modicum of intelligence, If he cared

he was interested prosper. would do
the things the average Governor
does in appointing his prison
warden.
II venture to state that not a
single warden in the country to-
day conscientiously and deliberately,
in advance, adopted the prison busi-
ness as his life work and set him.
self to the task of training for it,"
He urged the association to go
on record in favor of the career
system in prison Service.

able to obtain employment from
somewhere else can be taken care

ceptance corporation.
Charles L. Phillips said General
Motors men gave him a sales talk

the Michigan State police urged
higher speed limits be fixed every
where so motorists would have more
respect for such limits. He suggested
80 miles an hour in business and
average residential districts, As miles
through thickly settled highways
and 10 miles in rural areas. Speed
limits cannot be made effective, he
said, unless they are fixed at level
under which 80 or 80 per cent of
drivers "customarily" operate.
G. E. Williams, traffic manager
for a trucking firm in Oklahoma
City, told how his company's drivers
drove 2,25O,000 miles without a

said, by deducting IS cents from

matching it with company funds,

Senator Bennett Champ Clark,

night before Akron's Civic Forum.
A member of the congressional

Clark asserted he had mo time for

that he "abhorred" Adolf Hitler. his
policies and treatment of German

Mystery Disease
That Cripp|es People
For Time Reported
Health Association Told
About New Form
Of Dysentery
Hv the Associstad press

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Pa. Oct. ia
new mystery disease" which Grip
Piles people for a short time but
does not kill them was reported To-
day before the American Public
Health Association.
1t is a form of dysentery, one OF
the diseases which held up the
digging of the Panama Canal and
for centuries has stopped armies
from marching more effectively than
bullets.
DR.. Millard Knowlton and DR.
E. E. Lamourex of the Connecti-
cut State Department of Health de-
clared that the disease is caused by
some bacteria or virus which has
not yet been identified. 1t is not
the same as the bacillus of amebic
forms Of dysentery, the types usu-
ally found. The latter was the
form which caused the outbreak
of dysentery at the Century OF
Progress in Chicago and later at
the Chicago stockyards fire in 1884.
Carried in Water Supplies.
The great mystery of the new
form is that it also is carried in
water supplies, the Connecticut
scientists said. Outbreaks of it usu-
ally occur in areas where water is
obtained from reservoirs which
gather water from small drainage
basins.
material washed into a reservoir
of small capacity by a heavy rain
fall after spell of dry weather is
apt to contain vegetable matter in
cluding germs that affect plants,
they added, and thus produce dys-
entery.
There also may be some relation
ship between this type of dysentery
and the diarrhea epidemics in new
born babies which sometimes occurs
in hospitals and cause many infant
deaths. If the disease is found to
be the same, or even similar, the
research on the mild type in adults
may be the stepping stone to pre-
venting or treating the disease in
babies, DR.. Knowlton and DR.
Lamoureaux said.
Persons who have the disease
rarely see a doctor because they
diagnose their symptoms as merely
a stomach upset." and. therefore
the germ or virus is probably much
more common than public health
authorities realize. If it is the same
disease as infant diarrhea it should
be tracked down as thoroughly as
any epidemic of smallpox or scarlet
fever, they added.
Artificial Mosquito Bite
Drug addicts are signing their
own death warrants with hypoder-
mic needles, which they trade around
promiscuously. DR.. Harry Most of
New York University reported to
the association the discovery of out
breaks of malignant malaria, which
were caused by the common use
of the same needle.
Ordinarily. the disease, is trans
mitted by mosquitoes, but sudden
outbreaks of several hundred cases
in New York led the scientist to
investigate and find the bizarre
method of transmission.
