upon which babies thrive. Billions of them are taken into your system every day. Without them you could not live. just as with predominance of some of them you will surely will die.
 In the human system there are vast armies of these infnitesimal living things. One of the most interesting statements ever written about them was by Sir
 Arthur Keith, the eminent British sci- enlist. In his book, "The Engines of the Human Body," Sir Arthur refers to "the immense and movable armies of micro scopic corpuscles in the human body, which can be mobilized for military, police or sanitary duty. They fairly swarm in the blood stream as it circu- lates around the body. It is extremely probable that one variety of them, if not more, are really messengers or couriers; and that certain gland masses, which are built up around lymph channels, serve both as nurseries for the upbringing of such messengers, and also as offices from which they are dispatched on errands.''
 Many of these help in the battle against the death-dealing specimens. But their attacks against the "armor-plated" ones has been as futile in the past as have all the efforts of the scientists
 While much is expected of the discov- cry of Professor Dreyer, it will have to be tested out, through a long series of experiments before definite announce ment can be made as to just how com plete and effective it will be as a new treatment of diseases

 The basis of his method is an injection into the pa tient, first, of fornalin, and then of acetone. These two substances, entering the blood stream, seem to destroy the protective cov- erings of the microbes and render them an easier prey to the white corpuscles, without in any way injur- ing the health of the pa- tient.

It is a remarkable fact, however, that seldom are they of artistic design or pattern. They Fare as ugly in appearance as they are in their actions.
 While this newest problem of science is being worked out, it is interesting to note some facts about bacteria. Because of the bad reputation that microbes in general bear, every known speci- men is universally condemned in the public mind. But not all of them deserve this condemnation.

the white corpuscle is in getting through this "armor" Its fighting method is to engulf or surround the germ, and then slowly digest it. When the corpuscle fails to do this, the germ kills the corpuscle.
 Many other diseases are caused by the remarkable, armor protected bacteria. Among them are pneumonia, typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery and anthrax.
 These armor protected germs are among the lowest forms of separate living creatures, and among the tiniest. They vary in size from one-25, booth of an inch to ten times that size. They are of vari-

 MI plate" and "projectiles" that will pierce this "armor-plate'' are the amazing subjects that are engrOss- ing scientists to-day.
 Ever since pathologists began paying more attention to the infnitesimal organ isms that are responsible for such whole sale slaughter of human lives they have rnarvelled at the successful efforts of the germs to defy them. They seemed to pos sess charmed lives.
 When the great war came on, with it's attendant danger of devastating plaques, Q the .pathologists took up the fight against germs with renewed vigor. It was not until 1921, however, that Captain Doug las, of the British Institute of Medical Research, astounded the scientific world with the announcement that the reason so little progress was made against microbes was that nature had protected them with an "armor" tougher in propor- tion than the hide of an elephant and com parable only to the almost impenetrable coat-of-mail of the giant armadillol The ordinary methods used to destroy the germs were as intellectual as firing an automatic pistol at the side of a battle ship. .a.l : Ever since announcement was made of this discovery pathologists have been try ing to find some way to penetrate this 'sarmor." Protected by it the microbe was practically unkillable. It was appar- ently impervious to freezing, to fire, to gas and to water.
 One of the pioneers in the crusade against the "armOr-plate" microbe was Professor George Dreyer, the distin- guished pathologist of Oxford University. Almost continuously for the past five years Professor Dreyer has been experi- menting in his laboratory to discover some method of destroying this "arnlor''

z are able to Kill and devour the germs faster than they multiply, then the body is safe. When the germs get f the upper hand and multiply faster than the white corpuscles destroy them, you become i'll; and if the process goes on long enough, you die.
 Science has already discovered many ways of aiding the white cor puscles in these battles, with serums, vaccines, disinfectants and medicines. But the object of serums and vaccines generally is to stimulate the white cor puscles to stronger and more effective fighting.
 The new discovery by Professor Dreyer approaches the warfare from an entirely new angle. Stripping the bacteria of their defensive "armor'' makes them easier prey for their natural enemies, the white knights" defenders of the body, as they are called in Thompson's Outline of Science"
 The microbes, in order to undermine human tissue successfully, must obviously be protected in some way from their enemies. Nature has done this in exactly

