T, HE EVENING : BSTAR, WASHINGTON, WOMEN FIND SERUM THAT SAVES CHILD Influenza-Meningitis of High Mor-|. tality Rate Thwarted by Fem- inine Scientists. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 80.—Ten-year- old Morris Geduldt has been cured of influenza-meningitis, a disease with a mortality rate higher than 96 per cent, by a new serum developed by two women scientists attached to the re- search laboratories of the New York health department, it was announced &t the United Israel Zlon Hospital at Brooklyn. | Morris, it was stated, was the sec- ond person saved from death by the serum during the past few years. The two cures are the only ones ever ef- fected in this city, about fifty other sufferers having died of the rare ail- ment. The serum was developed at the health department laboratory at Wil- C, Lives for a Week Like Millionaire NEW YORK, March 30.—His only resources & sult case containing two telephone directories and a bundle of old newspapers, and a thorough. knowledge of the ways of hotels, Willlam Liefer, former bell boy, lived the life of a mil- lionalre for a week at the Vander- bilt Hotel, without even spending a nickel for tips, it has been dis- closed. Liefer was arrested at the end of his gorgeous week, just as he was about to move on, and admitted in court that he was a mighty poor rich man. He pleaded guiltv of defrauding the hotel and was sen- tenced to from six months to taroe years in the penitentiary. i'ro- bation officers reported he had worked similar swindles at other big hotels. Besides his bill for rooms, Licfer ran up accounts for theater tick- ets, taxicabs, cigars and food—and even had his dining room tips added to his checks and collected FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1923.

It is taken from an Immunized horse into _which there has been injected Ptelffer bacilli. Given Six Injections. Dr. Neal said today that Morris had been glven three injections of ordi- nary anti-meningitis serum and three of the new serum. “It is impossible to say that the new serum is a specific for the dis- ease,” she declared, but I believe it is safe to say that it contributed largely to these two cures we have on record. Dr. Povitsky was the first scientist to observe the difference between or- dinary meningitis and influensa-men- ingitis, and {t was she who virtually developed the serum. Later Dr. Riv- ers, then of Johns Hopkins Univer- sity Hospital and now of the Rocke- feller Foundation, got the same re- sults. “In the case of Geduldt, the boy showed a sterile reaction after the first three injections, but it is safe to say that the later injections prevented the usual relapse and kept the bacilli in check. “Influenza-meningitis is a terrible disease.

Harding’s Chances For Another Term One blast from the bugle of Harry Daugherty sets the wild echoes flying in every corner of the land. The Attorney General's confident declaration that President Harding will be renominated without opposition and will be “again overwhelmingly elected” is a sig- nal that the political shooting for the next presidential campaign is now in order. Why the Harding hat should be “shied” into the ring so early puzzles some observers, who wonder if certain rivals are getting this notice to keep out. Some sort of contest seems indicated, we are assured, and with the President making twenty speeches in defense of his policies, and constructing planks for a re-election platform; with Senator W. E. Borah outlining his own policies, both foreign and domestic, in a series of well advertised speeches, and with Hiram Johnson coming back from Europe ‘“‘preparing to fight in a spectacular way,” as a paper in his state puts it, it is clear enough to the Baltimore Sun “that we shall not have a dull political summer. An exciting, if not enjoyable, time will probably ‘be had by all.”” Read THE LITERARY DIGEST this week for all of the interesting comments regarding President Harding’s chances of re-election.
