WILSON MEMORY
LAUDED AT DINNER
Speaker Urges Kellogg Pact
Approval, but Calls 1t "Shad-

Prominent Democrats lauded the

Prominent Democrats lauded the
memory and ideals of Woodrow Wilson
on the anniversary of his birth at a
dinner given last night in the Woman's
National Democratic Club under the
auspices of the Woodrow Wilson Foun-
dation.
The dinner was one of many attend
ed by admirers of the war President
throughout the country, the principal
one of which took place in New York.
Prof. William E. Dodd of the Univer-
ity of Chicago gave an address on
Woodrow Wilson, the Last Liberal" at
the dinner here, which was attended
by many friends Of the former Presi-
dent. Others who spoke were Frederic
A. Delano, president of the woodrow
Wilson Foundation. and Charles S.
Hamlin of the Federal Reserve Board.
The dinner meeting was opened with
a prayer by Right Rev. James E. Free
man, Bishop of Washington.
Prof. Dodd paralleled the struggles of
Wilson for democracy with those of the
two great liberals of their age-Jeffer-
son and Lincoln. "All seerS seem at
first to fail, but in the end the prin-
ciples for which they fight triumph, -
he said. Jefferson lost his last strug-
gle-freedom for the slaves; Lincoln
lost his life for the Union, and Wilson
went down for world democracy.
Even when he seemed defeated, Will
son never lost faith in the cause of
democracy or his courage in the cause.
He fought for the principles of de-
mocracy in the first administration and
also in his second when he dared what
appeared the impossible-to give de-
mocracy to all the world"
Mr.. Hamlin in his address urged rati-
fication by the Senate of the Kellogg
pact for the remuneration of war, even
though he described it as merely the
Shadow" Of the Wilsonian ideal. -

ARLINGTON, Va, December 29.-
Automobiles in Arlington County in
creased 500 this year, according to an
estimate of ]. v. Turner, distributor of
license tags. In 1927 he distributed
$500 tags. and this year expects to ex-
ceed 5000, including those for approx
imately 600 trucks. His estimate is
based upon the yearly increase for the
past five years.
Last year Turner turned over more
than $92,34234 to the State from tags
sold in this section. Virginia tags
were available December Is, but to date
there have been but 1900 sold. The
exceptionally high price, as compared
with the District of Columbia, Is given
as a reason for the last minute rush.
purchasers are given until January IS
Because of the fact that the au-
thorities of Virginia do not follow those
of the District and Maryland in the
preparation and distribution of the
names and addresses of purchasers of
license tags, Turner prepares such a
list yearly and furnishes it to the
sheriff of the county. Turner's office
in Falls Church is the only place near
er than Richmond where such informa-
ton Is available, and the service has
been of great benefit in the location of
stolen cars and the apprehension of
thieves both. by Virginia and District
police.

RICHMOND, Va, December 29.-Dr
Ludwig Hektoen of the University OF
Chicago, was elected president yester-
day of the Society of American Bacte-
rologists now holding its thirtieth an
nual meeting in Richmond. DR.. S.
Bane Jones of the University of Ro-
chester was elected vice president and
DR.. James Sherman of Cornell was re-
elected secretary-treasurer.
Discussions of agricultural and indus
trial bacteriology, immunology and
pathology occupied the $50 delegates
attending the meeting today. Several
technical papers on this subject were
read and discussed by prominent bac-
teriologists of this country.
Attracting considerable attention was
the discussion by DR.. Rachel E. Haff-
stadt ard associates, of the University
of Washington, of new method of
protection against typhoid fever, which,
it was explained, consists of feeding
dead germs to humans instead of the
present intra muscular injection OF
dead germs. DR.. Haffstadt pointed out
that. in the present method many I'M
pleasant reactions have occurred, such
as local swelling and illness. In some
cases, the doctor continued. where a
patient is suffering from disease such
as tuberculosis the reaction from the
injection method may be severe enough
to incite an outbreak Of the tubercular
condition with fatal results
Dr. Haffstadt said that the new pro-
tective method has been used extensive
ly in Europe and India. 1t was also
pointed out that at this time the
United States Public Health Service is
not satisfied that the new method gives
the protection that the injection method
does, and therefore does not recon-
mend 1t in this country.

Abstain From Eating Dur
ing Shedding Season.

The fast of person for a few weeks
Is worthy of note, yet some of the
lower animals, scientists say, regularly
abstain from food for several months
during each year. In animals such as
the caterpillar, the crab and the lobster,
total abstinence from food occurs dur
ing the entire shedding season of many
weeks. A marvellous duplication of this
unbroken fast, according to insect au-
thorities, is found in the life of the
young spider during the first few weeks
of its existence.
Sea bears and walruseS deny them
selves of food for many weeks at breed
ing time, but they are put to shame
by the fervid conStancy of the gigantic
sea elephant "a species of SeaD which
annually remains foodless from August
till February. These animals, unlike
the caterpillar, crab and lobster, which
fast during the time of inaction, it was
pointed out, are at the height of their
excitement, exertion, responsibility and
danger when they steadily refuse to
feed in the midst of plenty. Sea ele-

in their bodies amounts to approx
mately $50 gallons, yet the appetite
which must have been necessary to
develop such proportions has been so
long disciplined and curbed that for
seven months in the year they neither
eat nor drink. During the remaining
five months, when they eat enormous
quantities, their food is not devoted
entirely to immediate expenditure but
day by day and week by week is held
in reserve for future use in the form
Of fat, blubber and OIL
Every scientist knows it is not the
habit of mammals alone to store up
energy for future use, for the penguin
has the ability to defy hunger and
survive what would be starvation con-
ditionS to any other bird in the world.
The commoner kinds, which nest with
in the Antartic Circle, such as the
Adele penguinS, go ashore in the Sum-
mer, make nests amid stones and ice
and endure periods of many days en-
tirely without food Their fasts, how
ever, are slight compared with that of
the Emperor penguin, which defies all
tradition by choosing the appalling
gloom of the Antartic night for its
nesting time in places where no kind
of nest is possible. The egg is laid
on the ice and instantly placed on the
