there was any basis for tho long- established popular belief that the circulation of money bears Q close relation to the spread of bacteria For years mothers had been Snateh- ing pennies from tho mouths of their babies with vivid pictures in mind of the load of communicable diseases which the coins had Ae- cumulated in their journeys from one purse to another. It has often been stated that money is Q very dangerous article of commerce inas- much as 1t Is handled by oil sorts of persons, It has been widely be- lieVed that cashiers, and other per- sons whose daily tasks require that they handle money In large quan- titles, might Dc more susceptible to disease than other people.
 The results of the tests of the Illi- noiS scientists dlSpfovea oil popular beliefs aS to the guilt of coins aa heslth hazards. They made Q series of tests during which the coins used were examined for bacteria. Only the most resistant bacteria, the spore-formlng type, were found to survive, indicating that metallic money need not be feared as bae- teria carriers, because they cannot live long on 1t. The scientists con- eluded that, instead of faStering the growth of germs, the metals used in the m4ntlng of coins, tended to de- stroy them, and that cashiers run no greater risk than persons h other walks of life.
 DTS. Ward and Tenner also OK. ainined postage stamps which have somewhat the same relation to the public as money, although theiv constitution is quite different and they are used but once and are not passed from hand to hand like coins It was thought the glue on the stamps might haFhor mice.organ- isns for relatively long periods oi time, It was found upon investlga- ton that pathogenle bacteria were rarely found on stamps.

GLACIER PRIEST HELPS
 ARMY IN ALASKA PLANS

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (P) = equipment d developed by the Rev Bernard R. Hubbard, S. j., in many years of exploring the Far North such as packs for dogs that enable the animals to carry sIXty-five pounds all day and still Wag their tails'-has caught the eye of the Army.
 The famed Alaska explor r has offered the Army his specially bred pack dogs and new light weight equipment for use in de- fense of the Far Northern front lsr, and Army officers are show ing keen interest.
 65-POund Load for Dog
 The dog pack was developed on the Glacier Priests" last ex- petition. The pack is slung across the dogs back and is cinched with breast and belly straps. A load of 65 pounds-.quivalent of soldiers full pack-can be div lded into bags on each side.
 "A dog can carry 65 pounds comfortably all day and still wag his tail,' the Santa Clara Univer Sity ge0logist said.
 On Father Hubbard's Alaska trips each of his six or seven dogs carries 2,OOO feet or so of motion picture film.
 Army officers, among them Col. H. L. White of the Ninth Corps Area headquarters and several from the Quartermaster Corps. were advised by Father Hub bard to use pack dogs exclusive ly in Alaska in place of sleds.
 "A dog can swim and climb. J he pointed. Any place a man can 9o' a dog Will follow. But you're stuck with a sled when the going ! gets rough"
 Father Hubbard has developed a blue-yed pack dog which has strains of bulldog, wolf and New foundland. They're raised in g ranch near Chico, Calif., by the explorers brother, Capt. Johr Hubbard, U. s. A., retired. The priest has offered these to tht Army for Arctic work.
 Among other equipment deve oped by the "Glacier Priest" ar. alpaca-lined jackets of a light weatherproof fabric for use by United States soldiers, trouser, of waterproof linen lined witt kapok, fawnskin boots and i; stormproof tent that sleeps eigh and weighs but nine pounds.
 T h e ensemble emphasize! warmth, strength and ightness.
