Francis now has under observation,
just as he will have under observation
their children and grandchildren unto
the third and fourth generation. Tests
will be made in the course of time
upon these future progeny of the in
fected white mice to ascertain whether
the spirochetic infection Of relapSing
fever is hereditary and capable of
being transmitted in the blood stream
without any other means of infection
than inheritance.
A MOTHER experiment conducted by
DR. Francis along this same line
was to take number of cimex lee
tularius~vulgarly known as bed
bugs"-and place them on the tails
of white mice who had been infected
with relapsing fever. Six months
after allowing them to feed in this
manner upon the infected mice, the
scientist ground some of them bugs
up and injected them into healthy
mice He found they were capable
Of injecting healthy mice when so in
jected. However, they could not in

they were permitted to feed every

period.
The problem. to DR.. Francis mind.
had devolved into one of finding some
way to Offset the effects of the germ
that proved so tenacious of life and
so potent even under conditions gen.
orally regarded as inconducive to con-
tinuation Of life He gave his atten-
ton to study of the germ itself
The fact that it was spiral in form
was clue. A great German scientist,
after many years of experimentation,
had, years before, discovered COM
pound of arsenic with which he had
succeeded in killing the germ of
syphilis. Today arsphenamine. as it
is known, is in general use in COM
batting this particular spirochete. and
because of its highly toxic nature,
every batch of this product sold in
the United States, without exception,
is tested in the laboratories of the
National Institute of Health in Wash
ington-which is another story. How
ever, the G-men of science reasoned,
If arsphenamine is potent in killing
one spirochete, why not try it on
another?
Injections of arsphenamine, in the
proper relative proportions, we're
given animals infected with relapsing
fever. In every instance the solu-
tion worked against the destruction
of the spirochetic germ, eventually
destroying it and bringing about a

included. But even haSty glance at
what the accessory market has to offer
for 1887 consumption shows that any
buyer can go considerably beyond the
"de luxe class and make his new
creation still more appealing.
The innovations range all the way
from a fan with rubber blades to g
heater that operates on the combuS-
ton of gasoline. En- route are such
developments as the two-speed rear
axle, the filter that keeps engine oil
seemingly eternally clean, and an
hydraulic equalizer for installation on
cars that are equipped with mechanic
cal braking systems. All manner of
speed governors are in the new sea-
sons picture, not to mention a great
influx of windshield defrosters. There
is even complete vacuum power sys-
tenn of car control for installation on
machines to be driven by those who
have lost full use Of their limbs.
In the radio field alone there are
some highly ingenious antennae for
those who want improved reception,
with all-steel tops. These range from
under the running board aerials,
fully protected against damage from
water and stones, to the whip type.
The later Is reminiscent of the horse
and-buggy days. A new type of aerial
is a miniature railing that runs over
the top of the car from front to rear,
giving Streamlined car the appear
ance of having sprouted fin.
MANY of the developments that
AA have been exclusive features of
particular makes of cars now are avail
able to the general motoring public.
Included in this category are the in
serts for spring leaves to provide
squeakless operation. The vacuum
clutch booster, used on one of the
large cars to give maximum ease of
operation, is available for use on any
car. This goes for vacuum brake as

proved very effective. and its use
chalks up another victory for the
G-men of science, who are slowly
but surely familiarizing themselves
with and overcoming the deadly bac-
THEOLOGICAL forces that are loose in
the world.
THESE blue ticks from the caves
of Texas, DR.. Francis informs us,
do not carry any disease other than
relapsing fever, nor harbor any other
menacing germ. They will live upon
man, cattle, horses, pigs. oppossums,
gophers or any other animal. They
don't care where they get their meals
FROM" says DR.. Francis with twinkle
in his kindly eyes, mo, sir. 'possums
or Boy Scout all look alike to these
fellers."
OF particular interest at this time
is the fact that an arsenical pro-
duct similar to the first revolutionary
discovery OF DR.. Ehrlich has figured
within the past few days in the news
Of science and is of vital importance
to all of us, for, in addition to, its
efficacy in treatment of relapsing
fever. it has just been announced
as a remedial agent in fighting the
deadly streptococcus and staphylococ-
Gus germs-two of the most fatal of
all the deadly meteorological hosts.
Next week we will visit another
G-man Of science, one who has made
remarkable contributions in the fight
against the dreaded typhus disease,
and learn how the National Institute
of Health has been responsible for
identifying two distinct types of this
disease and has uncovered the sly
and active carrier that transmits it
to man.

