CEVERAL hundred years before

said, Growing bodies have the most
heat; they therefore require the
most food"
His belief was based on accurate
observation, but more than 1000
years passed before it became pos
sible to measure accurately the diff
ferences between the energy re-
quirements of the child and Of the
adult.
During the first week Of a baby's
life chemical changes that go on in
its body are lower than those of
the adult, and much lower than
those of older infants and children.
BY the end of the first two weeks
the rate rises approximately to that
Of grown-ups.
From that time on 1t continues
rising rapidly, until the end of the
first year or the early part Of the
second year of life, when it reaches
the highest point in the normal life
of the person concerned.
Then it declines gradually until

buried the head of a bullock swarm of bees would
arise from it.
Flies were believed to be generated spontaneously
from decayed meat And so it went.
There was even belief that mice came to life out

LaZzaro Spallanzani, while student and later a

Then one day he came across old book written
by named Red
This book and later events made microbe hunter
out of Spallanzani
1t that Red set out to prove that flies did not
arise spontaneously from decayed meat. SO he per-
formed simple experiment.
He took two pieces of meat He placed one in the
open. He put the other in jar covered with fine
net
He noticed that flies settled on the first piece At
ter while maggots appeared it. These later turned
INTO flies
But flies could not get at the second piece of meat
and result neither maggots flies from it
1t plain that what happened was that the fe-
male flies laid eggs the first piece of meat which
later Matched into maggots.
Flies did not arise spontaneously, but only from
eggs laid by other flies
This experiment of Redi pointed the way when
Ssallanzani undertook to hunt microbes.

Dry Law Tinkering

rights, Thomas Jefferson placed
life first, but life is the last thing
we talk about on the political plat
form, unless it is the life of some
scalawag, who has been convicted,
and whom somebody wants par
doned. The thousands of women
and children who are crushed to
death beneath the wheels of our
vehicles and manufactures go I'M
wept and unsung.
In all this hectic campaign, no
body has found time to say a word
in their behalf. OF all the issues
raised, and all the questions dis
cussed, safety has not enjoyed even
honorable mention.
Taking it for granted that the
fatal, or injurious effects of acute
alcoholism might be reduced by
tinkering with prohibition laws,
our big, broad-minded, sympathetic
leaders, appear never to have
! thought that the fatal and injurious
effects of machinery might be re-
duced by tinkering with other laws
The idea of making hootch safe
has overshadowed the idea of max
ing the auto, mill, mine and high

Main Streets Foreign Investments

Up to the end of 1927, Americans had invested
S11659 100000 in foreign countries, says Depart
nnent of Commerce bulletin, just out.
During the first nine months of this year another
billion dollars was added to that. BY Jan. the
total will be about $13OOO0OOOOO
But great as this is, it does not tell the
whole story of our stupendous stake abroad. Not
by a joyful The above figures include only the
loans officially offered for public subscription Many
Americans have invested large directly in for
eign fields.
Dr. Max Winkler, vice president bf Berton Girls

pert in such matters estimates that far back as
1926 Americans had invested at least $1300O0 600
abroad and that by the end of 1927 their foreign
holdings represented something like $14,5oooooooo.
Thus, by the end of this year, our total foreign
investments will foot up to pretty sixteen billion
dollars, not counting the war debts.
Including war debts, amounting to some $120o0,-
100000, foreigners soon will be owing the American
people no less than $2s,OOOoOoOOO, or considerably
more than our entire national wealth sixty years ago.

years of age, about 1900 calories per

CIamor for Safety

Ninety-1ve thousand people died
from aYoidable accidents in this
country last year, while five times
as many were seriously injured.
Automobiles accounted for more
than one-fourth Of the victims.
Though neither Smith nor Hoover
has mentioned safety as an issue,
some people think it should be so
considered.
Some people think that this age
Of machinery is taking an unneces-
sary toll of life and limb, and that
constituted authority should do
something to prevent it.
Some people think that careless
driving, poor traffic regulations and
failure to adopt remedial measures
are responsible for the grim record,
Some people think that the aboli-
ton Of grade-crossings, improved
highways and severer penalties
would help a great deal.

Yet I find the Government far

I find a great solicitude for my

Schwimmers case to the United States Supreme
Court, and argue that she is not fit person to be
