SITUATION is SERIOUS.
French War Office Reported Differing
With Lyautey

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
PARIS. May 5.-"The situation in
Morocco is serious, but not grave a
high official of the colonial department
told the writer today.
But the fact that the venerable Field
Marshal Lyautey felt it his duty to
go to Fee to direct personally the
operations of the French troops
against Add El-Krim indicates that the
Riffian invasion of French Morocco is
considered more serious than official
quarters want the people to believe.
Marshal Lyautey has viewed the
situation pessimistically for the last
few months and his belief that Abd-El-
krim was planning direct action
against French Morocco was strength
ened when he saw an interview given
by the Riffian leader. in which krim
| hinted that the boundaries Of the
Riffian republic should extend TO the
confines of the Sahara, and that the
present Sultan was a puppet in the
hands of the French and no longer
had the right to the allegiance of his
subjects.
Lyautey Worried.
Marshal Lyautey was greatly wor.
ried by Add Ell -Krim's statement, and
he tried to induce the Herriot cabinet
to strengthen the present military
force in Morocco. demanding 16 addi.
tional battalionS of white troops,
pointing out that many local detach
ments composed of natives could be
easily disaffected by the intensive
propaganda of Add Ell -Krim's agents
The request was not granted. how

the Socialistic majority in Parliament
never would approve of such action al
a time when France needs drastic
cuts in the budget.

PREVENTING DIPHTHERIA
IN CLEVELAND

DIPHTHERIA is one Of the dis
- eases we know all about Bre-
tonneau of Tours first described 1t as
a distinct disease in 1921, over hun
bred years ago Before that time it
had been confused with many other
forms of sore throat and had been
called malignant sore throat" 'putrid
sore throat" ETC. He called it diph-
liberia from a Greek word meaning a
membrane, because in true diphtheria
a membrane always forms on the in
fected spot Klebs discovered the
diphtheria germ in 1888 and Loeffler
in 1884 first succeeded in growing the
germ outside the human body.
In 1888 Roux and Yersin proved that
poisoning and death in diphtheria were
caused, not by the germ itself but by
the poison which the germ manufac-
lures in its growth. In 1891 Won
Behring made an antitoxin or antidOte
for the diphtheria poison, by which the
poison caused by the disease could be
neutralized and the child's life saved.
In 1913 Schick found that q single
drop of antitoxin, injected under the
skin, would show what children were
susceptible to this disease. Then Park
and Zingher in New York found that
children whom this test shows to be
immune at two or three years of age
will probably be safe from the dis
ease for the rest of their lives, while
those who are susceptible can by
dose of toxin-antitoxin, be protected
from it in all cases during childhood
and in many cases for the whole of
their lives.
So we know all about it, what
causes it, how the germs get into the
throat of the well child, how 1t can
be prevented and how it can be cured.
Yet in 1921 there were twenty thou
sand deaths from diphtheria in the
United States, most of them children
under ten years of age
AS King Edward asked, If this dis
ease is preventable, why is 1t not pre-
ventedY' Because its prevention re-
ouires action on large scale. To
nrotect a single child against diph-
iberia is gOOu Dut IhlS "tAA Nv ASNuSS
the death rate. All susceptible chill
dren must J protected. The time to
do this is when the child enters school.
In Cleveland Doctor McClelland
found that two-thlrds of all children
examined were susceptible and that
the largest number Of susceptible chill
dren were, found in the well-to-do
homes Not single child out of the
40 600 treated showed any bad effects
from the antitoxin.
..Who would not give trife to pre-
want what he would give thousand
worlds to cureT Three doses Of toxin
antAtoxin will protect your child from
this awful disease. Don't be sorry
when II Is too late.

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL.
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor Of "AEALTH"
PICKING OUT THE
FEEBLEMINDED

