Paralysis of Insane
 Yielding to Treatment

New York, Feb. 23.-Paresis, or general paralysis of the insane, hitherto regarded as uncurable, has been treated successfully at the Manhattan State Hospital for the insane on Wards Island by inoCu- lating with malaria germs, it has been announced by Dr. Henry A. Bunker, Jr., and Dr. George H. Kir- by. It is shown in report by the physicians published in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, that since June 1928, 53 patients afflicted by the disease, which is the result of a blood infection, were inoculated. Of these F were discharged from the hospital and 14 were able to return to their occupatiins.
 It is known by the physicians tn2t the malaria germ is curative agent, but the manner in which it works has not been ascertained. The doctors said in their report that the new treatment is possibly a long forgotten cure once known 10 the ancient Peruvians. The credited its discovery to Professor Wagner Won Jauregg of Vienna.

Scientists Devise Way
 To Prevent "Hang.OYer"

New York, Feb. 23.-BoSton sclen- lists experimenting with the admin istration of oxygen and carbon dioxide have reported that they have speedily resuscitated patient un- conscious from alcohol and have prevented nausea, or hangover, '' and other symptoms of intoXication, it is announced by the New York Edison company. Drs. T, r. Hunter and s. c. Mudd of Boston reported that experimenting upon a man who had been arrested for alcoholism and who had passed into a deep coma, they were able by administer ing carbon dioxide to sober him within an hour without any after math of nausea. New York sCien- tists have used the carbon dioxide and oxygen combination in saving the lives of asphyxiated persons, ac- cording to Dr. Charles Norris, chief medical examiner, but have not yet introduced 1t as a treatment for Rl- coholism. It has also been found val uable in increasing respiration in operation of patients and enabling them to get rid of the ether in their lungs and blood, he said.

AIRCRAFT PROBE
 SUDDENLY FADES
Interest Now Lies in Action on
 General Mitchell

Washington. Feb. 23.-The sud den fading out of the house air- craft Investigation with the termin- alton of its committee hearings Saturday switched interest in the matter today to the war department and the impending decision of Sec retary Weeks as to who shall oc- cupy the position of assistant army air chief after the present appoint ment of Brigadier General Mitchell expires next month.
 The term of General Mltchell's, whose statement before the house aircraft committee stirred up a warm controversy on questions relat- ing to aircraft defense, expires March 2G. It had been the an- nounced intention of the secretary to await conclusion of the commit tee hearings before reaching the de- cision which will either continue General Mitchell in the position of assistant air chief or mean his as- sgnment to other duty with re- turn to the rank of colonel.
 Whether the sudden breaking off of the committee hearings, after further witnesses had been sum moned, might lead the secretary to advance his decision to a date be- fore the March 1 adjurnment of con- gress or defer 1t until after that. as had previously been expected, has not been disclosed.
 The secretary himself has given no indication as to how he views the question of General Mitchell's re- appointment. Those close to the secretary, however, predict the ap- pointment of assistant air chief will fall on another.
 In any event, it was said, the mat ter was viewed as one purely for executive determination and in which any recommendation the com mittee may submit as a result of its inquiry could have no influence.
 The house committee is winding up Its investigation, faces the task of drawing from mass of testi- mony extending over weeks the con- clusions it will present to the house

"Janice Meredith" at Capitol.

Janice Meredith" which came to the Capitol theater yesterday for 4 days, has so much beauty and TO- nance in it, and so much glory and amazing -that-never- was charm in it, that even hardened reviewer is overcome by the sheer magnifi- cence of this picture.
 No one who, secretly, would like to take a trip to the moon, or who, much more to the point, would like 10 have the Revolutionary War done over again for his own delectation- the war being just multicolored background for a heart stirring love affair between the most beautiful girl in the world and a man whom she, at least, didn't think was the homeliest of his gender-can afford not to see "Janice Meredith" and Marion Davies, who is the astonish- -ingly beautiful star of it.
 There is the usual program of Keith vaudeville offered with the picture and the feature act offers "The Four Oxfords" in "Rhythm and Music" Other acts include Smith and Strong Golden Voices From the Golden West" which is consid-

The Man Who Came Back at Palace

Notable as a book and decidedly a success on the stage, "The Man Who Came Back" is greater as motion picture. This Fox production came to the Palace theater last night to open 4 days run. A capacity audi ence appeared to enjoy every minute of 1t and lobby comment afterward was limited to praise.
 It is doubtful if George O'Brien or Dorothy Mackail will ever be cast in parts more peculiarly fitted to their respective ability, As the black sheep son of a rich New Yorker, O'Brien plays one of the most effec- tive characterization ever shown on screen. Dorothy Mackail does no less as the dance hall performer of San Frnncisco's old Barbary Coast and later, in the underworld of Shanghai.
 In addition there are four Keith vaudeville acts headed by the Dixon Girls Revue, five clever misses who are talented musicians. Other acts include Jackson and Baker, come- dy couple; Arthur Finn a corking good blackface comedian; Gulfport and Brown in variety offering; and the Patricks who offer a novelty act.
 Beginning next Sunday "Charley's Aunt" will be the big attraction.

