Austrian Scientists Get Corroboration of Harmlessness of Sea Denizens as Article of Diet. Vienna, June 21. Experiments at the Technical Institute have proved to the satisfaction of those concerned that water taken ay meals is an aid to digestion and a general benefit to the system. The water, it was found, by testing several human subjects, leads to a more economical utilization of the protein constituents of the diet. The investigations here 'serve to con firm those made some time ago by Fowleu and Hawk at the University of IllinoijS in America. The Austrian ex perimenters have a kind word, too, for light Wines and malt beverages taken in moderation with tne meals. f Scientists in the Hungarian Re search Laboratory at Budapest are preparing to take up a question raised by Martmc and Lenhart at Cleveland Ohio. These men, acting under the direction - oi "the Rocfe'rvtlSstfttft oi New York, have cast doubt, it is learned, on the findings of the New York State Cancer Laboratory at Buf falo. At the latter institution it has been asserted that cancer is a fish' disease, and hence is likely to be, introduced to the human system by a careless and indiscriminate fish diet. The Cleve land experiments, on the other hand, seem to show that what the New York ers have supposed to be cancer in fish is actually only goitre. The Hungarian scientists hope to settle the contro versy, which is of the utmost conse quence. Midweek Dance Tonicht. PRESIDENT TAFT TODAY AT YALE COMME New Haven, Conn., Jur e 21.

Washington, June 21. Many of the big trunk lines are being largely over paid by the Government for carrying the mails. A saving of about $9,000,- 000 can be effected without doing in justice to the transportation compan ies, Postmaster General Hitchcock following an investigation.- The inquiry brings out the fact that of the 394 companies reported on, 278 are making profits from mail trans portation while, 116 are Incurring losses. The rate of profit and loss va ries- widely with different companies. The investigation, which has involv ed a vast amount dtwork, was insti tuted by Mr. Hitchcock. under author ity granted by an old statute that had never been effectively enforced. The railways were never , before required (to disclose the cost of carrying pas sengers and express, as well as the mails. " v! In readjusting the compensation of railways for mail transportation In conformity with the conditions shown by the inquiry it will be necessary to increase the pay of certain lines that are now. carrying the mails at a loss while reducing the compensation of the systems that are making unrea sonable profits from this service. By making such a readjustment on a ba sis of a 6 per cent profit to all rail ways carrying the mails it will be possible to save .the Government ap proximately $9,000,000 a year. Congress will be asked to authorize a readjustment. This will pave the way still further for the introduction of one-cent letter postage which, according to Postmas ter General Hitchcock, can be accom plished without a postal deficit , just as soon as the. postage rajte on second class mail matter is properly adjusted.

The Board of Governors of the AutoinobileClub of America has referred hack to the con test committee, wij.h plpwer to act, its recommendation iiictrning 'the isst ance of asamction for the grand prize race at Savannah. Application was made by the Savannah Automobile ! Club, the date desired being Novenfber i 30 which President Taft will name as j Tnanksgiving Day. Savannah will also have the conduct of the Vanderbilt cup race this fall and is desirous of run ning two contests on succeeding days. It is probable the committee will over ride the proposal to hold the two races on succeeding days and stipulate that two full days shall elapse between their running. The Savannah Club will therefore be obliged to hold the Vanderbilt race Monday, November 27, or on an earlier date, if it conducts the gold cup contest Thanksgiving Day.
