Ships Rat-Proofed.
It is believed by scientists that
f1eas on board ships between Indian
ports and Manila would have no rats
to feed on because most of the ships
are "rat-proofed''-at least those
carrying the types of cargo in which
f1eas might be carried, such as cotton.
Fleas infected with plague. however,
could infect rats If they lived to
reach the Philippines, and these rats
could in turn infect other fleas which
might spread the disease to humans
by biting them.
The plague has been reported this
year in seven parts of India-the
Bombay Presidency, an Indian state,
the city of Bombay, Bassein, Poona
Calcutta, Delhi and Rangoon. 1t also
exists in China, nearby region.
The scientists found that under
ordinary conditions the f1eas would
not live more than five days, without

Rexford G.. Tugwell, Undersecre-

ter to the workers in the Food and
Drug Administration, expressed regret
yesterday over the failure of Congress
to pass the Copeland pure food, drug

Passage was made impossible both
by the pressure of other business and
through the opposition of the inter-

by the legislation Tugwell said.
Efforts of the administration "to
secure a satisfactory law have not
ended" he added. They have only

Your Health
BY DR.. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

TN the lower animals the sense Of smell is so i'm
portant that it dominates most of their activities
BY the sense Of smell animals find their food and
determine its qualities and recognize their friends or
enemies
In human beings the sense Of sight dominates by
far the sense of smell SO that when the sense
of smell is lost life is not greatly affected yet it
makes great deal Of difference to our appettes
and pleasures
The sense Of smell is closely linked to all other
senses Of the body It is furthermore strongly in
grained in our memories. Once person has smeled
rose or corned beef and cabbage, the odor there
after means something very definite in his life
It is now we'll established that in some people the
sense of smell is greatly deficient There are people
who lack the ability to smell certain odors although
they can smell others.
This is much the same as the type Of deafness in
which people can hear sounds only within certain
range
TT is also well established that it is possible for the
l. sense to become so fatigued by repeatedly smell
ing strong odors that it is impossible to smell them
further.
For example, if you smell certain kind OF per-
furne over and over for sufficiently long time, you
will get to the point where you can not smell 1t at
all but different odor will be smeed Immediately.
1t is for this very reason that women beginning
with small amounts Of perfume ultimately reach an
excess Of the same perfume because their nostrlls
have become so accustomed TO it that they fail to
appreciate small amounts Of it.
Tor example, nozzles may be put into each Of the
Il nostrils and different odor blown into the nose
from each nozzle. Sometimes one is smelled after
the other sometimes one only is sneled and some
times neither.
It has been found that the odor Of rubber and
benzoin are neutralizng, also iodoform and balsam
of Peru and cedarwood and rubber.
Strangely it has been found that certain odors
antagonize each other so that when both are present
at once neither IS smeled. They seem TO neutralze
each CHER in some way

Disrupted by Il Dime

THE sheriff seems to have started 1t about ten
L years back with an essay in the old New York
Herald describing the August ceremonies on the
opening day of the baseball season in Brooklyn.
Charlie Ebbets, the magnate, and a distinguished
company of Brooklyn statesmen, marched to the
flag pole in center field wearing plug hats
Mr. Mcclellan, describing the scene IN the paper
next morning said that Mr.. Ebbets suddenly dis
rupted the imposing formation OF plug hats by drop
ing to his knees behind second base to search in the
grass for dime which he had dropped. Mr.. Harry
Stevens the hotdog magnate now also gone kindly
fell out of the procession and offered to help nm
search for the dime. But Mr.. Ebbets waved nm
away in alarm. saying NO do not want you TO
help me; you might find it..
Mr. Ebbets angrily denied that any Such incident
had marred the majestic dignity OF the opening
ceremonies He demanded a retraction.
Mr. Mcclellan thereupon wrote another article
confessing that he had been mistaken in reporting
that Charlie Ebbets dropped dime. 1t was even
worse than that, he said. Mr.. EbbetS had dropped
Is cents
The sheriff thus started feud with the old mag
nate which grew in beauty until Mr.. Ebbets died.
In the meantime, because Of the friendship be-
tween Mcclellan and Wilbert Robinson, Mr.. EbbetS
began to suspect Uncle Wilbert in a mild way. He
did not wish to discharge him because Wilbert had
a strange knack for picking up old, discarded ball
players in the baseball bone yards and winning ball
games with them. He two remnants with mixed

manager of the Gaumont British
Picture Distributors Corporation,
Ltd, who is in New York for the
avowed purpose of establishing a
nationwide chain Of exchanges
for the distribution here of his
company's productions.
Various news commentators
have described our projected &C
tivities as an invasion of Amer
ica," Mr.. Bernerd remarks. Il
hardly think that this is the word.
In England we do not regard the
widespread distribution of Amer
lean pictures as an invasion
"On the contrary they are
heartily welcomed and we'll pa
tronized. After all, we have been
releasing GaUmont British pic
lures in small way in America
for several years, but we have not,
up to this time, made any deter
mined effort to achieve the recog-
milton to which the high enter
tainment value of our pictures
certainly entities us.
That this failure on our part to
attain wider circulation for our
product is mainly our own fault,
we freely admit, and it is to cor
rect this situation that we are
opening our own exchanges and
conducting a concentrated drive to
make the American public eau
mont-British conscious. We have
an exceptionally fine lineup Of
pictures either completed, in pro-
duction, or in preparation, and we
know that they will compare most
favorably with the best which are
being produced in America.
Among others scheduled for
early release here are Power
(Which we are presenting in Eng
land under the title Jew Suss0 !;
'Chu Chin Chow Evergreen
Man of Aran, a Robert j. Flaher-
ty production; Little Friend My
Song for You which stars Jan
Kiepura, who was such a sensa-
ton in BE Mine Tonight and
Princess Charming, starring Eve
lyn Laye. And these are only a
few of our current releases.
I'VE recently signed George Ar
liss to star in The Iron Duke,
and we have since secured this
great artist for two more pictures.
Conrad Veidt, who has given a
marvellous performance in Power
will be starred in King of the
Damned, drama Of Devils ISL
and. Altogether we anticipate
making available better than
thirty pictures during the coming
year.
There is one feature in connec-
ton with Gaumont British pic
lures" Mr.. Bernerd asserts, that
is Of the utmost Importance to
both the theater managers and the
picture patronizing public in
America, and that is the fact that
they are, without exception, en-
tirely clean in theme and dia-
logue. BY this do not mean that
they are in any sense lacking in
absorbing story values or enter
tainment qualities, but We have
found it wholly possible to pro-
duce pictures which possess the
highest audience appeal without
the sacrifice of decency, and to
attain convincing realism without
resort to suggestive action or off,
color situations"
Included in both the current
and advance production plans of
Gaumont- British is the employ
ment Of many Of the best known
American stars and directors, Mr..
Bernerd states, and his company
is prepared to make productions
in America should the occasion
arise.
