numerous welfare organizations in Della
ware under one bureau was discussed by
the New Castle County Medical Society

medical circles and it is expected that
it will be presented early in the January

A man who could not move his
head a fraction of an inch was treat
ed by DR.. Blumer. After ten min
Ute treatment the man could turn his
head from side to side without trou-
BILE. He had undergone four opera
tons and had been given up as a
hopeless case. He is now in Bridge
port happy man.
A Soung lad who had been unable
to speak was treated and was able
in about eight minutes to speak to
his mother and sister, to the aston~
ishment of the audience.
A woman who was totally deaf was
treated for ten minutes. She was
then given a number of tests which
convinced the entire audience that
she was able to hear distinctly.
A young lady whose entire body
shook and vibrated violently was
given a short treatment. She was
then able to hold her arm out straight
without shaking and her whole body
became quiet and seemed full of new
life.
A man who had not been able to
move any part of his body and who
had been paralyzed for 15 years was
brought onto the stage by two friends.
After a fifteen minute treatment he
was able to move his arms and legs
and finally walked off the stage un-
aided.

Alter Leads PinchOt
By Little OUer rs, 900

Philadelphia, May 1.-THE race for
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania at yesterdays
primary election between Attorney
General George E. Alter end Clifford
Pinchot, former state forester, was
one of the closest in years Complete
figures probably will be necessary to
determine the winner.
With nearly two-thirds of the state
heard from early today Alter was
leading by a little more than $4,000
These returns included all but six
districts in Philadelphia. an Alter
stronghold, and more than one half
of Allegheny county, in which Pitts
burgh is located and which is the
attorney-general's home. The ma
GRITTY of the missing districts are out
jside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh,
where Pinchot ran very strong, and
additional figures are expected ma
terially to reduce Alters lead.
