AFRICAN HAIL STONES REAL THING Raymond Nebeling Talks Interestingly at Kiwanis Luncheon Today. It isn't all diamonds and roses in So. Africa. Instead of diamonds they frequently have hail stones in some sections as big as your flat that go thru tin roofs. There is a native population in the Union numbering 10,000 and only 1,800,000. Infantile Paralysis Aided by Warm Bath CHICAGO, June 12—Successful treatment of infantile paralysis by submersion of children in a tank of tepid water was announced today by the staff of the Northwestern University medical school. The method has been found so successful, it was announced, that patients formerly compelled to remain in wheel chairs are able to walk, in some instances without crutches. A tank, five feet high and six feet in diameter, much resembling a rain barrel, has been installed in the school. It is filled with water enough to submerge the legs and lower torso of child patients. It was installed by the father of a Chicago girl who miraculously found she was able to use her paralyzed legs for swimming when one day she was helped into the surf while undergoing treatment in the south. The theory behind the treatment is that when the afflicted arm or leg is submerged in water, support is given to the muscles and if any strength remains in them, the patient can move them. SECOND HOTEL PLAN Reported Mae Fullerton Host Fine Improvement A second large hotel for Broadway, according to day that negotiations between the main new California hotel and properly owned and Los Angeles-strip lease on the corner of a fine hotel, similar to hostelry. The property is Interestingly at Kiwanis Luncheon Today. It isn't all diamonds and roses in So. Africa. Instead of diamonds they frequently have hail stones in some sections as big as your flat that go thru tin roofs. There is a native population in the Union numbering 10,000 and only 1,000,000. Raymond Nebelung, son of Max Nebelung, entertained Kiwanians and their guests today with one of the most interesting talks yet given at the weekly luncheon meetings. Nebelung recently returned from So. Africa where he was advisor in citrus culture to the British government on a contract made with the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. Other features of the meeting were the presence of the victorious Rotary club baseball team as guests and acceptance of a challenge from Captain Art Shipke for another three games; introduction of two new members, Roy Wethered and A. E. Schunnacher, who listened to a talk on rotary principles by Rev. J. A. Geissinger; song by the Rotary team "Nothing Could Be Finer Than to Be an Anaheimer"; and announcement of the gift to the American Legion Post of two leather chairs by the club. In his speech, Nebelung declared that one of the most impressive nights he had ever seen was that of Table Mountain as he approached Capo Town. Over it hung the so-called table cover, a blanket of fog, with just enough sun to make the beauties of the mountain visible. The city has 75,000 people and is modern. Nebelung was surprised at its progress. By sea, the city is 13,000 miles distant. The Union is practically self-governing, the Governor General being the only British representative. Both English and Dutch are taught in the schools and both languages are used in public announcements, poems, etc. There is still concern of bitterness toward the British and the latter feel the need of maintaining both tongues. The 10,000,000 natives are kept in absolute subjection, with a 9 o'clock curfew. The men are permitted to have five or six wives, if they like, according to native custom, and most of them have at least two. Girl babies are the most popular because they can be sold. Traffic in wives is common. Wages are $5.00 per month for natives. It costs a native only five cents per day to live. The influence of the United States upon South Africa is strong. It is estimated that 50 per cent of the population sees at least one picture show per month. Most of the machinery and railway equipment is furnished by the United States. Comparing citrus culture there and here, Nebelung cited as among difficulties there: Need of using oxen.
