that 1 am only guilty OF indiscretion.
My relations with the police depart

most pleasant, and this Is the first
occasion where my conduct as an Of

that I overstepped the bounds. They
do not, however. agree that did any
thing which could be construed other
than lack Of Judgment. Consequently
think the verdict unjust and for that
reason 1 will oppose it."

GERMS IN TELEPHONES
Do Not Stick Your Mouth in Trans
,nitter When Talking.

Lawrence. Kan, June Height
different kinds of germs, two OF theri
very dangerous, were found on tele-
phone receivers in LeaVenworth, Kan
sas, and Lawrence in an invest CATION
made by Miss Minnie f. Moody IN
class work she is doing as ''tudens
in the University of Kansas Miss
Moody swa bbed out the receiver or a
telephone in a Leavenworth drug sore
glass tube containing several teaspoons
of beef broth. She did the same thing
with a telephone in a Lawrence drug
store and with a public telephone IN
one of the main buildings Of the uni
versity The cotton swabs, broth anG
tubes use were sterile, so all the germs
developed are known to have come
from the telephone receivers.
From each tube a drop of brotc
was taken. These were incubated
twenty-four hours. At the end of that
drop injected from the university tel
ephone; $50 germs from the Lawrence
drug store telephone, and 430 from thu
Leavenworth telephone
Among five practically harmless
types of bacteria on the university
telephone receiver tuberculosis and
catarrhal germs were definitely de
fined, while on the LeaVenWorth drug
store telephone receiver diphtheri@
was found. Neither tuberculosis nor
diphtheria germs were found on the
Lawrence drug store telephone. The
drug store telephones carried more
germs because they were exposed,
while the university telephone was in
a booth. In her class report OF her
investigation MISS Moody suggested
sterilizinS of telephone receivers.
