This stipulation was agreed to by the
Government in order to preclude any
possibility of the summoning Of the

new FACTS SEEN

Additional Light.

A possibility that new light may
be shed on the cellular activity of
cancer through the study of plant
viruses was voiced here today by
DR.. w w. Skinner, bio-ckemist with
the Department of Agriculture, who
spoke to the Association of Dairy
Food and Drug officials in conven-
ton at the Raleigh Hotel
DR.. Skinner, who is assistant chief
of the Chemical and archaeological
Research, Bureau of Chemistry and
Soils, said that, I'VE may be on the
Threshold of a discovery that will
be of great value in the study of
cancer. Our research in peculiar
chemical substances which produce
disease yet of themselves are not
living matter is giving us new in
sight into plant viruses."
He was careful to point out, how
ever, that they had made no direct
discoveries concerning cancer. They
were only making an intensive study
of chemicals which over-stimulate
cellular activity that lead them to
believe they we're getting close to
acquiring definite knowledge concern
ing plant cancers" which might be
related to cancer in man.
The research, carried out under
the Bankhead-Jones Act of 1896, is
not to expand the work of the Bu-
reau of Chemistry and Soils, but to
make a little deeper study of cer-
tain phases of the work, he said.

of 1888 L street NV, will be sought
by his attorney, Robert I. Miller, 1t

The jury returned its verdict, which

face did not change when he heard
the jury foreman pronounce the
word guilty but grin spread over
his features as he was led from the

tive for the killing.
The defense contended McAffee was
SO drunk at the time of the Staying

told them they should return a YER

would have permitted a verdict Of

d. c. Surgeon Details Operation
To Restore Scalps Torn A,vay
WOrse Than
Indians, DIR. CahM
Tells Contention.
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-The Indians
have stopped scalping. but the ma
chimes have taken over where the
red men left off, the American Col
lege Of Surgeons was informed today.
This fact was brought out by James
A. Cahill, NJ D., of Georgetown Uni
versity School of Medicine in telling
how surgeons have devised operations
to build new scalps, something which
was not done much in the good old
days"
The moderns who lose their scalps
to machines are exclusively women
and Chinese. according to DR.. Cahilrs
records, which cover 96 cases. Long
hair catching in wheels or belts is
the cause, and since the Chinese cut
their queues they have been exempt.
But bobbed-hair styles have not been
a complete protection.
The most recent operation for CIV
ing a woman new scalp was de-
scribed by DR.. Cahill. The patient
was a 2s-year-old garment worker
whose accident came as she stopped
to pick up something under her ma
chine.
The machine did about twice as
much scalping. in area. as a savage's
knife. and it took OF the right ear
too. Yet today, said DR.. Cahill, the
young woman has new ear and a
complete scalp.
She wears a transformation, said

HANS HOLBEIN

a citizen of Basle.
Now he was in London. The great
Whitehall fresco, painted in 1887, was
the first work of importance that Hol-
bein did for Henry, and if his sue
cess had been assured before, it was
doubly so now. For $50 years every
distinguished visitor to the Palace was
taken to see it. It's subjects were a

In 1898 the walls were destroyed by

the fresco had been made remains,
and it shows us Henry in his prime,

to us. He stands with arms akimbo
and legs carefully posed to show the
well turned calves to advantage. Henry
was vain of his legs. This portrait

careful guardian of the state exche-
quer, but he was so often pleased with
his court painters achievements that
he frequently lavished double pay
ments upon him
Yet even so perfect and meticulous

He sent for the lady, and in his impa-
tlence to meet the original of the
lovely portrait, set sail on his barge
down the Thames from London.
At last they met. The ardor of the
King cooled Immediately. She was
far from beautiful. He returned tc
his barge-alone and still bearing the
gifts he had intended for her. The
Kings painter, luckily, was not at
hand.
But Henry bore Holbein no Ill
will-at least not for long. The court
painter remained in his employ at his
salary of 80 pounds year, a large
sum in the 18th century.
Few Of Works Remain.
OF Holbeins pr @igious output, only
few portraits remain. The large
frescos and the wall paintings on the
buildings in Lucerne have all been
destroyed or have disappeared. Only
sketches and copies of these remain
OF the rest the portraits in oil ano
the pencil drawings bring to life agair

history.

