is no doubt about the ones that
have Just been unearthed by DR.. Hrch-
las, of the Smithsonian Institute, Wash
ington, who came up for the purpose
of making a scientific examination Of
the wonders of the cave. What he dis
covered and classified were these
bones, consisting of the knee cap

human being have at last driven away
the hay tradition attaching TO those
that have always been shown, for the
ones that will henceforth be shown to
the world will be surrounded by scien-
ttic authority and no misgivings, to
what they are. Some of them have
been taken by DR.. Hrchlas to Wash
ington, where under improved methods
they will be subjected TO the severest
examinations. The new discovery il
regarded by all as long step in adding
TO the attractions of the Luray Caverns,
for visitors in the future will know be-
You'd all doubt that the bones belonged
to some one that lived, moved and had

wandered into the receSses of "Skele-
ton Gorge" losing her life in the under
ground world The passing Of this ira
dit'on in exchange for a reality that
cannot be questioned is sweeping and
this when known to the outside world
will mean a revelation to even Luray,
which like all the rest Of the unn-
formed world has believed that what
has always been shown as the bones
of human being were nothing less
| than the makeup of some wild animal
Along with the bones that have just
been discovered is evidence, accord
ing to DR.. Hrchlas, that the bones
that have been shown for a long time
belonged to some prehistoric animal,
for new lengths we're found when the
bones were fully uncovered from their
encruSted beds evidencing the fact that
the belonged to some animal of pre-
historic age.With the bones were found
by DR.. Hrchlas bunch of hair, sup
posed TO be that of some wild animal,

biologists claim that the caverns have
been forming at least that long. This
age is based upon scientific and unmis-
taxable facts which demonstrate that
the rate of growth in the cave as es.

RUTH AND H0YT
Big Boy" Playing on His Nerve
Alone, Says Yankees Happy
Manager
is CERTAIN OF VICTORY

New York. Oct. 11.--Miller Hug
gins speaking:
Didn't I tell you so? The Yankees
are the gamest ball club that ever wore
spikes and they were In there fighting
for victory, just like I told you they
would be. we have got the edge again
and We don't intend to lose it this
time" And then he repeated a state.
ment which he has never failed to
make: "We are going right on through
to win this World Series"
Huggins was talkative, for him, on
the subject of Ruth and praised his
great outfielder warmly for his game
ness and spirit. He said that Babe
was playing on his nerve alone and
that too much credit couldn't be given
him for his willingness to make every
kind of personal sacrifice and to risk
still greater physical injury by playing
in the condition he was in for the sake
of the teams success.
Hoyts performance in the box yes.
terday pleased the Yankee leader great
ly and he credited the Brooklyn young
ster with stellar effort, particularly
after the fourth inning. He admitted
that In the first three innings he had
worried as to his Fingers ability to
get going properly, but said that once
Hoyt began to pitch as he could when
at his best, he knew the game was in.
All the Yankee players were slapping
the pitching hero Of the day on the
back and there was a contrast in the
actions of the players yesterday and on
the previous days.
Don't believe this stuff you hear
about my being In a bad way for pitch
ers,' said Huggins. 'The trouble Is I
can't decide which one to call on.
Shawkey has got just as much stuff as
he ever had. He is a smart pitcher and
though he has been in losing streak
recently, I feel certain that he can come
back and beat the Giants. Harper,
too, is anxious for a crack at McGraw's
team"
