war Of Science on Diseases.

OF the diseases of men and animals
known to be infectious, DIR. Walter F..
King counts up 80 having organisms
not yet discovered that are believed to
be SO small as to pass through the cus-
tomary filters. These include chicken
pox. rabies, dengue fever. smallpox,
trachOma, measles, pOliomyelitIs,
scarlet fever, typhus and humps. and
yellow fever was in the list until Doc
tor Noguchi's recent discovery of the
organism. AS in the case Of tnbercu
losls, knowledge of the organism does
not always bring direct remedy. On
the other hand, steps toward eradicat-
ing yellow fever, through the desiruc-
ton Of the germ-carrying mosquito,
were made possible while the disease
organism was still unknown.

RULER HAD PRACTICAL MIND
Like Our Own Politicians, Sultan Pre-.
fsrrsd Any Eventuaiity to
Being Forgotten.

At Trengganu (Alalny PenInsula)
the native sultan welcomed me and
spent several days with him, telling
him what was happening In the world
and discussing his problems. The
problems were largely financial. He
owed some money. and. knowing that
he had something In the treasury. /
asked why he did not pay his debts.
He thought for time and then re-
piled: well. I'll tell you. II pay
those people, they will forget about
the sultan Of Trengganu. II l don't
pay them. they'll never forget me-"
The conversation turned to the sub.
tect OF prisoners. On my way to the
palace had passed the cages where
the prisoners were kept. Many Of
them were starving to death, for un-
less their friends or family cared for
them they got no food.

Original GAloshes.

The fashionable galoshes that are
now Tapping about the ankles of
pretty girls were first Introduced In
America about 1880 In Boston. The
gnlosIles or boots were as ugly and
clumsy as they are today. but We're
even more popular. They required
peculiar care as the manufacturers
had little knowledge Of the use of
rubber gum. In winter they frOze
hard and stiff. and had to be thnwed
out before they could be worn, and
care had to he taken not to thnw
them too well. or they would run into
a sticky mass. In the summer they
got sticky and shapeless unless kept
on Ice and taken out during rain
