which we find next upon the roster of those brave
heroes who rSked their own lives to seek out the
microscopic causes of diseases.
But we must couple third name to theirs that
OF Frederick Loeffler another of Koch's assistants
D1phther1a was then raging through Europe. Loef-
her set out to find the microbe
He discovered that it was mcrobe which lodged
itself only in the throat of the sick person.
But Loeffer could not explain how this microbe
caused diphtheria. In anthrax microbes Swarmed in
the blood OF the afflicted animal by the millions One
could see how the damage done. But how was
one to explain the behavior of the diphthera germ?
Then Loeffer made a suggestion. He said that he
thought it might be possible that the dphthera germ
secreted poison or toxin to use the technical
name, and that this poison caused death.
Roux took up the search at this point BY brilliant
and dangerous experiments he grew diphheria germs
in test-tubes and then filtered out the toxin which
they secreted. He found it so deadly that tiny
drop of 1t would kill guinea pig a rabbit
Now Behring entered the fight and discovered that
the blood Of animals which had suffered an attack
OF diphtherie and recovered constituted antidote
for the diphtheria germs poison. From this, he de-
veloped anttoxin.
This anttoxin was improved further by Roux
At the time, there was dreadful epidemic G.
diphtheria in Paris In hospitals, so out Of
every 100 children with it were dying.
The hospitals began to Roux's serum. The
results showed the antitoxin to be cure for dph-
iberia.

TINE wild rampage of these two

tiers of the Sells-Floto circus at Peru,

GONE say Captain Carey was to
~ blame, that he should have
known the Vestris was in grave
danger and should have called for
help sooner than he did.
Some say the Vestris was sent out
in poor condition, that coal port
could not be closed, that the cargo
was improperly stored, that the life
boats were leaky and not fully
equipped.
Some say that the crew was not
only incompetent, but panic
stricken.
There may be an element Of JUS
tice in all these charges, but there
is more than likely to be an ele-
ment of injustice.
At present, the situation is dom
mated by shock and excitement.
This is particularly true of those
who went through the disaster and
on whom we eventually must de-
pend Tor first hand information.
People cannot endure what the
crew and passengers on this ill
fated ship did, without losing their
poiSe to some extent. The public
cannot form fair opinion, unless
it makes reasonable allowance for
such an obvious fact.
The case demands thorough in
veStigation, not only to fix RESPONSE
bility, but to discover if anything
can be done to prevent such dis
asterS in the future. That means
that prejudice must be laid aside.

WHENCE THEY CAME
W AKIN G, THINKING

XNTE are not surprised to learn
w that Mr.. Hoover used to walk
around in his big Office in the de-
partment of commerce building.
while debating, for walking lubrS-
Gates the brain and filings open the
doors Of all the brain cells.
There's more mental benefit in a
half hours walk than in a years
automobile ride.
The desire of this aged citizen of
Iowa to hold Mr.. Hoover's hat when
ne is inaugurated reminds us that
Stephen A. Douglas performed this
service at the Inauguration of
Abraham Lincoln, his ancient an
tagonist not only in politics, but in
matrimony.
The worst thing about Governor
Smiths defeat was the failure Of
the state, of New York to give him
her electoral votes.
She gave those votes to Samuel j.
Tilden and Grover Cleveland when
neither had displayed Governor
Smiths ability to handle the presi-
dency.

Blaming the Dead

AS to Captain Carey, much has
been said that would better have
been left unsaid.
Being dead, he is the most con-
venient goat. Denunciation of him
at this time, whether warranted or
not, only will serve to furnish an
alibi for those who might need it.
If he were entirely at fault, it fol-
lows that others are innocent. Those
who would make him so are only
making it harder to find out
whether others deserve to be held
accountable.
AT present, there Is little to sup
port the theory that he was crimi-
nally negligent, or even grossly in
competent.

Case in Point

Some, perhaps, will remember the
case Of Captain Inman Selby, who
went down with the Inflated Re-
public only to rise in spite of the
suction and be saved in an almost
miraculous manner.
Was he given gold medal for
obeying the "tradition Of the sea?"
Was he even allowed to keep his
place as a commander? He was
notl Captain Inman Selby, though
he had conducted himself in every
respect as an able seaman should,
was thrown out of his profession at
the age Of so and compelled to shift
for himself. His courage and ability
are evidenced by the fact that he
took up law, even at that late day,
and made good at it. The sea, how
eyer. would have none Of him.

such as that of policeman, motor

positions in which they are required
to stand for long.
If there is a deficiency of the
heart, clerical positions, steno-
graphic and secretarial work are far
more preferable than truck driving
parcel and stockroom employment
or similar occupations.
Obviously the only way in which
a person can know these things
is to have a physical examination.
Many great commercial organiza-
stions have made definite arrange
ments for such examinations of all

Physicians as a group are now
giving serious consideration to these

Pride Theory TommmYrot

1t has occurred before, and there
is no reason to assume that it might
night have occurred in this case for
the captain of ship to be placed in
position where he could not help
himself, and where his apparent
mistakes in Judgment were due to
that memorable law of the sea ito
obey orders even in you break
owners"
The theory Of alienists that he was
the victim of the mastery impulse, 4"
that pride in his ship and himself
probably made him forget there was
any one else at sea-" and that "he
would refuse to wound his vanity by
doubling his own power to bring
ship and passengers safely through"
might just as we'll be dismissed as
so much tommyrot. SO, too, should
the speculations as to whether he
committed suicide to cover his
chagrin, or went down like a hero
in obedience to a tradition Of the
sea-"
We shall never know exactly why
Captain Carey refused a lifebelt
and walked calmly down into the
water, as has been testified by an
eye witness. In connection with
other reasons, however. it might as
well be admitted that he was aware
Of the relentless rule by which a
captain is held responsible for what
happens on board his ship not only
by the general public, but by the
owners and that Of the two the own
ers can be more cruel, especially
when it offers them way out.
Whatever Captain Carey might have
thought of his own conduct, he knew
perfectly well that he was ruined
man.
