State Fair Opens; Rains

Without benefit of the weather

eighty-f1rst annual state fair opened

Belief that attendance at the fair
this year will be greater than in the

; ARE KILLED

Heavy Property Damage Is

BY LAWRENCE HAAS
limited Press staff Correspondent

HAVANA, Sept. "A hurricane
moved across the Gulf of Mexico
toward Texas today, after ripping
a path from east to west over
Cuba, causing great damage, but
taking little toll of life.
Though communication with some
provincial towns still was severed,
reports to date showed only three
known dead.
Seventy-thre persons were in
hospitals here.
The heaviest death list was that
of looters. Soldiers killed five in
Havana streets, determined that
theft should not add to the loss of
hurricane victims. One man was
killed by a fall from a roof here,
and two men were killed at Santa
Clara.
Twentieth century efficiency of
weather forcaSters made it possible
to check each mile as the hurricane
moved westward, and added to the
drama of its irresistible progress.
Reports of damage began reach
ing Havana, in the western portion
of the island, Friday morning. The

Arrival today of the S. S. Henry

Although no announcement was

that the freighter came through the

regarded as significant.
A return trip would put Ford in

SLEEPING Ill
VIRUS FOUND
BY WOMAN
important Discovery Will
Aid War on Epidemic in
st. Louis.
BY LESLIE AVERY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2.-Discoveries
by a diminutive woman scientist
today led a veritable army of ply
sicians, modified to fight the fast
spreading sleeping sickness epidemic
here, into new fields in search of a
checkmate for the disease.
DR.. Margaret G. Smith, assistant
pa%thologist at the Washington uni
verSity's school of medicine, today
came forth as the diScoverer of the
hiding place of the virus which
causes sleeping sickness.
The woman scientist, intensely
interested in research in the fight
against the disease which has taken
ffty-five lives and sent 440 persons
to isolation wards in thirty-twO
days, speeded the discovery through
curiosity.
Makes Valuable Discovery
Seeing slides of materials from
kidneys of dead encephalitis vic
tins on the desk Of her superior, DR..
Howard A. McCordock, DR.. Smith
casually examined them.
The modest woman scientist, re-
uctant to discuss her discovery, re-
ferred queStioners to her superior.
DR.. McCordock explained that his
understudy made the important dis
cOvery during his absence.
although DR.. Smith did not &C
tually discover the virus which has
been much sought after since the
outbreak of encephalitis," DR.. Nc
Cordock said, she did discover in
diSputable proof of the presence OF
virus in the kidneys"
DR.. McCordock said DR.. Smith
found inclusion bodies in kidney
tissues which we're only one one
thousandth of an inch thick.
Virus in Kidneys
"The naked eye revealed that kid
neys were swollen with intense con-
gestion OF blood" DR.. McCordock
said. "a slide of these tissues under
The microscope revealed certain
cells we're larger than normal and
inside of these abnormal cells was
a small BODY, called an intranuclear
inclusion. These inclusion bodies
indicate that the long-sOught virus
causing sleeping sickness is in the
kidneys"
The virus, however, is too small
to be seen through microscopes and
research workers have been unable
to isolate it, because it penetrates
porceline filters.
Physicians were agreed that DR..
Smiths discovery would open new
fields in fighting the encephalitiS
epidemic.
Since the mysterious malady
broke out here July 30, scores of
health experts, including United
States department of public health
officials, have been cooperating IN
an effort to check its spread.
Blocked at All Turns
Experts, formed into the metro
politan health council to fight the
disease, have been blocked at every
turn until the findings of DR.. Smith.
The carrier of the disease, which
attacks the brain and nervous sys-
tenn, was sought in many places
sewers, insects, and human beings.
While scientists sought to develop
a combative serum, the death rate
continued to climb and the number
of new patients grew daily until
they we're averaging more than IS
a day.
Friday marked the first lull in
the number of deaths within two
weeks, when only one person died.