HEIR TO S5.OOO

Bridgeport. Feb. 23.-NIichael Candello. more widely known in this city and state as Young Hyde" ban tam and featherweight champion of the state twenty years ago, and now practically penniless, according to his own assertions, is sole heir to an estate valued at S5,OO0, according to information received from Citra, Florida.

 dents for Every Day

Hartford, Feb. 23.-Motor vehicle accidents in Connecticut reached a total of 1901 for the past month, being at the rate of about 390 a day, according to statistics for January completed at the state motor vehicle department. It was an increase of 319 over January, 1923, indicating that accidents are occurring this year at a rate of about ten a day in ex- cess of the daily average for the corresponding period of last winter.
 It is pointed out, however, that the number of motor vehicles, exclusive of motorcycles and jitneys, register ed and in use in the state during the first month of 1925 was 20,550 in ex- cess of the total for January, 1923, the whole number of such registra- tions appearing on the books of the department on the first day of the present month being 127,9SS, as against 107,43S shown to have been registered on that date of last year.
 An idea of the rapidity with which the ownership of automobiles is ex- tending in Connecticut may be gained from the fact that more mo- tor vehicles were registered in this state in the single month Of Janu- ary, 1925, than were registered in an entire year only five years ago. The | figures given in the second para graph apply only to passenger cars and commercial motor vehicles. Talk ing in all classes, the total of regis trations for the month amounts to 132,517, whereas the total for the year 1920 was 131,775. The depart ment registered more cars for 1925 in one week than were registered ir whole year 10 years ago.
 Fifteen fatal motor vehicle acci. dents occurred in January, 1925, ar increase of two over the fatal acci dent record for January, 1924. Wa terbury is the only municipalit. which reported more than one, the number of fatal accidents occurring in that city during the first month being three. West Wilmington, Weth- ersfeld, West Hartford, Torrington West Thompson. South Norwalk North Canaan Moosup, Lebanon, Hartford, Windsor and New Britain reported one each.

PRODUCERS BATTLE
 AGAINST CLOSING
''DeSire Under the Films" Will
 Be Continued in New York

New York, Feb. 23.-The pro- ducerS of Eugene O'Neilrs play. "Desire Under the Elms," have an- nounced that they will face and fight court action rather than comply with District Attorney Banton's or der that the play be withdrawn be- fore Wednesday night.
 Kenneth MacGowan, one of the group producing the play, announced that the management would wei come d decision on the production by the revived citizens play jury, but that the play would not be withdrawn because of threatened court action.
 As result of the producers stand. it appeared likely that De sire Under the Films" would be the first play to be considered by a play jury under the system which was agreed upon last week. In support of their contention that the O'Neil play is not offensive, the producers have quoted well-known persons who praised the production.

NORTH AMERICAN MASTOD0NS FOUND
Skeletons Are Unearthed in
 Central America

Chicago. Feb. 23.-Skeletons of North American mastodons, Hams as big as camels, saber-tooth tigers, mammoth bears, wolves and species of the northern horse family have ibecn unearthed in Central America among fossilized remains of the South American glyptodons and huge ground sloths, s. c. Davies, di- rector of the field museum, has an- nounced here.
 The discoveries were made by a Captain Marshall field expedition, led by Professor Elmer s. Riggs. and they lead the fossil experts to visual ize an inter-continental battlefield of millions of years ago, where op- posing migrations of mammoth ami mals from North and South America fought and exterminated one anoth- CT. The scene of the visualized pre- historic clash when the world was young was given by Professor Riggs as the Tarija Valley near Tupica in the Bolivian province of Tariha.
 The expedition's discovery is the climax of three years work in Be- livia and Argentina. Professor Riggs theory is that in the age un- der investigation Patagonia in the Argentina was all there was of South America, and the two continents, North and South America, were separated. During this period a Patagonian plant and animal life developed. Later an uprising of land bridged the gap and huge animals of the two continents met and fought. Professor Riggs is now on his way to Chicago for rest, dur ing which he will arrange the fos- sils he has sent to the museum.

KING MUST to
 AWAY FOR REST
George Ordered to Spend Vaca.
 tiOn in Warmer Climate
By The Associated pres,.


 London, Feb. 23.--Although 1t is known through the medical bulle- tins issued from Buckingham palace that King Georges condition is not serious as a result of his attack of bronchitis the fact that his physi- clans have ordered him to the Medi- terranean for the remainder of the winter has caused quite a stir of which the newspapers take full ad- vantage for front page displays.
 His Majesty's health Is ordinarily so good and his foreign visits so in- frequent that his going abroad Is treated as an important event.
 Unlike his father. King Edward VII who in the later years of his life usually spent part of the winter in southern Europe and his grand mother, Queen Victoria, who also often went there King George has not been south since his accession to the throne in 1910 his only foreign visits having been to France during the war when he often joined the British army there.
 It is understood he will make the trip south aboard the royal steam yacht Victoria and Albert a ship of 4,700 tons which like the American presidential yacht Mayfower Is maintained by government appro- priatfon for the Use of the head of the state. The yacht is already being placed In readiness at Portsmouth for the voyage the date of which is yet to be decided but which it is ex- pected will be very soon.
 Queen Mary will probably not &C., company the king on the yacht as she is a bad sailor and dislikes being at sea except in fine weather. It is expected she will cross the channel to Calais and journey southward by train to join her husband. The kings uncle the Duke of Connaught, who always spends the winter on the Riviera is staying at his villa near Beaulieu and it is possible that the queen will make her home there while the king is recuperating.
 It Is assumed that the king will be kept as free as possible from af- fairs of state while on iis voyage and in this respect it will be his first real holiday since acceding to the throne as during his annual visits to Cowes, for the yachting and to Scotland and Sandringham for the shooting he is always in close touch with his ministers and spends a good part of each day in transacting state business.
 The present supposition is thai the Prince of Wales will carry out his tour of South Africa and Soutf America as scheduled but it Is al. | ready being remarked that it i! quite unusual for the king and tn, heir to the throne both to be ab sent from the kingdom at the sam, time. There seems to be, howeve no constitutional reason agains such an arrangement.
 In this case it is presumable tha the royal duties will devolve upor the kings third son, Prince Henry as the Duke of York is hunting 1T Africa.
 The kings physicians remained with him only a few minutes this morning and it was decided not tc issue the regular morning bulletin outlining his condition. It is under stood that his temperature is almost normal.
