SCIENCE FINDS
MEANS To KILL
DEADLY GERMS
Botuiinus in Canned Goods De-
stroyed by Heat, Re-
port Declares.

As the result OF three years re-
search by the medical schools of
Harvard and California Universities.
in cooperation with the United
States Public Health Services,
methods for eliminating the deadly
Bacillus botulinus from canned
foods have been definitely deter
mined. At the same time, the
scientists engaged reported that the
public mind has greatly exagger-
ated the extent Of outbreaks OF
botuline poisoning. less than one
occurrence for every 1000, 900. 900
cans annually packed being noted.
Heat Is the destructive and ster.
ilizing agent successfully employed
against what the bacteriologists
terms "B. botulinus."
After the can Is sealed" says the
report, the application Of heat de.
stroys the bacteria that grow on all
fresh food. In order to make can.
ned food safe 1t was necessary to
learn the exact heat necessary to
kill botulinus in every kind OF
food"

Four Midshipmen Co. on Trial
Today for Breach Of
Discipline.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Oct. 16.-One
hundred fourth-class men were
summoned today to testify before
the courtmartial which began an
investigation of hazing at the Naval
Academy. Four midshipmen are on
trial.
1t was said that the accused mid
shipmen would take the position
that they were making use of au.
thorized means of discipline over
underclass men.
Rear Admiral Henry B. Wilson,
superintendent of the academy, de.
clares that hazing here is not wide
spread. He predicted that the
courtmartial would not find more
than ten specific cases.
Underclass men will be asked TO
tell whether or not they were hazed
and most OF them are reluctant to
do so, 1t is said. The superintendent
has been trying to impress on them
their obligation to the service in
the matter.

US. PLANNING
To RECOGNIZE. .
ObRECON RULE
Feeling Prevails Mexican Gov.
eminent Has Shown
Good Faith.
BY JOHN GOLDSTROM,
Universal Service.


Announcement of diplomatic
recognition of Mexico by the
United States may come sud
denly in the very near future.
This is the belief of persons in
close touch with internal de-
velopments.
The principal reason for this
expectation is that the United
States government is anxious to-
have Mexico represented in the
Pan-American conference Of the
twenty-one y American republics
in Chile next March. And as
Mexico cannot take part unless
she has an officially accredited
representative at Washington the
American government is con-
sidering means Of expediting
recognition.
Mexico Is Ready.
Although the Pan.American con
ference is five months off. 'prepara-
tions for it are under way. and II will
be necessary for Mexico definitely to
know it's status within the next few
weeks in order that she may make
adequate arrangements. The MeXi'
can government has decided that II
will not participate unofficialy, but
1t is preparing it's agenda so that II
will be ready to accept an Official
invitation.
It is expected that Secretary
Hughes will relax a little OF the
rigidity OF his latitude toward the
Obregon government in the matter
of guarantees for American property
rights below the border, particularly
in view OF the fact that President
Obregon has shown both by the sta
bility Of his administration and by
his demonstrations OF Willingness 10
make every reasonable concession
that he merits recognition.
The State Department knows that
the Mexican supreme court 10 pre.
narinR further decisions affecting
American property rights. and that
these rulings are certain to be In har-
mony with those favorable ones
which have already been handed
down.
The fact also that Mexico has de.
posited in New York banks $5,OO0.-
200 of the SIS 900 900 interest pay
ment on the Mexican debt due jan
uary l, IL having a favorable effect
as showing the determination OF the
Obregon government to carry out
it's financial engagements, which
have been approved by the Mexican
congress and President Obregon.
Money From Oil Tax.
The money delivered to New York
bankers Is the first proceeds OF the
new petroleum tax, and as fast as
this impost is collected II will be
diverted to payment OF interest on
the debt up TO the amounts agred
upon by Secretary of the Treasury
de La Huerta and the international
bankers.
A complete squelching OF the Muir.
guia outbreaks. financed from the
American side OF the border by enc
mics Of the Obregon government
has given the Mexican president
added prestige with the Harding Ad'
ministration. Murguia's few follow
ers, all OF them mercenaries, have
been scattered and his lieutenants
captured and executed. The army.
less general himself Is surround
ed in the Durango hills.
The purchase Of a new embassy
at Mexico City by the United States
government. while II may have no
direct significance, is taken to te sn
encouraging sign. 1t is believed that
the purchase would have been de-
layed II recogpition were far Off.

Ware Authoress, Warns Fay King IN
Tale of Dentist. -.

One day the beautiful authOress

the lobby Of . movie theater.
He was afraid to 60 home with
II and he was afraid to 60 hOIhe

He hadn't bargained upon the

tiOn.
II. the story he was pictured as
. poor dub unhappily married to q
terrible wife and secretly dying Of
love for his unknown patient. He
trembled at the thought Of every.
one he had told to read Il.
But, fortunately, his wife had .
keen sense Of humor, and when he
came home she laughed until tears
came into her eyes over the whole
thing and told him II ought to
teach him q lesson.
He crawled into his office the
next day dreading to see anybody
who had an appointment. But,
TO his surprise, they all came and
not one mentioned the story to
him and he didn't mention II TO
them. and 50 everything passed
off nicely, which, as ] said, goes
to prove that the less said about
anything the better!

Elephant
BY GnIxersaI Service.

GADSDEN, Ala, Oct. 10
Jack Reaves saw an elephant
for the first time yesterday.
He had come to town each
"circus day" for twenty years,
but always missed the elephant.
"You know" said Jack, this
is the first time l haven't been
able to get a drink, and guess
that's why I got to See the ele-
plants today. I.always used to
get drunk and when the parade
would start the police would
have me locked up. Then when
I'd get sober and they'd let me
out of Jail the circus would be
gone"
Reaves contended that had it
not been for prohibition he
would never have attained his
life ambition-to see a real,
live elephant.

prohibition" he said, "but there
are some good points about II"

BY FAY KING.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The less
you say about anything the better.
This Is what happened to one
guy who hung 50 much paper

happened he wished he had cut out
the ballyho0.
New York Il full Of ambitious
young authOresses who turn every
thing into romance and some time

young authoresses suffered with .

smearing her lipstick on . hit
hurriedly and sticking her most
becoming hat on at . coquettish
angle-and not forgetting to dab
. drop Of exotic perfume on the
tip Of each ear-she ran out to
find q dentist.
Seeing . sign she dashed mp to
the office and after an examination
the dentist told her that three
teeth needed to be filled. This re-
lieved her mind somewhat as sho
thought from the pain that they
would all have to be pulled.
Well, after the second or third
trip to the dentists chair. she con-
fided In him the news that while
she had been keeping these ap-
pOintments she had become inspir-
ed TO write q story for which he
had been tho inspiration, and nat
urslly he was pleased.
Dentist Hero OF Story.
On the last visit while she was
paying her bill he asked her how
the story was coming on. and she
said great and promised to let
him know exactly when Il would
