Communications Body
~ the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt nominated Le-
land Odds of New York to the Fed
eral Power Commission yesterday
after Frank r. McNinch had de-
clined reappointment to that body
and had elected to continue as
chairman of the Communications
Commission, post he has held on a
temporary basis since the fall of
1887.
Mr.. Olds is secretary of the New
York State Power Authority.
Mr.. McNinch, who has been in
poor health. wrote the Chief Execu-
tive that he did not feel like re-
turning to the responsibilities" which
= reappointment to the Power Com
mission would entail
Replying to Mr.. McNinchs letter
saying he did not desire reappoint-
ment to that commission, the Presi-
dent said
II received word of your decision
with less misgiving because it means
that you can continue your service
as chairman of the Federal Com
munications Commission and devote
all of your time to the exacting
duties of that difficult post.
Il cannot, however. allow this OPP
portunity to pass without expressing
my sincere thanks for the splendid
work you did as chairman of the
Federal Power Commission. Your
Industry. your skill in the elucida-
ton of the complex problems and
your faithful stewardship of the
public interest at all times have
made your services invaluable.
Il do hope you will have a care
for your health"
When Mr.. McNinch left his Power
Commission post to go to the Com
municat1ons Commission in 1887, 1t
was announced he would remain
with the F. c. c. only until his work
there had been completed"
Mr.. Odds was nominated for
hve-year term.

Conservation
Board Urging
Mitchell Road
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In fhe Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Jan. 21.-The Department
of Conservation and Development has
taken the final step it can take in
efforts to complete preliminaries nee
essary for a free road to within a
quarter mile of the summit of Mount
Mitchell highest peak east of the
Rockies, and now reached only by
toll road.
The board has authorized introduce
ton in the current legislature of
bill making available to the depart
ment some $3.50 from the 1885 Budget
advanced to the Federal authorities in
purchasing land in the Bladen county
area. This sum is now to oe repaid
unless there is special autl orizatior
for other disposition it would go to
the general fund
With the $6,6UO, the board would
institute condemnation proceedings
for the Connally- property, only pri-
vately-owned land within the Mt Nit
chell State Park area, and for, alb
rogation of the lease on the Wilson
toll road, which now runs through
the State park to the Mt Mitchell
peak.
These two steps taken, it would be
possible to secure services of CCC
workers in repairing and maintain
ing the road. At present these work
ers are not available because they
are not permitted to do any work on
privately owned property or private
roads.
This would put the matter of the
free roads squarely before the high
WaV commission as If would cOmDlete
the road within the State park an I
leave only a gap of some five miles
between the Blue Ridge Parkway and
the State-owned Mt. Mitchell park.
j. L. Horne and J. L. McNair, men,
bers of committee to learn the high
way commissions attitude, reported
to the board that they have not been
able to get anything definite from
Chairman Frank L. Dunlap or the
commission as whole.

It was further pointed out by high

her ambitious mother; and Billy

ing the serum and that is sign that
healing has begun. If it goes up
again, a simple skin test can be made
which shows whether the patient
has had enough serum. If not, more
is given until result is obtained.
Sulfanilimide Valuable
All the types of pneumonia re-
spond, except only Type III. This
is the most dangerous and fatal
type, and serum has no effect on it.
However, new form Of the drug
sulfanilimide, which has been SO
successful in combating general
bodily infections, is now being used
with success in Type III pneumonia.
In fact, this sulfanilimide-pyridine
has been found valuable in all
forms of pneumonia. So much so
that temporarily the serums have
been discarded in its favor.
Another research that is still in
the. speculative stage concerns still
another pneumonia remedy. 1t is
well known that after the crisis in
pneumonia, the consolidation in the
lung breaks up very rapidly. In q
few days nobody could tell by look
ing at that lung that it had just been
the seat of a pneumonia. The SUBJ
stance which produces this forms in
the blood and is called lysin. Some
body at the Rockefeller Institute
found that lysin, of identical chemi-
cal construction, could be extracted
from cabbage. Injected into the
body of pneumonia patient, it
shortens the course of the infection.
