Robert S. Bookings who died Tuesday in Wash
ington was than phianthropst. He also was
a pioneer in new field of practical economics.
There need for a bridge between the univer-
sity and government In some states like Wiscon-
sin and North Carolina, partnership had been grow
ing between state universities and state capitals But
no such partnership had been effected at the nations
capital until Brookings set about 70 create it.
Brookngs institution was welded decade ago from
the Carnegie Institute of Economics and Graduate
School of Economics and Government. founded by
Brookings 70 train young and for public
service.
Under its roof today gathered both students and
seasoned economists, endowed and dedicated to the
ideal of better government-ocal, state and national
Unhampered by partisan influences, these experts
explore all sorts Of governmental problems which arise
to plague the nation. OF late of the Brookings
men have become kind of unofficial third house of
congress- giving their in the fields in which
they specialize to baed senator's and representatives
working out legislation.
As our society grows complex government will
require more and more of such expert assistance
Laws can not be made or administered by good in
tentions alone.

Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE reason we make such slight Roadway in i'm
proving the children is because we tell them SO
many lies.
We have pretty theories we repeat to them which
we never show the slightest signs of believing our
selves. The of which we are most fond is that
1t makes difference whether you win or oSe it is
how you play the game that counts.
just when We have succeeded in getting this into
the heads Of our offspring, send them to college
and they become interested in football
Thus our efforts ruined. 1t might be better
If we abandoned the teaching Of this idea to begin
with, since in the end, it only proves to them our
essential dishonesty.
For we set the fashions in behavior for youth and
when the alumni of a great university like Notre
Dame begins to howl at the first defeat after long
his voice to the refrain And how the game is played
on the football field has very little to do with our
complaints If we lose.
PERSONALLY, believe it would be wiser to stop
fooling the kids with our noble adages, at least
until we believe them ourselves, which seldom do.
Nowhere on the globe is success worshipped as
in the United States. And how man plays the
game is of small consequence to the crowd We de-
mand that he get to the top regardless of how many
unforunateS he trampeS underfoot upon his journey
Football as it exists, long have believed, is bad
rather than wholesome influence upon the lives of
the students 1t does not as we persstenty say teach
them honesty. 1t assigns too much Importance to
spectacular victory.
1t is not sport in which all students NAV take
part. 1t has grown into a commercial racket kept
up mind you, not by the colleges themselves but by
the unreasonable demands of their graduates all of
whom seem to have developed stock ticker complex

half million descendants.
Doctors identify the germs that
cause disease in various ways. First
they take some of the material from
the infected saliva or from. the dis
charges or from the blood of the
person who is infected.
They examine this under a micro
scope. The germs are seen as little
round dots, or as rod-shaped organ
lsmS, or even as long, slender. fila
ments. when they are greatly mag
nif1ed under the microscope.
Like human beings, the germs
tend to live preferable in certain
forms, sometimes two together,
sometimes a group of many, some
times a chain.
Some germs are surrounded by
capsules, usually a sort of fatty en-
velope that enables the germ to re-
sist attacks in the body or in the
blood of the animal it invadeS.
Other germs have little tails like
fins which enable them to move
about.
There still are people foolish
enough to talk about the germ the
DRY. Germs are no more a theory
than are plants, birds and other
living things that live and repro
duce.
The power of most germs to cause
disease can be tested on animals.
When the germs are injected into
animals they produce changes in
the tissues of the animal which are
specific for the germs concerned.

A pneumococcus in the lung of a
man produces pneumonia with first
e. consolidation of the lung due to
invasion by red blood cells and other
material and later a Softening OF
this mass and a clearing up OF the
lung if the patient lives.
When the typhoid germ gets into
the human body it produces ulcers
in the intestines and germs are
found in the ulcers.
When the meningococcus gets on
to the Innings of the spinal cord and
brain it sets up an Inflammation of
these Innings, which are called
meninges, and then the person has
meningitis, which means an inflam-
nation of the meniges.
When the spinal fluid is examined,
the germs can be found in the fluid.
After all, these tests, which were
developed by the great Robert Koch,
constitute the acid tests for deter
mining with certainty tina any germ
is associated with the production of
a certain disease.
If the germ can be found in the
injected tissues, if the germ can be
artlt1cially grown outside the human
body, If the germ then can be in
Jected into an animal like the
monkey and produce in that animal
a condition like that in the hui
man being from whom the germ
was originally taken, it is the cause
OF that particular disease.

Will be willing to grant that the
germ actually causes the disease.

