 The investigation has never be- fore been attempted by a state board of health in the nation and Dr. Welch expressed the opinion that dairymen will be as much interested in the results of the investigate n as any other person.

DISCARDS EMPEROR'S STAMPS
German Government to Call In All
of Germania Type on
October 81.

Berlin.-One Of the last remaining
symbols of the old regime in Germany
will pass away with the withdrawal
of all postage stamps Of the familiar
"Germania" type on October 81 next.
This striking design, first adopted
in 1900, played a measurable part in
fostering the militarist movement that
brought disaster upon the fatherland.
The original Of the maiEclad figure
of Germania was Fraulein Anna Fuhr-
ing of the imperial opera, whose por-
trayal of the role so impressed the
former kaiser that he ordered her
likeness to be placed upon the new
postage stamps of the empire.
Since the establishment of the re-
public numerous protests have been
lodged against the continuance of this
design and now that the new indus
trial series of stamps has been COM
pIeted, instructions for its suppression
have been issued.

Then success came to him from q

he won the o. Henry prize for the
best American short story Of 1921.
The award is an annual Offering
made by the Society Of Arts and
Sciences of New York as a memorial
to o. Henry. In addition to the rec

FAIL TO DIAGNOSE PHTHIsIS
French Expert Tells British How
Lung Trouble Fools Doctors
Many Not Consumption.

Glasgow.-Doctors often fail to di-
agnose correctly lung consumption as
distinct from other respiratory dis
ease, according to Prof. Erist of Paris,
in a recent address before the British
Medical association.
The speaker said that in 1915, at
Compeigne, 182 men were sent into
the hospital with diagnosis of tuber-
culosis Observations showed the di-
agnosis to be justified in only 80 cases.
The 139 cases, he declared, were un-
doubtedly nonconsumptive.
In 1918 Doctor Erist examined 342
men in Paris said to have consump-
ton. OF these only 81 had lung con-
sumption, % were not definitely dag
nosed and 2S3 were certainly nontu-
bercular.

CLEW TO LOST ISLAND RACE
Stone Images in Easter Island
Which May Tell the Story.

Sydney.-Prof. MacMillen Brown, a
noted POlynesian authority, has re-
turned from Easter island, which, he
says, is the most inaccessible place In
the world.
The huge cattle ranch there owned
by a Valparaiso firm is worked by 800
natives and two whites, and is visited
annually by a Chilean schooner. There
are no. land birds or native animals,
and once small gray rats were used
as currency and ultimately served as
titbits for the aristocracy.
Professor Brown examined the 100
famous stone images in human form
standing on great stone platforms, be-
low which are chambers where are
placed the bleached bones of the dead
Some of the statues are Of immense
size, fully 20 feet in height and
crowned by huge stone hats.
The professor believes that tens of
thousands of workmen erected the
monuments to the people Of a bygOne
Pacific empire inhabiting the ring of
archipelagoes whereof Easter island
is the center. The native name means
navel or center Of the earth. PrOfes-
sor Browns theory is that food was
taken to the workers Ill canoes from
neighboring islands by the masters
who came to bury the great men of
the race.
There is unmistakable evidence of
the sudden abandonment Of the work,
probably a cataclysm submerged the
islands, cutting off the supplies of the
workers
