TO DISEASE FOUND
Rockefeller Institute Doctor Dis
covers Gauge in White
Blood Cells.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December IA new
clue to diagnosis of disease was an
nounced last night by Alexis Carrel,
M. D., of Rockefeller Institute, who is
noted for his immortal chicken heart.
The announcement was made in
Science, the official journal Of Amer
ican scientists. The clue is the changes
of appearance of monocytes, a type
of white blood cells.
In experiments on animals DR.. Car
rel found these cells are excellent imi-
tators; that is, they change their ap-
pearance to fit their environment. In
the serum of a diseased animal they
look different from what they do in
healthy serum.
Moreover they are capable of nu-
merous distinctive guises.
"A monocyte," DR.. Carrel states,
readily modifies its size, shape, nu-
cleus, neutral red vacuoles, fat gran
ules. mitochondria, number of nuclei,
undulating membrane and mode Of
association with other cells"

MOONEY PUTS BAN

William Mooney, postmaster Of

said, land these men and women must

Employe Tempted.
''It came to my notice that the
numbers runners had gained foot
hold among the post Office personnel.
That is carrying gambling game a
little bit too far. In fact, the numbers
game has this charge against it-that
it seeks out the worker in his shirt
sleeves. In most all other games Of
chance the bettor has to make some
approach. He has to make an effort,
at least, to lay bet Not so in the
numbers game. While he is at work
one of the numbers runners taps him
on the shoulder and thus lays him
open to temptation.
This is organization to the nth de-
gree, where racket can send its mis-
sionaries into the home, the market
place and even the post Office and
there solicit bets. If it wern't so seri-
GUS it would be ludicrous. To make
gambling so easy is an evil"
Practice Stopped.
When it became known that the
numbers game was being played in the
Washington Post Office, the practice
was promptly stopped,

 IN CITY COURT

 Was in Crash

 Paul Martone, the witness who testified for Bovine, told Judge Mascolo that he, and not Bovine, was at the wheel of the car when it sideswiped another machine. He got out of the car, he said, but Bovine stayed in the front seat and was arrested on a charge of drunken driving when Patrolman John Chisitinat came to the scene moment later.
 Asked why he had not made himself known to the policeman as the driver, Martone said the police man refused to listen to him and that he was afraid he would be arrested if he insisted.
 "I have my own suspicious about the easel, declared Judge Mascolo, but on the evidence my only step is to grant this man discharge"
 The case had been continued from yesterday to allow Bovine chance to secure Martone as de- fense witness. The states testimony yesterday failed to offer any proof that Bovine was actually driving, while a defense witness said yes- terday that after the accident he saw Bovine seated in the front seat but at a distance from the steering wheel,

Buffalo, N. Y.,. Oct 26-CTP)- Mrs Natalie Couch, republican candidate for congresswoman-at- large from New York state, was "booed" when she condemned the national administration at a lunch con attended by Mrs Franklin D.

The women who at- tended the luncheon, given by the Erie County League of Women Voters. interrupted the talk sev- eral times to show their dis pleasure.
 When Mrs Couch declared that under the new deal the United States was no longer a republic, the "booing" continued for more than three minutes and it was feared the republican candidate would not be able to finish her address. If the government paid less money to peo- pie for not doing things there would be more money to pay peo- pie to do things" was one of the remarks which drew the, displeas- ure of the audience.

She defended her actions in campafgn- ing for the democratic candidate. claiming she did so as an individ- ual and not as the first lady. She recaked her long Friendship for the democratic candidate and de- ciared that Mrs O'Day was fully Iuualified" to fill the position.
