Scraps OF Paper"
viii Be On Market
Within FeuO Weeks

Mrs. Marietta Minnigerode An
dreWS has another book ready
Tor the public. It will probably
be on sale next month.
This volume, like the others
from Mrs. Andrews pen, consists
OF a collection OF "reminiscences
from the experience Of the author
and OF observations made by rela.
ttves In letters and diaries.
These have been bound together
and will be presented under the
title. SCRAPS of Paper" In this
volume Mrs. Andrews gives vivid
pictures OF the Civil War and the
World War.
Material
Her material Is taken from
letters, diaries, private journals
and personal documents written
by members of her family, who
served In these wars.
An interesting contrast IL shown
in the letters OF Mrs. Andrews
father. who, as q. boy, fought in
the Civil War, and in the letters
OF her son, Eliphalet Andrews,
who was in the service during the
World War.
The authors first book Of prose
she had published collections of
poems before carried rather a
sensation among her relatives and
friends because of the personal
character OF the revelations made
In my Poor Relations"
Intimate
However, it was this intimate
quality of the book that gave it
value. In 80 many autobiographi-
cal compilations one finds such
discrimination, omissions and eva
sions that the impression is given
that the most interesting things
were left untold. Which often
makes for dullness ana unreality
and in the end, another hook
that finds its way to dusty shelves
unread.
The next volume of Mrs. An
drews, MY Studio window" il q
continuation from the final chap
ter Of her first book and deals
with her life In Washington.

MEDICAL JOURNAL
TO HIT FLU STORY
Editorial Will Call Germ IS0-
lation Announcement
UnWarranted.


CHICAGO, December 1.-THE Amer
lcan Medical Association, through its
journal, will in it's next issue denounce
"as unwarranted" the announcement OF
Or. I. S. Falk that he had isolated the
influenza germ.
DR.. Falk, professor of hygiene and
bacteriology at the University of Chi
cago, announced last Friday through
the publicity department of the uni
versity that he and his laboratory as
sistants had successfully isolated the
germ causing influenza, and had been
led to hope. through further expert
ments. that a preventive vaccine might
be prepared.
with little if any apparent warrant"
the medical journal will say, lit is again
/. announced for at least the tenth time
in five years that the causative organ
ism of influenza has been discovered,
and that it is hoped to prepare vac
cine. There is thus far little or no evi-
dence in scientific medical literature,
or even in spoken addresses, to indi-
cate that I. S. Falk, Phi. D., and his
toward the solution of this problem
than have workers in other parts of
the world, now or in the past"
To Be Published Saturday.
The editorial will add that certain
daily publications succeeded in con-
fusing antitoXins, vaccines and similar
scientific terms in a manner which can
be explained only by the undue haste
with which the announcement was
rushed. to the audience. The furore is
inexcuSable"
The Journal is edited by DR.. Morris
Fishbein The next issue, containing
the editorial, will be published Satur-
day.
"All I can say" DR.. Falk told the
Associated Press yesterday, lis that /
made my report before the Bactefiology
Club of the University of Chicago, and
the evidence will shortly be IN print III
mode detailed form"
DR.. Falk in his announcement said
the influenza germ was of the pleomor-
phic streptococcus type. He succeeded,
with the use of pure culture, he said
in transmitting influenza to monkeys
: He also announced he had been par
tally successful in immunizing monkeys
by the use of vaccine prepared from
dead germ cultures.
Praised by London Physician.
Contrasting with the Medical Asso-
citation criticism were words of praise
for DR.. Falk from DR.. David Thompson
of London, who was quoted in an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch. DR.. Thompson
has been engaged in influenza research
for the past three years

Department of Hygiene and Bacteriology
of the University of Chicago, under
whom Dr. Folk worked, said, when in

assertions
Final judgment on DR.. Falk's work
can, of course, come only when the evl-
dence that he has gathered is available
in scientific journals to other workers
In the same field, and when cultures
of the micro-organism that he had OBJ
tanned can be experimental with under
a variety of conditions. His expert

CONCILIATES NEIGHBORS
Steps Are Taken With Baltic and
scandinavian Nations by
DR.. Zaunius,

KOVNO (P).-With Augustine Walde-
maras, the bad boy of European poll
tics, out of the government of Lithu-
ania. more conciliatory attitude has
been adopted by this country toward its
Baltic and Scandinavian neighbors.
Dr. David zaunius, the new foreign
minister. backed by Jones Tubelis, pre-
mier, has initiated negotiations with
Latvia and Estonia. He hopes to work
out pacts that will give closer economic
and cultural relations with these neigh
borS.
Most significant, however, are the
plans for working agreements with the
Scandinavian countries. Swedish capi-
tai has recently granted the treasury a
loan of $6,000,000 and the Danes have
invested large sums in financing bridge
and railway construction, besides sup
plying long-term credits on agricultural
machines and blooded cattle.
A policy of gradually extending to-
bacco production has been adopted by
Spain. through royal decree.

of the American Medical Association in

nouncement in Chicago that he had
discovered the germ that causes in

Der of the influenza commission, said
Yesterday he had not had the oppor-

"All l can say is that it is a very
thoughtful piece of work, whether he
has found the germ or not" added DR..
Parks, who is director of the Bureau
of Laboratories of the New York City
Department of Health.
DR.. Parks said the report was sup
posed to have been submitted to the
influenza commission before it was re-
leased for publication. but this had not

Selling merchandise, selling personal

Lindbergh, in his different flights to

The Prince of Wales has made jour-

The first requisite Of good sales
manship is confidence. Confidence in
your merchandise, if you are in the
mercantile business. If you are SELL
ing your personality, confidence in
yourself. A preacher is a salesman
he sells religion. The strength of the
church evidences the fact that the
preachers believe in what they have
to offer. If you are selling your town,
to be successful, you must believe IN
it firmly.
No town or community can be built
up by citizens who do not believe in
its future. Neither can it progress if
the citizen who is able so to do lacks
sufficient confidence to invest in sound
and substantial enterprises looking tc
the welfare of the town or commu-

The great mass of people want tc
