1ST BALLOONIST
PARIS (TTP) To oommemorata the
105th anniversary ox the death of
Pllatre de Rozler, tint man In the
world, with the Marquis d'Arlandee,
to attempt a balloon flight, the
French government hu ordered the
Issue of a stamp bearing the portrait
of this pioneer.
In November, 1783, a few monthe
after the first Mongofller balloon had
rlaen from the public place of Ann
onay, Kozlur and the Marqula d'Ar
landee left the park of the Chateau
of the Muette In a balloon. Twenty
minutes later, they landed In the out
skirts of Paris, at the Butte-aux-Oallles.
In June, 1784, Pllatre de Rozler re
newed his attempt with Proust, the
chemist, and In three-quarters of an
hour they traveled from Versailles to
Ohantllly, about 40 miles.
Encouraged by the suoceas of his
first attempts, Rozler decided to cross
the channel. In June, 1788, he had
built an apparatus, composed of two
superimposed balloons, one of which
contained hydrogen and the other
not air.
On the morning of June 18, Rozler
and the physician Romaln went up.
but pushed by contrary winds, the
balloon flew over tne snore, ana k
complete the disaster, the taffeta of
the hydrogen balloon' ripped open,
and caught fire. Rozler and his com
panion were hurled out of the basket
and crushed to death In the fall to
earth. Pllatre de Rozler wr. 28 and
Romaln a little younger.
They were the first victim In the
conquest of the air by men.
Another commemorative stamp will
be Issued to honor the memory of
Andre Marie Ampere, creator of the
electro-dynamic theory whose name
was given to the unit of .current.
Ampere was born In Lyons In 1775.
Never having attended school, he
spent his childhood and youth In the
small libraries of hie home town.
The Revolution swept him off his
feet, ardent partisan of the young
republic. After his father had died
on the guillotine, he gave up his rev
olutionary Ideas and became a pro
feeeor of experimental phyLsca at the
College of Prance. Philosopher as well
as mathematician, Ampere wrote sev
eral philosophical and mathematical
books, and a biography, containing
love letters he wrote during the three
years he waa engaged to Julie Oaron.
The ceremonies of the centenary
will take place In his' blrtbplaoe,
Lyons.
MOSCOW (UP) 61noe aviation has
become a sport In the Soviet, 138 aero
clubs have been organized through
out the oountry by young men and
women.
Light, two-seater monoplanes of
ttie very latest design are much In
demand and aeronautical engineers
are kept busy building 'economical
yet safe fllwer planes to meet the
demands.
Last summer these Soviet aero dubs
took to the air on a long distance
mass flight over the nation, covering
bout 3.000 miles. They plan a almllar
flight this summer.
The designers expected to oonstruct
new lightweight aircraft for this
summer's aerial Junket will hold a
conference in this elty early this year
to discuss the itinerary of the plan
ned flight and the probable design ot
the new planes.

LEPROSY PERILS
ARE DISCOUNTED
BY LATEST TEST
. BERKELEY, Cal. (UP) Effort to
keep allvo the causative organism of
leprosy have virtually established the
fact that the dLeeaae la not oontegi-
That is the conclusion of Dr. A. J.
Salle, assistant profeaeor of bacter
iology at the University of California.
Talcing aa a basla for his work clin
ical tests that had been made at the
Kallhl Leprosy hospital, on the out
skirts of Honolulu, Dr. Salle success
fully checked them for six months at
the Federal loprosarlum at Carvllle,
La. ,
The original experiments at the
Honolulu institute were directed to
ward keeping alive the causative or
ganism of leprosy for & sufficiently
long period to study Its development
and possibilities of treatment. Along
these lines considerable progress has
been made.
It was these experiments that Dr.
Salle rcchcoked at CarvlUe, La. Bao-
teria token from 11 subjects not only
produced the same results In each
case, but Identical results with those
obtained at Honolulu.
The organisms removed from living
subjects by Dr. Salle were placed In
embryonto chicken . tissue culture.
These embryos wore drawn from fer
tile egg, prepared by mincing and
converted Into a culture In biological
fluids.
The leprosy organisms were placed
In this culture and have survived
there, thus giving opportunity for
definite Identification and the pos
sible development of tt curative agent. ,
Efforts to Incubate leprosy germs
In human beings and animals by the ;
usual means for the most part have
been unsuccessful. It Is this fact that
has established the conclusion that
the disease probably Is not contag
ious. While medication in leprosy has
been widely different and generally
dlscour axing. It Is believed that as a
result of the present experiments In
keeping the organism alive under lab
oratory conditions progress can now
be made In the curative field.

