The potentialities of this organization
are tremendous. 1t is ready to set its
army of scientists and trained experts

The commission now on its way to
Europe is to study particularly what

Recognized as Worthy Service.
Scientific and industrial preparedness
are recognized today as every bit as
worthy service as military prepared
ness Recent developments in warfare
have revolutionized these fields For
example. conditions of trench warfare
have demanded unusual sanitation
measures and caused a demand for dis
infectants and germicides never before
required.
Modern explosives and the use of poi
sonous gases have necessitated new
methods in medicine and surgery. Aero
planes with their peculiar offensive
equipment have brought into use diff
ferent types of metals and alloys from
those already in use.
DR.. Ames. who heads the commission,
is recognized as an authority on aero
planes and during the last year has
been actively engaged in the work of
the national advisory commission on
aeronautics. Through his activities as
treasurer Of the American Physical
Society. member of the National Acad-
envy of Sciences. editor of several jour
nails and his work as physicist at Johns
Hopkins University and several visits
TO France and England. he has already
esta blished close relations with leading
scientists in those countries.

Chief Justice Marshall, where he said

vate. his artless character and his uni
formly amiable and transformations de-
pertinent. both in his public and pri-

Compels Respect of Associates.

From the first. Mr.. Chief Justice,
You compelled and received our re-
spect." said Justice Robb. for, notwith-
standing that you then had served
many years on this bench and were
familiar with the ins and outs of prac-
tice-including the then, to US. awful
mysteries of the patent practice-you
were as patient. modest and consider
ate as though you had been our junior
in years and experience. and such has
been your attitude throughout The
result has been that you not only
have held our respect, but you have
gained our affection. No one who has
not occupied similar position can
fully appreciate its burdens and ankle
ties, and set you have been ever
cheerful. courteous. helpful and kind.
While your presence on the bench
and in the consultation room will be
greatly missed. We would be more than
selfish did we not rejoice with you be-
cause of the change that is at hand
We rejoice that you will now be free

Completed and filed with the interstate
commerce commission. an clghty-one-
mage brief in what is known as the
Southwestern class case, The federal
commission recently made an invcsti-
sztion into class or distributing rates
on freight in less than carload lots be
.wsen Texas and Oklahoma,
Objections Made.
In the brief, objection is made 10 the
application Of the schedule of tariffs
and notifications are sought before the
report Of the commission Is made final,
The railroads propose adoption OF the
,ame tariff approved by. the interstate
commerce commission Tor %shipnenl,
between points in Texas, the applica-
ton OF which from Oklahoma City 10
rexa. would result IN heavy increases
In rates.

Report Important,
The final report OF the commission IS
If great importance to- the future OF
Oklahoma City and other cities OF the

hsndicapping the growth OF interior
cities. II is probable that an argument
in the near future will be held before

Local organizations will probably be
