BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The
hunt for the germ causing the dread
foot-and mouth disease, which has
attacked herds and fiocks In this
country over a period of forty years.
is again in full cry
Three American scientists have
Just landed in France to attempt to
isolate the germ so that a preventive
and curative vaccine can be per-
fected.
At the moment this country is en-
tirely free from the dread disease,
the last trace having been stamped
out in Texas some months ago. That
is why the Department of Agricul-
ture is spending $4,000 and sending
men thousands OF miles to wage the
Semitic hunt
German Scientists
For a time last year it was be-
lieved two German scientists, Frosch
and Dahmen, had discovered the
germ. but DIR John r Mohler, chief
of the Bureau of Animal Industry,
is dubious over their claims
When Mohler made his request
for $4,000 to hunt the germ some
Congressman wondered why the re-
search couldn't be carried on in this
81
Ter explained
IT would rather not have $4,000
or rs cents If I had to do the work
here in Washington or at any other
point in the United States" he said
'Why?" asked Congressman Mad
den.
Because would not care to take
the risk Of having the cirrus escape
from the laboratory and cause great
losses to the live stock industry of
the United States "
To Get Virus
Mohler then explained that before
a vaccine can be prepared scientists
must have some of the actual foot
and-mouth disease virus to expert
ment with and this presents untold
dangers. The reason the expert
ments can be carried on abroad is
that in many European countries the
disease is now prevalent.
The three scientists conducting
the research are DR.. P. K. Olitzsky,
Of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research; DR.. Jacob Traum
Of the University of California, and
DR.. Harry w. Schoening, Of the
Bureau of Animal HCsbandry. They
ire now at French government
laboratories at Abort near Paris.
The men will spend at least eigh-
.een months abroad and possibly
longer unless their efforts to locate
the cause of foot-and-muth disease
are successful sooner.

rumors of an artistic feud between
Maria Jeritza, .Viennese prima donna,

Two weeks ago, the story goes, in
a love scene Jeritza flung herself
into GigIi's arms with such violence
that the tenor almost collapsed. Soon
it was Gigli's turn, and Jeritza came
near going through the footlights.
Last week, after a scene in 'Tosca"

Already illusions to the Presidents s

House went into an uproar last week
when a Democrat recited a poem he

Coal Once Was King
 In Alaskan Gold Camp

NOME, Alaska, Mar 24.-(AP), In the early days of Nome coal was more precious than the yellow metal banned from the mountain streams and on the Boring Sea beach.
 The only places of business that had enough coal were saloons. An oldtimer prospector made coat with a sack inside. Each evening he would go to the North Star Wine Palace" and sit down by the coal box. When no one was looking, he would place a lump of coal in his sack, go to the bar for a drink, and return to his cabin. He did this until the proprietor, Pat Cleary, no- ticed his coal supply dwindling. One night the prospector stayed too long and filled his sack too heavily so that when he tried to rise the weight dragged him down. Cleary bounced on him, made him disgorge the coal and drove him outdoors.
 Laughing heartily the saloonkeep- CT called out: "Everybody step up, the drinks are on me. its the first time anybody ever mined coal in Pat Cleary's camp"

Chinese Students Resent
 Control By E foreigners

FOOCHOW, Mar. 24,-(AP).-To forestall a proposed strike by stud ents, the Anglo-C Chinese college, 8 middle school here, supported by the Methodist Episcopal church, has beer closed, the faculty declaring that il intends to maintain control rather than surrender to student domina ton even if it results in permanent dissolution of the school.
 The proposal to strike was the re- suit of the faculty's refusal to Ob serve a holiday which none of the government schools in Foochow rec. ognizes.
 The school has recently made long strides in the direction of Chinese control Fifteen months ago there were 15 foreigners on the staff. Now there are only five, the places of the others having been filled by Chin csc of similar educational standards In addition both deans are now Chi nese. One of the latter was stabbed last spring, supposedly by students who were angered by one of his rulings. The students in their prop aganda are promoting an anti-Chris- tian sentiment.
