docs Strengthened me out, I
guess, but I've gotta 60 on q
diatetic CT diet for awhile"
It's Merely GOut
BY cross-examination and pump
ing, it may be disclosed to this
friend that the ailing one really
had that old standby, the gout,
a little rheumatism, sugar in the
blood, varicose veins. and a gen.
eral nervous breakdown. maybe.
Some diets are already listed
by numbers in hospitals, but this
new scheme is to use figures for
diseases, too, so that hospital
records may be standardized and
compilation Of statistics on
diseases will be made easier by
the proposed Technology. In
certain diets, for instance, little
figure like or 9 makes a
big difference in what you get
to eat.
One Capital resident, just out
of hospital, reveals that when
he was promoted from a CT to
a CO diet he got whole banana
and two thin slices Of bread,
with q few other odds and ends,
whereas formerly he had just a
half of banana and one slice
Of bread.
Look for Standard
There's to be another confer
ence on the new disease terml-
nology to be held in New York.
December Il, and cooperating
officials of the U. S. Public
Health Service and various medi-
cal societies will attend. Mean
while a technical publication dis
closes the plan, thus:
"The proposed standard Sys-
tenn of nomenclature will be
based upon q numerical deSig-
nation consisting of six digits.
The plan Is combination of
two systems. First, dividing the
body into II anatomical divi.
SiOnS and the division Of
disease into IL Geological cata-
gOrieS.
"FOr example, the numerical
designation of appendicitis under
this system would be 661.1OO,
which indicates the disease is
located in the digestive tract,
and its cause an infection,
whereas acute appendicitis, with
an abScess, would be indicated
as 661-1X2."
It's explained that hospital au-
thoritieS, in making up their
records, will summarize diseases
under the numerical designation
rather than under the written
name" although the physician
may still use the old familiar
stuff in his own record.
Anyway, possibly, the old-time
family doctor will still insist on
telling a fellow what's the matter
with him. Otherwise, it'll be
tough to be suffering with some.

dry the birds feathers after it's
daily bath, was believed here to

Dmpened by a bath, just pre-

Information Withheld

Inspector Harold r. King, who
had charge of the interrogation,
announced that the members of
the Faithful family were ques7
toned as to STAIRS companions
during her last few days alive and
said:
II don't believe they knew
who was with her."
Other sources revealed that
Harry GoldStein, a prisoner in the
Tombs. has given Nassau county
authorities much more important
information Of the mystery than
has been made public.
At first GoldStein was supposed
to have said he saw Starr and an
elderly man together in Manhat-
tan on the Friday Afternoon of her
disappearance.
But now it has developed that
his actual story was that he saw
the girl and two younger men at
Fifth Avenue and Eleventh Street
that afters1On and on the follow
inS Sunday he saw the same two
men at Long Beach.
Claims He Knew Them
They were alone at that time
and Goldstein claims he knew
them because previously he had
driven them about europe with
Starr.
The names of these men had
been given to District Attorney
Elvin N. Edwards and it appears
that the prolonged grilling of the
Faithfuls was directed in hopes
that they might throw some light
on them.

FOREIGN BUSINESS
SITUATION BETTER
Commerce Department Re-
ceives Good Reports From
Europe and South America.

Encouraging trade reports from Eu-
rope, the Far East and South America
were received today by the Commerce
Department.
General business conditions in Can
ada are reported to be fairly good, with
an appreciable pickup in wholesale and
retail trade, the department was ad-
vised.
Seasonal improvement has been
noted in the German business situa-
ton, with exports strong, according to
a cable sent by the departments repre-
sentative at Berlin. Imports, however,
registered considerable decline, the cable
stated.
Hollands Trade Quiet.
The department said trade and in
duStry in the Netherlands remain at
low levels, although some improvement
is noted in certain commodity markets,
especially grain.
From Antwerp a cable stated there
has been slight improvement in Bel
gian industry, and strong national
finances are inspiring confidence. Sea-
sonal improvement has been noted in
Swedish industry, such as iron and
steel, pulp, paper and foodstuffs.
A Paris cable said unemployment has
been increasing in France.
Jumping from Europe to South
America, the report on favorable and
unfavorable factors in the weeks de-
velopment said the general outlook in
Argentina has continued TO improve,
chiefly due to the increasing cereal
prices Slightly firmer coffee prices
have been noted in Brazil.
Australia is the OILY bright spot on
the business horizon in the Oceania
and Far East sections of the world
Slight improvement has been noted
there in merchandise turnover and In
the wool market.
Far East Conditions.
Summarizing the situation in Man
churia, Japan and China, the cabled
reports from that section said
THE Chinese situation continues un-
settled, and boycott activities are in
creasing in Japanese controlled indus.
tries. However, general trading In
South China continues fairly brisk
Due chiefly to unfavorable conditions ir
Far Eastern markets, Japan's foreign
trade declined in october to the Lowest
level Of the year"
From Shanghai report reached the
department that Chinese industries
especially the cotton mills, are working
at full capacity.
Assistant Commercial Attache A
Bland Calder noted some apprehension
in Shanghai however, that the Jana
nese-owned mills may be forced to close
thereby throwing $4,000 Chinese work
ers out of employment.
The warehouses Of the Japanese mills
Calder added, are reported to be over
stocked with finished goods, and owinI
to the present boycott of Japanes
products by the Chinese the expor
trade Is virtually the only outlet TO
the disposal of the Japanese mills pro
duction.