1t points out that the very reduction
in number of skins on the market
would raise the price Of furs to an
extent that would compensate the
trappers for the loss in number of
pelts, and that the industry, from a
financial standpoint, would not suffer
injury.
The work of the Anti-Steel Trap
League is allied with programs for
the conservation of wild life, and wom-
ems clubs in many communities have
been nuclei Of activity for bringing
about changes in laws with respect
to animal trapping. In 1928 the Ma
tional Federation of Women's Clubs
passed a resolution favoring aid of
the league and since that time State
branches have helped in the work.
"WE HAVE worked first with the
w national organizations" said
Mrs. Breck, then with State feder-
ations, local clubs and finally in this
way with the individual woman. I
personally believe that legislative cam
pdl6uo give IAlC PIOJCSe AiOAC WiOC-
spread attention, and serve to effect
more direct good than any other
method of education to the great need
for humane movement in this direc-
ton"
Mrs. Breck pointed out that, ac-
cording to authoritative statistics. 80
per cent of the rappers of animals
were boys under 18 years of age, and
stated that for this reason it was
difficult to exercise control of meth
ods used. South Carolina has an
anti-steel trap law. as well as other
States, and the method has been to
declare what Is known as an anti
steel trap season"
Stressing the fact that the league
diu not wish to interfere with indus
try or with the protection Of live stock
when the determination Of predators
meant their preservation, Mrs. Breck
concluded: "All we ask is that meth
DDS employed be humane. The steel
trap is not humane, and we hope to
bring the public to this realization to
the end that some method be enforced
that will restrain the animal without
initiating it or causing it undue suf-
fering or exposure"

the field something to shoot at today
in the second round Of the 72-hole
$1,000 Sacramento open.
Dudley posted a par-cracking IS for
the first 18 holes yesterday-two
strokes ahead Of his nearest pursuers
IN the pack of more than 100 profess
sionals and amateurs. He Topped seven
strokes off perfect figures in spite of
ear-nipping weather and hard-frozen
fairways.
Par for the Sacramento municipal
links is 36-36-72. Dudley was out in
IS and home in 30 with seven brides
for the round. He missed short puts
on three greens.
Clips 2 of Course Mark.
He bettered the course record by two
strokes. The old mark OF 81 was held
jointly by Walter Hagen Of Detroit
and Harold McSpaden of Winchester,

Trailing Dudley by two strokes today
were McSpaden. 1885 local tournament
winner, and John Dawson, Chicago

n YEw YORK, January 23.-Their
nj hopes for success against Long
" Island University buoyed by q
\ 1928 victory over Villanova at
Philadelphia last night, George Wash
ington's undefeated basket ball team
moved into town today ready for its
combat In Madison Square Garden
with the team which has given 1t more
trouble than any foe in the past six
years.
Defeated by L. I. U. three times in
the four-game series, the Colonials'
lone triumph against the Blackbirds
came In the first clash in 80. That
they will be up against just as difficult
q foe this year Is seen in the current
record Of L. I. u, which has won IT
out Of 18 games this season. Long
Islands one setback was at the hands
Of Stanfords mighty quintet.
Adding to the Colonials' worries was
the fact that they were secuted by
several Blackbird players last night
when they were forced to open up
against Villanova. Held to q 1910
margin during the first half. G. w.
had to show practically every trick 1t
included in its repertoire to out-count
the Wildcats in the second half.
1t was Villanovas first defeat of the
season on its home court and the
Wildcats fought like just that to
maintain their perfect record. How
ever, they had trouble getting inside
the Colonials' defense for close shots
and made most Of their o field goals
from well out in the court. G. w.
spurted at the start of the second
half to double the count on the home
team and even q wild-scoring spree
in the middle Of the period by Viii
lanova failed to overcome the Co.
lonials' advantage.
AS has been the case all season,
George Washingtons scoring was al
most equally divided. although Ben
Goldfadsn's 8 points topped five scor-
ing teammates.
