BROWNS KEEP ON MOVE TOWARD lST
 DIVISION BERTH
By LEO H. PETERSEN Limited Press Staff COrresnOnG


 New York, June 27-UP)-Not need have any fears, but the s, Louis Browns are threatening to SC somewhere in the 1881 American league pennant race.
 The Browns were at the top of the second division today, thanks to a winning spurt of five games, four of them over the world champ ion athletics. While their margin over the Boston Red Sox is only a few percentage points, the Browns have shown enough promise of late to indicate that the experts who could see them as no better than a seventh place club when the season started are probably wrong again.
 Ono Bad Session.
 Collins did his bit toward bring ing the supporters of the Browns better days by pitching the Browns to a to 2 victory over the Red Sox yesterday. Collins held Boston to ten scattered hits and had only one bad inning, the seventh, when Rothrock hit a home run with a mate on base to account for both of Boston's tallies. The Browns scored two runs in the first on two doubles
 
 single, and Burns double manu- factured what proved to be the win ming run in the seventh. Nice Work.
 Pat Caraway's pitching and hit ting featured Chicago's 4 to 2 victory over Washington in the other American league contest played.
 CaraWay allowed the Senators only five hits. two of them home runs by Kuhel, while he rapped out triple and two singles in three times at bat. He tripled in the fifth and came home on Blues single to score what proved to be the wln- ming run.
 The defeat dropped Washington a game and a half behind the pace setting Athletics, whose scheduled game with Detroit was postponed because of wet grounds. The New York-Cleveland contest also was called off on account of rain. Getting Tighter. The National league leadership oi the St Lotus Cardinals was cut tt three and one half games when they dropped a 16 to decision to Brook lyn while New York was defeating Cincinnati. The Robins knocked tho Ai the first inning and continued theil assault on Lindsey and Kaufman tt collect a total of 15 hits, including home runs by O'Doul, Frederick Herman and Thurston, who held tht Cardinals to nine blows. Bill Walker allowed only four hit: l in shutting out Cincinnati. 2 to 0 Fullis' home run following O'Kar' rells striple gave the Giants theil two runs in the third inning. | Cubs Tanned Again. | The Boston Braves made 1t two straight over Chicago, z to 3. Int Braves scored enough runs to wir in the first inning when they as saulted Pat Malone for four run! before he retired in favor of Sweet land. Socks Seibold held the Cub' to two hits until he was removed in the sixth inning after developing a streak of wildness.
 | iPttsburg continued it's listles: playing and dropped 13 to yer dict to Philadelphia. Watt allowed these Pirates 12 hits but kept then fairly we'll scattered.

HUMAN SKIN Of TEN
DEATH TO BACTERIA
But Organisms Thrive on 1t
on Other Days, Scient-
lists Tell Conference.

BALTIMORE, December 80 P1.-
| Mans skin on some days is death to
| bacteria, but on others is something
| they love to touch.
This strange, varying power Of the
skin to kill bacteria was explained to
the Society of American BacteriologiSts
today. The experiments were per-
formed by Justinia H. Hill and Edwin
C. White of the James Buchanan
Brady THEOLOGICAL Institute Of Johns
Hopkins University.
Normal human skins were brought
into contact with living bacteria of va
rious kinds, including anthrax spores.
The results were that sometimes skin
had powerful bactericidal or even
lytic action" The lytic action is some
thing like boiling the bacteria alive,
causing them to dissolve.
But there was no certainty. The
skin" said the report, may be en-
tirely lacking in any action on bac-
terra"
The strangest part of the results was
that this bacterial killing power of the
skin varied with different persons on
different days. There was also diff
ference in individuals tested-some
were poison for bacteria, while the
bugs thrived on others. Also some
bacteria are unaffected by any ones
skin
An indication that many persons are
more or less immune to infantile
paralysis was reported by DR. Maurice
Brodie Of McGill University, Montreal,
Canada.
He tested the blood of % persons
who had not had infantile paralysis.
Of these % carried in their blood
something called an antibody which
had the power of immunizing against
infantile paralysis This immunizing
power amounted to about half that of
the serum made from blood of persons
recovered from the disease.
Further tests showed that of these %
about half could produce serum
from infantile paralysis patients.
Three Boston research workers ap-
peared today before the convention and
charted course that may lead to vic
tory over the deadly Influenza menin-
gifts that attacks infants and young
children.
The report described a specific serum
treatment for the disease and said that
its use by DR.. Ann Gaylor Kuttner, as
siStant pediatrician at the Johns Hop
kins Hospital, in "a hours completely
destroyed infection in a child treated
there this year.
The report was the work of Drs. Le-
Roy D. Fothergill, Joyce Wright and
Hugh K. Ward of Harvard University
Medical School and Inffnts and Chill
dren's Hospital. In it they pointed out
that Is per cent of the acute menin-
giis cases coming to their attention
were Of the Influenza type and that the
disease is almost invariably fatal"
DR.. Edwin B. Fred, professor of bac-
teriology at the University of Wiscon-
sin. was elected president of the So
ciety at the concluding sessions.
DR.. w Mansfield Clark, professor OF
physiological chemistry at the Johns
Hopkins Medical ScFool, was chosen
vice president and DR.. j. M. Sherman
of Cornell University was reelected
secretary treasurer.

lors for next year, DR.. Ivan c. Hall OF

SAYS PARTIES AIM
TO CONF USE VOTERS.
Campaign Funds Not Used to
Educate Public, Cutting
Tells Conference.

