SuIfoniIomide HoIts
Blindness in Babies
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor.

ASSOCIATED fTeSS science EQltOr.
MILWAUKEE,, June GA mile
stone in preventing blindness, by CIV
ing sulfanilamide to newborn ba-
bies, was reported to the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science today.
This new drug, given in milk, acts
like magic in clearing eyes of all
signs of gonococcal Inflammation,
the "ophthalmia neonatorium" which
has been the largest cause of blind
ness
Within two or three days after the
sulfanilamide treatement, the babies
eyes are to all appearances well, and
on the face of the records in the
short time since this new remedy be-
came available the cures are COM
plete. This news came from the
medical delegates in a general dis
cussion at symposium on gonor-
rhea, attended by about so doctors.
This new treatment has been tried,
it was stated, in all parts of the
country, with good reports every
where. The sulfanilamide, product
of the synthetic dye industry, prom
ises to write the final chapter in a
medical battle to save babies eyes
which began with the start of this
century.
Thirty per cent of the blind chill
dren then in schools had lost their
sight due to gonorrheal infections at
birth. Public opinion forced the
writing into laws of States a rule
that all newborn be protected by
drops in the eyes. These drops,
usually silver nitrate, because their
use required weeks, often left vision
impaired in the cases they did
heal. The sulfanilamide seems to
avoid all the dangers of the old de-
lays in healing.
Warning that there is risk of
spreading gonorrhea carriers among
the adults treated with sulfanila-
mide was given by Assistant Surg.
Gen. r. A. Vonderlehr of Washing
ton. Workers in this field have
shown, he said, that the newer prep
| arations are apt to retard rather
than hasten the disappearance of
the gonococcus from the infected
individual, producing a symphonies
carrier, who is only an apparent
cure"
DR. Vonderlehr criticized public
opinion for permitting "the charla-
tan and the drug clerk" to treat in
fected individuals.

LOS ANGELES, June 22.-Song.
bird Ruth Etting's denial of love
theft-77 pages of typed deposition
was read into the records today OF
Alma Alderman's $150,O00 aliena-
tions suit.
Marked by frequent answers OF
mo" and an observation that "love
is a funny thing" she defended her
self against accusations that she
stole the affections of Pianist Myrl
Alderman. Neither she nor Alder
man was in court as Lawyer John T.
Houser took the stand to read the
replies she gave Lawyer S. S. Hahn
at hearing last October.
The singer and Mr.. Alderman were
married last December during trial
OF Miss Etting's former husband.
Martin (The Gimp Snyder, on
charges of shooting the pianist.
Snyder, convicted, is appealing a
20-year prison term.
Snyder testified Tuesday he had
heard that Miss Etting went with
Alderman to June Lake, visited his
apartment and entertained him on
her maids night out. To questions
OF the truth of such statements. her
answer was an invariable no"
Other Excerpts.
Did you ever fall in love with
Alderman" Attorney Hahn asked.
Not desperately in love- Miss
Etting replied.
well, did you ever fall in love
at alp"
mot desperately. Love is funny
thing, Mr.. Hahn"
Other excerpts from her testi-
mony:
you never stayed with Mr.. Alder
man overnight?"
mo. Just until midnight
How did you happen to be at
Aledrman's home the night of the
shooting?"
Il was cooking pork chops for
him"
After the shooting you engaged
the room next to his at the hospital,
didn't you? And you were with him
practically all the time, weren't
you?"
We'll, naturally, I felt a great
responsibility for what had hap
pened. I thought Myrl was an inno-
cent party in the shooting I want
ed to encourage him all l could"
"You stroked his head, didn't
you?"
"Yes."
when did your happy hours with
Alderman begin?"
After my divorce from SNYDER
Suppose you tell us about those
happy hours. What did you do to
make them so happy?"
I'VE had our music. You can get
lot of enjoyment out of things YOU
understand together. But don't
suppose you understand music"
We'll, stroking his head didn't
have anything to do with music,
did it?"
Il wanted to encourage him after
he had been shot"
Singer Denies Gifts.
Hahn asked Miss Etting If she had
ever given Alderman money. She
answered that she had not, except
for s25 weekly she paid him as her
accompanist in 1885
Did you give him a black satin
bathrobe, lined in red?" asked the
lawyer.
Miss Etting said mo" but ad-
mitted she had seen him wearing
it. Then she asked a question
do you think that a bathrobe is
any inducements"
Il must admit" Mr.. Hahn replied,
that you have charms superior to
any inducement that might be
offered by bathrobe."
Well" Miss Etting remarked. "it
must have been my charm he liked,
because did not give him anything

PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GUsTAFsoN, County supt.

About 1900 Pine county rural
pupils, elementary, will be taken care
OF by lob rural teachers. More than
300 of these pupils are plodding down
the roads to school for the first time.
All but Is of our rural teachers are
located in the 80 active "little red"
one-room schools, now painted white
We have 10 fewer rural teachers than
four years ago.
All but few of our rural schools
now offer nine months session and
begin on Tuesday, Sept. S. Most of
our teachers were contacted and given
supply boxes Saturday and Monday.
Three or four teachers in our nom
accredited rural schools allowed some
of the best seventh graders to take
the state exams and the papers were
by mistake sent to the state. A few
of these cases passed all of the state
exams and were graduated" before
the facts were known. For pupils
who are so young, this is not a pro-
per thing to do. This office and the
state department do. not approve of
this. It is far better to have more
thorough preparation. Most of the
cases mentioned are planning to take
the regular eighth grade work this
coming year. They all should.
High school transportation aid has
not been successfully developed and
stabilized as was planned year ago.
We feared and prophesied that this
would be one of the many disap-
pointments to face. This, with the
eventful passing or dropping of the
student aid plan, will place most of
our rural graduates again in bad
situation. We will then revert COM
pletely back to our dual system of
educational opportunities in which
the rural high school pupils are dis
eliminated against, because they have
less chance to attend high school. A
drop in high school enrolment from
the rural areas also will result in a
drop in state aids to the high schools
affected. So please watch the effects
on Pine county rural pupils and on
Pine county high school enrollments
and state aids.
Our local list of regular rural
teachers is exhausted. With three
rural, accredited, vacancies to fill last
week, and with a traditional barrier
by most board members against our
capable, experienced and qualified
married women, we were forced to
contact about IL qualified teachers
who reside outside of our county.
Since these three schools could offer
only SOS per month and most rural
schools in other counties are paying
$40 to S100, we had a difficult time
in securing three teachers to fill these
three vacancies.
AS we write this column all of our
rural positions are now filed with
qualified, elementarily trained teach
ers. Let every one cooperate for an
other successful school year.
