Develops New Vaccine for Bacterial Diseases ONK of the most promising devel opments In recent years In the Held of vaccine therapy was recent ly announced by the University of California on the basis of research results obtained by Dr. A. P. Krue ger, associate professor of bacteri ology. Professor Krueger has de veloped a mechanical method of preparing vaccines or antigens for the treatment and prevention of bacterial diseases. Ordinarily vaccines contain the cell contents of disease bucterla which hare been killed by bent or chemicals, it is Doctor Krueger's conclusion that the consistent failure of many of these prepara tions Is due to alterations in the protein of the bacteria induced by the bent or chemicals used to kill them. To eliminate this undesirable reaction lie has perfected a mill, consisting of a cylinder containing several thou sand stain less-steel hall hearings, which kills bacteria without denaturation of the protein within them. The effectiveness of this method of preparing vaccines lias been clearly demonstrated in the treatment of whooping cough nnd of sinus infections. During n recent epidemic of whooping cough 232 children were treated with ttie Knieger vaccine and 163 with another type of vaccine. Only 47 per cent of the children receiving the old type vaccine showed fair or good results, while the Krueger pertussis nntlgen, as it is called, brought about good or fair results In 90 per cent of the cases. Tests of the similarly prepared antigen for sinus infections hnve brought about cures or satisfactory improvement In 90 tier cent or mure of three series of 43, 02 and 50 cases. Next Doctor Krueger will test the new type antigen on common colds. BEDTIME STORY By THORNTON IV.

So, this being the first time he hatl visited the Smiling Pool for a lont time, he made the most of It. One of the first things he did was to get a good long drink. You see. there had been no r:iln for a long time, and Danny had had hard work to keep from being thirsty most of the time. Then he asked Grnndfa ther Frog for nil the news of the Rmillng Pool—how his big cousin, Jerry Muskrat, was getting on; what BiUy Mink and Little Joe Ot ter and Spotty and Turtle hnd been doing; how large a family Mr. and Mrs. Redwing hnd raised, and If (tattles the Kingfisher still came fish ing every day In the Smiling Pool? Grandfather Frog answered all his questions and then declared he had talked enough for one morn ing. Finding that Grandfather Frog really meant what he said, Danny first hunted for something to eat and then finding a comfortable place on the bank of the Smiling Pool. de<*Tded to take a nap. Now, Just by chance, that very morning Reddy Fox decided that lie, too, would visit the Smiling Pool. Reddy likes a tender young frog for n change In his bill of fare once In a while. So about the time Danny Meadow Mouse decided to take a nap Reddy Fox started toward the Smiling Pool. As he drew near It he crouched low In the grass and stole forward very care fully and stealthily, doing Ids best to keep as much out of sight ns possible. Nearer and nearer he crept to the hank of the Smiling Pool, and It Just happened that he was headed straight for the spot where Danny Meadow Mouse was napping. Now Reddy wasn’t thinking ot Danny Meadow Mouse. He was thinking of young frogs. Hut as lie drew nearer the hank of the Smiling Pool a careless Merry Lit tle Freeze brought to him tie scent of Danny Meadow Mouse. It tickled Reddy’s nose. It mnde him forget young frogs. A fat meadow mouse would he much better eating than n young frog. Reddy became more careful than ever, lie crept along almost on his stomach In the direction from which that scent came. All the time Danny Meadow Mouse was having pleas ant dreams In that comfortable pluce on ttie hanks of the Smiling Pool, wholly unconscious that dan ger was anywhere near. ©, T. W.

Ideas like the one that a person who falls to look you in the eye when yon talk to him Is dishonest are false beliefs, even more dangerous, we are told, for their semhlunce of reason. All false beliefs, It is found, come to us In the same way. They go around, are accepted, and we do not stop to question their truth. The country Is more superstitious than the city and—women are more superstitious than men! Naturally the city, with Its con stant kaleidoscope of life, which al ways educates.

My English teach er gave me this question: "The liquor, what the man bought, was soon drunk.” She told me the sen tence is wrong and wants me to cor rect it. Will you correct it for me? Yours truly, O. WHIZITS HARDE.

Find Comfort in Greece The British Wake Up New Civilization? Fremont Older Americans, with comparatively small troubles, may find comfort In reading about Greece, where government air planes are bomb ing government battleship s, seized by rebels. Prom the Aver off, pride of the Greek navy, "llames rose high” when a 230-pound baby bomb struck her •leek. What would happen if a 5,000 ... .... pound bomb Arthur Ilrlxbane , , . struck n ship? Ancient names taking you back to school days are scattered through Greek civil war reports. Venizelos, a true Greek patriot, supporting the revolution, dwells on the little is land of Crete, where the Minotaur, half human, half bull,, used to live and devour youths and maidens from Athens. In this world of trouble, some thing must explode somewhere. Kamsny MacDonald tells the commons that Germany’s military activity compels Britain to extend her boundaries of “imperial air pro tection” to the banks of the Uhine. Armies of men mean nothing. Float ing ships mean little. A while ago Lord Itothermere, warning his country usefully, as his brother, Lord NorthclifTe, did in the big war, was telling the British that they must have at least 5,000 fighting planes. His advice, at first ridi culed. is now tnken seriously and jBrltnin will have the planes. Old American methods that have built up this country, such as It Is, are called out of date by lead ing minds in Washington. Mr. Richberg, supposed to he closest to the President in thought, tells a Miami audience “the World war marked the passing of a civ ilization." What kind of civiliza tion will take Its place? With all possible respect for pro fessors and reformers, you wonder If they can, offhand, manufacture a better one. The death at seventy-eight of Fre mont Older, for more than fifty years a courageous fighting news paper man in California, recalls Victor Hugo's words: “The death of the just man is like the end of a beautiful day.” Fremont Older’s life, character and work were worthy of his im pressive stature and benign expres sion. It may he said of him. as was said of Gladstone, that “his heart was ever with the weak and miserable poor." Every good cause found a defender in him; the most miserable convict, released from prison, might find a friend In him. There is a heaven, of course, and Fremont Older Is there. If there were no heaven, his character and merit would “make It necessary to Invent one." Alabama voted dry, stands with Kansas, one of the two dry states of the Union. Northern racketeers and bootleggers must not hastily conclude that Alabama offers a paradise of profit. First, Alabama knows how to make corn whisky at a price per gallon that would discourage any bootlegger; second, the men of Alabama are not as long suffering as men of New York. Racketeers would find Alabama is bad climate for their health. Paris and American dressmakers tell woman that she must now dress in a fashion “revealing the outlines and curves of the human form.” To know exactly what the outlines of the human form are, take a walk through the streets of Miami near public or private bathing beaches. You will see strolling to their homes, ns free from care or self consciousness as little birds, hun dreds of Indies, some tall and thin, a majority short and fat. with lit erally nothing on from the waist up that could not he replaced by two half coconut shells fastened to the chest with a string around the back of the neck, and below the waist a wisp of material that would make Eve’s skirt of leaves look like a ball dress. Such costumes are unwise “sales manship." The old-fashioned muslin dress down to the ankle, up to the neck, aroused romantic interest and uncertainty. On an Island In the Pearl river, Inhabitants of a Chinese fishing vil lage dreaded and disliked a small settlement where 24 lepers lived nearby. A dispatch from Hongkong says the villagers have solved their problem by a massacre of the 24 lep ers, followed by the destruction and burning of their settlement. That shocks us now, hut such bar barity was once the rule. The old were killed and sometimes eaten In primitive days. Q. Kin* Features Syndicate, Inc. YYNU Service.
