 So far as the spectacular goes, the fans have been on more or less Of diet this season. But those who like their food literally spiced ex- pect to find their appetites appeased when Lloyd Hahn.

 Regardless of the outcome, one fact seems definitely established that the indoor record for the mile of four minutes, twelve seconds, will be seriously threatened. Hahn's whole campaign this year has been designed to peak" him for an at tempt tonight to shatter the record held jointly by Joie Ray and Paavo Nurmi.
 The international mile heads the list of eight special events. Wide interest has developed in the two- mile handicap run in which Ray makes his first serious attempt at q come e-back after a three-year vaca- tion from the boards.

REMOVING TERROR

Carville, La, Sept. 2s.-Science is
taking the terror out Of one OF the
worlds most dreaded diseases.
Regarded since the dawn OF his
tory a a living death, leprosy ap-
parently is being brought within
the list of durable maladies, and
the leper is being given firm ground
for hope.
"Unclean!" the cry of fear, hor-
ror and revulsion has come down
the centuries. The fear has always
been exaggerated to a greater or
less degree, but has been none-the-
less real in the minds of victims and
those about them.
Within the last few weeks. eight
patients have been released on pro-
baton from the National Leprosa-
rum here, sent back to their homes

established by the United States

Many Of the ARCHAEOLOGICAL,
chemical, pathological and clinical
studies which have contributed to
the advances made in treatment of
the disease in recent years have
been conducted by health service
workers in Hawaii. Their principal
achievement has been the develop
ment OF chemical derivatives from
chaulmoogra oil. obtained from an
oriental tree, which have increased
its effectiveness in combating the
leprosy germ. The treatment was
rather painful. however. until the
specialists here developed a method
of administering the injections with
a local anesthetic.
The scientific studies also have
established that the disease is COM
municated only by direct and usual
~ prolonged contact with victim.
Casual contact, the investigators
found. is not SO dangerous as it has
been regarded, and they suspect
that nasal secretions probably have
most to do with transmission of the
germs.
These germs, in form and ap-
pearance, are extremely difficult to
distinguish from those OF tubercu-
losis, another plague which has be-
set mankind-and to a much great
er extent-as far back as history
goes and has begun to yield to the
advances of science only in recent
years. The resources of a skilled
bacteriologist are required to iden'
