Colds in Head Prove
Impervious to Vaccine

Manchester, England.-A cold in the
head is still cold in the head at the
Manchester universitys where for sew
en- months experiments have been go
ing on to determine the value of vac
cination. Two hundred and eighty
six persons took part in the test.
The conclusion that vaccination
against colds has no preventive value
was suggested by the results Of an
experiment carried on by DR.. A. F. c..
Davey, DR.. F. R. Ferguson and DR..
W. w. @. Topley.
Students and members Of the uni
versity staff offered their services for
the experiment OF these 1873 were
inoculated with a stock vaccine con.
tanning eight different kinds of mi
crobes, and 148 were not inoculated
Results showed that the 1873 inocu.
lated persons had 2O3 colds, the 149
uninoculated subjects had 1853 colds
during the period of the test and that
the average duration of the colds
among the inoculated was 10 days
and among the others ten and one
half days.
The investigators, however, con.
cluded that the evidence does not jus
tify with certainty any conclusion that
vaccine caused any harm.

Boone Grauestones Saved

Daniel Boone's parents died before
their son had come into prominence.
His father, Squire Boone, died In 1765
and his mother In 1777. They were
buried in the Joppa graveyard, near
Mocksville, N. c., and two small
stones were erected to mark the
graves.
Almost century passed before the
accomplishments of Daniel Boone
brought about historic interest in
the graves. Then visitors began to
chip off little pieces of the grave.
stones as souvenirs. Fearing the
stones would be destroyed, residents
had them taken to Mocksville bank
and placed in safekeeping. There they
remained until the Boone Trail High
way association had them returned to
the graveyard and set into solid con-
crete beyond the reach Of the casual
vandal.-Kansas City Times.

HOPE FOR TITANIC
SHAEI IN e YEARS
Sponsors in Washington Seek
More Funds in Congress.

/ Observation-Disclosures which for
fifteen years have blocked the cree
ton In Washington of a statue COM
memorating the 1900 victims Of the
Titanic disaster are slowly being
cleared away. Members of the Won.
ans Titanic Memorial association
nope that their objective will be
reached in another two years.
Organized shortly after the disaster
in 1912, the association promptly
raised more than $4,000 for the me-
mortal, but 1t was not until 1917 that
a bill authorizing use of public
grounds for the purpose got through
the Legislative jam in congress- Then
the site which had been selected was
denied.
A new site was chosen, on the Po-
tomac near the ground dedicated to
the Lincoln memorial, and Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney of New York went
ahead with completion Of the statue
from design approved by the Fine
Arts commission several years ear
lier.
The new site was under water, but
plans had been made for construction
of a sea wall as part of the program
for linking Potomac and Rock parks
Appropriations for the wall were
hard to get, however, and work on 1t
had to be suspended In 1922, after
only part of the riprap foundation had
been put in. The last congress grant
ed $4,000 for resumption of the work.
but. that was enough to provide for
little more than repairs on the old
foundation. Engineers estimated that
another S175,OO0 would be needed.
Mrs. William Howard Taft is inter-
ested in the plan, which Is under the
guidance of Mrs. John Hays Ham
mond, first secretary of the associa-
ton, and Mrs. Robert S. Chew.
These women are confident that the
necessary appropriation will be grant
ed by the next congress and that soon
afterward they will be able to COM
plete their task.
