SLEEPING SICKNESS
 MAY HAVE REMEDY
Chicago Doctor Succeeds In Pro-
 ducing Immunity In Rats

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-Experiments which were expected. to be of unusual important in the study of the fatal Irman sleeping sickness in Africa are being carried by Ur. W. II. TaliaferF0 of the University of Chicago. Working with rats infected with parasites close ly related to those causing African sleeping sickness, Dr. TaliaferrO finds that the rats produce immune bodies in their blood which render the para site harmless.
 Whether such immune bodies can be developed in the human sickness is the next step, Dr. TaliaferrO explains, aft CT which some serum that will remedy the disease in humans may be de- yeloped.
 Scientists have been working for some time to combat the disease in Africa, where it exists in two varieties ---gambian sleeping sickness and rhode sian-and where in some sections it reduced populations by two-thirds in seven years. A similar disease, known as Chagas' sickness, has been found in South America. Treatment of the dis ease to date has been hopeless. L

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. S.--The government cotton re- port of today predicting 2 crop of 12, 2,449, 900 bales, came as a surprise and a great dis appointment to members of congress from cotton produc- ing states, who are in Wash Iington.

 Senator N. B. Dial. of South Caro- lima, said, "I am surprised and disap- pointed. The government report is 100,- 900 bales in excess of the previously expressed opinion of the members of the New York cotton exchange. I do not believe the crop will be an large as the government indicates. At the same time, have no positive ground on which to attack the report"

PROTECTION URGED
 FOR STAGE CHILD
Uniform Laws Advocated Be-
 fore Humane Association

TORONTO, Oct. s.-The need for uniform legislation for the stage and movie child was emphasized today by Jeannie V. Minor at the fOrty-eighth annual convention of the American Humane association.
 "Only four North American states have as yet no legal protection for stage children" said the speaker. "On the other hand it is forty-nine years since the ehiIdren's society secured the first protective measure for New York's children in 1876. England followed three years later.
 "The course of legislation has run aImoat parallel in the two countries and because every inch of progress has been more or less successfully fought by theatrical interests, aided and abetted by an indifferent public, we are here to- day to discuss what can be done to pro mote better and more uniform legisla- ition on behalf of these sadly exploited children"
