PROMINENT CUGGENHEIM
 pASSEs ON
Eighty Year Old Cap itdIisf Dies at Fifth
 Avenue Home

NEW YORK, Nov. 15. Murry Guggenheim, 81, capitalist and member of the famous copper mining family, is dead. He passed away at his Fifth Avenue home after an illness of several days and is survived by his widow, Mrs. Le- onie Bernheim Guggenheim, son Edmund, daughter Lucille who were at the bedside, and three brothers.
 Guggenheim organized the firm of Guggenheim and Sons in 1881 and then merged it's smelling and refining branches in 1901 with the American Smelling and Refining Company.
 Names Suggested
 In the neighborhood of Wall Street, the name of Murry Gug- genheim for decades suggested cop per, silver and Chilean nitrate, the stock in trade of the famous family firm of which he was a member.
 Farther uptown, the name meant band concerts on the mall in Gen. tral Park on hot summer nights.
 All over the city, it suggested the dentists office to hundreds of thousands of school children who could not afford the services of a private practitioner.
 The millions of dollars with which Murry Guggenheim and his wife endowed their dental clinic and other charities and helped sup port the Goldman band concerts, came from one of Americas great family fortunes, founded by Meyer Guggenheim, a Swiss immigrant, and enlarged by his seven Ameri- can-born sons.
 Murry Guggenheim was the third of those sons, born in Philadelphia August 12, 1858. He entered the firm of M. Guggenheim's Sons when it was established in 1881, and re-

Protozoa, or first animals, are the
simplest form of life. Their number
is so vast and their distribution SO
wide that they are most important
factor in nature, forming the food
supply for valuable food fish, like
oysters, clans, crustaceans and
young fishes. They are of such
value that we could not do without
them, yet so small are these crea-
lures that they cannot be seen with
out the aid of a strong magnifying
glass.
The protozoa are extremely simple
in structure and one-celled. Even
so, they play the part in some cases
of valuable scavengers, and in some
instances they cause disease. Ac-
emulation of the millions of their
countless shells sometimes forms
layers of chalk.
Perhaps you have heard some
thing of the amoeba, one of the
very simplest of these creatures. 1t
