Particularly Illuminating were tAe
remarks about the aims and objects
of municipal undertakings. The
speakers, all connected either as
members Of council committees or az
officials with public street railway
systems, were all concerned not about
dividends to shareholders, but about
meeting the peoples need for cheap
and good transportation. Thus, Mr..
Dalrymple, the manager of the Glas-
gov street railways said the policy
In that city had been to give the
largest possible ride for the lowest
possible fare and from time to time
fares had been reduced. Last Decem-
Der the 1-cent distance was increased
from half a mile to considerably over
one mile. Since the change, the
street railways are carrying nearly a
million extra passengers week, and
the income had slightly decreased
Mr.. Dalrymple believed that in a
short time the extra passengers would
make up the loss.

WHAT EVERY BABY NEEDS.

The doings of the Vanderbilt baby are of absorb
ing interest to every one Though not yet chrstened
it has gone out and acquired model dairy for its
own exclusive use. This dairy will have select cows
producing select milk, and the men who attend the
COWS will be thoroughly sterilized. The Vanderbilt
baby has not omitted one detail that makes for
plenty, comfort and safety. For baby only few
days old to have the forethought to acquire dairy
for its own use shows that the superior brains of
the owners Of this country begin to work at an
early age.
Ordinary babies, without forethought, initiative
and resourcefulness, content with dip-mlk that
just barely measures up to the low standard re-
quired by law. That is why so many of them die.
Sometimes the milk is fairly good, sometimes it is
rank poison. Now, if these babies would get a
move on and each of the few millions of them
acquire special, select dairy there would not only
be plenty of milk but it would be of safe quality
There eight of the Vanderbilt baby COWS
and two men look after them. On this basis, if
we have 100000 milk drinking babies, all we
need would be 10000 900 mich cows There are
less than 100000 in the country But that is the
fault of the babies Then it would require 100000
men to look after the cows if the babies had them
BESIDES the babies would need each day and a
night nurse, physician and governess or tutor
hat would be 100000 people looking after
them, 100000 in ALL
1t each baby could not consume the milk of eight
COWS, then some of it might be given to children or
to the adults who looked after the COWS and the
babies: This, however, would tend to make them
dependents, and would lower their standard of self
dependence. They should each go and get eight
COWS, which would simply mean 100000 for the
ninety or SO million people in the country It seems
like tremendous herd but if the Vanderbilt baby
needs eight, why don't the others? And if the Van
derbilt baby get eight, why can't the others Z?
Ii at the age of few days Vanderbilt baby can
get possession Of eight COWS, why can't an adult
do it?
These are serious questions, for those eight Van
derbllt COWS have set a standard. No respectable
baby can ever have fewer and all babies who intend
to be respectable should get move and acquire
them.

AS TO BLUFFING.

7 HAS long been known that canny
Il old Andrew Carnegie had the rare
gift of humor. That disproves what
the stage joker has had to say about
the Scotch and their lack of the saw
ing human grace. Now comes the
creator of peace funds and armor
plate to tell it that the king business
is a great bluff And he ought to
know for he has long been the steel
king.
Then, too, the hero rewarder should
know a thing or two about bluff, for
didn't he bluff the Morgan crowd out
of several hundred millions or so in
that steel trust deal? And surely
neither King George, nor King Will
liam, nor King Haakon, nor King
Frederick, nor King Peter, nor King
Nicholas, nor any of the rest Of them
who are busy bluffing several hun
dred million people, can beat that
bluff,
Therefore when the dispenser of
high protective tariff won millions and

kings he just laughs because he and
SAACy Ao1A4Ac tAe1T game IS a DUH, ne
knoweth whereof he speaks, which
brings one or two thoughts to the
human occupants Of this mundane
creation on the subject of bluffs.
How much of this game called life
is bluff, anyway? How many of the
winners hold the cards and how many
are merely straight-faced buffers? If
the cards were laid on the table how
many Of the winners would be found
holding a measly pair Of deuces while
the losers held the aces but faint
hearts? And that applies all the way
through from the man behind the
pickaxe to the chap grabbing the
steering wheel; from the worshipfu1
applauder to the fellow who writes
his name on the governmental pay,
rolls.

1t be nice for him to go a bit further
and properly classify the rest Of man

GREAT WORK AHEAD FOR GOV. WILSON.

