?i CURE FOR DIABETES Senim Discovered by Dr. Banting of : University of Toronto (Philadelphia Ledger). After ? year? of scientific search for a remedy wr diabetes, physiol ' oglsts at th* University of Toronto have prepared a serum which is pronounced an "absolute , cure for the disease." * A small quantity of the serum - was sent to the University of .Penn sylvania a;week~ago for physicians' to use experimentally* on diabetic * patients.. Yesterday after several injeeitohs had been administered to three*'patients-* 'Vr.' Alfred Stenger. professor of medieine, pronounced' the experiments an unqualified suc cess.

Treatment used by physicians before this time included the in jection Into ihe . bloo^ ' of the pan-: crea"$ " of animals and. / 'infb;the stoWach hy feeding.". Physicians''at* j the TThiyersity Hospital yesterday said the' results' of that treatment for; diabetes had never . been suc cessful ' ' pahcreatic juice contains two erenaents,"' it was explained. '?They are different types of secre-' >ticT^".?ne goes into the intestinal tract and stomach to aid digestion, ; and the other is forced into the I blood to burn the sugars of the ^h?dy: ' * "When the secretion intended for the* blood fails or falls short of ;^^ :roinplete production, the. sugar re Tnains. in "the system.. The oxida tion of the sugar is essential to rid the body of various fatty acids. If ?hese persist, acidosis results and death^fpll'ows.'.' What causes a degeneration of the 'Islands of the Langershans" in .the' pancreas Is unknown, it was deelared; but the. degeneration is analogous to hardening;of" the .ar \ feriea. some change in. the cell structure of the" bodtty: tissues, _ which cannot be accounted for! but *jchIch''results in a breaking down of the health. The :nject""on of ordinary pan creas in the blood, heretofore used <o treat diabetes, was. unsuccess ful because that. element pr part.of the secretion intended: for the stomaoh*' dfge^iprt "destroyed the other etemeht for the. burning of sugar in the blood. . . ',. D^V Jfenting of tixe University pf jTord'ntp recognized that fact and Several years ago announced his mtehtion of beginning experiments to remove the stomach juice from the rest of the' pancreatic secre tion.. His search was brought to fruition only recently and that part of the pancreatic, secretion he sep arat ed is the same serum possess ed JEy the University, of Pennsyl vania.' "* The announcement of the dis covery has attracted many irten of national prominence to Toronto whore they " have received' injec tions of the serum, one physician said' yesterday. In each case they have reported an immediate im provement. The serum was described by phy sicians administering it to be un satisfactory in some ways. As much as five , or six cubic centi meters must be injected, in some eases before a meal to have any appreciable effect in the com bustion of sugars. Experimenta tion must still bVcarried on to con centrate the panccreatic secretion to some lesser quantity. According to Dr. Banting, all -treatment of feeding pancreas had been a failure/ He concluded itB was because of the destruction oi the blood secretion by the gastric secretion. Whether the degener ation of the "Islands of Langer An*," responsible for the pro duction of the blood secretion (the lack of which Caused diabetes), W;*s caused by n serm. a poison or ??me other agency, was of second ary importance. Physicians^ do not ye,t know the reason for the de generation of those glad tissue.*?. It was seen, however, that it some means of separating the two secretions could be devised and the internal secretion of the pancre-is for the blood removed alone from some animal, it could be injected in a human being suffering dii betes with some likelihood of im provement Accordingly Dr. Banting operat ed on a hog, tied , up the duct or passage leading from the pancreas to the stomach, and thus cut off .the supply of pancreatic juice ;n-i tended for that purpose. Follow ing the general law of nature, any function failing into disuse tends to' degenerate. Although the. hog had been perfectly ^ healthy when operated upon, after a few weeks that part of the pancreas leading to the tied stomach duct began to denegerate. Only that part of the pancreas which supplied the blood with its Suid continued to funcr tion. After a long time Mr. Ban--' ting removed the pancreas from the animal and extracted a pure sample of the internal secretion. Although the. serum is. said to .be. far from ,perfect, physicians at the University are confident that witfr its ^discovery an inestimable boon hiitf.been S*yen.mankind. BIG ROAD-mJILDiNG "PROGRAM AHEAD \ '? Fifteen to' twenty ^ears of build in^:-^6?' roads lie - ahead 'of the United States.'

