Professor A. J. Carlson, of the
University of Chicago Medical
School, has recently undertaken %
discover just how the body can send
a message to the stomach when
food is needed. DR.. Carlson and his
students found that when they took
some blood from a hungry dog and
injected it into a dog that had Just
been fed, the satisfied animal began
to show signs of hunger, Just as
though he had not eaten for several
hours. After a number of these ex-
periments. DR.. Carlson concluded
that when the body needs food. 1t
manufactures some sort OF chemical
substance which is circulated in the
blood. When this substance, called
the hunger engine. touches the
stomach nerves, or perhaps the walls
of the stomach itself, c~ontractions
begin. Thus nature has provided a
master which the human race will
always obey; a master, nevertheless,
who times his commands exactly
according to the needs Of his sub
jects for sustenance.

SUPERVISING NEW DEVELOPMENT.

With the change in ownership of the large tract of land in the
northwestern part of the city formerly owned by the Henry Maurer
estate, care should be taken that it is properly developed. The
new owners may think that this is solely their own affair, but it is
not.
The need of proper supervision in the development of any
tract OF land lying within the city limits was never more clearly
shown than during the past summer when travellers on Amboy
avenue were forced to detour through certain sections of what is
commonly called Budapest This section was developed at diff
fcrent times by different real estate operators whose main object
was TO get as many building lots out of the tract as possible. ThC
result was, they laid out streets in any old way, beginning nowherc
and ending nowhere, so that to travel through that section is like
finding ones way out of a mystic maze at a summer resort.
AT the time this section was developed little attention was
paid to it, and the owners of the land were permitted to do about
as they pleased, as f. it was nobody elses business. We have learn
ed during the past summer that the laying out of streets is the pub
lies business and there should be some system and order in the
development for the benefit Of the generations that are to come.
Streets should be laid out so as to mean something regardless
of whether the plan means more building lots or not. Now is the
time to see that the mistake made in the Budapest section is
avoided in this new development. Maps of the new tract as pre-
pared for development should be carefully examined by the au.
thorities, and no streets accepted that do not conform to the general
plan of the city. Here, again, the City Plan Commission with its
expert advise can be used to advantage. All future development
in the city should be done with an eye to the future rather than
solely for the benefit of a few real estate spectators.

AN EXAMPLE TO ALL EUROPE.

The fifth anniversary recently of the peaceful and inauspcious
establishment at Prague for the Czechoslova Republic still found
this new small nation the most useful of the positive accomplish
ments of the World War. What is more, the fifth anniversary of
the birth of this new nation in Europe found the nation an actual
isle of safety functioning perfectly. The Republic of the Czecho-
sicvaks has become an influence for peace and economic stability
and normality in troubled continental Europe and unlike the ma
Jority of its near neighbors is enjoying comparative prosperity and
national and international peace.
Let it not be supposed that this little haven of peace, pros
nerity and busy thrift just happened nor that it was a result
solely of the war. The Czechosovak national movement was
launched a century ago. The World War only provided the op-
nOrtunity for right to conquer dissipated might. Neither s. it to be
supposed that this European republic is the elimination of a GEN.
inry of patriotic propaganda and organization or of open revolt
against the ruling power. Quite to the contrary, it isl the fruits Of
Il century of education, loyalty and world competition in com
nacrce and industry. The elsie of safety of the Czechoslovaks
ms already heen of unreasonable service to the world and credit
Tor the establishment of the ''sle' still rests with the Czecho-
sioyaks before and after it is finally decided "who won the war"

This offer was received by three rousing cheers from the Scents, and will no doubt result ln keen competition among them.