The election OF Woodrow Wilson as President OF
the United States by an unprecedented electoral
vote, and Democratic Congress, with chances ex-
ceedingly favorable for Democratic Senate, turns
the whole power of the Federal government with
its entire responsibility to the Democratic
party.
1t is the first time in twenty years that this party
will be in complete authority. However, it is a
different party than that which went into
power in 1892. Then the servants of the special
interests were in the saddle. Now the party is in
control of and represented by the servants of the
people and the champions Of equal rights.
Mr.. Wilson will have a hard row to hoe. The
party is under pledge to batter the entertainments
of privilege to reduce the tariff to compel capital
ization of corporations basis of physical value
and to enact legislation for the protection of the
rights of labor and the promotion of social justice
1t is the Democratic party chance to make good
and to fulfill the promises made in it's behalf by
Mr.. Bryan for 10, these many years. Should it fail
to make good it may just we'll give up the ghost
and consign itself forever to political oblivion.
Mr.. Wilson is we'll equipped with every human
endowment to take up and consumate the great
work entrusted to him by the American people.
May the Democrats from every section of the
country cooperate with him in carrying out the
pledges Of the party. If they do confidence in the
party will be shown by the people and it will be
returned again to power as easily as it was when
it followed the ideals Of Jefferson and jackson.

THE CASTLE OF
OUR DREAMS,
BY Adelbert Stewart.

Last night I climbed the well-worn
steps
The castle of my dream,
And YEARLY I paused to rest
And watch a tiny stream
That flowed along a violet vale
Where roses always grow;
1t wove the sunbeams as it danced
Among it's wreaths Of snow.
Then someone came and touched my
lips
And softly sang to me,
Until I slept, and slept, and slept,
And from all cares was free.
And when at last I woke. twas morn,
And close pressed to my cheek
A crimson rose had blossomed there,
And tried it's love to speak.
How oft our heart goes out to some
Dear soul we've learned to love,
Whose very presence is our Throne
A blessing from above.
We try to speak-but like the rose,
Our trembling lips are dumb,
We watch them day. by day and
The words they will not come.
Last night I climbed the Well-worn
steps
The castle of my dream,
And heard the singing Of a bird
Beside a crystal stream.
Someone was near-I felt a pair
OF arms about me close,
And when I woke the, ground was
StreWn
With petals of a rose.
But some day there will come a.
It comes to every soul,
When every barrier must yield,
For Love will pay the toll.

FIGHTING INFANT PARALYSIS

ID RoF. M. J. RosENAU of Har-
u ward recently announced that he
had apparently succeeded in transmit
ting infant paralysis from monkey to
monkey through the agency of the
biting stable-f1y. Confirmation of
Rosenau's work has just appeared in
an article by Anderson and Frost in
the U. S. Public Health Reports. These
authors report that they were able to
transmit infant paralysis to monkeys
through the agency Of the flies and to
transmit the infection to a fresh
monkey with the emulsion of the
cord of one of the animals infected by
the flies.
One point Of especial interest in the
results reported by Anderson and
Frost is the period elapsing between
the first exposure Of flies to the in
fected animal and the development Of
the disease in healthy animals, the
shortest period being il seven days,
which is shorter than that found by
Rosenau in his experiments. These
results, in confirmation of those an
nounced by Rosenau in Washington,
would seem to demonstrate conclu-
sively that infant paralysis may be
transmitted to monkeys through the
agency Of the stable-hy. ..t:
|. It remains, Of course, for further
work to determine whether this is
the usual or the only " method of
transmission. This early confirmation,
while too late to be Of great value in
attempts to control: the disease in the
United States his year, will undoubt-
eddy result in efforts by health auth
critics in localities where infant pa
ralysis has prevailed. to eliminate the
ble-fly and to prevent its access to
any persons SUSPECTED OF having In
font paralysis.

THE NOBEL PRIZE IN MEDICINE
HE Nobel prizes were founded by

HE Nobel prizes were founded by
Alfred Nobel, a Swedish engineer
and inventor Of high explosives. He
directed that the income of a large
sum OF money should be divided each
year into five prizes-in physics,
chemistry, physiology or medicine.
literature, and In work toward the
establishment Of peace His purpose
was Ito compensate those who in the
previous year have been most useful
OF humanity" regardless of their ma
tionality. It is said that the value
of each prize is $4,000.
The prizes have been awarded an.
nually since 1901, when Behring re-
ceived the prize in medicine for his
discovery of diphtheria antitoxin.
Among the recipients Of this prize are
pawlow, Koch, Laveran, Finsen.
Ehrlich, Metchnikoff and Kocher. It
has not been found practicable to
follow to the letter the direction of
the founder to give the prizes for the
most remarkable achievements Of the
preceding years, this direction being
interpreted to mean recent achieve
ments. Previous to this year two
americans have received prizes, A. A.
Nicholson of the University of Chi
cago in physics, and Theodore Roose-
welt for his efforts to establish peace
between Japan and Russia.
This year for the first time the
prize In medicine comes to this
country. Alexis Carrel, who brings
this honor to American medicine, was
born In France in 1873 and graduated
as doctor Of medicine from the Uni
versity of Lyons in 1900. Shortly aft
erWard he came to this country and
worked for a year or two In the
hpysiologic laboratory of the Univers-
ity of Chicago, where he accom-
pl1shed remarkable results in the su-
ture Of blood vessels, and began his
work on the transplantation of or
gans.
Soon after the opening of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re-
search in New York he Joined it's
stan, and 1t is there that he has done
the work for which he now receives
the Nobel prize. This work has at
tracted wide notice.
The results he has obtained in ex-
perimental surgery, more particularly
IN the surgery Of blood vessels and
IN the transportation of organs and
or limbs, are characterized as moth
ing less than sensational; they show
a marvellous technical skill, persever-
ance and scientific ingenuity at the
same time as they indicate posi-
bilities Of surgery heretofore un-
dreamed of.
His recent exploits in the cultiva-
ton of tissues outside Of the body,
promises new knowledge of biologio
and physiologic processes.

