A definite relationship has bc< n established between criminal toi'dencies and tho functioning of certain glands, he says, and in the future treatment r>S these glands will result in decreased crimes. In this work the Institute is co op -rating with the Sao Paulo model pri.-on, where scientific treatments are given to the prisoners to im prove their health and mentality. Experimental work also is being carried on with more than 10,000 animals in a hosi :ul adjoining the laboratories, ii j, under model! scientific condition?, animals are in jected with deadly poisons in non fatal doses and, from their blood, serums are produced and shipped to all parts of the world for treatment against snake bite and other afflic tions. More than -100 horses, 5,000 white mice, 1,000 rabbits, 3,000 guinea pigs, and a large number of monkeys, goats and cows arc used yearly by the Institute in the battle to find new ways to conserve human and animal life. The Institute now works in co operation with several hospitals, and will soon have its own model hospital where study of the bene fits of glandular medicines will be ex tended. More than 250 scientific laboratories and hospitals in the United States keep in constant touch with Butantan to benefit by development* there.

Hon™ j Falls and Burns Leading Causes, Red Cross Warns in Safely Appeal Washington. D. C.—The American Homo—traditionally the symbol of se curity and safety—rivals the highway as the scene of the nation's greatest number of accident fatalities. | In a statement issued here by the Home and Farm Accident Prevention Service of the American Rod Cross, it was pointed out that accidents in the home, including falls, burns and other common mishaps, claimed 32,000 lives last yean—only 600 loss than the number of motor vehicle deaths. Farm-acci dents accounted for an additional 4,200 deaths. Statistics showed that homo deaths last year increased 500 over the pre ceding year and farm accidents increased 300. In addition to a mounting death toll, home and farm accidents last year caused upwards of 4,700,000 injuries which resulted in economic losses running Into millions of dollars. To reduce the number of rural and urban accidents in and about the homo, the American Rod Cross in 1935 inaugurated its accident prevention program as a parallel project with the First Aid and Lite Saving Services. Each year 1,400 sdul.' die from accidental p bottles clearly and kc-:■>. • reach cf ch; [ This year, 9.000,000 "check lists'' de scribing accident hazards and urging their removal will be distributed throughout the country. Approximately 2,000 Red Cross chap ters have undertaken a program to acquaint householders in their vicini ties with accident hazards in the heme and on the farm. Chapters will be aided by the Junior Red Cross and the schools in distributing the "check lists." The program will stress t^e vital need for removing accident hazards causing falls, as this type of accident | resulted in more than half of last | year's home accident fatalities. Burns i and explosions caused the next heavi est loss of life. Accident prevention is one of seven services conducted day-to-day by the American Red Cross in its tireless campaign against accidental death and suffering arising from disaster and other causes of emergency nature. These services are supported solely by members who join each yoar dur ing Roll Call, November 11-30. Accidents on the farm yearly injure 200,000 persons and ^.re leading cause.
