...Bang, a Danish veterinarian, discovered the germ which caused contagious abortion in cattle. In 1918 Bacteriologist Alice Catherine Evans of the U. S.

Their streets were all paved with cobblestones, and each house had a white gate and was placed at least three feet from the next house. The soil rewarded the farmers' toil with rich crops; smoke poured from the chimneys of the factories all day and sometimes far into the night; stores, hospitals, and the rocket trucks ran with a maximum of efficient quiet...
