SERUNS IN DRIED FORM PERFECTED Chemist Freezes Materials Before Evaporating Off Unwanted Fluids. Special Dispatch to The Star. PHILADELPHIA, May 23 (N.AN. A.) —Human blood serums for treat- ing diseases soon may be available in every village, thanks to a machine | which preserves them almost indefi- nitely in dry powder form. No longer must dog teams or air-, planes race madly to distant labora- tories for precious, perishable liquid serums to save lives. These things were spectacular, but not good medi- ecal practice. Too often the serum arrived too late. The machine was invented by Dr. Earl W. Flosdorf, young physical chemist in the University of Pennsyl- vania bacteriology department, with the collaboration of the department bead, Dr. Stuart Mudd. Dry Ice Freezes Serum. Because chemical changes in se- rums are retarded by removal of water, but ordinary drying methods also produce chemical changes, their method is to evaporate the serum while ‘frozen. Quick freezing with “dry ice” locks the molecules, the material is held at 110 degrees below vero, Fahrenheit, for a half hour and a high vacuum pump renders it 99.95 per cent dry. To use the sterile powder, which is kept in the same vacuum-sealed con- tainer in which it was transformed from liquid to solid, the physician pushes a syringe needle through the rubber stopper, lets distilled water flow into the bottle and dissolves the powder. Withdrawing the plunger of the syringe fills it with serum, ready for use. Human serums are used in treat- ment of scarlet fever and certain streptococcic infections and as pre- ventives against scarlet fever, measles, chickenpox and mumps. A recent problem to be attacked with human serum is influenza. The material to be brought from the Alaskan Eskimo influenza epidemic by Dr. Flosdorf's colleagues, Drs. Horace Pettit and Dickinson Sergeant Pepper, will be wried to record what caused the out- break and to furnish a possible ‘weapon against epidemics. Animal Serums Plentiful. Animal serums, used in pneumonia, spinal meningitis, diphtheria, scarlet fever and lockjaw, have not presented an acute problem in preservation since fresh batches can be obtained. serum method has been made through the Philadelphia Serum Exchange, in the Children's Hospital, Here serums are collected, stored and distributed. The University of Pennsylvania pedia- trics and bacteriology departments, University and Al Memorial Hospitals, Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious Diseases and Philadelphia Department of Public Health also are co-operating.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, BONNIE HILL HELD GUILTY IN SLAYING Manslaughter Verdict Returned Against Night Club Girl Who Killed Lover. By the Assoclated Press. NEW ORLEANS, May 23—Bonnie Hill, 23-year-old night club habitue, ‘was convicted yesterday of plunging a knife into the heart of her “play boy” lover, John Irving Pierce, also 23, in a crowded Frerch Quarter night club. Her trial, started yesterday morn- ing and, moving swiftly, ended when the jury brought in a verdict of man- slaughter at 1:48 (Central standard time) this morning. The jury delib- erated 1 hour and 18 minutes. Sentence was deferred. She may receive sentence ranging from 1 to 20_years. Bonnie, whose slim body shook with sobs as she told of sharing an apart- ment with Plerce and of the quarrel which preceded his death, stood silently and without emotion as the verdict was returned. She was taken back to her jail cell. Her mother, Mrs. Luise Hill, 64, of Ozark, Ark., and her brother, Ray- mond Hill, theological student at Wheaton College, wept at her side as the jury was polled. Bonnie testified she and Pierce, & writer and a member of a soclally prominent Jackson, Miss., family, were drunk when they reached the Nut Club in the French quarter early in the morning of March 22, after a night of dancing and drinking at other night spots.

BRUSSELS, May 23.—Fifteen strik- ing miners, barricaded in their work- ings, threatened a hunger strike today after police drove hundreds of their comrades to the surface by hurling tear gas bombs into the shafts. A tense atmosphere prevailed throughout the coal production area as 100,000 additional men threatened to join the 12,000 already on strike. The walkout produced political re- percussions in the cabinet of Premier Paul van Zeeland. It was called to en- D. C, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1935. force demands for higher wages.

The show of force was sufficient to send hundreds scuttling to safety. In one mine 250 resisted. fumes brought scores from the shafts, but the 15 in a chateley pit succeeded in withstanding the attack and an- nounced their intention of sticking it out until they starved or were granted their demands. — Taxi and Elephant Crash. Driving along New Kent road near London before sunrise recently, Al- fred Thompson saw a vast shape loom up suddenly. He swerved and braked hard, but his taxicab crashed into an elephant. Thompson was badly shaken and one of the beast’s hind legs injured. The elephant was being taken to a dealer's quarters.
