Diabetes, an eminent London surgeon told the Internation al Medical assembly, is increasing in the world as h ? disclosed to some 1.200 delegates a new diagnosis for t he disease from which he himself sneers. Dr. Robert D. Lawrence, phy sician to Kings College hospital, Lon don, Eng., ascribed the increase in diabetes to "a greater abaundance of food in the world." "We are better led than we were 20 years ago, most of us anyhow," ho said. "Obesity induces diabetes and we appear to be eating more than is good for us."

A curious fact that librarians had observed for many years was explained by leather ex perts at the agriculture department. The librarians reported that leather bindings cn books in constant use last longer than those on volumes rarely used. Experiment by K. W. Frey and C. W. Beebe, chemists, con vinced them that salt absorbed from perspiration of the hands is the ex planation. They found that by treat ing leather with common salt they could make it last much longer. This discovery is expected to have commer cial value. We will aDDrecTale our reacTerv Phone details to No. 6.

For the support of 17 state in stitutions for two years the state ! board of control has submitted its biennial budget to Budget Commis sioner Smith for consideration of Gov. Cochran who in turn will make recommendations to the legislature and that body will be unable to in crease his recommendations except by a three-fifths vote of its 43 mem bers. From tax money the board of con trol asks for $3,904,000 for main tenance, a decrease of $99,338 in the amount appropriated by the last leg islature. For capital outlay or new I buildings it asks for $1,404,000, an increase of $551,327 over the amount J appropriated for that purpose by the last legislature. This makes a net increase of $451, 9S9 in tax funds re quested by the board of control. From cash funds from all sources which are appropriated by the legis lature only on estimates, which are sometimes far under the receipts that later come in, the board asks for $1,549,300, which is in excess of the estimated funds appropriated by the last legislature by $1,0S2,55S. Thus if this estimated cash is considered the board has asked for a total of $1,534,547 more than was appro priated from tax and cash funds by the last legislature. The requests of the board total $G.S17,9G3 as compared with $G, 015,130 asked for two years ago. Gov. Cochran recommended $4,235, 780 two years ago, of which only $320,900 was for buildings. In asking for 1,404,000 for cap ital outlay for new buildings, as com pared with $852,673 appropriated by the last legislature, the board re quests $1,392,000 for new buildings and equipment at state institutions, the balance being for costs of salaries and architects fees and expenses in cident to building and equipment for buildings. The board states that! buildings are badly needed at insti tutions, some being dangerous for oc cupancy. The board asks for no new build ings at the Genoa state hospital, property donated by the federal gov ernment to the state and accepted for use as a hospital. The last legisla ture appropriated only $31,085 for repairs and replacements, of which $4,233 was expended the first year of the biennium. The board is leav ing the future of this still unorgan ized institution to the judgment of the governor who files recommen dations with the legislature. The land has been farmed during the past year and the old buildings kept in tact. Some legislators two years ago deemed the buildings formerly used as a federal Indian school as a lia bility instead of an asset. FIREJIEN TO MEET OCT. 20 Columbus, Neb.

"Every time we give an American- child a better place to live In we take another step toward trans forming human liberty from an Idle dream to an inspiring reality," said Senator Robert Wagner. He assert ed he would work for enactment of a federal low rent housing law by the next congress. Mayor LaGuardia laid the cornerstone for the buildings which, in all, will cost $12,783,000.

Demand that State Set Out Court Offenses Accounts Charged with Contempt of Court Say Entitled to Know Specifically Charles Made. Attorneys for Robert H. VanBes kirk, Calvin D. Remington and Charles F. Greenburg, Lincoln ac countants charged by the attorney general with contempt of court, filed a memorandum brief Wednesday with the supreme court asking that the state be required to more specifical ly set out the offenses with which they are charged. They point out that it is well established that an action for contempt is in the nature of a prosecution for a crime and that the rules of strict construction ap plicable in a criminal proceeding are governable therein. The petition alleges that the de fendants pretended to the county com missioners of Saunders county that they advised and counseled with the board with reference to certain al leged rights, claims, choses in action and causes of action of the county al leged to have been found by them in the course of an audit and counseled and advised the board as to their legal rights in the premises. It is argued by the defendants that they are entitled to know the precise acts committed by them which led the attorney general to the conclu sion that they held themselves out as attorneys and pretended to practice law. It is asserted also that the at torney general should be required to state definitely concerning what causes of action advice and counsel were given and concerning parties and corporations, where aa the peti tion deals only in generalities. It is no answer that the defendants knew what they did since if it is necessary to make such an allegation it also becomes necessary to prove it. The defendants, they say, in pre paring their defense ought to know what similar acts the attorney gen eral charges them with committing. Objection is also made to the lan guage that charges them with being "ambulance chasers." These words are defined by statute and have been further amplified by the court, and have reference to solicitation of dam age suit cases while no acts charged in the petition indicate that-defendants have been guilty of such con duct, they add. Seed Corn Must be Brot into the State Several Areas in State Have a Sur plus But Not All Types Adapted to Eeficit Counties. Certain counties in Nebraska will have no serious difficulty in obtain ing seed corn for next year, while others will have a deficit, says P. II. Stewart, extension agronomist at the college of agriculture. He based his conclusions on a state survey of the seed corn situation, under super vision of agricultural extension agronomists. A study by counties shows two gen eral areas of deficit, one in the north western and one in the south central part of the state. In the latter the deficit can be largely taken care of by surpluses from Platte valley coun ties, such as Lincoln, Dawson, Buf falo. Hall and Merrick, which have produced a fair crop especially on irrigated land. This corn is of the general type and length of growing season as corn ordinarily planted in the counties south of Platte, east from Phelps county to Fillmore, and south to the Kansas line. In northeastern Nebraska, there seoms to be a little surplus corn adapted to the deficit area, which centers about Washington, Burt, Thurston, Stanton, Madison, Platte and Boone counties. Agronomists at the college suggest that if seed corn supplies in northeastern Nebraska prove inadequate, it may be neces sary to go north and east into Iowa to bring in corn of the same general type and length of growing season. 'In southeastern Nebraska, in Nem aha and Richardson counties, there is also considerable surplus corn. This may be used westward to Lancaster and Gage counties, but probably would not be well adapted to use farther west because it is a some what larger, later and more leafy type. Farmers in these southeastern Nebraska counties may find a mar ket for some of their surplus corn eastward into Missouri and south in to Kansas, where their corn should prove well adapted. While the survey figures Indicate that there is much more corn in the state as a whole than will be needed in deficit counties, this does not tell the final story. Much of the surplus corn is in the western and southeast ern counties and is not adapted for the counties which will need to im port seed. Corn in the western coun ties is of an early type, and in the southeastern counties, as already pointed out, the corn is larger and later than can be used advantage ously in the deficit areas. Final plans for seed-corn loans have not yet been announced. GUFFEY COUNTS DUP0NT GIFT New York. Senator Joseph F. Guffey of Pennsylvania said that the DuPont family and associates con tributed ?3S3,000 to the republican campaign up to Sept. 30. Guffey, chairman of the democratic senate campaign committee and chief aid to Democratic National Chairman James A. Farley, based his estimate on fig ures obtained from the record of various congressional committees. "I predict when this campaign is over the records will show that the DuPonts have contributed $750,000 to the republican campaign," Guf fey said. RAID HOUSE OF NUNCIO MunichGermany.
