Soldiers Of Science Score Again

The soldiers Of science score again. To the long roll
brilliant with such luminous names as Jenner, Pastcui
end Koch Is added the name OF Dr.. rsadorc s. Falk, 80
year -old professor OF bacteriology at the University OF
Chicago. who seems to have successfully isolated the germ
Of the dread scourgc. influenza.
The discovery has been cautiously announced. Scien-
fists dread being pre- -inaturc in their conclusions. In
fluenza has been as devastating as war. It Is a big sub
ject to go wrong OIL. DR.. Falk studied. $500 forms OF

II Is to be noted. however. that isolation OF the germ
is the substance OF the Chicago discovery. No remedy
for the disease accompanies the announcement. The

Of this particular streptococcus was found to be a heated

Dr. Falk explained that there arc two general types
of dangerous germs. thosc which invade the tissues and
live inside them: and those which produce poisons which
get into the blood stream. The pleomorphic xtreptococcus

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
a ChlrOpodist Needed

Question: A. M. writes: II have
been troubled for the last few months
with the foot trouble known as
paptlloma. It has broken out In three
places on the ball OF my foot. Is
this disease dangerous? Will It de-
veloped into something serious? What
causes 1t. and can 1t be cured without
operation. Also. Is It contagious?"
Answer: Papilloma Of the foot can
usually be cured In q short time BY
treatment from q chiropodist. He
uses certain medicinal preparations
on the paptlloma, and often resorts to
surgery. Papilloma Is not really dam
gerous, and most Of its harm comes
from preventing one from taking long
walks, due to the discomfort pro-
ouced. It Is not contagious.
Too Mech Sugar
Question: Z. N. p. asks: rs sugar
harmful Il taken excessively? A man
a suffers with weak back. He takes
during the day "a spoonfuls Of sugar
In his tea or coffee-and then more
sugar with p~orridge."
Answer: Any kind OF food including
sugar Is harmful II taken excessively
and the man you refer to is certainly
taking entirely too much sugar. II he
keeps this up he will surely devotion
worse trouble than q weak back.
which Is probably now q symptom Of
some disorder developing because Of
his injurious use Of food Of such hich
caloric value.

Question: T. 8. asks: 'Wtll YOU
please advise me how often q person
could give blood transfusions in m

being injurious TO physical condi-
tions?"
Answer: Giving the blood for blood

difficult to diagnose his trouble, as
even the x-ray Is not always reliable
and It Is 6ifftcult todisttnguish wheth-
er the trouble Is from gall stones or
from inflammation OF the gail blad-
der.
Inflammation Of the gall bladder
may exist with or without gall stones.
The differenttal diagnosis between
the Inflammation or catarrh Of the
gall bladder and gall stones Is often
quite different and even q Graham
dye examination does not always
show the difference between the In
flammatory processes and the forma.
ton Of caculus masses Of stones.
Dietitic treatment for the two condi-
tions Is similar, however. so that an

the treatment does not always seem
necessary.

 AFTER HARD FIGHT
Chicago 01icsf Gllppla With
 ASlillns But k klltd

Chicago, May 23 lN = Detective Sergeant Joseph Sullivan, . member of the squad tracking | band of kid- napers who slew Police Sergeant Ray Martin a week ago, and the man who signed the omplaint charging Ma chine Gun" Jack McGurn with the massacre of seven gangsters three months ago. was shot to death on . west side street today.
 Two bullets had entered his head and back, his face was bruised and blackcned, and his coat was covered with asphalt dust from the newly paved street, evidence police said, that he grappled and matched fists with his killers.
 A member of Lieut.. William Cu- sacks detective squad. Sullivan and his mates had been assigned to the investigation of the septuple Moran gang murders on St. Valentines Day. Sullivan had signed the charges against McGurn at his chiefs re- quest. Police. however, were not in- clined to believe his life was taken in revenge for this act, for Sullivan was merely one of the squad.
 For several days Cusack's squad mas been seeking the slayer of Ser geant Martin. who was shot down by extortionists as he placed a decoy package for the ransom of Philip Blumenthal, Chicago. who had been kidnaped and was later released.
 Suilivan's body apparently was placed in the front seat of his car after the fatal shooting. He was 2S years old, single. and the son of policeman.

 Previous to the entry of the May queen. Robin Hood and his band stroll in and not being sure of their welcome, hid. Later Robin Hood. accompanied by Little John, asked of the queen for the privilege of al- lowing his foresters to entertain her. The sound of the horn brought his band with Will Scarlet and Maid Marion. They danced to and fro in a Morris processional before join- ing the group about the throne.
 Other events were Jester's Jig, Children's Morris dance. Hobby Horse and Jester, and Sellenger's Round. The last event was the re- cessional.
 Miss Ahlgren. in being selected as May queen. receives the highest honor which can be conferred by the student body. The choice is deter mined by a vote of more than e5O students in the junior and senior classes. She was selected over two 1 Hartford girls.
 After the vote was taken the result was kept secret and none of the stu- dent body knew definitely who the queen was until she made her ap- pearance. The coronation took place on the south campus of the school. Miss Ahlgren is a native of this city and gained her education here. She attended the old Burritt ele- mentary school, the Elihu Burritt and Central Junior high schools and the Senior high school. She was graduated from te last-named place with the mid-year class of 1927.

 The port Of Brest itself will recall tender memories-ita great old world ramparts. the arrival the de- barkation. tho end Of the ceaselesa vigil, permission to light cigarette. to laugh out loud. to become human once more without fear of attract. ing the lurking u-boat.

 The joy on arrival at Brest will never be forgotten. There was . grateful populace out to greet the first Americans. Even now. with many good and bad memories of the soldiers that roamed the port, hreat. seems to look with pensive eyes on that hectic picture of the past.
 Those millions who passed through Brest left it happy or sad. Some only passed through one way, and never returned. But that army of . million soldiers, which was far greater than Brest itself. was given a most unlovely introduction into the fair land of Brittany, by being camped in mud.
 Rain Free Days Scarce
 Of the calendar days in the year. it appears there are only dozen or so that are entirely free of rain or mist. It always rains in Brest, every day, if only for a few min- utes. Out of the northwest gate a good solid road leads the way to the camp at Pontanezen. These AtultV1IS 6lAJttu UteF lHlS FONu, glad to stretch out their legs, xo- ing somewhere.
 But the billeting meant the American doushboy's first step into that noble French mud. About three miles outside of the city. on an undulating farm landscape, these millions began churninE up the earth. Duck boards were laid down immediately, but the boards wobbled loose. The mud oozed up between them. around them and finally covered them.
