THE GOAT or SCIENCE.
Humble Guinea Pig Plays Big Part
i'm Public Health.

An unhonored and unsung little
soldier in the cause OF science Is
the guinea pig.
Among the various industries the
municipality has undertaken for
the common good that OF guinea
pig farming would seem to rank as
the most curious. Seattle Is a guinea
pig farmer on a considerable scale.
There was time when the city
bought its guinea pigs in the open
market, but efficiency in civic af-
fairs has put stop 10 such waste
full practices. Occasionally in emer-
gencies IL is necessary TO 20 OUT
side for few guinea pigs. but that
is very seldom and the municipal
guinea pig herd al the present time
numbers about 700.
In their humble way these odd lit
tie animals play an important part
in the daily work OF preserving the
eity's health They are the Official
goats" for the chemists In the city's
ARCHAEOLOGICAL laboratories and at
the federal plague laboratory. which
the city helps 10 maintain.
In fact. the little guinea pig Is
one of the most fortunate Of all an
imals Since doctors have learned
that II Is subject to almost all the
ills that human flesh is heir to, life
for il is one long feast OF gerrns.
Personally, the guinea pig Is a
mostvattractive little creature of very
gentle manners, clean habits and a
friendly. sparkling eye. The guinea
pig IS strictly vegetarian, stays at
home and minds it's own business,
is kind 10 its family and always good
tempered. yet It's reward for good
behavior is the Inheritance Of all hui
man woes.
Because the blood of the little
cavy is so like human blood IL Is
ideal for the many meteorological
tests. Give the guinea pig a cold
germ and ii vii! promptly start 10
sneezing and coughing: give II too
much red liquor and IL will acquire
a ridiculous headache So good ma
tured is the guinea pig that Il VIII

FOREIGN SHIPS MUST CONFORM
To LAFOLLETTE SEAMAH's LAW

| WASHINGTON, March s.-For-
eign ships tomorrow will be placed
en- the footing of American ships as
respects personnel of crew. rights OF
individual seamen and safety appli-
| ances. The Lafollette seamen's bill
goes into effect as to American
ships.
The power of the United States To
refuse clearance papers to such YES
sells as do not conform to the require
ments of the law is ordered invoked
by the terms of the act effective to-
morrow. Enforcement is in the
hands of the Department of Com
MERGE Hereafter, foreign rs well
as American vessels must live up to
these requirements
No more passengers shall be car
red than can be accommodated by
the life-boats and life-rafts. Seven
ty-five per cent of the crew must be
able to understand the orders of the
officers. Forty per cent must be
able seamen-at least 10 years old
and with three years experience, ex-
cept as they are qualified by special
examination conducted by the De-
rartment Of Comeree.
A sailor may leave his shin in port
at will; and the provision of treaties
and other international agreements
that officers OF the United States
n ST aid in searching for him as a
deserter and returning him. to his
vessel is repealed He can collect,
however, but q fractional part OF his
wages if he quits this way.
Senator Lafollette, author of tho
bill, claims the result Of its going
into effect as to foreign vessels will
be to raise wages for seamen the
world over, and to remove the high
labor cost handicap of American
operators. Sailors shipped in Liver
pool, for instance at wage OF 81 2
to SIS a month will be within their
legal rights in quitting their ship I'm
New York and refusing to re-ship
except at the higher rate OF Ameri-
can wages. Already, says LaFollette
| the seamen's union is spreading this
| information among its men, and the
ship-owners are considering methods
Of fighting it.
The bill has been in effect as to
American ships since Nov. 4, 1915.
