Scientists Hold
Meet in Madison

Madison, Wis III Leading bac-
teriologiate of the United States and
Russia gathered here today to talk
over their science and the achieve
ments that have been made in its
field.
A business session opened the TWEEN
ty-seventh annual meeting of the So
ciety of American Psychologists at
the university medical school, well
ing. DR.. Charles r. Bardeen, dean of
the university medical school, well
coined the visiting scientists, after
which reports were presented by of
ficers and committees.
Carbon dioxide appears to be neces-
sary for all bacterial development,
George Valley and Leo F. Bettger of
Yale university, found in experiments
which they described this morning.
They found that number of organ
isms, including the germs of typhoid,
pneumonia and dysentry, failed to be-
gin growing in the absence of carbon
monoxide.
Gin many instances" the two scien-
lists reported, growth could be pre-
vented by removing the carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere with which they
were supplied, preliminary to and DUR
ing the period of incubation. On the
other hand, some of the organisms
failed to develop only when both the
gaseous environment and the medium
were made carbon dioxide free.
Different bacterial groups, and Of
ten different members of the same
genus or species, differ very markedly
in their carbon dioxide requirements"
Bacteriology still suffers for the
lack of satisfactory classification and
nomenclature, Ivan G. Hall of the
university of Colorado told his fellow
scientists. He suggested that defini-
tions of the larger groupings be made
on basis of their forms or structures,
reserving their physiologic properties
for the definitions of species.

Plan to Dynamite
In Path of Fire

Ocean City, Md, l. City officials
this afternoon were considering the
advisability of dynamiting buildings in
the path of fire which is threatening
destruction of this resort. Most of the
amusement concessions, the Atlantic
and seaside hotels, part of the business
districts and portion Of the residence
section late today either was in ruins
or burning. Officials said dynamite
might save the larger part of the resi-
Dental district. A stiff wind has car
ried embers to all parts of the city and
aid has been called from every town
within so miles. Explosion of gaso-
line tank shattered water main serv-
ing a large section of the city, and
three lateral mains burst soon after
wards, handspring the firefghters.
No casualties have been reported. Res
licences which were burned were for
the most part fired by sparks on the
roofs and the occupants had ample
time to leave. The hotels were closed
for the winter.

Milwaukee, WIS tAP) Federal
prohibition agents assembling here
for the more or less mysterious raids
to be conducted. New Years eve, in
Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha, de-
clared they intend arresting and jail
ing women who possess liquor.
Should the liquor in the possession
of any one encountering the prohibi-
ton agents have been obtained in any
other manner than from physician
after physical examination, the per-
son is liable and will be arrested.
AS the time for the New Years
celebration draws nearer, there are
added indications that the time hon
orded event in Milwaukee will be a
very quiet and dignifed affair. The
Shorecrest hotel, the Stratford Arms
hotel and Charley Toys restaurant
have cancelled their arrangements for
the New Year party. The only larger
hotels continuing preparations are the
Plankinton, the Astor and the Wis
consin. These places have announced
that no one attending their parties
may violate the prohibition amend
ment.

Complains About
Bad Publicity

Madison, Wis. nlN - Sharp
criticism by DR.. Ivan C. Hall of the
University of Colorado, of methods
employed by the Society of American
Psychologists in rushing too rapidly
into print with classifcations and
nomenclature of bacteriology, thus
adding to the confusion in terms al
ready apparent, may lead to a bitter
fight in the annual meeting of the
society here.
DR.. Hall was the first speaker on
the convention program and he lost no
time in launching his attack. At least
fifty years will be required in shift
ing out the disagreements of bac-
teriologists on terms, names and
classifcations before something
standard in the way of manual can
be adopted to meet the approval of
the rank and file of bacteriologists,
Mr.. Hall said.

RESIGNS POST
F. A. Carlson Resigns
to Accept Position in
st. Louis.
is BIG PROMOTION
New Offer Comes as a RecOg-
milton of His Efficient
Work in Kenosha.

