[nstitutes Accomodate Health
Officers Unable to Attend
Summer Session.
GIVE WEEK-END COURSE
Policing of Mouth to be Subject
of Dr. W. W. Peters' Talk
to Second Institute.
"Policing of the Mouth," and
"Mastodon, Man, and Microbes,"
are two lectures that Dr. W. W.
Peters, director of the Health Serv-
ice of Cleanliness institute, New
York, will deliver on July 11 and 12
as part of the next Health Insti-
tute in which famous out-of-state
health lecturers are invited by the
University.
Dr. Peters was director of the
Council of Health Education in
China for ten years, where he was
instrumental in introducing mod-
ern public health work. He is a
Fellow of the American Public
Health association.
Cost of Disease Stressed
"Considering that the aggregate
cost of disease is approximately
the same as that of education and
some 2,000,000 people in the United
States are ill enough to require
medical service at any given time,"
said Dr. Peters in an interview, "the
importance of public health may
even be measured in terms of dol-
lars and cents. The toll in human
happiness, in reduced vitality, in
heartache and physical misery may
not be measured by any yard stick
known to the science of measure-
ment. This in some slight measure
defines the field over which the
public health worker stands guard,
the first line of society's defence
against sickness and disease."
To instruct public health officers
as to their duties and to keep them
fully acquainted with the most re-
cent developments in the field of
public health special courses are
offered by the University every
summer.
Scheduled for Week-ends
Particularly for the accommoda-
tion of those health officers, who
cannot attend the regular Summer
Session week-end institutes of
health have been organized. These
intensive courses will cover two
full days every week till the end of
the Summer Session and to make
these institutes as valuable as pos-
sible and to add to their general
interest, national and international
authorities on public health have
been secured to lecture.
The co-operation given by other
Universities, the United States
Government and public and private
institutions of health lends greatly
to the success of these institutes.
These institutes are being held for
the fourth year this summer.

fice, priced $3.75. Holders of season

met with a critical success in New
York and enjoyed a long run in
Chicago under the title of "The
I Lady Next Door." The original
production, which appeared in 1926,
was produced by Arthur Hopkins.
There have been many attempts
on the part of New York critics,
especially Robert Benchley, to en-
courage a revival of this play.

Jean Mermoz Starts 1800 Milej
Hop From Brazil to French
Equatorial Africa.
WEATHER DELAYS START
600 Pounds of Air Mail Carried
to Test Feasibility of
Regular Service.
(By Associated Press)
NATAL, Brazil, July 8.-Roaring
down the links of Lake Bomfim in
the seaplane with which he made
the first westward South Atlantic
flight, Jean Mermoz, crack French
air mail pilot, took off this after-
noon for a non-stop flight back to
Africa.
Eighteen hundred miles of ocean
separated him from his objective,
Dekar, in French Equatorial Af-
rica. The South Atlantic never has
been successfully crossed from
west to east, and Mermoz, if suc-
cessful, will win his laurels as a
pioneer pilot on this flight.
The honors, however, are only
incidental to the attempt primar-
ily intended to show the feasibil-
ity of regular air 'mail service ac-
ross the South Atlantic between
the old world and the new.
Out for Record.
Mermoz, who got away at 4:32
p. m. (2:32 p. m. c. s. t.) hoped to
better the time of his first flight.
On May 12-13 he crossed from St.
Louis, Senegal, in 20 hours 16 min-
utes, making the first air mal trip
under bad weathersconditions.
For two days the pilot and his
radio operator, Leopold, Gimme,
and his navigator, Jean Abry, have
been waiting on Lake Bombim, 20
miles from Natal, for favorable
weather.
Conditions for the take-off were
excellent on Sunday, but delay in
bringing the air mail up from the
south held him motionless and yes-
terday rain and fog did the same.
For hours he and his comrades
today sat in their seaplane on
Lake Bombin waiting for a wind,
which they had to have to get the
big seaplane and its 600 pounds of
air mail off the water.
Late this afternoon it came, and
Mermoz rose from the water at
4:32 p. m. The plane and its load
weighed nearly six tons.
Heads for Sea.
A few minutes later he flew over
the Aero-Postal company's land-
ing field in Natal and waved to his
fellow pilots of the coastal air line
below. He then headed straight
out for the Island Fernando, Nor-
onha, Brazilian penal colony, 150
miles from the coast. Three dis-
patch boats of the Aero-Postal
company, which in normal times
speed across the south Atlantic in
relays with the combination Air
and ocean mail were stationed
along his route from Natal to De-
kar. They are standing by to as-
sist the fliers of any trouble de-
velops.
Registration at Union
to Continue This Week
Registration for summer mem-
bership in the Union will continue
at the main desk in the Union lob-
by throughout the remainder of
the week. All men students enroll-
ed in the University are eligible
for membership privileges. There
is no additional charge for regis-
tration. At the time of applica-
tion, each person must present his
treasurer's receipt showing that he
has paid University tuition.

The water of the river, pouring,
over the edge of a layer of lime-I
stone, creates a great whirlpool
which cuts away the soft rock be-
neath, undermining that hard lay-
er so that the edge gradually
c r u mble s away into the pool.
Through this action, the cataract
has cut the gorge from the Lewis-
ton escarpment to the present po-
sition.
At present, he said, the cataract
on the Canadian side is cutting
back about five feet each year. At
the beginning of the Christian era,
he estimates, it was about two
miles farther down the river.
Present indications, he said, are
that the Canadian falls are going!
to cut back and "capture" the
American falls, leaving the lime-
stone shelf on this side high and
dry.

WASHINGTON. July 8-The days
of Claudius Huston as chairman of
the Republican National committee
are nearing an end.
After numerous councils of war
at the capitol today, responsible
party leaders determined that if
Mr. Huston did not resign shortly
they would launch a movement for
his removal. Meanwhile considera-
ble surprise was occasioned tonight
by the report from Vermont that
Earl Kinsley, national committee-
man from that state, has been re-
quested by President Hoover to be-
come acting chairman of that com-
mittee.
Sen. Fess, of Ohio, has been fa-
vored most as successor to Huston.
Determined to Remain
After informing his friends yes-
terday that he was not resigning
now nor at Thursday's meeting of
national committee officers, Mr.
Huston left the city.
News of his determination to
keep the party reins stirred Hu-
ston's opponents to renewed ac-
tivities and there was a constant
round of conferences at the capitol.
JameE Francis Burke, counsel of
the national committee, hastened
0 the city ard conferred with
Prcwiclont Hoover and later with
party leaders.
The party leaders recalled what
they called "promises" that Mr. Hu-
ston would resign the national
chairmanship as soon as Congress
adjourned.
Lobbying Found Questionable
The house members facing re-
election this year have been lead-
ing the movement against Huston
since testimony given the Senate
lobby committee showing that he
solicited funds for the M u s c 1e
Shoals lobby of the Tennessee Riv-
er Improvement association and
that he used these funds before
turning them over to the associa-
Lion.
Other factors have contributed to
Huston's disfavor at the capitol. He
was sued for a debt just about the
time he took office and that caused
some discomfiture. Members of
Congress have complained that he
has not been active, too.
It was believed here tonight the
show-down with Huston would
come at Thursday's meeting. It is
known that some of the officers
who will attend that meeting are
determined to inform Huston of the
dissatisfaction against him.
