Oriqin of Eiavors

Among the most remarkable
glimpses into hidden corners of ma
ture that scientific advance has af-
forded are the frequent discoveries Of
micro organisms in unexpected
places where they produce phenomena
heretofore supposed to arise from
other causes. For instance, a scien-
fist in Upsala, Sweden, ascertafped
that in preparations of meat and fish
containing, for the purpose of preser-
walton, salt to the amount of IS per
cont. micro organisms grow luxuri-
antly, and he concludes that the fia-
vors and doors that are peculiar to
various salt conserves are due to the
micro organisms with which they are
crowded.

Renews Fight On
Railway Commission
tBy Associated Press Leased wire)

Madison, Wis. The repetition re-
Gently Of an attack made two years
ago on the railroad commission by
Frank Boyce, bond salesman whose
activities came under scrutiny by the
securities division of the commission
will result in no action by that body,
Judge A. H. Long, attorney for the
commission, announced today.
Boyce, a fugitive from justice in
Wisconsin, with a charge Of violating
the state blue. sky law still lodged
against him, Saturday sent the rail-
road commission copy of his book
attacking its actions. The book is a
reprint Of an extensive criticism sent
to legislators two years ago, and urges
abolition of the state department.
The securities division of the rail-
road commission two years ago de-
MED Boyce the right to sell securities
in Wisconsin. This caused him to
make his attack on that body. He
was then arrested in Chicago for vi
olating the state blue sky law, but OBJ
tanned a release and has since evaded
apprehension.
Judge Long said that until the man
returned to Wisconsin the commission
would make no effort to arrest him.
