 Questions of Vital Interest

the intelligent interest which our campuses are taking in politicaI questions"
 In the Midwest, the Purdue Ex- p0nent declared: "Purdue's re- sponse to this poll will show whether Purdue students do think. or whether they just do not both er."
 Further west, William Phipps. editor of the Oregon Emeram,
 "urges all Oregon students to an- swer the questions appearing on the ballots according to their true convictions, to gain an accurate cross-section." In the South. the University of Alabama, Crimson and Wnite' opened its olumns to students to debate the conflicting opinions on the poll questions. The Daily Texan interviewed prominent lead- CTS of undergraduate organizations l in order to stimulate discussion or the poll questions.
 At Queens University in Canada, student mass meetings were neio to debate the issues raised in the Peace Ballot. The University or Chicago Daily Maroon conducteo a
 
 symposium on the poll.
 At Brown University, Editor Amos Landman got President Car ence A. Barbour and other officials and faculty members of the uni- yersity to. answer and comment on the questions in the Daily Herald.
 Campaign Consistent
 In description of the tremendous drive to stimulate discussion and understanding of the questions on the Peace Ballot, Editor Tom Lane wrote in, The Dartmouth: "Never
 before in this nations history have college newspapers waged so con- sistent a campaign against war. Regardless of why they believed wars were fought, or by what methods they could be avoided, every undergraduate editor seems to agree that the wholesale mass murder of young men is a shock ing indictment of our present civ-
 ilization. Nearly all of them are still healthy-minded enough to contend that the serious and CO., operative effort of these young peo- pie can aid materially the move ment to remove the cause for wars from the earth" In these editorials from the col- lege press of America, the spirit Of the Peace Ballot has been caught
 and expressed-by both its critics and its supporters.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

WHEN you find a suspicious-looking hair on
w the shoulder of your husband or sweetheart,
you take 1t TO a hair specialist and learn e&-
actv from what person that hair came.
OF course YOU would have to 60 around TO all the
women YOU suspect and pluck hairs from their
heads for comparison. but with that teH-tale mar
matched with the sample hairs the modern mar
specialist identify the Culprlt without hestltaton
Such Identification would be based on the recog-
nizeu fact that no two persons have the same type
of hair Police make of this helpful fact IN
criminal Identification.
Human hair varies greatly on account OF the
different shades that it may assume. the changes
that take place with age and the different parts of
the BODY from which the hair may happen to have
come
WHEN YOU look at a hair under the microscope
w YOU will find that it has three layers, a CEN
trail an inner and outer layer. The central area
Of the human hair Is narrow and differs from that
Of the hair of any animal except the chlmpanZee
and the gorilla which are apes very to man.
In the apes the coorng matter of the hair is nearer
TO the center than 1t is in man.
In white or gray hair the pigment cells or color
ing matter. is absent. The hair of the beard, the
muStache and other portions of the body has
broader center than the hair of the head
When the medico-legal expert examines hair he
tries TO answer five questions Are the hairs human
or animal? If from an animal, what animal? If
human hair. is II male or female? From what part
of the body did the hair come? About how old was
the person from whom the hair came?
MOT long ago there was a chsrlatan. with hair
~ tonic for sale who advertised that he would
diagnose the trouble of any person whose hair was
falling cut. If that person would pluck out few
hairs and send them TO him
Members of the bureau Of investigation Of the
American Medical Association took some hair from
girls with gorgeous locks like those of the seven
Sutherland sisters they took hair from two fur
coats. they took hair from a horses tail and dyed
some thread that it would look like hair.
The specimens were sent IN from a lot of differ
ent addresses. In every case the same fern letter
came back informing the queStioner that he or she
suffering from malnutriton of the hair roots
We knew those time-payment fur coats had NAL

OF course. the charlatan never examined the
hairs under the mlscroSCope, or he could have
guessed what was being done TO him.

Critics have spoken as if the Abyssinian adven-

tive of Mussolini On the contrary think he had
no choice in the matter. FasClsm in Italy had

ton OF devotlng his time to writing biography of
the great medical pioneer, DR.. William H WEIGH.
who served for many years president of the board
of the Rockefeller Institute
few years ago, his brother Dr. Abraham Flex-
ner resigned secretary of the General Education
Board of the Rockefeller Foundation to take the
less strenuous task of director of the Institute of
Advanced Study the institution at Princeton, N j..
to which Prof. Albert Einsten is attached.
No history of American medicine will be COM

trbution made by these two men of vision The
Rockefellers performed service for the whole world
when they gave the two an opportunity to put their
ideas to work.

buttons personally to the progress of medicine In
1913 he isolated the germ of infantile paralysis.
Previously he had identified the germ of spinal
meningitis. He has worked also in the field of yeow1
fever and bubonic plague
Under DR.. Flexner's able leadership, the Rookie
Teller Institute exercised profound influence upon
the whole trend of modern medicine DR. F1exner
surrounded himself with many able whose names
will go down in medical history, the great Japanese
scientist, Noguch, the Nobel prize winners Carrel
and Landsteiner, and others.
DR ABRAHAM FLEXNER, primarily an edu-
~ Gator exerted his greatest influence upon medi-
cal education. A survey which he made of medical
schools in America and in Europe convinced him
of the need of recognizing American medical
schools
John D Rockefeller Jr, approved of the plan
and asked Dr. Flexner how much money he wanted
for the job. He said S50OO0000 Told that only
S15,000,000 available, he said he would wait.
In few months another $l5.0000O0 were made
available He still waited Soon after, he got the
sum he4santed.
