PUT SALVARsAN INTO BRAIN
New York Hospital Has Success
With. Paresis Treatment.

NEW YORK, Jan. s.-Salvarsan ad-
ministered directly into the inner cav
ity of the brain may be regarded as
one OF the most advanced and hope
ful signs Of arresting the destructive
process OF paresis. officials of the New
York POSTGRADUATE Medical School
and Hospital announce. Their con-
clusion was based on a number of ex-
periments made at the hospital.
By the method used It was said, an
opening Is made through the skull and
the dura of the BRAIN and then, with
a blunt hollow needle that is passed
directly through the tissue of the
brain to the main central cavity, SAL
WARSAW is conveyed directly to the
cerebro-spinal fluid in the main cav
jty OF the brain. From there # is
carried by the circulation of the cete-
bro-spinal fluid throughout the en-
tire cerebro-spinel system. BY thus
reaching every cell OF the brain with
the salvarsan preparation, a uniform
effect is produced.
No symptoms OF any serious nature
have been noted after any of the oper-
ations. Each patient IL operated on
three times. None of the patients has
remained in the hospital more than
four days after the operation, and out
of fourteen patients four have been
able to resume their occupations. ac-
cording TO the hospital authorities.
Salvarsan Is administered in a serum
made from the blood of the patient.

Open Tomorrow.

PHOENIX. ARK. Jan. s.-what is
expected to be the most chaotic legis-
iative session in the history of the
United States begins today.

Both Tom Campbell, officially given
a plurality of thirty votes, and George
Hunt, claiming the office pending SCI
Element of his contest, will send gu
bernatorial messages to the legIsla-
ture today, each claiming the pre-
rogative.
No legislative program has yet been
discussed. but an attempt will he
made to frame this at a caucus meet
ing today.
An attempt also will be made today,
II is believed, to secure q sine die adj

circumstances in the state. II is
doubtful IL this will succeed Others

Leadership Lacking.
Leadership is lacking among the
legislators, although there are several
candidates for speaker of the house
and president OF the senate.
. No one will undertake to say what
attitude the legislature will take
toward the contest. Governor Hunt
probably will control the house. The
senate will be close, either way.

after all, no one really suffers from

of the Arabian spectacle in which
Lenora Ulrich appears in THE Road

particularly pleasing story of love is
woven a tale OF adventure that car

beauty Is splendidly cast into the
Said's daughter, and she plays the part
OF the rich eastern maiden with charm
and grace. She is supported by Colin
Chase, an American merchant, and
love leads to adventure, the caravan
chase, the dance spectacle of Ell Oued

Shiekh buys Hasfa above the power
OF her lovers gold. She is then alb

The power of Mary Pickford was
demonstrated again last night when
Loew's Columbia was filled to the
doors three successive times in the
course of the evening to see her as a
bonnie lassie of the highlands, play
ing the part OF Maget MacTavish, in
the Pride of the Clan"
The second of Pickford's produc-
tions by her own company is q ro-
mantle medley OF clan and fisher life
and as the head of the MacTavish kin
she Is both seaman and lord of the
land. Her girlish wilfullness fits
nicely into her north Scotland nature
in the story.
Development of the Plot.
+. In a storm on the rock-ribbed coast
her fathers fishing smack is dashed
to pieces. Jamie Campbell is among
those who attempt to effect \ rescue.
According to the law of the land the
leadership of the clan devolves upon
eighteen-year-old Maget, who lives in
a waterlogged fishing trawler anchor
ed for years on the rocky coast. Jamie
wins her heart and they are publicly
betrothed.
Meanwhile Mrs. Campbell. whose
son Jamie has been thought to be a
nobleman. realizes he is becoming OF
age and sends word to the Countess
of Dunstable that the child OF her
first marriage is still alive. The earl
and the countess persuade Maget she
is standing in the way OF JAMES
future.
Driven On Rocks.
When he leaves Scotland under
Maget's command to return to Eng
land she decides to cut her home
loose from its mornings on the coast
and in the terrible sea she encounters
the trawler is driven on the rocks.
While 1t Is being beaten to pieces
Jamie arrives in the motor launch
from his mothers yacht, and of
course the earrs heart softens at
sight OF their love.

= At a meeting Of foreign-born citi-
zens Of the United States held at Hart
ington, Nebraska, recently, one Of the
speakers was a Mr.. Kerpff, who was
born in Germany. When he landed
in this country he had five cents and
a piece of summerwurst in his pocket.
Now he owns large and well-im-
proved farm, for which he thanks God
and the American government. Here
is what he said of dual citizenship:
"There is no such thing as a German
American. A man is either German? or
American, and know the Germans in
America are as loyal to the Stars and
Stripes as the American born citizens.
We have reared twelve children, and
when the government needs them, it
can have seven soldiers and five
nurses"

It is to be hoped that order can be
brought out of chaos in Russia, and
that the provisional government will
be enabled to carry on the war vigor-
ously. Germany is leaving no stone
unturned to heighten discomfort in
Russia, and would like nothing better
than to bring about a separate peace
with that country. This would pro-
long the war a considerable length of
time. Aside from the additional men
that the imperial government could
then use against the French and Eng
lish forces, it would open vast food

before the close of the session so that
they can intelligently investigate and
