Pneumonia ~ Cure Next Discoverer of Infantile Para- lysis Preventative Tells Plans - Philadelphia, --Pneumonia s next on the "public enemy" list of Dr. John A, Kolmer, the modest Phila. delphia medical professor who claims discoyery of the first preventative for infantile paralysis, LOOKS TO FUTURE, - Even in the excitement of announc- ing development of his anti-paralysis vaccine, the professor's future re- search plans and. hopes were in the background of his thoughts, Mow that a way has been found to prevent the dread paralysis, he de. clared, there will be more time for his work on a vaccine to forstall pneu- monia,. - He has already disclosed, which has been used effec. tively in immunizing rabbits from the lung inflammation, and the same vaccine has met with "a large degree of success" in experiments in humans, While carrying on the pneumonia work, he said, he will attempt to sup- plement his infantile paralysis vaccine with a serum to "cure" that disease after infectioy, sets in. He 'was expétimenting along this line, the researcher explained, at the time of development of his preventa. tive vaccine from the spinal! cords of monkeys, The 48-year-old professor, who divides his time between Temple Uni. versity and the Independent Research Institute where the vaccine was de- veloped, risked his life to test his dis. covery before publicly claiming suc. cess, 3 3 Educator Supporter : Of "More Arithmetic" Ottawa.--That more arithmetic and less Latin should be taught in sec. ondary schools, was thé opinion ex- pressed by F,.

Simpson, Ontario Minister of dducation to have more arithmetic taught, nh 2 : "I should certainly like to see arith- metic stressed more," Mr, Stuart re. marked, "At present, arithmetic is taught only in the second year of our collegiate, that is advanced arithmetic after the pupils have had an oppor- tunity to become acquainted with al- ter to one below her rank, much, her developed a fluid. ha gebra. I'm sure practically all the teachers of the province are in favor of extension of the recommendation system regarding examinations, The system, with a gradual beginning, is working out well, I believe, too, that our graduation diplomas should be more generally accepted as equal to a matriculation certificate, except, of gous for those going on to univer. sity," . Scientists On Track Of Rust-Proof Wheat ------ Toronto,--F.

' 3 "We have been working on It- for a number of years," he said, "but we expect tobe able to give it to the Western farmers soon," He declared that the department results' "are very encouraging" and it remained only to be proven "over a long period of time. Beyond that [ can say nothing more at the pres. ent time," Such a type of wheat would mean millions of dollars to the Western far- mer whose crops have suffered from rust, Mr. Nunnick said that the depart- ment was working also on a type of wheat which would combat saw-fly attacks, With a solid stemmed wheat, he added, the saw-fly would be un- able to bore into it, ~ Young People Often Neglect Their Teeth Young strong people frequently ne- glect their 'They give them a perfunctory scrub at night, but they fail to notice the onset of pyorrhoea or septic gums, I was called to a young man who was suffering from an acute inflam. mation of the ear, It was discharging freely showing that the ear drum had perforated spontaneously, He com- plained of having contracted a chill two weeks previously, whioh he had neglected, kh On looking at his mouth 1 found the lower gums very septic with every front tooth loose in its socket, When the ear discharge dries up this young man must have all these dead teeth out and treatment applied to the gums to make them healthy, Hero Here China's "China's only: hope is to resist resist," General Tsai Ting Kai, commander of the famous 19th Route Army that held the {apanese treop out of his native and, teeth, writes a doctor. ! Drouth Booms Stimulates Young America's Interest in Agricultural Playthings ! drouth which has kept-the farmer in the headlines this summer, has pro. vided at least one benefit, it has stim ulated young America's interest in toys 'that reproduce agricultural and ranching activities in realistic minia- ture, 7 This juvenile enthusiasm for farm life in the playroom was answered by a farm and cowboy play display at the Toy Association, illustrating the educator's precept that children should learn by doing. Construction sets that formerly fea- tured historical log cabins, or sky. scrapers and bridges, exclusively, now offer complete barnyards for five year olds to build with authentic housing for cows, hogs, sheep and horses, and fences in the latest rural styles, Barn. yards in iron or cardboard, to be tint. ed to juvenile taste, are popular, Mini- ature tractors and dump trucks have been perfected to give a realistic touch to farm life on the playroom floor, Complete gas stations give the landscape a further touch of realism, Even electric train sets are now equip- yard scenes to line the tracks, While the newspaper headlines have been filled with news of the gov- ernment rescuing starving cattle, young America has developed an in- creasing enthusiasm for the life of a cowboy.

Cows and sheep are popular in the push.and-pull category, -- em = Fish Stories (Vancouver Province) We had a story in the paper the other day about a fight between a devil-fish and a shark, in a fish trap, off Point Roberts, less than 80 miles from this city. It was a brief story, leaving plenty to the reader's im- agination, but not forgetting little touch@s such as making the shark a tiger: shark, and calling the com- batants "terrors of the deep." It said that the devil-fish smothered the ' shark to death by getting one of its tentacles round the shark's gills. It said that the devil-fish was so badly done in himself by the fight that the fish trap tenders were easily able to finish him, "This story was just enough to sharpen our appetites, and' then = we had a tale of the deep that was a tale of the deep, We hope that all our readers saw the personal narra- tive we had of Charles Huckins, the Seattle diver who has been engaged for many months on the job of sal- vaging the Islander. She is lying now, high and dry on a beach of the Alaska coast, after 33 years in 350 feet of water in Stevens Passage, near Douglas Island. : The \stofy of the salvaging of the Islander is rich-ih the romantic lore of- the sea. The two salvage tenders dropped great cables under, and then lifted her on the lift of successive tides, dragging her inshore into . shallower water, a little at a time. When they got her with her bow in 145 feet of water and her stern in 95, Mr. Huckins went down, and per- formed the very notable deepsea div- ing feat of working the lifting cables under her into a better position for | the job. The water was icy cold by reason of the glaciers not far away, and dense with the glacial silt "in |black clouds, like some awful fog." And Mr. Huckins saw the bones of the drowned Islander's people, where they had been. lying in their coffin ship all those years. But it was another adventure ot Mr. Huckins' in the salvaging of the [slander that is now in 'the relation more relevant to these presents.