Floyd A. Carlson, director of parks
of Kenosha for the past three years,
has resigned his position to accept a
place on the staff of Harland Bartholo-
new, city pIanner, with Offices in st.
Louis, according to an announcement
made this morning by City Manager
C. M. Osborn. His resignation has
BEEN accepted and will become
effective February /, 1925.
In announcing the change, City, Man.
ager Osborn stated that the city adj
ministration had accepted the resig-
nation with regret as Director Carlson
had been most successful in build
ing up the parks of Kenosha, but that
they felt the offer presented him a
most extraordinary field for advance
ment and that the city should not
stand in his way.
Mr.. Carlson is to have charge of
the park and civic center development
bureau of the Bartholomew organiza-
ton. Harland Bartholomew, head of
the company, became acquainted with
the extraordinary work of Mr.. Carl
son as director of parks. in Kenosha
and it was through this that he was
offered the appointment.
Has Built Up Parks.
Under Mr.. Carlson's direction,
much has been done in the past three
years to advance the parks of Ke-
nosha. He has been leader in the
development of the Municipal golf
course until it is known as one of
the most successful in the state. He
has also developed Lincoln park and
Washington park and has mapped out
a program for increased use of all of
the parks of the city.
His counsel has been of great value
to the city council in deciding upon
a park system which is to include the
development of parks along the lake
shore and of the Washington Island
property.
Mr.. Carlson has also been active in
other civic work. He was secretary
of the Kenosha Rotary club, member
of the Kenosha Civic council and 9TH
er organizations and will also be
greatly missed by these bodies.
City Manager Osborn stated that no
successor had yet been named but
that he hoped to fill the vacancy by
the time that Director Carlson leaves
for st. Louis to take over his new
work.

Madison, Wis The re-

the best interests of the URiver-

Her views on the endowment

DIR. Beebe compared the state

former, with its citizens, consti-
tuting the parents and the latter
the child.
No parents, he said, would like
to have their children supported
by outside charity. Rather, they
would work and sacrifice for the
good of the family to preserve the
ties between its members and
make them more independent and
self reliant.

higher prices from city governments
than could be obtained from anybody
else and often driving sharp bargains
over collateral costs when possible,
extends even to suburban areas, where
unstable lots may be rendered more
salable by public recreation centers.
Here are some things eyidencing the
contrasting attitude of Kenosha land
owners:
Citizens Cooperate.
"Not one cent has so far been spent
in condemnation proceedings or in
other litigation.
"To forward street widening pro-
jects, many citizens have voluntarily
moved their buildings back and do
mated free of charge the front strips
of lots needed for street use.
Subdivision owners replatted their
lots to conform to the outer boulevard
project, most of the land for which
was donated.
"Owners of frontage on new streets
or improved streets donated the money
for shade trees and other adorn-
ments. n
AS the details of the full program
to be carried out by degrees were
known, there was danger that few
grasping land owners might greatly
advance their prices. Private citizens
accordingly have acquired much of
the land needed for further park and
other identification projects and will
hold it until the city can afford to
buy it, when it will be turned over at
its original low cost.
Descriptions of the ambitious pro-
gram state that Harland Bartholomew
of st. Louis has planned the improve
ments. Already an attractive town,
Kenosha will have outstanding public
assets exceeding those Of almost every
other city of its class, and yet an
asset more valuable than any other

KEEP KENOSHA
BEST IS PLEA
Attorney C. Fisher Pre-
sents New Years ResO-
lutions to Rotary.
HEAR DIST GOVERNOR

Keep Kenosha the best city in the
state, should be one of the New Years
resolutions adopted by every forward
looking resident of the city, accord
ing to the plea made at noon today by
Attorney Clarence Fisher to the MEM
bers of the Kenosha Rotary club at
its luncheon meeting in the Pompeian
room at the Elks' club. Attorney
Fisher explained that in his opinion
one should wait until New Years day
to make resolutions, but to better any
situation as soon as it was found to
need attention. In keeping with the
subject assigned him, however, he
suggested two resolutions, which he
claimed were most worthy Of consider
alton.
He suggested that much of the
progress, which had been made in Ke-
nosha, had been brought about by rea-
son of the fact that the city manager
form of government was in effect here.
He called attention to the possibility
of a special election this year to de-
eide whether or not this government
should continue and urged the neces-
sity of hard work to keep it if Keno
sha is to continue along the path Of
progress mapped out for it.
Respect for Laws.
His other suggestion for a New
Years resolution was that every law
abiding citizen should highly resolve
that he would in no way aid or en-
courage the growing disrespect for law
growing out of violations of the pro-
hibition amendment to the constitu-
ton.
at has come to the place where
each and every one of us must decide
whether or not we like liquor better
than the laws Of our country" said
Attorney Fisher. "Those who do
should move out of the land and go
where they can get liquor legally. 4.
the law is not to their liking there
is constitutional way 70 change it
and they should bend their efforts in
that direction. While it is in the
statute books, it is the duty Of all to
obey it and help decrease the growing
disrespect for law in the community"
Hear Rotary Governor.
The Rotarians also heard most
interesting address by Bart McCor-
mick of Lacrosse, district governor Of
Rotary, who outlined the ideals of Ro-
tary and showed the progress which
it was making in carrying out its mess
sage of service. He praised the Ke-
nosha Rotary club for carrying out the
program as outlined by the district
organization,
Attorney George w. Taylor was in
charge of the program for the day, in
PRODUCING Attorney Fisher to address
the Rotarians.
