CLAIMS THAT SERUM
IS BLINDNESS CURE

NEW YORK, July 24-A serum
which DR.. Erasmus Pond, Brooklyn
eye specialist, claims has cured nine
cases of blindness, caused by atrophy,
will soon be demonstrated before the
academy of medicine and the Amer
lean Medican association, it was re-
ported today.
DR.. Pond, who discovered the serum,
said the method of cure was to inject
the fluid which nourished the optic
nerve. Blindness caused by accident,
as said, could not be cured by the
serum, nor would it be successful un-
less there was slight vision left to
the patient. The physician said as
soon as he had demonstrated his dis
covery before the medical profession
he would make public the formula
that it might be used generally.

POLICE ANSWER
MANY QUESTIONS
But the Most Frequent One is 'What
Time Is it?">

Police headquarters receives many va
ried visitors each day and many varied
questions are asked and answered. But
the most frequent question which the
desk sergeant or the turnkey is required
to answer is What time it is?"
From early morning until late at night
people who do not trust their time pieces
or who do not have any call the station
and ask the time of day. The questions
have multiplied greatly since the tete-
phone, operators have been instructed to
refuse to answer the question and the
whole burden of keeping the public time
as we'll as that part of the public which
ougnt te be doing time has been saddle
on the police department.
The time question is such a frequent
one that policemen frequently answer the
station phone not by announcing their
pamher but by giving the o'clock wiki
out waiting to be asked.
