Treatment of Tapeworm

value in the treatment of tape
worm, according to an article in
the Journal of the American
Medical Association.
Dr. William A. Sodoman and
Dr. Rodney C. Jung, of the Tu
lane University medical school,
gave the drug to 11 persons suf
fering from tapeworm.
They said it was effective in
10 cases on the first trial, and in
the 11th when the treatment
was repeated.

When we consider that star
light is so faint that darkness is
needed for its visibility to the
unaided eye, it hardly seems
possible that a single bright star
could be the source of the Illumi
nation of a considerable area of
a large American city. Yet this
is exactly what occurred on one
occasion for a star now in our
eastern evening sky. Arcturus
brilliantly lighted the immense
Century of Progress exposition
on the opening evening, May 27J
1933
Forty years earlier another
great world's fair, the Colum
bian exposition, also had been
held in Chicago. At the fair of
1893, one of the interesting ex
hibits was part of the huge 40
inch telescope, soon to be set up
at Yerkes observatory.
Astronomical Slant
When the exposition of 1933
was being planned, Dr. E. B.
Frost of Yerkes noted that an
other "40" was much in evi
dence. The light from the star
Arcturus, flashing through space
at 186,300 miles per second, re
quired 40 years to reach us. This
meant that radiation which left
Arcturus during the first ex
position would arrive during this
second similar event. Why not
give an astronomical slant to the
occasion even let the 40-inch
telescope participate?
Dr. Frost's well-prepared plan
was accepted by the exposition
managers. On the opening eve
ning an impressive ceremony
was held in the open air court of
the Hall of Science, where
crowds were assembled. After
music by the Chicago Symphony
orchestra, Dr. Frost made a fit
ting address, explaining the un
usual feat Immediately to be at
tempted. He ceased speaking
Suspense reigned.
Signal Flashed
A signal is flashed to Yerkes
observatory 80 miles away. A
wide area of "old light" from
Arcturus strikes the huge tele
scopic lens and is tunneled
down the tube and at the lower
end is focused to a brlliant spot
on a photoelectric cell. There
the concentrated light is 40,000
times more luminous than the
star appears to the naked eye
This generates a feeble electri
cal current which greatly ampli

the eager throng in Chicago.
Switches automatically operate
and motors begin to hum. Now
the great doors are opening as if
by unseen hands. Suddenly

found Smith and Lloyd lying on
their backs beneath an apple
tree. The two trusties offered
no resistance.
Unfortunately, Warden Cranor
could not sympathize with the
errant prisoners.
He gave them two weeks in
solitary confinement to shake off
their spring fever.

thousands of incandescent lights

light has opened the great ex

To be more sure of success
should clouds interfere at
Yerkes, large telescopes "stood
by" at Harvard and the Univer
sities of Illinois and Pittsburgh.
At only one of the four cooper
ating stations was the sky over
cast. . Arcturus, still noted because
of this event, can be seen to
night whenever the sky is clear.
By 8 p.m. it is very high almost
due east and is the only bright
star in that section of the sky. It
is decidedly orange in color. You
will surely want to form the
acquaintance of this famous har
binger of spring.

Grand Jury Brings
In Six Indictments
The Jackson county grand
jury Friday returned five secret
indictments, and a six charging
Paul Raymond Scofield, Lake
hotel, with larceny from a store
building. ,
District Attorney Paul Havi
land said that the names of
those indicted will be revealed
as soon as the persons are ap
prehended. Scofield is in cus
tody. Haviland said that Scofield
probably will be arraigned in
circuit court on Monday. The
man is accused of taking a num
ber of pairs of hose from the
Montgomery Ward store, 117
South Central avenue, on March
6.
DA Cites Record
The district attorney stated
that Scofield was indicted for
larceny rather than for petty
theft because of his record.
He reported that Scofield has
been arrested approximately 40
times, has served numerous sen
fences for petty theft and had
served two prison terms.
A new grand Jury will be im
paneled Monday, start of a new
circuit court term, the district
attorney stated.

Jacksonville Mayor Outlines
Position on Fire Districts
Jacksonville The position of
this city in a proposed rural fire
district was outlined by Mayor
Albert Hackert this w,eek-end.
"As a volunteer fire group, the
Jacksonville department cannot
leave town," the mayor said. "At
present we have a new 750-gal-lon
tank truck with a high pres
sure pump and an old truck with
a 250-gallon tank which is not up
to state specifications. If a dis
trict was formed outside of town,
a new truck would have to be
added.
Definitely Restricted
"Our fire department is, at
present, definitely restricted," he
continued, "because our current
insurance is no good outside the
city limits. This is why we can't
answer calls which come from
rural areas."
Mayor Hackert pointed out
that if a rural district is organ
ized, and buys its service from
the city, it would make possible
the new equipment and perman
ent manpower which w o ul d
make insurance coverage possi
ble in rural areas and give "bet
ter service both without and
Huge Blast Scheduled
At Columbia Dam Site
The Dalles (U.R) Between
40 and 50 tons of dynamite will
be set off at the site of The
Dalles dam on the Columbia
river here Sunday in one of the
biggest blasts ever to be fired in
the Pacific Northwest.
Hubert Elder, resident engi
neer, said the exact time for the
explosion had not been deter
mined but announced that high
way traffic on U. S. 30 and
trains on the Union Pacific rail
road along the construction site
three miles east of The' Dalles
would be halted temporarily.
Residents were expected to
line hilltops and nearby roads
to witness the blast.

Regarding rural water sup
plies, the mayor said it would
be possible to bulldoze out sump
holes which could fill at least
one tank at a time and would
be stationed at regular intervals.
Could Use Tankers
"Another method," he added,
"would be to acquire a spare
tank truck of 1,000-gallon capac
ity similar to Central Point's. It
would be possible to use our
present 250-gallon truck by con
verting it to a larger tank size."
In commenting on the pro
posed enlargement of the Med
ford district to be discussed at
a meeting next Tuesday at the
Jackson school in Medford, May
or Hackert expressed hope that
the Medford district boundary
would not be moved "any far
ther west as it would decrease
the Jacksonville district's tax
base and make it more dificult
to secure the needed changes."
