1700 block of Ken wick street, drank
the entire content* of n one ounce
bottle of lodine Monday afternoon
about 4 o'clock, nnd from circum
stances (old reporters It Is indicated
that the young man committed the
uct with suicidal intent. Within a
few minutes after it was discover
ed that Myers had drunk the poison
he was rushed to the University
Hospital In Ktllott's ambulance,
whre a prompt use of the stomach
pump by doctors probably aborted

the iodine by Mr. Meyers. Tlieron
' Thompson, a clerk in the drug
store of Davenport & Meyer, had
occasion to enter the grocery store,
where he found Myers to be in evi
dent mental distress, crying and
writing s note. He inquired "whnt's
the matter" and was told; "If you
knew the trouble I'm in you
wouldn't laugh at me." Mr. Thomp
son went further up the street and
in a few minutes returned to the
drug store, where ho met Myers
coming out of the door with the
bottle of iodine turned up to his
lips. He inquired of Hr. Carl Mey
er, the druggist, as to what it was
that was sold to Myers. Being told
that It was lodine he Informed the
druggist thaht the man was drink

DR. BURTON
By ROY J. GIBBONS
CHICAGO—Just as Napoleon
once prop. *ed a school for kings to
teach them how to run their coun
tries, so Dr. Ernest De Witt Bur
ton, president of the University of
Chicago, dreams of a school for
politicians.
Dr. Burton believes such an in
stitution could raise the Job of of
fice-holding to the level of a pro
fession.
"Universities hnrdly could furnish
training for political life in the
sense of selfish office-seeking,” ho
soys.
"But for political life in the sense
of a profession—nnd It be made a
high und honorable one—they can
<4o much.
"The need of high-minded, intel
ligent politicians Is ns urgent as
the need of ministers, physicians
and lawyers whose work it based on
high standards.
"A department of school that
could contribute to the supplying
of this need Is n part of the proper
function of a university. Subjects
should Include a thorough ground
ing In history, general ami political.
In econ. mics nnd in the funda
mental farts of the nature and or
ganization of society.
i WOULD DEAL WITH
1 FACTS, NOT THEORIES
“He should have a good command
of modern languages. 1J« should
know his country and its institu
tions. His herlxon should Include
world nffnlrs. If possible be should
have the Investigative habit of mind
—« habit tlmt be scarcely could
help acquiring when under the In
fluence exerted by a university.
"At first, perhaps, such training
would not he considered practical
by the avqtags mnn But he would
ct me to und* i dand that such train
ing would ho both Ideal and practl.
cnl While having ns its basic prin
ciples the highest conception* of
in .itlcal life It would fix Its nt-
Uiglon on hcluml condition*.
"It would deni with farts, not
theories. It would fit men to enter
political life with a consciousness
of their exalted mission, and at the
sumo time would educate them to
serve the public under the condi
tion* of today.” i

INTEREST UNIVERSITIES
Hr. Burton Is 68. He was born in
Qranvllle, is the author of
many bookstand never speaks on
any subject unless he has thought
it over well
He says that political questions
fall Into ai least two categories;
Those involving what may be
termed the “meehanigm of politics,' 1
and those Involving “polllical prin
ciples."
"Obviously," he says, "universi
ties have both an Interest and a
duly In relation to the latter.
"Besides the Influence a univer
sity can exert through the personal
interest in clcitions taken by mem
bers of ft university body, there is
a broader service,” he explains.
“That Is the service of encourag
ing painstaking and falrminded in
vestigations of the many questions
which arise In political life. Sur
veys of political questions can ba
undertaken —and often are—with
the same impartiality of point of
view find the same use of scientific
methods which characterise study
of social sciencas.
"A better informed public means
n better voting public. Universities
may and should perform for society
in general ns much of this service
as possible."

1 Later Tuesday the governors
were to start on a tour of the
southern section of the state thenro
across the everglades to Palm
Beach and Miami. The party will
disband at Miami next Saturday.
In opening the discussion Tues
day Governor Braneh declared it
had been estimated that 800 people
would be killed and more than 8.000
injured fri accidents of this char
acter during 1924, although the
railroads were not a bit more anx
ious to kill nnv one than a person
wants to he killed.
At least “ there Is in that respect
a mutual understanding and pur
pose. he pointed cut. hut neverthe
less this taking of human life goes
on.” Much of this was attributed
to drunken drivers.
The situation tn hi* own state

CONTROL OF HUMAN
FORM AND SEX IS
SCIENTIST’S FORECAST
NEW YORK. —Control of the
physical form, temperament and
sex of human beings by chemistry
was forecast by Dr. Edwin E. Hlos
son, editor of Science Service,
Washington, nt the Sigma Xi din
ner here Monday night.
He supported his statements by
citing such chemical achievements
as earning a fish to grow one eye
in the middle of the head by the
addition of magnesium chloride to
the water in whieh the fish lives.
Dr. Slosson said in part:
''lt is already apparent that the
forms of all creatures from the mic
robe to man are determined by cer
tain chemical compounds in ex
tremely minute amount. This may
put It in the power of the chemist
to control the size and shape of
plants or animals, to fix the num
ber and location of their branches
and leaves, or legs and eyes, to
modify color or complexion nnd to
determine or alter sex. The factors
of heredity and the origin of
species, when you get down to bed
rock, are chemical problems.”
