inSULla TREATMENT

Diabetes is becoming less fatal
to humans. During the past
year and a half the death rate
has consistently declined. re-
versing the tendency of the pre-
ceding four years. Coincident |
with this decline. which att
present is becoming greater than
ever, is the increasing use of in
sulin. The figures for tlisi
disease justify the hope that the
two phenomena are connected
even though, as the latest

positive proof, as yet. that the
reduction is the direct result of
the increased use of insulin.

Proposal Urged by Boilermaker

BY the Associated Press.
HULL, England, September 2.-The
formation of a new and all-lnclusiVe
International, to bring about unity of

ment. was urged at this morning s
session of the Fifth-Sixth Trade Un-
ion Congress by H. Pollitt. a repre-
sentative of the boilermakers.
The workers of the world, Mr.. Pol
litt declared, were about to face a
new struggle. When the Dawes rep
aration plan will have been in opera
tion for a year the workers would
have need for an all-inclusive inter-
national to prevent the low standard
of living of the German working
class being held as pistol at the
heads of organized labor throughout
the world. Mr.. Pollitt advocated the
convening of a conference of all of
the organizations affiliated with the
Amsterdam and Moscow interna-
tionalS
His proposal. however. was not car

for the most part by delegates who
voiced critical views of the methods
of the Moscow International, a motion

WHEELER VISITS.
BOYHOOD SCENES
La Fo|Iette's Running Mate
Shows Strain of Too Many
Speeches in Day.
BY the Associa ted Press.

BOSTON, September 2.-Senator
Wheeler. vice presidential candidate
on the La Toilette ticket, visited his
boyhood home at Hudson early to-
day to renew old acquaintances and
memories. His speaking schedule for
the day fixed only two engagements.
both in the evening hours. at Bidde-
ford. Me, and Portland, Me.
Mondays four speeches. two of
them in the open air. demonstrated
to the committee managers for the
La Toilette ticket the necessity
of conserving Senator Wheeler's
strength for the long strain of cam
paigning until November. His ad-
visers urged that no more than two
speeches a day be scheduled for the
future, and preliminary programs were
modified accordingly.
1t is now-planned to have the cam
paign party return from Maine on
Wednesday, via Manchester, N. H..
and Lowell. Thursday and Friday
will be given to Connecticut and
Rhode Island cities. On Saturday
Senator Wheeler will speak in New
York City, and Monday he will begin
a tour of New York State cities
visiting as many as possible before
turning south again to Philadelphia
on September 13. Pittsburgh on
September Is was the last engage
ment actually set with intervening
ones not specified.
Senator Wheeler, at Boston and
Worcester Monday, elaborated one
single line of argument to begin his
campaign, stressing the assertion
that the only issue in National poll
tics this year swung around the
proposal of the La Toilette forces
to return the Government to the
people," as no longer representative
of real popular division in politics
and economies. He pilloried the Re-
publican administration as standing
for government of, by and for Wall
Street." and asserted that the Dem
ocratic party and its National can
didates offered no real alternative.
