DOCTORS GREET
SPINAL TOXIN

Washington members Of the
medical profession expressed in.
terest today in reports from De-
troit that a new antitoxin for the
dread spinal meningitis has been
developed.
The antitoxin, which has been
perfected by DR.. Newell S. Ferry
after several years work, has cut
the death rate from the disease
about so per cent, it was reported.
There is especial interest in the
new antitoxin at this time because

When Is a Song
Frivolous or
Serious?

Is the famous Marine song,
Halls of Montezuma," q recog.
nized military song, or is 1t o
drinking song?
The question arose recently
when a group of Navy and Ma
rine officers asked Leon Bru-
siloff, cafe orchestra leader, to
play the piece, and were told
the service frowned on taking
liberties with the song in public
places.
It is said that high Marine
officers frown on frivolous" use
of the piece, but when the Off
GERS said they'd ''never heard Of
such a ruling" Mr.. Brusiloff
started wondering what it's all

Playground Fund Asked
A vigorous protest regarding the
condition of the Hoover municipal
playground was made in report
by Charles A. Strobel, who said

regularly ignored, Notwithstanding

Fairgrounds in other sections Of
Washington, he said.

Mr.. Strobel were named to place
the matter before Senator William
H. King and Representative Mary

1t was the birthplace of Boies
Penrose in November, 1860, and
while he occupied the leading place
in Pennsylvania politics for nearly
fifty years, it remained the ex-of-
ficio sanctum of the party.
For many years before the SEN

house was arranged solely for his
comfort. Every room had especial

assistant secretary of the Young

Chicago. He continued in that po-
sition until 1896, when he began his
evangelistic work, which eventual

United States and made him
known on both sides of the Allan
