For many years we have contem-

Our engineers have worked for
years On this problem and, we be-

They succeeded in constructing
bodies that preserved the established

models, yet gave space for seven

We found. after numerous scientific

SCIENTISTS TO SPEND
HOLIDAYS AT MEETING
Eighty-Fourth Session of A.A.A.S.
to Open in Nashville, Tenn, De-
cember $4,000 to Attend.

BY the Associated Press.
More than 1000 scientists in all
parts of the country are preparing to
spend their Christmas holidays to.
gether at Nashville. Tenn, reviving
friendships. listening to lectures and
talking shop.
They will gather for the annual
meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science,
which will begin December IS and
continue through December 81. IT
will be the eighty-fourth annual ses-
sion of the association, and. as usual.
about 80 related scientific societies
will meet at the same time and place
Many of the leading scientists of
the Nation will speak at the general
sessions. Arthur A. Moves. the new
president Of the association. is one of
the most famous chemists in the
United States. Director of the Gates
Chemical Laboratory of the California
Institute of Technology at Pasadena
and recognized as a leader in the re-
organization of methods of teaching
his science. He recently was award
ed the Davy Medal for his work in
physical chemistry by the Royal So
ciety at London.
Following the tradition of the as
ISOLATION, the principal lecture among
the 1000 or so papers which will be
read. will be given by the retiring
president L. H. Bailey of Ithaca, n.
Y. He is botanist. who was director
of the College of Agriculture at Cor
nell during the period of its forma ion
and was chairman of the 1908 Roose-
welt Commission on Country Life.
Sigma XI, the scientific honor So
ciety, which annually has charge of
one of the general sessions. has desig-
mated DR.. Clarence c. Little, president
of the University of Michigan. as its
lecturer this year. He will speak as
a biologist. on the prospects for the
study of heredity in higher animals
and man.

EXPLORERS TASKS
EASED BY SCIENCE
Jaggar Alaskan Expedition
to Have Equipment Many
Others Lacked.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Modern science not only is making
life easier and more comfortable in
civilized communities, but it is MAX
ing the task of the explorer less diff
ficult and his accomplishments more
certain.
When DIR. Thomas A. Jaggar, di-
rector of the United States Geological
Survey Station at the Mount kilauea
Volcanic Laboratory, in Hawaii, leads
a National Geographic Society eXpedl-
ton TO the Pavlof Volcano group of
islands off the Alaskan peninsula next
Summer they will be equipped with
conveniences which explorers a few
years ago did not dream of.
Test Amphibian Boat.
In addition to DIR. Jaggar, one of
the foremost volcanologists in the
world, the party will include special
lists in photography, wild life and
botany. The personnel has not been
selected, but plans for equipping the
expedition are already under way.
If tests now being made prove 1t
satisfactory, the scientists also will
have an amphibian boat to facilitate
their movement over land and water.
During a reconnaissance of the Alas
kan peninsula this Summer DIR. Jag
gar found that such a vehicle would
be valuable, the bays being numerous
and making a motor boat desirable,
while the beaches and cinder lowlands
offer excellent natural highways for a
motor car. Since luggage is an even
more important consideration on
trip to Americas last frontier than 1t
is on a pleasure excursion or a bust
ness journey, the advantage of being
able to get along on land or water
with a single vehicle is obvious.
Once Immigrant Highway.
The Pavlof group is west of Mount
Katmai, Alaska, the worlds largest
active volcano, and is part of the long
line of similar islands which provided
a highway for emigration from Siberia
to this continent long before the dawn
of written history. The eruption of
Mount Katmai in 1912 is estimated to
have produced the second loudest noise
in the memory of the race.
The loudest may have been the eX-
plosion of Mount Pelee, in the West
Indies, in 1902, when San Pierre, Mar
Unique, was wiped out with the loss
of 80. 900 lives and "a vessels. 1t was
TO investigate this disaster that DIR.
Jaggar made his first voyage Of in
vestigation, under the auspices of the
National Geographic Society.

TOOTHBRUSH AIDS
TOCURB TRACHOMA
Painful Eye Diseases Held
Under Control by DR..
MCMuIIen'S Cure.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Because of a toothbrush and the
imagination of DR.. John McMullen,
United States Public Health surgeon,
trachoma, the painful and disabling
disease which has attacked the eyes of
two purest racial strains in America,
appears to have been brought under
control
Health Service workers are still try
ing to determine exactly what causes
the infection and to develop skin
djagnostic test. But the cure, worked
out by DR. McMullen among the An
glo- Saxon descendants living in the
mountains of Tennessee, Kentucky,
Georgia, Missouri, Arkansas and Ala
bama, has proved so effective that it
seems reasonable to hope that virtual
eradication of the disease may even
tually be achieved.
Worked Among Mountaineers.
Public Health physicians first be-
came interested in trachoma through
their work with aliens entering the
country. Except among the foreign
population, few cases were found in
the large cities, but they were numer-
Gus and apparently contagious, among
the Indians. Then the affection of the,
mountain folk. who think and speak
in the language used in Shakespeare $
time. was called to the attention of
the service, and DR.. McMullen was
sent into their hills to help them.
A large, jovial man, he first trav-
eled among the suspicious, isolated
mountaineers on mule back, cracking
jokes, visiting with them, convincing
them ne was their friend. one who
could be trusted. He opened his first
clinic in an old house at Hindman.
KY, September Il. 1912, and invited
the sufferers-whole families and com
munities-to come in from their scat
tered homes and let him help them.
From that beginning, he moved from
place to place throughout the affected
sections of the vast region, chiefly on
mule back, setting up his little hos
pitfalls with nurse or two. AT first,
the patients came slowly and with
little confidence. but he proved him
self a helpful friend. and more and
more they brought their suffering eyes
to him.
