Two Medical Discoveries

All the reports of the papers read by
DR.. Simon Flexner and DR.. S. j. Meltzer
at Wednesdays session Of the National
Academy Of Sciences are either too vague
or too confusing to convey any clear con-
ception Of the two discoveries of world
wide Importance" proclaimed in the dis
patches from Philadelphia.
What DR.. Fexner impaired was evident
ly the result of some experimental work
undertaken with view to securing an
arsenical compound similar to salvarsan,
and, as far as can be gathered, the inquiry
conducted by Investigators at the Rookie
Teller Institute under his direction was
abundantly successful. Thus the substi-
tute, it appears, while Independently su-
perior to Ehrlichs products, is far less
toxic, besides being vastly cheaper
DR.. Flexner is made to say that 1.-The
principle of the American product is to-
tally different from salvarsan,' but as this
point is not elaborated it is impossible to
determine what the difference of principle
is. As to all the talk about triumph
over the scientists of Germany" we must,
of course, take that as a mere rhetorical
flight on the part of the reporter. No one
can triumph over" the great work of
Ehrlich in a matter that is, after all,
hardly equivalent to a contest in the de-
velopment of poison gases.
The other discovery has to do with
tetanus, but here, too, it is hard to tell
what has been done. There were some
lantern slides of dogs showing the remark
able effects of the treatment, but the re-
porter who, on the strength of these illus
trations, halls Epson salt as "a new boon
to medicine" does not seem to have got
quite to the bottom of the business. Be
sides, it is some years now since mag
nesium sulphate was first used in the
treatment of tetanus, and it, as we are
told, Dr. Meltzer amazed the gathering
of scientists" it was not because they
learned Of this for the first time.

A Ban on Beer

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t has been suggested that the REFUSAL
of coal to non-essential industries might help
toward the SECURING of farm labor, when Is
a perplexing question with many at this tme'
The manufacture of artificial ice has oeen
suggested as an industry that should be pro
scrbed as to coal. But how about the manu-
facture of beer, that requires not only eoal
but ice TO preserve the beer? Then again.
considering that in the making Of beer other
articles are consumed, which we are asked 70
conserve and use economically, viz, sugar.
rice, barley and corn, why not at once p.'
under the ban this non-essential product y
is certainly, to say the least, non-essenus''
Thousands of people do without it entfe'''
If our Board Of Health is 10 be recognized as
a valid authority in the matter, there S,s
thousands who now use beer daily VINO "oulu

discontinued.
In view of all this, why should not al! or.s
cries be closed during the duration OF Wv
war? EpWAhp a. raN

American Education

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | am glad to note that the Board Of
Education is looking up all dsloyal and
semi-dsloyal teachers. This should have
been done long ago. Our schools have been
for years extremely lax and lukewarm in
the teaching of patriotism. We have more
than 10000 teachers in this city. From hear
say and observation | an confident that from
the standpoint of Americanism there are
more than 1000 of them who ought TO be ex-
particularly bad in the high schools, where
investigation should range from the top TO
the bottom Under the present law it will
be extremely difficult to prove it on" some
of the worst cases. The solution is loosen
ing up of the tenure of office law.
Our schools should be made American
through and through They should become
most efficient means in large, general
movement for the indignation of our people.
Loyal Americans of all sorts and kinds should
join in a movement to cleanse the school
system not only of pro-German traitors, but
all ukewarm and inefficient teachers.
II this war has proved anything it has
demonstrated beyond argument the enormous
Importance of national education.
Every American should uphold in every
way the present school authorities in their
efforts to see to it that American children
are given an American education.

ahead when the lawyers get to arguing.
Under the existing law, however, nothing
else remains to be done. The joint confer
ence committee, acting according to the
statute, prepared its plan, which was an
nounced by its members to be great I'M
provement over the plan on which the
Board of Estimate and the railroad COM
pany after months Of negotiation had
reached a practical agreement, but which
was killed when the Legislature injected
itself into the situation. This latest plan
the railroad company rejected out of hand,
announcing that it would enter into no ne
gotiations under the Observation-Disclosures
law. The committee now must make
good: the Public Service Commission must
make plans for the improvement and COM
pei the company to carry out the work
within two years. There is where litiga-
ton will begin.
If the committee is blufing about the re-
peal of the ordinance Of 1S47, it will prob
ABLY find the railroad lawyers prepared to
call the bluff. 1t will certainly find them
prepared to fight any track changes the
Public Service Commission may undertake
to make by force of that unfortunate law.
Mayor Mitchell and his colleagues had
brought to the point of contamination an
advantageous solution of the West Side
problem, which would have. abolished sur
face tracks, permitted great terminal i'm
provement inevitably affecting the cost of
living and would not have permanently i'm
paired the value of Riverside Park. 1t
was scrapped, owing to the exigencies of
politics and the clamor of local groups of
special interests. The public now receives
as a substitute the prospect Of no improve
ment for years-truly a great advance!

