NEW MEDICAL IDEA
 !. BEING ADVANCED
Mierobic Heredity to Be EX- !. plained by Scientist

Rochester. N. T.. Aug. 1s P-- Discoveries in microbic heredity which are expected to revolutionize medical conception of certain dis eases will be announced by pr. Ralph R. Mellon, of the staff of the Highland hospital here, at the inter- national congress of plant sciences which opens in Ithaca. N. r., to- night
 pr. Mellon. who will be a repre- sentative of the American Society of Bacterology, declared his discover les are the result of fourteen years research. It is said that he has done to bacteria what Burbank did with plants.
 Before his departure for the con- gress, he stated that he has found proof of a new theory that microbes may sbe made to yield many new varieties or sports" just as higher plants do. and that sometimes the new varieties are less harmful germs than may be used In fighting the harmful ones. Sometimes an en- tirely new species result through hsredity modification, he said.
 When applied to diseases com tnonly thought of as having compl- ratoins. the theory revolutionizes medical conception of them, Dr. Mel lon said. The complications which follow some diseases, under the ne" theory, are not new bacteria that have gained foothold because of the weakened conditions of the body but may be simply different kinds of descendants of the same bacteria which caused the original disease.

DEMPSEY SETTLES DOWN
 TO STRENUOUS TRAINING
Difficulty Over Getting His License Does Not Interfere With His
 Working.
Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug. I

Saratoga Springs, N. r, Aug. 16 P)-Jack Dempsey, champion heavyweight, settled down to full program of intensive training for his proposed bout with Gene Tunney in September today, as his application for license to box Tunney again came before the New York state boxing authorities.
 The possibility of Dempsey having to go to court for a license, which loomed in the offing, caused no abatement in the training plans of the champion. Nor did it result in any more noticeable change in the plans of the challenger, according to word from Tunney's camp at Lake Pleasant.
 The Dempsey followers would make no comment on the license sit- uation when they read of the action of George F. Brewer, member of the state athletic commission, in placing the situation in the hands of the attorney general for a ruling as lo Wuelner lne license committee can refuse to grant a license to a boxer declared by the athletic com- mission to be eligible in every way. Dempsey has placed all the facts in his possession before the commits sion and will not go to New York again.
 The only comment forthcoming from the Tunney camp was: Dempsey will get his license all right, if he has to go to court" Tunney is entering today upon his second week of training, tipping the scales at 192. Dempsey's intensive training began yesterday with the usual training stunts and a dozen rounds with his sparring partners before 2,O0O who paid to see the champion in action. Word from the Tunney camp says 10000 persons crowded the roads leading to Lake Pleasant to catch a glimpse of the challenger.
