Toxin and AntitOxin

This is the fifth Of series of six
articles by Dr., Fishbein on the pre-
vention and treatment Of dipntheria.
EEW people understand the diff

toxin, and toxin-antitoxin. When a
horse is injected with a poison
which diphtheria germs develop,
he develops in his blood sub
stance which opposes the poison
of the diphtheria germ. The poi
son is called toxin.
The material in the blood which
opposes the poison of diphtheria
is antitoxin. If a child does not
have enough of this antitoxin in
its blood to overcome diphtheria
infection, the physician gives it
antitoxin to help it.
IF child has been exposed to
diphtheria, and it is necessary
very promptly to give it something
to help it ward of the disease,
antitoxin may be injected.
However, this antitoxin does not

SCIENCE
Buy Astronomy Books
BY DAVID DIETz

ZACH year, for several years,
LII have attempted, in the
weeks between Thanksgiving and
Christmas, to play the role of
scientific adviser to Santa Claus
by recommending books which
would make suitable Christmas
gifts.
My own observations, confirmed
by many lectures and teachers
with whom have talked, is that
public interest is greater in
astronomy than in any other of
the sciences. Therefore, I shall
speak of books of astronomy first.
Good books on astronomy are
not published with the frequency
of novels. On the other hand,
they are not as ephemeral as
many novels.
Therefore, I shall go back over
a period of several years to pick
out my recommendations.
Let us begin with an excellent
popular general astronomy, THE
Pageant of the Stars" by Willem
j. Luyten, assistant professor of
astronomy at Harvard university.
1t was published in 1929 by Dou-
ble-Day, Doran & Co.
1t is written simply enough to
provide a splendid introduction to
the subject of astronomy for the
adult or high school student, who
has no acquaintance with the
subject.
On the other hand, it is COM
plete enough to interest all stu
dents of astronomy and to serve
as useful reference book. 1t is
excellently illustrated with many
fine photographs and a consider
able number Of diagrams.

Every Day Religion
BY DIR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

TITO be serious is one thing; to
l. be solemn is another. Often
the two are mistaken, the one for
the other, but they are very diff
ferent and may be far apart. A
thing may be awfully solemn and
not serious at all, because it is
stupid and absurd.
All of us know the solemnity Of
ignorance, of prejudice, of sancti-
moniousness, and how flippant
they are in fact. Every hoary
old humbug is solemn, even fu-
nereal, and needs only a tiny
thrust of serious thought to
prick it.
The really serious men of the
world, the men who think out
great issues and carry heavy loads
seldom are solemn; they are
cheerful. No man ever was more
serious than Lincoln. no man
more anxious to get the exact
truth, to do the exact right; none
more heroically candid, more low
ingly just, or more responsive to
the highest duty.
Yet Lincoln hardly was able to
ges through an hour without tell
ing a funny joke, which Softened
the tension of his labor and sweet
ened the air about him.

1T was Oliver Wendell Holmes
Il who wrote the stately hymn,
Lord of all being throned affair.";
but the same hand wrote "the
one-horse shay, built in such a
logical way that it ran one hun
dred years and a day"-together
with all the bright wit and fun
linked with his name.
Mark Twain was terribly in ear
nest, even sad, but, because he
was not solemn, no one took him
Seriously-to his disappointment
and disgust.
No, solemnity is no sign of truth
or wisdom or righteousness; it
may even be a token of empty
sham. AS Sidney Smith put it,
people often solemnly imagine
themselves pious, when they are
only bilious, or be looked upon as
devout when they are merely NOR
bid.
To droop the mouth and dull
the eye and shake the head not
seldom brings the credit of sane
tity, but they may be proof posi-
tive of mental 1aziress or sheer
vacuity.

The Country Speaks

THERE can be no doubt that
l. the country is dissatisfied
with prohibition, the foreign
policy, the tariff, and taxation.
There can be no doubt that the
country desires prompt and eff
fective action along well-under-
stood lines with regard to all
these matters.
There can be no doubt that the
country expects the old admins
tration, as we'll as the new one, to
heed its wishes.
It expects no obstacles to be

Electron to GalaGy

nR. SHAPLEY in his excellent

molecule, the crystal, meteors,

stars, star clusters, star clouds,
and galaxies, and finally super
galactic systems.
The book is a thought-provok-
ing work, sure to fascinate all
those interested in problems of
modern astronomy.
One Of the greatest figures in
the world of astronomy is that Of
George Ellery Hale, organizer and
first director Of Mt. Wilson OBJ
servatory.
DR.. Hale, now honorary direc-
tor Of that institution, is the in
Ventor of the spectre photograph
and other important astronomical
instruments.
From time to time, DR.. Hale
turns his hand to popular writ
ings, giving in simple language,
sfirst-hand accounts of important
advances of modern astronomy in
which he himself was associated.
In this fashion, he has pub
lished four books, each Of about
100 pages, during the last ten
years.
The latest is Signals From the
Stars" published in 1881 by Serb
ners. 1t consists of four papers,
titled The Possibilities Of Large
Telescopes" Exploring the Solar
Atmosphere, signals from the
Sun" and Building the 200-inch
telescope.
The book is Of high interest to
all those who wish to keep abreast
the latest developments in big
telescopes and in the study of the
sun.

protect for long period of time.
1t must be remembered that it
has been elaborated in animals
and not in the patients own body,
and that therefore its effects wear

OF course, if a person has diph-
liberia, the antitoxin, when in
jected, helps to overcome the dis
ease and when the person recov-
ers he has developed in his own
body his own antitoxin, which is
one reason why no one SENS to

No Time for Stating

BELIEVING all this, the coun-
- try is in no mood for the
brand of politics which usually
characterizes a lame duck session.
Why should the Republican
minority stall, or the Democratic
majority delay action?
With a right spirit, much can
be done to help the country be-
tween now and March 4, while
nothing can be done to change

the partisan lineup which will
take place at that time.
The country has suffered
enough. 1t not only wants action,
but along the lines indicated by
its recent vote. 1t wants its Off
Gals to forget party affiliations
and work for the common good.

custom both here and abroad to depict all
