Please name few of the important
medical and surgical discoveries made
under conditions growing out of the
conflict in Europe.
Several unveriied stories of remark
able operations along new lines have.
appeared but as yet the operations.
have not been described in medical
journals. Two Frenchmen, Drs. La
Chainche and Vallee, announced in
March, 1915, the discovery of a new
antitoxin called 'polyvalent," which
has been successfully used in military
hospitals. DR.. Alexis Carrel of the
Rockefeller institute and DR.. Henry
D. Dakin of the Lister institute have
discovered, after exhaustive expert
ments at the Compiegne military hos
pital, what they say is the ideal anti
septic. 1t is made by adding carbo-
nate of lime and boric acid to hypo-
chlorite of lime. The discovery has
been pronounced of great importance
by the Academy of Sciences at Paris.

What is meant by a buffer state?
What are the buffer states of Europe?
1t is a fgurative expression. In me-
chanics a buffer is something that
deadens the shock of a blow or the jar
of collision, sort Of fender. Hence
buffer state is one that lies between
two rival nations and helps to keep
them apart, while bearing the brunt Of
the war At the beginning of the
present war in Europe Belgium and
Luxembourg were called buffer states
because they lay in the path of the
German forces that were to invade
France. Generally little states have to
serve as buffers for big ones and suffer
the hardships of war without any of
the glory. Another use of the term of
recent origin is buffer zones" mean
ing a strip or zone on either side Of q
boundary line dividing two states
which strip or zone both agree to re-
gard as neutral.

Dear Madam-I have been shown in the.

they died to save. l pray that our heav-

cherished memory of the loved and lost

to have laid SO costly a sacrifice upon the

or protective tariff system?
The tariff system of the United
States is still almost. exclusively on a
protective basis, though the import
duties have been reduced and on some
articles previously taxed for protective
purpose, the duty has been removed.
A large proportion of the duties now
collected is on articles which come
in competition with products of home.
