More Motor Touring
in Central States

Chicago. There has been approx
imately IA per cent more travel by
touring automobiles through the Cen
trail states, both east and west bound,
during the first five months Of this year
than during the corresponding months
of last year, according to statistics
compiled by the Chicago Automobile
club.
During the first five months in 1923,
17,443 motorists registered at the Chi
cago club, as compared with 1873 dur
ing the first five months of 1922.
The answers to the call of the road

than in 1922 when 1908 tourists
stopped at the club during January.
The travel continued heavy during Feb
ruary, when 1875 registered as COM
pared with 1909 during February, 1922.

Chimpanzee in London
Zoo Is Mad Over Jazz

Londonderry, a young Chimpanzee
which has Just been installed in the
lemur house at the zoo, Is jazz mad,
declares at. A." in the Westminster
Gazette. He had been In his cage
barely fifteen minutes when he began
to one-step and fox trot around the
floor, beating time rhythmically, first
with one foot and then another.
His keeper looked on at first In
anazement, for chimpanzees are not
usually afflicted with the terpsichorean
mania Then he began to whistle a
ragtime. which joey appeared fully to
understand. syncopation included.
Even when perched on. his pole Joey
cannot keep still for long. The gentlest
suggestion of music will start him
beating time, and In a few seconds the
pole Is swaying to the rhythm of a
thrilling sirnian jazz.
But although music can set Joey
pxancing, 1t cannot assuage the savage
beast In him. He Will have to grow
much less savage and spiteful before
suitable dancing partner can be
found for him.

MOTHERS LEAVE BABIES
AT DOOR OF INSTITUTION
Revolving Panel in Wall Makes
Parting irrevUcabIe.

Rio de Jane.ro--One of the most
curious institutions in this city Is the
"Casa dos Expostos," a founding
asylum that receives its small inmates
through q, sort of revolving door which
Is so built In wall that the person
operating it from the outside cannot
see inside the building nor be seen by
persons within.
The purpose Of this mysterious door
is to enable unfortunate mothers to
place their offspring In safe keeping
without revealing their identity or
whatever secrets may have been con-
nected with their existence.
Most Of the foundlings, the asylum
officials say, are put within the re
volving door at night when there is
little or no traffic on the street out
side. With the turning of the door a
bell rings, which announces to the at
PENDANTS that new guest has arrived.
If note giving the child's name or
other Information is pinned to its
clothes 1t is baptized with that name,
but once baby Is placed within the
door by the despairing mother, it Is
never returned, no matter what change
In fortune may come to the mother or
what claims she may advance to sup
port her repentance.
The inmates OF the "Casa dos Elk
postos" are raised like orphans and
prepared for life with the best care
within the ability of the gentle nuns
who manage the institution. Many OF
the children are adopted by childless
couples. Founded In 1888. the institu-
ton In the two centuries of it's exist
ence has furnished more than $4,000
citizens to this city, some of whom
achieved renown and high position
and their Introduction to the world
was revolving door.

st. Louis, Mo.-Mrs. Bertha Hor-
chem, professional aviatrix, of Ran
som, Kans., established q new altitude
record for women by ascending 1890

Mrs. Horchem was in the air two
hours and eight minutes When she

the cockpit, her hands and feet being
frost-bitten, despite her winter clothes.

BOGUS ANTIQUES FLOOD

New York Museum and Louvre
Are Victims, He Asserts.

Paris--America is heavily loaded
with bogus "antiques" and the Louvre
in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum
of TT in New York have been buying
Spurious pieces for years, Jean Vigou-
roux told the court at the opening OF
his trial on charges of diverting funds
and art treasures, filed by the Partisan
antiquarian, George Joseph Denote,
whose New York branch was formerly
managed by Vigouroux.
The specific charges against Vigou-
r0ux are based on the alleged diversion
Of $1,000 of the branch's funds and the
disappearance of Persian manuscripts
valued at 100000 francs, later recov-
cred by M. Denote. vigouroux was
arrested. when he returned to France,
as he claimed, to obtain justice.
Yigouroux denied any wrongdoing,
offered explanations Of the alleged IT.
reguiarities and turned the trial into
a public denunciation Of Denote as
''the worlds greatest antique faker."
His diatribes at times became so vio-
lent that the presiding judge In the
Twelfth Correctional court, where the
trial Is being held, threatened to have
him removed from the room II he did
not restrain himself.
sFor twenty years the Louvre mu-
scum has been buying bogus antiques"
vigouroux testified. He declared the
directors of the Metropolitan museum
In New York had bought 100000
francs worth of spurious art objects.

