MALARIA FOUND
PARES|SCURE
Photo by International

A discovery that paresis, a
deadly brain disease. can be
cured by giving the patient an
other disease, was announced yes
terday by DR.. William A. White,
superintendent at st. Elizabeth'S
Hospital.
According to DR.. Whites re-
port, it has been found that
paresis is caused by clusters of
bacteria in the brain. They are
virile germs, but cannot endure
a temperature of 104 degrees.
Physicians raise patients bodily
temperature to 104 by injecting
germs of malaria fever, which,
with care, may be readily cured.
Less than 10 per cent of 1872
patients given the malaria treat
ment at St. Elizabeth's Hospital
died, DR.. Whites report revealed.
Formerly the disease was held
fatal in every case.

Friday, Dec 9--Since the open ing of the week the only market development among vegetable pro- ducts was the slightly weaker tone in potatoes. Since the middle of November potatoes had been show ing a frmer and gradually higher trend. Last week prices advanced at Maine shipping points to new high levels and this week opened with the market holding firm at the advance. Since then, however, there has been . little weakening on the part of Maine potato own CTS. Latest reports. were that car- lots delivered here in Waterbury were to had at prices about five cents per 100 pounds lower than on Monday. Local trading was continuing unchanged.
 The bulk Of native vegetables now on sale remained at prices little changed throughout the week. Kale and carrots were not quite as firm early in the week due to warm open weather. permitting heavier hlarketings. but have since decreased in supply and returned to previous price levels.

of attitude in parliamentary cir cles, where there had been strong sentiment for default, and in the Paris press. The vitriolic attacks on the United States were dropped suddenly by to-day's morning newspapers.
 Herriot was expected to seek reservations to the payment. If Britain offers to make the payment in gold, France was expected to offer to earmark gold for the United States at the Bank of France and leave the metal there pending the possibility of debt re- vision.
 The government, and the oppo- sition formerly opposed to paying the December installment, ap- peared to believe better deal for debt revision could be gained through making the payment. The surprising change of opinion was exemplifed by Gaston Bergerey, fire brand" of Herriot's radical socialists. He threatened week ago to wreck the cabinet rather than see the December installment paid. He told the United Press to- day:
 If the annuity is paid, France may frankly ask for and obtain revision of debts from the new American congress"

 The Fixed Stars
 Again we welcome to our nine o'clock map the wonderful area of sky which contains the contel- lations of Orion, Taurus. Geminl and the two Dogs. Taurus, the Bull, leads this procession west ward and is well up in the sky by map-time. Ins this oonstellation we find the first-magnitude star Aldebaran, the eye of the bull, and the two naked-eye clusters. the
 baran is slightly yellowish In color
 and may be readily found by ex- tending the line of Orion's belt toward the west. It is an enorm- ous star, a giant, equal to fifty thousand suns like ours in volume and to ninety suns in lighting-emit- ting power. The Hyades are the
 loose cluster of stars surrounding Aldebaran. They all belong to q
 single gravitationally united sys- tenn for they are moving through
 space in the same direction and with the same speeds. At the pres- ent time this cluster Is about 125 light years away from us. Altogether there are about thir- ty-nine stars in this family. The Pieiades form a similar cluster group, but much finer to the eye. The latter cluster comprises sev- eral hundred stars, of which seven are quite bright and easily visible to the unaided eye. On good ob- serving nights several more. may be seen without the use of ahy in- strument. The brighter stars of
 this group are each equal to about
 Q hundred sums like ours in light
 emitting power, or luminosity.
 Their distance from us is probably
 we'll over three hundred light
 years. At that distance star as bright as our sun would not be visible to our eyes without instru- mental aid.
 The constellation of Auriga. the Charloteer, lies north of Taurus and is particularly marked by the very bright first t-magnitude star Capella, the Shegoat. This is q white or yellowish- star
 whose light resembles very closely l, that of the sun. It is the fifth in rank on the list of bright stars, practically equal to Vega, the blue- white star in Lyra, now low over
 the northwestern horizon. Capella
 Is of much greater luminosity than Vega. for it is very much further away. If the earth were planet

On December Fist, at about a quarter past eight in the evening by Eastern Standard Time, the sun will be on the winter solstico at it's furthest distance south from the celestial equator. This Is the official commencement of the win- ter for inhabitants of the north ern terrestrial hemisphere. At this time we have our shortest day and longest night. and the sun has it's lowest noon altitude in the sky. In the corresponding south ern attitudes, of course, the reverse situation is found: longest day and the days grow slowly longer, comes noticeable only some weeks later It is interesting to note that the coldest period in our winter comes not at the time of the win- ter solstice when 1t might reason ably be expected, but about a month later. This is true on the average, though 1t may not hold for any one year. The reason for this lag of the winter lies in the fact that the earth still possesses q
 fair amount of stored heat which
 replenishes the heat lost by radia- tion during the long winter night.
 The Full Moon Rides High
 Mercury will be morning star during the last two weeks of the year, reaching greatest western elongation (greatest distance in the sky from the sun westward) on the 23rd. On this date it will rise about two hours before sunrise and will be visible over the southeast ern horizon until the sky brightens sufficiently to extinguish It's light. Venus, too, Is fine morning star, beginning the month in the con- stellation of Virgo and then nov Ing through the neighboring group of Libra. Venus will not be an evening star again until next summer. Mars is in Leo. east of the first-maknitude star Regu1us. and rises about midnight. It is thus changing from 6 morning star to an evening star and will appear on our nine o'clock sky map in a short time. It's magnitude is in- creasing quite rapidly. Jupiter is also in Leo. It lies east of Mars at the beginning of the month and the two planets will be very close together for the entire month. They can be easily identified be- cause of the fact that Jupiter is much the brighter and Mars much the redder in color. saturn is the last of the p,cnets which are visible to the unaided eye and It IS an eve

 The action granted were those of Elsie M. Bunnell against Ed ward L. Bunnell, on grounds of cruelty and Edward Stein against Margaret Stein on grounds of de- sertion. Attorney Blansfield repre- sented both petitioners.
