ARNOLD LETTERS
PROVE BETRAYAL
BROUGHT AWARD

NEW YORK, March 2.-Benediet
Arnold believed that had ne been
able to carry out sAis plans for this
betrayal of America the Revolution
airy war would have been brought to
an end favorably to tire British and
he so expressed himself in letter
written in 1888.
Little did the traitor think at the
time he wrote Thomas Townsend
zone of his majesty's principal sec
retaries of state" asking that he
and his officers in a provincial corps
be put on the British establishment,
that the communication later would
be sold in America for $4,000.
The price, which was obtained at
an American art gallery sale, was a
record one and would have been IL
small fortune at the time Arnold was
in, dire needs of funds.
Addressed as "The Memorial of
Benedict Arnold" the letter follows:
"Humbly sheweth that your memo
rialist influenced by sentiments of
loyalty to the king and attachment
to the British constitution has sacri-
ficed a handsome property in Amer
lea, and prospects that were extreme
ly flattering, and at the most
eminent hazard of his life co-operated
with Sir Henry Clinton, commander
in-chief of. the British army in Amer
lea, but his Intentions and measures

be brought to the happy issue which
promised to put a favorable end to

cans, and having joined the British
army at New York he eXerted HIM
self in raising a provincial corps, at
very great expense to himself and
officers, under the idea and promise
that his corps (called the American
Legion), should be put on the estab-
lishment when completed But hay-
ing raised about four hundred men,
his officers were, (for reasons I'M
known to him) prevented by the
commander-in chief from compleating
their numbers.
Your memorialist begs to leave
to observe that number of provin-

claim to merit than his, and other

establishment through the interest

Erosion viii Cause
Fall of M0tferhorn

The Matterhorn is one of the most
dangerous of the Alps to climb and, If
weather conditions are not right, one
of the most difficult, according to a
bulletin issued by the National Geo
graphic society. Long after many
other famous Alpine heights were
scaled the Matterhorn remained un-
vanquished; by 1850 it was rated UNI
attainable It was first climbed by
four Englishmen and three guides, on
July IA, 1855. On the way down three
climbers and one guide, tied together,
fell over a 4,000-foOt precipice to
death. Only the breaking of the rope
saved the lives Of one climber and two
other guides.
Day by day in warm weather the
Matterhorn continues to shower down
part of itself. Already the hard
upper pyramid hangs over bit in
places, where the softer rock below
has wasted away. Some day-how
many thousands Of years hence it is
| useless to guess the supporting rock
will give way, biologists say. and the
huge top. weighing millions of tons,
will topple over with one of the most
tremendous crashes ever heard by the
ear of man.
| Most Matterhorn ascents are made
from the Swiss side. with Zermatt the
starting point. though the climb from
Breuil, Italy, is rated the greater
feat. The Italian-Swiss boundary runs
over the crest of the mountain. Ter
matt grew from village to a respect
able little town largely because Of
the influx of those who wished to
look npon the Matterhorn in its vari-
Gus moods and those who wished to
scale it.

OUR DEADLIEsT WEAPON

a T THE close of the year, an es-
4 innate made by the automobile in
dustries shows that there are now in
use in the United States 20,200,000 au-
tomobiles. These vehicles were re-
sponsible, in 1924, for 1888 deaths in
the registration area. AS this area
now includes 1876 per cent of the to-
tai population, it is estimated by the
United States public health report
that the total number of deaths from
automobile accidents for 1924 would
be 1855. This is death rate of 1871
per 100000, a steady increase for the
last five years. In 1923 1t was 14.9 !;
in 1922 it was 1875; in 1921 it was
11.5, and In 1920 only 1O.4. So the
death rate from automobiles has in
creased over so per cent in five years.
AS the federal bureau of the CEN
sus assigns the cause of death from
collisions in all cases to the heavier
vehicles, these figures do not include
deaths due to collisions between au-
tomObiles and electric cars or rail-
roads. So this total of 1855 should
be increased by the addition of all
deaths due to railroad accidents in
vOlving automobiles
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion reports that in 1924 there were
1858 deaths due to collisions between
automobiles and railroad trains. This
added to the total number of deaths
due directly to automobiles would in
dictate that the total death list for
automobile accidents for 1924 was
1928.
Nearly twenty thousand lives lost
through automobiles in one year.
The distribution of these accidents
by states shows curious differences,
ANY comparison of the exact number
Of deaths is, Of course. unfair. as the
population In different states varies
widely. The only fair basis is that
in which all our mortality statistics
are figured, namely. the rate per
100000 of population.
On that basis the rate for automo-
bile deaths in California is 32 per
100, 900, over twice the country's aver
age rate of 1871, while the rate in
North Dakota is only SO. only one
fifth that of California. Naturally
the rate for cities is higher than for
the country.
In time we may learn to live with
the automobile, as we have learned to
live with the railroad train, but the
present price is truly expensive one

CATCHING SMALLPOX
THROUGH THE NOSE

SMALLPOX is the original and typ
~ ical germ disease. Up to the dis
covery of vaccination by Jenner about
one hundred years ago, it was the
commonest and the most terrible of
all the contagious diseases. A proverb
of those days said From death and
smallpox, no one escapes 1t was so
common that at one time, when no
torious criminal escaped from an Eng
fish prison and his description was
printed and distributed all over Eng
land, one Of the important signs by
which he could be recognized was that
he had never had smallpox, and so
had no pits on his face. Smallpox
was so common then that anyone who
was not pock-marked was cOnspicu-
GUS. Today, you can stand on
crowded street corner for hours and
watch thousands of persons pass be-
fore seeing one pock-marked face.
Jenner heard young dairymaid
say that she couldn't have smallpox
because she had already gotten cow
pox from one of the cows she had
MIXED. This was a general belief
among the common people In the dairy
region of England. Jenner proved by
experiments with human beings that
incubation with cowpox virus would
protect against smallpox. He had to
make his experiments on human be-
ings, because at that time there was
no animal known that was susceptible
to smallpox Jenner's work was done
nearly fifty years before Pasteur's
time, and no one at that day knew
how to find and study disease germs.
In fact, there wasn't microscope in
the world in Jenner's day that would
have made them visible So Jenner
could only develop a method for pro-
tecting individuals against this disease
without attempting in any way to find
out what caused it.
Strangely enough, in all our prog
ress in discovering the cause and pre-
venting the spread of tuberculosis,
yellow fever, cholera, malaria, diph-
iberia, wound infections and other Sc
riOus diseases, our knowledge today
regarding smallpox is little greater
than 1t was In Jenners time. We
know 1t Is some kind of microscopic
germ, but what 1t is, where or how 1t
exists outside the body or how it gets
into the body, no one knows.
In report of the medical research
council of England appears the result
of some work just completed by Dr.
NJ. H. Gordon, which at last increases
our knowledge Gordon finds that
rabbits and some breeds of monkeys
are susceptible to smallpox and that
the disease probably begins with symp-
toms very much like bad ''cold in the
head" This means that smallpox is
probably one of the great group of
respiratory diseases and that infec-
ton occurs not through the skin as
has always been supposed, but through
the discharges from the throat and
nose of the smallpox patient.
