MEDICAL SCIENCE
 PLANS ADVANCES
Wonderful Strides in Future Are
 Expected

London, March 27. - Twenty five years hence tuberculosis will be exterminated In the British do- minions, or be as uncommon as leprosy is today, Dr. c. W. Saleeby, spokesman for the London Medical institute, has declared. He predicts that the greatest advance in medi- cal science will be the successful combating of tuberculosis and can- cer, and the reduction of infant mortality to almost nothing.
 The last 25 years, Dr. Saleeby says, has seen medical science de- velop more than in centuries be- fore, but he points out that this has been brought about by very limited numbers of medical men and scientists, drawn largely from Germany, Austria and the United States. He believes that today all the medical men of the world are vitally interested in perfecting the science of national health and that the result of this international am- bition will be a perfect system of combating disease.
 The latest methods used to pre- vent tuberculosis have already pro- vided for a gradual decline in the number of tuberculosis victims for the future and, once health officers have been able to stop the spread of the disease, Dr. Saleeby believes 1t will rapidly disappear.
 The attack on cancer presents greater difficulties, and only the most elementary steps have been made so far toward combating it, but pr. Saleeby predicts that an- other ten years will find science in position to begin an international movement to eradicate cancer.
 pr. Saleeby, who has been the leading exponent Of the campaign to lower infant mortality in Eng land, has figures to show that the ratio in England and Wales has de- creased from one in seven in 1906 to one in 14 in 1923. He asserts that the ratio will be about one in 22 when the present methods of handling natal cases are in common use.

WINE OF YOUTHu-LYCEUM

"Wine of Youth" one of the two big features at the Lyceum today andtomorr ow, is comedy drama from the pen of Rachael Brothers, showing how young people tend to rebel against marriage. "The young people in "Wine of Youth" are not simply flappers; they are sincere and thoughtful youngsters who desire not to abolish the marriage institu- tion-but to alter it radically. This of course leads to all sorts of com- plications.
 The companion reels are the first of the "Galloping Hoofs" series, with Johnny Walker, the news reels and another big production starring Baby Peggy, the child screen star- "The Family Secret"
 "The Family Secret" Is a strong drama of love. misfortune and final ly happiness. Baby Peggy appears as the daughter of broken hearted mother who never mentions the child's father. One day the little tot gets lost and is befriended by strange man. Sometime later, while visiting, the child comes upon this man fn the act of burgIarizing the house. She recognizes him as her friend and pathetic dialogue and expose follows.

the flight surgeons hold. an aviator could not survive beyond a height Of 45,OOO feet. under ordinary clrcum- stances, because the available oxy- gen pressure in the lungs would be too low to sustain life.
 Between 2S,0OO and 25.0O0 feet is the upper limit of consciousness" without oxygen. say the flight sur geons, and at higher attitudes oxy- gen Is indispensable. Only if in- closed in a cabinet or suit in which barometric pressure were kept at a degree compatible with life, would 1t be possible 10 ascend beyond the 45,- 900 limit, with suitable arrange ment made for disposing of the sur plus carbon dioXide.
 The aviator experiences, among other things, as the result of high altitude flights, sleepiness, uncon- trolled emotion, including giggling, singing or laughter; muscular weak ness, shortness of breath, impair ment of the intellect and judgment, and impairment Of vision and hear ing. These are chiefly due, medical men explain. to a lack Of oxygen in the brain.
 There are 30 army flight surgeons. stationed at different flying fields, all on flying status. A flight medical school is maintained at Mitchell Field, N. r., where courses are given selected medical officers picked for aviation today. Aviation psy- chology forms a large share of their work, and they are acquainted with flrst-hand conditions of the men who go up In the air in ships.
 The National Aeronautic assocla- tons records show that the pres ent maximum altitude record is held by French flier with 39,5S6 feet, and the speed record in straight away course is held by another French alrman at 27S.4S miles an hour.

AIR SPEED LIMIT
 ALMOST REACHED
Flight Surgeons Say Men Cannot
 Live at Faster Pace

Washington. March 27. -- Flight surgeons of the army air service be- lieve that man has about reached the maximum flying speed at which he can suddenly change direction, ow- ing 10 the centrifugal force exerted on the body and it's effect on the blood. This speed Is placed In the vicinity of 250 miles an hour. The limit of speed on straightaway course, they say, can probably be placed much higher than is now me- chanlcally possible. but experience will have to write the actual figure. The height ,irlit, they add. i. around 45.000 feet.
 This contention regarding the maximum speed for turning, the flight surgeons point out, is pre- dicated upon the experience of Lieu tenant Alvin J. Williams, of the navy, at the Pulitzer air races at St. Louis in October. 1923, who said he became practically unconscious at the turns of the triangular course, when he rounded at 243.67 miles an hour.
 The flyer at the turn banks his craft at right angles. the centrifugal force acting at right angles to the new direction of travel and the blood being carried away from the head toward the stomach, and prob ably even into the legs, causes faint ness and possibly unconsciousnes; Blood circulation quickly adjusts it. self the flight surgeons say, and the directions of centrifugal force is rap idly changed. although at turns at very high speeds in airplanes, brain injury or rupture of a vital blood vessel might result.

