trouble for the first time then
when Joe DiMaggio got his first
hit of the game. A double. PasSeau

New Discoveries of Science Which May Lead to Cures
for Colds and Other Battling Ills of Man

The old rules are gone and
we must have new ones about
what constitutes things living
and things non-livinE, Perhaps
biologists will some day say that
living things are not completely
at the mercy OF their environ
ment, whereas non-liV.ng matter
has. a totaltarian subsection TO
external surroundings. Thus a
non-living mass of protein rolls
down a hlll due 20 the laws of
gravity, but a living mass Of pro-
TEN a bacterial can have in
dependent motion Of its own as it
does in disease"
BY Or -Grainger's picture, WINS.
molecules are truly at the border
line between the living and nom
living. The virus, most times, is
completely at the mercy of its
environment. Then, it is nom
living.
But when the virus gets into
the right kind Of cells in the body
the molecules can move about.
reproduce themselves and behave
like living things. The virus, it
appears, is the one thing which
can pass over the borderline of
life with complete ease.

ghosts" OF bacteria. Some
scientists. he says, believe that
viruses have not always existed
but have arisen from bacteria by
a kind of evolution lin reverse"
where they have become para
sites having the function Of bac-
terra without the bodily form.
Bacteria cause disease, as
everyone knows. Viruses can
cause disease, too. but they need
no bodies" as do bacteria 10
create their poisons. Viruses
seem like ghosts with. only the
poisons remaining; poisons which
can breed more poisons. Here
indeed are disease ghosts bring
ing real disaster TO health in
stead of imaginary tragedies of
ghosts in dreams.
DR.. Edward c. Rosenow of the
Mayo Clinic can demonstrate. too,
that viruses and bacteria seem 10
be only different forms Of the
same thing and that one can pro-
duce the other. For some time
now he has been finding bacteria
associated with virus diseases like
infantile paralysis.
Recently reporting 20 the So
ciety of Psychologists at Chicago,
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-05-25

Or. Rosenow told how he had
grown streptococcus germs lob
tanned from victims Of infantile
paralysis in sterile culture
media. After a period Of growth
he found that the germs turned
into a virus form. When he in
jected this germ-made virus into
monkeys they came down with
infantile paralysis. Monkeys inn
mune TO natural infantile paraly-
sis were immune. also, TO his
experimental virus.
All such new work as that of
DR.. Stanley on viruses - which
are chemical molecules that obey
the laws defining bfe-has made
the biologists throw out the win
dow their old ideas Of what con-
stitutes living and non-living
things.
DR.. John Granger, noted
scientist of the Tolson Memorial
Museum at Huddersfield, Eng
land, has recently given science
a new picture of life by setting
up new standards Of what con-
stitutes the living and the dead,
inanimate matter
