The selection of Nelson Price
Whitaker, of Wheeling, as the third
member Of the state road commits
sion will bring to that important
body a man Of the highest integ-
rity and of unrivaled business ca
pacity. Huntington greatly desired
the privilege of furnishing a mem
Der of the commission. 1t was be-
lieved that for various consistent
and substantial reasons Cabell coun
ty and southern West Virginia
should have representation on the
board Nevertheless, since the full
fillment OF this desire was inhibited
the selection of Mr.. Whitaker will
prove entirely satisfactory to the
people of southern West Virginia.
Service, fairness, after all, are the
main things involved. The Herald
Dispatch believes Mr.. Whitaker will
stand with the other members Of
the commission in guaranteeing alb
solute fairness, and in seeing that
the affairs of the commission are
administered on the highest plane

War Of Science on Diseases.

OF the diseases of men and animals
known to be infectious, DR.. Walter f.
King counts up 80 having organisms
not yet discovered that are believed to
be so small as to pass through the Gus
tomary filters. These include chicken
pox, rabies, dengue fever, smallpox,
trachoma, measles, ~poliomyelitis,
scarlet fever, typhus and mumps, and
yellow fever was in the list until Doc
tor Noguchi's recent discovery of the
organism. AS in the case of tubercu-
iosis, knowledge of the organism does
not always bring a direct remedy. On
the other hand, steps toward eradicat-
ing yellow fever, through the destruc-
zion of the s~erm-carrying mosquito.
were made possible while the disease
organism was still unknown.

in an intoxicated condition.

10 cope Win age ana En-
perience.
Kansas City University sent
to Lexington Friday a pret-
ty nifty bunch of football play
ers. In fact, they were all men,
and good men at that. Every
man on the team seemed to
have had lots of experience, too,
which made them tough prop
osition for their lighter and
more youthful opponents, the
Wentworth cadets.
The collegians essayed to
make the trip in cars and spent
a great part of the day getting
here. The game was not called
until 1850, and only 10-minute
quarters were played.
The first quarter was any
body's game; neither side scor-
ed and both teams showed up
equally well. The cadets were
slowed up some by poor passing,
otherwise they looked mighty
good.
In the second quarter the vis-
tors scored a touchdown and
kicked goal. This was made
possible through long end runs.
and showed up some attempts
at tackling that were not up to
Wentworth standard. The ca
diets were also circling the ends,
and Bradfield and Taubman
did some pretty sprinting for
long gains. 1t is thought that
they would have scored in this
quarter but for an error in judg-
ment when having only a few
feet to gain on the fourth down
Score Z to 0.
The third and fourth quarter:
were repetitons of the second
in that the visitors scored q
touchdown in each quarter anc
kicked goal. The game ended ir
semi-darkness with the score
q to 0 in favor of the visitors
The cadet team is light anc
inexperienced, but fast, and un.
less hampered by injuries

classy team before many more
weeks have passed. Their de
feat Friday will do them nj
harm. The boys had a taste Of
the real thing which will go 4
long way in putting them in the
right frame of mind for future
games.