Notes Tell Nothing

IT would be ridiculous for the
l. United States to take definite
stand regarding any phase of the
war debt situation with no more
by which to be guided than the
notes thus far received.
Those notes contain nothing save
a cautious request for time and
revision.
Before committing itself to any
thing, Washington should insist on
knowing how much time and what
kind of revision.
Neither the government nor the
people of this country can form an
intelligent opinion of what should
be done until they have been given
precise information on these two
points.
Some of us think that European
governments could pay if they
would. Some of us think otherwise.
None of us knows very much about
it.
With confidence badly shaken
throughout the civilized world, we
realize the danger of forcing any
nation to default. For the same
reason, we hesitate to modify con-
tracts, unless it is necessary.

moved by the best Of intentions
when he invited President Elect
Roosevelt to a conference. 1t places
both men in a somewhat anomalous

Under existing conditions, it would
be unwise for the outgoing and in
coming chief executive to formulate
policy with regard to war debts,
even if theirs we're the right to
do so.
European governments have not
stated what they want, except in
the most general terms, but are
proceeding on the assumption that
they can get Washington to out
line program which they will be
at liberty to adopt or reject.
That is just stall, which Wash

Their Decline

A T this time, the nautiloid was
IN the favorite child of evolution.
Just as man now rules the earth,
and just as the gigantic dinosaurs
ruled it during the Age of Reptiles,
so the nautiloids dominated the
ancient sea.
No creature in the ocean was
match for them. They reached
their highest development in the ge-
illogical periods which followed the
Cambrian, namely, the Ordovician,
Silurian and Devonian.
But their day of triumph came to
an end. During the Carboniferous
period, the period in which much of
the land was covered with swamps
of dense vegetation which in time
formed the present-day coaI-bedS,
the nautiloids began to disappear.
Just why is a mystery. The
Smithsonian Institution, which has
one Of the worlds largest collections
of nautiloid fossils, recently has
added DR.. Augustus F. Foerste to
it's staff.
DR.. Foerste, one Of the foremost
authorities upon the subject of nau-
tiloids, is beginning a study Of the
Smithsonian collection.
He points out that at the time the
nautiloids began to decline, small
but very active shark made its APP
pearance in the oceans.
/ He thinks that this shark, By
feeding upon the eggs and the
young Of the nautiloids, eventually
brought about their decline.
The decline of the nautiloids
made it possible for true fish to
dominate the oceans and thus the
way was cleared, so evolutionists be-
lieve, for the line of development
that brought the amphibian, the
reptile, the mammal, and finally
present-day man.

SCIENCE.
by DAVID DIETZ-

Nautiloids Once We're Domt-
nant Form of Life Upon
the Earth.
TO-DAY. three or four species Of
4 the shellf1sh known as the
pearly nautilus are found in the
South Pacific and Indian oceans. A
relative known as the paper nautilus
is found in the Mediterranean.
Looking at them, one never would
guess that their ancestors we're
rulers of the world. Yet biologists
have evidence that their forerun-
ners, known as nautiloids. once were
the dominant form Of life upon the
earth.
That was some 50O,0OO,OO0 years
ago, when the most important forms
of life still were in the seas and the
creatures Of this earth were just
beginning to learn the trick OF liv-
ing on land.
The pearly nautilus also is known
as the chambered nautilus. AS
readers will recall from the old
famous poem by Oliver Wendell
Holmes, the nautilus builds spiral
shell divided into chambers.
AS the nautilus grows, 1t builds
new and larger chamber, moves
into it, and seals up the old one.
Thus the animal is always to be
found in the largest and outermost
chamber of the spiral shell.
The body of the nautilus bears re-
semblance to that of the octopus
or squid. In fact, all these crea-
lures are grouped by the scientist
under the general name Of "cepalo-
pod
The nautilus has numerous small
tentacles arranged in groups.

Rise of the NautiIoidS

THE nautiloids first made their
i appearance on earth at the
close of the geological period
known as the Cambrian. That was
about 600,000,000 years ago.
The Cambrian period marked the
start of the Paleozoic era, some
times called the era of Ancient Life.
At the beginning of the Cambrian
period the seas we're swarming with
life, but the scene was quite differ
ent from that furnished by the
oceans today
True fishes and various forms of
shellfsh are the dominant forms
of life in the ocean today. But in
the Cambrian seas the shellfish
were small and few in variety. while
true fish were very tiny and ex-
ceedingly rare.
The chief forms Of life we're
crawling scavengers, the forerun-
ners of the Holsters and crabs of to-
day, known as trilobites.
The trilobites are extinct today,
the creature most nearly resembling
them being the horseshoe crab. In
The CdIIlDTldH peIlOu d SLSdV variety
of trilobites developed.
Some had legs adapted to SWIM
ming; others burrowed in the mud.
But toward the end OF the Cam
brian period, the nautiloids became
the dominant form of life. The first
ones which appeared seemed to
have straight shells, but later forms
with spiral shells developed.
Some Of them had shells almost
a foot in diameter at the large
end and ranging in length from ten
to fourteen feet.
AT the larger end of the shell was
the creature itself with great eyes,
2 horny, powerful parrot-like beak
and long powerful tentacles like
those of the octopus.

When men are motivated by hate

thing and swing endlessly between
the Republican and Democratic
parties, like earthbound spirits.
There is no point in saying any

pected. It will be three or four
times as large as the vote polled four
years ago, but it still is distinctly a
minor party matter.
Both Socialists and non-SocialistS
are inclined to be critical. They
are inclined to blame the leaders of
the party and its tactics. AS mat
ter of fact, I blame the voters. 1t
seems to me that great masses of
people still go into the booths with
only the vaguest idea of what they
