CARNEGIE TRUST SERUM
AND RESEARCH
More Students Taking Salaried Posts
An encouraging statement re- garding the lifting of the industrial depression was made in the annual report of the executive committee of the Carnegie Trust for the Uni- versities of Scotland, submitted to
the trustees at a meeting in Lon- don yesterday.
"It is a matter of common know- ledge," the report stated, "that for some years past the flow from research to university and industri-
al posts Bad diminished. It is, therefore, algulicant that since the awards wère intimated last July designations on account of appointment to salaried posts have again. become numerous. It would be premature to infer from this circumstance' that the end of the depression is in sight, but the gen- eral impression that it has lifted considerably, so far as this country is concerned, is supported by the fact mentioned above."
In regard to the scheme of post- graduate study and research, the that the committee pointed out problem of the trust had not been to find suitable and well-qualified applicants, but to And sufficient means to finance them in their in vestigations.

Gold coins are to appear on the gaming tables at Monte Carlo to- morrow evening, after an interval of twenty years. It is believed that this will add glamour to the famous salons and increase their, attraction both to professional gamblers and Riviéra holiday visitors.

In the present investigation cases of lebar pneumonia were treated with serum in institutions where other patients (génerally alternate admissions) were receiving exactly the same treatment in every other detail except for the serum.
A large gold reserve the extent of which is not disclosed, has been kept in strong-rooms for many months past in Paris, and has now been transferred to Monte Carlo. It consists of American 5, 10 and 20-dollar pieces. Eventually Mene. gaque coins, similar to those in use before the war, will be used, it is hoped, put at present the French Government Mint, working overtime on its own, new coinage, could not guarantee delivery before the end of the Riviera season.
