Health Committee Sees Air
Transportation as Dis
ease Contributor.
Belief that here exists today a defi
nite menace d another appearance of
yellow fever t the United States was
expressed yeserday by the conference
of State andterritorial health officers
In recommenling steps to prevent such
a possibility by adoption of specific
regulations.
At the sane time the conference was
told by Dr Bolivar J. Lloyd, medical
director of;he Pan-American Sanitary
Bureau, ofa new vaccine for prevent
ing the dtease is being tested at the
Rockefellc Institute for Medical Re
search. 1 has proved effective in pre
venting yllow fever in laboratory ani
mals anf tests will be made to deter
mine wtfther the protection it gives
to ioweranimals also will be afforded
to man
The onference adopted the report
of its Committee on Yellow Fever,
which uggested regulations to govern
aircraft passengers and crews at ports
of enty to or departure from coun
tries shpected of being infected with
yellow fever. The committee also
urged that the Public Health Service
develot a procedure for intensive con
trol d yellow fever transmission in
any ommunity upon discovery of a
ease >f the disense and that State
healtl organizations co-operate to
mainam an effective surveillance of
air tavelers from infected areas.
Wlile no cases of this disease have
occured in this country for 30 years
or npre, the committee said, the de
velopnent of rapid transportation by
air ind the discovery of infected wild
mo&eys in the interior Jungles of
Bouh America and Africa “forces us
to the conclusion that there exists
tody a definite menace of its intro
riution, which will increase directly
in proportion to the further develop
mnt of air travel, particularly be
tween North and South America.”
Persons regularly visiting infected
a pas, as well as airship crews operat
irg to such areas, should be required
tc be vaccinated against the disease,
tie oommittee said, adding that vac
cne for general immunization is not
mailable now.
Dr. Lloyd, in discussing the question,
Bud the most important development
fc the problem in recent years was the
dscovery of the so-called jungle type
i the disease.

LAW STUDENTS TO TAKE
COURSE IN DETECTION
“Scientific Methods of Proof” to
Deal With Police Tactics
in Evidence.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 8.—Lawyers will
become detectives under a new plan
of the Northwestern University School
of Law.
Charles T. McCormick, acting dean,
announced yesterday a course in
‘‘scientific methods of proof" would
be compulsory for first year law stu
dents beginning with the next term.
He said that so far as he knew, it
would be unique among law school
curricula.
The staff of the scientific crime de
tection laboratory, which is a part of
the school of law, will teach the
course, and the facilities of the labora
tory,, famous for its contributions to
modem police methods, will be avail
able. McCormick said.
The technical work will be supple
mented by study of the legal status
and application of that type of evi
dence.
Defiance Strike Off.
All the girls involved in the strange
reformatory strike are out of the hos
pital, the authorities of Budapest,
Hungary, announce. The defiance
began when one of the girls suddenly
swallowed her toothbrush. Immedi
ately 70 other girls swallowed theirs,
and many others, not having tooth
brushes handy, gulped down hairpins,
shoehorns and other gadgets. And
all because they had been forbidden to
associate with the soldiers at a nearby
military camp. In a number of cases
serious operations were necessary. The
girls have decided to obey orders.
