Fierce Fighting in ,
 China Is Described

London, Sept. IS PSReports from China printed here yesterday describe very fierce fighting on September between the British punitive forces and the Chinese some dispatches reporting 2'ooo Chinese casualties. The officials here say that figure Is "very greatly exaggerated" although it is admit ted the affray was serious.
 The encounter was at 6 port on the upper Yangtse river between General Yang Sens legionarles ana 3, small British naval force. It was much like an eighteenth century naval battle staged for the movies, with hand to hand fighting.
 The British were greatly outnurn- bered but effected a dramatic re- lease of the British officers held prisoner aboard merchantmen which had been seized by the Chinese and crowded to the rails with guards.

His Faction Also Said to Be Set for Abolition of Two-Thirds - Rule and Retention of Unit Rule.

Chicago, Sept. Is P)-W. G. Mo Adoo, will be a candidate for the democratic presidential nomination in 1928 on a dry platform. His fac ton of the party will insist, in its pre-convention campaign upon aboli- convention with retention of the unit rule, rigid enforcement of the eight teenth amendment and Nolstead act, plus farm relief.
 These assertions were made in Chicago today by George F. Milton of Chattanooga, vice chairman in 1924 of the McAdoo pre-convention committee and regarded today as the McAdoo spokesman.
 "McAdoos Is the best bet for the party nomination." MT. Milton said, "pooh-poohing talk of split in the ranks two years hence.
 Twelve states have been placed on record this year as opposed to the two-thirds rule, including Iowa, Oklahoma. Texas, New Jersey. Cali fornia, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, South Dakota and Arizona
 "A mail poll of the national com mittee shows a four to one opinion for majority rule.
 "The two-thirds rule gives Tam | many Hall a veto against the south, but gives the south no veto against Tammany.
 "McAdoo Is by far the outstandine candidate of the progressive wing of the party. This group, however would support Senator Thomas J Walsh of Montana, Edward F. Mere dith of Iowa, or Homer S. Cummings | of Connecticut"

Val Flood Tells Why Men Enjoy
 Seeing Title Contests

Men love to see someone else do can do it." said Val Flood, Shuttle Meadow clubs pro. last evening when he spoke at the Exchange clubs regular weekly meeting at the Burritt hotel before large at tendance. Men will pay huge sums to see Jack Dempsey exchange blows with Gene Tunney; to see Red Grange dash down a field 75 yards through II men that are out to lay him low; to see Bobby Jones drive a. golf ball around course two strokes under par and to see Johnny WeiGnuller splash hundred yards ahead of other good swimmers" he said. 'It is the psychology of man to imagine himself in the place of the winner. We do not all have the opportunity to make a 50 yard run through a line or to play around an so par course in 75 but we can watch someone else and imagine ourselves in their place.
 Taking golf, as Bobby Jones is now trying to excel others at that game, there is a dominance in cer- tain mems characters that makes winners. A certain amount of con- fidence will wither the lesser con- fidence of another player, be it golf or football or checkers. Hagen has that confidence in q noisy, bragging demeanor that willis his opponents. Jones has 1t in a quiet reserve that is more powerful because it is silent. Dempsey has 1t in an easy ring presence that disturbs lesser fighters. Grange has it in a powerful confident run that makes tacklers hesitate be- fore they bring him down. Con- fidence. That is the keynote Of supremacy in sports.

 Paul Smiths, N. Y, Sept. Is oA'i- President Cooidge's engagement list was blank today, and indications were that it would remain so during the remaining days of his Adiron- dack vacation. No more guests or callers are expected, and apparently the president plans to spend the time enjoying the wilderness solitude of White Pine camp or attending to routine work at the executive offices.
 The newspaper correspondents who have been reporting the actlvl- ties at the summer White House were entertained with their wives at the camp yesterday afternoon by Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge. Host and hostess escorted their guests over the wood land estate. chatting pleasantly as they pointed out various points of in- terest.
 Unless there is a last minute change of plans, Mir. and Mrs. Cool idge, who are now alone in camp except for their servants, will leave Saturday morning.

team ever lost a game because 1t was 'overtrained'. There isn't any such animal. Colleges also lay too much on winning. It isn't the aim of athletics to produce a bunch of winners. Everybody can't win and there's no reason why losing team should feel any worse than the vic torious team. If they played well, with no more than the usual amount of errors that occur In every game, they have no reason to feel down. hearted. Too much stress on win ming has done more to hurt athletics than every other interest"
 Mir. Flood went on to talk on the care of golf course greens and the problems that confront greens keepers, or rather, as he put it, those who try to keep greens as he keepers. He stated that the job of tending greens Is as yet very much undeveloped and that about 800 years from now somebody might know something about keeping greens. MT. Flood told of the prob lems in projectile engineering that caused the present shape and size Of the golf ball and gave some Of his views on the errors in the present style.
 He also gave some of his own boxing experiences. using for a model in explaining blows, Charles Bradley.

