Found by Policeman.

Having forgotten the right turn
home, but still remembering their
mothers warning not to speak to
strangers, the small daughters of Prof.

lish department at Georgetown Uni
versity, wandered hand in hand for
eight hours yesterday before police
man stopped them at Fourteenth and

Rose Marie, II years old, and her
little sister, Christine, just 2, left their
home at 32l4 Wisconsin avenue for
what was TO have been Just little
walk before lunch. They took the
wrong turn, however, and presently
found themselves on a strange street.
Rose Marie, although she was older,
was much too shy to inquire directions
of any of the strangers who hurried
by as the two children walked along
looking for their home.

SOCIETY PROTESTS
COLLEGE OUST|NG
Removal of Professor by
Ohio University Scored
by Educators.

The American Sociological Society at
its closing meeting today expressed Wig
orous disapproval Of the action of Ohio
State University in refusing reappoint-
ment this year to DR.. H. A. Miller, as
Soclate professor of sociology, because of
alleged radical utterances.
Dr. Miller, nominated from the floor
by Dr. Jerome Davis OF Yale Univer-
Sity after the Nominating Committee
mad reported, was elected member of
the Executive Committee of the So
ciety The other member elected was
Or. Stuart Rice of the University of
pennsylvania, who made an eloquent
speech defending Dr. Miller.
The society also went on record as
dlsapproving the action of the State
University and adopted a resolution
pralSlng the stand of DR.. j. c. Hagerty,
another Ohio State professor, for his
courageous stand for academic free
dom in opposing the ousting of his
former colleague.
The cause given for Miller's practical
dismissal, it was explained, was an ad-
dress made in India two Summers ago
on the activities of Mahatma Gandhi
which was judged violation of strict
neutrality. Actually, it was explained,
at least strong contributing cause was
the professors opposition to military
training at the State institution.
Miller read paper yesterday before
the society on recent social changes
In India, at the end of which he was
given. an ovation by the members, many
OF whom obviously considered him a
martyr to the cause of academic free
dom.
DR.. L. L. Bernard of Washington
University, st. Louis, was elected presi-
dent of the society and E. J. Galpin
OF the Department of Agriculture first
vice president.

NEW ORLEANS. December S1.-Cap-
ture of a germ believed to cause infan-
tile paralysis and discovery that the
human spleen may hold one key to
control of cancer were reported today
to the American Association for the
Advancement of Science.
John A. Abel of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity was elected president Of the
association. Syracuse, N. Y, was chosen
for the Summer meeting June 20-25,
and Atlantic City was selected for the
Winter meeting, December 26-Jan-
uary /. 49,.
Germs that cause all the typical
symptoms of tnfantile paralysis In
monkeys have been isolated and grown
in test tubes through many generations,
said DR.. Frederick Eberson of the Uni
versity of California Medical School.
He was assisted in his research by Will
liam @. Mossman.
The germs at one stage are SO small
they cannot be seen under microscope.
A single-file parade of 100000 of the
germs would be only inch long
Or. Eberson said he had fed the
germs on sheep brain and veal broth
until they grew large enough TO be seen
with a microscope. At this stage they
we're injected into monkeys and pro-
duced disease that he feels sure is
infanti1e paralysis.
I'm order to prove that the visible
germ or organism was possibly related
to the disease In question, 1t was neces-
sary to show that this germ was found
in poliomelitis (infantile paralysis) and
not in other diseases. This has been
demonstrated" Or. Eberson said.
''The typical disease as 1t Is recog-
nized and known was successfully pro-
duced in fairly large series Of monkeys

