Lectures Eating. The laughter, the mad scratehinf of pens, the gesticulations ot tha mighty little scientist had nothing to do with anything so remote and solitary as germs. He was telling his countrymen that for 300 years they had not known how to eat properly, and the effect, he told them, waa most disastrous.

"Look at yourselves," he cried to them. "As a race we Japanese ara smaller than we need be If we ate properly." Dr. Noguchi himself stood barely 5 feet, yet so powerful was hla personality that he fairly charged his audience, and his marshaling of knowledge stored away ln his gigantis brain that never slept, was nothing short of marvelous. Every eye in tha room was riveted on him as he measured on his small body what should be the size of a Japanese, if a greater at the time of the accident, was not overcrowded in the common acceptance of that term. Members of the Board of Estimate.

to each of whom a copy of the Grand Jury presentment in the Bronx ferry- boat case has been forwarded, had nothing to say on the subject, stating that the matter in due time would be submitted at a public session of the board. It is safe to say, how- hose meetings he brought his microscope and tended his specimens during the course of the evening, leaving abruptly in the midst of anytning that might be going on to peer into hii Always Watched His Specimens. One evening he invited me over 10 dinner with him. Well, he dnn't eat one full course through without jumping up and running to examine one of his microscopes. There was one of them in every window.

He had the time in his mind set when 'hey would have developed to the next stage for investigation, and as though some silent signal in his vigilan' main he would suddenly jump up and go to gaze, for sometimes long periods, irto a microscope. Never for one moment did his work leave his mind. It was his life. The theater, th opera, movies and all their train were ul no interest to him. He had no time for social life.

In 1911 he mar-lied Jlis secretary at the Rockefeller Institute. Mary Dardis. She survives her husband and lives in New York City. "In 1911 Dr. Noguchi made his memorable visit to Japan and caused such a furore of ovation and innovation as the Japanese have not vet recovered from," Dr.

Takami said. "You know, Japanese women never attend public functions, such as banquets and the like, as American women do. It just isn't done. Dr. Noguchi adored his mother.

It was to see her that he left his' microscopes and his beloved laboratory and leturned to bis native countrv. and he didn't intend to have her lose out on any of the good times that the Japanese people showered on Nm. He declared her loving guidance had made possible his success. Shocked His Countrymen. "He spent three months ln Japan that time and the Japanese people got the shock of their lives when he refused to attend any function in his honor to which his mother was not also invited.

35th New York City: Be sure you tell listeners over the radio next Monday evening that $41,000 was spent for Al Smith's campaign in California. I would like to ask you a question in political arithmetic. If $41,000 was spent on a single State, before a candidate has been nominated, how much would likely be spent in the same State after he was nominated? The Republican campaign graft is awful, simply awful, but the Democratic campaign and other graft is not awful to some radio lecturers. And our Nicaraguan policy does not seem nearly as inimical to the interests of the Nicaraguans from the standpoint of Envoy Cesar at the peace conference as to H. V.

Kalten-born. Some good shots at those radicals on the Nation your friends, I believe. Be consistent now- and denounce this campaign graft money donated or loaned by big contractors others. There is no excuse for any one contributing $40,000 or $50,000 to anybody's campaign fund, and you well know it, and if you don't tell hearers so I will know just where to place you as regards sincerity and insincerity. Mrs.

Beddoe, New York City: My husband and I (who are Canadians) enjoy your weekly talks over the radio, and were much Interested when you spoke on the situation in Egypt. I was particularly interested because I met an American lady Vho had spent three years in Egypt during the war doing Red Cross work. She said she had left America with an intense dislike to Great Britain and all things British (like many other Americans), and was quite prepared to find everything wrong over there. But after three years there she was willing to take off her hat to Great Britain for the wonaertul work she had done for the Egyptian people. She said one could never know of the extent of it until they had lived in the country and among the people Of the English residents there she spoke most highly.

J. O. Silva, 478 73d Brooklyn, N. My object in writing this letter is to compliment you on jour selection of H. V.

Kaltenborn to give his fine talks every Monday evening on current events over the Station R. I must truly confess that I have, as well as my family, enjoyed very much this gentleman's remarkable ability to express the most important topics of the day. so much so that we have readily and willingly sacrificed other interesting programs on the "air" about the same time to hear his interesting comments. Mr. Kaltenborn is, in my opinion, humble as it Is, one of the greatest speakers I have ever had the pleasure to listen to over the radio.

