Progress Being Made
in War or, Bacteria

Disease-causing bacteria have many
devices to perpetuate their kind In an
adverse world. Psychologists of the
Hooper Foundation for Medical Re
search, University of California, have
shown that tetanus spores may resist
the temperature of boiling water for
ninety minues, botulinus in vegetable
juices for five and one-half hours and
those of closely related but harmless
species, of eight and one-half hours.
Other workers have proved that ty-
phoid and other organisms may re-
main alive for years at refrigerator or
lower temperatures. This constitutes
a factor Of great danger for man and
animals which it is the function of
scientific research to obviate, says Dr.
George e. Coleman, of the Hooper
foundation. "The brilliant success"
he states, "that has been attained al
ready, in which the experimental use
of mice and guinea pigs has played a
large part, is constantly being pro-
claimed by statistical evidence of few
er food poisonings and typhoid out
breaks as we'll as by increased protec-
ton from many of our other micro
scopic foes"

Foolish to Boast
of Great Descent

'Tracing ones ancestry is a rank
fallacy," declares Albert Payson Ter
hume, who has just completed years
study of genealogical research for the
American Magazine and is now at
lacking the growing fad.
''In the first place few people real
ize that perhaps millions of ancestors
good and bad, have interviewed be-
tween themselves and the illustrious
person from whom they claim to have
descended" he says in summing up
his studies. Secondly, several mil
lion other people, If they took the
trouble, could boast of the same lin
cage Thirdly, boasting of a great
ancestor is confession Of inferiority
if the descendant has not lived up to
the repute of his forebear.
"The most common ancestral claim"
says Mr.. Terhune, illustrating the
weakness of the average case, us re-
lationship to William the Conqueror.
Simple arithmetic shows these facts:
"Science allows about ,thirty-three
years to each generation, which shows
that there have been 26 or more gen.
erations between person living to-
day and William the Conqueror, who
was in his prime in 1865.
,t"The descendant had two parents,
four grandparents, eight great-grand-
parents and so on. Continuing to
double 20 times, it will show about
forty million ancestors since 1866 So
the descendant would have only a
forty-millionth of the Conqueror's
blood.
''In all Great Britain and France in
1865 there were not 40,UOO,OOO peo-
pie, SO if anyone has had 100000
ancestors since that date, he is GER
tainly descended from William. Also
he is descended from almost every
robber and homicide and mendicant
and genius and celebrity who hap
pened to be alive In the Conqueror's
time and earlier.
''The common fallacy is the result
of tracing one particular line and ig-
noring thousand other branches of
family. know of one New England
err who succeeded in tracing his ances-
try directly to Adam with just as
much accuracy as many have traced
theirs back to Charlemagne or other
historical figures.
another barrier to effective geneal-
logical research is the old-time sys-
TEN of family names adopted from
residence or occupation. Thus John
Hill, who lives on hill, and John
Church, who lived by the church, may
have been the closest relatives, yet
their descendants go off on wide tan
gents in tracing two families"
1t is far better, says Mr.. Terhune
to decree: II had no ancestors to
boast of, but you can bet my descend
ants are going to have"
