The ex¬periments were conducted by Dr. A.L. Tatum of the pharmacological lab¬oratory under the auspices of theAmerican Medical association andwere performed on all types of ani¬mals. The results of the experimentsare expected to cause a reduction inthe number of deaths that occurevery year due to accidental poison¬ing by cocaine.A careful study of the problemby Dr. Tatum has revealed death incocaine poisoning to be due essen¬tially to the failure of the respiratorycenter in the medulla. Cocaine poi¬sons the brain as well as the respira¬tory center. Proceeding on the the¬ory that if the manifestations ofbrain poisoning are prevented byadequate methods, the respiratorycenter is made far more resistant.Dr. Tatum administered in a hightype of laboratory animal, under aheavy dose of cocaine, veronal andparaldehyde, drugs which depressStatistics ShowDrop in DiseaseFatality RateDiphtheria has become immensely lessof a scourge to Giicago and the wholecountry; typhoid fever as a fatal dis¬ease has been brought under control;scarlet fever has been attacked with newweapons, and its eventual defeat is fore¬seen.Thse are some of the chapters in “TheConquest of Disease,’’ which is to bedescribed next Monday evening, Jan.11, in Orchestra hall, by Prof. EdwinO.

Dr. Jordan is a well known in¬vestigator and teacher, and is frequentlyconsulted by the city of Chicago andother municipalities regarding publichealth problems.To Discuss BacillusDr. Jordan will present vividly,both in his remarks and by stereopticonpictures, the work of bacteriologists inidentifying and foiling the tiny but dead¬ly enemies of health. In nearly everycase it is the discovery of the bacillus—a discovery generally made in the labor¬atory of some university—that has madepossible the “conquest.” Thus, Dr.Jordan will show graphically the curveof the death rate from tuberculosis, from1812 to 1911, with a sharp and consist¬ent droj) beginning in 1882, when thetubercle bacillus was discovered.Through the nding of the diothevi*(Continued on page 4), k • >. / [ELECT CARR ASPSYCH LEADER/ ■ ■Treasureship Also Goes ToChicago Prof.Prof. Harvey Carr of the Univer¬sity’s psychology department hasbeen elected president of the Ameri¬can Psychological Association.

It has thus become evi¬dent that the influence of the higherbrain centers exert a greater dele¬terious effect on the low medullarycenters. Removal of the influence ofthe higher brain functions by ap¬propriate means permits of moresuccessful treatment of acute cocainepoisoning in animals with higherbrain development. The investigatorshave every reason to believe, it isstated, that acute cocaine poisoningin man should be still more amen¬able to this treatment than is thecase in lower animals.Continue TestsThe investigators conducted theirexperiments in the old laboratory ofphysiological chemistry and pharma¬cology at the University.

Approved of the League’s decisionin awarding the Mosul oil fields toIrag under British mandate wasthe highlight in an interview givenat the University yesterday by Prof.Quincy Wright, of the Department ofPolitical Science who has just re¬turned from a survey of the man¬date question in the near east.“Iraq under this mandate recog¬nizes the Kurds, a race which Tur¬key claims is essentially Turkish,”said Prof. Wright. “Turkey is afraidof this autonomy because she believesthat eventually the Kurds in Turkeywill join the nucleus already formedand a revolutionary movement willensue. She continually shouts war,but a substantial British loan wouldprobably bring quiet.”Fears RevolutionsProf. Wright also explained whyTurkey was interested in getting intoIraq, depicting the worry which at¬tend the recognition given the Kurdsby the British, a situation which theTurks believe holds possibilities offuture revolution within their ownboundaries.In the ‘ meantime, according toProf. Wright, the Kurds in Iraq areperfectly content to remain underthe British mandate. The action ofthe British has been, since the revolu¬tion of 1920, he said, in accordancewith the principle of following thewishes of the native peoples, and theKurds, the main element in the pop¬ulation of the Mosul Villaget, wouldprefer to remain with Iraq providedthe British mandate continues TheMosul question has been settled,therefore, with the least possiblefriction, despite the fact that thechairman of the League’s committeeof investigation was a Hungarianand therefore slightly favorable tothe Turks.Outlines Turkey’s StandThe Turks have had their eyes onIraq right along, because; first, theTurkish national pact defined Turk¬ish boundaries and later includedthis area; it has become, consequent¬ly, a point of honor with the Turks;second, the Turks have an exceeding¬ly large Kurdish population whichthey claim is essentially Turkish;(Continued on page 4)DAILY MAROON DRIVEFOR SUBSCRIPTIONSLAUNCHED BY STAFUpon the completion of a quarterfaithful work in the Circulation depaiment. the following men have been slected to continue as freshmen assi:ants: Dan Costigan, John Crabbs, JGidkitz, Sol Harris, and John RackoGeorge Gruskin, who becomes a junithis quarter, has been advanced to Clasifted ad manager, but also continuesassistant Circulation director.Efforts are being made to secure mosubscriptibers to the Maroon, and tlentire department as well as campsaleswomen are anxious to sell subscritions.

