The tetanus germs are found in
the soil. Most rusty nails have been
lying on the ground. But these germs
will not grow in the presence Of air.
An open wound is, therefore, ordi-
narily safe from them, even if in
| fected.
A deep, small puncture, difficult to
clean to the bottom and protected
from the air, is an ideal incubator.
| The rusty nail, stepped on, fur
nished these conditions better than
any other ordinary accident. Popular
| observation noted the fact. Scien-
| tific observation ascertained the
truth.
REAssIGNMENT OF GOVERNMENT
BUREAUS is NECESSARY
Announcement is made of the
transfer of the patent office from the
Interior to the Commerce Depart
ment. This is, let US hope, only the
first step in general reassignment
of bureaus to their proper depart
ments. Our executive departments,
like Topsy, have "jes' growed." The
Interior Department., especially, has
been a sort Of "omnium gatherum"
of whatever did not happen to 60
anywhere else. But the rest are bad
| enough. A reorganization of the
| whole system has been advocated by
| every president. at least since Taft.
Now there is chance that, under
Coolidge, it will be done.
BUDGET ALONE CAN NOT [ II
BRIDGE DEPARTMENTS
And when it is done, let one more
thing be added thereunto. 1t is not
enough to improve the relation of
the executive departments to each
other. The lack Of relation Of the
! whole executive branch to the legis-
lative branch is even worse. 1t is
the most unscientific and the least
practical in the world.
The aloofness has been bridged,
! in a way, by the budget. But the
budget will become either unavoidable
or unsafe unless further relation of
the heads of departments with
| legislation be made open and re-
| sponsible, instead of hidden and ir-
responsible, as it now is.
In other words. let them speak
and be questioned, openly, in Con-
gress, as is the case with the cor
responding officials in practically
every other free government in the
world.

argued as to the panel Judges Of the
Hague tribunal, to which we are al
ready signatory.
But not of the Permanent Court
Of international Justice. That is
exactly why it was made "perma-
nent."
WHERE IS THE HOWL
OF PROTEST NOW?
They are sending more diph-
liberia antitoxin to Nome, and te-
tanus and gas gangrene serum to the
tornado districts. Why do we not
hear the howl of protest?
If we sent only Catholic priests, or
Methodist preachers, to administer
consolation to the dying, we should
be charged, justly, with sectarian-
ism. If the healing art is likewise
divided into sects, each with its dog
mas and articles of faith, the same
thing follows.
We would have no right to confine
our public relief to the tenets of a
particular cult. We should inquire
of each victim of gangrene to which
"fai tn" his particular pus was to be
assigned, and then, according to his
sect, treat him with serum. calomel,
blessings, billionth of drop of
belladonna, or by osteopathic, chiro-
pathic, spondylthumpic or astro-
psychic manipulation.
These conclusions follow by ire
futable logic from the original as
sumption-that the healing art, like
religion, is divided into sects. The
fallacy is in this assumption itself
POPULAR OBSERVATION CAUSED
SCIENCE TO LEARN TRUTH
One Of these diseases, by the way
against which the serum is being
used, well illustrates the difference
between scientific and popular OBJ
servation.
That is tetanus, or "lockjaw." We
all heard, in our youth, that lock-
Jaw was caused chiefly by stepping
on rusty nails. Which was quite
correct, so far as it went. Most of
the actual cases, in each neighbor-
hood, did follow just this injury.
Curiously, they did not follow open
rips or tears even from rusty nails,
nor cuts from other rusty things.
Still. we attributed it to the rust, or
to the pain Of the deep puncture.
Now it is known that it was not the
rust Or pain, and not necessarily
even the dirt, that did it.

FABLES ON HEALTH
IMAGINARY ILLNESS

Mrs. Jones remembered woman,
living on another street. All her
acquaintances strongly believed
that her physical health was almost
perfect, to say the least.
Yet when they would meet her,
they would ask her how she was
feeling and invariably the answer
was the same:
lawfully bad, today. That pain
just gets worse and worse"
This woman would have been
highly insulted if some one had told
her that nothing was wrong, and
that most of her troubles were in
her mind only.

admit that the seat of their trouble

The technical name of these ner-

and among the psychoneurotic are
found those individuals who con-

distress and unhappiness of many
homes and communities.

TOY BOAT CARNIVAL
IN MAY Is PLANNED

A toy boat and model yacht car
nival on the rejecting pool at the
Lincoln Memorial in May, is planned
by the joint welfare service of the
Office of Public Buildings and
Grounds and the superintendent of
fee, State, War and Navy Depart
ment buildings. Proponents of the
carnival hope to arouse the interest
of the children of Washington in this
helpful and instructive form of rec
reation.
It is proposed to organize a car
nival committee of local sports writ
ers and representatives of the joint
welfare service and the playground
department of the District The Joint
welfare service plans to offer prizes
which may be augmented by others
given in various civic organizations.
The recreation facilities in the
parks Of Washington have been
growing at rapid rate during the
past few years, and the Office of Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds, in helping
to promote the proposed carnival,
would be carrying out its policy of
fostering all forms of helpful recrea-
tion and particularly of inaugurating
those forms with which the public
generally is not familiar.

D. C. FENCING TEAM
WINS AT ANNAPOLIS

ANNAPOLIS. Md, January 81
Washington Racquet Club, with a
number of members of the last Olym-
pic team of the United States, won
from the Naval Academy this after
noon by 9 bouts to s.
Foils, sabers and, epee were the
weapons used.
= With the foils the Navy won by 5
to 8, and there was a standoff with
the epee, or dueling sword, two bouts
each, but the Veterans registered
their victory through 3-to-1 tri-
umph with the sabers.
The distinct feature of the match
was the triple victory of 81idshipman
McDill with the foils. Two Of his
victims were Breckenridge, the champ

champion of Belgium, with his saber.
