Two little words, "and" and ''or", but what a battle they are likely to stage in the case of Chief Two Moon Meridas, charged on five counts of practising natureopathy without license.
 Attorney John H. Cassidy claims that the courts must interpret the statutes as they are recorded in print, but Prosecuting Attorney Emil Hummel maintains and quotes various rulings to substanti- ate his contention that the court Is privileged to make no distinction between the words and" and "or" and to accept the intent of the legislators in framing the law.
 For more than half an hour this morning Attorneys Cassidy and Hummel cited instances of law supporting their conflicting views. At the conclusion of the presenta- ton of data Judge T. V. Meyer denied Attorney Cassidy's motion took up consideration demurrer Chief Two Moon. A date for trial will be selected later at the convenience of opposing sides. Att torney Cassidy however, has until Saturday to submit his various authorities for his contentoin.
 The statue in dispute reads as follows:
 Section 2772-The practice of natureopathy shall mean the prac- tico of the psychological, mechan- ical and material sciences of heal ing as follows: The psychological sciences, such as psychotherapy; the mechanical sciences, such as mechanoptherapy, articular manip- ulation. corrective and orthopedic gymnastics, neuro-therapy, physi- atherapy and the material sciences such as dietetics, and external ap- plications;, but shall not mean in- ternai medication or the adminls- tering of any substance stimulating medicine or the form of medi. cine"
 Attorney Cassidy claims that tho law means the application of all the sciences as outlined in the fore going paragraph, but the state con- tends. that this is impossible as 1t would be attempting to write upon the books an absurdity for one per- son would be obliged 10 submit to such q combination of treatments.
 Much emphasis was placed on the conjunction "and" by Attorney Cassidy. The prosecuting attorney ins1nts that the word "and" may be interpreted in the sense as mean. ing Cor" and that 1t was the in- tent of the legislature to prevent persons without proper training an,t registration from prhctising such "arts of healing"
 'l'he courts attention was called 10 the fact that newspapers, maga- zines and the radio furnish daily instructions about diets and that a strict Interpretation of the law would prevent local physical di-

CHILDREN WHO ACTED LIKE SO
 MANY ANIMALS
Scientist Relates Many Cases But Advised That Parents Should Not Be Alarmed

Washington, May 1s.--(UP).-- Instances of children who acted like dogs and apparently wanted to be dogs were cited to-day by Dr. Ales Herdlicka of the Smithsonian In- stitution in Q report on animal be- havior in youngsters. s..
 He told of others who neighed like a horse or held their bottles with their toes-and of many who liked to eat mud. He assured fond
 parents they need not worry such manifesto tions in their offspring. He said children seem to speak and understand the Language Of lanimals' and mimic their gestures | in such detail that 1t Is difficult to believe their behavior Is purely initiative. He thinks perhaps the crawling child considers itself a lower animal rather than a hu- man being. This behavior he found

SURVIVORS OF
 BURNED VESSEL
 TELL OF HORRORS
Many Were Trapped in Their Cabins and Others Were Forced to Leap Into the Sea
BY A. F.. ADAMS United Press CorrcspOndcnD

Alden, Arabia, May 1S-(U. J.
 European, Indian, Fillppino. Arab, and Chinese survivors of the Liner
 Georges Phillipar, destroyed by fire in the Gulf of Alden, told to-day how flames trapped men and wo-
 men in their cabins and forced
 others to jump into the sea, killing
 approximately 100 victims. The survivors were landed here
 by the British steamers Contractor
 and Mahsud. They were all wear
 ing night clothing. They had lost everything else in the fire. The
 Mahsud picked up 134 and the Con- tractor 129. There were 420 more
 known rescued, en route to Djib-
 outi. Africa.
 Some of the women rescued had borrowed mems clothing from the
 crews of the rescue ships. Many children wore only a mans coat or some other garment they could borrow. Fortunately the sea was
 calm when they left the Georges Phillipar.
 Many of the survivors suffered burns received when they fled over the blazing decks of the liner, re- turning from her maiden voyage to Indo- China. a great, shining ship of 17,O00 tones built especially for the
 comfort of passengers travelling In the tropics. As the tragic groups were land cd from the two vessels here. men and women hurried about the pier seeking news of members of their
 families who might have been pick
 ed up by other ships, or burned to
 death in the twisted. smoking mass. The survivors were housed at hotels here, at air force headquar-
 ters, and in private residences.
 They were given food and clothing. Madame Leon Valentin, pas- | senger who summoned officers and led to the discovery of the fire, told the United Press Correspondent the | fire started in deluxe cabin di- rectly beneath hers.

ct INDAl" Tom was calling up
- and she answered almost at
his elbow.
"Here-sorry!"
Introductions we're over quickly
but she needed no explanation as to
which man was which. At her
right, a tall, beautifully erect, slen-
der, yet powerful figure suggested
inescapabIy the European.
She could not have analysed the
impression, but she would have
known him anywhere for Cont
mental. Something little more
courtly in his simple greeting j.
his clothes so correct and yet subtly
more sophisticated.
Yet, as her eyes lifted to his, she
met a look Of frank friendliness
which she would have thought dis
tinctively American.
On her left, a shorter, stockier
figure not really as short as he
seemed by contrast with Toms
loosely-knit six feet and some
inches, and the other mans rather
unusual height.
A squared awed. taciturn indi-
vidual this, inexpensive and poker
faced as DeVos was open and
charming.
Mr.. Statlanderl" She smiled
gleefully at her own accurate mem
DRY, but her air was one of compe-
tent hostess-ship. "Tom-will you
take Mr.. Statlander and Mr.. De Vos
upstairs?' Well have tea on the
lawn as soon as it's convenient for
everybody.
Mr.. Statlander is next to us, you
know, and Mr.. De Vos in the end
room. Cousin Amos said he would
be down soon"
BY telepathic matrimonial wire
less she flashed her husband the in
formation that Cousin Amos had
arrived, was installed and had al
ready been a little difficult.
And by return communication, as
he started up the stairs, her hus-
band signaled' back that he would
do his best to help her out, that she
was looking adorable, and that so
far all was we'll.
