INFANTS ARE

Treatment Causes Marked Re

Mortality Rate

Washington, Oct. 3O.-tR)-Infants
have been successfully vaccinated
against tuberculosis, DR.. b. Weill-
Halle, associate director of the school
for child welfare of the College of
Medicine, Paris, said today before the
National Tuberculosis association con-
vention.
"'B c G. is the name given the sub
stance used in vaccinating infants"
said DR.. Weill-Halle. 1T has resulted
in the reduction of mortality to less
than one per hundred the first years
Of life, whereas the mortality among
children Of the same age, not so vac
cinated and reared in contaminated
families. is at least twenty-five per
hundred"
Not A Sure Cure
The reports were based on the ex-
perience among infants in France
Great Britain, belgium and sweden.
"This treatment is not a cure for
tuberculosis" DR.. Weill-Halle stated
"The vaccination is performed only
upon infants and Immediately after
birth. Up to the present, only very
small number of deaths from tuber-
culosis is reported, or Of diseases pre-.
sunled to be tuberculosis. Our data
as yet is insufficient to determine the

vaccine's Preparation
The preparation Of the vaccine used
is highly technical and must be safe

DAM. BUILT TO
CRASH IN TEST
OF STRENGTH
Exact Data on Amount Of
Stress and Strain May
Avoid Much Waste

Fresno, Cal, Oct. 30--GF)-Built in
the belief that millions of dollars
have been wasted in the construc-
ton Of hydro electric dams and that
exact data on the amount Of stress
and strain will enable engineers to
avoid waste, Il series Of tests is being
made on the Stevenson Creek expert
mental dam G2 miles east Of Fresno.
The tests, by the United States
bureau Of standards, are attracting
attention Of engineers throughout
the world.
Try Varied Thicknesses
The dam, sponsored by the En-
gineering Foundation Of New York.
has been built ut a cost Of 100000.
II is 60 feet high, 1IO feet long
across the top and ~ feet thick at
the base. Thirty feet above the base
it is only 2la feet thick and that
thickness is maintained to its top.
The structure. in the language Of
the engineers, is a single arch. con
slant radius dam of ordinary concrete
and steel construction.
Stevenson Greek is n mere tricklc

the present tests is drawn from one
of the tunnels Of the Southern Cali
fornin Edison company, which affords
supply sufficient to fill the dam
in little more than an hour. Start
ing with a five foot depth of water.
tests have been made with increasing
depths to the top of the dam.
Water Pressure Until Breaks
Plans are being made to build the
structure 100 feet high, using only
the 81. feet thickness Of concrete
and steel which now extends from
30 feet above its base to its present
top of 60 feet. Water will be ad-
mitted behind the dam and tests made
until the structure breaks from the
pressure.
In building the dam effort was
made to use concrete Of average pro-
portions, with one part cement. three
parts sand and two parts rock, with
usual steel reinforcing. Proportions
Of the structure are lighter than
those ordinarily employed in dams
intended to impound water. 1t is
hoped that the tests will affort exact
information as to stresses, both in
ternal and external, which will make
possible economies in future con
struction.

Whether women can combine a
professional career with the duties
Of wife and mother has been a moot
question in London since the learned
women, chiefly single, gave the ball
another sprightly fling at the Uni
versity Women's conference in AM
sterdam.
Opponents of women entering the
learned professions in the old fash
toned days used to argue that
neither the brains nor the bodies Of
women were equal to the strain. But
il has been brought out in England
that nearly all medical women APP
pear to have found no difficulty
in combining their exacting profess
sions with marriage and mother
hood.
View Of Woman Doctor
Women of science. however, are
too scientific to think much of
matrimony. This was brought
home at Oxford during the meeting
Of the British Association, there be-
ing but one or two married women
who participated in the discussions
relating to science.
DR.. Mary Scharlieb, dean Of Brit
ish Medical Women, considers that
marriage and motherhood are great
assets to wOmen-tlOctOrs. "Such
women" says DR.. Scharlieb, "have
first hand knowledge Of the physi-
ology and psychology Of wcmen
| such as no other doctor can pos
| scSs."
Doctor Scharlicb is herself
notable example. She married a
barrister early in her career and
her three children achieved good
pOsitions-One as schoOlmaster,
the second as medical practi-
tioner, and the third as medical
woman. She is no exception.
Other women doctors in Harley
Street are wives and mothers.
In Field OF Science
Madam Curie is brilliant ex-
ceDti6n to the women of science
whose marriage stimulated her stu
dies and led to the discovery of
radium. With the great French
woman may be classed the late
Lady Higgins, whose youthful in
terest in the stars developed into
Ia partnership in study and discov-
Iery after her marriage to the great
astronomer, Sir William Higgins.

Louise Strong, who returned recently

of over 1000 on the subject "My Four
Years in Russia" Strong's vivid pic
ture of Russian life and conditions
was so impressive that one felt as
tho you had been travelling with
Strong thru Russia.
Vast changes have taken place in
Russia, she declared, and the peasant
servitude and ignorance OF centuries
was being changed by the energetic
program of construction of the Rus
sian Communist Party. The old ideas
were giving way to new ideas.
Taxes are going down and wages
of the worker are rising with the in
dustrial development of the Soviet
Union, went ON Anna Louise Strong.
The place of work is the center of
life. The shop and factory has its
library, culture clubs, centers for the
youth and adults.
The educational system Is making
great progress. The different factories
and mines select an Individual who
is schooled and when he returns to
the factory he transplants the knowl-
edge he has gained in its life.
All down the line in the construc-
tion of economic and social life in
Russia the problem is to choose be-
tween two types Of people to do the
work. One, the expert of czarist days
who often sabotages development
and the very willing unskilled worker
who wants 20 see his country improv-
