Saturday will be the first gun fired in
the great ELECTORAL campaign.
There is general concurrence on one
point, namely, that the crisis has
been brought about by the restive-
ness of the rank and file Of the con-
servatives who are tired alike Of the
coalition government and Llyod
Georges leadership and eager to get
back to party lines. 1t is stated in
several quarters however, that the
conservative leaders in the coalition
cabinet continue loyal to the premier
and that the sitlation in that respect
is practically identical with the posi-
ton when Lloyd George previously
threatened TO resign unless the con-
servatives gave greater support to
his leadership.
It Is said this loyalty on the part OF
his conservative colleagues 10 having
a great influence on the premiere at

Scientists Succeed

San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. 26-In-
Health Board of the Rockefeller
Foundation, studying the habits Of
the hookworm in Porto Rico, have
ascertained two things about this
parasite which they consider Of great
Importance. One is that the larvae
are shorter lived than had been sup
posed. and the second is that they
possess only limited powers Of loco
motion.
The scientists arc located at Utuar-
do, in the heart Of the coffee country.
Some Of them permitted themselves to
be innoculated in order better to car
ry on their work. They declare that
a life span for the larvae Of from
two to three months is probably the
average, except under most favorable
conditions for longevity. Ordinarily
the larvae do not move of their own
accord more than foot or so from
their base unless they arc seized with
an ambition to work up through the
soil In this case they can work
through a soil covering of consider
ably moro than one foot. The lar
vac seem to have greater capacity
on inclination for altitude than they
do for cross country travel.
The studies which are now being
made were undertaken with the
hope that they would lead
to improved methods of prevent
ing the spread Of possible in
lection and. while tie work has not
yet been completed, tile discovery Of
,"the relatively short life Of the larvae