 Flood of German Suits

Berlin, March 27.-The stabilizlng of the German mark evidently has had the result of reducing in large measure litigation among German business men.

Women Smokers Caused
 Increased Cigar Output

Vienna March 27.-The use of tobacco is increasing enormously in Austria. Although the population today Is 6,750,OOO, the state fac tories now turn out more cigars than they did before the war when the country had a population q 52.O00,00O.
 One cause of the increase is found in the fact that women are smoking, not only after meals, but at all times of the day and every where. Also( there is no age re- strlctlon on the sale of tobacco to juveniles.

enemies. All efforts to conquer them or to mix with them were unsuo- ce0sful. They were pushed farther back, but always managed to hold for their own considerable ter ritory. Finally the Spanish settlers entered into a treaty with the San Bias people agreeing to remove all forts from their territory and grant Ing them sort of autonomy.
 When the Isthmus passed to Colombia the San Bias maintained much the same attitude toward the Colomblans that they had main tained toward the spaniards; and when Panama became independent in 1903 they held aloof also from the new government. They have had their own chiefs and have had little or nothing to do with the Panaman government, Every eff fort to bring them any closer un- der the control of the republic starts an uprising like the recent one.
 Noa Race Mixture
 Tt has been tho boast of the San Bias that their race has re- mained absolutely pure-that there is no such thing as a half-breed San Bias. This is the more remark able because of the marked racial mixture nearby, where a fusion of whites, Indians and negroes is to be found.
 "The San Bias Indians have gained reputation for being in- hospitable. This is not exactly an accurate estimate. They have learn cd to be suspicious of strangers and they will take no chances. Those having legitimate errands, such as traders, are treated courteously, but there is an unvarying rule that no stranger shall remain ashore in their country over night. They look upon their land as community property but those who clear a space have recognized title to 1t while they use it. If a clearing is it again becomes com munity property. Fruit trees planted by an individual become" his prop erty.
 The Sand of Their Fathers
 Living as they do near the wa ter, the San Bias are thoroughly at home in that element, being excel lent swimmers ard canoeists. The children are given tiny canoes as soon as they are large enough to wield little paddle, and are &C., complished boatmen at an early age. The San Bias are sturdy and strong but of low stature, hardly averaging feet in height. There is a persistent tradition that the h. dians not only go into the jungle to gather nuts and fruits, but also to work secret gold mines. They use a considerable amount of gold in personal adornment, but whether their ornaments are chiefly heir looms or whether fresh gold is con- stantly made into these baubles has not been determined.
 "An incident occurred during the digging of the canal that well il- lustrates the independence and the of the San Bias. En- gineers of the canal commission found in the edge of the San Bias country a huge deposit of sand of a type perfectly fitted to their

needs for concrete mixing, and of- fered to buy It at good price from the San Bias chief. No.' was his reply ft is our sand today. it be- longed 10 our fathers before us. and It Will be our children's in the fu- ture. We can not sell 1t. Anyway. If your God had meant for you to have It He would have put 1t at Colon not in the land of the san Blae."

SAN BIAS TRIBE
 SUPERIOR INDIANS
Central Americans Unchanged . After 400 Years

Washington, D. C., March 27. - The San Bias Indians of Panama who recently rose against the Pana- man government are unique among the coastal aborigines Of both the Americas In remaining pure racial ly, according to a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society.
 This is all the more remarkable, the bulletin points out, "because these people lnhabit the portion. of the mainland first visited by Euro peans and selected for their first attempt at continental coloniza- ton; and because control by Euro- peans has actually been in force all around them for more than 400 years.
 4 Sca-IsIand People
 "The part Of Panama which Is usually spoken of more or, less loosely as the San Bias territory begins about 6Os miles east of the Atlantic end Of the canal and ex- tends on eastward toward the Col omban border" continues the bulle- tin. Tt also extends an indefinite distance inland. The typical San Bias Indians, however, are a sea- island people and the center of their activity. on the numerous small is- lands in the Gulf of San Bias, Is a sort of New World Venice.
 Like true Venetians they seem to have taken up their abode on these islands as measure of defense, against their warlike kinsmen of the interior, The islands are almost exclusively dwelling places, and the Indians that inhabit them cross over to the mainland by day to harvest vans, plantains and other vege- tables and fruits from their jungle clearings, and to gather ivory, nuts and other jungle products. Some of the Indians also live in villages along the coast of the mainland.
 "The San Bias Indians are not savages. They are at least semi civilized, and are an orderly people not given to encroachment on or aggression toward their neighbors They have fought much during the past four centuries but 1t has been the fighting of people with their backs to wall. who believe the wall is theirs, and who mean to de- fend 1t.
 Never Conquered
 "The apparent attitude of the San Bias Indians might be described by phrase borrowed from the new psychology. They seem to have de- veloped strong Superiority com- plex.' When the Spaniards began settling the Isthmus they could not see why their affairs should be in- terfered with, and they set the Spaniards down as their implacable
