ace Reid in the epic film 81 years
ago, over-taXed his strength by
working in three successive pic
lures.
He suffered the last of several
recent breakcJwns while on a
film location at San Francisco
Bay, returned here in charge OF
a nurse, and entered a Monrovia
sanitarium.
He died at $50 a. m. His death
had been expected but his wife,
Mrs. Mary c. Walthall and IT.
year-old daughter, Patricia, had
not time to reach his bedside be-
fore the end.
walthan started in films in the
"Flickers" era Of 1909 earning IS
a day.
d. w Griffith doomed him to
fame in 1915 as the southern col
onel in the Birth Of a Nation
rated one of the greatest films OF
all time. Its box-office record OF
.S3, 100000 still is tied for fourth.
After a reign as leading man,
he turned character actor.
Walthall's death acted out in real
life his last film role. He was cast
IN one of his favorite character parts
as Dad Brunn." elderly airplane
inventor wba designed the China
Clipper"
Although dogged by poor health
he went along with the film com
pany to the base of the trans-Pa-
cific flying boats on San Francisco
bay. The script called for dramatic
scene In which Dad Brlnn' drops
dead at word that his ship has
flown the Pacific.
Walthall was bundled to the wat
erfront daily in charge Of a nurse,
but intestinal influenza forced him
to take a boat home before the
climax of his role.
The script was rewritten to elm
mate the death scene. The death
of Dad Brunn" will be told in a
conversation between other actors
in the picture.
Walthall was rushed to the san
itarium several days ago when he
was sinking at his ranch home in
San Fernando Valley, a short dis
tance from the residence of Al Jol-
son and Ruby Keeler.

MADRID, October 2.-Grimly hold

to last manpower reserves today to
break the trip-hammer blows of the

miles west of Madrid, official govern

their own f1iers mistook prearranged

Socialist headquarters at Olias Del

(Olias Del Rey, rear guard post of
the Socialists retreating on Madrid
from Toledo, is scant half mile from
Bargas.)
Capture of 400 Fascists in the Ka-

In Madrid the aftermath of the

TOPEKA, Kans., October Gov.
Ak M. Landon pressed bis campaign
for the presidency today with the ac-
tive support of the chief rivals in the
1928 contest-Alfred E. Smith and
Herbert Hoover.
The nominee, shortly after con-
ference on political strategy with Hoo
yer. the Republican victor in '28, well
coined the support of Smith, the
Democratic loser.
Hoover conferred with Landon last
night and left to campaign in the East
beginning in Philadelphia october 16.
The Republican cause is making
progress" Hoover told news men, add
ing that what I'm going to say about
this campaign, I'll say before micro
phone. That's the place to do the
talking now"
After Landon saw his guest to the
train, walking to the car platform
10 say: "Good-by, come to see me
again, Mr.. Hoover" the Governor was
asked for comment on Smiths address
in New York appealing for his elec-
ton.

II deeply appreciate the support of
Alfred E. Smith, great Democrat and
a great American" Landon told re-
porters. He has placed country above
partisanship. The issues of this cam
paign are so fundamental they tran
scend party lines.
This election will decide the form
of government we shall pass on to fu-
ture generations. I am happy to fight

talked with Landon in the spacious
drawing room.
They pulled their chairs close to-
eether for a 55-minute discussion

When asked later whether any jor
decisions had been reached, Landon
replied negatively.
Emerging smiling from the front
door, the nominee and the ex-President
walked to the doorstep. Hoover wore
black single-breasted suit and the
familiar high stiff collar. Landon
wore soft white shirt and dark blue
suit.
Asked if he had made any specific
suggestions to Landon concerning his
campaign, Hoover replied:
Il don't think I care to go into that
now
Hoover, replying to questions, said
he thought the public reaction to Lam

Chinese Scientists Get Ele.
ment 20 Times Stronger
Than Present Serum.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

NEW YORK, October 1.-Two Chi
nese medical scientists yesterday an
nounced that they have extracted
from human pneumonia products q
protein which has protective powers
against this disease.
What they appear to have discov-
cred is the essence OF the protective
principle which physicians have been
using when giving anti-pneumonococ-
Gus serum as q protection against
pneumonia. 1t Is nearly 20 times
more effective than present serum.
The discovery is reported in the
current issue of Science, official jour-
nal Of American science, by Bacon F.
Chow and Hsien WI Of Peiping Union
Medical College, Peiping. China.
Three Steps Taken.
From the bodies of type / pneu-
fnonia germs they extracted a poyl-
saccharide, a sugary substance. With
this sugar they treated the protective
anti-serum of type pneumonia
This second step precipitated from
the serum the "antibodies" which
have the ability to mitigate attacks
of pneumonia.
These "antibodies" were not new to
medicine. The Chinese. however. went
further. With a washing of diluted
alkali they separated about so per
cent Of the proteins from the anti
bodies.
Finally they precipitated this pro-
tein from the antibodies. This new
protein extract proved IS to 20 times
more effective than the original pneu-
monia serum in protecting mice from
the disease.
Get Some Results.
Essentially the same results came
from similar experiments with pneu-
monia serum Of horses and of rabbits
Type three pneumonia likewise yielded
up potent proteins by the same
methods.
THE method" they report, seems
to have general application. 1t has
been q debatable question whether
antibody is itself a protein or some
thing else carried by the protein.
Our present findings leave little
doubt that the antibody itself is a
protein.
"On the practical side, the prepara-
tion Of pure antibody places in the
hands OF the clinicians therapeutic
agents where serum therapy was not
practical before, as in type three

has q very low antibody content"
