Quite frequently a particularly active and hard-working person is spoken of as a | “human dynamo,” but this term is popular- lly employed only in a figurative sense, te \indicate that the individual referred to is possessed of uncommon energy. Now the researchers and experiments | of Dr. George W. Crile, world-famous sur- geon of Cleveland, and his associates have led them to the conclusion that all persons are literally electric dynamos—that each of the 28 trillion cells in the human body is ~ i a tiny electric cel—that what we call life is | really an electrical phenomenon. Going deeper into the subject, Dr. Crile found evidences to indicate that the brain is the positive pole of the body ma- negative pole, with the heart, stomach and lungs as accessories to the electrical operation of the two dominant organs. When the body is in normal condition, a continuous flow of electrical energy is + of Homestead could not collect delinquent | produced, but this becomes weaker through taxes without first advertising the delin- | fatigue or exhaustion, and at death ceases quent taxes, an ordjuance was adopted last | week to have the delinquent:taxes for 1938, | 1939 and 1940 printed in accordance with} the law) ‘The’ city of Key West’. has’ neg: } lected this requirement for many years with the result ‘that delinquencies increased enormously. A’ city must advertise the de- } linquent taxes or forego their collections. + : The House Rivers and Harbors Com- * mittee this week voted to authorize Army + Engineers to dig a barge canal, instead of a : ship canal, across Floride. The only dif- } ference is that in the-former case the ditch 4 will not be dug so deep and for that reason £ will cost less, but the objections against the : project are just as valid in the one case as tin the other. It should be remembered, | however, that an authorization is not an ap- } propriation and the proponents of the barge ; canal will find that the rub. ‘There is no conscription for service {overseas in Canada, although Canada is a : dominion of England and England is at } war. ‘With this precedent as a criterion * why should A'mrican youth be sert across i to fight for other nations?
