UNITED STATES AND SCIENCE
Activities Of Entire World centered
on This Country and Interest
Expected to Continue.

"Very few people realize that the
scientific activities Of the world are
centering in the United States, and
that they will doubtless continue to
do SO IL material means be given to
keep up the work." said Father Charles
B. Moulinier. regent Of the Marquette
university school Of medicine. in a re-
cent interview in the Marquette Trib-
une.
South America, for instance, Is now
looking to us for scientific leadership
China and Japan are once more turn
ing to us. Great attention Is being
Buenos Aires alone having a medical
school with 5000 students.
"The Wistar institute of anatomy, in
Philadelphia, Is one Of the most de-
cisive factors in turning the attention
of the scientific world to the United
States. This institute has an endow.
ment which makes it possible to give
large service to mankind. Just now II
is printing copious translated extracts
from the medical journals published
and sending them to China and japan.
Duplicates of the Journals are also
sent to South America.
"a great deal Of research work IA
being done by this school In the direc
ton Of discovering dyes. Certain
chemical dyes, formerly produced only
by Gruebler of Germany, are required
in technical work. Wistar is now pro
Gucing dyes the equal Of Gruebler's.
ut may be interesting to know that
much Of this research work has been
done by young Philadelphian who
delved into chemistry for his own
pleasure and experimental in his pri.
vate laboratory. Wistar hearing OF
some remarkable discoveries made by
him Immediately called him to the in.
stitute, placing its facilities at his dis
posal for this important work.

Food Administrator Hoover's order
that the people abstain from the use
Of wheat until the new crop is avail
able in order that We may furnish the
required amount for export is being
complied with in good grace by our
patriotic citizens, but bis policy to fix
the price of substitutes can not be in-s
aug1rated too soon. When corn,
worth about two and one half cents q
pound, is ground into flour and the
product sold to the consumer at eleven
cents per pound it is evident that
there is some rotten proiteering some
where along the line, and the con-
sumers are entitled to relief. The

The report reached here last Mon
day morning that the Catholic church
at Lesterville was burned Sunday
night. The building cost $1,000 when
it was built, and it would require
about SIP. 600 to replace it at pres
ent. It 10 generally supposed that
the fire was incendiary, but so far as
we have learned there is no clue az to
the guilty parties. Bloodhounds were
put on the track MoEday but could
follow the trail only short distance
to highway where the parties evil
IDENTIFY got into an auto and escaped.
An unfortunate condition prevails at
Lesterville, the citizens being divided
into two factions the differences being
over war issues. One faction accuses
the other of being pro- German, a
charge that doubtless has some foun-
dation, but it is quite evident that
the charges have been too sweeping,
and many good loyal citizens have
been accused. The disposition on both
sides to take the law into their own
hands is bound to result in social de-
moralization, and a severe penalty
hangs over the heads of the guilty
parties if their identity is established.

Every consumer Of coal in the

Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the
Shipping Board today.
No one who has the interests Of his
country at heart, no one who wishes
to-see the submarine pirates swept
from the sea, and the Prussian hordes
beaten back from the countries they
have devastated, will refuse or neg
lect to do everything in his power to
accomplish those objects. One Of the
most effec tive ways in which the citi-
zens of this country can help to win
the war. is by ordering their coal
now, 30 that the railroads may be free
next fall and winter to give their ex-
elusive attention to hauling the muni.
tioas and supplies to the ports to be
loaded into the ships that will carry
them to the boys at the front.

INSTALLING NEW ELECTRIC
BURGLAR ALALRM SYSTEM

The First Natl. Bank of this city
is installing a new electric burglar
alarm system in their banking house
The old system is out of date and
has served it purpose. With the
new system it will be impossible for
burglars to enter the bank without
the alarm being sounded. The me-
chanism is placed on the inside of
the vault, but two 10-inch gongs. are
placed outside of the vault and a
20-inch gong is placed on the out
side of the building which are brot
into operation as soon as any part of
the vault is molested with burglar
tools.
It will be impossible for burg
lar to enter the bank building either
through the floor, walls or roof
without disturbing the alarm system.
The officials of the bank are taking
this necessary precautiop to pro-
tect the depositors of the bank.
With so many bonds and other Sc
curities deposited in the vault by
investors, the officers of the bank
thought IL best TO furnish this extra
protection. II is quite probable that
a public demonstration will be given
of this system when it is properly
installed
