Modern miracles of internal med
ical treatment, by which diabetes
is completely cured or greatly re-
lieved, and paralytics are given
back the use of their limbs. fea
tured the morning clinics at Wash
ington hospitals today, with many
delegates from the American Con-
gress on Internal Medicine present.

at George Washington University
Medical School, told his audience
how injections of insulin had saved
certain patients and in other case3
had so markedly improved patients

ton.
Doctor Mallory stated that care
must be taken by the physician
both in prescribing the diet and in
governing the administration of
insulin.
Time Important Factor.
eff the patient, with the aid OF
diet" said Doctor Mallory, ''can
take care of Is per cent OF the case
of illness, enough insulin must be
given to take care of the other 25
per cent"
He stressed the time factor in
the administration of insulin in
jections, and urged that doctors
individualize in every case.
Doctor John M. Ladd. psychiatrist,
in conducting the neurological
clinic at GallinRer Hospital today,
showed the doctors various patients
whom he has treated for partial
paralysis and other impairments of
the limbs and features.
Sleeping Sickness Cured.
He pointed out the Importance
OF making a thorough diagnosis Of
the case, rs many of these ailments
result from finely differentiated
disorders in nerve centers. Doctor
Ladd outlined the treatment given
in such cases.
Doctor Ladd followed up his talk
Of yesterday afternoon, in which ne
presented several cases Of ence-
phalitis - sleeping sickness The
treatment in these cases, he said
was determined by the discovery Of
the cause. The illness in all the
patients, he showed, was due to a
lesion in one Of the nerve centers
at the base of the brain.
Aside from the papers on diabetes,

This was the declaration made

a public hearing on coming in the

''There is an attempt under
way to nuIlify the regulation Of

"If this case is lost by the Com
mission, it may mean the powers
Ol the uOTO are sA4l1Sus
For the regulation of building use
is a vital part of all coming"
Commissioner Bell stated that all
those who wished to aid the city
in its fight to win the suit chould
communicate with James C.. Wilkes,
assistant corporation counsel, with
offices in the District Building.
Rufus Lusk and John Ihlder, who
attended the meeting, declared that
movements were under way here
for citizens to join the city in IFS
fight in the courts.
Hearing on Building Line.
The commission considered today
a regulation which would prohibit
the erection of buildings nearer the
sidewalk than are other buildings
in the block. The measure provides
that if per cent of land on one
side of a street is improved and
that if 80 per cent Of the improve
ments are located back of the build
ing line, then no person may erect
a building which extends out fur
Their than those already erected.
No action was taken. While no
objections were made, several citi.
zens in the hearing suggested that
amendments might be made to the
proposal Another hearing will be
held.

Private Loans to Aid
France In Repaying
Debt to u. S.

Loans by bankers in United
States to the French govern
ment and to private corpora
lions Of that nation are be-
lieved by Administration Off
Gals to have placed France in
better financial condition to
meet her $4,000, O00, 900 obliga-
ton to the American Govern
ment.
This expression Of opinion
was obtained from the Treasury
today when Secretary Mellon
was asked to comment on the
5000, 100000 franc loan pro-
posed by a former French fin
ance minister as necessary to
put France on her financial
feet.
Mellon however was UNDER
stood to feel that the admins
tration would not take official
action in reference to the loan
ing Of money to France through
private American banks. He
Indicated that bankers some
times asked the State Depart
ment whether or not there is
objection to foreign loans prior
to their flotation.

nv international News Service.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The stock
market was strong in the early trad
ing today, but only in spots. Prices
of the industrial leaders were
whipped along to higher levels at
the opening Of the market, numerous
stocks making gains of from ! to 3
points. Baldwin again exhibited uu-
usual strength, advancing to above
1877. the highest price in two years.
Air Reduction, American Ice, Com

priced industrials made an impressive
showing. Uts securities featured
the metal stocMS with a jump or

about S points in the first per1od.
The high price levels appeared to
invite profit-taking, however, ana
the market was deluged With selling
orders which affected every section
of the market and under the influ-
enca IF which prices waivered tenn
porarily and were once more headed
downward. The Industrial leaders
and high priced equipment and
speciality stocks displayed the great
est irregularity, but active stocks all
over the list were unable TO WITH.
stand selling pressure without at
least fractional recessions in price.
American Woolen's unfavorable re-
port for 1924, showing a deficit Of
more than $11 900. 900, invited no
further selling Of that stock in this
neriod. since most Of the beaflsn

REDENP ton Of
CERTIFICATES
ORDERED
Secretary Mellon Authorizes
Reserve Banks to Re-
deem Notes
By HARRY GUsACK.

The first. step in the Treasury's
March financing program was an
nounced by Secretary Mellon, who
has authorized the Federal reserve
banks to begin today and to con-
tinue until further notice to redeem
In cash, before March Is, 1925, at
the holders option, at par and &C.
crued interest to date Of such OPP
tional Treasury certificates Of I'M
debtedness of Series TN 1926, dated
March Is, 1924. and Treasury notes
Of series A 1925, dated February l,
1922, both maturing March Is.
This action was the first step in
the Treasury's March financing
program. The maturing certificates
aggregate 1926, 000, 900 and the ma
turing Treasury notes amount to
1923 600, 900, making a total OF
S559 900, 900 in maturities which the
Treasury will have to meet by
March Is. However, it is not ex-
pected that the March financing
will be very large. as the Treasury
has q balance OF some 500, 900 900
and tax receipts on the 10th should
bring in at least $3.50, 900, 900.
It is anticipated that the Treas
ury will offer two new issues OF
security next month, one for about
a year and the other probably for
q shorter term. in the aggregate CT
between $3.50, 000,0OO and $400, OO0..
900. OF the total issue it Is ex-
pected that the greater portion Will
be offered for subscription in ex.
change for maturing security AMI
probably only $3.50, zoo, 600 or $780,
100000 will be accepted in cash sub
Rcriptions.

A.B. A. Convention Opens.

With more than 1000 members
present, many of them from Wash
ington, the trust company section of
the American Bankers Association
opened its midwinter conference in
New York yesterday.
Francis H. Sisson, vice president
of the Guaranty Trust Company,
presided. He declared that trust
companies are making a very def
mite contribution to the welfare and
happiness of the people Of the entire
country. The prosperity of the
country, he said, gives emphasis to
the possibilities of trust companies
In investing wisely the wealth en-
trusted to them and conserving it
against a less active period.
A definite protest against the in
roads upon estates by inheritance
taxes was made by Edward A.
Woods, vice president of the Equi-
table Life Assurance Society. who
said that the public was evidently
unaware of the results Of these
taxes. He compared them with the
income tax. which he said is shared
by 100000 persons. while only
10000 are affected by the inheritance
tax.
The question of life insurance
trusts was discussed by Leslie G.
McDouall, assistant trust officer,
Fidelity Union Trust Co., Newark,
and Edward A. Woods, vice presi-
dent of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society of. Pittsburgh. Mr.. Nc
Douall is a member of the committee
on life insurance trusts of the Trust
Company Division, which has been
engaged for some time in promoting
cooperation between life under
writer's and trust companies.
He told of the hazards reducing a
mans estate, such as unwise stock
investments on the part of his heirs
and shrinkage due to inheritance
taxes, pointing 70 estimates that
over a billion dollars a year is lost
in the United States through fraudu-
lent stock selling operators. Inhert-
lance taxes "eat the heart out Of an
estate" he said. Mr.. McDouall de-
scribed the value Of life insurance
trusts in conserving estates for the
benefit of heirs in a way to- insure
the maximum of benefits.
