EXPERIMENTS WITH WHITE RATS

Philadelphians were perturbed re-
Gently over the publication of the re-
suits of a series of experiments with
white rats which are being made by
Helen Dean King at the Wistar In
stitute of Anatomy and Biology of
the University of Pennsylvania.
Shorn of it's sensationalism and
half truths, the story of the expert
ments with white rats now going on
at the institute is still interesting. By
means of careful selection and mating
of brother and sister rats from the
same filters. which is the closest form
of inbreeding possible" there is being
developed a race bigger, heavier and
better in every way than the ordinary
rat.
And says Doctor King, "theo-

Rare Example of Realism.

A certain fiction writer applied to a
friend, an inferno in hospital, for
some local color for a tale he had
based upon an occurrence in such an
institution.
The inferno couldn't think of any
thing of moment but the writer logged
his memory thus:
Surely, you know of some realistic
bit here that | could use'
II have it," suddenly exclaimed the
inferno.
Eyes" eagerly came from the writer.
Here is realism with vengeance"
said the youthful inferno. "One of our
patients walked in his sleep because
he dreamed he had no carfare."

The philosopher is born, and not

juvenile philosopher was discovered
the other day, when the news arrived
at certain house that the head of

small boy thought to inquire: Where
abouts is dad wounded?"

Sailors Memorial

II was thinking of the folks at home
and what Memorial day means to
them," said Stephen r. Whitney when
asked what prompted him TO build and
launch eleven years ago on the Poto-
mac river a boat loaded with flowers
in memory of the men of the United
States navy killed at sea-
'By the folks at home I mean those
wives, mothers, fathers and sweet
hearts who waited in vain for the
homecoming of their beloved sailor
boys. They have never had the conso
lation of placing wreath of flowers
on the grave where rests all that is
near and dear to them.
: The homecoming of a soldier. even
though he was but bullet ridden, life
less clay, was some consolation to
those who waited for that homecom-
ing. The fact that the dear one was
buried with love and honor was some
thing, and the assurance that the spot
where he rests will never be forgotten.
that loving hands. prompted by CRATE
full hearts, will strew flowers over his
grave on each succeeding Memorial
day in a measure brings consolation.
"But what of those who waited in
grief stricken suspense for the sailor
boys who never returned? All that
they ever knew was through a brief
message from the navy department,
telling them that their dear ones fought
bravely to the last: then, quietly and
unafraid, they went down beneath the
waves which We're crimsoned by their
life blood.
"In my own home town nearly every
home contains some token of their
soldier dead, but sthe faded letter
from the navy department is all that
the home folks of the sailor dead have
to commemorate the fact that their
heroes went down with the ship. 1t
is for these that / built and launched
the first flower laden boat"
