* DOUBLE VACCINE FOR FLU TESTED
Protection Given Ferrets but Effect on Humans Is Unknown.
By Science Service ‘NEW ORLEANS, March 14—A new kind of double vaccine which gave “solid immunity” or resistance against several strains of influenza virus on its first trials was announced today by Doctors Frank L. _ Horsfall Jr. and Edwin H. Lennette of the Rockefeller Foundation, New York, at the meeting here of the Federation of American Societies for
Experimental Biology. Up to the time of their departure ‘for this meeting, the scientists had no evidence that efforts to produce the complex vaccine in a form suitable for protecting humans against influenza would be successful. The success reported today was in vaccination of ferrets. They hope, however, that the work . how under way at the laboratories of the Rockefeller Foundation’s International Health Division will succeed, and that hope is based on the particular makeup of the new vaccine. ' The vaccine is a double virus vaccine. It was made by grinding up the lungs and spleen of ferrets that had been given influenza by injection of ‘flu virus or germs. By accident, these ferrets got distemper at the same time they were given influenza. That may turn out to have been a lucky accident, bécause neither influenza virus nor distemper virus alone could be made into a successful anti-influenza virus. The complex nature of the vaccine which is its strength, may be its weakness when it comes to vaccinating humans. Neither Dr. Horsfall nor Dr. Lennette would take the risk of injecting ferret lung and spleen tissue into humans. So they are trying to get the two viruses, _ influenza and distemper, to grow together on the membranes of developing chick embryos, or if that fails, to grow them separately and then mix them into a vaccine.

Thor Washer,
Mends Broken Lives

Men sat crouched at a semicircled, green covered table in a Reno gambling den. A keen-eyed
he might see the cards better under the glaring light, sat in the. “slot.” “Hit me,” said one of the players in low tones, and the man in the “slot” dealt him a card. “Hit me again,” said the player. He cursed. The second.card “put him over.” His cards totaled more than 21, the blackjack limit. And the sharp-eyed dealer took his money. Today, the dealer is a long way from that smoke-filled gambling hall. Now, he’s mending broken lives in Indianapolis.
His Story Is Typical
He's Capt. A. J. Wolf, in charge of the Salvation - Army Hotel at Senate Ave. and Ohio St. His story is typical of that of many Salvation Army workers and the countless men and women it has helped during its:60 years in the United States, the anniversary which it will celebrate this year. Clad in an apron, Capt. Wolf was working in"the kitchen at the hotel. One of the cooks just couldn’t make the grade.. He couldn't beat , the bottle and Capt. Wolf had to let him go. The Captain hopes hell come back some day and make good. “My story is just like that of the men I try to care for here,” he said. “I ran away from my home in Denver when I was 15. Domestic trouble. Don’t need to go into that.
“Drifted Here and There’
“I drifted here and there. I went to Kansas City and learned the restaurant trade. I made as much as $35 a week there, and that was good money in those days. : . “I went to the coast. Worked in Sacramento and Los Angeles. I got to boozing, gambling, too. Sometimes I had money. Sometimes I

didn’t. There were times when I didn’t have a decent shirt, and my morale got pretty low. ‘ “I finally drifted into Reno and got a job in a gambling house which ran day and night. ‘The Owls,’ it was called. “Then 1 got to going to the Salvation Army meetings on the street corner.” Attended Chicago College
Capt. Wolf attended the Salvation Army training college in Chicago, learning ministerial and social work. He worked with the army in Frankfort, Bloomington and Kokomoc before coming here five years ago. : During the time he has been here, the army hotel and its predecessor has been “host” to about 12,600 transients and about 1300 Indian-
apolis men in need of food and shei-|
ter. An average of 250 stay there nightly. : “There are young men who, like me, ran away from home,” he explained.” There have been some pretty tough ones, too. One night a fellow drew a knife and before he was under control he menaced a half dozen of us.
Refuge for Young Yeggs
“Then there were three fellows who stayed here for about two months. They were in hiding, but the police finally caught up with them. They were safe-crackers. “Sometimes old prize fighters come in gnd get rough.” Capt. Wolf doesn’t believe in forcing anyone to religion. “We have devotions every morning before breakfast and a service every Wednesday night,” he explained. | “I know I am preaching to men with blighted lives. I try to show them there is a new goal for them and try to convince them they should try to reach it. It's up to them.”

Calls for More - Aid for Finns
. Don’t forget the Finns now that peace has been signed, Albert J. Beveridge Jr., Finnish Relief Fund state chairman, ‘urged Hoosiers today. : . He said there will be thousands more Finnish refugees as a result of the acquisition of territory by Russia and “innumerable” towns and hamlets devastated by air raids. These must be helped “in their determination to start life anew,” Mr. Beveridge said. “Herbert Hoover, the national chairman of the Finnish Relief Fund, Inc. has asked me to remind all Hoosiers of the fate that has befallen Finland,” Mr. Beveridge’s statement said. He said that Indiana already has contributed more than $25,000 to the relief of the civilian, population of Finland. Further contributions will be received by the fund headquarters at the Claypool and at the Union Trust Co. he said.
