Development of a scientific instru- ment through which 1t Is possible to measure changes in the contours of the spine following Chiropractic adjustment has just been completed, according to an announcement by the International Chiropractors As- sociation, made public here today by the offices of the Waterbury Chi- ropractic Society.
 The instrument has been named contourographometer. "The in- strument Is extremely accurate in checking corrections that occur in specific vertebrae following Chiro- practic adjus enents. Combined with the x-ray and the use of highly sensitive, nerve measuring instru- ments, 1t enables the profession to check and re-check results.
 Great progress has been made during the past ten years, both in- side and outside the Chiropractic profession, in determining the func- ton of the nervous system and its place in the development of abnor- nal conditions in the body. Dr. Ed

He failed to do so' ana when the war started he named Goering his successor and Hess next ir line, but 1t generally was con. ceded today that Hess knew all the inner workings of Nazism and the German war machine, enough to profoundly affect the future course of the war If he turns inforrner Tor the Bitish.
 "Mein Kampf' Situation
 When they shared adjoining cells in Lansberg fortress prison in 1924 Hitler dictated every word Of "Mein Kampf" to Hess. And in the book referring to how his storm troopers once elected disturberS from o beei hall meeting, Hitle said: Like wolves they (the storm troopers) hurled themselves in packs of eight or ten on their opponents and be- gan to drive them out of the hall and at the head was my brave Maurice, my present private secre' tary, Hess"

attaches said there was nothing at all to the presidential Illness except an upset digestive system.
 No written Speech
 During his illness the reports of what he would say tomorrow night multiplied daily in their estimate of the nnomentous nature of the forth coming speech. MT. Roosevelt fin- ally expressed amazement to his in inmates that such reports had cur- rency. And from the White House came throughout his illness hints and suggestions that something con- siderably short of a world shaking pronouncement was to be expected during the Pan American address. And 1t was remarked at the White House that with only a couple of days to go, MT. Roosevelt had not put pencil to paper to outline his remarks.
 Under those circumstances the most persuasive explanation here is that MT. Roosevelt, like any other person whose stomach is misbehav- ing did not feel up to writing a speech last week and arranged 70 have the engagement cancelled,
 Nevertheless, there was specula- ton here regarding the cancellation. One theory was that MT. Roosevelt preferred to hold his fire until the Senate has acted on the ship seizure bill. The administration has tne votes to pass the measure. But any significant presidential state ment of policy might further arouse and aggravate the opposition and, perhaps, delay enactment of the legislation which Is desired as soon as I possible. Another theory is that reaction to last weeks addresses ny Secretary of War Henry L. Stamson and other cabinet officers, directly or indirectly urging all out aid to Great Britain, made 1t advisable ai this time to avoid presidential statement of policy.
