With three persons already dead
and five others i'll, all believed
victims of the dread psittacosis,
commonly known as parrot fever,
Pittsburgh physicians and DR..
Charles Mats, director Of health,
collaborated today in an inveSti-
CATION Of the deaths.

Hospital physicians who had
diagnosed Mrs. Weigand's illness
as pneumonia expressed surprise
over the psittacosis theory, but
planned an investigation of the
case histories of the victims.
Proper diagnosis of pSittacoSis
is difficult, physicians said, be-
cause Of the marked similarity in
the SYMPTOMS of pneumonia, ty,
phoid fever, and "parrot fever"

PARTY
MAKES GAIN

BERLIN, May 4 Q.N.S). "A
new wave of power for Adolf Hit
ler's National Socialist Fascist)
party was seen today as returns
from the provincial elections in
Schaumburg-Lippe gave the Nazis
a 40 per cent greater representa-
ton than that achieved in the
Reichstag elections of last Sep
tember, when the Fascists swept
the country.
The Communists gained so per
cent and the NatiOnalistS 20 per
cent, while all other parties lost
heavily.
Undiminished unemployment,
skyrocketing deficits in national,
state and municipal budgets, in
creasing bread prices and higher
taxes are held responsible for
this apparent rehabilitation Of
the masses.

to her, she said, when they were
married.
But, your honor, the $500 wasn't
given to her. argued Philip, it was
for both Of us. You see, it was this
way:
II had the $500, all right, but
told her instead of giving it to her,
I'd spend it On wedding party.
First, bought 1900 buns for sand
witches and we had ninety-eight

and we had lot of friends" ex-
planned Phillip.
Go ahead, said Judge Sullivan,
dazedly.
Well" continued Philip, 1--WE had
100 pounds of peanuts
His honor's eyes bulged somewhat
further from his rubicund counten-
ance.
"And $50 dill pickles and a barrel
Of beer" concluded Philip triumph
antly.
His honor's high blood pressure
now had about reached the boil
ing point and court attaches were
beginning to feel sympathetic pains
Of indigestion.
And" said Philip, "there were
as many Of her friends there as
mine and she at as much as I did
even If did maybe drink more of
the beer"
Still blinking, Judge Sullivan
agreed Philip needen't repay the
$500, but should pay IS week temp

COAL MERGER URGED
Reorganization Necessary,
Says Senator Davis.
BIZ IInited Preaa

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July IA plan
for rehabilitation of the soft coal
industry through consolidation Of
weak companies into the hands of a
few strong concerns, is being for
mulated by Senator Jim Davis
Rep., Pa, former secretary Of
labor under Presidents Harding,
Coolidge and Hoover.
Through mergers, Davis believes,
the bituminous coal industry could
put itself on firm basis like the
steel industry. He recalls that
thirty years ago, the steel trade was
suffering from difficulties like those
that now beset coal, and for much
the same reasons.
Wage cutting, unemployment,
strikes, low earnings and other
troubles Of the coal industry, Davis
says, are traceable directly to cut
throat competition. Consultations
designed to remedy these ills would
not be held illegal under the anti
trust laws, he believes.
