Wichita, Kas.. April '1s.-tP)- Lead poisoning is believed by two Wichita chemists to be responsible for the widespread epidemic of Jake paralysis" or "the jerks" here, which public health officials say has made charitable assistance for about 100 victims necessary.
 The chemists, Curtis Anderson and Earl Snyder last night asserted they found considerable lead in a sample of Jamaica ginger from which a 40-year-old paralysis victim admitted drinking. Others of the af- flicted persons are thought to have drunk the fiery intoxicant.
 Fifteen penniless victims of the malady are being cared for at the county poor farm. Others are receiv- ing aid at their homes.
 Faith of Wichita cripples in the medicinal value of the odoriferous sticky contents of petroleum re- finery slush ponds is waning. Only a few victims appeared yesterday to bathe their afflicted limbs in the slime. A pilgrimage to the slush ponds began with the spread of a report that the fluid would aid in a cure. Authorities scoff at the belief.

HEARST SPEECH
INTEREST

With sentiment both in and
out of Congress unquestionably
turning toward modification OF
the prohibition laws, and a sub
stitute plan to promote real tenn
perance. it was generally believed
here today that the radio address
last night of William Randolph
Hearst is to have far-flung effect.
Heard by Millions
Mr.. Hearst was heard by mil.
lions in this country and abroad,
short wave lengths carrying his
plea across the seas. His subject
was "a Temperance Plan To
Supplant Prohibition. At the
outset the publisher said that for
40 years he had espoused tenn
perance. He said he had no
sympathy with the extreme vets.
and little sympathy with the
unreasonable dryS.
Indicative of Congressional in.
CereSC was the comment OF Sena'
tor Thad A. Caraway of Arkansas
an ardent dry.
He said:
president HOOver's unwil-
lingnesS or inability to enforce
a prohibition law has greatly
discouraged many sincere be-
levers in prohibition. and there
will be q determined effort to
find a common sense solution
of this question. Personally l
think prohibition has come to
stay.
"Any thoughtful discussion of
the present situation, such as
Mr.. Hearst has made, therefore
will be helpful"

Congress will in one way or an
other take up the prohibition
problem, even though the dry'
