Dry Law Is Issue In Oregon Election = Nicara ~ guans New Ointment Is Bar to Diphtheria ? Chicago,. May 15.—/)—In the of Dr. Arnold H. Kegel, city health commissioner, and Benjamin M. Gasul, of the University of Illinois, the - use of - serum injections as a diphtheria immunizer may soon be supplanted -by an ointment. After making tests on 47 school children, Drs. Kegel and Gasul re- ported to the Chicago medical so- ciety last night that they had ob- tained a 60 per cent efficiency with the ointment developed by Prof. E. Lowenstein of Vienna. Dr. Kegel emphasized, however, the ointment should not be used in prac- tice until‘a 90 per cent efficiency has been reached. Prof. Lowenstein’s ointment was described as a “com- pound of diphtheria toxin modified by | the- addition of. formaldehyde and dead diphtheria bacilli.” ‘The health commissioner explained the.present method caused the body to produce an anti-toxin, whereas the new ointment is in itself an anti- toxin. At Dr. Kegel’s request, Dr. Gasul went to Austria to study the NORTH DAKOTA MAY RAINS RANGE FROM ‘ONE 0 SK INCHES Larimore Gets Greatest Drench- ing, While Beach Reports Smallest Amount From one to nearly six inches rain fell in various sections of North Da- kota during the first 15 days of May, according to a weather report issued today by the federal weather bureau here.

LBGION LAUNCHES DRIVE FOR FUNDS TO BUILD BALCONY Plans to Raise $1,000 to Pro- vide More Seats in Me- morial Building AUXILIARY WILL GIVE HELP Women's Organization to Match Veterans’ Offering From Own Funds Plans to raise $1,000 as its contri- bution toward -a fund to provide a balcony for the county-city memorial building were approved by members of the local American Legion post last night. Figures presented by R. J. Kamplin, Legion representative on the steering committee appointed to manage con- | struction of the building, showed th: it will be impossible to erect a bi cony in the structure unless addi- tional funds are raised. As outlined last night, the prospec- tive expenditures for the building are: | General contract $131,408; plumbing, | ventilating, piping, sewers, kitchen | equipment and other items coming | under the head of mechanical ap- Pliances, $34,762; electrical work, $7,661. To this must be added the $24,000 invested in a site for the structure; approximately $8,691.55 for achitect’s fees and supervision and $1,000 for miscellaneous items. The total of these expenses is $207,522.55 and t maximum revenue in sight for the building is $209,000. This leaves only | $1,477.45 toward the construction of & | balcony, and the cost of the balcony will be about $10,000. | Agree on Need | “Wevare all agreed that a balcony | should be constructed when the building goes up,” Kamplin told the Legion. “It will add about 1,200 seats to the bu'lding and is » necessity if the structure is to be of the greatest usefulness as the Legion hopes it will be. For convenions, basketball tour- naments and similar entertainments it is imperative that we have the ad- ditional seating space which a bal- cony will provide.” Kamplin expressed the view that) some money can be obtained for a balcony by reducing the amount to be spent for kitchen equipment. As | { originally planned, the building would contain an excellent kitchen, one worthy of @ fine hotel. This is esti- mated to cost about $3,700. Kamplin said he feels that this amount could be reduced to $700 and the $3000 saved in this manner used in the bal- cony. , But this still would leave a large sum of money to be raised if the balcony is to be financed. In view of this fact, Kamplin said, the Legion committee had decided to attempt to raise $1,000 from the members of the Legion as a contribution: toward the project. The American Legion Auxil- fjary also has agreed to contribute $1,000.

Patterson of Donnybrook is convinced he is an honest looking in- dividual; also he wishes someone would perfect automobile tires which wouldn't go flat, particularly when it is raining. The senator was driving from Bis- marck to Minot. A tire on his car went flat a short distance south of Max and he replaced it with the “only” he had. Five miles south of Minot another tire went flat about 9 o'clock. Patterson got out on the highway and signaled the first car that ap- proached to stop, and quite to his surprise it did. He was brought into Minot, had the spare tire repaired and went out again and brought his car into town. Having had enough flat tires for one day, he spent the night in Minot.

Police Dog Tries To Take Own Life Chicago, May 15.—()—For some reason the police dog wanted to com- mit suicide. He kept jumping off the Halsted street lift bridge yesterday, and howled angrily when James Dwyer, bridge tender, rescued him. Released, he jumped into the river repeatedly. Finally Dwyer tied the animal up. Of course, the dog may not have intended to kill himself, but Dwyer believes suicide is as good an ex-| planation as any. He suggested, too, that possibly the dog’s master had died in the river, and that the animal wanted to join him in death.
