Women's Needs Emphasized.
Working women were not repre-
sented in the hearings on the bill
creating the department, and their
specific needs were not stressed. But
the need and the value of specialized
activities in their interest were DEM
onstrated during the war. Accord
ingly, a demand arose for the con-
tinuance Of the functional unit of the
emergency war organization In the
department that was serving the needs
of working women. Responding to
that demand, Congress enacted law
in 1920 creating the Women's Bureau
as the fifth statutory unit Of the De-
partment Of Labor.
Radical changes have occurred dur
ing the rs years with regard to i'm

grants was terminated by the war and
by the succeeding quota acts, and
since then the attention of the de-

marily on perfecting the machinery

however, there remains the perma-

These are the conceptions which
guide the Department Of Labor. It

Much State legislation has been
passed in the interest of wage earners
since the Department of Labor was
founded. This has been particularly
true since the department inaugurated
national and regional conferences in
1884 to assist labor and State labor
departments in their efforts to i'm
prove labor laws and their adminis-
tration. Improvements in State labor
legislation in this period include:
Minimum wage in 13 States: the 48-

in seven States; curb on issuance Of

Editor Spikes Idea of Germ Warfare;
Likens Current Cable to Propaganda

Rumor had it, during the World
war, that the widespread epidemic
of the fatal so-called Spanish infiu-
enza was Of German origin. The
story was that the Germans had
promoted this disastrous epidemic
and, to prevent the world from
knowing of their deed, had drawn a
red herring across the trail by dub
bling the disease Spanish. It was
neither German nor Spanish; the
rumor was simply propaganda, ac-
cording to the editor of Scientific
American.
Today, he says, there are many
people who talk of bacterial war
fare with as much credulity as those
who were duped by wartime rumor
mongers. Recently there was a dis
cussion of germ warfare in the Ger
man military publication, "Duetsche
Wehr," based on a report of an Ital-
ian medical officer. Apparently
some Germans and Italians are
studying the possibilities of the
method as paralyzer of the
enemy's morale.
Talk of germ warfare became so
insistent during the World war that
the League of Nations later set up a
commission to study wholesale con-
tagion and infection. The commits

The beautiful purple dye, known
Of old, has eluded the dye-makers

can make nothing of the strong
and durable cement used by the
Greeks and the Romans in their
walls. This cement was stronger
and harder than the stone itself.
The knowledge possessed by the
ancient Egyptians was very ex-
tensive. They had a method of
dressing stone to withstand the
ravages of time and weather. They
also perfected the art of embalm-
ing. Probes, forceps, and other
surgical instruments have been
found in Egypt. For what pur-
pose they were used we will new
er know.
That secret, along with many
others, passed away with the de-
struction of the famous library at
Alexandria in the Fifth century.
The loss of the knowledge con-
tanned in that library was blow
