CAUSE OF GoITER
By pR. CLIFFORD c. ROBINSON

The cause of goiter has been re gently subjected to much discussion on the part of physicians and laymer alike.
 Much light has been thrown on tht so-called sources of focal infection Mysteries which have surrounded goiter, chronic rheumatism and dis cases of the stomach and kidneys have been under strict observation Intestinal stagnation may cause true infection by icro-organisms pene- trating the tissues However, many cases of chemical poisoning, it is now believed, are due to focal infection, arising in other regions. | pr. De Courey of Cincinnati, head of the goiter clinic at Seton Hospi- l tai. has advanced the statement that goiter is caused by fatigue or excess sive exercise. After the treatment of three thousand patients, he is posi- tive that much careful thought must be given the subject of physical excer- else in schools and other places, by girls and women.
 Eight women develop goiter to every two men.
 Excessive athletic and gymnastic work. especially in high schools, when girls are going through the adoles- cent period, in my opinion is being overdone at present." the doctor says. Several years ago advanced the theory that fatigue plays an import ant part in the. production of goiter, and felt that the growth develops when the normal limit of a patients endurance IS exceeded, whether sud- denly or gradually. Women develop goiter more readily, because their zone of endurance is more narrowed than that of men.
 If the growth of goiter in girls and women can be prevented by careful dieting and, as Dr. Courey says, by avoiding nervous tension and strenu- GUS exercise; one of the greatest dis asters may be thing of the past in paratively few years.

 Pour # cup water over oysters and l drain in colander. Strain liquid | through cheesecloth and bring to the | oiling point. Look over oysters and add to hot liquor.

Letter From Leslie Prescott to Leslie Prescott, Care the Secret Drawer.

wonder, dear Little Marquise, if men were the same in your day that they are now. From all I have read in the histories and biographies of court life and courtiers, it seems to me there were just as many trage- dies then as there are today. And almost all those tragedies were the tragedies of women

HOUSE WOULD
ABOLISH LASH
IN FLORIDA
Would Do Away With
Floggings in Convict
Camps.
TABERT DEATH CASE
Opposition Says Negroes
Can't Be Handled With
out Whip.
TABERT DEATH CASE
Tallahassee, Fla, April 19.-Work

Tallahassee, Fla, April 19.-Work-
ing up to the first step in abolishing
The whip in Florida convict camps,
the Senate today received from the
lower chamber of the Florida gen.
eral assembly, an amendment pro-
posed to the present statute, which
would do away with whipping, a
means of punishment now legally en-
ployed.
Over the opposition of 80 negative
voters, the bill passed the House late
yesterday with less debate and cross
fire than had been expected. The
main theme of the opposition CEN
tered on the inability to control ne
gro convicts at times without the
use of the lash.
Meanwhile the special joint COM
mittee, investigating the death of
Martin Tabert, of North Dakota, con-
tinued to call witnesses of Tabert's
death, alleged to have been caused by
the whip in q Dixie county lumber
camp, where he was under lease. For
his death, Walter Higginbotham,
former camp whipping boss, is I'M
der Indictment for first-degree MUIR
der.
Tabert's death is mainly responsible
for various legislative inquiries into
alleged brutality, and resultant bills
aimed at abolishing the whip and the
convict lease system within the
state.
DIR. T. Capers Jones, camp physi-
clan, testified yesterday that he had
attended Tabert prior to his death,
and that Tabert really had died from
disease which manifested ulcers
and running Sores. later developing
into pneumonia. On being ques-
toned by the committee as 10 what
effect beating such as had been
described by other witnesses, would
have had on man in Tabert's con-
dition, the physician replied:
II think it would have killed him."
John Gardner, of Fort Sam Hous-
ton, Texas, testified that he had been
whipped by Higginbotham and had
witnessed the beating of Tabert, in
(which more than 100 lashes had been
given, he said. Ernest Priest, an
employe of the Putnam Lumber COM
pany, testified that he had found
the whip used by Higginbotham, and
that 1t scaled two pounds in weight.

exists and permitted 10 enter would
naturally enable American industries
TO get all the labor needed without
having TO pay competitive prices as
against each other. Many Of Amer
ica's concerns have scouts searching
the country with offers of higher
wages TO men in other trades. This
condition is naturally desirable from
the viewpoint Of organized labor as
wages tend TO 90 upward. But the
drive Of the United States Chamber OF
Commerce is not to increase to any
substantial extent the number Of per-
sons admitted 10 America, but TO ex-
ercise more care in the selection of
the types TO enter so that American
industry will be assured Of a steady
supply O. foreign workmen and so
that the costs of production will not
go so high as to damage the fabric of
industry itself for there can be a limit
to high labor costs beyond which COM
panies will not find it profitable to
operate on as large q scale as at pres
ent.
The committee of the United States
Chamber of Commerce takes the pres
ent law which permits per cent OF
the existing proportion of each ma
tionality already in the United States
and would add Il possible > per cent.
The number of immigrants at present
admissible by 3 per cent quota system
is 35T ,S03. By making it a total
of per cent, the number would
actually come as some Of the So
called quotas from Northern and
Western Europe last year fell below
quotas.
Tests OF Suitability.
Under the proposed plan there
would be tests of the physical. mental
and moral suitability of immigrants
and that the standards should be made
with due recognition of the kinds of
immigrants most needed in America
II, for instance, there is a shortage
of skilled workmcn, every effort
should be made to spread informa-
ton in those countries where n desir-
able class of labor may be obtain
able.
The Chamber of Commerce insists
that the policy Of the government
should be based upon consideration Of
the best interests of the country as n
whole. not upon the benefits that may
accrue to any group, manufacturers.
farmers, laborers or others. rs well
as upon consideration for the immi-
grant himself"
Secretary Davis of the Department
of Labor, is at work on similar
plan and hopes TO make definite rec
Ommendation for new legislation when
Congress reconvenes. President Hard
ing will have 10 take a stand on the
matter to get attention from Congress
as the tendency in that body will nat
urally be to avoid Il controversy with
labor. The friends of the seectve
plan. however. think they will be able
to demonstrate TO organized labor that
the selective process will help rather
than hurt their causes and that oppo-
sition TO it would be mistaken. The
