One Of the mightiest Of the
microbe hunters in the history
Of medical science, a pioneer
in the field to modern bacteri-
ology, is Robert Koch. His Ca
reer is marked by brilliant sue
ceSSes and dismal failures, by
epochal discoveries and spec
tacular blunders. His discovery
of the bacillus of tuberculo-
sis is, perhaps, his greatest
achievement. But he commit
ted an amazing blunder when
he announced that the tuher-
Gle bacillus Of man and the
OK are wholly distinct, the lat
ter being innocuous to man.
Reg ~dless of success or fail
ure,. triumph or defeat, Koch
was always a tireleSs, painstak-
ing. researcher. His patience
was almost inexhaustible; and
it was by reason Of this very
patience, along with cautious
procedure and accurate deter
mination, that he was enabled
to effect his most beneficial
discoveries. An extremely mod
est man, Koch never drama
tized himself as a great origi-
nator, the leader in a mighty
battle against the invisible
hordes of microbes. In the
hour of his greatest triumph,
he spoke with refreshing mod
esty Of his achievements: II
have worked as hard as I
could. If my success has
been greater than that Of
most. the reason is that I
came in my wanderings through
the medical field upon regions
where the gold was still lying
by the waySide. And that is
no great merit"
Robert Koch, a typical Ger
man, was born in Hanover,
Prussia, on December IL, 1843.
He received his medical educa-
tion at the University Of Goet-
tingen, and after graduation
became an inferno in an insane
asylum in Hamburg. For a time
he engaged in medical practice
in various PruSsian villages. at

The daStardly attempt to be-
smirch, vilify, and condemn the
actions of the legionnaires at

unjustified and contemplate.

If the American Legion Is SO
terrible, why IS it that States
vie with one another to secure
the American Legion ConVen-

Massachusetts, outdid itself in
its desire to entertain the vast
army Of legionnaireS, for which
our comrades are deeply crate

the Bostonians.. God bless them
for their thoughtfulneSS and
