SHOULDER STOOP SAID

Dr. Macdonald Claims Years Gov

PORTSMOUTH, Sept 1.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-Dr. Peter Macdonald startled the British Medical Associa- lion conference here by stating that a stoop of Shoulders causes old age "a direct inversion of the popular theory.

ROADS TO FLORIDA BETTER, FORECAST
Extensive Preparations Made By The A. A. A. For South
 bound Tourists

More favorable road conditions for the tourist Florida bound this fall
 and winter is the forecast of the touring board of the American Auto mobile association. Plans to take care of the largest migration of motorists from the north and east to the land of sunshine ever witnessed have been under way for the past 60 days. The first road survey of the principal routes has just been completed by the official pathfinding car of the Amer lean Automobile association. Detailed road condition reports, both as to the present condition and the plans of the various state highway depart ments for further improvements have been pouring into the headquarters of the association in Washington. Photographers are busy revising strip and sectional maps and making new ones A weekly report service on road conditions along the principal routes has been arranged so that the 800 clubs affiliated with the A. A. A. can be promptly advised of any changes due to weather conditions as well as detours around construction. In addition to the complete service of maps, frequent reports giving de- tailed information as to road condi- tions on the way south, traffic regu- lations in the various states. lists of hotels, camp sites and such other data as will add to the convenience of the tourist will be printed and distributed through the A. A. A. clubs.
 The preliminary report of Harry Mcclellan, who has just completed the official survey of the routes from New York via Washington, Richmond. Raleigh, Pinehurst, Camden, Augusta, Macon and Waycross to Jacksonville, returning via the Dixie highway through Macon, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville, Louisville, Indianapolis, Chicago, Columbus. Wheeling and Washington. indicates that tho east ern route at present offers more mileage of improved road and fewer detours. Assurances have been given, however, that the heavy construction work between Cincinnati and Knox vile on the eastern division and be- tween Nashville and Chattanooga on the western division of the Dixie highway will have tadvanced to such a point that travel can get through with some degree of comfort by late fall. Reports are also being secured from an actual survey as to condi- tions from St. Louis and western points through Nashville. and also through Greensboro, N. C., to Atlanta.
 The difficulties which have been encountered heretofore near the Geor- gia- Florida line have been practically eliminated and unless very severe weather conditions are encountered the trip south from Macon to Florida points should offer no serious diff culty. The Florida bound tourist must not expect on any route to make the same time which can be made on the highways through the north and east, or to find smooth pave oil 1,a a be made by the A. A.

MOLASSES HAS NEW USE IN HAWAII NOW
Planters Increase Income $1.000,000
 Since Prohibition

HONOLULU, Sept. 1.-(By Associ- ated Press .)-New uses which have been found for molasses, mainly a waste product of the Hawaiian sugar plantations. since the enactment oi the prohibition act, are expected to exhaust the supply this year, accord ing to an announcement by the Sugar Factors, which handle most of the Hawaiian crop.
 Prior to prohibition, the planta- tions derived a consioerable income from the molasses shipments to the mainland which were used for the manufacture of alcohol. Since then the molasses, which has a sugar con tent of onefifth. has been used as fuel or thrown into the ocean.
 A discovery that molasses may be used as a culture medium In. the pro- duction of yeast has created a con siderable demand recently. It also has been found that moiasses makes a valuable feed for stock, as. 1t is said, 1t has about twice the energy value of any other feed tested. These two developments are expected to utilize most of the molasses produced by the plantations.
 The new demand Is expected to add approximately $1,000.000 to tho in- come of the Hawaiian plantations this year.

CHICAGO. Sept. 1.-(Associated Press.)-A campaign to eliminate any existing belief that the primitive methods of the American Indian are still employed, will be started at the pow-wow to be held here September 24-30, which will bring together the leading members of the remaining Indian tribes.
 Ut is for the purpose of showing the people of the country that the American Indian, who always has been looked upon as a scalp hunting tribe, Is only a kind, intrepid and educated brave enjoying life in his own simple way. that the pow-wow is planned" according to Miss Cath ertne Cook, Indian worker establish ing closer relations between the In dians and the Department of the h. terior.
 From many Indian reservations of the country vii come the Indian braves and 'squaws, not in their na- tive attirement. but In the habili- ments of civilized people. They will formulate plans whereby they can have better conditions. These tribal leaders seek relationship with the interior department which will not keep them inconspicious because of their inability to deal directly with the department. They desire a method of procedure which will be one of coordination"
 Indian activities. at present wide spread, will be coalesced here, If the plans of the convention are realized. Several Indian teams of La Crosse players will start east several weeks before the pow-wow here, playing an elimination series enroute. The two teams surviving the series will clash here for final honors
 One of the forest preserves adja- cent to Chicago will be named dur ing the convention. An Indian will lage will make its appearance there in during the convention. Indian music, displays and other exhibitions of Indian lore will be held during the week.

ROAMING MOSQUITO
Husky American Variety Turns Up
 In Germany

CoBLENz. Sept 1-(By Asso- ciated Press. )-The United States is blamed for having supplied Coblenz and the area about the junction of the Rivers Rhine and Moselle with larger mosquitoes than are known in any other part of the German re- public.
 In the Franco -Prussian war of 50 years ago, Fort EhrenbreIstein was a concentration point for French pris- oners and an important cavalry and artillery center.
 Large numbers of horses and mules were kept there, and because of the shortage of forage in Germany to meet the needs of the animals, great quantities of hay were imported from the United States. American mos- quitoes were imported in this hay, according to the old German army officers who were there at that time, and throve in their new surroundings
 However, the American brand of mosquito has not wandered far from his new home, and the pests get along the Baltic coast and throughout the Interior of Germany still are of a type so small that they can filter through the ordinary mosquito netting.
