PASTEUR RESEARCH
TO GIVE FLU CURE
Army Officer Tells of Results
at Centenary of Noted
Physician.

The centenary of Louis Pasteur. the
father of bacteriology, was observed
last night with dinner at the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History. The
museum, the Mineralogical Club, the
Academy OF Science and the Academy
OF Medicine cooperated in the affair.
Major John Nichols of the medical
department OF the army. a speaker, de-
clared that army bacterologists are
making progress toward the discovery
of vaccine for the treatment of in
fluenza largely through the foundation
work of Pasteur.
Other speakers who gave biographical
sketches of Pasteur and told of the
significance of his work included CASTOR

TEACHER CALLS ENERGY
GREAT NEED OF RACE
DR.. Baker Urges More Intel
IectuoI Effort.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec 27.-The
maintenance of the energy of the race
is the real task of civilization. Or.
Thomas S. Baker OF the Carnegie Insti-
tute Of Technology. Pittsburgh. said in
an address to-day at a sectional meet
ing of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science.
1.-THE energy OF the race can only be
conserved through new ideas, dis
coveries and the application of these
discoveries. Mankind will degenerate
unless there is a continuous flow of new
ideas from the brains nf great thinkers
10 fertiize and inspire the actions and
the lives of the unthinkiny masses.
I'VE often mistake restlessness for
energy. We may be making great dis
play of energy on enterprises that have
no permanent value. The rapid in
crease OF interest in sports and recrea-
tion is a natural corollary to the height
ened feverishness of oar age. If we be-
lieve that the conservation of mans
energy depends on high thinking he
should attach more Importance to re-
pose and contemplation than we do at
present.
I'VE have no assurance that our
civilization will be permanent But so
long as we believe that our culture and
our ideals of living ought to be con-
served. our chief means of testing our
success in maintaining them will be the
amount of energy and especially intel
lectual energy that is being produced"
Addressing the American Psychology
cal Association. DIR. Harry d. Kitson.
professor of psychology at Indiana
University said that a popular theory
that tall men and heavy men made the
best statesmen had been disproved by
scientific analysis of the earnings of 600
statesmen.

have the usual important papers. van
Maanen, who is recognized as an au-
thority in his line of work. has been
attempting TO measure the distances of
certain important celestial objects.
year ago the scientific world was
astonished to hear that the diameter
of the giant red star Betelgeuse in the
Constellation of Orion had Deen mea-
sured. Actually what had been meas
ured was not the diameter in miles but
the angle subtended by the diameter Of
the star at the surface OF the earth. In
order to translate this into miles it was
necessary to have the distance of the
star and this was only partly known
a that time.
Van Maanen shows that the star has
parallel OF only eleven thousandths
of a second or about three hundred ligh;
years. Mention is made also Of very
queer circumstance. The diameters OF
the few stars previously determined have
been remeasured and in all the cases
but Betelgeuse give the same value. II
appears that this star, however. has ac-
tually shrunk.
1t has been known for a long time
that this star was irregularly variable
and whether this apparent shrinkage. II
real and not the result of faulty instru-
ments, as related to the change of size
is not known as yet. As was remarked
at the meeting, "it will be necessary TO
continue our observations of this star
for several years or perhaps several
hundred before we can decide definitely
Orbit as Small as Earth's.
If this variation is real it means that
at times Betelgeuse has diameter ex-
ceeding that of the orbit of Mars and
at other times might shrink to as small
as the orbit of the earth.
DR.. Bridgman of Harvard dis
cussed the physical meaning of rela-
tivity. To the physicist matter is
only a form of electricity and as
the speed Of the particle changes we
would expect the electromagnetic mass
of the particle to vary also This is
possible In relativity. However. DR..
Bridgman predicted that possibly Elm
stein was not final and that as the
laws of Einstein were a correction to
Newton's law of gravity in the same
way we might have secondary correc-
ton to Einsten.
The values of the shift in the light of
the stars which win be obtained from

eclipse in Australia are yet not ready,

scientist said that he had seen the
plates and thought that the variation
was there. confirming Einsteis.

The stars of this type are so huge
that the system is probably not very
