OSTEOPATHIC SPECIALISTS
TO HOLD ANNUAL MEET
OVER IN TORONTO
TORONTO, Ont., July 24. (#>)—

GERMAN INFANT .MORTALITY
REDUCED HALF SINCE WAR
BERLIN, July 24. UP)—Statistics
recently published show that the mor
tality among infants is much less
than in pre-war days. During the
third quarter of last year the death
rate was only about one-half the per
centage during the years just prior
to the World War.
The medical authorities attribute
this improved condition to the cold
weather during the latter part of
1924, which they state is always more
beneficial than warm weather for in
fants during their first year.
AMERICANS TAKE LEAD
SWIMMING AT OXFORD
OXFORD, England, July 24. (JP)—
On present form, the Oxford Uni
versity swimming team for this term
will be composed largely of Ameri
cans. In the races for freshman B.
Brodie, of Pauling School, won the
50 yards in good time from H. M.
Cleckley, the Georgia hurdler, and
J. L. Merrill of California, the mid
dleweight boxing champion of the
university, led in the 100 yards. Bro
die has a smooth, easy stroke and is
is one of the most promising swim
mers in the university. Another
clever American swimmer is C. G.
Fletcher of Pebroke College, who has
made all but two of Oxford’s goals
at water polo this season.
Oxford swimming compares un
favorably with that of the larger
American universities. The univer
sity has no swimming pool, and the
municipal swimming baths, the only
poo in Oxford, is open to the univer
sity only three hours a week. Swim
ming is taught in public schools
and is required of all university men
who take up rowing, but speed
strokes have never become popular.
A prehistoric shop containing 4000
flint tools and weapons was found by
British and American geologists in
the Valley of Medway, England.

NEW JAPANESE INVENTION
PHOTOS FROM PERISCOPES
SASEBO, Japan, July 24. (/p)—Op
tical instruments and photographic
devices used in the Japanese navy
are being improved upon rapidly,
says a naval official here. It is an
nounced that a method has been per
fected for the taking of pictures thru
the periscope of submarines, the de
tails of which are being kept secret.
It is declared that, by the use of
the periscope-telescopic carema, move
ments of enemy ships can be easily

self being detected. The device is
being tested and, if it proves to be
successful all the submarines in the
Japanese navy will be equipped with
it.
