got bit of kicking around by beautiful lady on
New Yorks city hall steps. introduced her to sing
"The Star Spangled Banner" at bond rally. She
did and laid up huge supply Of echoes all by herself
When she finished the first verse and chorus she
smiled sweety and said
"Now, want you all to join in the last verse"
thought to myself, there's lady who likes to sing
all alone Not person in that audience of 10000 patriots

The pretty lady sang the last verse in loud

mute trout at twilight.

Still, IL cannot be denied that

The staggering sums that are
being handled daily at the race
tracks OF the East are a reflec-
ton Of the inordinate amount Of
gambling that is going on. The
first argument of those opposed
10 a lottery is that il encour-
ages the gambling spirit, but on
the actual statistics of racing
and the close estimates of the
money the public is putting in
numbers games, and in other
forms of illegal lotteries il is

that the money necessary 10

These phage particles cause

the germs they attack. How
ever, they are themselves easily
destroyed by the blood, by
white blood cells and by the bile

Hence medical men doubted
that an internal use Of any
phage is really effective.
THE Harvard scientists in
Il vesugated in the following
way:
They obtained some samples
of sewage of New York City.
In this they found some bac-
teriophage. When this phage
was fed soup containing some
shiga type of dysentery causing
germs, the phage turned into
the destroyers of this particular
germ.
Now, white mise were used
for tests. Injection of shiga
germs into the brain of the
mice caused a fatal sickness,

However, when the newly
prepared bacteriophage was in

the blood stream the mice were
