This malady, phenylketonuria, was
discovered only year ago in Nor
way, but apparently has been in the
world unrecognized for some time.
Already investigators Of the Galton
Institute in London have found 10
cases in England and an even larger
number are suspected In theg United
States.
Once person is born with it, there
is nothing to be done. Scientists
of the Cation Institute are trying
to find some way to prevent victims
OF the disease from ever entering
world where they are doomed to
low-grade feeble-mindedness and
probably a mercifully early death.
1t is undoubtedly hereditary, said
DR.. w. H. Grace of the Galton Insti-
tute, who is trying to find with which
one Of the "a human chromosomes
phenylketonuria-and, incidentally,
an equally dreaded disease, Hunting
don's chorea. and various types of
allergy causing hay fevers, etc.-is
linked up. The parents of victims
of phenylketonuria usually are per-
fectly normal persons on the surface,
he said. Children are born with an
inability to metabollze certain pro-
teins which are necessary for the

hereditary basis in the United
States, according to report by DR..
Robert c. Robb of Rochester, N. Y.
DR.. Robb analyzed the records of
the Strong Memorial Hospital in
Rochester to determine the Incl
dence Of genetic defects among per-
sons of all ages and conditions ad-
mltted there. In all he considered
more than 100000 patients treated
there in the last 10 years.
THE most prevalent disorder of
presumably genetic etiology." he
continued, was arteriosclerosis, OBJ
served in approximately 5000 indi-
viduals. There were 1900 tumors,
omitting those without any genetic
basis. Next in order come 5000
hernias, 1850 hemorrhoids, 1,750
diabetes, $500 with gall bladder
disease, l40O cases of extreme
obesity, 1900 of goiter divided into

Genes Similar in Size.
The genes, ultimate units of
heredity in plants and animals, ap-
parently are very similar in size,
structure and behavior to the almost
enthusiastically minute "viruses,"
responsible for some of the most
deadly of diseases, it was reported
to the congress by DR.. j. w. Cowen
OF the University of Iowa.
These viruses, different types of
which deal death to both plants
and animals, formerly were con-
sidered the most minute of living
organisms, just on the line sepa-
rating the living from the non
living. Three years ago one of them.
that causing the mosaic disease of
tobacco, was first isolated in crys-
talllne form at the Rockefeller In
stltute and, DR.. Cowen pointed out,
has opened up to science new vistas
in the hitherto impenetrable bio
logical realms of the infinitely little.
His evidence showed that the ulti-
mate life units of more complex
organisms are at least very similar
in their fundamental reactions and
the viruses might almost be con-
sldered as anarchist genes, unwilling
to form cooperative societies such
as have led to the evolution of
higher forms of life.
A difficulty of studying genes.
found in every cell of the plant of
animal tissues. DR.. CoWen said, is
that they act not as individuals, but
as a society. 1t is practically i'm
possible to determine what any one
of them would do out of the cell
society of which it forms part.
The tobacco mosaic virus also

The hereditary link of a new and

Bankers and State Aids.
A. E. GUsTAFsoN. County Supt.

When a man works for wages he
is usually paid at the end of the
month. His charge accounts, not to
exceed wages earned and payable at
the end of the month, are not con-
sidered to be Gin the red"
So it is with school business. Prac-
tically all state aids are paid on the
basis of equipment, standards, at
tendance, census and expenditures of
the previous school year. These aids
are payable only to the districts earn
ing them. These aids are paid to
these districts at from four months
to nearly one year after they have
been earned. In the case of the trans
portation aids consolidated school,
isolated, crippled child), also the sup
Elemental aids, classification aids, Ii
brary aids and special department
aids, the school district must pay out
definite amounts of money which is
replaced by the state, all or in part, at
later date. No state aids are paid
in advance or ever have been.
1t so happens that school districts
that desire these extra services and
desire to qualify for these state aids,
usually find that, during period of
few months Cup to six or eight
months, while waiting for the state
, aids earned) the school warrants
must be registered by the treasurer,
for lack of cash on hand, and will
draw the legal rate of six percent
interest (annuaD until called in for
payment. They are not Sin the red"
as they have state funds earned and

about six months behind on payment
of warrants. More than 80 percent
of the money comes from the state.
Many other Pine county districts
are from three to six months behind.
If state aids had been paid off at
80 percent instead of only 81 to sc
percent during the past few years,
most of our Pine county districts, in
Guiding the unorganized district,
would be on cash basis. None of our
Pine county districts, except Clover
ton and possibly Markville, due to
its bank failure, can be said to be
actually Gin the red," because state
aids earned, (due and forthcoming)
cover the annual expenditures in full,
except in few cases of extra and
necessary repairs and improvements.
Then along come the state bank
ing inspectors who now apply the
general new Federal deposit law rules
and tell some of our Pine county
banks that they cannot carry some
of these school warrants that are
backed by the state aid school funds
and laws. There seems to be lack
of cooperation or information on the
part of the State Banking depart
ment. Would it not be possible for
our local Pine county bankers to Sc
cure better cooperation from that
department? This is good construc-
tive business. We also need state
aids in full.