THE long-looked-for history OF the
l. Halifax family has at last come
from the press Of the publishers
Under the auspices of the Training
School for Feeble Minded at Vine
land. N. j., DR.. Henry H. Goddard
has investigated and compiled the re-
suits of his work in the heredity Of
this most remarkable family.
During Revolutionary days, the first
Martin Halifax descended from a
long line of good English ancestry,
took advantage Of a feeble-m minded
girl. The result Of their indulgence
was feeble-minded son. This son
married normal woman. They in
turn produced five feeble-minded and
two normal children. Practically all
OF the descendants of these detectives
nave been traced as. we'll as those of
the two nOrmals.
From both normal and defective
descendants of this union came a long
line Of defective stock. There were
4SO in all. OF these SO were illegiti-
mate, 33 sexually immoral, "a con-
hrmed alcoholics and three epileptics.
E1ghty-two died in infancy, three
were criminal, eight kept houses of
Ill fame and 143 were distinctly
feeble-minded. Only 4S were found
who were apparently normal. The
rest are unknown or doubtful. But
the scion of the good family who
started this long line of delinquent
and defective progany is also re-
~%
different character.
After the Revolutionary war was
over, he married a Quaker girl of
good ancestry and settled down to
live respectable life after the tradt-
tons Of his fore-fathers. From this
legal union with normal woman
there have been 4s6 descendants. All
or these except two have been Of
normal mentality The EXCEPTIONS
were cases of insanity, presumably in
ner1ted through marriage with an
outside strain in which there was a
constitutional psychopathic tendency.
In all the 1916 there is not an instance
OF eeble-mindedness.
Inc offspring descended from this
side of the house have universally
occupied positions in the upper walks
Of life. They have never been GRIM
inals or ne'er-do-wells. On the other
hand, there has not been a single
instance Of exceptional ability among
the descendants of the first Martin
kallikak and the feeble-minded girl.
Most Of these descendants have failed
to rise above the dead level Of medi-
ocrity; indeed, most Of them have
fallen far below even this minimum

PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS

Illinois is we'll in the forefront of states which
have passed good laws for the health, safety and
comfort Of employees and for the prevention of oc
cupational diseases.
While the old method of fines is provided for in
these statutes the officials have determined to act
on the principle that it is better to lead than to
drive; accordingly school has been established in
Chicago for the education Of both employees and
employers in the principles and methods of the pre-
ventlon OF occupatonal diseases and accidents
The school is in charge of the state factory
inspector, whose duty it is under the law to see
that health and safety devices are adopted. Beside
laboratory for the study of the causes of industrial
accidents and diseases, there is chemical abora-
tory, model restroom, model emergency hospital
museum of pictures and exhibits showing safety
devices and drafting room for the preparation of
plans and specifications for machinery guards these
plans and specifications will be furnished free to
manufacturers
There is also free reference library of 1000
volumes on factory Inspection occupational diseases
and welfare work. The facilities and equipment
OF the school to be supplemented by lectures to
toremen, superintendent and staff physicians of
industrial plants and to social workers and others
regarding occupatonal diseases and hazardous
machinery.
On the teaching staff of the school is physician
who has made special study Of occupational dis
eases In this country and abroad, an engineer who
IS an expert in the guarding of hazardous machinery
and corps OF inspectors who are specializing in
the problems involved in their work.
Working men and women are also ENCOURAGED
to visit the school and receive instructions in the
way to protect themselves or to have examinations
made in case they believe they are suffering from
diseases due to their occupation in which case con-
ditions responsible for their troubles will be INQUIRED
into and corrected
The bulletins of the department of state factory
inspection will be issued from this school and dis
trlbuted to manufacturers, workers and Others Un-
der this plan the state factory Inspector instead
OF acting in the role Of policeman to compel COM
phance with the laws will act as an expert in an
advisory capacity.

sunhine and cloudy days. 1t retreats temporarily in

and grows periodically larger scale, embracing
trades and callings within it's sphere which could
not be reached years ago.
