sulfa compound. Only one surviv-
ed.
However, this overwhelming
success with his sulfa development
has not made him over anxious
to use it on human beings. Elk
periments with the monkey are
next onthe agenda. Proctor points
out that monkeys respond to po-
lilo in a manner similar to men.
If the drug works on monkeys
Proctor and Byrd say they will
not leave the laboratory in a big
hurry.
Phenolsulfadiazine also has a
date with a dog. Proctor says the
dog will offer a good test of the
effects ofthe drug on blood pres

cessful, as in mice experiments,
tn medical profession may ask
Proctor to try the drug in the
hospital clinic whether he is
ready or not.
Proctor is a slender tan youth
with a lust for hard work. The re-
search laboratory is his second
home, vocation and avocation. The

CHICAGO (ANP)- A young

folded results Of his experiments
with mice that may lead to the
cure of infantile paralysis in hui

Charles D. Proctor, 27-year-old

told of his experiments with a
new sulfa compound during an
address before the Sigma XII hon.

University Of Illinois professional
college.
Like most true scientists, Proc
tor declined to make generous
predictions as to the success of
his drug on human beings, but re-

Three Judge Panel Dismisses Test
Suit Fer SOL Ousted Teachers

CHARLESTON, S. C. (ANP)
The test suit Of Mrs. Pearl Green
Shirer, one of the SOL Negro
school teachers accused of using
a fraudulent key in the Feb. 1919
teachers state examination, was
dismissed by a three Judge panel
in federal court here last week.
In the. opinion Of the jurists,

Judge ]. w. Waring and Judge
George B. Zimmerman, the SOL
test papers followed the key so
closely that correspondence could
not reasonably be explained omar
honest basis.
The case had been argued last
Jan. % in. federal court here, with
final arguments being submitted
by briefs. Pointing out that con-
LESSONS have been received from
131 teachers implicated, the jur-
lists said:
Gas to the others, it is absurbed
to say the boards action was not
supported by the evidence or was

it the board was at liberty to con-
slider circumstantial as we'll as
direct evidence and the circum-
stances relied on were of strong
and probative nature.
"The proof shows that the
papers were examined by a re-
putable testing agency and that
the fraudulent nature ofthe papers
was ascertained in an absolutely
impartial manner with which race
and color could have no possible
connection"
In addition, the opinion say the
plaintiff answered the same ex-
animation questions substantially
as did the fraudulent key in six
