FINDS Influenza GERM
Dreaded Microbe Isolated After
Six Year Search by Fourteen
at Chicago "U".

Chicago-After fourteen years Of
toll taking the germ of influenza has
been discovered and isolated by DIR.
Isadore S. Falk of the University of
Chicago. This momentous announce
ment was made before group of 60
students assembled at the laboratory
on the Midway campus.
The announcement was accompan-
led Dr. Falk's carefully worded state
ment that there is hopeful prospect
that an antitoXin for the disease will
now be discovered.
DR.. Falk's discovery, which imme-
diately makes him conspicuous world
figure among candidates for the next
Nobel prize, is the result of six years
of investigation. His researches be-
came intensive at the peak of the in
fiuenza epidemic in mid-December,
1928. The chief and his investigators
had to work 16 hours a day until JAN
uary 10, 1929, in order to study viru,
lent strains produced by the epidemic
at its height. On December %, 1928,
came the isolation of the significant
suspect.

marked on the humbleness of Bill,
how he worked to help with the
Christmas tree in Sunday school and
what a strange look came into his face
when he was questioned about his
sudden devotion to holiday Good Will.
But the three men never told what
they saw that night out on the water.

"HE village was set high on
tiny thread of a road winding
III across the face of a great ledge.
The houses looked like so many
leeches clinging desperately to safety.
Far below ran the great tides of the
Bay of Fundy. A fishing hamlet, full
of men who went to sea and left
their families behind them for days,
weeks and sometimes half of the
year.
At Christmas time many of the men
were home. They tried to be, for the
sake Of the children. But on Christ
mas eve Silas Bent bowed his great
shaggy head under the low door of
the post Office and declared to the sew
eral men who were standing about in
groups that he must go out to gather
in his nets. "Hate to do it," he num-
bled in his slow, easy voice; 'my wife
wanted me to stay home and help
trim the tree and do up presents for
the kids. promised her would, too.
But l can see storm brewin', and 1

Ware ousted From Senate Seat.

ashington-Wililam S. Ware, SEN
ator elected from Pennsylvania, was
unseated by the senate after a three
year fight having been permitted to
occupy the seat since the congress
met in regular session, and being pre-.
sent when the final vote was taken,
attended by his personal physician
who sat beside him. The vote stood
IS to % to unseat Ware. A few min
utes later the senate declared the
Pennsylvania senatorial seat vacant
by ruling that William B. Wilson,
Vare's democratic opponent was not
elected in the 1926 elections. This
leaves the seat vacant to be filled BY
appointment by the Governor. The
vote against Wilson was &c to Is. All
northwestern senators voted to unseat
Ware except Senator Thomas D. Schall
of Minnesota, who made plea in
favor of seating him, saying that the
senate had been swept off its feet by
propaganda against Ware.

1t Was Plain for All to See.

mind goin' out just because it's Christ
mas eve." There was something
scoffing in the one-a note Of amused
bitterness. "All this Christmas fuss
and fury don't mean nuthin' to me.
Just lot of DANCED nonsense, I call
it,"
There was moment Of surprised 81
lence. Several faces, yellow in the
glare of the kerosene lamp thrust for
ward out of the smoky darkness.
"What ails We, Bill?" asked a man
leaning on the counter. saint We
kinda glad to be ashore Christmas
time with your fOlks?"
"The folks is all right" grumbled
the voice, "but I'm blasted if l see
any use turning the town topsy-turvy
over bit of tinsel, tin horn and an
evergreen tree dragged out of the
woods where it belongs"
Silas Bent allowed this argument to
pass. 'T'll be glad of your help, Bill"
he said, quietly. "I'm goin' down to
the wharf now to push off. Well be
back in a couple of hours"
"Want any one else?" volunteered
another voice. 81 don't mind goin'
out, and We might git back sooner if
ye had more help"
"Thanks," said Silas. "Td be
obliged if you would"
The three men left the post office

steep path to the wharf. There they
climbed into a motor boat and pushed
off. Soon they were running steadily
out into the bay.
1t was a dark night with flying
clouds. The water was smooth save
for a heavy swell. Now and then a
star cleaned through the ragged edge
of a cloud, and then was instantly
lost. The dreary voice of the auto
matte buoy flOated across the bay
rising and falling in long, penetrat-
ing moan.
The motor boat was but a speck on
that vast, moving expanse of water.
The men talked among themselves.
Bits Of holiday preparation at home !;
mention of mince pies ranged in rows
on the pantry shelves, trip to the
nearest town to buy toys for the chill

most childish interest, poorly con-
cealed by casual manner.

Il kinda like to think of that first
Christmas eve and the shepherds, and

Bill grunted. 81 don't believe it,"
he said deliberately. 81 think it's a
put-up job by the ministers to fool
the people"
"See here, Bill" asked Silas anx-

man, "but I'm sick of the whole FUSS
