SCIENTISTS IN
MASS ATTACK
UPON LEpROSY
Germs viii Be Grown to
Reveal 3seysts of
Dread Malay.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.-A mass
attack on one of the oldest and most
feared diseases Of mankind, leprosy,
IS being made by science.
Thousands upon thousands of
leprosy germs are to be grown in
order that chemists and physicians
may learn the most intimate secrets
of this disease.
Scientific veterans of another
battle, the offen5e against tuber-
culosis, have been called to do
battle.
The medical research committee
Of the National tuberculosis As
ISOLATION. headed by Dr.. William
Charles White Of the National In
stitute Of Health Of the United
States public health service, at the
request Of the Leonard Wood. Me-
mortal, has undertaken an in
vestigation Of 1eprosy as an extern
sion Of ito tuberculosis research.
Reports Encouraging
Germs that cause tuberculosis and
germs that cause leprosy are mem
hers Of the same family.
Pepra bacilli, as the germs of lep-
rosy are called, actually grow in the
same cells of the human body, the
monocytes, as the more common
tubercle bacilli
Encouraging reports come from
leprasaria in this country and
abroad and lepers often are dis
charged as apparently cured. The
value Of chaulmoogra oil has been
praised and its substance has been
credited with curative powers. But
specialists are not convinced that it
lives up to its reputation.
Therefore this new attack. The
nfteen to twenty strains of lepra
bacilli that have been cultivated
from human cases will be grown in
quantity.
New Weapon Sought
The masses of germs will be taken
to the Sterling chemical laboratory
at Yale university where Professor
Treat B. Johnson and his associates
will analyze them just as they
picked tubercle bacilli to chemical
pieces with startling results.
BY breaking up the lepra bacilli
into their chemical parts some of
its peculiarities will be discovered.
Then eventually new weapons
against leprosy will be developed
Just as it is hoped that new treat
ments for tuberculosis will arise
from the similar experimental
work now in progress.

RODEO TO

Contest VIII Draw Stars
As IL Closes Season
Now Scheduled

Especial TO The Herald
HARLINGEN, Aug. 22.-Likeli-
hood OF the Valley Mid Winter Fair
becoming the setting for one Of
Americas four greatest rodeos be-
came more Of an actuality this
week when q tentative agreement
was reached by telephone between
Col. w. T. Johnston, noted rodeo
producer, and John I. Floore,
manager of the Fair.
AS q result OF the conversation
Johnston is expected to make q
second visit to the Valley In q few
days to confer with Floore and
Mayor Sam Bolts. president Of the
Fair, for the purpose OF completing
the agreement II all minor details
can be worked out.
Johnston, who has staged the
annual Madison Square Garden
rodeo at New York and 1T the
Texas State Fair at Dallas for sew
eral years, proposes TO make Of the
proposed rodeo here an equal OF
those at Madison Square. Pendleton
and Cheyenne. He would spend a
minimum Of $4,000 on the attrac-
ton.
Most Of this money would go as
premiums. That and the facts that
his other shows draw the greatest
of rodeo performers and the VAL
ley meeting would be the last OF the
season make IL certain that the
contests would draw all the great
stars. In Johnston's belief.
"As q native son Of Texas, my
one ambition is TO build up some
where in Texas the worlds great
est rodeo," Johnston said. 1T might
be that the Valley isn't the place
for it-but I believe 1t is. Youl
slimate Is such that the rodeo san
be staged at a time that no other
section can compete with II; too
each year increasing thousands OF
tourists win come to the Valley
and in them will be hundreds Of
rodeo fans who attend the Pendle-
ton and Cheyenne shows

Don't miss Williamsburg!
One writer says: zone is prone to dream
at the whispered word Of Williamsburg, for
it belongs to the picturesque Virginia of long
ago. Rambling along shady streets and through
the grounds of century-old houses, the entire
town resembles q continuous old-fashioned
garden in the Springtime.
A quiet walk through the little town gives
one the idea of woven webs Of historical places
and a real patriotic thrill. For here are the
tonbs Of those who risked their lives to build
q nation. Here are old churches and court
houses Here too, IS william and Mary COL

The ineffably lovely house Of WeStover, the

Nowhere IN America Is there q finer example
Of the ironmaster'S art than in the lovely gate

GUNSTON HALL, on the Potomac was built
by George Mason, IN 1855, and one may
look through two rows Of English box from
the portico, overlooking wide stretches Of
meadow. A leading authority in this country
estimates the beautiful box at Gunston Hail
20 be about 40 years older than the box at
Mount Vernon, and it is said that slips from
Gunston Hall were often sent there, as we
learn from Washington's diary, in which he
acknowledged flowers and fruit from his friend
George Mason.
From the crest of high HILL bordered by q
wide walk, an ivy-and-wistaria- covered tea
house and pergola overlook the Potomac River

imagine Washington's SCARED barge sweeping

coming in favorite fashion to visit Col. Mason,
Tor In those days Gunston Hall was the place
Of gathering for all the noted men of its day.
Journeying to Fredericksburg, whose
legend goes back to 1871, we find that here the
first Christian shrine in America was erected
by Spanish missionaries.
Here Is Kenmore, the home of Betty WASH

was Washington's only sister, and here the
FIRST pilgrimage to old historic gardens was
made last year for the restoration of its
grounds. The Garden Club of Virginia, which
sponsored the invitation to the public was
amply rewarded with its results. Wakefield,
where Washington was born, is also in this
locality, and open at this time.
The old Town of Falmouth which the average
tourist never hears Of until he crosses its border

The plea Of the Z. v. Brown School
for retention Of its matron, whose salary
Is paid by the parents themselves, was
continued In yesterdays meeting when
Pyke johnson, president of the Chevy
Chase Home and School Association,
urged reconsideration Of the question OF
legality in connection with the wofnans
employment. Mr.. Johnson suggested
that II the law forbids the District 70
accept services without pay, as the
School Board previously had intimated
it would be doing by permitting the
matrons to remain in the schools, they
be hired at 81 year.
DIR. Carusi explained that even an
annual salary Of 81 would not be APP
proved by the District auditor: since
there Is no legislative authority Tor tne
payment of that salary out OF any
public funds. The board, however, ex-
pressed itself as in entire sympathy
with the parents who wanted matronS
in their school buildings.
Mr.. johnson announced today that
