ChaulmOogra Grown
For LeprOsy Testing

Washington, Aug: ~ GA. P.)-Un-
Gle Sam has enlisted in the fight
against leprosy from a new angle.
At the Department of Agriculture's
station at Bell, Maryland, the gov
eminent is engaged in propagating
chaulmoogra plants, from which oil
will be obtained to treat lepers.
About go plants are growing in
Maryland, and over 1000 have al
ready been shipped to Hawaii, the
Philippines, the Canal Zone and Por-
to Rico, to mature in the warmth of
a tropical sun. There is no place in
the United States where the trees
will develop fully.
This work has been going on since
1920, when Joseph +. Rock, agri-
cultural explorer attached to the Of
fee of foreign seed and plant intro
duction, visited the jungles of Burma
and Siam, searching for chaulmoo-
gra trees.
Tracing chaulmoogra history, Mr..
Rock found that it's seeds and oil
have been known for centuries 10
the natives of Burma and southeast
ern Asia in general as palliatives in
leprosy and other skin diseases, and
were employed by them both extern
ally and internally"
There are about 500 lepers in the
United States. as nearly as can be
ascertained says the United States
Public Health Service. About DO
are in one colony at Carville, Louis
lana. A small colony which was To-
Gated at BuZzards Bay in Massachu-
sets was merged with the Louisiana
registered lepers and it is estimated
that around $50 have not been iden-
tilted.
Those afflicted are looking to
Chaulmoogra oil as their salvation,
and the results achieved thus far
with it lead sanguine medical men
to foresee the day when leprosy will

A POOR BOCEY MAN

Republican editors, realizing that the real Issue =.
the Maine campaign is whether not the State Of
Maine intends to secede from the Union and oin the,
Invisible Empire, and that on that issue, forced on
their party by the nomination of Senator Brewster
they are already defeated, hunting for bogev
to brighten back to the support of the Kan cand
date for governor the thousands of loyal Republicans
who refuse to hold their noses and vote the straight
ticket"
The Portland Sunday Telegram has found one that
suits it. 1t presents the startling argument that the
defeat of the Khan in Maine will make Governor Bryan
of Nebraska, President of the United States. And
this is the way it works out If the Kan candidate
for governor is defeated in Maine President Cooidges
cause will be weakened that La Toilette will secure
sufficient electoral votes to throw the election of
President into the House of Representatives which, in
turn, will fail to choose between Coolidge and Davis
thus placing the Senate the responsibility of choos.
ing chief executive with the choice limited to Dawes
and Bryan. The Democrats and La Toilette Repubi.
cans will then unite and select Bryan And there you
are!
Assuming, for the sake of argument that the defeat
of the Kan in Maine would in some mysterious way
increase the electoral votes given either to Davis
La Toilette sufficiently to throw the election into the
House of Representatives why assume that the House
would shirk that responsibility?
If the Republican members of that body knew that
a refusal on their part to join with the Democrats in
making choice would result in turning the country
to La Toilette would they be obliged to take that
course?
Would they not, at the best, be able to secure
sufficient number of votes from conservative Demo-
Gratis to elect Coolidge at the worst unite with the
Democrats and elect Davis?
Suppose contingency because of which Re-
publican congressman forced to choose between
Davis for President Bryan for President why should
they choose Bryan? Why not choose Davis? The
Telegram believes that the wiser choice would be Davis
and then that the representatives of the Re-
would
choose Bryan.
Perhaps they would do so, but we do not believe it
and we do not believe that the Telegram believes it.
Our Republican editors had better hunt up another
DOGGY man. This one is too transparent 1t will not

Ing the husband to pay her $65
monthly alimony and giving him
the privilege Of seeing their little

allowed to take the child away from
the mother and have it in his GUS

Denying this application, Justice
Hoehling said that the testimony

child. now two years old, was born,
Its father was disappointed it was
not a boy; that he expressed him
self as not having the right love
for the child that a father should
have.
