In past presidential years Augustana College students at Rock Island, Illinois, have correctly guessed who the Republican nominee for president would be This year at the mock convention, they < hose (Senator Vandenberg as the GOP Standard bearer. They place Harold Stassen in second place, with no mention of Taft and Dewey in third place. Those who watch the trends wind if the Augustana. "politicians" have the answer. o- o . According to a report of the steel industry, only six-tenths of one percent of all the steel made in this country last year went into ships. The automobile Industry was the largest user of steel, tak Ing 16.3 percent, with tin cans in fifth place In peace time, this roiintry consumes huge amounts of steel and its by products in ordinary household articles, such ns refrigerators, stoves and washing machines. When the furnaces are running at capacity. America is prosperous. -o — Indiana I Diversity will be the meeca for art lovers during a four ’ weeks period, beginning April 18, when 3b master paintings from the Metropolitan Art .Museum of New York will be exhibited The col lection is insured for 11.257.0 the and includes originals by suchj famous masters as Bellini. Titian. > Van t'leve, Rubens, Van Dyke.' Rembrandt. Ki Greco. Goya and other great figures of the Renais sance. The exhibit is opened to the public, free of charge. Nearly 25.< ,n <i persons visited a recent showing of the same collection at the University of lowa and Indiana expects a larger crowd, due to the fame of. the artist colony in Brown county. o— —o The new draft hill on whhh the House Armed Forces Committee opened hearings this week, leaves deferments for occupation, dependency or schooling up to the President. In general, that is all I right, for as the Indianapolis Star.; comments, "too many if* and but* would hamstring administration of the act." However, safeguards should be written into the measure to make sure that young scientists and certain tyi>es of specialists aren't drafted for K. P. duty, as frequently is the case in armies.

Some Interesting Facts About Streptomycin

•y Herman N. Bundeten, M. 0. SINCE poll* of public opinion 1 arc fashionable these days. I re cently conducted one of iny own I aakf-d ten of my non-doctor friends what they knew about the powerful new drug streptomycin Their vague and confused Ideas j amazed me The many inquiries on i the same subject I have had from I readers show that they, too, are pretty much at sea as to what can really be expected of this important discovery So here are some of the facts about streptomycin which should be of interest to everyone. Like penicillin, streptomycin is developed from a mold. Again, like penicillin. It does not actually kill germa It simply keeps them from multiplying and thus gives tin bodys germ-fighting forces a chance to clean them up 'lt Is similar to penicillin, also. In that It Is not effective against all germs but It has the great advantage of working against germs which pen icillln will not touch It has given our fin,t against the once-fatal rabbit Irver or tularemia Here it seems most valuable if used together with the sulfonamide drugs It also seems quite definite that streptomycin is helpful tn the treatment of certain cases oftuber < ulosis H has been estimated that it may help ta about one ease out of four but t* cannot H rSI-tS SFj on to wipe out tuberculosis Mutragyen ku bm n>u« «

i i ———— The bill proposes that only men (rom II «o 30 register and than men from 18 to 25 be called for two year* training. The Star further remarks, "It is sickening to see wurld peace deteriorating to the point where another draft is being considered. But if congress decides it is needed, let us hope that it will have to be only a limited affair to fill out the current expansion of the armed forces." Owners of U. S. Savings Bonds are now around 12 billions better off in the aggregate than the actual amount of money they put into these bonds in the last seven years. That sum Is the overall interest which has already been credited to the account of Savings Bonds outstanding, according to official Treasury Department figures. Series K and F Bonds are worth progressively more the long- . er they are held towards their maturity dates Interest accrued on these bonds, amounted to 1579 millions in 1947 compared with 4493 millions in 1946 and 1353 millions in 1945. in all. a total of |1.7 billions in interest accrued on EBonds in tfie 1941-47 period and an additional 1139 millions on FBonds, making the accumulation of interest on the two series more than U.S billions by the end of 1947, Holders of series G bonds receive interest payments semi annually instead of by the accrual method. o—o —. — As Paul Hoffman, the Indiana industrialist, assumes his duties as director of European Relief, one oi his biggest jobs is to build an organization to handle the superhuman assignment. The name of Averill Harriman, son of the railroad builder amd present secretary of commerce in President Trumans cabinet has been mentioned for the post of "roving ambassa dor" Harriman is admirably fitI ted for the place, being a former ambassador to Russia and well ac- ’ quainted with the international picture Other administration posts to be named by Director Hoffman include 25 assistants at 515,000 and 75 at 110.609 a year, giving the public an idea that he has one of the most important tasks ever assigned to an individual. The Indiana man retired from a 596.0(A)-a-year position as head of Studabaker Corporation, to go into government service at 120.000 a year. He has the right spirit. -—o o Wabash River On Rampage In County Berne. April 15 Heavy rain this week lias sent the Wabash river in the south end of the county on a rampage.

It has also been tried in malaria hut found to be of > no value. Before using such drugs as streptomycin and penicillin, the pbysl- ■ clan must always make a careful examination to determine just what type of Infection Is present Then he can decide whir J one of these drugs will be most useful and can i prescribe it tn the proper dosage.

Once again she stepped from the street into a dim room where the music played and voices were dia- I creetiy low. -Shall we dance first?" Kirk Mked. Dancing with him, aware leas of the faces an' the music than of his nearness, she closed her eyes, conscious of a constant flow of high feelings rushing ever her and a heady excitement They swept you dangerously along, these feelings, until thoughts, only of tonight and not of a practical tomorrow, formed in your head. She opened her eyes quickly and when the music ended. Kirk smiled at her and tucked her hand under hla arm and led her back to the table. She did not see Mike Saunders, who might be anywhere at any time, sitting alone at a nearby table. • • • Mike had been drinking a good bit His eyee were red-rimmed, his hair shaggier than ever. He had meant to have it cut a week sgo. His clothes were carelessly put on He had meant to have hla suit pressed a week ago too. Kit and Kirk ... He squinted through the smoke and smiled grimly. What would Tracy think of that? Did she know that her new secretary and her current masculine Interest were out dancing and looking—yes. looking only a* two people who have just discovered each other can look. And Kirk Griswold had what it took to fascinate and excite and hold a girt He looked at Kirk's cleanly cut profile, at his casual, correct clothes, and a wave of melancholia seemed to hit Mike between the eyes. Nuts, be thought It's the scotch and I need some sleep But the feeling could not be shrugged away. Kirk made him feel ashamed of himself. He reached for the glass thinking. So what? He's a great guy who knows where he* going. He's mapped out a decent plan to hl* life. Maybe X can't be that way. Sc what? I’m not a parasite. 1 do a Job but bow weU do I do it?
