Plants get drunk on alcohol and

beings.
And they sober up or snap out
of the ether by physiological pro-
cesses identical with those evil
denced by man.
This has been demonstrated by
a series of experiments conducted
on tomato plants and the mimosa
by Prof. Wilder D. Bancroft and
j. E. Rutzler, jr., of Cornell Uni
versity.
The experiments were conduct
ed to check DR.. Bancroft's theory
that insanity and drink and drug
habits are the result of changes
in the colloid (glue-like sub.
stances) in the nerve cells.
He reasoned that what he be-
lieved is true of humans should
also be true for plants. as biolog-
lists long ago proved that nearly
all the fundamental physiological
characteristics of animals are pos,
sessed by plants.
Two tomato plants subjected to

the inteStineS when he was is,
which no one has been able to ex-
plain; attacks of govt at the age of
Sc and attacks of gall stone collie
at the age of 46.
1t seems likely that his attacks of
gall stone collie were to be associated
with overeating, for he was ire
mendous man at breakfast.
At that time it was - custom
airy to operate for the removal of
gall stones as it is now, so that for
two years he suffered the agony
and torture associated with this
condition and well nigh lost his life.
In the treatment he was restrict
ed severely in his diet, given hot
baths and opium for the relief of
the pain, and he received from his
friends, as he said, enough RENE
dies to set up for a quack doctor.
After several years of abstemiouS
living, including the use of various
severe purges, he eventually recov-
cred.
However, his health never was
fully re-eStablished and he occa-
sionally had further gall stone at
tacks.

The World Court After Ten Years

The World Court is celebrating the tenth ami
verSary OF the opening session for the transaction of
legal business. What judgment would an impartial
pass upon the record of its first decade?
In the first place, it is necessary to have clear
conception of the actual nature of the World Court
dhe Permanent Court of International Justice)
Many confuse it with The Hague Court of Arbitration
but there is no connection between the two except
that the World Court sits in the great Palace of
at the Hague.
The Hague court was created by The Hague con-
Vention OF 1899 1t is not permanent court at ALL It
is merely list of 1872 able jurisS of the world from
which disputing states may select arbitrators for
specific case. After the has been settled these
judges return to their homes
The World Court was created by article IA of the
League OF Nations covenant drafted just twenty years
after The Hague convention. 1t is made up of eleven
judges chosen by the council and assembly of the
League of Nations for term of nine years. 1t is
permanent court and its members are paid regular
salary of little $4,000 year. 1t is court of
law rather than of arbitration
Down to 1929, the work of the court was primarily
voluntary. Article SO of the statute of the World
Court offered participating states the option of giving
the court compulsory jurisdiction in all legal disputes
involving the Interpretation of treaties questions of
international law, or breach of international law
Germany the only state to sign before 1929,
but since that time considerable number of others
have fallen in line All states still may submit cases
to the court voluntarily.
The United States has not joined the court though
there have been three American judges in succession
the panel-John Bassett Moore Charles Evans
Hughes, and Frank B. Kellogg
In an interesting article on the tenth anniversary
in the New York Times, Clair Price has listed the
important cases to come before the court: 1.-THE
closing of the Kie canal to ships bearing munitions
in time of war, old Turkish concessions in Palestine
the reparations clauses of the treaty of Neuiy the
boundary between Yugo-Savia and Albania, the
powers of the Danube commission collision between
French and Turkish ships in the BoSphoruS, the
TurcoBritish dispute the boundaries of the osu
province of Iraq expulsion of the ecumenca patri-
arch from Consantnope the Savoy free zones on the
Franco-Swiss frontier, and the proposed Austro-
German customs union-aI have been grst to its
mill"
The World Court should in no sense be regarded
a safe buwark against future wars. Wars are
caused chiefly by political economic and psychological
factors. The court normally passes only legal
issues AS Judge Moore stated in lucid article
the task of the court to decide points of law not
prevent wars.