The department then tellsthe student that it will notify him if anything turns up.We should like to see a bureau or service equipped to do morethan this. We should like to see an employment bureau (call it whatyou will) that will prescribe for the student. That will scientificallydiscover for what profession or business the student is best fitted.What his natural abilities and talents seem to point toward.Perhaps the department could do more than even that. It mightprescribe his course of study, and be the means of directing his ener¬gies in the shortest route to the end which he might have attainedafter a series of unfortunate and costly experiences.We do not believe that the employment bureau should have onhand a staff of palm-readers; but we hope that some day the Univer¬sity can actively help its students to answer the question “Where can1 get a job?”THE CLUBS CO-OPERATETHE FRESHMEN AT WORKCAMPUS club women have formed themselves into a corps ofsales-persons in an effort to promote Cap and Gown sales. At ameeting of the Inter-club council, representatives of the various clubsdecided to join in aiding one of the prominent activities on campus.As one body, these women are making an endeavor to reach ev¬eryone. Plans have been made for the systematic canvassing of fac¬ulty, alumnae and students.These women are making a valiant effort to aid in the sellingof the yearbook. They need co-operation, however, from the entirestudent body. Will they get it?'PHE freshmen are on a working basis. Green caps, stunts in theCircle, a class council instead of prematurely-elected officers andthe leadership of Charles Anderson—all these have done their work;and now the freshmen are doing things.Next Monday they will make nominations for permanent officers.Next Friday they will hold a big banquet in the Commons, and meetthe candidates there. A Freshman banquet is something new. It isa sign of ljfe. It shows that the new class is organized,—that itsmembers know each other, have learned to work in unison, and areready for action.We owe thanks to The Green Cap, to the class council, to Ander¬son—and to the freshmen.Dorothy J.

The loss of Mc-Farlane, Bourke. and Russel from lastyear’s team, will be keenly felt. AlsoSpence, the crack half miler, may notcompete because of poor hkealth.Cusack* to StarIn the two mile the coaches will relyon Owens, crack cros country runner,Hegovic and Dugan.

