$5,000 PRIZE TO PROF. BABCOCK FOR 40-YEAR-OLD INVENTION

This week a senator gave a professor $5,000.

There was in the transaction no hint of any cause for other senators to start an investigation, fond as senators have become of doing that sort of thing. On the contrary, everybody knew why the senator gave the professor the $5,000, and everybody applauded the donation.
