study of pathological conditions of the
human body during the last century
by psychologists and bacteriologists
an intimate relation was established
between certain microscopic parasitic
organisms and diseases of a highly in
fective nature, the causes of which had
long been obscure. This subject was
advanced from two sides on the one
hand by the biologists, who were trac.

by medical men who were studying
the disease and trying to find their
causes. A good deal was known early
in the century about many of these
things. in particular that the human
body was a host for many parasitic
forms of life, and secondly, that many

malarial patients, ascribing the disease

Italian, studied the NE history Of
these parasites in the human body and
found that the febrile conditions in the

by the toxic effect OF the speculation
of these parasites. In 1856 Theobald
Smith, in studying the disease Of cat

Metropolitan Life's
 Great Showing
Wrote BIore Ordinary Insurance fin 1910 Than Any Other Company
 Fly Twenty Millions
Company Is Highly Commended By the Superintendent of Insurance For It's Progressive Manage
 ment

Of unusual interest in view of criticisms which have in the past ire quently been made of so-called Tn dustria1 Insurance" is the recent re- port of the Honorable William H. Hotchlxiss, superintendent of insurance of New York Superintendent Hotch- kiss examiners have In the last 16 months made an exhaustive investiga- tion of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, and the report embodies their conclusions.
 Incidentally the report brings out other interesting information regard ing the company. It will probably come as a surprise to many of our readers that the Metropolitan is not only the leading company in Indus trial insurance, but that during the last year it wrote practically $150,000,- 00O Ordinary insurance, the maximum permitted by the New York law. For a company that has been known in the past primarily as an Industrial com pany, this is a remarkable showing. If business written in foreign countries other than Canada be excluded, the Metropolitan wrote $20,000,000 more ordinary insurance than it's nearest competitor. There are at present over $70O 000, ,0O0 ordinary insurance in force, and. including industrial insurance over S2,21 5000, 900. In fact the company was compelled to stop issuing policies for which application was made during the last days of the year in order to keep within the law.

SENATESTEER|NG COMMITTEE NAMED Bankhead Is Member With Martin Acting as
 Chairman

Washington. Apri, 1.-The democratic
 members of the steering committee of
 the Senate were announced today. Mir
 Martin of Virginia heads them as chair
 man and the others named as members are.
 Culberson, Texas; Simons, North Caro- lima; Clarke, Arkansas; Rankhead, Ala
 bama; Fletcher, Florida; Williams, Mis- sissippi; Kern, Indiana, and Hitchcock Nebraska. The last two represent the
 pronounced progressive element in the | Senate.
 | Senator Martin, the chairman of the | democratic caucus, who framed the com mttees. had announced hls intention Of giving the new and progressive senators lair representation The steering commit- tees first function will be to take up the personnel of committees. The repub- lcan members for the task already have been chosen.
 Several of the more important commit tees probably will be enlarged to meet the demands of the democratic senators for greater representation on them. The demand for places by republican sena-
 tors is so strong that it does not seen,
 practicable to reduce the republican rep resentation and the democrats insist on
 more liberal recognition.
 Senator Gallinger, chairman of the re- publican committee on committees, con ferred on this subject today with Sena- tor Martin and they agreed to take up
 the matter with their fellow senators. The minority representatives took the
 position that there should be at least four democrats to every five republicans
 on the committees and Mir. Gallinger, while disposed to concede the fairness of this contention in the main held out for more than one majority on the larger committees, such as foreign relations, finance and interstate commerce.

THINKS CLOVER
 CAN BE GROWN

Montgomery April 11.-(Special)- That clover can be raised in this sec tion- of the states as well as in any
 other locality in the south, is the firm belief of Capt. Reuben F. Kolb, com missioner of agriculture and industries Recently Captain Kolb visited the plan tation of w. F. Sistrunk in Fillmore
 county. where he saw a 100-acre field
 of clover in full bloom and ready to
 be cut.
 This clover. according to the com-
 missioner of agriculture. was as fine
 as any he has ever seen. some of it be- ing nearly two feet tall Captain Kolh states that he was both surprised and pleased to see the wonderful crop, as the impression had long prevailed that clover could not be raised in this sec
 ton of the state.
 Captain I<olb says that clover. has
 been grown In Alabama mainly in the
 Tennessee valley section, which was tn ought to be the only portion of the state adapted to its growth The fine clover crop in Elmore county has eX- rloded the theory that clover could not be raised in this part of the state, and Captain Kolb anticipates that this cror will soon come to be as much in evi- dence in middle Alabama as in the Ten nessee valley district.
