BRISTOL PASTOR CALLS FRIENDSHIP ESSENTIAL
Rev. Hubert Jones Believes Wa Would Have Been Avcrted IT
 Kaiser Had Friends.

The importance of friendship among men was discussed today by Rev. Hubert Jones, pastor of the Methodist church of Bristol, during tho regular weekly luncheon of the Rotary club at the Burritt hotel. He related several instances from his- tory where the lack of friendship in some great statesman's life proved to Ee fatal not only to himself but to his country.
 "Frendship is of vital importance in mans life," he said. Many in- stances in the history of nations might have been changed had friend ship existed among the important personages connected with the ad- ministrative and political machines. Kaiser Walhelm's life might not have been what it turned out 10 me, and there would never have been blood. shed, had he friend. who would pat him on the back, extend a cor. dial helping hand and talk with him in friendly manner. As 1t was the Kaiser had a host of generals, diplo- mats and the like fawning at hiA feet. but not one friend among them. Sentiment and friendship are the real flavors of life, and majority of men really successful are those who had an honest friend, who would help them in their troubles"

 Miss Ellen Wilkinson, labor. therc- upon said it i'll became "a lady who is herself q millionairess and can se cure for her children every possible care to oppose in effect the exten- sion in every possible way of 1na- ternity and child welfare services"
 Lady Astor took up the cudgel for her fellow conservative by asking: Would it not be as reasonable to say that because you arc not a mother you have no right to talk about children?"
 The chairman endeavored to close the incident but Miss Wilkinson ie- ciined to be still. Lady Astor's re- mark. she said, could be used against every man in the house.

 On Retiring Policemen

 Council members who say they will not vote for the proposition. advanced by the policemen consider the arguments advanced against the idea to be sound. The likelihood that a man who reached the age of G5 years may still be in physical and mental condition to carry out the duties assigned to him. together with the fact that man may not be in financial circumstances to fall back on half-pay, are the chief are guments used.

Sleeping Sickness
 Germ Is Isolated

Berkeley, Cal, Jan. A R-The University of California announced yesterday that methods of produc- ing the germ of sleeping sickness have been discovered by Dr. A. J. Salle, instructor in bacteriology and Dr. c. l.. A. Schmidt, chairman of the department of biochemistry.
 The importance of the discovery lies in the fact that the germs may now be incubated in sufficient num- bers to enable study outside the body of the disease they cause.
 Doctors Sallc and Schmidt at- tribute their success to the use of hemoglobin or washed red blood cells in the culture media in which the germs were grown.
 The germs have been grown be. fore by many scientists. including the late Dg. V. Noguchi of Japan who lost his life fighting sleeping sickness. The gems have been de- veloped in sufficient quantity to af- ford practical study of treatment oi the disease.
