Enemy Of Pneumonia.
In peat from the cranberry boys of
New Jersey the Rockefeller Institute
has found an engine giving animals
immunity against one form of pHeu-
monia of the lungs.
Engines are best known as the es-
sentials in digestive fluids. The peat
engine digests part of the pneumonia
germ, especially his protective overcoat
or capsule" enough of 1t so that the
body's natural defense against the dis
case do the rest.
The discovery is q new field for de-
veloping immunity, but has not been
brought to the stage of human use.
This peat engine acts only on type
| three pneumonia. Deadliness Of pneu-
monia is partly because its germs, ex-
actly alike in appearance. differs SO
widely that a remedy potent against
one of them is usually ineffective against
the rest of the family.
Engines, however, exists In all living
substances, SO there may be POSSIBLE
ity of finding whole battery for pneu-
monia.

Man Eats Much Lead.
Civilized men are eating a surprising
quantity of lead, but need not be wor-
ried, according to Dr. Robert A. Kehoe
of the University of Cincinnati. He re-
ported recent experiments showing that
the body protects ITSELF from any sud-
den influx of extra lead by eXcreting it
as fast, and even at times faster, than it
is taken in.
A Cincinnati medical student was the
lead guinea pig. For weeks he bought
two meals every time he ate, one for
himself and one for the scientist to
analyze for lead.
DR.. Kehos said lead was found in
milk, bread, bran, crackers, Frankfurt
ers, Sausages, meat, potatoes, candy ice
cream and numerous fruits. He at
tributed the lead in bread, bran and

gaming table in the basement of
premises 528 Eighth street, where a

The new radio range beacons es-
tablished by the Department OF Com
merce along the coastal airway passing
through the National Capital, includ-
ing the local station at Hunters Point,
Va, passed their most critical test last
night when a halfscore airmail pilots
rode the radio beams through fog which
blotted out the airway beacon lights
and other landmarks.
Every Plane on Schedule.
Though the weather was dangerously
thick, every plane went through on
schedule, including the first double Sec
ton flown on the Southbound night run
since the Christmas period. Pilots on
BOTH sections of the coastal line, north
and south of Richmond, Va, reported
the beacon signals were coming through
strong and that hourly weather re-
ports could be received from several
stations along the line at once.
On the first night northbound run
out of Richmond, Pilot Larry" Pabst,
former Marine Corps flyer, reported
that as soon as he climbed out Of the
Richard E. Byrd Airport at Richmona
he was able to pick up the radio range
beacon broadcaSts from the National
Capital and Hadley Field, N. j., though
it was not necessary for him to pick up
even the National Capital beacon until
he reached Quantico, Va, where the
change is made from the course laid
down by the radio beacon at Richmond
to the course laid down from the Hunt
ers Point station.

bound mail yesterday afternoon, was
the last to get through before the

into slavery, which, until recent years,
was rampant among the IboS. In early
days great numbers of slaves were
transported to America, the West In
dies and other places.
1.-THE principal method of recruiting
the supply of slaves, it is said, was by
capture in war, kidnapping, purchase
and pawning. The most brutal of all
was the manner in which children were
kidnapped and sold into slavery. Obser-
vations were made to discover a hut
wherein it was customary for children
to sleep. and in the dead of night It
would be raided. If an entrance were
affected any elders present were in i'm
minnent danger of being ruthlessly
murdered so there would be no one
left to reveal the identity of the thieves
The children were gagged and bound
and carried away. rolled in cloth or

ess was extraordinary and according to

SENATE BODY CALLED
ON PAVING BILL TODAY
Capper Asks for Decision on
Whether to Make Report
Favorable.

The Senate District Committee may
come to decision this afternoon on the
new plan of assessing property owners
in Washington for street improvements.
Chairman Capper has asked the COM
mittee to convene at 2:30 o'clock to de-
eide whether to report out the bill.
The District Commissioners are press
ing for action, because a series of court
decisions have left only fragments OF
the original Borland law in operation
This bill seeks to iron out the injustices
in assessments which led the courts to
set aside a large part of the present law.
Local citizens, however, have urged
the committee not to revitalize the spe-
cial assessment law, contending that
abutting property owners should not
have to share in the cost of street
paving.

Failure to Get Unanimous
Consent Blocks Passage
of Two Proposals.
SMALLER MEASURES
ARE GIVEN APPROVAL
Action May Come Up Later During
Present Session-House Also
Must Act.

The new District traffic bill and the
bill to establish a reduced fare for
school children on cars and busseS both
failed to pass at the night session of
the Senate last night, because unani-
nous consent could not be obtained
They may be considered again, however,
before the present Congress ends.
A number of smaller bills were passed,
including the following:
To authorize Maryland communities
between Great Falls and Washington to
take water from the District conduit
for fire-fighting purposes. House action
is still required. 1t was explained the
placing hose of fire engines into open
ings in the conduit, and will not require
new construction work.
Will Move Statue.
A bill authorizing the Commissioners
to settle the claim of Thomas F. Myers
who was injured by a private automo-
bile which was being used by a police
man to take some one to a hospital
This bill also goes to the House.
A joint resolution to sanction the re-
moval Of the statue of Maj. Gen. John
A. Rawlins from in front of old Center
Interior Department.
When the traffic bill was reached
Senator Blaine offered an amendment
to define the procedure to be followed
by motorists after they are involved III
accidents The amendment was agreed
to, following which Senator Mcclellan
Democrat, of Tennessee, asked for post
ponement of final action on the bill until
he could study it. Senator Kean, Re-
publican, of New Jersey, is in charge OF
the bill.
Senator Mcclellan also asked for post
ponement earlier in the day of the sep
arate bill, which has passed the House,
to promote safety by requiring motorists
who are convicted of serious traffic Of
lenses to furnish proof of financial re-
sponsibility before they drive again.
Fare Bill Put OFF.
The reduced car fare bill for school
children was postponed at the request
of Senator Metcalf of Rhode Island.
Before that was done Senator Thomas.
Democrat, of Oklahoma offered an
amendment to enable the Board of Edu-
cation to provide carfare for needy chill
dren and to provide that one fare would
be sufficient to convey pupil from
home to school.
questions were considered in committee
before the bill was presented without
them.
Two other bills relating to the beauti-
flcation of the National Capital and
its environS were postponed One
would authorize an additional amount
to complete the George Washington
Memorial Boulevard and to buy some
of the adjacent land, which was OBJ
jected to by Senator Howell The other

General to expedite several condemna-
ton cases, which Senator johnson of
California asked be postponed.
