Doctor Plotz expressed great admiration for the intensity of the work in American laboratories directed toward ci'tiibating these particular germs. Doctor Dochex of Columbia. according to the French scientists, has succeeded in Isolating the germ of the connm n cold In cultures and. incubators and has proved the possibility of Infecting humans with it. If the germ can be grown, which Is the next step. It Is very probable that an antitoxinjo the ordinary cold may be developed. in the opinion of Doctor Plots. As yet. there seems no accounting for infantile paralysis “We know how to take it and isolate it and infect others with It,” be said, referring to the actual germ, “but we do not yet know where it comes from. And we know how that the only practicable serum is the human convalescent variety—hr example, such as Governor Roosevelt of New York. , i i i " “"n GIVING ADVICE < ► and taking it < ► — — - < I By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK ’ , Emeritu* Dean of Men, I University of Illinois. < atftas— Parson Adams was giving very sage and perhaps ser -ible advice to Josepu

This is it: If a child is born In an airplane flying between two points, where should the birth be registered? Or supposing the airplane is flying over an international boundary, ho,w can It tie Mid which country it was born In? The attorney general of Manitoba, W. J. Major, was confronted With this problem in a most unexpected way, for' It appears Manitoba is a pioneer in airplane births. Some time ago a child was born in a plane while the rnotliM was being rushed to a hospital at the Pas. News of the event reached Belgium through the newspapers. Legal aut thorities there were designing laws to deal with Just this situation. They decided to consult Manitoba, and Mr. Major has a letter from the advocate of the general court of appeals at Brussels asking what locality was given as the birthplace. Be tnought the mother’s home would be the logical place, but wanted to make sure. The letter calls attention to the difficulty of determining the exact political division an airplane may be in at the time of a birth in the air. “Wett Point” of Air Is Opened at San Antonio San Antonio, Texas.—Flying training is now under way at Randolph field and the air corps primary training school, the government’s new “West Point of the air."

by the storm, of being swallowed up by fog, and a desperate fight to avoid being swamped on Lake Huron when the balloon settled to the surface of the wind-tossed water. “I left Cleveland at 8:30 in the evening with the wind blowing toward the northwest at ten miles per hour,”., Vanik said. “In ten minutes I was over Edgewater park and out over Lake Erie. I kept my location until I passed over Sarnia at 12:30 a. m. Friday. That was the last time I saw land until I came down six hours later. “After passing Sarnia, which I recognized by the lake traffic. I was above the clouds at ,1.000 feet. Fog closed in about me and I had absolutely no conception of direction or speed. Then it started to rain and finally it changed into snow. It was the most terrible blizzard I ever was in. “Ice formed on the basket. The bag became so heavy it was. brought low and I continually lost ballast in an effort to keep above the clouds. I came down to 1,500 feet, and the snow and ice which had formed on the bag fell off. The balloon shot up to 10,000 feet. From then on it was like that, five runs costing me ten bags of ballast.” Vanik sa d after hours of buffeting about in the blizzard, he came down thro; gh a 3,000-foot strata of clouds about 6:30 Friday morning and found water everywhere, then came his frantic efforts to reach land. “As 1 came down through the clouds I heard a roar below me. 1 thought it was a train, but when I got below the clouds I found it was waves roaring on the surface of the lake. I could see no land, nothing but water. “I saw a little island and let out mv drag rope to cut down my speed which was about 35 miles per hour. The rope dragging in. the water, pulled the bag down with a slap on the surface and bounced itjjack up into the air like a rubber ball. > “Fearing it would be wrecked. I cut the drag rope and the balloon shot up to 15.000 feet in nothing fiat." Vanik then came down through the clouds and saw an area of islands, water and peninsulas, in northern Georgian bay. “I threw out my two remaining bags of ballast in an effort to get as far

STEADY NERVE OF MOUNTAIN GOATS Not Easily Alarmed, and Expert Climbers. Long before Glacier park was thought of as a park I witched an old goat and her young kid on a little shelf near the Sexton glacier on the side of Going-to-the-Sun mountain, Dr. Vernon Bailfcy writes, in Nature Magazine. The kid was lying down and'the mother standing close against the sheer cliff at one side of the great glacier front. Suddenly a mighty roar took my attention from the bear track I was following and fixed it on a cloud of Ice spray rising from below the glacier as tons of ice broke loose and thundered down the sides of the mountain in a roaring avalanche. It shook rhe ground where I was, half a mile away, but the old goat, at the very edge of the ice-smoke, paid no attention and the kid did not ger up. Who could but envy the even temper of their nerves? Mountain goats are good climbers, strong and not afraid?* but any experienced mountaineer can go where they can. From below it often looks impossible, but I have followed many of their trails up cliffs that from below looked like castle walls and ways found foot room and away to get- from shelf to shelf. The great advantage o£/Ihese high cliff shelves to the is that no carnivore dares to attack them there. They have many enemies, chief among which are -man. coyotes, wolves, bears, wildcats and eagles. In national parks, where man is now the protector instead of the destroyer of mountain goats, the prowling coyote and the more powerful timber wolf still get a few when they come down at night to feed in the alpine meadows. Grizzly bears have /been found feeding on goat carcasses at timberline in early spring, but possibly only as scavengers rather than killers. Occasionally mountain lion and Canada lynx -tracks are- found up close to the goat ledges, ami it is a fair assumption that these big cats sometimes feast on the animals, as they do on mountain sheep and deer ■it lower levels. oV necessity the goats must come down from the high rocks, where they spend the day. to feed at night . in the little green meadows, and here lies their danger. Perhaps they would stay in these meadows if not alarmed, but at the first sign of an enemy they rush to the cliffs and are Soon again on safe ground. Eagles are known to kill, carry off and eat the young kids before they are large enough to defend themselves. although the mother goats are generally able to 'protect their young against such attacks. Low-browed and stolid as the mother goat may appear, her watchfulness. care and affection for her young are Just as evident as the

Coins of Yellow Metal “Minted” in California For several years gold half-dollars and quarter dollars were issued in , California. The half dollar of the first issue was round, the obverse showing a head of Liberty ed by a circle of 13- stars, and the .reverse showing the date “1552” within a wreath of laurel and the legend. -Half Dot California Gold.’’ Some have on the reserve the date and the legend. “California Gold Half D.” Later issues show various numbers of stars as well as change in design, some portraying an Indian head in-j stead of Liberty, and octagonal in . shape. . These half and quarter dollars were issued by private companies or Individuals connected with the goldmining interests, and In nearly every case reached the standard of value, weight and fineness claimed for them. While not consid nr ed legal coinage or legal tender, they were accepted at a time when there was a pressing need for money with which to transact the business of the country. Such coinage, however, Is now prevented by existing laws. Souvenir pieces resembling the gold half dollars were also issued during this period. They were made of composition metal, gold plated, and of course are not worth anything.