The American Political Science As
sociation Division on Political Parties
heard an interesting discussion Of the
use of money in elections at its meet
ing today at the Mayfower Hotel.
Senator Cutting of New Mexico, pre-
senting "a Program for Public Regu-
lation of Campaign Funds" urged
establishment Of State and Federal ap-
propriations for primary and inter
party contests. Under the present Sys-
tenn, Senator Cutting said, most OF tne
campaign money is spent to "betuddIe
the voter, not to educate him. FUR
thermore, he asserted, the corrupt prac-
tices acts cannot cope with private con-
tributions concealed in many forms.
Discussing the present national 30,
litical situation, Senator Cutting salo
we no longer have national partleS. ne
described the present system as gov.
ernment by blocs" and the so-calleo
national party as coalitions OF staVe
groups. co,;
J, A. C Grant, University OF Call
fornia discussed The Kohler Case as
an Illustration of Enforcement DlfhcuI-
ties" The inadequacies Of the WIS
consin election law, as made evident oy
its failure in the Kohler case, we're
pointed out by the California speaker.
The law, he said, was prepared Lol
Republican versus Democratic contests
whereas there actually exist two tac-
tions of Republicans which oppose each
other in State elections. ,
The failure of prediction publicity
provisions in the law also was cited py
Grant, The statute requires pre-pri-
mary statements of campaign expendi-
lures, but does not demand that they
be made public until 10 days after
the voting. Grant urged that an
States order campaign costs be pub
Iished before primaries. Legislature
Investigations following elections, be-
iieved to have been illegal often, are
turned into "a circus" as in the WIS
consin case, Grant said.
A general discussion was participated
in by political scientists attending the

VARIATIONS SHOWN
IN LENGTH Of DAYS
Prof. {. w. Brown tf Yale
Declares Time Changes to
Complete Rotation.

The length of the day-that is, the
time it takes the earth to turn on its
axis-apparently is subject to sudden
changes, Prof. E. w. Brown of Yale
University today told the American
Astronomical Society, of which he is
the retiring president.
This is due, DR.. Brown said, to slight
changes in the diameter of the earth.
The suddenness with which the changes
come shows that it cannot be due to
variations in the gravitational infiu-
ence of any other bodies in the solar
system. Similar sudden changes, he
says, have been found in the rota-
tional periods of certain binary stars.
Lost" Satellite Found.
DR.. Brown also announced the re-
discovery at the Mount Wilson OBJ
servatory last month of the "Iost"
eighth satellite of Jupiter, which orig
inally was discovered on a photograph
taken in 1908. For more than 20 years
astronomers were unable to pick up
the elusive object again. Although it
followed regular orbit around Jupiter,
it was so far away and faint that it
could not be caught at any definite
the calculations of Russian astrono-
mers, who calculated its orbit from
1915 to the present.
The discovery of THE new planet,
Pluto, from calculations of the pertur-
bations OF Uranus, he said, was a lucky
accident, since the perturbations do
not actually exist, but were reported
because of observational errors. All
observations of Uranus since 1881, he
said, show that there are no ap-
preciable disturbances in its orbit.
Objects in the planetary system
which still mystify astronomers. he
said, include the Trojan group of
asteroides, or minor planets, which re-
volve around the sun in the orbit of
Jupiter, keeping always the same dis
tance ahead or behind the giant
planet. Nine of these curious bodies
now have been discovered.
Best Time Measurements.
Another object is the Schwassmann-
around the sun in period of 16 years
in an orbit somewhere between Saturn
and Jupiter. 1t appeared suddenly in
1892 and may have been pulled into
its orbit by the gravitational force Of
Jupiter.
The best measurements of time, DR..
Brown said, depend on the span to
be measured. For extremely short
periods the best results are obtained
from the vibration of electrically ex-
cited crystals. The free-swinging PEN
dulum still is best for measurements
extending over a few days, while for
periods Of from a week to a year the
best results are obtained by using as
a standard the rotation of the earth
as judged by observations of star
transits. For longer intervals, he said,
probably the best standard is the mo-
ton of the@moon in its orbit.
