COLDS ARE SERIOUS THIS YEAR-ALBERT

Streptococci Germs Cause Colds, Influenza and Pneumonia - Take Precaution
   "Colds are likely to be more serious this year than they have been for many years past because during the past year and a half, one of the germs, scientifically referred to as Streptococcus, has become more virulent than ever before," states Dr. Henry Albert, of the medical staff. This is a germ which produces the more serious complications in connection with influenza, and likewise the germ that was the cause of so many fatal cases of pneumonia a year ago. 
   At present a large number of people are affected by what is ordinarily called a common cold. In many of these cases there is a mild bronchitis which leads to coughing. These colds are not, for the most part influenza, and are not serious. However, these colds are caused by a germ and may readily be transmitted from one person to another, in the same way as influenza; that is by coughing and sneezing. 
   "All people should take precautions not to transmit colds, influenza, and other respiratory tract diseases to others, says Dr. Albert. Examination shows that the germ "streptococcus" is at present very much more common in the throats of persons with colds than it was in the past years. 
   it is therefore very important that proper precautions be taken to prevent the spread of ordinary colds. It is also important that when affected, persons should take proper care of themselves so as not to unduly lower the vitality of the system and in that way give the rather virulent streptococci so widely distributed at the present time, an opportunity to gain a foothold and produce a more serious disease. 

MUSIC TEST MADE FOR FRESHMAN STUDENTS
   A test to determine musical talent was given to freshman students Thursday in place of their regular lecture. This test was conducted by Dr. C.E. Seashore and Dr. Mabel Williams of the psychology department. 
   Charts were passed among the students upon which they registered the second of a series of tones played on a victrola. Dr. Seashore explained that these tones were taken from tuning forks which he exhibited to the audience. A report will be made ranking the student according to his talent shown on the chart. According to Dr. Seashore this test is in no way affected by the intelligence of the pupil or the number of music lessons he has taken. 
   Announcement is made of the marriage of Rose McEvoy, B.A. '18, to Edward Kennedy, of Coon Rapids.
