WI. R. WILL FEED
NEEDY WORKERS
Issues Call for Funds
to Push Relief

Food packages for the children of
the destitute coal miners and tex
tile workers are on their way to
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,
where they will be distributed by
the Workers International Relief,
Fred G. Biedenkapp, executive sec
rotary of that organization, an
nounced last night.
The National Miners Union and
the National Textile Workers
Union are cooperating with the w.
/. r. in the distribution of the pack
ages. The union in the respective
districts will determine which fam
lilies are in most need and see that
they obtain the food. The central
distribution points are Pittsburgh,
Pa, and New Bedford, Mass. From
these two cities, the leaders of the
union and the secretary of the local
w. I. R. will send the packages to
the homes in their vicinity.
In Pennsylvania, the food will be
given to the children in the coal
towns throughout the state. In
Massachusetts, they will be divided
between children in New Bedford
and Fall River. In both Pennsyl-
vania and Massachusetts industrial
centers, widespread poverty is
found, as a result of the sell-out
of the workers this year by the Of
ficialdom of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.

to him and Sir Eric Drummond not

Drummond send telegram to all

1t is stated that no answer has
been received to the Leagues COM

needs The instance of rubber is
most widely understood; We are
enormous consumers of rubber YET
grow none Of it. Our large importa-
lions OF various products have con-
tributed greatly 10 the recovery Of
European export trade: American
importations OF ten leading COM
modities from Latin-America and the
Orient since 1913 have increased Sc
per cent-products created largely
through the farflung uses OF Euro
pean capital In those centers Of the
globe. Europe also benefits from
such American imports through the
fact that most Of these lands are de-
pendant upon her for many manu-
featured imports.
The investment Of American CAPT
tai in Europe has increased from
s500,0o0.ooo before the war to S4,-
500.o00,000 today. 1t must not be
overlooked. however. that European
capital still has a large interest in
American industry; and in Canada
where industrial exports are being
developed, the backing Is largely by
American capital.
With information cartels, or COM
binations, remarkably common in
Europe since the war, added to this
International dependence upon eco
nomical development, one wonders
what has become of the old trade
rivalry" which was supposed to be
at the bottom OF many wars. Trade
rivalry between nations-there can
be less OF it when each nation is
leaning on other nations for an eco
nomic balance. Instead Of looking
upon the development Of trade in
another country with envy the
tendency today is TO look upon gen.
eral recovery with satisfaction be-
cause in the long run. and every
thing considered. it is good for bus
mess Especially is this the case in
Europe where the pre-war OBJ
structions to broad economic policy
have been battered down by the
agreements and combines Of indus
trials In various nations. The trade
agreements existing between various
industrialists in Europe, controlling
entire industries, in a sense are more
important than most Of the treaties
rcposing in the chancellories.

LOOK INTO CAUSE
Of A HIGH fever
High Blood Temperature to
Combat The Disease

Princeton, N. j.. May IS R-1n-
vestigation of the causes Of high
fever induced In men working
about low wave length radio broad
casting apparatus. it is believed, may
lead to a treatment Of diseases such
as paresis. in which a high blood
temperature is used to combat tho
germ OF the disease.
Experiments conducted by Profess
sor William G. Richards Of the De-
partment Of Chemistry of Princeton
university, and Alfred Z. LOOMS OF
the LOOMS Laboratories Tuxedo
Park. n. j.. showed the heating ef-
fects Of various wave lengths on salt
solutions OF similar concentration 10
that contained in the human blood.
The experiments we're begun when
1t was noticed that men working with
six-meter radio sets In the factories
of the General Electric company
som etimes tainted or suddenly be-
came i'll.
Used on Salt
Radio waves from different pow
cred sets were used on salt solutions
and it was discovered that the tens
perature induced varied with the
wave length and the concentration
Of the solutions which were used. 1t
was found that the maximum tenn
perature was induced by a six-meter
wave-length apparatus on solution
Of salt water approaching the con-
centration Of human blood.
The discovery. 1t is said. points TO
the possibility of the use Of radio
apparatus as a means of inducing
a high temperature in the blood of
patient suffering from a disease
whose bacilli cannot live in a high
blood temperature.
Sufferers from paresis. muscu-
lar paralysis, now are inoculated
with malaria germs in an effort to
produce a fever to kill the bac!lli. IL
the fever could be induced by radio
waves 1t probably would be con-
trolla bic and cause much less iucon-
venience 10 the patient in addition to
being safer.
Professor Richards would not
comment on the possible medical
uses of the results Of the investiga-
ton. but 1t is known that DR.. Rob-
ert V. Christie OF the Rockefeller
I Institute is now Investigating tho
biological phases Of the experiments.
