Amazing Improvement.

It's a strange thing that now after

simple old-fashioned recipe of but

But it is easy to understand when

make in your own skin and the short

harsh wrinkles, reduce enlarged
pores and give your complexion a

FIND SOUND WAVES
THAT DEAL DEATH
California Scientists Con-
duct Successful Tests.

Berkeley, Calf. = Death dealing
sound waves!
An experiment in this strange new
field has been successfully carried out
by three University of California
scientists.
They demonstrated that high-fre-
Quency sound waves, emanating from
a crystal vibrating at the rate Of
100000 times q second, will kill large
protocol.
So terrific and so instantaneous
was the effect Of the lethal sound
wives, that the gil. flaments Of the
protocol were torn from their bodies.
Strange fields Of conjecture for
scientists of the future have thus
been opened.
Tell Of Work.
A. II. Olson, associate professor In
the department Of chemistry, one Of
the eXperimenters, pointed out that
previous experiments had been con-
Quoted in this same field; that he and
his associates, f. o. Schmitt, research
assistant, and 9. I'll. Johnson, teach
ing fellow, have merely carried on the
work to a higher degree of perfec-
ton.
Beneficial rather than destructive
results arc more the goal of the local
scientists. Bloodless surgery has
been accomplished by the same meth
DDS used to kill the microscopic or
ganisms.
In carrying out the experiment,
which was begun two years ago, they
found it necessary to invent and to
build much of their own apparatus.
They perfected glass needles to carry
the sound vibrations, the points of
which we're so fine as to be almost
invisible.
This delicate instrument was neces-
sary because all the experiments
must needs be carried out under
powerful microscopes. They were ex-
ploring in q world unknown to the
naked eye.
First q drop containing the protocol
was placed on a microscopic slide and
a glass cover laid over 1t. The slide
was then laid over an oscillator dish.
Sensitive Needle.
The oscillator dish contained q
crystal which was caused to vibrate
by the passage Of an electrical cur
rent through the liquid In which 1t
was immersed.
In conducting the experiment with
planarian worms, the glass needle
was used. The large end Of the
needle was placed in the oscillator
dish, and the point Of the needle d.
rected against the worm.
So delicate was this operation that
the scientists used an extremely sensl-
tive instrument, the micromanipula-
tor, with which to guide the needle.
They discovered that when the
needle point was placed against the
worm, ever though lightly, the vibrat
ing point instantly burned the worm
If the shank of the vibrating poin'
was placed across the worm, the bod!
would be severed.

quency sound waves, 1t was ex'
planned, but none have developed the
technique to such a high point. With
the glass needle as perfected on the
Berkeley campus 1t is possible to OBJ
serve the effect of sound waves not
only on each tiny cell, bat even on
parts of the cell.

SON
REARED BY A
Mother Sees Boy for First
Time in 80 Years.

New Orleans, La.-Separated 40
years by the wide gulf of Atlantic, a
mother and the son she reared by
mail now ar reunited.
Mrs. Mary Ann Herman Moonan
has seen her son, George A. Moonan,
Dublin barrister, for the first time
since he was seven years old.
Although related by the closest of
blood bonds, they met virtually as
strangers.
The man barely remembered the
mother who had left him with rela-
tives in Ireland WHEEL she left that
country to visit her father and moth
err, who had migrated to New Orleans.
Moonan's mother never returned.
She kept constantly in touch and d.
rected his rearing by mail. On nu-
merous occasions she planned to go
back to her native land, but as time
sped on, the old ties weakened and
the new ties strengthened.
1t was tomorrow for her and to-
morrow never came. But now this
slender woman of eighty-two is plan
ming to sail for Ireland under the
protecting arm of her flfty-six-year-
old son.
She would not come to him so he
came IT, her. The mother had turned
deaf ears to his cabled and written
pleas to return to her native shores
so Mocnar came t. plead his case in
person.
With the picture of her relatives
waiting to receive her in old Ireland
she capitulated, packed her belong
ings and is ready for the Journay.
"Old scenes, old songs, old friends
again. is the thought that is carrying
Mrs. Moonan over the ocean.

Hyena Evidently Felt
Solitude Had Charms

The cage Of the spotted hyena at
the Washington zoo Is empty. Not
that visitors are much, they never
saw the animal anyway, but 1t marks
the passing Of the only hermit beast,
says the Pathfinder Magazine, in the
great animal collection. The hyena
had No name. Neither had he a laugh.
Longing for the South Africa rocks
where he spent his cub days deprived
him Of his reputed sense Of humor.
On the day of his arrival at the ZOO,
as IL in ful6llment Of a vow that he
wouldn't expose himself to the gaze
Of the curious, he crept into the box
shelter In the corner Of his pen and
never voluntarily left it, day or night.
They tried to starve him out and they
forcibly dragged him out, but 1t was
no use, the animal always ran back.
So they left him alone, and he died
after twelve years Of self-enforced
confinement.
