STAR MEASURING DEVICE APPLIED TO MICROSCOPE| Interferometer Used to Determine Size of Particles Too Small to Be Seen With Ordinary Instrument. Special Dispateh to e Star. CHICAGO, 1L, June 10, The Inter- | terometer, invented by Dr. A. A | Michelson. of the University of cago. and used at the Mount Wilson | | Observatory to measure the diameters :nf distant stars, has recently been ap- | plied in Germany to the microscope for measuring particles too small to | be seen with the ordinary microscope. The method depends on the fact that | when the light from a very minute | source. either hecause of its actual | small size. or. as in the case of the | stars, hecause of its great distance, is split into two heams. and recom: | bined. a series of light and dark “in- terference” hands results. By the | measurement of these bands the diam- eter of the source of light may be computed. | “Prof. Michelson suggested that the method could also he applied to the | microscope, but, so far as is known, the work of fthe German scientist | U. Gerhardt is the first time that the suggestion has heen carried out. It is stated that hv means of the micro- | &cope interferometer objects half as | small a size as can he seen ordinarily |can be measured.

IMEASLES SERUM GIVES IMMUNTY High Percentage of Absolute Prevention Is Attained by New Check to Malady. l | (spflnnl Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, June 10.-Another weapon that may help to ward off the measles epidemics that sweep over the country In irresistible waves nearly every year s described by Dr. Row- land G. Freeman in a report to the American Public Health Association and the American Child Health Asso- ciation. L Since the Incidence of measles is greater than that of any other. infec- tlous disease and 96. to 98 per cent of those who have not had the disease contract it after exposure, any agent that promises to hold it in check | comes immediately into the limelight Serum Is Utllized. ‘The mode of attack set forth by Dr. Freeman consists of injection with a serum made from the blood of adult measles convalescents. This serum acts as a preventive. This method was first used in Germany in 1918, where the percentage of immunity conferred was found to be as high as 85 per cent. When the New York Board of Health hegan work on the problem in 1923 it found that the first difficulty was to find a sufficlent source — “Love Me Less or - Love Me More of eonvalescent blood to make the serum. A suitable raward was offered to adults suffering from measles in the contagious wards of all the hos pitals in New York. E enough was collected to treat in all | about 3,500 children, The most reliable data rom these cases show that over 50 per cent were completely immune, around 40 per cent had only mild cases and in relatively few did measles de- elop in the usual unmitigated form. None of the children who had heen in- jected with the serum suffered any of collected the after complications of pneumonia or ear trouble that make measl really dangerous, particularly in very voung children. Use Limited at Present. In the light of the difficulty of ob- taining material and the fact that the passive fmmunity conferred by the serum lasts only from three to six weeks, {ts use is limited quite largely to infants and children whe are too delicate to stand any illness. It has a great field of potential use in check- ing measles epidemics in institutions, | but for of serum demand. We have in convalescent measles serum a therapeutic agent which h: great usefulness in a limited sphere Dr. Freeman said. It is not the solu- tion of the measules problem. but it s a real step toward cutting down th mortality from this disease.’ the present is inadequate the supply to meet Frocks Reminiscent of Armor.