YALE ENFORCES
ECONOMY
AS
NEW HAVEN, Oonn. (UP) Yale
University had a net excess of ex
penses over income of 1.03382.39
for the 1934-35 fiscal year, according
to the report of Treasurer George
Parmly Day, and a retrenchment pro
gram in every department of the uni
versity has been ordered by President
Jamea Rowland Angell, who fore
casts "hard sledding" for Yale for the
next two years.
A heavy cut in the income of the
university from its funded invest
ments has brought about a critical
situation, according to Dr. Angell.
The unlvorslty'a budget was cut
000,000 last year, and a further re
duction In the next budget la now
under way. Sixty per cent of the uni
versity's Income la from its Invest
ments, the rest coming from tuition
and other payments.
The first retrenchment move has
resulted in the resignation from the
staff of the Yale Medical School of
Dr. Wlnthrop Morgan Phelps, noted
orthopedist, and head of the depart
ment of orthopedlo eurgery since
1933.
Two other members of the medical
school staff, Dr. Merrill K. Lindsay,
widely known expert on the treat
ment of fractures, and Dr. Denis O'
Connor, noted authority on Joint In
juries, In the future will subordin
ate their teaching to private practice,
due to the fact that the condition of
the university's finances haa made it
necessary to hold up regular grade
advances for faculty members.
The combination of Dr. Phelps and
his two assistants haa been regarded
as one of the most outstanding in
the oountry In the treatment ot or
thopedic conditions resulting from in
fantile paralysis and childbirth. Dr.
Phelps la particularly noted for his
method of treating birth Injuries and
the results of his studies in the
treatment of conditions resulting
from Infantile paralysis are In general
use by surgeons throughout the
country.
The financial report of the univer
sity ahows that the school of medi
cine alone suffered a debit balance
of M59.378.ll for the 1934-33 fiscal
period.
A cut of ass.000 in the appropria
tion of the university library budget
haa been ordered, which will mean the
dismissal of several staff assistants
sa well aa a cut in the number of
books which oan be added. It has
been reported unofficially that a large
number of instructors in the English
department will not have their con
tracts renewed at the end of the col
lege year, while several other depart
ments likewise will be cut.
Several university buildings used
for classrooms and offices of instruc
tors have been closed, due to econ
omy measures, and orders have gone
out to all concerned to economize
even on lights and water,

DANCER OF DEATH
IN SILICATE DUST
BY TESTS
TOLEDO (UP) Experiments have
proved to the satisfaction of James
H. Boyd, scientist and lawyer, that
si llcate dust, breathed Into the
lungs, eventually may cause death
by strangulation.
The congressional investigation Into
alleged silicosis deaths on the Gau
ley Bridge, W. Va., project, recalled
to Boyd coses in which -he represent.
ed victims of silicosis in Ohio courts
several years ago.
Although Boyd carried the cases
from the Ohio Industrial Commis
sion to the Ohio supreme court, his
clients were not compensated.
Chemists, whom Boyd retained,
found means of showing that Inha
lation of dust into the lungs caused
condition of tissue consolidation
which could result in death.
Working on Boyd's cases, chemists
Incinerated at high temperature a
sample of the consolidated, or hard
ened, lung. In a lung tissue weigh
ing 20 grams, were found eight
grams of dust particles, according
to Boyd.
This dust had spread through the
lungs, producing a black pigmenta
tion, Boyd said, and had caused the
consolidation of lung tissue, decreas
ing the lung area, and, according to
analysis, resulting finally in death
by asphyxiation.

aged 382 pounds of butterfat, against
an average of 334.9 pounds In 1934.
"On the basis of 1934 prices the

the 1925 cow would htve cleared 53

In 1925, the total net return above

Because of a shortage of feed fol
