Soldiers Strange Injury.

Boston, July 26.-Famous surgeons
of Boston today examined Harry
Stanley, war veteran, who, rendered
deaf by the explosion of German
shell five years ago, has a passage
through his head. He can pass small
articles through his head, into one
ear and out the other, or into his
mouth and either ear. The physi-
clans claim that Shanley's is ore Of
the strangest and most interesting
medical cases that has come out of
the war.
Early in the war German high
explosive shell burst over Shanley's
head, knocking him and 296 other
soldiers to the ground. All were left
deaf by the conclusion, and Stanley
is the only one of the group who did
not lose power of speech also.
Major Frederick L. Began, former
Yankee division surgeon and now at
tached to the Eye and Ear Hospital
staff, declared yesterday he had eX-
amined Stanley, and there will be a
consultation of Boston specialists
next week, when X-rays will be TAX
en- to solve the mystery.

Woman Slayer Surrenders

Chicago, July 26.-Fearful that her
six little children would be left with
out food or care, Mrs. Amelia Pan
leo. who Yesterday stabbed Mrs. Vir-
einia Esposito to death, telephoned
the police today that she would sur
render. The police had let it be
known about the neighborhod that
unless the mother surrendered they
would take the children to some in
stitution.
It now appears that the killing,
which is the twelfth in that imme-
diatc district since January, was the
result of pealousy. 1t is said that
Panico has been seen much with Mrs.
Esposito ever since her husband was
assassinated, and about two weeks
ago Mrs. Panico heard of it. She
followed her husband to Mrs. Es-
posito's home at that time, intending
to kill her in his presence, but some
thing arose to prevent. So she bided
her time, and while the streets were
full of the clamor of wedding feast
yesterday she sought out her rival
and cut her to death. Mrs. Panico
was carrying her youngest child in
her arms at the time. She FASTENED
home and left it with an aged
granny and she and her husband
disappeared.

PROHIBITION CAUSING BIG IN
SANITY INCREASE

New York, July 26.-The stuff
that sells for liquor has caused
more insanity since prohibition was
proclaimed in the United States
tahr shell-shock and kindred influ-
ences caused during the war, it was
asserted today by Dr.. Perry NJ.
Lichtensteia, resident physician at
the Tombs.
He told commission in lunacy,
sitting in IN assault case, that many
eases of alcoholic insanity had
come to his attention since prohibi-
lion. Poisonous substitutes alb
orbed by drinkers create a toxic
condition which deadens and de-
stroys the nervous system and pro-

Bandits Rob Warehouse

Philadelphia, July 26.-Whiskey and
liquors worth $4,000 were stolen
early today from the warehouse of
Morris Schiff, at Frankford. About
twenty-five men took part, l3 were
white and the others were colored.
According to the police, the white
men stood in two lines of guards
while the colored men raided the
place. The whiskey bandits who
stood guard menaced with revolvers
several persons who were aroused.
Today Schiff declared he could not
see how the robbery could have been
successful unless there was some
connivance between police and the
crooks. He asserted he would call
on Superintendent Mills and lay that
phase of the case before him.
81 have paid police to keep a watch
on my place." he declared, "as at
tempts were made to rob it twice
before"
The robbers used two motor-trucks
and two touring cars. In them they
hauled away 45 cases and 35 barrels
of liquors and wines. 1t is said the
robbery was carried out with mill
tary precision. The 13 armed white
men posted themselves as sentries to
prevent possible interruption, string
ing themselves out for block along
the street approaching the ware
house.

President Harding Alarmed
at Famine-Plague
Reports
PELLAGRA RAVISHES
Public Health Service Says Probably
10000 VIII Die of Disease-Writes
Red Cross.

Washington, July 26.--Alarmed at
reports of a threatened "semi-fam-
ine," coupled with an epidemic of
penagra, III a large section of the
Southern cotton belt, President
Harding today requested both the
Public Health Service and the Amer
lean Red Cross to make immediate
Investigation and report what could
be done By the Federal Government
to relieve the situation.
The fullest cooperation of all
Federal agencies in the relief meas
ures was promised by the President,
who declared that if found necessary
Congress would be asked to pass
special legislation. He urged that
no time be lost in ascertaining the
actual conditions and applying to
them effective remedy.
The threat of "famine and plague"
the President wrote to the Health
Service and the Red Cross, seemed
to arise from the fact that depres-
sed markets had made it impossible
for the people of large section Of
the south to sell their stocks Of cot
ton. The resulting shortage of
money, he said, apparently had de-
prived many thousands of the va
riety of fool necessary TO ward off
pel'agra.
The President in his letter to Sur
geon-General Cumming said:
81 have teen greatly concerned
to note the public statement from
the Public Health Service as to the
menace of pellagra and condition of
at least semi-famine in large
section of the cotton belt. That
such a condition is obviously tenn
porary incident to the economic dis
location following the war cannot
lessen our concern. Famine and
plague are words almost foreign to
our American vocabulary, save as
we have learned their meaning in
connection with the afflictions Of
lands less favored and toward which
our people have as many times dis
played large and generous charity.
Immediate and effective measures
of amelioration are manifestly de-
manded if conditions even approxi-
mate the gravity suggested by the
public health report. II is unthink-
able that we should delay for a
single day the institution Of such
measures. Therefore, 7 am writing
to ask you for the most complete
possible report that can be made at
cnce-7providel there is anything to
add to what you have already made
public-especially for suggestion of
proper measures to deal with the
situation.

committee the playground on South
Lee street that has just been opened
under her department of Social Serv-
ice of the Salvation Army, with
Captain Mcintyre in charge.
In order to clean the grounds a
game was played where three groups
of boys representing the French, the
English and the United States troops
advanced upon the Germans.
The Germans were supposed to be
secreted behind fort composed of
trash, tin cans, brick bats, ect., and
the allies advanced, using for am
munition every ca nand brick that
was scattered upon the ground, and
bombed the fort. After first as
sault had been made the captain or
dered up the various troops to at
tack separately and then grand
bombardment, with the result that
the fort was conquered, the allies
triumphant, and the grounds fairly
we'll freed from rubbish. With
series of games of this nature the
grounds will be in good condition.
The boys, of the neighborhood are
enthusiastic, while the mothers of
the little ones are most grateful,
and several were watching their chill
dren playing in the two sand piles
that had been arranged for them,
one is located under the big tree.
A sliding board is soon TO be placed
and other inexpensive equipment Will
be arranged for, but the most essen
tial factor is the teacher. Captain
Mcintyre is trained in this kind OF
worl, with boys and girls and knows
a number of playground sports and
games. He stated that the grounds
would be supervised from $3.50 to II
every morning and from to 6:3O IN
the afternoon.
This means that during those hours
the grounds will be in charge OF
reliable person, Captain Mcintyre
will either be there himself or will
have a trained substitute.
The quick responsiveness of the
CAPTAIN to forward any plans that
Mrs. Howard lays before him that
deals with her department is most
inspiring, and such trained. ettl-
cient worker is appreciated by the
entire board.
In addition to this daytime work
on theplaygrounds every Thursday
night the captain holds an open ar
Salvation Army service on this
ground. with the Salvation Army
band always present.
