THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ONE OF ORIGINATORS OF IMPROVED BUREAI Professor Davis Then a Fellow In University of Paris Purifying and clarifying the news of Asia and Europe was the primary purpose of a contemplated news service bureau in Paris in 1910. Prof. W. W. Davis, of the department of historiography at the University of Paris, with a French Canadian student, were the originators of the improved news bureau idea. The form of organization, as propounded by the two American graduate students, was a weekly round table where students, picked by Professor Davis, one from each of the countries of the region, discuss and discuss the important developments in each of their respective countries. In order to facilitate the discussions, each of the round table students would subscribe for the papers that he thought were the most representative, and most reliable, from a news standpoint, of his own country. These representative papers would be rushed into Paris by eyress and the students would "bine pencil" their papers and bring them to the table; dishable newspapers are normally each of the subscribers would be in the language of the subscriber and as every language from the dialects of the Malaysian peninsula to Swedish was to be represented, the discussions would be in the solon language, French. After declining on the most important news, the two American promoters would send it to a syndicate of the smaller American newspapers. This syndicate was to have served the smaller state by distributing the United States for a fractional cost of the expense of the larger news bureau. The superior advantages, of the plan, as explained by Professor Davis, over the news bureaus in the field already were that these young and well-educated students were already meeting for seminar discussions, were from the various European and Asiatic countries and had the viewpoint of the citizens as compared with the American reporter. It is also particularly informed on the European news. Unfortunately, or fortunately, Professor Davia was called to America to accept his present position as associate professor of American history in the University of Kansas.

BRITISHER DISCOVERS A CURE FOR LEPROSY Announcement Made After 27 Years in Indian Medical Service London, March 15. - At last there is a prospect of permanent cure for leprosy, which means that thousands of people will look forward with hope to the future. After 27 years in the Indian Medical Service, Lieuten-Clement Sir Leonard Rogers has announced that his efforts in medical research work have resulted in the discovery of treatment for Leprosy leprosy bacilli in the human tissue. Sir Leonard says that while he does not claim to have discovered an invaluable permanent cure, this is not true. He and now it has ever been seen. "In the case of one leaper," he said, "sight was restored after treatment. Others have regained the sense of touch, and in the case of a man who could not wear two or three hundred pounds before he can now walk ten miles." Sir Leonard explained that for a long time the only drug known to be of value in leprosy was chamaedropeum. It was then discovered a tree that grew in the wild in India. But this oil was so nauseating that it was impossible to administer it it loses large enough to be effective. "The first step in advance," said he, "was man by Dr. Heisser, the american who injected the oil intra-muscularly, and obtained an apparent cure in 11 per cent of his cases as the result of a prolonged course of painful injury." "It was at this point that I took up the work in 1915. I obtained a soluble sodium salt of the unsaturated fatty acids which form the bulk of the oil, and I found that I could inject this underneath the skin or into the veins safely, causing less nim, and with greater effect on the skin than the leprosy bacilli in the tissues, which has never been done before. "Owing to the long incubation period of the disease it is not yet possible to say that any of the cases are permanently cured, but we now have real grounds for hoping that this may be so."
