...apparently the first true man. Darwin and Lamarck to the contrary, evolution is uniform, centrifugal, creational. It has proceeded steadily (Darwin said a minute "jump" in a favorable direction would survive in the species). It has developed outward from within the geneplasm (Lamarck thought the germ was affected from without by the activities of the body or the environment). Variation of species is the result of an original creative pattern which was within the germ from the beginning-Professor Henry Fairfield Osbom of the American Museum of Natural History...
Professor Calmette has no doubt that his vaccine is harmless. It is prepared from living bovine tuberculosis germs. The germs are cultured for many germ generations in glycerinated ox-gall until they become non-virulent. If fed to infants in three doses during the first ten days of life, the vaccine is supposed to immunize them against tuberculosis. Dr. William Hallock Park, director of the New York civic health laboratories, has certified Dr. Calmette's claims. Last week he said: "We have not had a single accident in the use of the vaccine." Nearly 400,000 French babies...

As long ago as 1901, far-sighted Dr. Stratton saw this coming need and met it splendidly...

Says the soldier (Barrie Livesay) : ''How can any man know if he is the father?" This is the germ of the scientist's obsession. His wife (Dorothy Dix) cunningly suggests that he may not be the father of her child, and persistent pondering of this problem drives him mad. He believes all the women of his household are allied against him, even his daughter (Maisie Darrell...
