Joaquin Valley Disease

nearly all the symptoms of tuber-
culosis of the lungs, according to
DIR. Fred e. Gundrum, vice pres
ident of the California state board
of health.
The disease was first discovered
about Is years ago by DR.. Will
liam Ophuli, of Stanford univer-
sity. DR.. Gundrum said.
The disease in it's spread, DR..
Gundrum said, very often attacks
the brain, and then its symptoms
are similar to those of meningitis.
1t is nearly always fatal. 1t is
chronic, slow growing affection Of
which so little is known that its
treatment is difficult.
The name Of San Joaquin valley
disease was attached to the affec-
tion because for several years that
section of the state Of California
was the only known source. How
ever. in recent years other cases
have been found in various local
tiles in the country.

as Patronage Deal

Cincinnati. Ohio. June 13.-(By The
Associated Press. s.)-Unqualified con
demnation of the ship subsidy bill was
voted unanimously Tuesday by the de.
legates at the American Federation of
Labor convention. almost simultane-
ously with President Harding's dis
patch of a letter asking congress to
pass the measure under threat of an
extra session. The convention also
voted to send protest against the
passage of the bill to tae senate and
house leaders.

ton adopted by the convention as a
"cunningly devised scheme to enrich
certain classes of so-called American
ship owners at the expense of the
truly American taxpayer, and also to
provide patronage which is certain to
be used for purely political purposes"
