Coolidge, colonel, Thifcl ygi ment, Oregon Guard, says: "The Jiill.is absurd, and it is unbe lievable that anv thinking man in the legislature would even think of sup porting such a measure. It- is purely a Multnomah Guard measure, intro duced to further the ends of the Mult nomah Guard and none other. Prob- nbly one of the reasons the Multnomah Guard is so anxious for it is that the colonel of the said organization re ceives a salary of $3000 per year, and while Multnomah county may be able to support such an .organization, the rest of tho state cannot do so.

Then the experiment began. Those "gobs" were ipade to inhale flu germs. They were given flu germs to eat and drink. They had flu germs injected into their veins. And to the stupefaction of the doctors, not one man so exposed in any of the various ways developed any of the symptpms, of the disease. They didn't even "catch cold." If there is any scientific conclusion to be drawn, it is probably this: The flu will have none but unwilling vic tims. If this is true, the way to dodge the flu is to try to catch it. But the navnl doctors do not recom-1 mend any such practice. As for the hundred foiled flu-seek-1 ers, they deserve distinguished service medals just the same. It takes a fine ' sort of unselfish heroism to do -what they did, knowing that thousands of comrades had died of the disease. ' .
