yielding to control, but functional
diseases of the heart, lungs, and kid-
neys, as well as cancer and diabetes,
are definitely on the increase in spite
of medical science," declared Dr.
James D. Bruce of the medical school
in his lecture yesterday afternoon in
Natural Science auditorium. "This
is caused I think by two factors:
first, the tremendous degree of pres-
sure under which we live, and sec-
ond, the prevalence of chronic infec-
tions, such as the continous cold,
which generate insidious poisons
that circulate throughout the body."
Dr. Bruce pointed to progress in
control of diphtheria as an example
of the brighter side of medical prac-
tice. The death rate from this disease
has decreased from 50 per cent
twenty years ago to 15 per cent to-
day, due to widespread use of toxin-
antitoxin.
One great cause of functional dis-
ease is an unbalanced diet, particular-
ly too much meat and protein, declar-
ed the speaker, instancing recent ex-
periments by Dean G. Carl Huber
which indicate the possibility of de-
veloping a disease like Bright's dis-
ease in rate by feeding them on a
high protein diet.

JACKSONVILLE, Florida, Aug. 8.-
The Florida West Coast prepared to-
night for the advent of the West In-
dian hurricane that has ravaged a
two hundred mile strip of the East
Coast before turning inland from the
Gulf of Mexico.
Approach of the disturbance was
heralded in the southcentral interior
by falling barometers, rain and sud-
den gusts of wind. With what in-
tensity the storm will strike on the west'
side of the peninsula was unknown
but emergency warnings were broad-
cast to the interior and shipping held
to harbors on the prediction of 40-50
mile gales.
East Coast Ravaged
Unestimated damage was done
along the East Coast last night from
West Palm Beach north to Titusville,
with three cities, Stuart, Fort Pierce,
and Zero Beach, bearing the brunt
of the tolls with estimated property
damage of five million dollars. West
Palm Beach escaped the full force
of the storm but suffered consider-
able loss of trees and shrubery.
Available reports indicated there
was no loss of life and few persons
injured. The Florida section of the
American Red Cross took steps to as-
certain whether there was any suffer-
ing, but no reports of need were re-
ceived up to late today.
Shipping along the East Coast last
night had recovered with the cessa-
tion of the hurricane wind and re-
ported fair progress toward their
destination. Among these was Mal-
kory liners, Algonquin which mes-
saged today that it had rescued five
men from a disabled small craft last
night.
A freight train was isolated some-
where on the stricken east coast but
little anxiety was felt for the crew,
railway officials believing the train
may have been marooned by a wash-
out.
LEAGUE GIVES SPORT
PARTY THIS EVENING
The Women's League will enter-
tain the students of the Summer Ses-
sion at a sport party tonight from

SMITH WAITS FOR
PASTOR'S REPL Y
(By Associated Press)
ALBANY, Aug. 8.-Until the post-
man brings Governor Smith a letter
from Dr. John Rhodes Stratton ac-
cepting his challenge for a close
range and free discussion of his po-
litical career, the Democratic presi-
dential nominee intends to say noth-
ing more about the proposed debate.
In a letter to the Pastor of Cal-
vary Baptist church of New York
City Smith yesterday took exception
to Dr. Stratton's declaration from the
pulpit that the Governor was "the
deadliest foe in America today of the
forces of moral progress and true po-
litical wisdom."
Commenting on the death of Mr.
Brennan the Governor recalled that
he first met the Illinois Democratic
leader, who in recent years had ben
one of the staunchest supporters, at
the San Francisco convention in
1920. In a formal statement, issued
later in the day, he expressed sym-
pathey for the dead politicians family
and friends, and referred to him as
" a warm and loyal friend."

SUMMER SESSION CASTS HEAVY VOTE IN ELECTION
Sweeping all opposition before him once again, Herbert Hoover,
of California, the Republican candidate for the Presidency of the
United States, polled a total of 1,010 votes to win the presidential
poll conducted on the campus yesterday by The Summer Daily by
a large majority. The total number of votes cast was 1,405, although
more than 50 unsigned ballots were not recognized.

