AN epidemic of memorial building
seems to have followed every war.
At the close of our great Civil strug-
gle nearly every hamlet erected
tribute of some sort. There were go
many started or planned in the United
States shortly after the late war that
those who felt responsible for the
artistic development Of the country
time and again warned against the
danger Of a deluse Of stereotyped or
stock" forms Of memorials which
would prove a. burden and q ve1afion
to future generations. 1t was also
deemed necessary repeatedly to point
out that the memorials we were build
ing commemorated not only victory.
hut our ideals. and that "the most i'm
pressive monument Is one which ap-
peals to the imagination alone. which
rests not on its material use. but upon
it's tdealism. From such a monument
flows the impulse for great and heroic
action, for devotion to duty nnd Tor
love Of country. Although 1t Is devoid
Of practical utility, it ministers to
much higher use; 1t elevates the
thoughts Of all beholders, and arouses
and makes effective the finest Inn
pulses Of humanity"
In discussing the memorial "situa~
ton" in America. a member Of the
Fine Arts Commission declared that.
! while countless memorials OF unques-
| toned beauty have already been con
structed, the truly great sermons IN
stone," with the war as their text, VIII
| not come into being for several years.
| This Is said to be because 1t takes time
for us to get our perspective correct.
Being too close to a thing or an event
! makes 1t difficult to judge it's worth
correctly, and, not being able to do
that, 1t is manifestly impossible to
| perpetuate its meaning. The oft'ctted
Lincoln Memorial is a pertinent ex-
ample, for that universally acclaimed
masterpiece in marble was not COM
pleted until more than half a century
after the death Of the man whom 1t
honors. So 1t IS expected that in addi-
ton to the local monuments. which
the war-developed community spirit
brought forth, our national spirit Will
in the years to come produce imposing
memorials comparable to the one to
Lincoln in Potomac Park.

A Mysterious Friend.
QAcTERIoPHAGE, that mysteri

RACTERIOPHAGE. that mysterious
principle or organism, as yet un-
seen by any scientist though used
daily by many, has been discovered in
new role as devourer of the dead
liest of bacteria. says Science Maya
zine, by DIR. Paul F. Clark and Alice
Shiedt Clark of the University OF
Wisconsin, and DIR. L. o. Dutton- OF
the eMthodist Hospital. Memphis.
Tenn.
The most dangerous Of the disease
causing organisms which the three
researchers have discovered to be
part of the bill of fare Of the bacteri-
ophage is known as the hemolytic
streptococcus, or blood-dissolving
chaingerm, because of its fatal action
in the blood causing one Of the worst
types of blood poisoning. 1t Is also
the causal organism Of scarlet fever,
and Of one of the deadliest types Of
pneumonia.
Cultures of this organism in test
tubes grow vigorously and make the
fluid cloudy, but the Introduction OF
little material containing the bacteri-
ophage soon makes 1t clear again, due
to the death and disintegration Of the

periments, this clearing-up OF the
cultures took place in as short time
as SO hours.
Bacteriophage, which literally trans
lated means ''bacterium eater" IL a
puzzling something discovered by the
researches of F. w. Twort, British
scientist, and F. d'Herelle, a French
Canadian. Bacteriologists are very
much at odds over it, some claiming
that 1t is living organism. or at least
a living substance, and others main
tanning that though 1t does some
things that living beings do it does not
have all the attributes of life.
If 1t has an organized body at all 1t
must be exceedingly minute, for 1t has
never been seen even with the ultra
microscope, and 1t can pass through
the pores of fine porcelain filter.
Moreover, it Is not killed by high tenn
peratures that are fatal to all other
known organisms. Yet when even
little Of the fluid containing 1t Is added
to q culture of bacteria, the latter are
soon dead, no matter how numerous
they are nor how little there was of
the bacteriophage to begin with.
1t Is this apparent power to multi
ply itself that sets the bacteriophage
apart from even the most complex of
lifeless chemicals, for lifeless things do
not have the power of self.propaga-
ton. Much research on this puzzling
stuff is now in progress, from which
far-reaching effects in medicine and
sanitation may result.

having secured the necessary congress

as in the instance Of Indianapolis. lent
its support to several memorial en-.
terprises.
The predominance Of buildings as
memorials among the individual
States Is typical Of their popularity
among all groups. There have been
so many memorials erected in the last
few years that even those who are
most concerned with such things have
lost count, but this much Is definitely
known: that every survey has shown
buildings to be FAR and away the most
numerous form Of the larger war

Thanksgiving day In the United
States is a yearly festival Of thanks
giving for the mercies of the closing
year. The Gay is fixed by proclama-
don Of the Presidents and the gov
ernOrs Of the various states. The
Presidents proclamation makes the
day a legal holiday in the District Of
Columbia, territories and possessions.
In 1889 the Episcopal church for
mally recognized the civil govern
ments authority to appoint such a
feast, and In 1888 the Roman Catholic
church also decided to honor a festi-
val which had long been nearly uni
versally observed.
The earliest harvest THANKSGIVING
In America was kept by the Pilgrim
Fathers at Plymouth in 1921 and was
repeated often during that and the
ensuing century. Congress recon-
mended days Of Thanksgiving annually
during the Revolution and in 1854 for
the return Of peace-as did President
Madison in 1915, following the close
Of the second war with Great Britain.
