Mr.Futrant’s imagination has con¬jured up a mythical group whomhe thinks are the literati. Hehas proceeded to give them therazz in a rather amusing way,being qualified for this job bythe fact that he has taken ninecourses in Biblical Literatureand studied the verse of Hein¬rich Heine under Phil Allen forseveral quarters. Our esteemedcolumnist-of-the-day writes poet¬ry of the modernistic type, atype that is so modernistic thatit takes a pathologist to tellwhether it is verse or a CannedHeat ad. He is aesthetically in¬clined insofar as the biologicalurge is concerned and is sowinghis wild oat on a typewriter.

Profes¬sor Falk has used the electricalmethod, which N based on the factthat the power of a bacterium toexcrete poisons depends on the por¬osity of its outer cell, which in turnaffects the electrical charge of thecell. Professor Falk says, “I believethis electrical method can be ap¬plied to all organisms, since the re¬action to electrical charge is com¬mon to all bacteria, harmless asvrell as harmful. It is especiallyvaluable in diphtheria, since manypersons carry some diphtheriagerms in their throats, and becausesome of these carriers, though notaffected themselves, are dangerousto others.”Page Two THE DAILY MARCXJN, THURSDAY.

In the lasttwo weeks, the frosh mentor has beenable to appraise the abilities of someof his more promising men by scrim¬maging them against the varsity..As is the case with Maroon cageteams of the past, few of the fresh¬men have the height and weight forthe bruising varsity competition.(Yates, Rexinger, Blattberg, Cahilland Kaney, some of the outstandingfrosh players, are all small men assize goes in the Big Ten, and unfor¬tunately Chicago always suffers inBig Ten competition when it matchesstrength and size against such teamsas Michigan, ('Indiana, Purdue andNorthwestern put out year afteryear.Forwards GoodYates is one of the promisingforwards who will bear attentionnext season. A former Lake V’iewhigh schol star, the frosh player isa crafty man on the floor. He has aneagle eye for the basket, which mayhelp the Maroons out of a predica-.ment next season..As usual, guards predominate onthe squad Blattberg, Kaney andRexinger shay promise, and underthe tutelage of Coach Norgren willprobably maintain the repuation Chi¬cago has as a defensive team. No bigmen of promise, however, has thusfar been developed, while the centerposition as usual still remains aproblem. STAGG TO SEEFROSH IN ACTIONAT L A. C.

Although Chi¬cago’s famous mentor is as yet inNew York, he will be in for themeet to settle any difficulties thatmight arise.At this time, he will have his firstreal opportunity to view his fresh¬man squad in action. All of the goodrunners of the squad with the excep¬tion of Cotton and a few othersthat have been laid up by injurieswill compete at this time and.therefore from the results of themeet, the coaches ought to have ageneral idea of the strength of theyearling squad.In the 50 yard dash.

Norgrenites Play Michigan AtAnn Arbor OnMondayThe gentlemen who drew up thepresent conferenice schedule lastyear figured that the only way tosatisfy Chicago’s consuming ambi¬tion to play basketball would be toschedule the Maroons for home andhome tilts with such teams likeMichigan.

Happily enough, the bruisingof the Indiana tilts are over, but af¬ter being taken in alst Saturday byMichigan, Coach Norgren’s outfithave the none too enjoyable task ofplaying the Wolverines on theirhome floor next Monday night.The Maroons have practicallycompleted their home stay, the Illi¬nois encounter a week from Fridayringing down the round of homogames for this season. From thenon. Coach Norgren’s crew travelaround the circuit, finishing up withan encounter downstate againstCraig Ruby’s Illini.The Maroons at present are head¬ing the' teams in the second divisionof the conference. Chicago, how¬ever, has played more games thanany other conference team, this be¬ing due to the long layoff whichother schools enjoyed while exam¬inations were being held. Wiscon¬sin, Purdue and Northwestern, thethree leaders of the race, have onlyplayd one-third of their games. Pur¬due, in fact, has only participatedin three tilts, compared to the Ma¬roons’ seven. A number of impor¬tant fracases scheduled for theweek-end will probably throw amore definite light on where theMaroons will eventually land in therace.Chicago at least will have oneprominent candidate for individualscoring honors in the person ofVirgil Gist.“The Wonder Cafe of Chicago”CLUB BAGDADCottage Grove at 64thNo Cover ChargeWeek-DaysEvery Friday Nite- - IS. -College NiteDancing Contests for aSilver TrophyBen Pollackand his Califorians—Victor Recording Artists— All - Star Acts —PhoneDorchester 2255-6688 A LA CARTESERVICEWE CATER TO BANQUETS, PRIVATE PARTIESPageCONFESSIONI was sitting beside youSo quietly, |Answering your questionsAnd smiling,You did not know thatI loved you.That your casual touch and glanceWere fire to meBy whose flash of light my soul saw ■all 'You did and do not see—Our spirit harmony. ^—E.

In vie\Vof these facts the supposed increasein cancer among the primitive peo¬ples when they are in contact withmodern civilization, as in the Amer¬ican negro, may well be only a mat¬ter of civilization revealing thecancers, not causing them.”Explain StatisticsExplaining the statistics whichare often cited to prove that thereis eight times as much canceramong civilized people as among THE DAILY MAROON. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8. 1928primitives Dr. Wells points out thatfew uncivilized people live to thecancer-susceptible age, and that theolder individuals among primitivesare the ones who are most likely toretire into the backwoods, dreadingthe foreigner and his innovations,and so go undetected. “The expec¬tation of life for males in India issaid to be 26.6 years as against 54years in the United States, so whatis the chance of a native Hindureaching cancer age as compared toan American,” he asks. “A highcrude cancer rate is evidence of a .good state of public health, beinghigh in direct proportion to the de¬gree of control of preventable dis¬eases. We find high cancer rates inDenmark, Holland and other suchwell governed, well educated com¬munities; the low rates are in Ser¬bia and Jamaica and other coun¬tries occupied by less advanced pop¬ulations. ji“Improvement in modern diag¬nosis and recording of vital statis¬tics has detected that many deathsformerly ascribed to ‘old age’ or‘causes unknown’ are really due tocancer. Results of these improvedmethods have caused many to thinkthat cancer is due to increased civi¬lization whereas they prove nothingexcept that modern methods aremore accurate. Cancer was sup- |posed to be uncommon in the Jap- ;anese until modern methods of de¬tecting it showed that it is aboutas common there as it is in Europe.The same was found by systematicinquiry to be true among the Es¬kimos.“Cancer is a disease of civiliza¬tion to just the degree that old ageis a disease of civilization. Naturehas little use for her creatures af- jter they have passed their capacityfor reproductive activity, and hasnot been concerned for their persis¬tence beyond the duration of theirgreatest usefulness. Modern manprolongs his senescence by creatingan artificial environment whichsaves him for the diseases of de¬generation.Work of Miss Slye“The work of Maude Slye in ourlaboratories has proved that can¬cer-susceptibility is hereditary, so itmay be that certain strains of hu¬mans are exempt from the disease;but there is no evidence to provethat modern civilized men are anymore susceptible to cancer than theaborigines or that there is anyI greater stimulation to cancer inI modern practices.”Concerning Books(Continued from page 2)at Clark’s.

Of all thehalf-cocked, wet eared, unsophisti¬cated nit-wits, some of these “seek¬ers after higher knowledge” are un¬doubtedly paramount.