I sincerely hope that your newspaper will maintain this feature in the future, which has been in a great measure responsible for our adopting the use of your great newspaper in our home, likewise looking forward with delight to any articles appearing therein by your "Radio Editor." Anna K. Hatton, 141 E. 54th New York City: It is my pleasure to express to you my thanks for your views on Current Events, which you state so clearly, concisely and so unbiasedly. May God prosper you. O.

P. Murray, Bloomfield, N. H. V. Kaltenborn has just finished his weekly talk, and I would just like to say that I think it is the most looked-for and outstanding event on R's whole program.

Anne M. Henshaw, 240 Claremont Montclair, N. Every member of this family drops everything to listen you. You peak so clearly and well. We do not always agree with you.

Some on one subject and others on others. I think we would like to hear you more than once a week on the political situation. tne island. His stand gave a new touch to social affairs in Japan ever since. While it did not create a new custom, it established a precedent in regard to the old one that has endured centuries on end.

"His mother died a couple of years ago. Perhaps," mused Dr. Takami sadly, "he was not so loath to leave us now. With his mother gone and so much of his work accomplished, he may have been more ready to pass on than we know. Her approval of his work meant more to him than all the applause of the world." Laboratory Swallowed Him Vp.

One pastime only this great scientist relaxed in. It was playing the two kinds of Japanese chess'shogi" and "zo." Sometimes he would play straight through the night at either the Nippon Club or at the Japanese Christian Association. Then he would disappear for weeks and his friends would know that he was in the stillness of his laboratory working. It was at the Japanese Christian Association that the writer saw him for the last time. Early In the evening he had berated his countrymen, much to their delight.

They leaned forward In their chairs for more of it; they were convulsed with laughter: the hall was filled with the scratching of their pens. What he said they meant to preserve for a later, more thorough, mental digestion. He seemed a veritable little human dynamo that bubbled over with mirth every now and then. Not an eye in the audience left him for more than a second. With that air of one who has succeeded in driving home his point, he would suddenly cease his gestures and stand so perfectly still that the audience would fairly hold Its breath for what might happen next.

Two rows of very white teeth would Memory of Scientist's Infectious Laugh Still Rins in Ears of Friends Who Loved Him Death Came in Far Off Corner of the World Body to Be Brought Here by Rockefeller Institute. By JEAN PIPER. Always in thinking of Dr. Hideyo Noguchi there comes the ring of his gay, infectious laugh. In spite of all the sorrows that life brought him; all the honors it heaped upon him in his short span of 51 years; of the most arduous toil that took him for long periods into far and dangerous quarters of the world, and the persistent, careful watching of his experiments that scarcely ever gave him one single full night's sleep since he grew to manhood, this great man kept his gay, spontaneous laughter and a simple-hearted faith that made him seem almost childlike at times.

In the pestilential Gold Coast of British West Africa, Dr. Noguchi's soul winged its way into another world. Suddenly the little city cf Accra and its 20,000 inhabitants came into the limelight of the world. A man- who gave his life for humanity had lived there and gone out from among them. Never again will it be just humdrum little "Accra on the Gold Coast of it will be "Accra, the place where Dr.

Noguchi died." Passing Leaves Big Gap. Last night the writer called on some of Dr. Noguchi's friends. There prevails among them a profound and proud sorrow. His untimely passing has not only left a rift in the field of science that may wait many a decade to be filled by so able a scientist but a gap in the Japanese race.

No son of Japan has ever so endeared himself to the world or brought such world-wide achievement and honor. Since word of his death flashed acress the seas on Monday, the Japanese flag was hung at half-staff at the Rocketelier Institute, where Dr. Noguchi has been a constant worker since the opening of the century. It was wnue ur. Bimon riexner, tne head of the Rockefeller Institute since its foundation, was visiting the famous Hita Tazato laboratories in Japan that he discovered the young and energetic Hideyo Noguchi working there.

At that time Dr. Flexner was connected with the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Noguchi, yearning to perfect himself ln nis scientinc work, inquired of Dr. Flexner if he would help him if he came to Amer ica.

