The Tigers, counting on the defeat of Harvard by Cornell, are confident of vanquishing the Cam bridge men today and believe, if they do, the eastern football ohnnipionship will be theirs. Betting, which was rather brisk among the student followers of the two elevens, was mostly at even money, though in some quarters Princeton had a slight shade in tho odds. Attracted by the hope of seeing the Orange and Black banners wave trium phant, old Princeton "grnds" swarmed into this little town today. Automo biles and special trains brought them by the thousand and the campus was ino scene of the liveliest football jolli- ftHm that has preceded .y big game At Princeton for venra Tha im nn. at Princeton for years. The iudica tiong are that more than 30,000 persons will see the contest. 'Stop Mahan" was the slogan of the Tigers cohorts who Boemed to fear the prowess of the Harvard captain more than the rest of the Crimson team com bined. Princetonians point out that the educated toe of Tibbott, the Tiger kicker, can be depended upon to drop the ball over the goal posts from almost any point inside the 40 yard line. None of the coaches of either team would venture a prediction as to the result of the contest. Michigan Meets Cornell. Chiongo, Nov. 6. Interest in tho "Big .Nine" football situation today centered in the Michigan-Cornell game at Ann Arbor.

Will there be leisure enough for a game of old sledge for company's sake I n official statement in regard to the recent reappearance in northern Illinois of the foot-and-month disease after it had been apparently stamped out early in tho year, was issued today by the United (States Department of Agriculture.

A and-mouth disease the first ' in this fifth test therefore was made and ten country in six years was discovered days after inoculation, the sixty-sec- in tho vicinity of Niles, Michigan. De spite thorough investigation, the source of the infection remains unknown. It was learned, however, that before the occurrence was reported to Washing ton and the disease dingnosed by veter inarians familiar with it through ex perience in past outbreaks, animals from the infected area had reached Chi cago. Owing to the extreme contag iousness of the disease, tho Union Stock yards were, quarantined (October 31). Ordinarily several days or a week elapse between infection and the ap pearance of symptoms, and although there was no conclusive evidence on the point it was believed possible that tho animals in question' might have reached the yards in the incubative stage and infected them. Disease Spread Quickly On November 1 this belief was strengthened by the discovery of the disease in the cattle being exhibited nt the Dairy Show in the immediato vi cinity of the yards. In the yards prop er, however, the first case did not ap pear until November 3. The next day foot-and-mouth disease was found among the hogs nt the establishment of the Great Western Serum company. This establishment wns quarantined at once and at about the same time a pre cautionary quarantine wns also placed upon another establishment, that of tho Chicago Scrum company, located about a mile away, although no actual capes of the disease had been found nt this second establishment. At thut time the Chicago Scrum company had on hnnd approximately 101.000 cubic centime- ters of nnti-liog-cholera serum which k.l 1 i r,it . .. . had been prepured late in October. All of this serum was nluced under of f i wt by the inspectors of the dc- P.Brtmcnt a"d w'"1','d from distribu- lou. . Serum Was Affected During the ensuing six months the disease, which had spread widely over the country, was effectively combated by tho slaughter of ull exposed herds. It was then decided that the law re- inu. uired the deportment to comply with the request of the Chieueo Serum com- , t, . company for a und , ,erviHion 'of h ,,. supervision purtment. Forty-one thousand cubic centimeters of the serum were thor oughly mixed and rebottled, and on June 30 samples were injected into eight small hogs. Two check-hogs were also included in the test. Although in jections as large as 40 cubic centi meters were used, it is certain thut none of these hogs developed foot-and-mouth disease. The test being thus absolutely negative that is to sny no indications of the disease resulting from It the company was informed that it could ship out the serum to its customers, . Sorum Spread Disease On August 8 the inspector in churgc or field inspection ut micugo tele i.n,j , iwi,i t foot-and-mouth (I i sense had been dis i"" " " covered in a herd which had been inoc ulated with this serum in Cook county Illinois. Pending invesjigntion, all shipments of serum pVoducetl in Chi cago were at once prohibited. As a result of the investigation it was found that serum from the Chicago Serum company had been used on eleven herds of hogs eight of which were in Illi nois and one each in Minnesota, Mich igan mid Indiana. Inspection showed