MEMORIAL TO
GENERAL CORCAS
is PROPOSED
President Of Argentina Will Advise
Joining in Plan to Honor
Canal Zone Hero

Buenos Aires, March S0.-President
Irigoyen, of Argentina, understood to
have under consideration participa-
ton by'this country in the construc-
ton of a great scientific laboratory at
Panama, which is planned as me-
mortal to the late General VIM. c.
Gorgas.
DR.. Franklin II. Martin. of Chicago,
member of the preliminary commit
tee appointed by President Gorgas, of
Panama, to gain support for the me-
mortal, recently discussed the project
with President lrigoyan.
The proposal is for the nations of
North and South America to unite to
erect memorial in the canal zone to
the man who first succeeded in con
quering tropical pestilance. Because
of the work done by General Gorgas,
it is pointed out, nations in the trop-
les are able to compete with nations
in the temperate zone, both in indus
try and healthfulness. 1t has been con-
sidered that the most fitting memorial
would be the construction of a labor
'atory open to the physicians of the
world who wished to undertake re-
search work connected with diseases
of the tropics.

this state. Although supposed to be
dying out the order still attracts wide
attention, because of it's mysterious
rites which Americans seldom are per-
mitted to witness.
p The principles and practices of the
order are said to have come from
Italy through Spain and Mexico.
Last Friday was one of the rare
occasions, according to the artists
when Americans were permitted tc
witness the most solemn ceremonies
performed by the penitenties.
THE Penitenties formed in a long
procession" said Norfeldt. "and
marching to slow, weird music, beat
themselves with thorn whips soaked
in brine water. to wound themselves
and make their wounds smart One
man carried large wooden cross un-
der the weight of which he fell ex-
hausted, frequently. The procession
ended with the erection of two cross
es with members of the order tied to
them"
1t is considered an honor among the
Penitentes to suffer at the crucifixion.

For the benefit of those men who are
vocationally handicapped the Auxiliary

by tho women and the proceeds are
turned over to the veterans.

report Is true, TO see that the man
is apprehended, expelled from the Le-
gion and brought TO a speedy trial.
Bergdoll has been the target of nu-
merous attacks of the American Le-
glon. When he escaped" from prison

capture and number of Legion posts
In many parts of the country took
similar action to bring about his cap