And Dr. Flexner. looking at that eager, Intelligent face, answered, "Yes, indeed," never expecting, that he would be over on the next ship. Followed at Once. Hardly had Dr.

Flexner made the first inspection of his laboratories on his return than there stood In his office the young Japanese whom he had left so recently in Japan. With the simple directness that characterized Dr. Noguchi he reminded Dr. Flexner of his promise. The trip to America had consumed all the ready money Dr.

Noguchi had and when he arrived in Dr. Flexner's office he was "strapped," as the ex pression goes, and in dire need 01 work. Such trust as made this intrepid little scientist stake his all on the promise of a great American doctor caused Dr. Flexner to look with much favor on this young man. He not only found him a place to work in the uni versity but arranged for his study there.

In due course 01 time Dr. noguchi received his American degree and became an assistant in the laboratory of the university. Later, when the Rockefeller Institute was founded. Dr. Flexner took the young Japanese with him.

and there he had been ever since, carefully guarded from the pry ing eves of the world, working out in vestigations for human welfare. In fact. Dr. Noguchi was the first one to have a department of his own to work in. The friendship between Dr.

Flex ner and Dr Noguchi is one of the rare Jewels in the world of scientific men. Born of Old Samurai Family. Dr. Noguchi was born at Inawashlro. Yama.

It is thougm that the now demonstrated crowding of the ferryboats will incline the city authorities to give a more willing ear to these two projects, which will have to be carried out some time in the not distant future instead of sink ing more millions in the construction of additional ferryboats which, at best, from the Staten Islander's point or view, give unsatisfactory service ir. these days of rapid transit and will have to be thrown on the scrap heap when modern transit facilities between Staten Island.

Atwater's marriage to Miss Marie L. Carey of Detroit took place in 1901. A son, David Thonrj, is studying for the ministry in General Episcopal Theological Seminary, and his daughter, Marie Frances, is a evident at the Cathedral School for Girls at Garden City. Four times has Dr. Atwater been a deputy to the triennial conventions of the church in the United States.

He is neither of the high church nor the low church party. He styles him self "a moderate, a prayer-book churchman." He believes that defini tions will make plain his position as to the internal controversies which have stirred the church. But in saying that he will also add that he is by "no means a fundamentalist. 32d Degree Mason. A 32d degree Mason.

Atwater has been grand prelate of the Grand Commandery Knights Templar of Ohio. He was active in Greek letter societies when in college and still keeps up his membership In Beta Theta Pi and Phi Beta Kappa. He is a member of the University and Rotary Clubs, the Fairlawn Club of Akron and the Authors Club of London, England. In 1908 he was a delegate to the Pan-Anglican Church Congress in London.

S. A. Dr. Atwater has written several boys' books, mostly dealing with life in a boys' camp, but his most effective writing has been along religious lines. In a "Word-Map of the Old Testament," published in 1923, he gives a summary of Old Testament history together with a course of reading for a thorough grasp of the contents of the book.

It can safely be said that after reading this little book of 50 pages the student will know more of the Bible than if he had read the Old Testament from cover to cover. Has No Sport. One can talk with Dr. Atwater for hours and see his fine intellectual face always lighted with a great enthusiasm as he speaks of his ministerial work. The only time when a look bordering on the pathetic creeps into his eyes is when he is asked what is his favorite sport.

Then the glow fades from his features and he says, perhaps with just a shade of tiredness In his tone: "Oh, I've been so busy. Golf? Tennis? No!" Then the years fall away and he says, almost rapturously: "But I liked to play baseball. Ah, that was years ago, when I was a youth. How tne years fly! I like bridge, too. but that isn't answering your Question.

for that Is hardly a sport. In this day everybody must have a sport he Indulges in, mustn't he? Well. I'm afraid I haven't." And then, as one looks at his fine six-foot, athletic figure, one wonders what he would do with a golf ball or a tennis racquet or tearing through the surf with the American crawl stroke. He Has Difficult Decision. It is not an easy task which confronts this distinctively human and engaging rector 'of the stately old church at Grace ct.

and Hicks the task of deciding whether to give up his fine life as a rector, which contributes so much to the spiritual upbuilding of the members of his church, and enter the world of bishops, from which there can be no return to the life of a parish administrator except in circumstances of grief or physical impairment which would make one an object of pity rather than of congratulation. That he decided to take time, and not a little of it, before announcing his decision is not to be wondered at when one considers what the life of a rector has meant to him in the way of bringing out the best that was in him. Mr. Prterson insists, and that is electric lights. Daughter Protests.

