DIpHTHERIA Am pNErNoNIA.

Two announcements Of worldwide interest bear
ing upon the combating OF disease have been
made within the last week One has to do with
dpbthera and the other With pneumonia maladies
which have built up fearful death uos while medical
science has been endeayoring to grappe With and
subdue them Professor Emil Won Behring Of the
University Marburg Informed the Congress Of In
ternal Medicine. in session in Wesbaden, Germany,
that method Of prolonged immunization against dph-
iberia has been discovered that adequate tests of
the method in the clinics of Marbrrg and Mag
deburg have shown that the treatment is both harm
less and effective Tho treatment consists Of an in
lection OF mixture of dphtheretic toXne and anti
toxine Won Behring's former efforts to immunze per-
by means Of a dphthera serum did not meet with
the immunity covered such short time
that 1t scarcely worth while 10 undergo the treat
ment lie Informed his colleagues in the congress- how
that since then he has perfected the serum and
that injection carries with it prolonged i'm
munization.
The announcement bearing upon the pneumonia
menace from the Rockefeller Institute in New
York. It is less positive than the made in Ger
many, but contains sangune note that may mean
much humanity. Or. Charles A. McWilliams, a
physician who has worked in collaboration with the
institute Investigators, says that promising expert
ments being made looking to the control and cure
Of pneumonia by the use Of serum lie added that
within two to six months definite announcement as
10 the success or failure OF the experiments may be
looked for in the Journal OF the institute DR. McWil-
ams says that meantime the positive assertion Of the
discovery CT a definite is not warranted. His
description Of the way IN which the serum Is OBJ
tanned is interesting It is based the theory that
bacillus that pneumonia Is in two strains.
both of which might not be found in patient and
that specific for each must be found To OBJ
tain the two sets Of horses inocuated
The serums thus obtained then used to nocu-
late two sets of mice. sputum from the patient also
was injected into the mice BY watching the result
the physicians able TO ascertain which strain Of
the bacillus afflicted the patient. Following the as
ccranment Of that important fact tho patient in
oculated with the serum affecting that particular
strain. The experiments have been in progress two
years and improvement in pneumonia cases thus
treated has been apparent
When the deadly of tho two diseases is taken
into consideration there is not community in the
world that not interested in those announcements.
In the mortity registration in the United States
in 1909. there than 10000 deaths from
pneumonia alone. In short that disease caused more
deaths than any OTTER disease except tuberculosis.
1909 there 1886 deaths per 100000 Of popua-
ton, or only slightly fewer deaths than from tuber-
culosis OF the lungs The mortality from dphthers
also very high, particularly among children.

RnYS. GIRLS Am MrSIC.

M ME. HUGH Angler. a distinguished voice
alyst OF New York, boys are more mu-
steal than girls, and that, far musical endowment
is affected, the ratio is five to in favor of the
boys.
There is some development in the brain Of the
average that her to be less artistic than
the average man." Nine Angler says "The artistic
gift be the reflex force Of centuries of edu-
cation in which has not shared equally with
man. The higher musical endowments in male chill
dren are shown plainly in vocal and piano classes,
where i invariable that the most expert and
and brightest students boys. To every musical
girl there appear be FIVE boys equally gifted They
have naturally better idea Of harmony and instinct
lively grasp the knowledge Of musical values which. in
the majority OF cases become understood by their
feminine rivals only by dint OF hard study
No doubt many and girls will regard that
a reasonable utterance TO from woman, but, as
Nine. Angler is expert who has had large ex-
perieuce she should be contradictcd hastily. 1t
must be admitted however that If what she says be
true, much musical talent Is going TO waste re-
suit OF the popular opinion that prevails in most
households including those in Wilmington, that the
girls and the boys should bc the benehciaries of
musical education.

BRYAN AND HIS APOLOGY TO CLARK.

w and Champ Clark. Speaker Of the House. who
have been estranged since the former fought against
and defeated the latter in the Baltimore Convention,
have met made peace and buried the hatchet so far
as their Official relations arc affected feature Of
the reconciliation is apology by Secretary Bryan
to Speaker Clark for what Bryan said about him at
the convention at which Woodrow Wilson nou.i-
mated for President
Bryan i'm formal statement issued following the
reconciliation. said that he had tried make il clear
to Mr. Clark that he always has regarded him
good. clean progressive Democrat Hc added that II
his language in Baltimore created any impression that
he was charging Mr. Clark with being in sympathy
with any Of the reactionary forces. he glad Of
the opportunity such misconstructou Of his
words acts. for he did not intend to reflect upon
either the personal the political integrity Of the
speaker. In conclusion Bryan added that it is his
earnest wish that there may be cordial cooperation
between the State Department and the Speaker in
carrying out the policies Of the administration
In statement issued following Bryan's apology,
Speaker Clark shows that while accepting peace for
tho sake of the party and the Wilson administration.

says it is beyond the power Of Secretary Bryan or
anyone else to correct the injustice that done to
him in Baltimore.
"The loss OF the Presidential nomination is small

our country"
The inference from that is that while, for the sake

welfare Of tho Democratic party. Speaker Clark is
willing forgive Secretary Bryan officially he still is
far from being rocoucied TO him personally and
