Thrills, Chills And
Spills Feature New
Sea Speedway Film
“Speed Demon,” a Columbia pic
ture featuring William Collier. Jr.,
Joan Marsh, Wheeler Oakman and
Robert Ellis, the first film dealing
with the spectacular sport of the
mile-a-minute outboard motor boats
will be the screen feature at the
Dream Theatre, Friday night.
Thrilling championship races of
the little craft which zip over the
j water at the speed of sixty miles an
hour, hair-raising crackups and
crashes made “Speed Demon” a rare
treat.
The story deals with the efforts of
Collier, as a champion speedboat
driver, to redeem himself from the
disgrace of having been suspended
for racing while intoxicated, and the
love of a girl and a little waif from
an orphanage whom he has befriend
ed.
Columbia realized before starting
“Speed Demon” that it was confront
ed with a tremendously difficult un
' dertaking. Other companies had at
tempted to make hydroplane films
with varying success. Before start
‘ ing shooting, Columbia carefully
considered numerous leaders in the
•
sport of outboard racing for the post
of technical advisor and finally sel
ected young Rodney Pantages, a
' champion in his class, to handle the
difficult boating sequences. Five of
the ten boats used in these scenes
are national record holders, which
i
helped no end in getting the re
1 quired “speed” shots promptly and
effectively.
Besides Pantages, other outboard
champions who appear in “Speed
Demon” are Joe Banzi, Hersshey
Reynolds and Roger Swartwood,
While some of the prominent play
ers in the cast supporting the fea
tured principals are Fuzzy Knight,
Georgie Ernest, clever child actor;
Ed Le Saint, Ethan Laidlaw and
Harry Tenbrook.

LOCAL NEWS
Pilot Chester Brown of the North
ern Air Transport is scheduled for a
flight to Deering, Candle and Kotze
bue tomorrow morning, weather
permitting, with express and pas
sengers. It is expected that he will
return to Nome the same day.
The Polarites organization which
usually meets once a week on Wed
nesday evening, in the gymnasium
of the native school, will not hold
its weekly turn-out tonight, due to
the big public amateur night being
staged this evening at the Dream
Theatre. It is also believed that
next Wednesday night the Polarites
will again postpone meeting in view
of the Smoker being staged at the
Dream Theatre, Feb. 6th, by the
Nome Athletic Club.
The local office of the Alaska Road
Commission is in receipt of a tabu
lated table of estimated airline dis
tances between airplane fields in
Alaska. ^
The table has just been received
and is on file at the A. R. C. office
for public inspection by those inter
ested.
More than 82 airplane fields are
listed on the table, and it is reported
that the distances compare within
fractions of miles with actual figures
obtained through local airplane com
panics.
The table applies to the entire
Territory with the exception of Pt.
Barrow, where airplane fields are
located, and presents one of the
greatest | single proofs of the air
mindedness of the public of Alaska.

Medical School in Philadelphia, de
scribed tests made on experimental
monkeys. Vaccinated a year ago,
they are still immune to infantile
paralysis.
Into the brains of healthy mon
keys he pumped “polio” virus
drawn from the spinal cord of a
child who had died of the disease.
Then he killed the monkey and re
moved the diseased spinal column.
This he ground up in a sodium ric
inoleate solution. After refining, the
vaccine thus obtained is ready for
injection.
Already Dr. Kolmer has injected
his vaccine into 25 children and
numberless monkeys. By examin
ing the blood of his subjects he has
proved that sufficient antibodies —
agents able to destroy the virus of
infantile paralysis—have sprung up
to constitute a definite immunity.
The most hopeful aspect of this re
search is the rapidity with which
the vaccine works. Within 96 hours
after injection the patient’s blood
begins manufacturing protective anti
bodies. Furthermore, the vaccine
could be prepared in large batches
in case another bad “polio” epidem
ic strikes the country.
The vaccine prepared by Dr. Mau
rice Brodie, New York City Depart
ment of Health researcher, differs
from the Kolmer preventative in
that it is a “dead” vaccine. He
grinds his diseased monkey spinal
cord in a 40 per cent solution of
formaldehyde. This process kills
the microbe which causes the dis
ease but does not lessen the germ’s
ability to stimulate antibody produc
tion. Seventeep persons have taken
the Brodie vaccine with no ill eff
ects. No one knows how long their
immunity will continue.