RAILROADS COSTS
HELD UNDULY CUT
Senator Says Van SWerin-
gems Got Funds Needed
for. Maintenance.
I1 The Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Senator Truman. Democrat, OF Mis-
souri, asserted today that the Missouri
Pacific Railroad embarked In 1881 on
a program of desperate cutting OF ex-
penditures and deferred maintenance"
in order to pay the Van Swermgens
money that ought to have gone into
additions and betterments.
The statement was made before a
Senate committee investigating rail-
road finance, of which Truman is act
ing chairman.
Associates of the late Van Sweringen
brothers, who created a giant rail en-
pire. of which the Missouri Pacific was
a part. quickly challenged Truman to
prove that the program to which he
referred was instigated by the Van
Sweringen organization.
A stir was created in the hearing
room when former attorney for the
Van Sweringens, not called as a wit
ness, interrupted to suggest that if
Truman wanted to "be fair" he
should have addressed his remarks to
L. w. Baldwin, president of Missouri
Pacific, instead of F. P. Johnson,
finance officer who was on the stand
at the time
The attorney. who identified him.
self as John Marshall of Washing
ton law firm, told Truman that Bald
win had ordered the curtailed ex-
penditures and was more qualified
to explain than Johnson.
Committee examiners demanded
Immediately that Marshall be sworn
as witness. When he took the
stand, he said he did not represent
any of the witnesses before the COM
mittee. He said, however, that he
was formerly employed by the Var
Sweringen organization.
What prompted you to suggest
that we call Mr.. Baldwin," Marshall
was asked.
"I probably shouldn't have done it.
the attorney replied.
"I think the committee knows how
to handle its procedure" Truman
told him.
Marshall apologized and left with

has now been improved to the point
where a rather small injection given
to child who has been exposed
serves as an almost certain protec-
ton.
The last great measles epidemic
was two years ago. Another can be
expected within a year or so. Chiefly
a children's disease, measles goes over
the country like wildfire. A child
usually RECEIVERS without serious ef-
fects. but sometimes complications
result which cripple the victim for
life, leave the heart permanently
weakened, or even prove fatal In
terms of money alone, such an epi-
demic costs the American people many
millions in doctor bills and medi-
cine.
Needed in Last Epidemic.
At the time of the last epidemic
the convalescent serum preventative
treatment was in its infancy and use
of it was made in only a few COM
munities. 1t probably will be wide
spread in the next epidemic and from
then on, as serum pools increase and
the method becomes we'll known, it
may be almost universal among ex-
posed children. Among adults, espe-
cially in primitive communities,
measles is often very serious disease.
1t was one of the chief causes OF
death during the Civil War. Sew
eral Pacific islands have been nearly
depopulated with it. Convalescent
serum now probably could be rushed
by plane anywhere in the world
when such an epidemic started.
Once case of measles has started,
it was pointed out, the serum has not
proved so effective in the past, but
recent experiments indicate that the
difficulty has been with two small
doses. A curative dose, it is believed,
must be about ten times preventative
dose. When human serum is used
there is no reason why such dose
should not be given.
The same method may eventually be
applied to such children's diseases as
whooping cough and chicken pox one
feature of this sort of bank, it was
stressed, is that the supply almost
always equals the demand. Once an
epidemic of measles starts, more serum
is required and automatically there is
more avsnable, for there are more
convale cents. The same is true for
any other disease against which con-
valescent serum is effective.
The banks are set up locally, but
must be under responsible direction,
must conform in every respect to the
rigid standards demanded by the, as
sociation, and submit to constant In
snectiou,
