UNIVERSITY Va, May 4. = Tadpoles' tails are ceiling Univer- city of Virginia scientists new story of first aid for nerves.
 The tails are transparent. With in them living nerves are watched under the microscope by method reported by Dr. Carl c. Speidel of the medical school of the Ameri- can Association for the Advance mcnt of Science.
 The nerves start as tiny sprouts grow, extend and finally branch into networks. But, like plants breaking through soil, they meet obstacles. On such occasions tiny cells are seen occasionally sliding along the nerve to the point Of trouble.
 These first aid cells are makers of the sheath which insulates al nerves. Sometimes it almost seems that a nerve radios back home for an extra supply of sheath cells The latter have been observed mi grating along one nerve to trans fer at some crossing to another nerve fiber.

German capital. The United States Consul took a hand and Eugenia found her adventure end ed in being returned to the Unit ed States.
 On her returning here she told of learning that her titled" CO., adventurer was playing a leading part in a more grim drama than any she had ever pictured her self as playing in her most im- aginative flights. He was accord ing to the girl, the directing genius of an international ring of narco- tic peddlers, and she found her self in the role of an assistant in smuggling dope, 577
 Getting Information
 Through the information obtain ed from the young girl, customs authorities are hopeful of uncov- ering some of the hitherto undis- covered methods by which large amounts of dope are annually smuggled into this and other ports of the United States. They have already combatted the vest meth cd of importation and recently an unclaimed trung which was found naively packed with dope of an unestimated value fell into the hands of officials.
 Thus ends the quest of adven- ture which led an eighteen-year- old girl from a quiet Missouri town on a road which she thought would end in bringing her fame as another celebrity-but brought her instead, a broken romance and sorrow.

of law observances and changes, will
shape the extra session program. Sen
timent is generally against spring
and summer meeting of the new Con-
gress for variety of reasons. If the
report carries drastic revisions of
law particularly dealing with pro-
hibitiOn, it Is believed that the Presi-
dent will be Obliged to call a special
term. Pressure is reported in some
quarters to postpone the final report
of the commission until Congress adj
journs.
The human element of vanity enters
into the problem of another session.
Some legislators want an extra term
solely to rescue them from the shades
Of obscurity which descend when the
gavel falls. At home, even a Senator
and Representative must watch his
step in commenting on men and af-
fairs. The immunity that they enjoy
in Washington does not extend to pri-
vate talks. They are then subject to
prosecution for libel like the rank and

speeches do not receive the publicity
that is accorded sensational and often
unsupported statements made under
the cloak of Congressional immunity.
Senator Borah of Idaho, for instance,
is one solon who assiduously cult
Yates publicity by frequent statements
on current problems at the slightest
provocation.
The Senate is threatened with night
sessions If filibusters to delay legis-
lation are sprung between now and
March 4. Experienced legislators do
not take kindly to official nocturnal
meetings and endless roll calls which
keep them awake by force. While
many important measures are await
ing consideration it is surprising how
speedy the Senate can show itself
under pressure. The House calendar,
insofar as the dictators known as the
Rules Committee permit, will be
cleared in time for the March ad-
journment. The stumbling block may
come in the failure to agree on the
Muscle Shoals project now in its
twelfth year of Congressional debate.

not only stupid but untrue as we'll.
and he cites number of instances
as proof of the high standing of mod

Studies Social Conditions.
Mrs. Cecilia Hasselstroem, a mem
her of the editorial staff of large
Swedish newspaper in Helsingfors,
Finland, has arrived in this country
for the purpose of studying social con-
ditions, especially unemployment. Her

Won Fame as Ice Pilot.
Anton Jokumsen who won fame as
an ice pilot during the rescue of the
survivors of the "Karluk" expedition
tragedy in the Arctic ocean in 1914,
died last week in hospital in Brook
lyn, N. Y. AS commander of the
whaler, King and Wings" Mr.. Jo-
kumsen time and again demonstrated
his remarkable ability as an ice pilot
and was recognized as the leader OF
his craft. He was born in Denmark,
and had lived in the United States for
many years. During the world war
he was a lieutenant commander in the
American navy.
Scientific Prizes.
M. A. Tuve, L. R. Havstad and Odd
Dahl, three young Norwegian scien-
lists, have received a prize of $1,000
from the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, Cleve-
land, Ohio, in recognition of their re-
markable success in carrying out a
series of intricate experiments calcu-
lated to result in method for produc-
ing artificial radium rays. In view OF
the fact that radium is exceedingly
rare, science and the medical world
are following the experiments with a
great deal of interest; the Carnegie
Institute is sponsoring the expert
ments.