PENKNIFE USED
TO SAVE LIFE
Man Choking to Death Is Re-
Iieved by the Quick Action
OF Hospital Surgeon.

New Orleans.-A taxicab stopped be-
fore the doors Of the Hotel Dieu thos-
patal). A young man carried an older
man up The steps Of the building in his
arms.
~QuickI" the young man shouted.
'He's choking to DEATH"
A nurse ran into the hall.
aPut him down there" she said, In
dicating a small room just inside the
dpor. Hes dying. It's only a'matter
Of seconds"
Dr.. Joseph Danna, noted New Or
leans surgeon, wearing his hat and
coat. had Just finished his work at the
hospital and was leaving at that MOI
rnent As he passed near by the young
man recognized him.
Doctor Ready to Help.
i ooh, doctor, can't you helpT'
Certainly" the doctor replied.
Without a moments hesitation
there was no time to send for instru-
ments on the floor above-the surgeon
pulled his penknife from his pocket
and slit the throat of the dying man.
The nurse came running back with a
tube, which the doctor inserted In the
mans throat, and held the side of the
fncision together with blood-stained fin
gers. Slowly color returned to the
cheeks and the pulse began to beat
freely,
Doctor Danna turned to the son, who
had watched the unusual operation,
and said, Hell live"
After the organs began to function
normally the tube was removed and
the incision stitched.
Merchant Is Sufferer.
The operation had taken less than
one minute; longer probably would
have meant death, the surgeon as
serted. 1t was performed on r. Rou-
gelot. a New Orleans dry goods mer-
chant.
MIR. Rougelot complained Of .stran-
gulation earlier In the day. Simple
remedies had no effect, and he was put
into an automobile by his son and
rushed to the hospital. He became
suddenly worse and before the insti-
tuition was reached he had ceased to
breathe and his pulse had stopped, the
son said.
Similar operations upon the throat,
known as tracheotomy, have been per-
formed many times by Doctor Danna,
but this was his first with a pocket
knife.

NEW DISEASES
KILL NATIVES
One Kind Of Tragedy That Has
Always Followed the Ad-
vance of Civilization.

Washington, D. C.--"Announcement
that influenza is ravaglng the natives
of the western coast Of Alaska and
has resulted in many deaths, recalls
that one kind of tragedy has always
followed the advance Of civilization"
saws a bulletin from the Washington
! headquarters of the National Geo
graphic society primitive people in
out-of- the-way places, once entirely Is
plated from civilization, have been
threatened with determination by
even such ordinarily unimportant civ
ilized diseases as measles. 1t is not
a matter of unhealthful regions" con-
tinues the bulletin, ''for the scenes of
such tragedies often have climates
bracing and upbuilding to whites and
to such natives as escape the first on
slaught, and who develop immunity to
the new diseases.
Marked Handicap.
"The natives of Alaska had in their
habits of life a marked handicap In
fighting disease. They liyed-and
many still live-in wooden houses
partly below the ground level. These
had their single doors always closed,
and were without windows. There
was one opening in the roof, out OF
which the smoke from a central fire
was supposed to find its way. AS
many as 80 and so persons lived In
the larger houses and competed for
the little available oxygen amid reek-
ing odors of rancid oil and decaying
fish and fish-eggs. Sanitation was un-
known; all debris and refuse to be dis
posed of was merely thrown little
way from the doorway
when civilization automatically
transplanted its disease to Alaska, the
field was too fertile, and the crop
grew rankly tuberculosis is now con-
tinually at work killing off the native
population, but the most spectacular in
roads have been made by measles and
smallpox, which have ragged from time
to time since 1912 like fires in dry
thieket. BY the time an immunity at
all comparable to that of the civilized
world was developed, nearly half the
population of many regions had been
swept away. In later years the work
of the United States public health SER
vice has done much to raise the health
standard among the natives.
South Sea Isles Hit.
Exactly the same thing happened
in that paradise Of isolation, the is
lands of the South sea. But there the
tragedy did not overtake natives
weakened by unsanitary living, but
rather men and women of ideal ply
sique, living largely in the open air.
Measles, smallpox and tuberculosis
had never been known among them
or their ancestors, and their bodies
simply had no weapons for the I'M
known fight. The Hawaiian islands
and the Marquesas have suffered more.
perhaps, than any of the other island
groups. The tragedy still proceeds.
In the Marquesas there are now about
eight native deaths to one birth, and
1t is predicted by observers of condi-
lions that In another decade not one
full-blooded Marquesan will be alive"
