Exide Batteries Used
By R33 In Wild
Ride of Storm

A cablegran from England,
received a few days ago at the
Exide factory in Philadelphia,
gives the information that Exide
batteries were used on the R3S
during its recent wild flight
through a STERN, according to
Harold Smith of Smiths battery
and radio service.
These batteries furnished the
power for the R33's radio and
enabled it to maintain commune
cation with land and thus helped
its commander to make a safe
landing.
The similarity between this
exciting and unexpected trip of
the R33 and that of the Shen-
andoah, recalls the part played
by Exides during the latter's
wild trip. These batteries, as
in the case of the RIB, furnished
the power that enabled the COM
mander to keep in touch with
land stations during the storm.

MALARIA IS FOUND
! TO CHECK PARES|S
Treatment Which Produces
"ArtificiaI Disease" Is Step
Toward a Cure.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November 21.-lnfecting
patients suffering from paresis, or
softening of the brain. with malaria
TO check the paresis has been tried
out here, DR.. Sydney Kuh, psychia-
trist at Rush Medical College Of the
University of Chicago, announced yes
terday.
The treatment, which produces an
artificial disease" in the patient, is
not a cure for paresis, which thus
far has been found to be incurable,
but In certain persons has checked
the disease for a time.
The tests have Indicated, DIR. Kuh
said, that patients may be brought
back to normal temporarily and may
be restored to usefulness for a given
length Of time. although results re-
main a matter of conjecture. The
treatment is unsuccessful if the pa
tlent shows a negative test for toll
erance To quinine. for the quinine is
necessary to check the malaria. In
that case death might result sooner
from malaria than from paresis. Ex-
periments in Europe with inoCula-
tion with the artificial disease have
been so successful that patients have
been enabled to return to their work
for a time, DR.. kuh says.
I'VE cannot say definitely what our
results will be- he said. THE ex-
periments are not as yet far enough
advanced. We cannot hope to effect
a cure. We can only hope to pro-
long life and usefulness. And this
is. at least, step forward in view
of the utter futility which has at
tended efforts to deal with this dis
ease in the past

Galloping Days.

In old Punktown things are boom
and no pessimists are. glooming,
weeping as they knock on wood.
Everything is up and coming. trade
grows better every day. mills and
factories are humming. all the folks
are making hay Punktown boasts
her boom and f1aunts it, she enjoys
gorgeous time; every man has
work who wants 1t, and the wages
are sublime. People who were lately
busted, profiting from lessons stern,
surely now may well be trusted to put
kopecks in an urn. They have known
wants bitter meaning, heard the
landlords hymn of hate; they have
seen the bailiff leaning, with his
summons, on the gate. Long with
sorrow they were lodging. and they
knew the worlds disdain when mis-
fortune kept them lodging creditors
In street and lane. Now that Punk
towns brisk and breezy. money grow
ing on her shrubs, now that
earnning coin is easy, they will salt
some down in tubs. So you'd think,
+ but you're a stranger to our merry
Punktown ways; when this boom
succumbs to danger, there'll be droves
of busted jays. They are blowing
all they're earning, with no thought
of travail past, wasting coin at every
turning. throwing rubles to the blast.
When this Punktown boom goes kit
ing, mark the hosts of busted men:
scores who flourish at this writing
will be down and out again. Now the
spendthrift Is behaving like a jingled
plutocrat: talk to him of thrift and
saving, and he'll throw bricks at
your hat.

CLAIMS PROFITEERING
BY HARD COAL MEN
American Fair Trade League De-
scribes Alleged Practices for
Which Consumer Pays.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. November 27.-The
American Fair Trade League yester-
day issued a statement charging that
certain unnamed anthracite operators
are prof1teering at the expense Of the
consumer by adding unnecessary links
TO the distribution system.
LAS the result of an independent
investigation" the statement said, I'VE
now have evidence of manipulation
through such means as transferring
ownership of coal at the mouth of the
mine to a distributing company. which
discriminates between dealers and re-
fuses to sell to many reputable firms
of highest standing, referring them
to still another company, which takes
another profit and the head of which
is closely related to the stock own
ership interest which controls not
only the parent company. and the
transportation company. but also the
other companies through which the
coal passes on its journey from the
mine to the householder bin.
The result OF this manipulation is
that retail distributors are forced to
pay and to pass on to their customers
a much higher price than if the coal
were handled by usual commercial
methods"