DEMOCRATS SPEED
ACTION ON TAXES
Tariff Plans to Be Placed
Before Committee in
Few Days.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional Democrats are deter
mined to expedite legislative action on
tariff and tax measures.
Senate and House leaders expect to
bring up a tariff bill before the Joint
Policy Committee early next week.
Approval of the proposed measure by
chat group would virtually assure ex-
pedit$Is House action.
Questioned UouaJ Speaker Garner
said tariff legislation 'mignU possibly
come up for action before the tax bill
At the same time, tentative plans
Of the House Ways and Means Com
mitee to begin hearings on the tax
increase proposal probably next Thurs
day were ascertained.
Confer on Program.
At another conference in Garnere
Office early today, Representative Raj
ney of Illinois, the Democratic leader,
and Chairman Collier of the Ways and
Means Committee conferred with Mid
dleton Beeman, chief of the legislative
counsel, and L. H Parker, expert of the
Joint Congressional Committee on In
ternal Revenue Taxation.
Rainey although reticent, disclosed
that it is planned to bring up the tariff
bill for House action before the tax
program is completed by the Ways and
Means Committee. Although the ma
ture Of the measure has nv heen di-
vllged, it is understood it is somewhat
similar to an amendment proposed for
the Smoot- -Hawley BILL but which failed
of adoption.
The amendment would have author
lied the Tariff Commission to recon-
mend to Congress changes in the tariff
to meet duties of foreign countries. 1t
also would have given wider latitude
for making reciprocal tariff changes.
Information Gathered.
In discussing the tax proposals,
Garner said that, while the Treasury
experts on taxes would undoubtedly be
heard, the Democrats expected to form
ulate their own program without their
advice.
Garner said the purpose Of the con-
ferences that have been held during
the holidays was to gather informa-
ton" on the tax and tariff questions
before reaching a conclusion"
Collier is expected to sponsor the
tariff bill. 1t probably will be intro
duced early next week and the COM
mittee hopes to finish hearings before

GEN. HINES EXPLAINS
NEW APPROPRIATION
Tells Inquiring Veterans Fund of
$200,000,000 Is Not to Give
Additional Benefits.

Contradicting an erroneous belief
that has caused the veterans admins
tration to be beSieged with inquiries
from veterans all over the country, ask
ing for new benefits, Gen. Frank 7.
Hines, director Of veterans affairs, is
sued a formal statement explaining
that recent appropriation by Congress
of 10000 900, and $3,925,000 in two
different funds was only to supplement
appropriations previously made, and
cannot be used to give the veterans ad-
ditional payments in the way of loans
or otherwise.
No additional payments whatever
are. provided by these appropriations,
Gen. Hines said.
He explained that the 5000, 900, 900
is TO supplement the appropriations pre-
viously made for the adjusted service
certificate fund which had proven in
sufficient to provide adequate cash for
loans after the loan value of certificates
had been raised to SO per cent of the
face value. 1t is expected that this ad-
ditional appropriation will take care Of
the Governments obligation to the end
OF the fiscal year, June 80, 1882, for
loans and for the payment of certifi-
Gates which may mature on account Of
the death of veterans.
The additional S3,925,00O was re-
ouired to care for the large number Of
new claims which resulted from amend
ed legislation extending the time in
which claimants might apply for bene-
fits under the adjusted compensation
act.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS GERMS
CAPTURED, SCIENTIST BELIEVES
Tiny Organisms Injected Into Monkeys
Human Spleen May Reveal Key
to Cancer Control.

peated sequence by passage from one
animal to another"
Growth of cells in the human body
seems to be controlled by a chemical
substance, possibly hormone, secreted
in the spleen, it was reported by Donald
G. A. Butts, Thomas Z. Huff and Erwin
c Manz of the Emery Laboratory of
Cancer Research, Philadelphia. The
chemical is believed to be either So
dunn compound or one that can regu-
late the bodys use of sodium.
Cancer cells essentially are ordinary
cells that have gone hsywire," multi
plying much faster than normal. There
Is some reason to believe, the report
said, that cells go haywire" only when
the spleen secretion is shut off from
that part of the body leaving the
cells "unchaperoned," free to get out of
control. The shutting off might result
from a continued irritation such as
causes cancer.
Physical defects should always be
sought for in people with mental disor-
ders as possible cause of their all
ment, said DR.. M. l.. Townsend of
Washington, D. c.
He told of a dementia praecox case
that was cured by removal of an in
fected tooth and tonsils. Poisons from
these infected spots bad reached some
Of the fleshy parts of the brain. A
woman was cured of another kind of
insanity by healing of an abscesS in
her throat.
Another physical cause Of mental dis
ease is intracranial hemorrhage or
bleeding inside the skull; in born
babies, DR.. Leon S. Gordon of George

The bleeding results in pressure in