Not since the stirring days OF 1872
when Theodore Roosevelt and his
Bull Moosers threw monkey wrench
into the G.. o. P. works, have Republi
can leaders been SO non-plussed at
the trend of affairs as now.
The remarkable showing Of Senator
Robert M. La Toilette in the North
Dakota primaries, when by means Of
a last-minute distribution of stickers
his supporters rallied sufficiently to
give the old-time party adherents the
scare of their lives, is still the chief
topic of conversation here in Wash
ington
That the Wisconsin's old war horse
has a strong following in certain sec

Northwest, where the Farmer Labor
vote is most marked, is conceded by
those in charge Of the Coolidge cam

third-party movement more than any
embarrassment threatened by Hiram

clamor of La Toilette followers for

True, Senator La Follette's recent
illness has been source of great con
Germ to his admirers. He is not well
man by any means, and whether he
could stand the strain of strenuous
Presidential campaign, which would
surely be the case should third
party materialize, is problematical.
His fighting proclivities are well
known, however, and nothing short
of a complete breakdown would pos
sibly deter him, once he felt the call
for his leadership was imperative.
Senator La Toilette is serving his
fourth term in the Senate. He is sixty
nine years old, and until his recent
illness has always been noted for his
rugged constitution and indomitable
spirit

No matter to what his opponents
attribute the causes, the sweeping vic
tory Of William Gibbs McAdoo over
Senator Oscar Underwood in the
Georgia primaries has greatly reyiy-
ed hopes of his supporters and added
a perceptable impetus to his cam
paign for the Democratic Presidential
nomination.
Until mentioned in connection with
the oil investigation, it was freely adj
mitted by all factions Of the party
that the candidate who beat the form
er Secretary of Treasury would I'M
questionably receive the nomination.
This sentiment was pronounced even
among his avowed enemies, at the
meeting of the Democratic National
Committeeman here in January, and
while there were those who openly
boosted he would never muster the
candidate himself and all of his as
sociates seemed sublimely confident
of ultimate success.
Then came announcement by e. l..
Doheny that McAdoo was one of his
counsel, the hurried trip Of the candi
date to Washington to disclaim any
knowledge of the alleged oil irregu-
larities, his severing of connections
with Doheny and the hurried gather
ing of ali McAdoo leaders at Chicago
where a t.'clean bill of health" was
given the candidate and he was i'm
portuned to continue in the race.
While in no way curtailing their
campaign plans. from the time OF

the Georgia primaries were announc-
ed, the candidate and his managers

now that they feel thorough vindi-
cation has been attained a spirited
fight in all sections of the country
may be looked for from now until the
convention in June
Many McAdoo admirers, especial
ly in the South, feel that the death of

has helped his candidacy immeasur

OF and the worse off,; understand
ing between those who employ and
those who are employed. Under
standing between all these is possible
but understanding is impossible be-
tween the Bourbon and the radical.
Accordingly, a contribution on our
side to understanding is the avoid
ance of Bourbonism.
Some of us may well re-examine our
conception of property rights. If those
who own property and those who are
charged with its conservation recog-
nize this fact: That property-right is
best defended, not on grounds of ira
dition, but on grounds Of usefulness,
there is chance, through open-mind-
ed discussion, for understanding be-
tween them and those who vote. On
the other hand, with the Bourbon who
holds that property-right, unchanged
BILE in all its aspects, is not discussable
in any aspect there is no chance for
understanding. There is chance for
clash. He promotes the class con-
seriousness that is his danger and the
danger of those whose business it is
to conserve property into the future.
Is it possible, in the second place,
that some of us may well re-examine
our conception of free speech? Thus
also we may help, each his mite, to
avoid misunderstanding between Bour-
bon and radical. Some of us would find
ourselves assuming free speech as the
right of hose who accept the political
and social institutions in which we
believe. Whereas the fact is, OF
course, that free speech, short OF in
element to law-breaking, is the right
Of all of us. 1t is the right of the
communist and the socialist as much
as it is the right Of you and me. Ii
we who believe in our political and
social institutions recognize this fact:
That free speech, short always OF in
element to law-breaking, is the right
Of those whose ideas we dislike not
less than of those whose ideas we
like, we promote understanding.
Indeed, let us go farther and say that
we had better abate somewhat of our
zeal for repressive legislation. Gov
eminent by falling can put out the
communist and the socialist, but can-
not put down communism or social
ism. That is the task of those who
think straight and discuss generous
mindedly.
