That deduction is partially suggested
also by what is behind the Wire
tapping rumor.
Postmaster General Farley has
been heard to complain privately
to some of his associates that every
time he calls the interior Depart
nlent there is click on the tDtre.
He had no suspicion that his 0tpD
Office or hotel home pire TGs tap
ped. Yet, certain circumstdntidl
evidence in addition to the clicking
indicated that third party keeps
record OF some calls coming into
the interior Department, p. w. A..
Oil Administration and all the
other little Kingdoms Uhich Mr..
IckeS rules. Murmurings on the
same subject hdDe been heard
from Postmaster General Fdrleys
lieutendnts. UEo say they hare had
similar experiences.
1t may be that they are overly
suspicious where Messrs. Ickes and
CLAWS are concerned, but that is be-
side the point.
Through all this smoke you may
discern the spark of undeniable truth
that all Washington has great respect
for the modest little gay-pay-oo estab-
lished by Mr.. CLAWS. He has only
about $50 regular employees. but bor-
roWings from the Justice Department
and other bureaus keep it generally
around 800. The erroneous reports
are high tribute to the efficiency of
his organization. But that is not the

So the least you can say of over
worked Mr.. Ickes is that he has estab-
lished a new high for denials, when
he can deny investigating the pet
project of a member of the Presidents
family and tapping the wire of a cabi-

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 18.-Federal
agents worked at top speed today to
put the finish to the Barker-Karpis
kidnap gang, with the arrest of Alvin
Karpis, new No. public enemy and
remaining king pin" Of the mob, be-
lieved to be imminent.
The belief that the Government In
vestigators were closing in on Karpis
was based on a series of developments
including the disclosure of a Federal
agent at Ocala, Fla, that heavy REIN
forcements of agents had been sent
into that State for a concentration
near Miami.
This disclosure, made at the inquest
into the death of Fred Barker and
his mother, Kate, both Of whom were
slain earlier in the week by Federal
agents at Oklawaha, Fla, came al
most simultaneously with the an
nouncement that Arthur (Doc) Bar
ker brother Of the slain Fred, was
held incommunicado in Chicago. At
the same time, another report said
they were searching gangland haunts
on Chicago's Northside for Karpis.

ATLANTA, January 1S.-A belief
that American capital invested abroad
should not expect protection of the
American flag through intervention
by armed forces was expressed in a
speech prepared for delivery here last
night by Sumner Welles. Assistant
Secretary of STATE.
Willard Beaulac of the Latin Amer
ican section of the State Department
read the speech prepared by Welles
before the first annual meeting of
American colleges. The latter Is con-
fined to his bed in Washington fol-
lowing a heart attack.
Welles said Latin America need
never again fear American dollar
diplomacy" or the big stick" policy.
Quoting President Roosevelt's dec
laration that "the definite policy Of
the United States from now on Is one
opposed to armed Intervention, {"
Welles, chief of the State Depart
ment's Latin American section, said
the United States had proved its
intention of foregoing future unilat-
eral Intervention.
He said the Presidents declarations,
together with American signature Of
the Montevideo Convention of Rights
and Duties of States, creates a prece-
dent which it is my belief will never
be abandoned"
The former Ambassador to Cuba
declared it was his belief American
capital Invested abroad should, In
fact as well as in theory, be subordi-
nate to the authority of the people
of the country where 1t is located. -
He pointed out that American war
ships stood Of Cuban ports during
the 1888 crisis to evacuate American
citizens If necessary, but that no
armed forces we're landed. He said
the United States withdrawal of Ma
rines from Haiti last Summer fur
nished another example Of principle

Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ.

DR. ALFRED E. EMERSON, professor of zoology
- of the University of Chicago, is now on his way
to the Panama Canal Zone, where he will spend six
months studying the habits and behavior of the ter
mites, the amazing insects which have one Of the
most nearly perfect social organizations known.
The termites are sometimes referred to as the
white ants but this designation is open to objection
since they differ from true ants and moreover are
rarely white. The termites related to the
reaches
Dr. Emerson plans to analyze the effect of changes
in temperature, humidity and light upon the elabo-
rate social life of the termites. He plans also to
arrange battles between terte soldiers" and other
species in order to study the defensive behavior OF
the insects
The social organization of the termites includes
the division of labor and the domestication Of ami
mails. Each nest contains queen and king soldiers,
and workers. The queen and king monopoli5e the
function of reproduction and most OF the members
OF the colony their offspring.
Workers and soldiers differ anatomically. The
workers provide the food for the king queen soldiers
and young This consists chiefly Of woody sub
stances. The soldiers have large heads with mand-
bles for fighting.
THE domestic animals, known technically as
i termitophiles, are a species related to beetles
DR.. Emerson plans to make special study Of this
group.
The activities Of the termtes are very complex.
according to DR.. Emerson often involving chain
series of many eight nine instructive actions.
In order to study these he plans to change condi-
tons Of humidity and the like in parts Of the nests.
measuring the changes with accurate apparatus and
noting the reactions evoked.
A MOTHER phenomenon which he plans to study
n are the swarming habits Of certain ternites.
These species develop wings at certain stages Of their
development leaving their nests to fly elsewhere and
start new colonies.
Unlike humans Dr. Emerson observes, termites
will not fight members of their own species The
soldiers engage battle against other species only
as defensive measures.
But while there is little anti-social behavior
among the termites DR.. Emerson finds lack Of di-
versity in their social organization compared with
other social organizations.
While in the Canal Zone DR.. Emerson will make
his headquarters on the Island Of Barros Colorado
IN Gatun Lake where the National Research Council
maintains biological station.

T~HERE is perhaps no better way TO celebrate May

We know enough now about dphtheria to ELM
mate the disease if all the persons in this country
would do their utmost in aiding the application
of modern medical knowledge.
We do not know the cause of diphther1a, but we
have in addition an anttoxin which, given early and
in sufficient amount will cure the disease in the
vast majority of cases. Moreover, a skin test is
known which shows whether child exposed to
diphtheria will come down with the disease.
FINALLY we have a method of preventing diph-
II liberia involving of a single injection of a
substance called diphtheria toXid.
The modern alum precipitated toxid is very
potent substance which does not produce reactions
in children and which will. after a single injec-
ton make the vast majority of children capable of
resisting infection with this disease.
Diphtheria is an Inflammation of the throat in
the vast majority Of cases. 1t appears as grayish-
white patch.
When a doctor sees this characteristic appear
ance, he takes Swab or culture from the throat.
The germs examined under the microscope and
attempt is made to grow the germs on an ar
tifcial medium TO make certain that the condition
is diphtheria.
THE disease is such a menace. however, that the
doctor does not hesitate to give the antitoxin
even before the results of the examination Of the
material taken from the throat available
Effective treatment Of diphtheria demands i'm

two days of the disease almost invariably the
Seatient, whereas delay may result in some of the
secondary complications of dphtheria which are Sc
riouS and in some instances fatal
These secondary complications are particularly
the effects on the heart and paralysis Of the throat
and of other parts of the body.
Children everywhere should be immunized against
dphtheria. IN fact. the immunizaton may be done
after the child is months old
