More Pictures
In Newspapers
Ann Arbor News Editor
Discusses New Trends
In Modern Journalism
Newspapers in the future will de-
vote more and more space to news
pictures, Arthur W. Stace, editor of
the Ann Arbor News, predicted yester-
day in an illustrated lecture spon-
sored by the journalism department
at the Rackham amphitheatre. The
talk was the third in a series intended
to give those interested in journalism
an opportunity to hear and talk with
working: newspapermen.
Editors are at last beginning to real-
ize the potentialities of pictures as
means of attracting attention to news
articles, Stace explained. The average
reader today is too busy to do more
than skim through a newspaper. Pic-
'ures and cartoons help him to see
important issues at a glance, and
serve to draw his attention to the
newsC stories.
This trend towards the use of more
pictures- may be illustrated by the
conduct of the Associated Press, Mr.
Statce stated. Following its conserva-
tive tendencies, the Associated Press
was one of the last news-gathering
agencies to adopt the regular use of
pictures. Today, it is a leading gather-
er of news pictures, and was the first
to transmit pictures by telephoto. At
the- recent meeting of the Associated
Press in Cleveland, Kent Cooper, one
of its officials, declared that the "time
is approaching when papers will be 50
per cent text, and 50 per cent pic-
tures; and both text and pictures will
be sent over the same wire."
Graduate Discusses
Asiatic War Today
Curtis Manchester, graduate student
in geography, will review "The Real
Conflict Between China and Japan"
by H. F. MacNair, at the Association
Book Review at 4:15 today in Lane
Hall.
Mr. MacNair's new book was high-
ly recommended by the New York
Times Book Review for showing "what
a striking divergence exists between
the two nations in national charac-
teristics, thought, mode of action and
attitude toward government."

Slovak Police Check Anti-German Riots In Bratislava

A mob is shown in this picture, transmitted from London to New York by radio, as it was driven back by
police in Bratislava following demonstrations against Germans during which stench and smoke bombs were
discharged. A day later the Slovakian parliament voted its independence under the sponsorship of Gernany,
and Prague admitted the dissolution of the Czechoslovakian government.

Her Divorce (ranted

By RICHARD HARMEL
Many of the great cures, marking
milestones in the history of medicine,
stem out of man's almost eternal
search to find a "magic bullet"-
some mighty drug that would seek
out infection and destroy it ruth-
lessly, Dr. H. Marvin Pollard, secre-
tary of the School of Medicine, said
yesterday.
Egyptian physicians in the days of
Rameses were already on the search
for powerful drugs to cure disease,
Dr. Pollard explained. In search of
their magic potijn they mixed blood,
feathers and a thousand fantastic
ingredients in skillfully compounded
drugs.
Alchemy and its engrossing search
for a mixture that would turn lead
into gold failed to add any decisive
factor in the search for the "magic
bullet," but there was one man, Pa-
racelsus, a super-charlatan, who at-
tempted to explain all animal activi-
ty on a chemical basis. In an ef-
fort to prove his contention, Para-
celsus mixed many metallic com-
pounds among which was mercury.
Mercury seemed to answer the 16th
century physician's prayer for some
drug that would affect the lesions of

Goes On Exp>edition
To South America
Prof. William Randolph Taylor of
the botany department was .among
the crew of 15 scientists who left
Los Angeles harbor last Sunday for
an eight weeks expedition to the At
lantic Coast borders of South Ameri-
ca. This, is the first of eight expe-
ditions to Atlantic waters.
The exploration cruiser Velero III,
which is flying the colors of the
University of Southern California for
the first time, was presented to
U.S.C. by Captain Hancock last Jan-
uary as a companion gift to the Allan
Hancock Foundation for Scientific
Research. Providing for continued
operation of the cruiser, Captain
Hancock will serve as director of the
expedition.
Previous cruises have included the
Galapagos Archipelago, the Gulf of
California, and the South American
coast to Peru. Thousands of rare and
valuable specimens have been collect-
ed on these past expeditions, includ-
ing many forms hitherto unknown to
science.