The. plan will be. presented to enable , the'., board to proceed authoritatively with, its work of devising aids for . schools ?nd colleges to which road-butid ers of the country, are turning fqr competent h igh way :': engineers. .". 'Officials of the bureau place" the aggregate cost of the federal-aid program alone at about $3,000,000, 000, spread over the twenty-ye?r period. They base this\ estimate on an average cost of $17,000 per ?mile.. The average, cost, in turn, takes, into consideration all class es of improved roadways from the cheapest to the most expensive., types. Approximately one-third of the proposed system, or 60,000 .miles of; improved highways, al ready are either built or building. The program is. a new one. Up to. comparatively recent years, road-building in the United States had beer, conducted. without spe cial regard to a national system. Highways had been constructed i where needed without considering whether they.would link up in the. moist effective manner with; the whole network of^ roads to' be spread over the nation. Engineers had sought more to meet imme diate and local demands than the broader requirements of the states and nation. The present federal-aid road-, building ^programi officials of the bureau state, will contemplate the .constructidfo of only stich roads as fit'into the national program and contribute to the national system. At the same time the roads will be so selected as' to serve, the most important local requirements. With marked modifications, the system adopted in building the railways of the country will be oorne in mind, i in. the construction of the coun f try's^ new highways. There will be ? main " lines of highway communi cation between centers and thou sands of miles of feeder r??ds, reaching back into', the more [sparsely settled regions and In the rich, agricultural sections, to tap I areas whose population, and " pro ducts will, flow over the new system. ! Xew roads, will.-be planned .and ?built---thousands of miles of rhem I?where they will fit in most advan tageously with the enti'e program. [The bureau is continuing its re i search work into most efficient {methods of road-building, includ ing the character and wearing power of materials, resisting qiial i ities of varying suk-soils, etc,, and has amassed a considerable store.of valuable information all' of whien will be available for the high way engineer tomorrow, whom the board is seeking^o .have, educated in practical and modern methods. Law on Cotton Stalks? (Laurens Advertiser). ,To overcome all obstacles and to guarantee a coordinated .effort on the part of all the farmers, it has occurred to The Advertiser that the legislature might enact a law making it a criminal offense forj any landowner to leave cotton stalks in his fields after a certain; date which may appear reasonable.' For the landowner who rents out \ his land, provision may be made for him to transfer the responsibil ity by incorporating in his rent contract a provision that the rent er shall plow under his stalks as a part of his contract or become the responsible party.

MONEY CRISIS IN GERMANY Foreign Financial Ex perts Declare That Situation is Most Serious Since the .Armistice Berlin, Oct. 25 (By _ the. Asso ciate Press").?The h>?t ?**?w nf November, which once brought revolution to Germany, again may prove.a fateful section of the cal endar for.the republic, in the opin ion, of, . .newspaper commentators discussing today the simultaneous announcements that .Germany has invited foreign financial experts here to advise her on the question of 'stabilizing the mark and that the reparations commission also is comirig to Berlin. The coincidence of the two ra test developments in Germany's turbulent financial situation, says the Boersen Courier, makes.it look as if the authorities on both sides were "trying to beat each other to it" on some definite .decision The newspaper holds that the gov ernment's invitation to the inter national experts is at least, a clev rer political move, since the affairs 'to be dealt with* arc such as the foreign countries will take a hand in anyway. The fact that representatives of outside powers have been asked t? iook over con ditions for themselves, the journal adds, will make it easier for Ger ;many later to oppose financial su pervision. .The Boersen Zeitung thinks "it rings like a bad' joke to hear that the-very moment when the fall in the mark has driven German finances to the edge of an abyss, the reparations commission, under initiative of M. Barth?u (the French chairman of the commis sion), is breaking its head , over the question how to squeeze a couple more billions Of paper out of the German people through new taxes-" "We fear that the efforts of Sir John Bradbury (the British repre sentative on the commission) in the face of such charlatans are. ex periments directed toward a futile object," the newspaper concludes. ' The Lokal Anzeiger believes the inviting of the foreign experts to Germany will retard rather than expedite an improvement in the ,mark. It declares that the best German advice must already have been summoned. The newspaper j calls attention, however, to the! fact that the visitors who have ! been invited to discuss the situation are neutral and unbiased political ly. The Tageblatt says . it under stands thevinvitation was issued af ter feelers had been put out abroad^, and that preparations for the study by. these experts of the situation have long been under way j^bt M* Gwper Jr. Heads State Fair Unanimously Re-elected Pres ident of the Society?Pol icies Commended Columbia, Oct. 25.?:EIection of officers and adoption of resolutions commending the pilots' of the ?Greater State'Fair for the success of the rejuvenated enterprise were the outstanding points in the an nual m?ting of the South Carolina Agricultural ahd Mechanical So ciety here tonight.

