DENIES DIABETES
DIE FROM SUGAR
Doctor and Associate to De-
scribe New Treatment, Con-
tradicting Old Theory.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
BALTIMORE. Md, April "A new
treatment for diabetes will be ex-
planned before the members of the
American Chemical Society here
Thursday by DR.. Max Kahn of Beth
Israel Hospital, New York. and DR.. r.
H. Mckee OF Columbia University.
The treatment proceeds on a princi-
pie which contradicts the popular
opinion that sugar in the blood is the
cause of fatalities from the disease,
and consists in feeding the patient
intarvin. which IS the discovery of the
two scientists.
What actually kills people afflicted
with diabetes" DR.. Mckee says. "is the
fact that they cannot assimilate fats
properly. 1t is not the excess of sugar
in the blood which is the cause of un-
fortunate terminations of the illness,
although the great amounts of sugar
stored up in the blood stream of the
diabetic patient are responsible for his
feeling irritable and incapacitated.
ut has been discovered that sugars
are necessary for the proper digestion
of fats in the alimentary or digestive
tract" The scientist says that the
fats are burned away by the fame of
the carbohydrates, Of which sugar is
the principal one.
Dates were announced yesterday for
future congresses of the American
Chemical Society as follows. August
3 to s. Los Angeles; Spring. 1925,
Tulsa, Okla; Autumn, 1925. Philadel-
phia; Spring, 1927, Richmond, Va.
Toronto has invited the chemists to
meet there in the Autumn of 1927.

The Bible Still completely over

uel McCrea Cavert, general secretary
of the Federal Council of Churches,
said today in a statement calling at
tention to the 400th anniversary of
the first translation of the New Tes-
lament from Greek into English, to
be observed this year.
Only one copy of the English Bible,
printed by William Tyndale, its trans
lator, is eXtant, the statement said,
and il is at Bristol, England. Tyn-
dale's life and work will receive spe-
cial attention during the observance,
which will bring forth exhibits of
and public libraries.
"Tyndales work shaped the whole
course of succeeding translations,
from the famous Coverdale Bible to
the King James version in 1911" the
statement continued. Pastors and
Sunday school workers are being
urged by the council to stress the i'm
portance of this anniversary through
out the year. The translation of the
Bible from the original tongue, Tyn-
dale's heroism and martyrdom and
subjects suggested for discussion"

gious Education. Chicago, is promot-
ing interest in the movement, as are

Inc, the Wright Aeronautical Cor
poration and the Curtiss Aeroplane
& Motor Corporation, will not be de-
termined, it was said, until after the
controller general has had an oppor-
tunity to study the opinion made
public last night.
Under the opinion, the Navy and
War Departments may enter into
contracts with the companies con-
cernod, covering payment of royal
ties on airplanes in the future, and
it is understood they will proceed
with that course.
In so far as back payments are con-
cerned, it is regarded as probable
that the controller general may refer
all items in dispute to the Court of
Claims or hold hearings and request
of Congress appropriations sufficient
to cover payments ordered. Another
possibility exists that the Attorney
Generals opinion may be challenged
by Government departments concern
ed and the entire question thrown
