CHICAGO, Jan, 9-R-World
wide discussion among medical au-
thorities follows the latest report OF
Identification OF the germ Of in
fluenza, announced at the Uniter-
sity Of Chicago.
This germ long has been sought
ana there have been other hopeful
reports previously.
DR.. ISadore S. Falk, 3O-year-old
professor OF bacteriology at the
University OF Chicago, Il standing
on the report he made TO a scien-
tliic society at the university: tina.
he a definitely isolated the germ.
The next step, which should 90
far toward settling the discussion.
is to use the germs to seek reme-
dies for FLU. The nature of the
remedies will depend on what i
learned Of the manner in which the
germ causes the disease. particu-
larry whether it Is by secreting a
poison.
Influenza Is said by some stu.
dents to be one OF the Oldest dis
eases known TO man.
Hippocrates studied it and
thought It came from the atmos-
phere.
DR.. j. J. Walsh declares that
there is a great deal of evidence to
show that 1t was the plague which
swept the Greeks as they set out
for Troy.
Noah Webster wrote q two VOL
ume work on influenza after a long
study Of its history. Webster, like
Hippocrates. thought that It WAS
produced by atmospheric conditions,
particularly by electrical influ-
ences" following volcanic eruptions,
comets. earthquakes, "or other such
phenomena"
The position Of the planets. also.
might have some relation to It,"
Webster snid.
Emmanuel Kant, the great mathe-
matician and philosopher. also
made an Intensive Study Of the dis
ease. The name Influenza which
is taken from the italian for IN
f~luence," was not formally be-
slowed upon the disease until 1882,
and its choice indicates that the
older theories OF atmospheric ana
planetary Influence" were accept
ed to some extent at that time.
Webster records a long series or
epidemics Of influenza. extending
from tn year ii74 to his own day.
At the end OF the eighteenth CEN
fury a worldwide epidemic is re-
corded which swept successfully
over Siberia. Russia. China. India,
Finland, Germany. Denmark. Swe-
den. England Scotland. ne Netber-
lands. France. Italy and Spain.
The Great Plague Of London IN
i664-5 Is said by some authorities
to have been an epidemic of viru-
lent influenza. During this epidem-
ic nearly half Of the 10000 people
who remained in the city during the
time 1t was rampant died.
1t was estimated that 100000
persons in the United States ana
10000. 900 the world over died dur
ing the wartime epidemic OF influ-
enza and other diseases which "f7u
weakness" brought on.

A similar tactical defense Of the
old land office building has been
worked out, but the state executive

POWER IN SUNLIGHT
USE is PREDICTED
Physicist Describes Plan
FOreseen for Day When
Coal Is Exhausted.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 12.-Dr. Rob-
ert A. Millfkan, the physicist, said today
that science already knows enough to
outline a method Of getting power out Of
sunshine
co6I and oil sources are exhausted, in
an address before the Association of Life
Insurance Presidents.
He said one other possible continuous
source of energy exists in hydrogen from
sea water, but with no knSWn way OF
using it.
Ser the past century" he said, "men
have been using the sunshine bottled in
coal and oil in by-gone ages, and this
reserve will do for us and our children,
but what then? The answer IS here, and
it is not hopeless one.
BountifuI Energy in Sun.
at is this-there is enough energy
sent us each day by the sun fer all our
needs, those present now and those
reasonably in prospect, and without CALL
ing upon stored-up supplies of anv kind.
Two modern counties in our latitude
receive fr1 m the sun in day a. much
heat as is produced by all the coal
burned in "a hours throughout the world.
Further. we now know enough al
ready to be able to outline the main
IcethOdS by which to 60 TO work 10
Utili26 this inflow OF sunshine. 1t cannot
be done without work or without brains.
That. alone makes It worth doing. But
it is only an economic reason that pre-
vents US from utilizing sunshine di-
rectly now. We are not likely to utilize
1t appreciably so long as coal and oil
and gas are as abundant and accessible
Rs now.
There is but one possible continuous
source Of energy other than the sun,
the utilization of which does not involve
a violation of physical principles which
have been so thoroughly established
that no physicist doubts them for mo-
ment.
Process Is Described.
at is this If it were possible that
the hydrogen in the water of the sea
could, by any process whatever, be
made to combine on the earthS surface
with helium, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen,
silicon, ETC., energy would be released
in enormous quantities by these acts
and no violation of the principle of the
1iShed thermodynamic laws would be
involved in this process"
Evidence Of cosmic rays, he added
indicates that this cannot take place on
earth.
He sketched a future in which
science will almost indefinitely in
crease the satisfaction of human wants I"
Science, he said, creates more jobs than
it destroys, adding:
I'm the long run expect science, or
better, the method Of science, to 60 a
long way toward solving the unemploy-
ment problem"
