Chancellor Speaks at Boy Scout Banquet The Boy Scout movement is a typical manifestation of Amer icaan democracy at its best, de clared Chancellor C. S. Boucher in an address in Norfolk last night before a banquet of the Covered Wagon regional council of the Boy Scouts of America. This may be said of several other youth-training agencies such as the Girl Scouts, Campfire Girls, 4-H Clubs and Boys and Girls states, he added. All emphasize useful training, constructive ser vice, spiritual values and idealism. "It is today refreshing and in spiring for us to contrast this typ ically American and democratic Boy Scout movement and our other worthy youth movements with the unified and "dictator-controlled youth movement of the nazis in Germany and in the countries dom inated by them," said the chancellor. James Madison Wood, 66, holds a record for longest tenure among presidents of Women's colleges. He is rounding out his 29th year as head of Stephens college.

That Live Without Oxygen Experiments to discover the significance of bacteria that live without atmospheric oxygen in the intestinal tract of man are now being conducted by Dr. Keith H. Lewis of the bacteriology de partment and Dr. W. E. Militzer of the chemistry department. It is known that hundreds of millions of these bacteria occur in the intestinal contents of man. They are the predominating mi croorganisms of the digestive sys tem, but their role in the body is still unknown to the experiment ers. However, it is known that they do not produce disease, though they are very similar to bacteria which may cause infec tion. Investigate Substances. The University Research Coun cil has made possible the co-operative experiments between Dr. Lewis and Dr. W. E. Militzer to investigate the growth-stimulating substances for these bacteria, which may . be obtained from corn silk and peptone. Ever since Dr. Keith H. Lewis came to the university in 1936 he has been attempting to discover experimentally just how and why these bacteria function. Progress was slow during the first years, even with the help of graduate assistants, but the fact was es tablished that several varieties of these bacteria normally occur in man and other animals in im mense numbers. To continue this study it was necessary to discover better meth ods of growing and isolating these bacteria. Margaret Bedell, who was the first assistant, found this difficult due to their complex food requirements and their failure to grow when exposed to air. Eventu ally she devised an improved but rather complex medium for their growth. A more intensive study of spe cific food substances was made by Robert A. West, jr., the second assistant, who discovered that un less pyruvic acid, among other things, was included in the diet, the bacteria would not grow. YOUR DRUG STORE Want to win her favor?
