For a long time the amoeba was looked up to as “the starter,” the most simple of living forms. Experiment and investigation with improved tools and methods disclosed bacteria, and amoeba took a back seat as a huge, rather stupid elephant, comparatively speaking. Now comes D’Herelle, the eminent bi- ologist of Pasteur institute, with what he calls the “bacteriophage,” a creature which eats bacteria and is so small that it cannot be studied with microscope and light ray. D’Herelle locates and observes the action of “bacteriophage” by the action of certain emulsions, showing that “bacteriophange” gets into bacteria’s stomach and makes him explode. Think of a living creature only about two hun- dred-thousandths of a millimeter in diameter! What’s the use? Well, for one thing when you can get some creature eating bacteria regularly, you are headed toward stronger control of human diseases. But, the “bacteriophage” isn’t the limit, by a good deal.

In the joy of service were the riches of Chicago’s grand old maid and all the needy were her family. “God bless her!” is on the tongues of thousands who have felt Helen Culver’s tender hand and heard her comforting voice.

There are the Washington high-toned clubs and hotels and apartment houses and the congressional lockers.

But, maybe it will be pretty hard to get politics out of enforce- ment, or vice versa, in Washington, where politics and Demon Rum have been life-long friends. After all, with Andrews taking polities out of enforcement and Dawes taking talk out of the United States senate, the country will not die right away from lack of Jazz effects. our Questions ? ? . .

Street cars are the safest means of trans- portation. _How much safer they are than automo- biles, you may judge by reading the acci- dent news in the daily newspapers. In these days of crowded streets and hurrying traffic, the street cars have be- come the refuge of those who wish to travel in safety, Street cars run on fixed tracks and have the right-of-way. They are always under close control by alert motormen to whom the safety of passengers is the first consid- eration, In the past two and one-half years the Seattle Municipal Street Railway has carried 2: 500,000 passengers without a fatality. You are much safer on a street car than you are walking the streets and dodging automobiles. You are safer from accident than in your own home. More people are hurt from falling down stairs alone than are injured on street cars. When you indulge in the luxury of riding downtown in your own or , the other fellow’s car, you are taking a hundred chances of injury to one when you ride in the street car, Ride in the street cars and live out.your natural life Ba ae