New York, and Democratic nom-

with a total of 318 votes. Norman

Hoover, 703 were cast by men and 307
by women. In the case of Smith, 229
men voted for the New York gover-
nor while 89 women cast their vote
for him. Of the 54 votes Thomas re-

he said he did not believe in was spec-
ial classes In character education in
the school. He did not favor this
because there are too many courses
now, it would duplicate materials, be-
come formalized, and the results have
not proved to be successful.
Prof. Trow said he did favor a
system of indirect instruction in char-
acter and morals. He would have this
done in conjunction with the other
sourses. The part of the administra-
tion in such a program is to see that
the morale of the school is high, clas-
sify the pupils, and to handle the dis-
ciplinary problems. He said thef cur-
riculum should build up the right at-
titudes in a systematic, rather than a
desultory way.
In conclusion he gave the following
"don'ts": don't introduce the program
in opposition to the teachers, don't
start until after a year of study of
the details of the plan.

as an extreme outsider for Borg
seems to have the championship
cinched.
The one hundred meter breast
stroke championship should go to
either George Kogac or Walter Lofer
and the United States is regarded as
a certain winner of fifteen Olympic
points with George Wyatt likely to
help along the cause some more.
Japan scored its first Olympic vic-
tory when Suruga defeated Rada-
macher of Germany, world's record
holder in the 200 meter breats stroke
competition. The United States was
not represented in the semi-finals of
this event.
The United States water polo out-
fit has an outside chance to win third
place. Malta was defeated 10 to 0,
but it must be said that for men.
born and reared on a sea swept little
island, the Maltese played very poor
water polo.

'the opposite was true in the case of
Hoover.
Thomas Gets Fifty-Four
In the case of Thomas, his total of
54 votes included 5 members of the
faculty, 13 graduate students, 31 reg-
ular students and 5 unclassified votes.
One interesting phase of the poll
is the fact that very nearly the same
percentage of votes were cast, pro-
f portinately, considering the number
of students enrolled in the Summer
Session, "as were cast during the reg-
ular session, when a vote of slightly
~less than 4,000 was cast with the
attendance approximatelysat 10,000.
The Hoover victory was no sur-
prise in view of the fact that he,
won by a large majority at the pool
conducted by The Daily last March,
although Smithtreceived the vote of
the Democrats at that time.
RUFUS TO SPEAK
THIS AFTERNOON

A Re iw, By Miriam C. Mitchell
The cocert presented last night
by the :"amtramck High School sym-
pLieny orchestra was both interesting
and un ue, interesting in presenta-
tion a d unique in the personnel of
the players. The orchestra is, made
; of Junior and Senior High school
students, ranging from eleven to sev-
ei.een yVrs of age, with the younger
pre donmicing. In the light of these
fact< the concert they presented to
, ~through unfinished in many ways,
wa4 creditable, demanding our praise
Syv-el- as our interest. Another uni-
W1, and surprising feature was the
arg'ngement of the instruments on
the platform, and though we were in-
elin d to regard the departure from
rthe accepted form as an eccentricity

T e p,, formance of the orchestra
aa t4. whole was outstanding in the

fortissima and stacotto parts, while
in the pianissimo the players were
inclined to lag behind and get out
of time and tune. There were some
excellent bits of interpretation in the
Children's Suite from Kinderscenen,
by Schumann, the Hunting Song be-
ing especially good. The Bach "Ga-
votte and Musette," though blurry in
spots, was good on the whole. George
Bednar, trumpeter, distinguished him-
self in his almost faultless solo work.
His solos in the group of old English
songs was one of the best parts of
the concert.
The March of the Priests by Men-
delssohn was the outstanding num-
ber of the program. In it the players
forgot everything but the martial!
strains of the number, and as a re-
sult gave us a really vivid and mast-
erful interpretation. They repeated
it for an encore, playing without any
direction, thereby proving that high
school directors have just cause for
saying that the students watch their
music, not their conductor. This is
one case, however, in which there was
no cause for alarm.
