MUCH HAVOC DONE IDRY: SUPPORT LOST! BY ENGLISH STORM Northern Section and Scot- land Swept After Heat Spell Fatal to Twoscore. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 30.—Ome of the worst_electric and rain storms in the history of Brtish weather records swept Northern England and Scotland dur- ing the night cn the heels of a heat wave which has taken more than two- | score lives. Southern England escaped most of | the fury of the tempest. Londoners, who sweltered all week, had some rain and a cooling breeze which once reached a volocity of 29 miles per hour, but the city emerged unscathed, ex- cept for the flooding of low quarters in the east section where the rain) ‘was hardest. Premier Turned Back. Ramsay MacDonald, prime minister, returning by airplane to his home at Lossiemouth, Scotland, from London, ran into the storm and was forced to turn back to Catterick Airdrome, York-| shire. He boarded a train there for Seotland. The north suffered widespread dam- m ‘The east coast of Scotland was ually isolated from the rest of the British Isles. Telephone and lele- graph communications were demoralized everywhere. ‘The. storm started in the north early in the day and by noon the Edin- burgh district was so dark that street lamps and shop lights were turned on. There was a respite in the afternoon but later the storm set in more de- terminedly than ever. A Glasgow post office official said the storm was the worst ever experienced by the depart- ment. Repairs Are Hurried. “The wires are down in practically every district of the east coast and Northern Scotland,” he said. “We are attempting to carry out repairs as quickly as possible, but we are con- fronted by a tremendous task.” Hull, Yorkshire, had its streets flooded. Sewers were unable to carry off the water and low-lyihg sections of the city were inundated. There was little promise of relief from the heat in Southern England. Even if the temperature should dmp moisture in the air has increased and & sultry veek end was forecast.

Looking like a college student still, Dr. Spencer was a specimen of savant as new and different as his “tick juice.” Nonchalantly and with drollery he explained his discovery. “I suppose the reason I got the medal is that it's the only vaccine in the world made of insects—ground-up ticks,” he sald. “Knowing that ticks carried it, I figured taat with ticks I could innoculate against it. I tried it on guinea pigs, and it didn’t kill them, so I tried it on mysels, and it worked. “In 1924, 1 was th: first and only one to take it. In 1925, 34 brave souls volunteered In 1926, without any urg- ing, the number was 600.

Quiescent in Winter. ‘When Winter winds sweep the sheep- herding sections of Montana, Wyoming and Idaho, Spencer explained, the ticks on sheep and wild animals become quie- scent. The virus within the tick also hibernates, he said. Only through a duplication of this hibernation could an efficacious vaccine be developed, he discovered. “‘After allowing the ticks to feed on infected animals we put them into a frigerator to hibernste,” he explained. “When taken out they have no effect. But let a tick take one drop of blood from a host and enough poison develops in that one tick to kill a thousand guinea pigs.” No commercial concern would at- tempt the manufacture of so expensive and difficult a product as vaccine from post-hibernated ticks, Dr. Spencer said, and the Public Health Service therefore has a monopoly. But no charge is made for vaccina- tion materials, since those who sdffer are, for the most pat, people of small financial means and the Federal Gov- MEDAL GIVEN VIRGINIA DOCTOR WHOSE “TICK JUICE" SAVED MANY DR.

DETROIT, August 30.—The opposi- tion which Mayor Charles Bowles will the | face in the special mayoralty election September 9 was reduced yesterday by the last-minute withdrawal of Harold H. Emmons, former police commissioner, and Charles P. Clippert, member of the city Fire Commission. In the hope that the field would M reduced by withdrawals, Richard Reading, city clerk, had extended w 4 p.m. yesterday the time within which candidates could take their names from the ballot. The two withdrawals leave in the race against Mayor Bowles his ecessor in office, John W.

Friends of former Mayor Smith an- nounced that he had remained in the race because Murphy had declined to withdraw. Murphy still had five years of his term as Recorder's Court judge at $12,500 a year. The mayor's office pays & uhry of $15,000 a year. Mayor Bowles' recall was voted at a special election on July 22. The move- ment for his recall followed newspaper charges that gambling was " in Detroit. His dismissal of Emmons as police commissioner after the latter had directed a series of ralds on nmbllnu establishments during the mayor's absence at the Kentucky Derby directly preceded the formal filing of petitions for the recall election.

MCORMICK League, Her Stand, Is Ready to Aid Independent. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 30.—The Anti- Saloon League of Illinois, finding the prohibition stand of Ruth Hanna Mc- Cormick, Republican senatorial nominee, “entirely unsatisfactory,” announced last night it was ready to support a dry independent candidate. George B. Safford, league superin- tendent, issued a statement in which | he said the entire influence of his or- ganization would be exerted for “any worthy eandidate” brought out by the dry forces. The State Anti-Saloon League worked actively for Mrs. McCormick. when she was campaigning for Congress and it | supported her passively in her primary campaign against Senator Charles 8. Deneen. ‘The injection of an independent can- didate into the race between Mrs. Mc- Cormick and James - Hamilton Lewis, Democrat, was forecast by Safford, al- though he mentioned no names. Mrs. O'Neill Mentioned. Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neill of Downes Grove, Ill, first woman legislator, has been prominently mentioned by the Chicago press as the choice of the dry leaders. Mrs. O'Neill, a Republican, cam- paigned for Senator Deneen in his losing primary battle with Mrs, McCor- mick. She admitted yesterday that dry leaders from all over the State had asked her to enter the senatorial cam- paign. At the State party convention, Mrs. O'Neill espoused a resolution favoring restatement, of the platform adopted at the Kansas City Republican national convention. Instead, the convention pledged the State G. O. P. to abide by the decision of the voters in the November referen- dum on prohibition repeal. Although she reiterated that she was still personally a dry, Mrs. McCormick also promised to vote for repeal of the eighteenth amendment if the majority of the voters favored such action. Always Opposed Lewis. ‘The Anti-saloon League has always been opposed to former Senator Lewis, whose keynote speech at the Democratic State convention urged repeal of all prohibition legislation. Referring to Mrs. McCormick’s speech before me Republican eonventlon, the Anti-saloon League head said. “The drys consider that this an- nouncement was made for the purpose of winning wet votes and that Mrs. McCormick is ready to abandon her convictions under the pressure of political expediency. This is entirely unsatisfactory to us. “The officers of the Anti-saloon League feel that their only hope in se- curing adequate representation in sup- Kgrt a( the prohibition amendment will by supporting an independent can- didate for the United States Senate, and the entire influence of the Anti- saloon League will be exerted in sup- mt of any worthy candidate who is ught out by united action of the dry leaders ox the unu Y INSTALLMENT BUYING OF AUTOS TABULATED 61 Per Cent of 1920 Passenger Cars 8old Involved Time Payments, Four Per Cent Repossessed.
