H. J. LYNCH
| HORSES GIVING BLOOD
TO SAVK WAR VICTIMS
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 7—Quartered
oa some of the finest pasture land
in Michigan, at Roohaster, near
Detroit, aud maintained in a life of
luxury and ease, a drove of magnifi
cent horses are daily giving their
blood to save the lives of soldiers
fighting on the battlefields of Eu
rope. Those animals have no other
purpose in life—they merely give
their biood that the soldiers may
live.
! The horses are the property of
Parke, Davis and company, of De^
troit, the largest drug .manufacture
lug concern in the world. They
are used to produce auti-teostanlc
serum, which is administered to
prevent and cure the dread disease
tetanus. The entire output of the
anti-tesetanic serum manufactured
by the Parke Davis company from
the blood of their horses, is now
shipped to Europe far injection into
soldiers suffering or threatened with
tetanus.
During the month of October, .the
Parke Davis company shipped to the
battlefields of Europe more than'
Jen times as mucb of the serum as
is normally exported.
The method of manufacturing the'
sjrum is complicated aud the Pr°-|
C'?ss takes more than nine months J
from start to finish. Briefly,'the
method is this;
Tetanus germs, which are u;ereiy j
vegetable plants, are propagated on
a large scale in the Parke' Davis la
boratories. These germs are
then placed in a large receptacle
about 40 feet square, which is fill
ed with beef soup, or bouillon,
manufactured from beef aud glucose
This mixture then is covered with
sterile oil to prevent air from get
I tin. at the germs, and permitted to
stand for three weeks, during which
peTiod tho titanus genns—taulfctpty'
into tho millions. These germs
excrete poison.
The next Step in the process is
the iltratiou of tlie mixture through
paper and uuglazed porcelain. This
operation eliminates the germs and
leaves a poisonous soup.
This mixture of poisonous soup
is then injected into the horses at
Rochester. At the same time,
anti-toxin is injected to neutralize
the effects of the poison. These
double injections are repeated, at
periods of about one week, for three
months, when the horse is immun
ized. The bleeding process then
begins. Each animal is bled from
the jugular vein about once every
month, an average of two gallons
of blood being taken each time.
About 25 per cent of this blood
consists of a straw-colored fluid or
serum, which Is separated from the
rest and Dlaceu in ice chests, where
it must remain for from six to
tight months. With the addition
of a preservative, and a second fil
tration through, unglazed porcelain,
the process is complete, and the
output is called anti-tesetanic ser
um.
Whenever possible, thi3 serum
is injected into each -wounded sol
dier, to eliminate all possibility of
lockjaw. Any shortage of serum
in the medical departments of the
European armies, medical authorities
assert, would result in a rapid in
crease in the death rate, and would
increase the suffering of the wound
ed soldiers a hundred fold.

STUDENTS OWN AND RUN
I
AFTERNOON NEWEPAPER
j Seattle, Nov. 6—The students of |
thq University 0f Washington own
and operate au afternoon newspa-j
per ■which has au average c! rcula- j
tiou of 2,300 copies daily in the |
college year from September to j
June. They choose an editor and j
a business manager for the publi
cation at a general election. The j
editor's tern is for six months,
with prospects of 're-election, and
the business manger's is for one;
year.
About $8,600 is required to sus- I
tain the daily for a year. Of this |
amount $2,000 i-3 brought in by sub- (
scriptions 'rom. the students and * t
$6,500 by advertising and outside^
circulation. Every student in the ,
university becomes a subscriber to ''
the University of Washington Daily '
on payment of the student fee of $5 !
collected annually. Eight cents of1 ]
every $5 is set aside for the Daily t
subscription fund.
Last year the Daily made a uet
profit of $1,400 for the associated
students. it was, in act, the one
signally prosperous enterprise con
ducted by the students.
The chief expenses of the Daily
are $1,800 for salaries of the man
ager, editor, assistant manager, clr- i
culation manager, and carriers; $1,- ;<
200 for engraving, office supplies, ! i
mailing list aud incidentals; and 1
$5,50o for composition, pre3s work |i
and stock for the 180 issues pub-j!
lished in the cou:se of the college I
year. The editor has a staff of j'
20 sub-editors and reporters, who <
work for the glory aud the practice ;
obtainable, and the business man-! 1
ager has several advertising and cir- 11
culation solicitors, who work for ex- j
perience in business-getting. , 1
The publication is printed on the ]
university's Dresses in the depart- j
ment of printing. A very general |
control is exercised over its policy jt
by the faculty, through the commit-j '
te© on student affairs. A general I'
notion that is erroneous is that the J'
department of journalism of the un- J
iversity control the newspaper, it I
hag no more definite connection
with the Daily than any other de-.1
partment has, except that usually
more young men and women from i
the department of journalism than
from any other department are to 1
be found on the staff of the Daily. '
Their specific interest in journalism J
leads the students in th9 department|
of journalism to seek practice and '
experience on the Daily.
The policy of the Daily in any
one semester is determined by the
editor, subject, of course, to the |
tastes and interests of his era- i
ployers, the associated students, i
Usually, a new editor means a new e
policy and a now typographical
dress.
The editor of the Dally this term
is Fred Woeflen, of Lewlston, Idaho.
The business manager ,1* Donald Gay,
of Seattle. Mr. Gay says tho
Dally is considered by Seattle busi
ness men as n close publication, for
Advertising -oi.rpOBes, and that tier
ire easily oou^j^d that it ii oae
