OUR FRIENDS INSIST ON RESIST

Several years of study, observation
and research served to convince the
conductor of this column there is no
such state as resistance in the COM
mon sense of the word Immunity is
we'll defined and in some instances
measurable state and of course it APP
plies to a specific disease. The state
of resistance as commonly con-
ceived does not apply to particular
disease but in a vague way in many
or all diseases.
E.. S. contributes this to the SYM
postum:
We, the s. family, read
your articles daily, discuss them,
and derive much benefit from
them. We desire to submit the
following with regard to the re-
SiStance-i immunity discussion:
IMMUNITY: Safe from attack,
protected against disease by a
natural or acquired popularity.
Immunity is condition of the
body wherein it resists the de-
velopment of morbid processes.
RESISTANCE: A temporary
pOWtI w Wdlu OIL Vi IcIdIU Vic
development Of morbid process.
If it were physically impossible
for an individual to acquire any
particular disease, then we would
say that individual is immune to
that disease. We would classify
the condition of being immune
as 100 per cent. Then any de-
gree of resistance would be below
100 per cent, say from 80 per
cent down to zero.
Then w. R. o. jumps in while we
are temporarily winded and remarks
To my small mind it seems that
il person is only partly immune
that in itself implies there must
be some sort of resistance. Either
that is true or I do not know
enough about the English Ian
guage to understand the meaning
of the two words.

TRANSPORT WHIPS SUbS
On July 8, 1918, a transport ship
returning to the United States from
France was attacked by eight German
submarines In the Bay of Biscay. Out
numbered as the ship was, she sue
ceeded in escaping the subs and in
sinking one of them. An accompany
ing destroyer escort sank another.
French forces, strengthened by
American reserves, and heartened by
previous successes, staged strong
attack on the edge of the forest of
Villers- Cotterets, and broke through
the German lines on a front of about
two miles.
Australians, too, had a successful
day, carrying their lines forward
along the Somme river for depth of
600 feet along front of about a mile
and half.

eagerly. "You wanted me?"
The woman on the pillow raised
her eyes. They were brown eyes,
SO much like Cherry's. They looked
dark now against the pale face.

said gently. "Cherry-come here

asked. I'll do anything"
The sick woman smiled. She
raised one slim hand to touch the
girls hair. Cherry" she went on

FIVE BILLS ASK
SHORT WEEK

At least five bills are before
House comm. tees, seeking to re-

eral employees.
One is the bill III. R. 27D in
troduced some days ago by Rep
resentative Fitzpatrick. providing
for "a 4O-hour week. for Govern
ment workers of all classes. This
bill, however, evidently failed to
take into account the fact that
large percentage of Government
workers already work less than
40 hours a week.
Four practically Identical bills
asking specifically for five-day
week are, with the above measure,
introduced and awaiting action
by the House Civil Service Com
mittee. They were introduced by
Representatives John w. McCor-
mack, of Massachusetts, (H. r.
5494; Augustine Lonergan. of
Connecticut III. R. $500; John

GOODWIN 5 BILL
MEETS MIXED
RECEPTION
Measure Proposes to Appor-
ton Local Civil Service Jobs
on State Basis

The proposal of Representa-
tive Godfrey G. Goodwin (R.)
of Minnesota to bring all the
600 Federal positions in
Washington under the State
apportionment law, is meet :
ing a mixed reception on Capt.
tol Hill.
Goodwin's bill (H. r. 4564)
would have all local jobs appor-
toned out by States according to
population, which measure now
applies only to $4,000 positions
here. The bill would include all
departments and all other
branches of the Government, and
would affect transfers, promo
tionS, reinStatementS and Teduc.
tions as well as appointments.
All to Be Classified
Another point in the proposal
Is that all employees would be
classified according to their civil
service status, and the Civil Ser.
vice Commission in it's annual
report each year would have to
list all employees, apportioned and
unapportioned. showing their
work and salaries.
Included in the bill is a pro-
vision. that ex-Service men and
women and permanent civil SER
vice employees from States whose
quotas are in arrears, who have
been discharged by reduction of
force, be restored to duty "aS
much unemployment exists in
those States"
If reductions are to be made in
any department, residents of the
District of Columbia, of Mary.
land, and Virginia, and other
States whose quotas have been
exceeded, shall be dropped.
Complexion MOttied
The bill, which will be taken
up for consideration by the House
Civil Service Committee after the
first of the year, has a mottled
political complexion. Residents,
and politicians, of States behind
in their quotas will favor the
measure,
