LONDON PROBE REPORTED.
Physician Quoted as Saying He Saved
Girl From Drug Overdose.

Physician Quoted as Saying He Saved
Girl From Drug Overdose.
LONDON, June 10 (4).-The puzzling
life and death of Starr Faithful, New
York girl, were the subject of exhaust
i've research and speculation today.
In the face of repeated denials by
officials, the Daily Sketch said Scot
land Yard had been introduced into
the mystery by New York police and
that it was conducting a search here
for certain friends of the girl. Two OF
them already had been interviewed. it
was said, and their statements might
be sent to America.
The investigation was said to be un-
der the direction of Detective Inspector
Baker, head of the narcotic squad,
and Divisional Inspector Hester.
An unnamed physician was quoted IN
an interview by the Daily Express as
saying he saved Miss Faithfulls life
on the same visit after she had taken
an overdose of a sedative drug.
Summoned hurriedly to her hotel, he
said, he found her lying unconscious
on the bed with an empty bottle of the
medicine standing nearby. After ne
had revived her, he said she told him
she had drunk considerable gin and
then swallowed "a tablets OF the
sedative, the maximum dose OF which
is four tablets.
When he asked her the reasons for
her act. he said she told him:
IT have nothing to live for. Some
body has let me down badly"
The Express quoted the woman man
ager of the hotel to the effect that
Miss FaithfulPs stepfather, Stanley E.
Faithful, sent her there and asked the
manager to keep an eye on her. He
sent checks to the hotel of which her
bills were paid and an allowance turned
over to her, the manager said.
Recent letters to an unidentified
friend announcing her intention to sail
for London on the Franconia on its
latest trip, and telling of her distaste
for America were published by the
Daily Mail.

GERMS WITH GERMS DESCRIBED

fact that they seem to multiply only
in association with a living animal or
plant cell
The existence Of these flterable
viruses has been known since 1899. In
the past few years, however, a general
attack upon them has been made in
laboratories in this country and in
Europe. These newer studies give prom
ise of obtaining reliable vaccination
methods against yellow fever, distemper
of dogs, and possibly against infantile
paralysis and other diseases in this
group.
Bacteriophage Destroys Bacteria.
peculiar agent, somewhat like
fllterable virus is an apparently self
perpetuating thing called bacteriophage
1t destroy bacteria. Some think that
this germ destroying agent comes from
the bacteria themselves others that it
is a virus which infectS bacteria and
produces a disease fatal to the suscep-
tible germs. In France, India and in
some places in this country. this BAG
teriophage has been used successfully
TO stop typhoid fever, cholera, boils and
several other infections. Not all ex-
perimenters have had equal success
with it.
tuberculosis is receiving a great deal
tive research by chemists. bacteriolo-
giSts, cytologists and physicians is un-
der way to attempt to find out how
the germ Of tuberculosis is made up
chemically. and what effects the sub
stances obtained from the germ have
upon animal bodies. The results should
give valuable new chemical knowledge
and show how to make a new attack
upon germs of disease. There is also
a great deal of interest in the new
method of vaccination against tubercu-
loSis used extensively in Europe.
The vaccine is a small amount of
living culture Of tubercle bacillus OBJ
tanned years ago from the disease in
cattle. This culture, known as B. c. G..
has apparently lost its ability to cause
tuberculosis. but is still able to give
some protection against this disease
when taken by mouth by children or
given by injection to adults. Opinion
is still divided over the questions as
to how safe and how beneficial it is.
In agriculture better ways are being
found to increase soil fertility by the
use Of the small microbes which make
useful compounds out of the nitrogen
from the air.
In the industries yeast and bacteria
are being employed more and more to
make alcohol, all sorts of useful SOL
vents, as well as acids and many other
products. A vitamin-like material.
capable Of preventing and curing ricketts,,
can be obtained from yeast exposed to
X-rays.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 13.-T. Arnold
Hill Of New York City told the National
Conference of Urban Leagues here that
Communism is obtaining a foothold
among Negroes in the United States as

telligent few" said Hill, the masses OF
white and black workers are on oppo
site sides of a battle line, which
stretches from New York down the At
Iantic seaboard to New Orleans and
across the country to Seattle and Los
Angeles.
Bitterness Crops Up.
Heretofore whites have been content
to allow uninviting tasks to be done by
Negroes, but today any job is acceptable
to whites. Frequently, the removal OF
by the introduction of white workers.
This, naturally, is resented by Negroes,
with the result that bitterness is crop

lnterracial groups have another point
of irritation and another instance CT
injustice to challenge their interest and
sincerity.
"As a result of heavy losses sustained
during the present unemployment crisis,
the Negro is resorting to Communism.
Whether we like the thought OF it or
not-whether We think it advisable to
suppress the fact of it or not-the
Negro is relying upon Communism or
something else different that might give
him, even though in a distant future,
an opportunity to compete for work on
an equal basis with others.

"Our efforts in the field have been as
a rope of sand; they have been oppor-

Jesse o. Thomas Of Atlanta. Ga, also
a field director of the National Urban

field of race relations consisting of three

the white world and three different
classes of people.
