new secret deadly poison, a product
Of "a certain bacillus" SO powerful

death to million people," was
visioned recently by Prof. Leonard
Hill, great British scientist. Profess

address before the Sanitary Jnspee-

clined to disclose the name Of. this
new ath-dealing monster. 10
II would call your attention to GER
tain bacillus, which shall be nameless,

said. "If man is susceptible as guinea

bacillus 1t appears that one gram or
a salt spoonful of dry toxin would
kill million people. The toxin acts,

The professor then pointed to the
moral: IF men set out to prepare
such toxin and scatter 1t by alrplane
what would be the use Of the panoply

Chinese Women Grow
Ashamed of Bound Feet

Peking.-For the first time in Chi.
mas long history, Chinese women with
bound feet are becoming ashamed Of
them. Lilly feet" always regarded
as indispensable to beauty, are be.
coming disgrace.
A foreigner who has recently tray
eled in Honan province reports that a
number Of Chinese women whose feet
are deformed by binding are using
large shoes to cover them up.
The usual tiny shoe is used, and
over this considerably larger one is
placed, to give the impression that the
feet are not bound.
But their walk always gives them
away, the traveller states, because
bound feet prevent women from walk
ing naturally.

DASHES ACROSS SEA
TO BE U. S. CITIZEN
Defeat in Race Meant Youth
Would Be Swiss.

New York.-George A. Madigan, in
his first day on the soil of what Of
fcially is his native country, was
somewhat f1isillusioned with the
American citizenship he had raced
across the Atlantic to retain.
Madigan, a shy, blond youth, is
an American who never had seen the
land he calls his own before. And If
he had arrived here two days later,
according to the citizenship laws, he
would have been Swiss.
He was born in Locarno, Switzer-
land, of American parents. Both his
father and mother, he explained, were
circus artists. They met in Stock
holm, teamed up in bareback rid
ing net, and were married. After
Georges birth they continued to tour
through Europe with various circuses
until the war left them stranded in
village near Brussels.
His Father Dies.
When the United States entered
the war the Madigan family was
thrown into German lnternment
camp. Georges father died there. Hc
was, George declared, one Of the best
fancy riders In the world.
With the restoration of peace
George and his mother were released
and drlfted to Paris. George became
goldsmith's apprentice. When he
had learned the trade he decided
America offered him a brighter fu-
ture than Europe.
He visited the American ambassa-
doris office in Paris, where he was
Informed thrt unless he got here be-
fore he was twenty-one he would
lose his citizenship.
His birthday was fast approaching,
and although he had little money laid
by George told his mother he was
going to America as quickly as he
could.

BOWINC To COP
IS COSTLY

George NJ. Little, of the liquor SQUAD
on the other, proved costly for Wal
ter early today.
Sergeant Little and members OF
his squad were motoring in the vi
cinity of New Hampshire Avenue
and Shepherd Street Northwest,
when they noticed Walter also was
taking the early morning air in his
motor car. Sergeant Little's men
stopped Walter and protracted
conversation followed, painful in the
extreme for Walter.
At the end of the conversation
Walter found himself facing the fol
lowing charges: Having no registra-
ton card for his automobile, failure
to change the address on his driver s
permit when he moved his domtc1le,
and transportation and possession
of liquor, the latter charge growing
out of the discovery of four pints of
alleged liquid refreshments in the
machine.
A trip to Walters home, in the
800 block of Roci Creek Church Rd.
N. W., disclosed, according to Ser
geant Little, Sc quarts of alcohol,
54k quarts of alleged corn liquor,
and 30h quarts of so-called gin. In
addition, Sergeant Little alleges, nu-
merous labels and corks were found.

tug, which steamed at full speed
placed in a motor car and taken
to the Fifth avenue Hospital.
She was operated on Immediately,
and Manville said today she was
progressing favorably and would
probably be out of the hospital
within ten days. The operation
was deferred due to heavy weather
at sea, in spite of the fact that
whole delegation of Swedish and
Finnish doctors and nurses were
aboard the Kungsholm, journeying
to this country to attend medical
conferences.
Miss Manville's marriage last
winter to Count Bernadotte, cousin
Of the Swedish king, was the out
