Ag CollcgcWantcd.
Striking a new note in features
for the Coinhusker Countryman,
college of agrii'iiltiiie publication
a novel idea is being worked out
for the fly-leaf of the May issue of
the magazine. Thes,c plans were re
vealed yesterday by Harold Mar
colt, '31. editor.
A page will lie devoted to the
signatures of all the seniors in the
college who are graduating. Mar
cott explained. A special sheet of
paper has been drawn up and has
been plated in the office of Dean
V. V. Burr in Agricultural hull.
All that is necessary for the
seniors to do, Marcott continued, is
that they stop at the office ami
sign their names some place on the
paper with ink. The names are not
being written in parallel lines or
in any definite order. They are be
ing written on places ch..-u at
random. Some will be at acute an
gles, some will be inverted, while
Borne will run into or over others.
The idea, the editor added, is to
present a very informal effect, as
though all of the graduating stu
dents had autographed the maga
zine.
All seniors are being asked to
sign their names to the sheet of
paper by Mav 1, it was stated, in
order that the copy may go to the
engravers.
PLYMOUTH STONE
DEDICATION WILL
BE HELD TODAY
A historic stone from Plymouth,
Kngland, bearing an inscription
chosen by Calvin Coolidge, will be
dedicated Sunday afternoon, at 4
o'clock at Twentieth and D streets.
The stone is the f,ift of the town
of Plymouth, Kngland, to the First
Plymouth Congregational cnurcn
of Lincoln. A new home for the
church is now under the process
of erection.
The stone was used as a door
step 400 years ago for one of the
Pilgrim meeting houses in Ply
mouth. The pilgrim fathers, their
forebears and descendants trod
over it for several centuries.
The inscription scelcted by Cool
idge is "God sifted a whole nation
that He might send choice grain
into the wilderness." It is taken
for the election sermon of the Rev.
William Stoughton, which was de
livered in 1(5(58.
Weaver to Speak.
Governor Arthur J. Weaver and
Honorable Charles A. Goss, chief
justice of the state supreme court
will speak at the dedication. Fred
B. Smith, moderator of the Con
gregational churches of America
will deliver an address on "The
ronlrihutinn of the Pilgrim to
America.".
The stone was presented to the
First Plymouth church as the re
suit of the work of its pastor, the
Rev. Ben F. Wyland. Mr. Wyland
was an exchange preacher to Eng
land from America in l'J23 and the
stone was given in recognition
his work.

The lode di"cu-ued way of
helping the nun, and talked of

and like method. Captain' Soerry
rose and bluntly utaled that "he
wan going down there." He or
ganized a little exedilion. and se
cured four ticket from the Gov
ernor, Leonard WihkI. At ft o'clock
in the morning. April ft. 1922. the
lilllo
group left Manila on their
errand.
The expedition had collected I
many books and magar.ines i which '
they later found were useless,
since only eleven of the colony, the
Americans, were able to rWidl a
large assortment of toys, and
many phonographs and records.
Barbara Spoerry, the captain's
daughter, now a Junior at the Uni
versity of Nebraska, had aided In
collecting toys and equipment for
the party. Resolutely refused per
mission to make the trip with her
lather, she went with the group to
the dorks, and slipped on hoard
the ship without the captain's
knowledge. He did not d'scover her
until It was too late to turn back,
so she accompanied him on the
three day trip through the colony.
Doctors Scarce.
Culion, an isolated little island
of the Philippines, in the direction
of Borneo, was the home ot a
colony of 5.600 lepers. The captain
found only five doctors for the
whole group, four F.lipinos and one
white man. Dr. H. V. Wade, who
had arrived only two weeks earlier.
The four native doctors, aided by
six Catholic sisters, had been car
ing for all the cases. Later on. a
Protestant missionary and his
wife came to the island, and after
the little expedition had reported
the conditions it discovered, the
staff was increased to sixteen
Filipino doctors and two Ameri
cans. During the three-day stay at the
colony, the captain visited more
than 1,000 cases who were unable
to walk. He found more than 1.300
children in the colony. His first
thought was that some method of
birth control should 'be practiced.
Discovering that the disease was
not hereditary, and that leprous
parents could bear clean children,
he conceived the idea of separat
ing the children in a different
colony, treating them, curing the
parents, and then reuniting the
families. Today "Welfare Village,"
organized by Governor Wood, is
a realization of this idea. Formerly
the children were forced to remain
with the diseased colony, and
frequently contracted leprosy
themselves.
Little Money Available.
The Filipino government. Cap
tain Spoerry reported, was spend
ing one-third of its total revenue
on public neaitn, ana a sixtn oi
this sum went to the cure of lep-1
rosy. While this amount is of

the iieedn of the situation. It al
lowed but fifteen renta per day for
nieala for each cae, and only 11
per year for clothing Tne Ameri
cans In the colony were forced to
live on I hi same allowance, unless
they reeivrd help from outside.
Ir. Wade, a i, led by the KnlghlH
of Pythias, and to-ojie rating with
the governor, has aucceeded in
clearing up the colony fairly well,
so that conditions at the present
lime are much belter. At the time
of Captain Spoeiry'a visit, more
than 1.000 cases needing hospital
attention were left outside, due lo
lack of room. The total laboratory
equipment for the study of the di
sease, included one miscrosope and
ten reagent bottles.
Spoerry Lectures.
On his return to the United
Slates, Captain Spoerry made a
three months' lecture tour, dunne
leave of abitence. at his own ex-
pense. He spoke daily during the
summer of lt2rt. doing what he
could to help the situation.
The Knights of Pythias organ
ized a committee of ten members
of Congress, to push an approp
riation bill for four million dollars,
to combat the disease and help
clean up the colony. Governor
Wood, on his own initiative, had
appointed a committee to solicit
voluntary contributions, to the
total of two million, to be used for
an emergency relief fund until the
governmental appropriation could
be secured. This organization re
quested that the appropriations
committee suspend action until It
had reached its two million goal.
Publicity, it said, would hurt its
cause, if the people heard that
congress vas doing sompthinjr
they could not be persuaded to
give from their own pockets.
Over Million Secured.
Up to date, $1,700,000 has been
secuied. The congressional group
is waiting its time to proceed with
the task of securing its appropria
tion. Prospects for a satisfactory
working out of a solution to the
problem seem very good, the cap
tain reported. Much has been done, i
and much more is planned. I
The United States has a leper
colony of its own, at Carville. ln
Louisiana. The institution is known
as a "marine hospital" and at the
last reports contained Zb6 lepers.
Most of the esses were immi
grants, coming from the port ci
ties on the sea coasts. While blood
tests are used, the germ may
sometimes lie dormant in the blood
for as long as thirty or forty
years, the captain stated. It can
not be detected at this stage.
Cause of the disease Is unknown.
It is little contagious, if at all.
Chalmougra oil, a recently discov
ered remedv, is an effective cure,
Captain Sperry said. Injected in
the vertebrae twice weekly for'
eighteen months to two years, it 1
completely cleans up a case. The I
remedy was discovered in an odd i
manner. !
One colony in India, found to
have very light cases of the di-1
sease, was louna to De cnewing
regularly an oily nut, a variety of
betel nut, the Asiatic's tobacco.
The oil, refined and distilled by in
vestigators, was finally recognized
as a practical cure for leprosy. To-
day its use is universal.