A resolution by W. A. Clark, of Columbia, expressing the thanks of; the Society for the marked im provements noted at the Fair grounds was unanimously adopted. President Cooper stated that approximately $30,000 had been collected fiom the membership drive, of which $5,000 was from a direct appropriation from the state. Buildings to the value of $36,000 had been erected and past debts of between $7.000 and $8,000 from the proceeds of the campaign had been paid. The executive commit tee, he stated, was going slow, and not putting in improvements un til it had in sight the money to pay for them. A resolution of thanks to the wo men of the State lor their coopera tion was introduced by Judjre M. S. Whaley and adopted. Seven hundred new life members were elected.

Two Xew Words, "Czechoslovakia has frequently been mentioned as a conspicuous silver lining behind. Eurobe' war cloud: with tbe coming here of di plomatic .representatives from new born Latvia that country may win recognition as another," says a bul letin from the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washing ton. X>. C. "For a tiny Baltic state, only a little larger than West Virginia, to battle both the Bolshevists and the Prussians out of its borders, then to disarm the Germans in its midst by constitutional means is an achievement. Even allowing for a strategic location and for 'breaks' of political luck. -Latvia's persistence and Yankee-like ingenu ity compel attention. "Latvia and the Letts already are distinctive. According to Dr. Ed win A. Grosvenor's classification of the races of Europe the Letts and the Lithuanians stand alone, as a separate stem of the great Slav family tree that splits into numer ous branches among "the Eastern Slavs, the Western Slays, and the South, or Jugo-SlavV. Early Allied Recognition ' "Latvia received its credentials as a nation from the Allied Su preme Council almost two years ago. It earned this early recog nition as a reward, in part, for al lying itself with Poland against Russia, while Esthonia, to the north, made a friendly treaty with the Soviet Government, and Li thuania, to the south, engaged in a dispute with-Poland over a boun dary 'question. "Mere mention of these three new states indicates how the Baltic S2a manor has been subdivided into new national building lots. Here where the old Russian and derman Em pires and Sweden held complacent sway, an assortment of new national neighbors suddenly "starts house keeping?Finland, Esthonia, Lat via, Lithuania, Poland, with its pre cious corridor to the sea, and the free city of Danzig separating the German republic from West Prus sia. Sweden remains, as does Den mark, whose small frontage now be comes important amid such a rapid waterfront development.' Strange ly enough giant Russia retains only a right-of-way?to preserve real es tate terminology ? and emerges now from Petrograd, through gulf that separates Esthonia from Fin land and which bears the latter's name. Introducing Two Xew Words' j "A cohsideratiph of Latvia \ brings two new words into play? j words which, like intelligensia,. may! be missing from many dictionaries, but which go a long way toward ex plaining about the new republic' "One of these words is 'Bait.' The word does not refer, as might be suspected, to any indigenious resident of the former Baltic prov inces of Russia. Just the opposite. A Bait is a non-Lett, descendant of the Brethren of the SWord, an aptly j named band of German merchants who settled atong the Gulf of Riga.j near the present Latvia capitaX Ri-j ga, and started in to convert or kill] the Letts. Then and there the I Letts gave an inkling of their inde-j pendent temper. They drove out the medieval missionaries', immers-! ed themselves again in the waters of the Dvina where they had been! baptized at the point of German swords, and sent the wafers back to! Germany as evidence that they re- j nounced the new religion. "Then and later Latvia shook i off German political control but welcomed economic cooperation of] Germans. Riga became a promi nent member of the Hanseaticj League in the thirteenth century j and kept a prominent place in world trade until 1914 when it stood: second only to St..Petersburg among Baltic cities in its shipping. "Through the centuries of poli-1 tical seesaw the German merchants in Latvia accomplished what invad ers could not achieve. They gained control of the land and thus of the local governments and held a po- j sit ion which has been compared to that of the landed gentry in Eng land of ft century ago. This squire archy of the Baltic comprises the Baits. And so enlightened was their tyranny that when, about the time of our Civil War, the Tsar be gan to Russify the Baltic provinces the I^etts and their neighbors re sisted.

