RECESS MARINE
PROMOTIONS
MADE
Rumor Hints That One or
More Colonies May Be
Retired

Recess promotions have been
given to several Officers of The
Marine Corps, according to the
commandant OF the corps, as
follows:
Colonel Harry r. Lay an1
Lieutenant Colonel Harry o. Smith
and Majors Paul C. Marmion, and
Lowry B. Stephenson and Captains
John B. Wilson, James D. Colony,
and Galen NJ. Sturgis and FIRST
Lieutenants Charles s. Finch, Paul
b. Watson and William b. Onley.
Consideration Is being given at
the headquarters Of the Marine
Corps, to certain moot questions
concerning the new law relating to
promotions and retirements, ab0u.
which a decision will have to he
reached before further steps can be
taken under the law.
Last month boards of officers
convened in accordance with the
law prepared lists of those consid-
cred eligible for appointment as
heads of the staff departments and
as brigadier generals in the line,
and these lists have been approved
by the President.
The law provides, among other
things, that any officer of the grade
Or rank Of colonel whose name IS
not borne on orc Of the current
eligible lists, IL more than fifty-six
years of age, shall be placed on
the retired list.
Although those lists are kept IN
the confidential files and will not
be made public, it is apparent from
the fact that certain phases OF the
law are being made the subject of
further interpretation that there are
one or more colonies of fifty-s.x
years or more Of age. who are not
on one of the eligible lists for
this year and wiIi be retired.
1t is understood that one or the
questions that remains to be decided
is when such retirements are to
take effect, whether as Of Ape date
of approval OF the lists by the
President, the date Of issue Of the
retirement orders and the date Of
receipt Of such orders by the officers
concerned, or some other date.

tack Mrs. Simon Duzzinski while
she was chopping wood in the yard
Of her home on a small farm be.
tween Allentown and Robbinsville.
When the stranger appeared he
was without clothes, and the police
believe he was one of the four con-
victs who recently escaped from the
Eastern penitentiary, Philadelphia;
that he discarded his prison garb
and has since been unable to obtain
other clothing.
The man dashed at the woman,
but when she flourished the ak he
retreated and finally fled. His
tracks were followed to rye field
and then through tall corn and into
the woods, where they were lost.

CANCER VIRUS IS

Doctors w. E. eye and j E.
Barnard May Find Cure
in Experiments
nz InlsrnatIonal News saryIee.

LONDON, July 17.-Revolu-
tionary advances in medical prac-
tice, simplifying the treatment Of
sleeping sickness, smallpox and
measles may be the outgrowth Of
the startling discoveries of Doctor
w. E. eye and j. E. Barnard, it
was asserted today by 1.-THE Lam
Get, England's leading medical
journal.
Doctor eye has succeeded, with
Barnard's help, in making visible
under the microscope the virus be-
lieved to be an agent in the cause
Of cancer, 'The Lancet" said.
Researches of Great Value.
But important ais has been the
research work on cancer performed
by the self-made physician and
Barnard, the halter -michoscopist,
their findings have been more far
reaching than first limited, it was
learned today when the medical
journal published the research pa
pGTS presenting the 4FGSulI OF the
work by Doctor eye and Barnard
In iso1ating and making visible,
through use of various coIored
rays, the virus believed partially
responsible for cancer, the research
experts have opened tn way for
similar research to aid the fight
against measles, smallpox ana sleep
ing sickness, the last a diseae which
has puzzled physicians and research
workers.
The announcement in '"The
Lancet" today followed hints that
the British Medical Research
Council would have an important
statement as to the next step in
the work which the council first
made public this week.
Cure Thought Likely.
Chickens, rats and mice have
been inoculated with the virus
thought a cause of cancer, with =
view to bringing to light a means
Of immunity through innocuIation.
1t was asserted that it could
not be said that cure for cancer
was about to be discovered, but
the Gye-Barnard discoveries gave
hope that cure might be found.
The research council confirmed
the discovery of the causative virus.
giving Doctor Gye and Barnard
important scientific confirmation OF
their revelations.

WEATHER NJ A n

Fair and Not Much Change in
Temperature His Conf
dent Prediction

If it rains today, the Weather
Bureau will be, in our popular
parlance, 'tall wet" Because the
forecaster todaX. after inspecting
the horizons, shouted down the
hatch. Fair and not much change
in temperature"
Last nights storm gave support
to the legend of st. Swithfn's Day,
but the bureau hoped to the job
today to put an end to the pro
verbal forty days Of rain.
The downpour brought a cool
morning and materially assisted in
lowering the temperature, temporari-
ly, at least. Yesterdays highest
official temperature was 95, al
though 101 degrees were recorded
at the Pennsylvania avenue kiosk.
The bureau thinks there will be
little change in temperature today,
and that the fair weather will ex-
tend over tomorrow.