"The city administration cannot ignore that fact, particularly not in view of the finding of the Richmond County Grand Jury that the loss of three lives when the ferryboat Bronx shipped a huge wave, was partly due to the boat carrying more than 2,000 passengers whereas the maximum capacity designed for it is 1.550.

I don't want you to use my name because of Estimate with a request for more boats and the Mayor might pick me out as a subject for one of his epigrams, on the ground that he has not had time to read the presentment of the Grand Jury." Need More Boats, Says Goldman. The need of more boats to carry the ever increasing number of people us ing the Staten Island ferry is freely admitted by Commissioner Albert Goldman of the Department of Plant and Structures, who is in charge of the municipal ferry service. "With our present fleet of Stater; Island, ierryboats, ne said yesterday "it is impossible to avoid crowding in the rush hours, in tne evening tne patrons of he boats are anxious to get home. They won't wait for the next boat. But it is well to bear in mind that in 1927 the Staten Island ferry boats carried 26,289.087 passengers without the loss of a single life or any serious accident.

That proves that the boats are well handled." No Indictments. No indictments were returned by the Grand Jury, which blamed Arthur J. Hinchle, captain of the Bronx, for failure to reduce speed when the boat reached the cross current of Robbins Reef. The investigating body was mistaken, according to Commissioner Goldman, when it called attention to the city's plan to build five new ferryboats, and that up to the pres ent time only one keel had been laid down. "The fact is," he said, TOie Board of Estimate has authorised the con struction of only one new Staten Island ferryboat, which is ,10 be of the type and capacity of the American Legion, the newest of the fleet.

This additional boat is being built by the Staten Island Ship Building Company and will be completed lu the early part of next year. It takes a year to build one of these big, fast ferryboats." New Service to Stapleton. For some time past strong pressure has been brought to bear upon the city administration to establish a ferry service to Stapleton. The only present Staten Island ferry terminal i3 at St. George.

"If that is done," said Commissioner Goldmanj "we shall need twice the number or boats now in the Statea Island service. The five new boats and new terminal would mean an investment by the city of about $9,000,000." Only a few -weeks ago Commissioner Goldman applied for an appropriation of a million dollars in tax notes to finance the building of one more Staten Island ferryboat, but the request was denied. Would Permit S-Minute Headway. Five additional boats, according to Calvin I. Crocker, chief engineer of ferry service of the Department of Plant and Structures, besides the hnat now under construction, would permit a 5-minute headway, instead of the 10-minute headway main tained in the rush hours at tne present time.

In non-rush hours the boats are operated under a 15-min- ute headway. Such an increase in service, he said, would do away with overcrowding of the boats. Claim Bronx Was Not Overcrowded. It was learned that the Federal Government does not limit the number of passengers on a ferryboat as it docs on excursion boats. But it does prescribe the number of life preservers to be carried by each ferryboat.

In the case of the Bronx, the Grand Jury determined the capacity of the vessel from the number of life preservers on board. This number is 1,544, as prescribed by the Federal Government. The deck space is measured bv insDectors of the Department of Commerce, divided into equal parts, and one life preserver is assigned to each space measuring 3 by 4 feet.

After his lecture to his fellow countrymen had ended, and the scratching of pens had ceased.

Dr. Noguchi made his way quietly to the side of the writer and talked for a while. Fuss and formality were perfectly odious to him. He was direct and simple id all his ways, and one immediately felt perfectly at home with him. We talked of many things, and he told me hs had been a vegetarian for many years, and was pleased to find that we held this belief in common.

"When I some back from Africa I'm coming over to your house and have tea with you." he told the delighted and astonished writer. "I'll teach you to make It the Japanese way." Didn't Mind Alley. "But, Dr. Noguchi." confessed the writer, embarrassment struggling with happiness, "you know I live in an alley, over a garage. It is all very, very humble, this place where I live.

Perhaps it would be too humble for you." A sudden seriousness spread over the face of the scientist and he said very gravely: "I am coming to see you and well pour tea. It doesn't matter to ma where you live. I'll be there when I get back from Africa." "And he would, too," Dr. Takami said last night in his study.
