Develops New Vaccine for Bacterial Diseases O NE of the most promising devel opments In recent years in the field 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 m iiiiiil S' ill Üb:^' ' I « m ■ \ I . if::; « m - Hi iPP'sVl ■ ■Üb :\ ss P . if . - : - s .y\ ..f. » » m ' iS v 5S ■ Ü ■ : p: li aip & ï JS i ■%. , ■ sMp SsSsSS -v r Si v> jn m m : iiif h. si SI üIÜMHE9I bacterial diseases. Ordinarily vaccines contain the cell contents of disease bacteria which have been killed by heat 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 heat or chemicals used to kill them. To eliminate this undesirable reaction he has perfected a mill, consisting of a cylinder containing several thou sand stainless-steel ball-bearings, which kills bacteria without dénaturation of the protein within them. The effectiveness of this method of preparing vaccines has been clearly demonstrated in the treatment of whooping cough and of sinus infections. During a recent epidemic of whooping cough 232 children were treated with the Krueger vaccine and 165 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 antigen, 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 have brought about cures or satisfactory improvement in 90 per cent or more of three series of 45, 62 and 50 Next Doctor Krueger will test the new type antigen on common colds. cases. f BEDTIME STORY I By THORNTON W.

So, this being the first time he had visited the Smiling Pool for a loni, 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 rain for a long time, and Danny had had hard work to keep from being thirsty most of the time. Then he asked Grandfa ther Frog for all the news of the Smiling Pool—how his big cousin, Jerry Muskrat, was getting on; what Billy Mink and Little Joe Ot ter and •tty and Turtle had been doing; how\arge a family Mr. and Mrs. Redwing had raised, and if Rattles 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 Froc really meant what he said, Dannj first hunted for something to eat and then finding a comfortable place on the bank of the Smiling Pool, decided to take a nap.

That Is the finding of two profes sors at Columbia university who made a survey of superstitious be liefs in the United States. Going east and west, north and south, the length and breadth of the land, they found not a single person who was not under the In fluence of-isome false belief. Among false beliefs they included not only such classic superstitions as confl / dence in the four-leaf clover or the rabbit's foot. Ideas like the that a person who falls to look you in the eye when you talk to him is dishonest are false beliefs, even more dangerous, we are told, for their semblance of reason. All false beliefs, it is found, come to us in the same way, 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, is less healthful than the country for the survival of superstitions. Ideas that might thrive in the country are soon de bunked In the city. But we can find less good reason, in this day and age, why women should he more superstitious than men.

Venlzelos, 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. Ramsay 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 Rhine. Armies of men mean nothing. Float ing ships mean little. A while ago Lord Rothermere, warning his country usefully, as his brother, Lord Northcllffe, 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 taken seriously and Britain will have the planes.

New York State College of Agriculture.—WNU Service. Despite cogs, wheels, pulleys, and other evidences of the machine age, the demand for ol' Dobbin remains steady^ In the spring of 1934, 20, 000 work horses were in demand on New York farms. The demand promises to be greater, and the supply less next spring. New York farmers now have about 300,000 horses. Since the av erage working life of a horse is about fifteen years, about 20,000 horses will pass the age of useful ness within one year and a like number will be needed as replace ments. To meet this demand, less than 5,000 home-bred colts are com ing into the working age, and farm ers in the Empire state must look to other states to buy about 15,000 horses. about 17,000,000 horses and mules. Replacements call for more than 1,000,000 colts of working age, but only one-half of this number can be had. • Because of the small supply, prices are high and will be still higher before enough horses can be raised to meet the constant de mand. horses neqded for replacements. The United States has Some farmers can raise Legumes Check Nitrogen Loss in the Corn Crops Although Illinois' corn crop this year was the smallest in 61 years, it removed so much nitrogen from the soil that it would take more than twenty-one million dollars' worth of nitrate of soda to replace it, according to F. H. Crane, as sistant chief in soil fertility at the college of agriculture. University of Illinois. For every 75 bushels of corn that are taken off the land, a quarter of a ton of nitrate of soda costing around $10 would be needed to put back thè nitrogen that had been removed. The past year's corn crop is estimated at 160.816,000 bushels. Fortunately, farmers do not have to buy this twenty-one million dol lars' worth of nitrate of soda, for they can replace the lost nitrogen cheaply through the use of legumes for soil improvement or for feed crops, provided the manure is taken care of in the latter case, Mr. Crane pointed out. In fact, the economic solution of many problems of soil management depends almost wholly on making full and proper use of the assist ance plants can give, he explained.
