were still English, retaining their
English pride of race, their English
spirit of initiative, their English
philosophy of living"
His Explanation.
In explaining why Southerners
retained their English heritage,
Prof. Cotterill cited conditions and
circumstances of settlement.
THE Southern settlers" he said,
cleft England without bitterness
and arrived in America without
hate. No appreciable percentage of
them had been subject to persecu-
ton in England or had suffered
from dire economic stress They
wanted to remain English, and once
arrived in America they made such
concessions to their new environ
ment as they must, but held reso-
lutely to their English manners,
their English customs and their
English ideas.
mot only did they want to re-
main English but they were able to
do so. For they had brought no
inferiority complex in their lug
gage. They arrived unbeaten and
unbroken. They had not been run
out of England. They were not
refugees or fugitives fleeing from
a political. economic or religious
battlefield while the battle was in
progress. They retained their Eng
lish initiative and self-confidence
and retained. too, their English feel
ing of superiority to all those other
people whom later English poet
was to classify as lesser breeds
without the law

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 30-Evo-
luton of life on earth has been a
continuous process of taking on
extra baggage.
Experiments with the smallest and
supposedly simplest of organisms
on the invisible edge of the living
world were reported to biologists
of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science here today
by DR.. John w. Gowen of Iowa
State College. The organisms were
the f1lterable vnuses responsible for
the mosaic disease of tobacco. They
are similar in size and properties
to the almost infinitesimal living
things which cause some of the
most serious maladies of men and
animals. They are alive, DR.. Gowen
said, because they have the major
property distinguishing the living
from the -living-the capacity
to reproduce.
These viruses, 1t has been demon
strated. are essentially very large
protein molecules, but far too small
ever to be seen under the most
powerful microscope. DR.. GoWen's
experiments consisted in measuring
with X-rays the amount of the
substance of these viruses which
could be killed or injured without
stopping the reproductive capacity.
Cell Division Process.
For the mosaic virus he found
that practically seven-eighths ofsthe
entire organism was necessary for
the cell division process which con-
stitutes reproduction in this primi-
tive organism. This is its sole busi-
ness in the world.
DR.. GoWen then measured in the
same way the bodies of bacteria,
the smallest living things known
before the discovery of the viruses
The average bacteria, however, is
thousands of times larger than the
largest virus, although it still con-
sists only of a single cell comparable
to any of the countless billions of
cells making up the bodies of higher
plants and animals.
Here he found that less than one
tenth OF the whole substance was
necessary for reproduction. The
other nine-tenths was simply sup
porting and protecting material,
presumably accumulated through
millions of years of evolution. The
higher organisms might be consid-
cred as vast conglomerations of lust
such cells under some sort of central
control.
One Vital Capacity.
SO Tar as nature is concerned the
one vital capacity is that of re-
production. Hence, DR.. Gowen said,
1t must be concluded that evolution
has been only a process of adding
to the reproductive part of the or
ganlsm protective substance which
is OF no vital significance"
The body Of the virus apparently
constitutes the smallest body in
which the extraordinarily complex
chemical mixture necessary for self
continuation could be squeezed. The
time when the protein molecule
reached this complexity, in the ooze
OF the primeval ocean. thus can be
considered as the beginning of life
itself.
A warning that the basic formula
OF science, transferred to the world
OF human relations, may lead tc
disaster was stressed before the as
ISOLATION today by Prof. Ivey F.
Lewis OF the University of Vir-
ginia.
Science, he said. operates on a
"tacit agreement to assume that
everything is spatial and therefore
within the possible reach of the
senses. BY use of this method mans
comprehension of and control over
nature has constituted verita ble

Economic Committee, better known
as the Monopoly Committee, de-
clared that monopoly was only part
of the larger problem in the hands
of the committee-"that of estab-
fishing and increasing consumer
liberty"
He dismissed the charge that there
was conflict between Government
and business as nonsense.
Picturesquely he charged that
those who would raise the issues of
survival of capitalism, regimentation
of business, dangers of Nazi-ism and
socialism were simply drawing a
large but stenchful red herring
across the trail of American prog
ress." Bank deposits, he pointed
out, had reached a new all-time
peak in America.
Adam Smith, the famous philoso-
pher and economist, he said, was
still far to the left of most econ
omists and New Dealers" If he had
his choice between making new laws
or repeating old ones, Mr.. kreps
said. he would repeal the old ones,
but added: Il would not repeal the
ones the Chamber of Commerce
wants repealed
Edward w. Carter of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania told the same
session that the transportation in
dustries must look to another ad-
ministration" for accomplishments
of benefit to the railroads which
the New Deal could have effected"
but did not.

Sees Trouble for Japan.
Senator Thomas. in Far Eastern
round table discussion, warned that
Japan could not afford to antago-
nize three of her neighbors, China,
Russia and the United States
Eventually, he pointed out, Japan
will have to satisfy public opin-
ion' in these three countries.
For many years it has been ap-
parent to students of the Far East"
he said, that If China succeeded
in her nationalistic endeavor of
driving out the beneflciaries of her
unllateral treaties-that foreign
control ultimately would be repre-
sented by fewer states and probably
by one. Japan is now reaping the
sum total of all anti-foreign move
ment of the last two or three gen.
erations." he added, land in addi-
ton she has assumed this position
as a sort of obligation not to the
rest of the world but primarily to
herself. In many ways the war in
the Far East is the harvest of the
whirlwinds resulting from past SOW
ings.'
Senator Thomas suggested both
Japan and China should study mot
tllt technique OF the west, which
they are following today, but turn
to their own theory and techniques. -

About Constipation,

is get at its cause. That way you

Chances are you won't have to
look far for the cause if you eat
the super-refined foods most
people do. Most likely you don't
get enough bulk! And bulk"
doesn't mean a lot of food. It
means a kind of food that isn't
