Determined That Disapproved
Fashions Shall Be Banned
at Any Cost.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
ROME. November 20.-Pope Plus is
determined that his campaign against
immodest women's fashions shall be
Waged vigorously 10 d successful con
clusion at any cost" by all educa-
tiCnal institutions of the Roman Cath
oIic Church.
This decision was expressed by the
Pontif in a forceful address before the
Congress of the International Union OF
Catholic Women's Leagues. the mem
berS OF which he received in special
audience at the Vatican.
Il have noticed in your program 4"
he said. "a decision corresponding op-
portunely with your high Christian
ideal. that is. the struggle which YOU
propose To undertake SO worthily. SO
strongly. so potently. :. fully against
immoral fashions which are truly a
shame for so large a number of women
who call themselves Christian and who
diShonor the name of Christian.
Il never fail when seeing nuns to
ask them whether they conduct educa :
tional institutions. If they answer in
the affirmative. | never omit recon-
mending to them that they insist at
any cost upon Christian modesty in
dressing. Sometimes they intimate
that if they insist upon this point
mothers would withdraw their daugh-
ters from the schools Very well, il is
OF no Importance: Christian modesty
in dressing must he taught with insist
ence md al any cost And | desire
that the example be given by Catholic
institutions. One must begin in earli-
est youth to imprint upon hearts the
spirit of virtue and the sentiment of
ineffable human dignity"

CLAIMS NEW SERUM
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Barcelona Physician De-
scribes Remedy He Produces
From ''HarmIess GERM"

BERLIN. December 25.-Has an old
village doctor of Spain. who rose to
spasmodic fame by his discovery of
an anti-cholera serum. but sidled
back to obscurity, repeated his odd
feat OF 40 years ago, and given man
kind weapon against another
Scourge, tuberculosis?
DR.. Ferran of Barcelona. discoverer
of vaccine protecting against Asiatic
cholera, told the Berlin Medical Associ-
alton during his recent visit here of
the new serum which he makes from
harmless germ and which he says
gives immunity against tuberculosis
His serum is to be tried out in Berlin,
and his claim either proved or dis
proved
Vaccination Benefits Cited.
Wholesale vaccination in chill
dren's hospital in Buenos Aires proved
the effectiveness of the vaccine. DR.
Ferran claimed. The death rate of
the children was cut in half in a year
and no deaths resulted from tubercu-
loSis.
The novelty of DR. Ferran's theory
Is his claim that the tubercle bacillus
Is not one definite kind Of an organ
ism. but that it is n regular Dr. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde sort. II changes back
ana forth between a comparatively
harmless type. like those found in de-
cayinG matter. and the virulent sort
that causes active tuberculosis. The
conditions of the body determine
which road the organism shall take
DR.. Ferran succeeded in bringing up
Vlrulent tubercle bacilli in his labora-
tory in such way that they lost their
dangerous ways and became harmless
Also Develops Reverse Result.
He also succeeded in doing the re-
verse, and showed that the virulent
tubercle could come from good begin
nings. Tests on animals showed that
the good could become bad within the
body. just as his anti-cholera serum
claims were considered highly improb
able 40 years ago, so his claims for
the anti-tuberculoSis serum are con.
sIdered today by many medical au-
thoritieS.
The protective serum is made from
the harmless twin. but Dr. Ferran
claims II protects against the viruient
one and prevents the metamorphosis
OF the good into the bad

Head Of Federal Employees Ac-
cuses Both Army and Navy
Departments

Army and Navy officers are
cluttering up the civilian admins
tration Of the War and Navy De
partments, according to Luther g
Steward, president Of the Fedora
ton Of Federal Employees.
One Of the greatest personnel
wastes in Washington today is to
be found in the assignment Of
hundreds of Army and Navy Of
ficers to do administrative work.
in which they have no interest and
which they are not qualified to
do, Mr.. Steward declared today.
Covered" Into Departments
An investigation would show that
these officers are covered into
these departments to conceal the
fact that they have little or moth
ing to do in the regular military
establishments.
Both of the services are trying
Il retain as many officers on the
aetfkee list xas possible. he charged
and adopt many methods to camou.
faee the fact that 4 huge number
81 them are superfluoub.
Many II these officers draw
salaries and allowances larger than
the salaries Of bureau and division
chiefs in the civilian estabH ahments,
Mr.. Steward said. n.
Most OF them are assigned to
routine administrative tasks which
steward rays could be properly dis
charged BY men drawing one-half
the salaries Of these Army and
navy officers.
When the forces backing the
economy and ntrenchment pro-
gram OF Pre- lt Coolidge study
the sitIakion he War and Navy
Departne1ts MR. Steward pre-.
dicted, there VIII be a hue and cry,
followed by aadrastic reduction In
the number OF active officers.
Overloaded With Officers
The American army and navy
are overloaded with officers on the
active list, resulting from the world
war. Although thousands OF them
have been placed on reserve, both
services are fighting hard to per.
suadk Congress not TO reduce the
rlnibtf further, although there IL
little Or nothing for them to do.
ThAy are essentially military men,
and do, not take their assignment
10 civilian administrative tasks
seriously. The result is lowering
of morale In the offices they super
Wise, and consequent impair
ment or efficiency, Mr.. Steward
added.
The matter probably will be
brought to the attention OF Con-
gress in connection with the con-
BIderati0n Of army and navy esti.
mates at the next session.

The executive council Of the Fed

Personnel issues probably will be

BULGE
General Lord Allows Over
$40, ooo, 900 for Next
Fiscal Year

Al total of between $50, 100 900
and SCI, 25O,OOO viii be allowed
By the Budget Bureau for the
District next fiscal year, il was
learned today.
The District estimates were
completed today and sent back To
the District Commissioners ii
final form, By General Herbert
III. Lord, director Of the budget.
The amount allowed for next
year is : slight advance over the
budget 81 the current year, which
totals $50, 0S2. 900.
Big Sum for Sewers
While the exact total 81 the
estimates has not been made pub.
lie. ii became known today that
liberal treatment ia number 81
controversial items has been given
the city BY General Lord. These
specific details 81 the estimates ~
came known today:
Additions to Gallinger Memorial
Hospital to cost $500, 900 have been
allowed. This was the total asked
by the District commissioners.
on the other hand, the request
for $3.50, 600 for the reconstruction
Of Chain Bridge has been dis
allowed.
a total OF $1,500.0OO has been
allowed for sewer extension, which
was the subject Of several hearings
before General Lord last August.
Victory for d. C. Heads
The allowance Of the sewer item
and that for Ga1linger Hospital con
stitutes real achievement In the
framing Of the budget for the Dis
trict Commissioners. The budget
bureau was at first inclined to reject
both Of these items. BY reason of
an effective presentation Of their
case. however, General Lord finally
was persuaded that the items should
remain in the estimates.
The principal Improvement to be
made at Gallinger Memorial Hos
pital is new structure for the
treatment Of general medical and
surgical cases. At present the Inns.
pital Is largely devoted to the treat
ment Of psychopatnic cases.
It Is planned to construct q 1000
bed addition to the hospital under
q building program which will con-
tinue for several years.
