MORE SCIENTIFIC! MEN,
SAYS SECRETARY BAKER
The following la a copy of a let
ter addressed to Dr. Hollis God
frey member of the Advisory Com
mission of the Council of National
Defense, by Secretary of War BaJc
er:
War Department,
Washington, Not. 2, 1917.
Mv de»r Dr. Godfrey: .The success
ful outcome of the war is so de
pendent, upon the applications of
science that the United States can
1)1 afford at this time to risk any
diminution of this supply of tech
nically trained men. Such diminu
tion we must in part suffer by rea
son o' the fact that class exemp
tions in the execution of the select
ive service law. are prejudicial to
lta general success; but I have con
stantly in mind the fact that the
GoTert.merit service will demand
more and more scientifically train
ed men, and so I hope those who
are in charge of scientific institu
tions will impress upon the young
men the Importance and desirability
of tUeir continuing their studies
except to the extent that they
aro necessarily interrupted by a
mandatory call under the provisions
of the selective conscription law.
Cordially yours,
NEWTON D. BAKER,
Secretary of War.

Bombs—Iron shells filled wltli gun

Turks at the siege of Rhodes in 1522.
They came into general use In the year
1634.
The brown rat, erroneously celled
the Norway Tat, was originally a na
tive of India and Persia. It enOered
Europe through Russia about 1727 and
was brought to America about the year
1775.
For women to take their husbands'
names on the marriage day was a Ro
man custom. EV)r example, we have
Octavia of Cicero, meaning Octavla,
wife of Cicero. Now we simply omit
the of.

cannot be defected by tlie former is not
