$50, 900 Educational Push

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 90
While federal enforcement agencies
are making preparations for their
most supreme effort to enforce pro-
hibition effectively, President Her
bert Hoover is seeking to balance
his law enforcement commission so
it will deal with all laws and not
single out the dry act.
President Hoover regards the en-
lorcement of all laws as vital.
Nevertheless, the chief difficulty
III the law enforcement situation
arises from the prohibition laws.
There will be no sporadic drive, ;"
but more acute subject of discus
sion here than anywhere else, due
70 the general feeling that Hoover
is going to put the law to its SUI
Drc,ne test.

Capital Tightening Up"

Evidences of a tightening up are
-ecn everywhere, from the restric-
lions thrown around the importa-
ion of diplomatic liquor and the
separations of the prohibition
bureau for educational activities and
expansion of personnel down to the
new drastic paddock order of the To-
cal police department.
The $4,000 educational campaign

PRETTY GIRL
AIDS in FIGHT
ON FLU GERM

CHICAGO, Dee. 16. UP)-The
germ that turned out to be the first
known influenza-causing microbc
picked a golden haired, twinkling
eyed young lady in which to make
bis temporary home.
For more than year, before the
epochal discovery and isolation of
the germ from her blood stream by
Dr. lsidore S. Falk, so year old I'm
iversity of Chicago professor, and
afterward when proving tests were
being made, Miss Ruth A. Mckinney
lived hermit's life.
"She just lived for her germs"
her students said of the modest and
matter of fact young bacteriologist,
who chose to isolate herself in the
interest of science and humanity.
"Shc gave up all social life"
ooh, we all did" protested Miss
Mckinney, "evcrybody worked tire
lessly, forgetful of time, comfort,
appearance or reward"
She termed her attack of influenza
a year ago which led to the discov-
cry of the germ "a most fortunate
coincidence" The attack was
brought ON by the strain of working
some 10 hours a day over a long per-
lod, eating when she could find a
few minutes free.
