SUBDUING MICROBE ARMY
IS PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE
Invisible Things Most Danger
Gus, Says DIR. Peters in Address

! GUS, says DI. SlcTS Ill AuuTeSS
To subdue and conquer the vast
army of microbes in the world, was
the problem of the people of the earth
as presented by DR.. w. w. Peter, New
! York City, in his address Of more
than an hour before the Oakland Ro-
tary Club and its guests at the meet
ing Of the organization held last Fri
day evening at which time also the
new dining hall of the William-James
Hotel, well appointed in its several
departments, was opened and used
for the first time DR.. Peters address
was on "Mastodons, Man and Mi
crobes."
'Mastodons have persisted and been
swallowed up by the EARTH other
animals have been conquered by men
in the light of dawning intelligence,
but the most dangerous things Of all
to human life have not been subdued,"
Dr.. Peter said, land until this has
been accomplished human life and hu-
man destiny in this life will grope in
the dark, therefore science and all
that it can command is being used to
conquer and destroy the life-taking
of the millions of microbes we do not
see and cannot see unless placed I'M
der magnifying glass, and then the
revelation is startling, for the trained
eye of the scientist and student Of
medicine sees many forms Of animal
life that are appalling and startling"
The speaker was highly entertain
ing and interesting throughout the
entire time required to deliver his adj
dress and illustrated certain points
with anecdotes laughable but to the
point.
DR.. Peter, of the New York Health
Department, came to Oakland with
DR.. R. II. Riley head Of the Maryland
