CARBON DIOXIDE IS
 ESSENTIAL TO LIFE
Yale Research Expert Makes Important Bac-
 astrological Discovery

New Haven. Conn, Oct. 30 P- Carbin dioxide, popularly considered @ waste product, is essential to the life of all bacteria. This is the dis covery announced today by L. F.. Rettger Ph.D. professor of bacteri- ology at Yale university,
 Dr. Rettger expressed the opinion that further study will show that carbon dioXide is necessary to every form of plant and animal life. The results of Dr. Rettger's two years investigation into the subject will be formally announced to the scientific world in the near future, he said. In his research he has been assisted by George Valley. Ph.D. '26, a graduate of Ohio State university and now senior Sterling Research I1cllow.f
 The study of many germs difficult of cultivation in the past will be facilitated by the artificial stimulus to growth and expansion effected by carbon dioXide. according to Pro- lessor Rettger, Such germs may now be isolated from the tissue in which they have taken growth. and kept by occasional applications of the gas in a state of activity suita ble for study.
 Of far wider significance said Dr. Rettgcr is the possibility remote ct present, that method of tempor- arily removing carbon dioxide from tissue may be devised. This would directly remove disease by causing the death of the disease germs through absence of the vital gas.

In the case of John Skibo of 463 Stanley street, charged with resisting arrest and violation of the liquor law on two counts, Judge filling in police court this morning said he would not convict on the charge of reputation on hearsay evidence and he would not hold that man vio- lated the liquor law by selling liquor to anther who represented that he wanted 1t for sick person. He did not comment on the resistance charge, but discharged Skibo on the other charges.
 Skibo. who has been convicted twice on liquor law violation, plead ed not guilty and was represented by Attorney D. L. Dunn. After the tes- timony was in and Prosecuting At vorney Woods asked that Skibo be bound over, Judge filling said the mere fact that complaints are made to the police about a store, tene- ment or other place does not prove reputation. It is nothing more than
  allowed to testify to he&rsay any more than witnesses. If complainants will come into court and recite their reason for believing the law is being violated the evidence would be re- moved from the realm of hearsay.
 The polce agent in this case ad- mitted that he told Skibo his wife was i'll and in need of liquor, When a man is tricked in this fashion, he should not be held to be guilty of violating the law, the judge said.
 John Romancyk. of 25 Florence street, the agent" testified that he purchased a pint bottle of alleged liquor for S1. Skibo owed him S4 and Romancyk asked him for $2 cash and s2 worth liquor. Skibo took a bottle of liquor and drove Romancyk to his home but did not give him the bottle. This angered him and he decided to 'squeal" on Skibo.
