OF course. it may be said in reply that we know
the past while the future is shrouded In ooupt.
That is hardly an argument likely to sway any man
who ever showed his whole stack in before the
fifth card was dealt But in addition, it is state
ment not wholly true. First of ALL do we reaIly
know the past? You may read or hear speech IN
which the orator of the evening says that we nave
no need of new-fangled notions and that we should

possibly roar approval of these statements
But do they make very much sense? Is II actualy
true that the methods which availed early agrlcu-

dustrialzed civilization?
And I would say even beyond this that many VINO

of our forefathers have very slight knowledge OF

ME eventual discovery of "biochemical atoms
Il that is, atoms Of lfe-is predicted by Professor
Edgar j. Witzemann of the University of Wisconsin
He points out that the astronomer finds the solar
system organized into system Of planets, revolving
around the SUM- The physicist finds the atoms of
matter organized on a similar scheme, with each
atom possessing a central nucleus around which
electrons revove just the planets revolve around
the SUM-
These electrons are fundamental particles Of
electricity. We find series of graduations in the
universe therefore. At the start we have the cleo
irons which have been called the atoms of cleo
tricity; these, in their turn compose the Of
matter.
The atoms of matter compose what might be
called the atoms Of the universe the stars the sun
and the planets We have, therefore, an ascending
scale of organization from the eecron to the mighty
star. Living creatures are no exception to the rule
of organization. The fundamental unit of the living
organism is the cell.
All organisms, both plants and animals, are COM
posed Of the microscopic units called cells.
THE study of cells reveals that they possess a
Il complex organization of their own Most living
things, both plants and animals, began life as a
fortified egg cell. By a process of division the cell
mutplies as it grows becoming two then four, then
finally billions.
Each cell reveals definite structure Within the
CELL there is a denser spot known as the nucleus
Within the nucleus is network of fbrous material
known as the chromatin network.
During the process of cell division, this network
breaks up into little rods called chromosomes Each
chromosome splits lengthwise in two that when
the cell has become two cells each one has exactly
half Of the original chromatin material
The chromatin material is composed of smaller
divisions known genes The work of Morgan at
Columbia and other experimenters has shown that
the genes the carriers of heredity.
Professor Witzemann feels, however that the gap
between the atoms Of matter and the details Of cell
structure is too large He believes that TO explain
the behavior Of the cells parts, must look for
intermediate organizations. These would be the
