MIRACLE CURES
DISCUSSED

CHICAGO, Dec. 40 dN.S0 -
Those who would toss away their
crutches In the spiritual ecstacy
Of so-called miraculous cure had
better remember where they
threw them, is the practical adj
vice Of DR.. Charles 81. Mayo,
director Of the famous Mayo
clinic at Rochester. MINI.
At the best. according to DR..
Mayo, these miracle" cures are
only temporary and the disabJli-
ties and ntaladies return as soon
as the emotional fervor has sub
sided. leaving the patient as be-
fore.
StiI with Us
s'The age Of miracles and sup
erstition is still with u.s." DR..
Mayo declared ct q recent health
address Rere. ~In Massachusetts,
thousands Of persons have daily
visited the grave Of q young
ecclesiastic who died sixty years
ago. seeking q cure for all sorts
Of Ills.
Many have been hurt In the
mob. They have broken the grave
stone so that it has been taken
away and q new cement slab
erected IN its place. Those who
visit the grave believe that it is
Just as effective for the cure Of
one disease as for another"
Good for , Time
There win always be some
apparent cures of this type, &C.
cording to DR.. Mayo. Because,
he explained, many persons hav-
ing uncontrolled emotions only
Imagine they are sick.
They throw away their
crutches or canes or smoked
glasses. While they are objects
Of wonder they will remain bet
ter, but when they have to go
to work again their disabilities
viii return"

SON FINDS SIRE.
A SUICIDE

CHICAGO. Dec. 20. Sixty-one
and retired, Frank Smith was
through with life. But there were
his wife and his 22.year-old son,
Frank, jr.. to be considered. He
wanted the news broken gently to
them.
The other night he wrote q
note. When he was found dead,
it directed. an elder son. M. T.
Smith, should be notified. Only
the elder son sohuld bear the
news to Frank jr. The two Of
them should tell Mrs. Smith.
The note finished, the elder
Smith departed from his home at
No. 245 Langley Avenue. Life,
after all, held little for q once
active salesman, who wrote IRE
tired" after his name.
Half an hour later passersby
on the busy corner Of Cottage
Grove Avenue and Eighty-third
street heard q shot. A rather
elderly man had learned against
q police patrol box and fired q
bullet through his brain, dying In
Stantly.
Presently the scores who sur
rounded the body found q youth
jostling his way through to see
what had happened. He reached
the front ranks.
There he fell. pleading for the
fallen gun to end his own life.
It was Frank, jr., wandering
past. He has discovered the trag.
edy that his father had taken
such pains to insure would be re-
vealed to him only by the words
Of his elder brother.

MAKES
BERLIN LOAN

BERLIN, DEC. 2O.-Prevented
by the refusal Of Dillon, Read
" Co.. Of New York. from
borrowing money abroad to meet
its December obligations. the
German government today re
ceived the approval Of DR.. HAL
mar schacht, president Of the
Reichsbank, to float q domestic
loan Of $1OO,0O0.00O..
The agreement with Schacht
was reached at a session at which
members Of the cabinet Of Chan
cellor Mueller and party leaders
were present. Schacht agreed to
guarantee q 100000, 900 domes-
tic loan which will be covered
by budget savings and tax in,
creases totalling $1l2,5O0. 900, 1t
is stated.
The action Of Schacht in
guaranteeing the loan and thus
providing a German bankers
consortillm with the business OF
the loan, instead Of permitting
foreign borrowing, Is taken as
diScounting the rumored resigna-
ton Of Finance Minister Hilferd.
Ing, with whom Schacht was at
odds over the financial program
Of the Reich earlier In the week.
It Is understood In Berlin that
s. Parker Gilbert, agent general
under the Dawes plan for rep
arations. protested the Amer
ican loan, and that the French
government also protested off
cially, claiming that Germany Is
borrowing too much abroad In
view Of reparations obligations.
