betea Is. tltey:.haye been for countless
centuries, DIR. Simon FIexner said in
an address at the Montefiore Hos.
pital on Gun Hill road. DIR. Flexner,
who is of the Rockefeller Institute
OF Medical Research, is an authority
on diabetic subjects and has develop
ed new treatments for the disease.
He talked on Discovery in Medi-
cine"
In speaking OF the cures he is
evolving he declared the time was
not far distant when curatives would
be in the hands Of every physician in
the world, and one more great evil
will have gone the way of typhoid
and other diseases for which inocula-
tive serums have been discovered.
I'VE have a more practical knowI-
edge Of disease" said DR.. F1exner,
because we have greater knowledge
Of science, though we haven't any
better minds as minds than the
Greeks had or the people Of the
seventeenth century.
Medicine was once system that
-religiously followed certain treat
ments for certain diseases with no
change. The use of peruvian bark
and quinine for the treatment of
chills and fever created a commotion
with the result that today we have
rational attitude toward medicine"
DIR. Flexner referred to the cen
tenary Of Louis Pasteur, the great
French scientist, this year, and spoke
of the death of Jenner. He said,
speaking Of recent discoveries, that
the discovery of insulin by Banting
was an accident, but its cure OF dia.

SCHWAB WARNS
Of IMITATION
DANGER
Business Booming and Future
Is Bright If over-expansion
of 1920 Does Not Return.
b cosnopOlltan News servlee.

NEW YORK, April 17.--''While
business is booming and is on a
firm foundation, every precau-
ton should be taken to prevent
expansion bringing period of in
fIation.' Charles M. Schwab, head
Of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation,
said today. He warned against
allowing the boom bring a boom
eIang in business which would re-
suit from over.expansion such as
characterized 1920.
Indications art" he said, that
we are entering into a period of
business expansion and the utmost
caution must be exercised so as to
prevent this from developing into a
secondary initiation, which would
be disastrous.
Business is plentiful and indus
try is active throughout the coun-
try and we have every reason to
feel happy over the situation.
Straight Course Needed.
"Our job RICH. now is to keep on
an even keel and steer q straight
course. Business. is on firm
foundation and must be kept there.
Economic conditions abroad are
not as promising al / would have
them. But / am not at all dis
couraged over the outlook, and /
think progress is being made and
will be made the remainder Of the
year.
II have always found the steel
industry is pretty accurate indi-
Gator of industrial conditions.
Bethlehem's plants are all working
almost to capacity, and i am sure
the same conditions apply to most
other steel mills.
It is rather good sign that
good part of this steel Is going into
new construction work and rail
road equipment.
His Word Of Advice.
This indicates business leaders
are looking forward in an effort
to meet demands that will be made
on them for increased production
and increased transportation.
IF there is one word OF advice
would give, it would be that we
proceed carefully and place our
confidence In the integrity and good
judgment of American business

SAYS BRIDE
English War Widow Charges
Husband Already Had
Two Wives Living.

, ONEIDA, N. Y, April 17.-Charg-
ing that she was tricked into a mar.
rage by a man who already had two
living wives from whom he had re-
ceived no legal freedom, Mrs. Edith
Cornish MacMichaels, daughter OF
a prominent English family, has
started annuIment proceedings
against George "A. MacMichaels,
forty-five.year-old milk tester, for.
n1er New York State official.
Mrs. MacMichaels, who is twenty
eight, married the Morrisville man
after romance that had its incep-
ton by mail. The milk tester an
swered an advertisement In which
the English woman, who crossed to
Canada after her first husband had
been slain in the world war, sought
employment as l1ousekeeper. She
made ii condition that she was to
keep her five-year-old son with her.
1t is alleged that MacMichaels and
the widow were married in Montreal
ON September last. The plaintiff
in her suit claims that MacMichaels
assured her he was a single man.
but that, following their arrival at
Morrisville, neighbors dropped hints
that other women had claims to his
name.
Mrs. MacMichaels said:
After short while neighbors
with whom / became friendly asked
me it I was the wife George had
had at q MorrisvilIe hotel the sam
mer before.
asked him about 1t and he
finally told me he had not been
married to the woman. / then took
the matter up with a LAWYER and we
found ne had been married in 1897
sat Woostoclx, Canada, to a woman
named Olive Blake, and that he had
had two children, one of whom was
dead. They lived together about
eight years and then he deserted
her.
!, Again in 1906, in Detroit, Mich,
he married widow named Sadie
Brooks After a number OF years he
also left her. He claims he has not
heard from her in six years and the
last he knew she was living near
Auburn, N. Y.
He said the law provides that a
man who had not heard from his
wife in five years was free. I found
this was not SO unless there were
court proceedings, and told him so"

Motorists Are II, Confusion
As One-Way Streets Change

Two Of Washington's one-way
thoroughfares 18th and 18th
streets northwest-were one way
in name only last night.
For automobiles were going both
north and south on these arteries
of travel just as they did in the
days when there were no one-way
streets. ....
The confusion resulted from the
putting into effect of the order
adopted by the Commissioners
thirty days ago. reversing the di-
rcction of travel on those two
streets. When the government
departments let out their thou
sands yesterday at noon a traffic
jam began which lasted most of
the afternoon. Policemen were
perspiring and blowing their
whistles frantically at motorists,
just as perspiring and just as in
sistent on footing their horns.
Everybody knew he was right and
nobody would admit he was wrong.
Fortunately for the puzzled
drivers. the police did not make
arrests last night, realizing that
such a change in the regulations
would cause some misunderstand-
ing the first day. Misunderstand-
ing was right!