Coach Eck predictsthis opening meet to lie a close one. anda difficult one for his team, in spite ofthe rumor that the Hoosiers are one ofthe weakest of the Big Ten squads. Justhow effective the short training periodhas been in the conditioning of his menwill be ascertained in this encounter,and the success of the Maroons will de¬pend a lot on this fact. Change Swim RulesIn Conference MeetsThe regulations pertaining tothe slippery art of swimming havebeen changed for the coming sea¬son. The plunge event havingbeen replaced by the new medleyrelay, which in turn consists ofthree hundred yard sprints incrawl, breastroke and backstrokefashion. The Illinois captain electof the swimming crew is an ex¬pert at the plunge but will prob¬ably have to resign his position inaccordance with the new ruling.The two twenty yard crawl hasbeen doubled thus making it nec¬essary for the men to swim fourhundred and forty yards, in lieuof the former distance. The bestknown alteration of course is theintroducing of the Water Pologame into the Big Ten Confer¬ence, to take the place of lastyear’s wrestling water basketballcombination. PREP TRACKMENWILL COMPETEIN MEETS HEREj Annual Invitation MeetsAttract Suburban andCity Stars toWHAT of IT?ffiteonpc HOUpgNSTIf^Each year the Universityholds two great national inter¬scholastic meets, one in basketballand one in track, and in addition itpromotes, if memory serves, track,swimming and tennis competitionsfor the high schools of the county.Northwestern university floats a na¬tional high school indoor track meetyearly, and the annual state trackand basketball meets are run off atthe University of Illinois.Swim Coach CallsFor New MaterialCoach MacGillivrav wishes to callforth the attention of any men whoare interested in swimming the back-stroke event, preferably sophomoresor upperclassmen. The backstrokecrew has been depleted through in¬eligibility and is now the weakestpoint dtf the Maroon natators.The men that showed up well inthe past intramural swimming con¬tests, are especially urged to try outfor this Varsity berth position, thechance being of the best for anymen who have ambitions of wearingthe campus letter in future years.Friday night next will be the firstappearance of the tank team in ac¬tion this year, when the Varsity willdefend itself against the combinedstrength of the Freshman and Alum¬ni teams. There will be no admissioncharge. This will be one of the bestopportunities for the student body towitness their swimming representa¬tives since with exception of the In¬diana meet the 16th of ttys month,the next home meet will be late inFebruary. The gentlemen who are concernedwith running these various competi¬tions among the three universities,when asked what the purpose or in¬tention of their school in carrying onsuch activities for the high schoolathletes is, have always been wont totalk somewhat vaguely about thegreat traditions of amateur sport, thebroadening effect of ueh meets on themind of the growing boy, and togive other impersonal and altruisticexplanations for the being of suchhigh school gatherings. Meanwhile,it is an open secret that the realreason the universities spend timeand money on the high school boysis that they expect that a few ofthe athletes may come to their col¬lege. Following its custom of encouraging and promoting amateur sportsin high school and prep institutions, the University athletic de¬partment will hold its seventh annualcity and suburban indoor field andtrack meet within the next month.Three separate meefs will be held,the first on January 16th, the secondon the 29th and the third on the12th of February.These meets usually bring out thecream of the track talent in Cookcounty and this year will be no ex¬ception. The coaches of a great num¬ber of the suburban schools have hadtheir men priming all fall in prepar¬ation for this event.The men will be divided into ajunior and senior class. All thoseunder sixteen will compose the ju¬niors and they will have the sameevents but of course the competitionwill not be so fast. There will beeleven events in each class consistingof the following:50 yard dash50 yard low hurdles50 yard high hurdles220 yard dash440 yard run.880 yard run.1mile run8 lap relay for seniors4 lap for juniors12 lb. shot for seniors80 lb. for juniorsPole vaultHigh jump Cage Team PracticesFor Hawks In SecretCoach Nels Norgren is takingno chances on somebody coppingoff the signals of his proteges andhas ordered secret practice forevery day this week. Then with¬out the gazes of the inquisitivespectators to distract the team, theplayers engage in mastering newplays till long past the supperhour.The game with Iowa looms largein the mind of Capt. Alyea and hismates and if practice means any¬thing the Hawkeyes are due for astrong battle. Norgren will relyon the same lineup that worked inthe Drake game, to pit againstCoach Barry’s charges on Satur¬day night. The reserves, using theIowa style of play, worked againstthe varsity and Norgren was pleas¬ed with the strong defense of theMaroon guards.WRESTLING TEAMGAINS STRENGTH“FROSH TRACK SQUADIS STRONGEST SINCEWAR”—LONNIE STAGGIt has alwuys been somewhat ofa puzzle to me why Chicago getsso little in the way of athletic ma¬terial out of these meets. Welcomedcordially every year by Mr. Stagg,fed on what we nmy call the fat ofthe fraternity houses during theirstay, well housed, taken to thestockyards and other points of in¬terest, shot full of talk by double¬gripping handshakers as to themerits of the dear old school, theathletes still persist in turning theirfootsteps away from the Midway to¬wards such centers of learning asOberlin, Denison, Coe, Beloit, An¬tioch, and even Illinois. This year’s Freshman Track Squadis heralded by Coach Lonnie Staggas one of the most powerful GreenShirt aggregations since the war. Ifpredictions run true, some of themen on this year’s yearling squad willso bolster up the varsity hopes nextyear as to give Chicago one of thestrongest four-mile relay teams inthe country.These are “Sparky” Williams, theHyde Park star, who should reel offthe mile in about 4:25 next year,Bourke, who placed second to JoieRay in a recent newspaper meet, andVerg Gist, state champion in thescholastic half-mile, who can alsorun the mile in about 4:30. These(Continued on page 4) The burdens of Coach Voores aregradually becoming heavier, for dayby day the ranks of the wrestlers be¬come more numerous. The latest,, re¬cruits are three numeral men fromthe Freshman football veterans,Losch, Baker and Herschfield byname. The addition of these and sun¬dry others who have recently ap¬peared, has inflated the wrestlingsquad to husky proportions.Tabulations according to individ¬ual events show many weak pointsthough for in only one event can aconference place be counted on. Gra¬ham in the 137 pound class is ex¬pected to shine in the big meet. Fivemen are struggling for first place onthe team among the heavy weights;three men are doing the same in the147 pound class; four are out forthe 117 pound position and so ondown the line. The loss of Ball, whograduated last year is badly feltamong the 127’s but several aspir¬ants are striving manfully to fill hjsplace. Altogether only two of lastyear’s men are left but the coachexpects to develop a fighting teamfrom the abundance of new men.The final schedule is as follows:Feb. 6—Minnesota hex-e.Feb. 13—Wisconsin at Madison.Feb. 23—Illinois, here.Feb. 27—Iowa, at Iowa.Conference finals at Purdue..

The average death ratein 1906-10, even after the canal wasopened, as high as 15.8. But in 1924,largely owing to chlorination of thewater supply, the death rate had fallento only 1.6 per hundred thousand. Thiswas the outcome of laboratory workdealing with the antiseptic action of cer¬tain chemicals on the typhoid germs.Dr. Jordan wlil discuss also the workof D^s.