TN the last few years the public
\ has begun to recognize the dan
ger OF mental effectiveness. Much
study has been given to feeble
mindedness. Various mental tests have
been devised, not only to determine
who are feebleminded, but also to
classify the different types and degrees
Of feebIemindedness Special atten-
ton has been given to those forms OF
feeblemindedness which are SO near
normal as to make their recognition
extremely difficult.
1t has been found that many persons
who possess enough intelligence to
look after themselves, and even In
some cases to earn their own living,
are below the normal standard of In
telligence.
These tests, of course, sometimes
lead to ridiculous results, as when a
distinguished lawyer, after spending
years on the bench and accommodating
a large fortune in the practice of his
profession, was found unable to pass
the mental test for freshmen at his
state university. But this only means
that our tests are imperfect.
Much has appeared in newspapers
regarding morons, term until recently
unheard. Strange and motiveless
crimes have been found to be due not
to deliberate criminal intent, but to
abnormal mental conditions. Such
freakish crimes as setting fire to build
ings for the pleasure of seeing the
blaze turning on fire alarms to see the
engines turn out, stealing useless ana
worthless things, and especially those
dark and mysterious crimes caused by
exaggerated or perverse sex impulses.
are explained today as the act of men
tally abnormal rather than criminal
persons. In fact, Judge Olsen, chief
justice of the Municipal court of Chi
cago, says that all criminals are in
sane.
The trouble is that today, the feeble
minded person is not recognized until
he commits some act which to the nor
NAL mind is criminal. We are still
treating mental conditions very much
like our forefathers treated contagious
diseases.
DR.. Walter E. Fernald, superintend-
ent of the Massachusetts School for
the Predetermined estimates that
there are $4,000 feebleminded children
in Massachusetts, not more than $4,000
OF whom have been recognized.
The only method which SO fer
offers any hope is the mental exami-
nation of every child when it enters
school, and special training and edu-
cation for those found mentally de-
fective.

Uncle Sam Is Building
Eleven Concrete Roads

One Appius Claudius Caecus, a Ro-
man censor, won honorable mention in
our history books by building the IA
nous Appian way, which carries traffic
southeast out Of Rome to this day. He
started work in 312 B. c. on sec
ton 140 miles long. He sometimes
built entertainments of earthen work
20 feet high, and the road surface it
self was of carefully cut stones ce-
mented together over two feet of
gravel. But the rest of this 350-mile
highway. to the heel of the Italian
boot was finally paved just 400 hun
dred years later.
Rome sat upon her seven hills and
ruled the world over her highways In
the wilds of Macedonia their ruins
may be found In England l have
driven over them, resurfaced with
modern materials. A marvellous sys-

Closed Autos Now Make
Wider Roads Necessar,

A few years ago most of the auto
mobiles were open models; a closed
car then was somewhat of rarity,
and was regarded as more town
model than anything else. Today, how
ever, this condition Is vastly changed,
and we find that now approximately
IS per cent of the automobiles sold are
closed models.
Consideration of this fact will re
veal that this situation makes great
deal of difference in traffic conditions
When most of the automobiles were
open cars, motorists would go driving
only when there was prospect of con-
tinued fair weather. Now, however,
the possibility of rain does not deter
the automobile owner from taking his
car for spin when he has the time;
even if it does rain ne can be dry and
comfortable inside his gasoline coach
This means that the average mum.
Der of cars on the road is always much
greater. (And one must not lose sight
of the fact that more cars of all mod
els are being sold today than ever be-
fore.)
All of which points out the necessity
of more paved roads-and wider ones.
New pavements must be built wider.
Old ones, which have become made
quate to handle the greatly increased
traffic, must be wldened by laying
strips of concrete beside the old pave
ment
This is exactly what is being done
in many communities. Road officials
realize the necessity of wider roads.
And it is necessary that those who use
roads and those who are benefited by
the use of them support these officials
in getting wider roads. 1t is up to
them, in fact, to insist on wider roads.

BUILDING NOW
DEMANDS RIGHT MEN

In the early days of road building.
any contractor who could spread stone
and roll it was good enough to ZEN
glneer" the road to be built. Today
all organizations engaged in road build
ing are looking for the trained road en-
gineer, and when there are not enough
to go round, sending their own men to
college for better training in highway
building.
In 1919 the University of Michigan,
which has departments of highway en-
cheering and highway transport (Prof.
Arthur FL Blanchard) offered graduate
short period courses in highway engi-
neering and highway transport, leading
to the degree OF master of science or
master of science in engineering, ar
ranged especially for men engaged in
the practice of highway engineering
and highway transport
In 1920 the attendance was % /;
while in 1929, no men attended
these courses, the average age of the
men being twenty-seyen years, ranging
from twenty-three to fifty-six years.
These men came from the United
States bureau of public roads, state,
county, and municipal highway depart
ments. contractors organizations, com
panies manufacturing motor trucks.
highway machinery and materials,
universities, and from the field of high
way transport During 1924, IS
graduate short period courses were
offered, ten in the field of highway en-
cheering and eight in highway trans
port. These courses were given by a
staff of eight professors and ten non
resident lecturers.
The road building world is looking to
the engineer, the trained man, the
technician, for light on how to build
better. less expensive, more permanent
highways. 1t is generally recognized
now that the day of the rule-of- thumb
builder is gone, and that only the en-
gineer, proficient in the art and ia
miliar with the best practice, is the
economical spender of the Taxpayers
money.
