Flettner, inventor Of the rotor

~ has applied the same principles
to large automotive vehicle,
the first model of which has been con-
structed under his direction at the
vided into two parts. the first contain
ing modification of his rotary motor
and the second the compartments for
passengers and freight. The Krupp
firm soon will begin production on a
definite schedule. It's advantages in
speed and mobility are easily recognized.
flexible chassis, instead Of rigid one,
will make the car much easter to han
die and guide in traffic and, 1t is be-

principles Of the rotor ship, with blades
and tunnels operating automatically in
the development and application of
power, will be used on this new land

Hungary viii Not
HarbOr Criminal Refugees.
Berliner Tageblatt.-In recent years
the police systems Of the world have
been virtually welded into an interna-
tionally functioning organization. Grim
1nalS no longer escape by fleeing from
the land of their miSdeeds. Hungary
Is one of the latest nations asserting to
procedures for the safety and protec-
ton of decent people everywhere, and
offenders from other regions no longer
VIII find a refuge there and, of course,
the benefits are reciprocal. Two MUIR
derers from Budapest were arrested in
Lubbock and will be returned to Hun
gary. 1t is becoming increasingly DIM
cult for evildoers to escape the conse-
quences OF their acts due to the effi-
cheney Of the international police radio

NEGOTIATIONS Urged
To Curb Diphtheria in Ireland.
Irish Independent, Dublin.-A few
years ago the Irish Independent called
attention to the emphatic pronounce
ment by Sir George Newman that mo
local authority responsible for the
health OF children should be satisfied
that 1T has done it's duty until every
paEent knows that his child can be In
oculated against diphtheria with safety
and with reasonable certainty Of com
plete protection" DR.. j. G. Saunders,
medical officer OF health, in his report
to the Cork Corporation gives illumi-
mating figures to support this opinion.
While the incidence Of diphtheria
among children who had not been i'm
munized was, in recent period, 1916
per 1000, 1t was only 81 per 1000
among those who had been irnmunized.
ana even in some cases the figures that
make up the 81 per 1000 are open to
doubt. Last year SO children died from
olphtheria in Cork; not one of this
number had ever been even partially
lmmunlzed. As result, to some extent,
OF the campaign conducted by the Irish
Independent the immunization method
mas recently been adopted In Dublin.
Much more intensive efforts than have
been observed by the public up TO the
present are, however, needed to educate
parents. The civic authorities should. bv

plain briefly the advantages of i'm
muniZation and indicate precisely where
and at what charge the treatment is to
be had. The outlay incurred would be
