Serum From Several Horses
DR.. Spahllnger discovered a number
of years ago that the tuberculosis
bacillus produces great many diff
ferent toxins each of which must be
used in the preparation of partial sera.
compound Of these partial sera
makes the complete serum, used in bad
cases of tuberculosis. 1t requires not
one horse. but several to prepare the
complete serum.
DR.. Spahlnger said to-day that he had
been informed that his treatment had
been used in the United States, but, he
added, that not single dose of com
plete serum had yet crossed the At
iantc because for many years he had
been producing only partial sera, often
ineffective, in order to establish the
eventual therapeutic action of each par
tial tuberculosis anti-toXin.
The most important part of the
treatment, he says, is the anti-t ubcrcu-

Mexico Celebrates
Tooth Anniversary
OF independence
Parades and Other Festivities
Mark Centennial Days OBJ
servance; Oregon Rings
Historic Bell of Hidalgo

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 16.-The tooth
anniversary Of the proclamation of
Mexico's independence was celebrated
here to-day with parades and other
festivities, such as have been incident
to the centennial festival in progress
since the early part of the month. The
celebration was ushered in at mid
night by the usuai anniversary demon
stration in the downtown district,
eliminating in the ringing by Presi-
dent Obregon of the historic Bell of
Hidalgo and reading the independence
proclamation.
The daytime festivities were begun
with visit by President Oregon to
the cathedral, where he deposited
wreaths on the urns containing the
ashes Of the national heroes. Shortly
before noon he reviewed a parade of
thirteen battalions of infantry and
presented each unit with flag.
The feature Of the centennial, how

the world within the next few years.
The sincerity of Dr.. Spahlinger's
claim is indicated by his extreme aver
sion to any thought of distributing the
remedy in any way which hints at
commercialism. If the world benefits
from the remedy it will be on a basis
Of pure philanthropy, he said to-day.
Before the young scientist would
consent to mention of his name in The
Tribune he insisted that false hope
should not be given any human suf-
ferer at present SO far as his treat
ment was concerned.
Treatment Impossible Now
While Dr. Spahlinger himself is con-
WINGED that he has found an absolute
cure for the majority of phthisis
ecases, even those in advanced stages,
he said that it would be at least q
year before it would be possible to
produce sufficient vaccine to begin
distribution on any large scale. At
nal to raise false hopes which would
bring sufferers to Switzerland or
prompt correspondence which it
would be impossible to answer salts
factorily. The vaccine not only is not
available now, hut it is impossible to
treat patients at Geneva, DR.. Spahlin-
ger said.
The Tribune correspondent to-day
visited DR.. Spahlinger's laboratory,
which ten years ago was the Spahlinger
family home situated in the center of

Geneva. Besides being laboratory, it

LONDON, Sept. 16.--Vice Admiral
Mark Kerr has an article in the cur
rent number of "The Outlook" entitled
"The Defense of the. Philippines" in
which he attempts to prove that an
enemy feet attacking the islands could
be destroyed by aircraft.
The same weekly contains an edi-
torial under the heading: "Sink or
Swim at Washington" which says:
American publicists, and until re-
Gently American naval opinion, have
considered that the Achilles heel Of
the United States is the Philippines.
The Philippines, it was thought, could
not be defended against a Japanese
battle fleet because American first line
ships could not be risked in these land
locked waters miles and miles from
home.
THE nearest United States base for
the American fleet when the islands
are fortified will be Guam, but japan
has obtained zap, between Guam and
the Philippines and is now Directing
that If the Americans fortify Guam a
new situation will be created that will
necessitate further defensive action
on her part
admiral Kerr sweeps all these con-
ditlons aside. He argues that America
could defend the Philippines without
sending battle fleet to the East. IF
this be true, Americans do not need
any more dreadnoughts and nobody
will be more pleased than they when
the facts are driven home. Moreover.
if America does not need a great feet
to defend the Philippines, neither
would great fleet help them to at
tack Japan. The problem of the de-

Experiments Successful
Experiments carried on in the last
fourteen years and during the war, in
which the bacteriologist studied con-
stantly and applied his treatment to
several hundred persons, some of them
in the last stages of the disease, con-
WINGED him that he had finally tested
the remedy to the point where it was
advisable to invite outside scientific
investigation. The results of this in
vestigation, along with the results OBJ

ings, caused Dr. Spahlinger to plan

Swiss scientist and bacteriologist, who
has been experimenting for many
years at an expenditure of hundreds

which in time will eliminate the

EMIT THE VAMPIRES.

Some OF the shrewdest men in the
motion picture business say that the
day of the celluloid vampire is wan

as keen about seeing some voluptuous

had meagre audiences. But the tide

We do not believe that the Iessening
demand FOR vampire pictures is caused
by America becoming moral over
night. Rather. we should say that

motion picture men making their
