AUSTIN, Jan. 9-The national
wide discussion among medical au-
thorities follows the latest report Of
Identification OF the germ Of in
fluenza, announced at the Uni,er-
sity Of Chicago.
This germ long has been sought
y there have been other hopeful
reports previously.
Or. lsadore S. Falk. 30-year-old
professor Of bacteriology at the
University Of Chicago, is standing
on the report he made to a sclen-
tlfic society at the university: thai
he has definitely isolated the germ.
The mex step, which should 90
far toward settling the discussion,
Is 70 use the germs TO seek rene
dies for flu. The nature of the
remedies will depend on what is
learned OF the manner in which the
germ causes the disease, particu-
larly whether it is by secreting a
poison.
Influenza is said by some stu
dents 70 be one Of the Oldest dis
eases known to man.
Hippocratss studied II and
thought il came from the atmos-
phere.
DR.. J. J. Walsh declares that
there is a great deal Of evidence 10
show that II was the plague which
swept the Greeks as they set out
for Troy.
Noah Webster wrote a two VOL
ume work on influenza after a long
study Of its history. Webster, Ike

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 ffreat mathe-
matician and philosopher. also
made an Intensive sttdy OF the dis
ease. The name Influenza" which
is taken from the Italian for IN
fiuence." was not formally be-
slowed upon the disease until 1882.

been in flames in actual fact with

lenses against a possible fire there.
With $4,000. 900 Of cash and bonds

Texas declaration OF independence
and other priceless documents and
valuable papers; with records az
fecting the life OF nearly a dozen
people and the liberty Of 5000 more
and tax obligations OF 6,000.00 peo-
pie, the capitol building is one
against which carefully-thought-out
defense has been shaped.
Duties Defined
If a fire should break out in the
Capitol. every man in the Austin
fire department should have a clea--
cut picture OF his part il. fighting
it, a ready knowledge Of just where
he would move and what he would
do. all planned out far in advance.
A similar tactical defense Of the
old land office building has been
worked out. but the state executive
mansion. classed In Austin records
as a residence, has not been the
subject OF the fire department school

pal business buildings.
Know Buildings
The fire fighters are ready against
the day of a possible fire in the cap

and an intimate knowledge Of the
building and its equipment, would
enable the firemen 10 move quickly
and in perfect order 10 combat it.

Capt. Plat with his pumper,
would have a machine going that

reeled the hose and hooked up to
fire plugs IN and out Of the building.
Capt. Johnson's No. 2 truck would
be on the spot.
In the same two minutes, reports