More Delay and More Deaths

What the joint conference committee Of
the Board of Estimate and the Public
Service Commission charged with a solu-
ton of the West Side track problem is en-
deavoring TO do in recommending a re-
peal of the ordinance of 1847 granting the
use of certain streets and avenues to the
railroad company is to swing a club on
that corporation. The committee evident
ly thinks that, confronted with the pros
rect of having its access to New YORK
City shut off, the company will promptly
capitulate and accept the track removal
plan which it recently summarily re-
jected.
What the committee actually is doing is
quite another matter 1t is merely max
ing certain a long period of litigation
which may or may not "reestablish public
rights" and clear the way for track re-
moval, but assuredly will delay track re-
several years. AS TO the reestablishment
Of public rights, there is great doubt if
by that phrase the committee meant the
voidance of the rights the railroad COM
pany now claims. There has always ex-
listed the widest divergence of opinion
about the franchise rights of the company,
but practically all plans for betterment of
the West Side situation and the abolish
ment of Death Avenue have been based on
the assumption that they were in per-
petuity Years ago Corporation Counsel
Rives held that they might be terminated
by appropriate legal process; Corporation
Counsel Delany told Mayor Mcclellan they
might not be terminated. Judge Herrick
reported that the rights constituted per-
petua franchise. A minority dissenting
opinion in the Appellate Division, when his
ruling was tested in the courts, agreed that
# any action to end the franchise were TO
he taken it would have TO be by the state
that is, by the Legislature-rather than by
the city fathers. Even the Public Service
Commission, in memorandum submitted
TO the Governor concerning the Lockwood
Ellenbogen bill, declared "the present
rights and privileges Of the company arc
virtually in perpetuity.'
All this merely goes TO show what lies

Let Them Smoke 1t Up

From The Philadelphia Ledger
Judging from the funds that are being col
lected and the enthusiasm at the various
meetings, none of those who really wish to
help the soldiers are paying much attention
TO priggsh doctrinairism, which would ban
cigarettes and tobacco generally. The medi-
cal specialists have, by huge majority, testi-
fed to the lack Of harm that the cigarette
Ii slows on those at work in the open air in
the trenches. The increased and very vigor-
our metabolism, as the sum total Of the func-
tional activities of the body is termed due TO
the severe open-ar regimen, aside from any
attitude Of mind which comes from social or
physical suggestion. as it were, calls for some
such slight sedative as is furnished by a good
smoke. There is no argument against il from
the point OF view Of health and the objec-
tions which have been raised are so artificial
so anti-human. that it is TO be hoped none
who can will deny the men who are fighting
for US this little crumb of comfort or course
those who know something of primary psy-
chology also know that il isn't the tobacco
as the weed that cheers without toxic menace
which does the trick so much az it is the
calming effect that comes from association OF
ideas that n smoke evokes as to the Comforts
OF civilian life. IL would seem as il il were
only necessary to state this TO have n univer-
sal response, therefore, in favor Of letting the
boys smoke IL up.

British. Not English
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; 1t seems pity that the otherwise
interesting articles on "The North Sea-"
Icy Gherard Davis, should be spoiled by that
writer's improper use Of the word English -
where British" should have been used in
his papers. telling of the work of the British
navy While the same error is made BY many
other writers and speakers, the fault is not
so common as it was formerly, and it is
surprising that Mr.. Davis should make il.
If one were to substitute the words "Scots
navy" where Mr. Davis uses the term ENG
lish navy one would quickly realize how
ridiculous the use of the word English"
where British" Is meant appears to those Of
Scottish birth. JUSTICE.

Why Waste a Thought
Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring to "A Knitter in Doubt"
ir your issue of the Goth, why waste a
thought on Mr. Daniels's idle effort to be
facetious regarding the necessity of our con-
tinuing to knit? Is there no one besides
our pretty well supplied soldiers and sailors
who is suffering for warm apparel? What
about the fighting men OF our allies and the
workers behind the lines? II every one will
do some Independent thinking about the sit
uation on the other side, there will be more
rather than fewer knitters.

LINES TO A DEPARTED DOG


The Citrate says you have no soul;
] kno7c that he has none. But YOU,
Dear friend whose sober self-control
In our familiar four-square pew
Was pattern 10 my youth; whose bark
Called me, at summer dawns to rove
Have YOU gone down into the dark?
! will not think those good brown eyes
Have lost their light of truth so soon;
But, in some canine Paradise,
Your wrath, Pm sure, rebukes the moon,
And quarters every plain and hill,
Seeking his master. As for me,
This prayer, at least the gods fulfil:
That when pass the food, and see
Old Charon, on the Stygian coast,
Take toll from all the wraiths who land,
YOUR little. faithful, barking ghost
May leap to lick my phantom hand.

A Chance for Americans at Home

1t is a pleasure to hand on to our read
ers the following letter:
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There are two men in this camp
who never receive a letter from any one III
America, and when they see the other boys
receive their mail they certainly look very
sad, although they never say very much
They have both been to France and been
wounded. Corpl. --- has been out there
for twelve months and been wounded twice.
1, Cpl. -- has been out there sixteen
months and has been wounded once and re-
turned sick once. Corpl. ---- expects TO
return very shortly, and I know that he
would like TO have some one to write 20
while out there, as it is certainly very try
ing not to have some one to think OF and
TO write TO once in a while. /. Cpl. ---
expects to return within very short time
also.
Now then. if there are any of your kind
readers who wish TO avail themselves OF
this opportunity to do two very NICE young
men a good turn. | feel sure they VIII
greatly appreciate it, If you were 70 insert
a small advertisement in your grand old
paper | am certain that some of your read
ers would avail themselves Of this grand
chance
Now hoping that you will see your way
clear to do these boys this turn. They arc
both thoroughbred Americans. The Corpi-
was born in North Carolina and the L. Copi.
was born in Maryland. SO you see they are
both deserving of the kindness Of the Amer
lean people. They both enlisted in the first
lot of Canadians who went overseas.
Thanking You in advance, remain yours
for success,
