10000 GERMS

Housewives who carefully wash their
drinking glasses and then invert them on
an unwashed tray rarely realize that the
rim will pick up 100000 bacteria but the
American Public Health Association says
this is the truth.
Among the residents on the edge of
the glass, ready to touch the lips of some
human being, may be organisms of pneu-
monia, tuberculosis or influenza, even
though it has just been washed in the most
approved manner.
Safe dishwashing, says DR.. James G.
Cummings, is to take the glasses from the
wash water and put them in a rinsing
dish, which may contain either ITO degree
Fahrenheit, water or water containing a
solution of hypochlorite.
We believe all this but, nevertheless,
we doubt if many housewives of the coun-
ty will alter their own glass-washing pro-
cedure. There is no urge for them to do
so if they are willing to take the risks that
come from possible infections.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Another investigation of alleged pro-
fessiOnalism in college football is said to
be imminent, owing to a request by num-
Der of college presidents who have COM
planned of the subsidization of players by
rival institutions. The Carnegie Founda-
ton, which conducted a similar investiga-
ton seven years ago, has been asked to
undertake the task again. = an
The report of the former survey dis
100 colleges was subsidized, and it is said
that the situation improved considerably
as a result of these disclosures. In the last
two or three years, however, it is declared
that professionalism has become more
widespread than ever.
College football has been so COM
mercialized in recent years that the prob
lem of keeping it on an amateur basis is
most difficult one. Human nature being
what it is there is little likelihood that any
satisfactory solution can be found. And
even if no solution is found the heavens
probably will not fall -
The enormous crowds which attend e 4
the major games Indicate that the GUS
toners are not greatly concerned over: the
charges of professionalism. They will CON
tinue to flock to the stadiams whenever
there is a prospect of seeing a good show,
1t would be better sport if professionalism
could be eliminated, of course, but no one
has been smart enough to devise means for
accomplishing that end.
STILL professional Investigators must
have something to investigate, so they
may as well investigate professionalism.

DEMOCRACIES FEAR WAR

them to run Europe, directly and in

France and Britain dislike helping

any struggle against the Fascist nations.
The responsibility of carrying nation in

THE ONE BIG CHURCH IDEA

An idea that seems to have played in
the minds of religious leaders for GEN.
turtles revolveS around the reunion of all
the Christian churches into one, great, big
church.
1t is, apparently, taken for granted
that if we can get all Christians into one
church we will really have Christianity.
We presume to doubt it. The only
universal church that will ever do this
world. or any other. any good is the church
that grows in the hearts of men and wo-
men. Forms, ceremonies and organiza-
tions are insignificant unless they develop
Christianity in the character and lives of
people.
