BALTIMORE, December 28— -Men and women of science, who spend long hours ease by controlling microbes, turned to Baltimore today for the convening of | the thirty-third annual meeting of the | Society of American Bacteriologists, the second largest scientific organization in North America. Discoveries to Be Bared. ‘They eame to hear and tell of the latest discoveries in the battle azainst typhus, infantile paralysis and menin- | gitis and of bacteriology’s latest co | tributions to the solution of agricultur: and industrial problems Three days of scientific discussions, open to the public, were on the pro- gram, with papers by many eminent | scholars, including Dr. F. D'Herelle of | sity, and C. E. A. Winslow, M. D,, o | the ‘department of public health, Yale University. Two Johns Hopkins research workers, Miss Justina M. Hill and Dr, Edwin C | White, were scheduled to tell of their efforts to find out why the skin of some persons kil certain germs and why the | skin of others will not Dr J. Howard Brown of the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health, is president of the | society. Pests Make Germs Harmful. Disease germs have ‘“plages,” tiny organisms whose “bites” sometimes turn the bacteria into raging destroyers and sometimes drug them into harmlessness Discovery of certain profound effects | of these bacterial phages was reported | to the Society of American Bacieriolo- gists today by Dr. F. ™ 'Herelie of the School of Medicine of Yale University. The bacterial pests do not merely drive disease germs berserk, but some- how alter heredity, so that a different species of bacteria developes. The new species may be either more dangerous or less so than were its parents D'Herelle's discovery suggests the possibility of controlling bacteria by breeding. provided it can be ascertained what kind of phages will rob disease germs of their virulence. First Found in 1918. D'Herelle_discovered the existence of phages in 1918. They are invisible to the most powerful microscope. D'Herelle believes they are living things. Some scientists doubt this and hold that they are some Sort of chemical having a powerful affinity for bacteria. Fre- quently the phages which prey on one type of bacteria are harmless to other types. D'Herelle's phages already have been used with good results in_checking isolated cholera outbreaks in India. The cholera phage does something to render the plague Jess deadly D'Herelle told the bacteriologists today that disease bacteria do not change their species or their virulence unless a “phage” hecomes associated with them He described raising bacteria in “pure form”; that is, without any phage. He grew them on 500 different kinds of bacterial food, or media. Not the slightest change occured in these bac- teria in a single case. Then the phage was given to them and D'Herelle says Rate of Growth Measured. “From the moment of the contami- naticn, mutations occur in every direc- | tion and each of the characters varies | by itself as a separate entity with a re- | sult that the number of possible muta- | tions, all from a single primitive bac- terium, is indefinite: The bacterial transformations are true | mutations, similar to those which have been described by botanists as occurring |in_plants under action of parasitism.” The rate of growth of a single bac- terium has been measured by Dr. Stan- hope Bayne-Jones and Dr. Edward F. Adolph of the University of Rochester School of Medicine. A ‘single germ is placed on thé point of a cone of germ food, and its motion picture taken at the rate of 20 to 30 views per minute for several hours. Some bacteria after growing to full size, later actually begin to grow smaller, although they do not go clear back to babyhood size again.

BLAKESLEE, Associated Press Science FEditor. NEW ORLEANS, December 28 Dis- covery of a true missing link, an animal with the “foundations of the human face,” was described to the American Association for the Advancement of | Science today by Prof. Willlam Patten | of Dartmouth College. | The link is & tiny, 5-inch-long skele- ton, found in rocks of the Baltic Sea 1t is between 500,000,000 and 1,000,000,- 000 years old, .and has the typical markings of a certain early prenatal de- velopment of & human being It is an ostracoderm, an extinct, ten- pin shaped, fishlike creature, descend- ant of glant spiders, the sea scorpions, which Prof. Patten said “something like a thousand million years ago were the highest mammals in existence.” Bridges Wide Gap. This Baltic fossil bridges the gap be- tween man’s evolutionary “family,” as | evolutionists say, the back-boned ani- | mals, and about three-fourths of all| the world’s living creatures, which were considered beyond the pale of kinship. This vast outside host includes the in- sects. It is the arachnid family, the jointed-foot animals, creatures which | carry their skeletons outside like arm/‘lri plate instead of inside built around a backbone. Now, he thinks, he has found the miesing link o convince them. For more than 40 years,” he said. the author has been trying to find in one part of the world or another in primitive animals, living or extinct, some easily understood structure which would carry conviction to his less hope- | ful colleagues. “That has been done, I think, in the recent discovery of some ostracoderms from the Island of Oesel in the Baltic | | Seas. They show very clearly some of the earliest known geologic stages in the development of the face, with jaws | and mouth as predicted, and at the same time resembling a condition long known to exist in early embryonic stages of human beings “These very ancient fossils show us that the fundamental pattern of bodily organization from sea scorpions to man has not changed in any essential re- spects for something like a thousand million years, and that such evolution- ary factors as heredity, environment and natural selection serve merely to sustain, liberate or control the inher- ent creative potentialities of the initial pattarns.” The ostracoderm has six pairs of gills or arches in the mouth. Pre-natal humans also have gills and other simi- larities to animals. These animal “'ves- tiges” change rapidly in the developing human into various normal organs It appears. Prof. Patten explained, that the two upper pairs of ostracoderm gills developed into some of the upper | head bones. The third, fourth and fifth pairs became the upper and the lower | jaws. The sixth pair turned into a chin. | “These dP\elnmen!BI readjustments,” he said, “laid the foundation for the human face.” A partial substitute for vitamin “A" was explained by Prof. F. E. Chidches- ter, W. D. Bourn and 1. A. Wales of the University of West Virginia. It is composed of lineolic acid and iodine treated with iron. Fed to rats deprived | of vitamin “A,” it restored them to health within a week. Cosmic rays were made audible for the first time at a scientific exposition sponsored by the association. These rays come from interstellar space and | are so plentiful that they penetrate | everything on earth down to about 1,000 feet in the ground. | Dr. Robert A. Milliken says they | arise from creation of hydrogen and| other matter in space, while other scientific leaders say they come from destruction of matter in the hot in- terior of sun and stars. Most_of them travel at speed of light for millions of years before reaching earth. After driving through the roof and upper floors of the big municipal auditorium, where the science show is held, they were heard by visitors as they fell like bullets on a counter devised by the physics department of Rice In- stitute of Houston, Tex.
