This enables many students otherwise unable to continue their studies, to carry on their college and graduate work.

new theory concerning poliomyeli-
tbs, commonly known as infantile para
lysis, has been advanced by DR.. Edward
c. Rosenow, head of the experimental bac-
teriology division of the Mayo Foundation
at Rochester, Mimi, who declares that this
dreaded disease is not. contagious.
He believes that each victim contracts
the disease independently from some
source of infection containing strepto-
coccus germ, such as he has found in the
pollen of goldenrod and ragweed, as well
as elsewhere.
His theory is partially confirmed by
the well-known fact that usually only one
Ct a family of children is stricken. In the
rare cases in which more than one of a
family is attacked, the circumstance may
be explained by the probability that each
came into contact withia similar source of
the germ about the same time.
DR.. Rosenow further points out that
children in isolated country communities
are more likely to contract the disease than
city children. Constant contact with other
persons in cities tends to build up an i'm
munity against disease, he believes.
The fact that DIR. Rosenow is one of
the most famous psychologists in the
world gives weight to his theory It was
he who in 1916 first isolated the germ be-
lieved to be the cause of infantile para
lysis.

USE NAvIEs FOR PEACE

Now that the naval powers of the
world are about to start a race in the
building of capital ships and other vessels
OF war it becomes apparent that the end
In view, regardless of pretensions, is the
expectation that they may be needed for
protection in time of war.
Admittedly, warships are built for
lighting. Can they be used for the protec-
ton of peace? We believe that this is pos
sible and that if the great naval powers
get together restate the principles of trade
unseltishly and police the oceans of the
world that peace may be with us for many
years.
In other words, although we share
completely the hope of remaining aloof
from the quarrels of other continents,
there seems to be no valid reason why the
navies of those countries interested in
peace and the spread of international
commerce should not take steps to guar
antee that no land-grabbing power finds it
profitable to interfere with the peaceful
intercourse of other nations.
This would not of course, remove the
danger of war where bitter hatred exists
along a common border but it would have
potency in many seas and might be the
means OF preventing the spread of war
dare fromso continent to another. 2e

notion that the government, whether
