20 WIL STANDARDIZE ANTITOAR SERUNS League’s Health Committee Undertakes Unification Among Nations. By the Asgociated Press. NEW YORK, January 6.—Unifica- tion of international standards of antitoxic serums has been begun on a large scale by the League of Na- tion Health Committee, according to detailed plans received here today. The United States, the League of Nations Bureau announced, has agreed to co-operate in this work through the United States public health service at Washington, and through the presence at the confer- ences of Dr. Rupert Blue, assistant surgeon general, stationed at Paris. German scientists will also take part, as well as Japanese and representa- tives of all the larger KEuropean medical services. Confusion in Standards. -:'g io now,” the bureau said, “there hex been as much confusion in the ¢arteus national standards of meas- uring the strength of _antitoxi yums for diseases such as dysentery telanus, diphtheria, syphillis, men- iMgococcus and pneumoccus as there las been in the different currency #ystems in the world. “This had had two serious effects. First, the American scientist is handi- capped in studying methods of treag- meént of various vital diseases abroad, because of the different standards of measuring the strength of the anti- toxic serums employed; secondly, as international trade in serums is creasing, it represents not only an in. convenience, but a positive danger to have their strengths listed at varying andards. n order to obviate these difficul- ties, the health committee of the league of nations began a series of studies last October, which resulted in an international conference at Lon- den in December, when some of the foremost scientists of the world came together to prepare plans for the first joint experimental inquiry of the sort ever attempted. Divided Among Laboratories. “A program was adopted whereby the study of the effects of the various standards was divided according to diseases among the various labora- tories reprpesented. To the Hyglenic ' laboratory at Washington, for in- stance, it was proposed to allocate the study of tetanus and diphtheria. As soon as these studies have been com- pleted they will be co-ordinated through the State Serum Institute at Copenhagen. “Other bodies which will co-operate in the work are the Medical Research Council of Great Britain, Pasteur In- stitute of France, State Institute of Italy, State Institute of Warsaw, Hy- gienic Institute of Basle, Pasteur In- stitute of Brussels, Kioasato Institute of Japan, as well as Austrian and German organizations.” MAY USE MAIL TUBES. Mr. Hays Favors Pneumatic Berv- ice Abandoned in 1918. The joint congressional postal com- mission will consider at a meeting to be held Monday the proposition td use the pneumatic mail delivery tubes in New York, Chicago and other large cities of the country. The tubes have rot been operated since 1918. Postmaster General Hays is heartily in favor of the proposition, he told a conference of newspaper men at the Post Cffice Department. All that re- mains to be done, he said, is to agree upon a price for the service. There are twenty-eight miles of the tubes in New York city and the oper- ating cost will be in the neighborhood of $16,100 per mile a vear. Other matters to be considered by the commission will be the question of giving sick leave to all employes in mail equipment shops, and determina- tion of the cost of handling each class of mail matter.
