No opportunity, however, ever has been granted for experimentation of inoculation upon human beings. Only monkeys and other animals have been inoculated. The trachoma germ long has been a scourge among the Indians. Four years ago, Dr. Hiedyo Noguchi, noted Japanese scientist, did considerable research work here among the Inâ€" dians. He believed that he had 1soâ€" lated the germ, but he died in 1928, a victim of his own research.

Ialians. Basle has never had a pronounced international â€" character like other Swiss towns, especially Geneva, since the League of Nations. Though proâ€" gressive in a general way, the progâ€" ress is, compared with towns of the United States, slow, and we find its social life still rich in deepâ€"rooted traditions. _ ‘The Basle as pictured in the Revue des Deux Mondes in 1863 is still largely the Basle of toâ€"day. "The cleanliness which one remarks seems to be the result of old habits; It has passed into the character of the people. _ Solely occupied with their affairs where they manifest a perslst-1 ent and calculated patien:e, they do| not let business transgress the borâ€", ders of their homes. I No doubt the establishment of the Bank for International Settlements will mean many changes for this old town on the Rhine. By R, ORKHARD Basle has been chosen as the seat of the Bank for Internacional Settleâ€" ments as a town favorably situated in the heart of the European Continent, equally exposed to Central and Westâ€" ern European civilization and under the protection of Swiss neutrality. Even before Basle became a member of the Swiss "Bund" about 500 years ago, the town was the banker of the Swiss Confederation. Basle is an independent State in the Swiss Confederation and has a government and a Constitution of its own. The comparison with other towns of similar size is, therefore, not quite an â€" adequate comparison. According to the census of 1920, 73 per cent. of the residents were Swiss citizens, and of the total of 27 per cent. of foreigners, 20 per cont. were (}ermans, 3 per cent.

The alleged meanness of the Scot and the Jéw‘s shrewd bargaining are subjects of worldâ€"wide appeal. That is because Jews and Scots are more widely distributed over the earth‘s surâ€" face than are any other nationals. Mothersâ€"inâ€"law, too, are good for a laugh in most countries, A Portuguese paper published the following recentâ€" ly: That is the sort of joke that is only funny in English. Try to translate it into, say, French or German, and you are lost. The core of the joke is the triple meaning of the very "to stand." There is no equivalent word in any other language. The reasons were its brevity and its simple language. It contained no douâ€" ble meanings or play upon words. A Scot is a Scot, a purse is a purse, and a moth a moth, in any language. The joke is as good in Sanskrit or Bantu as in English, Not all jokes that appeal to Englishâ€" speaking people _ make foreigners smile. You have heard that yarn, no doubt, of the Englishman, the Scot, and the Jew who went into a publicâ€" house; the Englishman stood a round of drinks, the Scot stood six foot two, and the Jew stood in silent admiraâ€" tion? That is a classic oneâ€"line laugh that has tickled the ribs of the world. First published in an English aewspaper, it was specding out of this country by wire, wireless and cable to Europe, America, and the East, almost before Britain had begun to smile. Within a week it had appeared in twenty difâ€" ferent languages in every corner of the earth. White, black, brown, red, and yellow faces had opened from the centre because of it.

Very many surgeons die of heort discase, Dr. Mayo pointed out, and surâ€" gery is a profession requiring stern control of the emotions. ‘The knowâ€" ledge that a man‘s life lies in his hands cannot be allowed to affect the surgeon or he could not do his best work. Perhaps the extreme control which surgeons constantly exercise during most of their lives puts too much" of a strain on the heart. Dr. Mayo said that this problem should be investigated clinically and also by laboratory experiments., Tokio â€" 4 years of rain ‘There is no nausea or restlessness afterwards and the patient is spared much of the pain and discomfort imâ€" mediately following the operation, beâ€" cause he does not awakon until hours | after it is over.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death toâ€"day. The important vagus nerve system which connects the brain with the heart and the stomach may sustain an unsuspected relationâ€" ship between the beart and the emoâ€" tions.. Dr. Mayo called this a "suâ€" preme relationship originating in that shadowy day when hunger, fear, love and hate ruled the early ancestral state and the psychic influence of this relationship has lost none of its magic." Man has developed his brain at the expense of his body, Dr. William J. Mayo of Rochester, Minn., suggested at the meeting. The poet‘s notion that the heart related closely to the emotions has a basis in fact, Dr. Mayoe said. This theory has been scoffed at by scientists, who claim that the heart is merely a blood pump and we must look to the mind and nervous system for the emotions, When the mind gained control of the body and the sympathotic nervous system lost some of its power to regulate a man‘s acâ€" tions, man learned to control his emoâ€" tions. This may have thrown an ex tra strain on the heart and accounts, perhaps, for its deterioration in civilk ized man. Cl The technical name for avertin is tribromethanol. It was developed by Dr. Richard Wilistraetter of Munich, and Dr. Duisverg of Jena. American Medical Association meetâ€" ing here recently by Dr. Artbhur M.
