MIGRATORY BIRDS
 AS GERM CARRIERS
Doctor Advances Theory They
 May Spread Paralysis

Charleston, W. Va, Oct. 21 R- A West Virginia physician has ad- vanced a theory that migratory birds may be "carriers" of infantile paralysis and the cause of periodic outbreaks of that disease.
 Dr. L. H. McCuskey of Mounds vile, presents this idea in a paper for the West Virginia Medical Jour- nal, the officials publication of the State Medical Association.
 Dr. McCuskey's study of his theory dates back to a discovery he made during a paralysis epidemic in 1916. A paralyzed bird fluttering around his chickens and another bird, unable to walk or fly, that he found In ditch outside the pen, brought the problem to his atten- ton.
 II was but few days later that he found another paralyzed bird in the mash pan of separate pen where two chickens were kept and his theory got further substantia- tion when. after feeding the chick ems for two mornings from the same pan without cleaning it. both chick ems developed paralysis.
 The recent epidemic of paralysis which reached peak in the sec ton of this and neighboring states not far from Marshall County, again gave support to Dr. McCuskeys theory and he says that during this years epidemic he found a number or paralyzed birds which might have infected fruit in orchards.

N. Y., who disappear ed from theater here Wednesday night.
 The Rev. Dascomb Forbush. pas tor of the First Congregation church Of Canandaigua, her husband, had attended a performance at the thea ter with his wife just before she vanished.
 An overwhelming desire for ahso- lute solitude, complex Mrs. For bush is said to have suffered after a severe attack in influenza while engaged in war work at Baltimore. is believed to have prompted the woman to leave her husband, as she had done on several previous occa- sions, while he waited for her to emerge from the theater rest room.
 The police are not confining their search to Randall Highlands, but are combing every secluded patch of woods and park areas in the city.
 Easing his belief upon reports of physicians who treated his wife atfer her last strange disappearance, Rev. MT. Forbush told police and friends here that he thought his wife would be found hiding in & park or in the nearby Virginia woods.

"Cleanliness next to God Illness" is said to be maxim thor oughly believed in by the school board. When Railroad avenue youth failed to attend school for sev- eral days, Tallmadge visited his home to learn the reason. The boys mother informed him that she was "too busy to keep the boys face clean"
 Acting on this information. the truant officer took towel and soap and gave her son a thorough wash ing and packed him off to school.

just the reverse. The influx of some 100000 helpless and homeless im- migrants into a country whose orig inal population was no more than 5,000,000 had, instead of submerg-
 ing the country, brought into it new intelligence and new enterprise, had led to the establishment Of new in- dustries and the development of old ones, and had turned an apparent liability into an asset.
 MT. Eddy explained that the set tlemcnt commission of four mcm- bers, two of them Greeks, and the ether two including chairman with a casting vote, appointed by the League of Nations, was vested
 in it's own sphere with an authority equal 10 that of the Greek govern ment itself. Such an arrangement
 was only possible under the aus piCcS of the League of Nations, and 1t was a satisfactory and significant fact that the chain man had only once had to use his deciding vote. Illc plOCFcuo Ol d IOill ol l1"-uhp,- 900 had been spent since 1924, and repayments by the refugees had al- ready begun. The agricultural prob lem was much simpler than the ur- ban, for many of the towns were overcrowded already and it was diff ficult to establish refugees in them. A good deal, however, had been done even there. Tn the Piraeus, for example, industries such as car
 pet weaving, the manufacture Of
 tiles and cement, and work at the
 docks and in silk and cotton mills
 had absored a number Of refugees. Roughly speaking, coo, 0,0G0 refugees,
 comprising 149,000 families, were
 provided for in agricultural settle
 ments and another 100, 900 in towns About 1000 refugee villages had
 been built.
 "The work done in Greek Mace
 donia had been particualrly success
 tul. About 117,000 families had been
 settled there, with the result, very
 important politically, that this re-
 zion, instead of being the home of a
 dangerously mixed population, was
 now over 90 per cent Greek. Cotton.
 fruit, tobacco. and machinery for
 silkworms were being cultivated and
 wheat was grown extensively. The
 money advanced to the refugees
 went in building homes, In provid- ing equipment, stock, and fertilizers,
 and in public work, such as the con-
 struction of roads, irrigation, and
 the draining of marshes. A good
 deal still remained to be done, and

personages. one who had raised himself to dictatorship over a great nation by his apparently inexhausti- ble energy and ambition; the other the nominee of scores of millions of people for a great spiritual post.
 Substantiation of the general be- lief was seen In the frigid reception Of the manifesto in Vatican circles today.
 It was not concealed that the Vatican authorities had expected some concession of temporal power. They would have been satisfied with what after all would have been re- garded as nominal sovereignty over the small Vatican domains.
 Now the fascist manifesto not only has said that no such concession could be made but has added that, in the belief of fascists, the removal of sovereign power in 1870 strength ened the church by increasing it's spiritual prestige.
 The Vatican did not hope for much popular support from abroad following the clash, so many Catho- lies outside of Italy recognize the Pope only as spiritual leader.
 This is true particularly in the United States, it was pointed out.
 Despite the shock of realization that Mussolini's and the Pope's ideas diverged so sharply, 1t was hoped here that compromise still would be possible. The Vatican as well as fascists pointed out that there was no necessity for haste, and with this fact in mind, 1t was thought a solution might be ef- fected.
 Such a compromise, 1t was said, probably would depend on the suc- cess with which a fine line could be drawn between actual kinglike sovereignty of the Pope over his domain and mere actual proprietor ship of the territory, in whose ad- ministration, it would be taken for granted, Italy would not concern herself,
