HORSES GIVING BLOOD
TO SAVE WAR VICTIMS
(By the United Press.) j
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 3. Quartered
on some of the finest pasture land in
Michigan, at Rochester, near Detroit, !
and maintained in a life of luxury and
ease a drove of magnificent horses are
daily giving their blood-to save the '
lives of soldiers fighting on the bat. j
tlefields of Europe. These animals .
i have no other purpose in life they ,
merely give, their blood that the sol-
diers may livp. The horses are the
property of Parke, Davis and Com.
pany of Detroit, the largest drug
manufacturing concern in the world.
They are used to produce anti-tese-tanic
serum, which is administered to
prevent and cure the dread disease,
tetanus. The entire output of the an.
ti-tesetanic serum manufactured by
the Parke Davis company from the
blood of their horses, is now shipped
to Europe for injection into the sol
diers suffering or threatened with
tetanus.
The method of manufacturing the
serum is complicated, and the pro
cess takes more than nine months
from start to finish. Briefly, the
method is this: Tetanus germs, which
pagated on a large scale in the Parke j
Davis laboratories. These germs are
forty feet square, which is filled with 1
beef soup, or bouillon, manufactured
from beef and glucose. This mixture
anus germs multiply into the mil
lions. These germs excrete poison.
This mixture of poisonous soup is
then injected into the horses at Ro. j
Chester. At the same time, anti-tox- j
in is injected to neutralize the effects 1
of the poison. These double injections j
are repeated, at periods of about one
week, for hree months, when the
horse ' is immunized. . The bleeding
process begins. Each animal is bled
from the jugular vein about once
every month, an average of two galJ
Ions of blood beingtaken each time.
Whenever possible, this serum is
injected into each wounded soldier, to
eliminate all possibility of lockjaw.
Any shortage of serum in the medical
departments of the European armies,
medical authorities assert, would re
sult in a rapid increase in the death
rate and would increase the suffering
of the wounded soldiers . a hundred
fold.

LINER'S SIDE GRAZED BY A
FLOATING MINE NEAR
IRISH COAST.
THING FAILED TO GO OFF
Costly Big Ship With Precious Car.
go Probably Was Saved by Neg
ligence .of Constructors of
the Torpedo.
(By the United Press.)
London, Nov. 4. After escaping
destruction by a floating mine through
sheer luck, the White Star linar Olym
pic today landed passengers and
mails at Belfast. It is reported that
the Olympic struck the mine, which
failed to explode.
The Olympic, one of the largest
steamships in the world, carried
considerable number of passengers
besides her big crew. When the
great hull scraped the floating bomb
there was imminent danger that all
would be sent to the bottom of the sea
as quickly as did the more than 1,600
Titanic victims.
All owe their escape to an imper.
fection in the construction of the
mine rather than to defective explo
sives contained in it, is the opinion
of the ship's officers.

I i . l c .. i
The Democrats were claiming that
they would carry the State, but Pro.
gressives and Republicans were ex.
pected to make a gopd showing. Lead
ers of the former were particularly
optimistic and looked for much Re.
publican support. The campaign was
a hot one. In Logan county the coun
ty court was forced by writ of man
damus to sit in extra session and reg
ister Republicans who charged that
they ware not permitted to list them
selves during the regular registra
tion. Politics were blamed for the
"shooting up" of the homes of a num
ber of negroes, in an alleged effort to
frighten them away from the polls.

This is election day. As early as
5:45 o'clock the Courthouse bell pro
claimed it The polls were officially
opened at 6:39 a. m., and will close
at 5:16.
Democratic County Chairman G.
V. Cowper this morning declared that
there was a possibility that the par
ty's majority in the county would not
come up to 1,200, which he regards
as the normal majority. A spirit of
disinterestedness prevailed in nearly
all precincts. Party leaders look for
a majority of 900 to a thousand at
least, however. Voting was slow dur.
ing the earlier hours of the day, and
at precinct No. 1 in the city at 10:25
a. m. only a half hundred had ct
ballots.
In the Second Congressional dis
trict, this being an off year, Repre
sentative Claude Kitchin will not get
more than an 8,000 majority, Chair
man Cowper thinks. This majority
W. O. Dixon, Republican, has for
days past conceded his opponent.
Chief interest in the State centers
about the proposed constitutional
amendments, ten in number. Demo,
cratic headquarters at Raleigh is sat.'
isfied that all ten will carry. Many
Republicans and Progressives have
declared their favor for the amend
ments, although in Lenoir county the
Moosers declined to endorse the tenth.
There are warm contests in one or
two western congressional districts.
Full returns, county, State and na.
tional, will be had in Loftin's opera
house this evening.
AMENDMENTS AROUSE
INTEREST IN TEXAS
Dallas, Texas, Nov. 3. A victory
for the Democratic State candidate,
for the two Democratic candidates for
congressman at large and in the six
teen Congressional districts was the
only expected result in today's elec
tion. The certainty of an overwhelm
ing Democratic majority, which al
ways brings out a light vote in State
elections, was slightly offset today by
balloting on three proposed amend
ments to the State constitution, in
eluding one providing for the initia
tive and referendum.
This amendment, ordinarily likely
to pass, seemed doomed to defeat to
day, owing to the opposition of the
staunchest friends of the initiative
and referendum. The proposal, ori
ginally introduced in the form of the
perfect Wisconsin plan, was changed
in the last hours of the 1913 legisla
ture's session.
The two other amendments voted
on today were likely to pass, author
izing counties bordering on the Gulf
of Mexico to build seawalls and in
creasing the compensation of the leg
islature and extending the length of
the regular session.