Stevenson is in town for a few days from campaigning in the Eighth and Tenth North Carolina districts', where the Republicans are making a fight to elect Congressmen. He states that the proposed trade whereby Democrats would vote for the ship subsidy, in return for the passage of the bill to lease the Muscle Shoals plant to Henry Ford, did not appeal to him. He says that his Democracy is not for sale, and any Democrat who entered such an unholy alliance should be retired. The Ford offer, he says, will ultimately be accepted with out a compromise or surrender of principle. The agriculture of the country demands it and will put it over. The ship subsidy, on the other hand, he says, is pernicious in every respect and cannot be passed. It loads $75,000.000 an nually on the people for the ope-, ration of ships, and it is estimated I that $30.000.000 of this will go to Lhe United States Steel Corporation and the Standard Oil Company for carrying their own products on Lheir own ships.

Oct. 24.? j Supreme Court Justice Morschaus er today awarded John E; Mack, guardian of Baby Guy ? Stillman, $25.000 for his services in .defend ing the infant against the charge of illegitimacy brought by James ?Stillman, millionaire banker; in' his suit for divorce from Mrs. Arfne U. Stillmam He also allowed Mr. Mack $4,9.01.11 which the "guar dian reported he . had .expended'.in Guy's behalf. The .court allowed ReTeree Dan iel J. Gleason, who heard. evidenfcs in the case, compensation at the rate of $150 a day for 148 day? de vpted to the case?a total of $22,-" 200. ? Justice Morschauser/also signed today the final order in Stttlnaan's divorce suit, denying him a divorce and affirming.. the. legitimacy of Baby' Guy, whom Stillman had al leged to be the son of Fred Beau vais, Indian guide, who was nam ed co-resppn.dent. ? The order held that Stillman. had failed to .prove Mrs, Stillman guilty ot adultry, but that Stillman himself, had been proven guilty .of adultery . with Florence Leeds, former show- girl Counsel for Stillman had fought the granting of compensation to Guardian Mack, contending that he was entitled only to his -''taxable costs" in . the case. They also had contested Referee Gleason's fees as "exorbitant/* In disposing of. these Justice Morschauser recalled that it' had been shown Stillman was willing to spend money "to purchase evi dence,*; referring, to letters alleged to have been .written to Beau va is by Mrs. Stillmah.. for which the banker paid $15,000. ^ "To meet these attacks on fhe infant's name,'' the justice, said, "unusual diligence and industry were required of the guardian. How well he met these require ments is attested by the results." In view of the exceptional sev vices rendered, taking into consid eration Mr. Mack's standing at the bar. the court said, he felt that $25,000 was a moderate fee for his services, extending over1 two ypars. The only matter he had-to de cide with respect to Referee Glea son's fees was whether 148 ,days was too long for him to have spent on the case* Stillman's lawyers conceded it had heen agreed he was to have $150 a day. But they pointed out that the actual trial of the case had only consumed 30 days, and contended that 60 more days should have been sufficient to study the evidence and the law* and to write the report. . The court held 148 days was not an . unreasonable time to use in hearing and digesting the case? the record of which consumed about 2,700 pages. Besides his fees as referee, Mr. Gleason was allowed $1,700 to pay the stenographers who made the record. 'Tour'e mistaken, officer," said the motorist. "I wasn't racing.
