FAMOUS. scientists from many

They are attending the second International Congress for Micro- biology, the headquarters of which are University College in Gewer. street. The Lister Institute in piny- ing a big part in the congress, and Profensar J. C. fr. Ledingham, Director of the Institute, will act us fits, president.
The scientists are discussing the activities of bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa, and the way they [affect, not only human lisenses, bit
human activities.
One section of the Congress is dealing with the question of the bacteria in soil, in milk, and in foods. R well as of rheumatic fever.
FOOD FRESHNESS
There are papers on the freshness (of fonds, and how fruit, for example, iran best be kept in cold storage. The scientists discuss the micro- biological unture of various soils, and i have that affects the crops grown in them.
Some of the most interesting of all the papers are thone connected with Iviruses, and the extent they cause
various diseases.
Dr. Hardy Eagles, of the Listeri Institute, has been carrying out re- search to wheumatic complaints of all kinds, and has arrived at the conclusion that viruses may possibly be among the causes of rheumatisın, us well is of ricumatle fever..
Dr. Peyton Rous and Dr. Gye are among the scientists who have been studying malignant growths. So far they have studied these growths only in fowls and animals, and the con gress will discuss viruses as one of the nuses only in so far as it applies to them.
If they can show, however, that viruses may be amongst the causus of a cancerous growth in a fowl or an animal, that would be a material step forward in the fight against can- cer in human beings.
YELLOW FEVER
In a similar way viruses as one of the causes of yellow fever will pro- bably also be discussed.
Among the world-famous scientists. who are taking part in the discussions are Professor Jules Bordet from Brussels, Professor Grassberger from Vienna, Sir Frederick Gow-

The common cold is easily the greatest cause of absenteeism. It accounts for more than 40 per cent. of the illnesses recorded.
Two Assize judges commented on aspects of divorce recently:

In one battalion.an experiment has been tried which, it de hoped, will make attendance at church moro

The battalion parades in just suf- ficient time to reach the church for the service. The commanding officer has placed the men on their honour to appear on parade properly dressed,
and during the brief lime the ex- periment has been in operation-they have respected his wishes.
