In his annual report to the board of trustees, Dr. Merriam first paid high tribute to the memory of the late Dr. Robert Simpson Woodward, for 16 years president of the Carnegle Institution of Washington, who suc- cumbed to an illness that had nece sitated his retirement years ago. Tribute also was paid to the memory of Charles L. Hutchinson, a member of the board of trustees, who died of pneumonia last October. Turning then to the current work of the Institution, Dr. Merriam re- viewed briefly the year book, in which is outlined the significant work under way in the different institutional lab- oratories. While the year book for 1924, he said, is naturally made up in large part of statements relating to technical progress in researches, “the briefest review of accomplish- ment by the departments and individ- uals reveals a-wealth of outstanding problems and a record of extraordi- nary achievement in their investiga- tion.” Briefly touching on advances made by the institution’s staff characteris- tic of the year's work, Dr. Merriam nbryology, group of investigators, he said, rep- resenting the advisory committee on human behavior, spent tho Summer in behavior studies of reat collec- tion of apes and monke of the department of made noteworthy proj search on the influence of Illndl in control of development. In the same department, Dr. Mer- riam said, Dr. Blakesiee has expanded his opportunity for critical investi- ons of heredity in the jimson weed: in the laboratory for plant physiology, Dr. Spoehr has approach- ed much nearer an underatanding of the influence of sunlight in the chem- | pi ical processes of plants; mention was also made of a gift to Mount Wilson Observatory by Dr. Hale, the work being done by Dr. Bauer and his staff at the department of terrestrial magnetism. “Without multiplying examples of advances made within the past year,” Dr. Merriam concluded, “I wish onl: to add that the group of investig tors assoclated with the institution has been giving the best that concen- tration of purpose and devotion to a good cause can offer in the attempt 0 learn more fully the real meaning of the universe in which we lve.

The guests were received in the rotunda of the build- ing, decorated with seaponal greems, and, passed on to view some of the outstanding achievements of research in 1924, To wander from room to room and hall to hall was Ilike tramping through a great Pandora’s box of wonderful secrets made real and un- derstandable.

LOS ANGHLES, December 12.— Granting of citisenship here recently to a Caucasian native of Japan estab- lished what Government officers be- lieve to be a precedent. The applicant, Riccardo Stanioci, & local Interpreter, when applying for oitizenship papers, stated that he was born in Japan, brought up according to the customs of that country, but that he was of Italian parentage. In- vestigation showed that his parents years ago were connected with the Talian embassy in Tokio, of his parents, Stan- adopted by a Jap- with whom he lived ago, when he entered tes at S8an Franclieco. He stated that his wife is half Eng- lish and half Japane: but that no Oriental blood flo n his veins. Lot of Style and Value for So Little Money! Women feel that way about Sterling Shoes.

Time for hopeful housewives to be getting in some mighty good licks on friend husband’s disposi- tion. Could anything be more horrible than to have him set forth on the day he proposes to pick your present, with a bad taste in his mouth and pains in his stomach? Don't let it happen! Take no chances! Make every day count. See that he gets a good, hot, palatable, nourishing breakfast every morning. St every day with Auth’s. It is rumored that breakfasts will play an im- portant part in more than one campaign this year. Make it play an important part in yours. Win his heart—and you’ll win the best that his purse can give. Win his stomach—and his heart will tumble without a murmur. Savory, steaming, sustaining sausage for break- fast—flavored as only Auth knows how—will work wonders with his disposition. It will put him in that amiable state of mind where nothing is too good for the family. Then when the buy- ing impulse strikes—the impulse to go out and get that new something-or-other you’ve been dreaming about for weeks—his heart and stom- ach will combine to banish all resistance. lt will pay to give him— SAUSAGE MEAT 117771717007 07 0277771 E11I1 1P 1P III LI A LI T I IIT FAAITLPIITI AP H1 R P L P17 T2
