Many Worlds Revealed
Outside Known Universe

Tucson, Ariz.-By discovering Els
land universes" within the constellation
of Hercules, DR.. e. f. Carpenter of
Steward observatory at the University
of Arizona has succeeded in extending
the universe far beyond the limits now
known.
Two hundred and fifty groups of cit
tie worlds" Doctor Carpenter believes,
make up the super-galaxy, the twenty
fifth to be discovered.
The figures, as revealed by the scien-
fist, are, Of course, staggering, as the
island universes" are fifty million
light years away-and light travels six
trillion miles in a year.
Some of the "little worlds" Doctor
Carpenter has found, are more than
10000 light years in diameter. mas
much as it takes only an eighth of a
second for light to travel the circum.
ference of our earth, the size of the
little worlds" is almost more than
the mind can conceive.
One and one-half million light years
is the estimated distance across the
"super galaxy" The island uni
verses are not brilliant.
Importance of the discovery, Doctor
Carpenter said, lies in the revelation
to man Of how expansive is the uEi-
verse.

WORKS ON SERUM TO
PREVENT PNEU MONA
Noted Immunologist Hopes
to Be Successful.

Philadelphia.-A serum for the pre-
vention of one of mankind's most dan
gerous ailments = pneumonia - is the
new objective of DR.. John A. Kolmer.
noted immunol0gisr, who has just dis
covered what he declares to be the
worlds first successful vaccine against
infantile paralysis.
The energetic scientist, who heads the
medical staff of Temple university here,
made this disclosure after describing
the unusual experiments which result
ed in devising the anti-paralysis vac
cine.
He said:
Eat present l am attempting to pro-
cure serum for the prevention of
pneumonia.
II hope to be successful with it in
the course of time"
The famed immunolOgisr declined
to disclose details of his new expert
ments. He, instead, preferred to dis
cuss the research work he has already
done on the successful anti-paralysis
serum which he injected into his own
veins and those of a laboratory as
sistant.
Preventative Measure.
Doctor Kolmer stressed the fact that
the vaccine is entirely a preventative
measure and is in no way a cure for
poliomyllitis after infection sets in.
The scientist explained he is now
ready to attack the problem of cura-
tive treatment Of the disease. Doctor
Kolmer said his interest was aroused
in the problem of finding a satisfac-
tory vaccine by the "infantile paraly-
sis" epidemic of three years ago in
Philadelphia and environs.
Professor Kolmer announced:
"In the near future 1 intend to vac
cinate my own two sons with my
serum"
The boys are eleven and fifteen years
of age.
Both Doctor Kolmer and his assist
ant, attractive Anna NJ Rule, risked
their lives in order to demonstrate the
success of the new vaccine. The vac
cine contains the virus of the deadly
poliomyelitis, which is the medical
term for infantile paralysis.
Said Doctor Kolmer:
81 am convinced that the vaccine is
entirely successful"
Neither of us suffered any ill eff
fects from the injections.
Miss Rule volunteered to submit to
the injections of the serum and dis
played the highest courage in the face
of possible death.
"The vaccine is available now to
ward off any possible epidemics of
acute anterior poliomyelitis that may
be lurking in the future"
Vaccine From Spine.
The successful vaccine is prepared
from the spinal cord of monkeys that
have developed the disease after the
injection of the poliomyelitis virus into
the brain under ether anesthesia. The
spinal cord of one monkey, incidentally,
will furnish about seven ounces of vac
cine, sufficient for the vaccination of
about 90 children.
The vaccine containing the virus Is
treated with a chemical substance de-
rived from castor beans called sodium
ricinoleate. The presence of the sodium
ricinoleate does not completely kill the
virus, but effects change that renders
the serum safe for injections into mon
keys and human beings.
The discoverer of anti-paralysis vac
cine lives in suburban Cynwood. He
is married and has two children. He
was born in Homecoming, Nd, in 1856.

Waiwa; Indians

The Waiwai Indians we're friendly
and of very pleasant disposition. For
Indians, they were remarkably good
looking, and some of the girls could
have compared favorably in this re-
gard with their white-skinned sisters
Of North America. Their skin was al
most white. The name Of the tribe, in
fact, was derived originally from this
circumstance. The word "Waiwai"
means ''tapioca" in the dialect of sew
eral British Guiana Indian tribes.

 He leaned against the doorway of the restaurant, savoring the last pleasures of the meal when little black dog scampered around the corner of the street and galloped through the dust toward Don Raoul. It was evident that the dog would pass the gentleman at distance of about five yards.
 Don Raoui drew his revolver from his belt. He cooked and leveled it at the loping dog and pressed the trigger. The report and the yelp of the little animal broke the still ness of the sleepy street. The dog squirmed in the dust. and began to crawl back to the corner from which it came. Don Raoul. in the act of replacing his revolver. made a .liss'ng noise of self re proach. and aimed and fired again. The dog quivered and lay still. The man nodded thoughtfully. yet with evident satisfaction. and pushed the revolver into it's holster. His shoulders straightened. His eyes darted up and down the street swiftly to see if any had witnessed his lapse in craftsmanship. He sighed. and lighting a black cigaret strolled down the street toward the freight wharves.
