Some times there is pang of regret when wave from the dock but later reflection not to feel sorry for ourselves but for them.
 They have worked hard all summer saved their Alaska money and go forth to spread their largeness in the marts and pitfalls of Seattle San Francisco Los An gees or New York Some of them say they will head in at Vancouver where you get real Scotch blown in the bote They dream of the golden poppies of California, or the hills that look down Avalon.
 Then there comes the awakening. We might sing that sad refrain, Ut Won't Be Long Now" but don't wish to chortle in glee the misfortunes of our neighbors. Soon they will be broke badly bent and the pavements will hurt their feet and they will wire back for the price of ticket ferventy declaring that they cant stand it another day One of the best things about Alaska is the fact that they will get the price with out hesitation because want them back and feel sorry for them

SCIENCE SEEKS
CHECK FOR
LEPROSY

SAN FRANCISCO. May 9.-The
dread spectacle Of islands of liv'
ing dead OH which lepers live their
lives in exile may be banished If
the tentative findings OF DR.. E. l..
| Walker, professor OF tropical med
icine in the University OF Cali
fornia Medical School prove true.
Returning from fourteen months
stay in Honolulu where he carried
| on Investigations OF the cause OF
leprosy, DR.. Walker stated that his
research indicated the disease may
not be contagious and that it may
not be necessary to isolate victims
If further work asubstantiates his
| theories.
Scientists have suspected for
some time, that bacteria called 'ac-
tinomyces' might be involved in
leprosy," DR.. Walker stated today.
| ''but it has been difficult to ob.
tain laboratory evidence of the
theory.
Cannot Use Animals
''This is because the bacteria ap-
pear in a different form when cui-
tIred in laboratory. And it is
impossible to produce exactly the
same environment as is found in
ut is impossible to use animals
for experimentation for only man
is susceptible to the disease"
DR.. walker examined hundreds
of lepers at Kalihi Hospital, Homo
lulu, a receiving station for those
destined for incarceration at Mol
okaf leper colony.
I'm these examinations L found
that the bacteria 'actinomyceS' all
ways appeared in leprous tissue.
The bacteria is classified as a plant
fungus and is a soil-growing organ.
ISM like that causing tetanus or
lockjaw. Working on this assump-
ton discovered that the bacteria
is present in the soil practically
everywhere in Hawaii.
In Barefoot Nations
What more natural to assume
then, since leprosy quite frequently
appears around the feet or legs,
that it might easily be picked up
in cuts or wounds. 1t is well known
that leprosy is most prevalent in
countries where natives run bare.
foot. The disease. though entering
the feet, may not first break out
there. It may enter the body,
spread through glands and break
out simultaneously in several places
after a lengthy incubation period.
ut must be emphasized, however,
that all this is tentative and must
wait further corroboration."
The districts in which 1eprosy is
most common are well known. In
East Belgian Congo, 200 out of
1000 person have it. On the ivory |
coast Of Africa so out of 1000 have
it. By investigating in these places |
with the soil origin of infection in
mind, by adoption of shoes and full |
disinfection of wounds, positive evil |

may be obtained, DIR. Walker said. !

BY international News Service

Nv International News Service
LONDON, May 8. - Manned by
four Dutchmen. the 4O-foot hteboat
Schuttevaer is now on her way
across the Atlantic Ocean bound for
New York.
She left London March 10. with
the intention of calling at the Azores
en- route. The journey, which is
being made entirely by sail, is ex-
pected to last 40 to so days, and,
providing all goes well, the vessel
should make New York Harbor
about the beginning Of May.
The Schuttevaer, which is claimed
to be unsuitable, is built Of oak, but
is remarkably bouyant. A large keel.
ballasted with water, is responsible
for bouyancy, and is designed to pre-"
vent the vessel from capsizing even
in the toughest seas.
Her crew are J. p. Schuttevaer,
the 6S-year-old inventor of the boat;
G.. G. Schmidt, her captain: G..
Kruithoff, first mate. and Theo.
Gelisson, second mate.
"The time our voyage takes will
depend entirely upon the weather, ="
Schuttevaer told International News
Service before he left London. "Per-
haps it will be 40, perhaps SO to go
days. We have enough provisions
for two months.
"The problem of how the four of
US will manage in this tiny space for
SO long is worrying us more than
anything else. We have had to dis
card our radio set because it took UP
too much ROOM"