Last week a professor Of ortho-

In which my bird was busily sing
ing, and noticed that the warbler
was standing on one foot, the other
pulled up under his feathers as though
to protect it.
He reached his hand in the cage
and gently drew the bird oct to ex-
anime it. The bird did not appear
at all frightened. but seemed to real
lie that he was in the hands Of a
friend.
The sight Of this tall, dignified but
gruff type of man holding the little
songster in his big hands, examining
it's sore foot and ministering to it,
then taking the roosts out and wash
ing them before returning them to
the cage, was a sight long to be re-
membered by all Of US who saw 1t.

A REAL MISSIONARY

SCIENTIFIC men have, whenever
experimentation In order to increase
their knowledge of diseases and how
to prevent them. But when, for any
reason, this is impossible, they have
never hesitated to use the bodies of
human beings, usually their own.
When General Sternberg, surgeon
general of the army, ordered Maj
Walter Reed to find out whether there
was any truth in the theory that mos
quitoes carried yellow fever, Major
Reed called for volunteers. That was
in 1899, just after the Spanish-Amer-
lean war, when yellow fever was far
more deadly than Spanish bullets.
Capt. James Carroll and Jesse Lazear
of the army, and Aristotle Agramnonte,
Spanish physician of Havana, volun-
teered, also two priyates, Kessinger
and Moran.
At that time man was the only an
imal known which was susceptible to
yellow fever, so these experiments
had to be made on human bodies.
They were made. Reed, Carroll and
Lazear lost their lives, but yellow fe-
yer is now practically extinct dis
ease.
But such heroism is by no means
confined to soldiers. Dispatches from
London say that six English doctors,
selected from large number of vol
unteers, have been inOculated with the
newly discovered cancer germ, which
Doctors Gye and Barnard found, as
told you a few weeks ago. Now
they are waiting to see whether they
will develop the most frightful disease
and SO prove that cancer is caused by
germ.
Meanwhile, the Missionary Review
tells of DR.. G. H. Barlow, medical
missionary to China. In his work
among the Chinese, Doctor Barlow OBJ
served what he had long known, that
the Chinese were afflicted with a
strange form Of intestinal parasite, a
liver fluke. He set out to study this
parasite and to find out how to pre-
vent it and to cure its victims. But
he was greatly hampered for lack OF
laboratory equipment He couldn't
build and equip laboratory In the
middle of China. How could he get
some Of these fiukes back to the
Johns Hopkins medical school in Bal
timore where they could me studied.
The only place they would live was
in the human body. He couldn't bring
.ga1- rvt,fv,aea man hack IN America
as the immigration laws forbade it.
So he waited until he was ready to
start home on vacation. Then he took
80 flukes from a Chinese patient, put
them in glass and drank them, and
30 got them to Johns Hopkins alive
Now he's back In China telling the
! people there how to avoid fiukes-

4 GRAFTON ago was piker. He
mixed bottle of citric acid and 8
pinch of cochineal in a washtub with
ten or fifteen gallons of water from
the town pump, put in enough sugar
to Sweeten it and a couple of sliced
up lemons for an attractive back
ground and sold it for five cents :
Today the pink lemonade business,
like most of our modern industries,
has been systematized and organized,
and, as usually happens, the business
has been enormously increased. The
people Of this country now drink five
billions of bottles of soft drinks"
every year. That's five with nine ci-
piers after it. It's five thousand mil
lion bottles or nearly bottle week
for every man, woman and child in
the land.
This immense supply is largely imi-
tation fruit drinks. Such drinks have
a legitimate place in the market. They
are most of them clean and whole
some, they taste good, they quench
the thirst and the sugar they contain
gives them considerable food value:
Imitation fruit drinks do not contain
real fruit juice but are made by add
Ing artificial fruit f1ayors, a coloring
mixture and fruit acid to strip. An
ounce of this mixture is then added
to five or six ounces of carbonated
water.
These fruit flavors have been made
by highly skilled chemists from sub
stances which were formerly used In
making perfumes. They are such per-
feet limitations of the real favors that
it is almost impossible to detect them.
For instance, most of the so-called
grape drinks have the exact odor and
taste of freshly crushed Concord
grapes. But they never saw Con-
cord grape. They are made of a
chemical called methyl anthranilate
Flavors can also be bought which are
an exact imitation of strawberry,
cherry, raspberry and peach juice.
Only about FIVE drops of these artifi-
cial fiavors to glass of water viii
give it distinct flavor.
The color Is also furnished by imfta-
ton. Amaronth gives various shades
of pink and red Naphthol furnishes
yellow and orange. This is gotten
from coal tar dyes or, in those states
in which this is prohibited, from eoch-
meal OF caramel.
These beverages are generally made
under sanitary precautions and are
usually clean and not unwhoIesome.
But the purchaser is entitled to what
he pays for, so limitations should be
plainly labeled and sold for what they
are and not as genuine fruit drinks.