that eight of these herds were infected with foot-and-mouth disease, although only a very smull percentage of the hogs In tho manifested symptoms of the disease. All the animals were, how ever, slaughtered at once. The three herds In which no disonsa was found were also slaughtered without waiting to see whether they would subsequently develop the disease or nut, This meas ure was necessary on account of the risk that the disease might be spread by the animals while in the Incuba tive stage. As a result of tho precau- tion no further cases have been re ported from Michigan, Minnesota or liidianu. Was Pronounced Pure Iu addition to- these measures adopt ed to control the spread of tho dis ease, samples of the serum actually used were procured from the owners of the infected herds and ulso samples of the remaining stock of the Chicago Scrum company. ligs' and culves, the ani mals which are most susceptiblo to fnot-nnd-innuth disease. were iiinciilnt- oiki animal winch had been used in the tests, a calf which had received thirty cubic centimeters, developed character ise lesions. The diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease was subsequently confirmed by the inoculation of other animals with muterial from the infect ed calf. . Satisfied With Proof This is regarded as proof that the suspected serum actually was infected. Why the standard tests used on 01 animals failed to reveal this fact is a matter for scientific investigation and the bacteriologists of tho department, are now at work upon the problem. At the time of mnnuiucture, one-half of one per cent of curbolic acid wus mixed with the serum to act as a pre servative. It is now believed that the Carbolic acid, acting as a germicide, may nave attenuated or nartiallv do stroyed the virus, to such au extent that whut have previously been considered safe tests fuiled to establish the pres ence ot tne infection, it is also pos sible that the virus instead of being disseminated tnroughout the entire mass of serum, may have become ag glutinated. This has been known- to occur with germs of othor diseases. The result would be the formution of the scrum fluid into isolated clumps of foot-and-mouth disease virus, while the bulk of the .sorum remained free from these tiny masses. If this were the cuse, it is obvious that certuin ani- mills inoculuted with the serum would develop foot-uud-mouth disease and otliers would escapo. Up to the prcs- ..... -I.,.. .1.1 l.. ...... .i I ent, it should be stated; scientists imve not been ublo to Ideutify tho gorm of . .... . . foot-und mouth disease although the economic importance of the ulucue in h'uropc has caused it to bo studied ex haustively lor ninny years. To Doctor the Medicine In the department, experiments arc now being vigorously prosecuted with a view to discover a menus of treat ing scrum ut tho time of its manufac ture which effectually will kill the vir us of foot und-mouth disease. The re--suits so fur attained are promising and tho department hopes that a success ful method will be evolved shortly. In the meantime all the infected serum in the hands of tho Chicago Serum com pany has been destroyed without com pensation. All other serum manufac tured iu Chier.go, which it was believed might contain possibilities of danger, has likewise been destroyed. Further more, the department is prohibiting the shipment of any serum from licens ed establishments in the districts that uro under quarantine for foot-and-mouth discuse. Department Has no Control Tho problem of producing m scrum which will bo effective in controlling hog cholera and ut the same timo will be absolutely safe in general use is complicated by tho fact that tho de partment of agriculture has no authori ty over serum plunts which dispose of their products exclusively in tho state in which they uie manufactured. Such establishments are amenable nlono to state law und regulation. The virus act confers no authority on the depart ment to guarantee or certify any com mercial ijcrum, nor does it provide for a continuous examination and inspec tion of scrum establishments. Tho de partment can only control serums und analogous products in interstate com merce when there is evidence that they are contaminated, dangerous or worth less, or when the manufacturer is not licensed to engage in such interstate business. The virus act was passed about two years ago, and within the short time intervening between its pas sage und the outbreak in 1014, and with the facilities available, the de partment extended its inspection over serum plunts just us fnr as the' law and circumstances' would permit. There were in October, 11114, about ninety serum plants holding federal licenses, loeuted at widely separated points in the United States. This condition ren dered continuous Inspection very ex pensive nnd impossible with the funds legally available for tho purpose. Why is it thtn women are never mado judges at a hub? show.
