FLU SERUM USELESS
Physicians Are Still Hunting for
a Preventive.
Y. S. Laboratory Director Says Nc
Cure for Battling Disease
Is Known.

New York-Considering that the IN
surance companies Of the United
States lost about $13O,0O0,OOO during
the three months last year when the
influenza epidemic was at its height,
1t was but natural that when the Asso-
citation of Life Insurance Medical Dr.
rectors met in annual convention in
Newark the physicians and public
health authorities should concern
themselves almost exclusively to the
search for some preventive measure
which would preclude another outbreak
of the plague.
And yet, although 1t was shown that
about 100000 people in the world
persisted from it. 4OO,OOO Of whom were
Americans, all the medical experts ad-
mitted that the disease was completely
battling. Said DIR. G. w. Mccoy, d.
rector of the hygienic laboratory Of the
public health service in Washington.
There is no serum that l know Of
which Is of the slightest value In pre-
venting influenza, nor Is there serum
that is of any use whatever In the.
treatment of the disease" He made
this statement after carefully expert
menting with serums and vaccines In
all parts of the country where the dis
ease had broken out, and particularly
In Pelham Bay and the army camps
where the mortality was great.

Allies Rifle Strength
Greatest When Needed

Observation-Disclosures show
ing the rifle strength of the al
lied and enemy force on the
western front during the last
eight months of the war were re-
ceIved by the war department.
They show that up to July l the
allies were outnumbered from
100000 to 100000, but that they
reached their peak on Septem-
Der 1, when they had 1,6S2,0OO
opposed to the Germans 1885,
600.
Rife strength Is the number
of "men In the trenches ready
to go over the top with the bay
onet." The rifle strength of an
American division of $1,000 COM
bat troops is 1880. This shows
that the actual armies on the
western front totaled more than
twice as many as the rifle
strength figures.
During the hard fighting from
September /, the Germans
losses were appalling, the fig :
ures showing drop in their
strength from 100000 to $685.
900 on November 1. During the
same period the strength of
the allied forces dropped only
from 1852, 900 to 1886, 900.

RADIATOR GASKET IS

Necessary to Cover Hood Of Car
During Severe Weather.
Simple Change In Gasket at Overflow
Pipe ls Nearly as Effective as
Thernostatic vaIve-How to
Determine Size.

Motorists realize the necessity Of
covering the radiator and hood of an
automobile in the winter months, be-
cause the rapid radiation of the heat
results in inefficient operation. A
thermostatic valve set in the outflow
pipe Of the water system is used In
many motors for cold weather. A sim
pie change In the gasket at the outflow
pipe, connecting the water jackets to
the radiator, Is nearly as effective as
the thermostatic valve. II has an nd
vantage in saving the nonfreezing So
luton, commonly employed, from rap.
idly boiling away, as often happens
where the radiator Is covered and
maintained in heated condition. The
change in the gasket is merely in the
substitution of one having smaller
opening. A gasket of one.half the nor
NAL area was used on % horsepower
motor with excellent results. The
proper size for the engine on which II
is to be used can be best determined
by experimenting, gasket with q

WAR IN EUROPE
BIC MOTOR AID

Right Here at Home.
Cars GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES
During Great Battles People on This
Side Found Out Many Benefits Of
Motorized Transportation In
Various Ways.

Wonderful as was the work of the
motorcar in Europe during the last
few years Of struggle there, and de-
spite the vast angles of future devel-
opment which were opened by the au-
tomobile's accomplishments In the bat.
tie zone, the biggest thing that the war
did for the motorcar industry was done
here at home.
This is the opinion Of 9. A. Pfeffer.
general manager of large motorcar
corporation, and what this big thing
is expresses concretely Mr.. Pfeffer's
idea Of the future of the industry. Al
though he believes that the true sig
nificapce Of the stay.at.home work Of
the automobile will come only In the
light Of more mature retrospection, he
believes that some Of its most promi.
nent features are apparent even to-
day.
Pave Way for Prosperity.
"What motorcnrs did right ut home
to win the war did more. In my opin.
ion, to pave the way for more pros.
porous future for the automobile In
dustry than any other one thing" said
Mr.. Pfeffer. 81 realize fully that right
now we associate the war and the au.
tomobile with the splendid service and
incalculable benefit which motorized
transportation was TO the armies IN
the field, Just as we associate the sol.
diers part I'm the struggle with the un.
questioned heroism of the men In the
front line trenches.
"But. in the same way as we neglec,
the greater majority Of the fighters
much greater army of motorcars which
went into the struggle on every road
in the United States. But, because
we were so close TO the stay-at.homes
It is hard to get the proper perspec'
tive on them.
Touches Vital Spot.
II think l set my finger on the vital
spot when ! recall the fact that dur
ing the war more people found out
the benefits Of motorized Transports
ton from both the business and rec
reatlonal side than ever had known Il
before.
1.-THE business men who were forced
to speed up their daily life and found
that speed could be obtained by tho
use Of IN automobile; these same
men who discovered the vacatlonn
benefits OF the automobile, which
could be utilized without loss Of bust
ness, time or efficiency; those wht
tried the motorcar In their business
and daily life as an experiment ant
found the results were far better thar
they had expected-all these were
awakened by the work OF the automo
bile ut home"

yate messages from various parts of
Germany make it clear that the peace
terms have at any rate forced the
mass Of German people to realize
their thorough defeat. Hitherto they
had not really done so. Never
throughout the war was public
mourning ordained in Germany but
now the national humiliation is such
that orders to refrain from all pub
lie amusements are scarcely neces-
sary.
In neutral countries, adjoining Ger
many, the peace terms have also
caused the most profound consterna-
tion among certain classes, which is
due to the fact that much capital in
these countries is invested in Ger
man enterprises and it is, therefore,
feared that, should Germany declare
herself bankrupt, it would all be lost
Some pro-German newspapers, which,
during the war, were constantly sub
servient to the German general staff
and since the armistice have pre-
tended to he friendly to the allies,
have again come out in their true
eolors, which are those Of Germany.

"THE RESCUFNG
ANGEL"
TWO CLAUSES OF
STATE DRY LAW
HELD AS VALID

Austin, Tex, May 16-The clause
of the statewide prohibition law
which forbids shipment Of intoxi.
cants except for certain purposes
was held constitutional in the Third
Court Of Civil Appeals here today.
The anti-manufacturing clause C. the
same law was upheld in the Court Of
Criminal Appeals.
The case in the Court of Civil Ap-
peals was that of the Gulf, Colora-
do & Santa Fe railroad VS.. the State,
in which a temporary injunction
granted upon application Of the at
torney general by the Travis county
district court was sought to be re-
moved. The decision in the court Of
criminal appeals came on habeas
corpus proceedings by Ed Davis of
Dallas county, who sought release
from being held on charge Of man
ufacturing intoxicants.
The court held that the law under
which he was restrained was consti-
tuticnal because the constitution does
not withhold from the legislature the
right to prohibit the manufacture of
intoxicants, and the subpect fell with
in the call of the governor at the
fourth called session of the Thirty
fifth legislature at which the law
was passed.
Another habeas corpus proceeding

which involved the subject OF the
law which prohibits the keeping oil
licror in a public place was dismiss
