GERM OF RAT BITE
Long Research In chiId's Rare Case
Brings About Discovery.

Long research IN Nnuu'S uaTe NA00
Brings About Discovery.
When a rat gnawed the finger of
Elmer Beaver, an eighteen-months-Old
child asleep in its home at Baltimore,
ten weeks ago, there began to develop
one of the most remarkable as well as
rare medical cases known In history.
1t has resulted in the isolation for the
first time in this country Of long
sought germ and in experiments to-
ward connecting a serum to combat
rat-bite fever. The child ia under
treatment at st. Agnes hospital He
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer
Beaver.
Medical annals until the develop
ment Of the Beaver case showed that
the world had known only l0Y cases Of
rat-hite fever. a sort Of venom0us In
lection that does not develop a mucus,
but ravages the blood and In most
cases kills. The case of baby Beaver
Is the one hundred and fourth.
Only after the child had been treated
by several medical experts was the
case properly diagnosed, as the par
ents were unaware Of the manner in
which the child had been infected.
DR.. N. v. Harper of Johns Hopkins
was the first to suspect the cause
Of the poisoning, and he immedi-
ately set about the isolation Of the
germ. This was accomplished on Au.

Nearly all seized German cargo craft
have been sold or chartered, with op-

With completion of the government
shipbuilding program by 1922, the Uni
ted States probably will have as much
ocean going tonnage as all the other
countries combined, with the exception
Of Great Britain, Chairman Benson OF
the shipping board declared in his an.
nual report.
AT the end OF the last fiscal year,
Admiral Benson said, American mer'
chant ships, government and private
owned, numbered 3,404, of 16,918,212
lightweight tons, not including more
than 100000 tons Of shipping on the
great lakes. The net program Of gov
eminent owned ships, he said, contem-
plated 2,315 vessels of 13,675,711 dead
weight tons, and at the end Of the
last fiscal year, 2,O70 ships aggregating
l1G22.361 deadweight tons, had been
completed.
During the year 1,1sO finished ships
of 6379,823 lightweight tons were de-
livered, exceeding all records. They
were built without overtime or other
aids to rapid production, Admiral Ben
son said.
U. S. shipyard Workers Best. '
"The shipyard worker of the United
States has developed an expertness
which has raised the efficiency of the
various crafts to high plane, and
production has kept pace accordingly"
Admiral Benson said. The industry
has expanded from $4,000 skilled me-
chanics to force of 1856, 900 men avail
able to the private shipyards, he said,
adding: "Credit for the accomplish
ment of the aims of the emergency
fleet corporation is therefore due to
these men, who have surpassed all
previous performances in the shipbuild-
ing of the world"
American vessels are now sailing in
900 separate services. They carried
42.3 per cent of the nations foreign
commerce last year, as compared with
81 per cent before the war, the report
said.
The following table shows the per-
centage of the nations shipping car
ried in American and foreign bottoms

NEW KIND OF TYPEWRITER

:. Percy Jones has a new disappear
ing typewriter in his office of the
Woodstock make.
Mr.. Jones got desk and all and the
machine is one of those very simple
efficient ones that is easily handled
and easily cleaned and kept celan.
He says it has about 500 fewer pieces
in 1t than the Underwood typewriter
and it looks to him like a new de-
parture in the typewriter field. He
is the distributing agent for them in
this territory and If they prove to
have great merits and come into big
demand, Mr.. Jones will profit by It.

of students In such schools as West
Point and Annapolis.
"There the young men live an ex-
tremely regular life with minimum
Of outside distr. ctions. Their recita-
tons are graded with great severity
and regularity, and given subject
often is taught six days In the week.
The marks are handed to the heads
Of the departments at frequent inter-
walls and posted where the students
can see them. No division has more
than ten or twelve, so that every stu
dent has full opportunity to show
how well he is prepared.
by charting the results It can be
seen that the curves of mental activ-
ity have two main maxima, In fall and
in spring. There is rise in mental
action. or better marks, from the open
ing of school until shortly after the
first of November. Then n fall is due,
but the thought of the approaching ex-
aminations inspires and urges on the
student so that the curve holds its
height until Christmas. Then comes
great fall. The curve declines until
the middle Of January, when grad
ual increase is noticed. The marks
continue to become better until the
second maximum is reached in the
latter part of March. As spring ar
rives the curve again declines and
continues to do SO the remainder of
the school term.
Best Work at g. Degrees
"The best temperature for greatest
efficiency of mental work is when the
temperature is around GA degrees.
From the above 1t can be seen that
the curves were low in midwinter.
From the middle Of January on there
is a gradual rise until near April.
The fall Of the efficiency curve begins
when the average temperature has
risen to about 68 degrees. On the 9TH
er hand, when the temperature falls
below 48 degrees the work naturally
turns downward.
Mental work resembles physical,
but with interesting differences. When
the temperature falls greatly, mental
work seems to suffer more than phys
ical, and declines as much as when
there is no change. 1t receives lit
tie stimulus from a slight warming Of
the air, but appears to be adversely
affected when the air becomes warm
rapidly. Students belong to a race
which has never learned to endure
sudden heat. Hence they feel it
strongly. A drop of temperature
amounting to eight degrees or more
will appear more stimulating than
now seems to be the case, and a rapid
rise will not seem so harmful.
'The amount of moisture in the air
also affects the mental behavior of the
students. Too much moisture is the
same as too high temperature, and
efficient studying is impossible. If
the temperature could be kept around
"a degrees, and the proper amount Of
moisture could be- maintained, better
marks could be obtained by all. But
the sudden drop in midwinter has It's
effects and lower marks are q re-
suit" d"

AUTOMOBILE BURNED

A fine Coles eight roadster car was
burned Sunday night by the road
side four miles below Blackfoot on
the Pocatello road.
The indications are that the car
was the victim Of foul play of some
kind. Everything from the engine
back was burned, the engine was
only slightly damaged. The theory
that the engine got hot does not
hold good, and other theories are
being investigated. The car be-
longed at Idaho Falls and bore the
license plate number 1870 Idaho.
