When An Adult Has Chickenpox

IN general, chickenpox is a disease of (young children and in them H usually runs an uneventful, if uncomfortable, course without leaving behind it any perma ; nent bad effects. In very rare ini * stances, a case of encephalitis qi inflammation of the brain may oc--1 cur after ehicK en P° x > causing such symptoms as sleepiness, stiff neck convulsions, coma, and, even death. Ordinarily, however, chicken‘pox is a niikj though highly oop- , tagious disease, marked by the fonp»t|on of blisters which later • scab over 'into crusts.- Fever, tiredness, tearing jof the eyes, and a feeling .of generalized sickness 3 are also present. The most difficult symptoms ( to control is the itching of the rash, which may be severe. If the sores are scratched, a blood infection may result, a?, well as permanent scarring. In older people, chickenpox is likely to be a more troublesome disease, .with more prolonged symptoms and a longer course. The itching in these cases is most distressing, and the scratch- ' ing, .secondary infection and the ' scarring are extremely difficult to control. With this in mind, some investigators administered penicillin to a group of patients with .H, chickenpox. Another > grtup did not receive the penicillin. It was noted that in tha group to which

But the authorities stated definitely that Japan will, not be allowed to the prewar policy of price cutting on the in'ternational market which' made that country disliked by nations who had to compete with her. Japan’s vast population furnished a pool of cheap labor which reduced production coSt far below that of most western countries. The restriction keeping producers from selling goods at figures which other nations could not compete accomplishes a two-fold purpose. It protects the rest of thq world from uhfaif competition and it should help Japanese labor to build a case for better wages and living conditions for industrial workers. ? . I , j

the penicillin was administered, there was a marked reduction in the amount of itching. ' The patients had a great increase in domfort and did not feel as sicx bB~ the patients who did not receive the pencißin. The period of fever accompanying the disease was reduced about. 50 percent ih comparison witn previous cases not treated with pemicillin.

CHAPTER NINETEEN ' McGANN sought out the others on the fringe of spectators. He told the reporter, **l think there’s another opening on the sparring ateff ** •T’d rather walk into a propeller," Wexton said. AU disdain of Hunyak’s potency had vanished. "If he even looks at me I’U start doing roadwork.” They were helping the dazed boxer out. He patted broken lips, clumsily with his taped hands. Chary had roused to indignation. "If that’s a manly art," she said, "I’ve finally found a reason to be glad I’m a yvoman. I can’t understand Shirley— * " , "It’s not always like that," McGann said. “The referee should have stepped in. It’s that second blow that does the damage." Ma Handy charged down upon them with appalling vigor. “Shirley tells me you’re aIT staying for supper and the movies,” she boomed. "That’s swell. We’ve got a big buffet and Dempsey-Carpen-tier and some others." They watched several exhibition bouts and McGann won five dollars from Wexton. He looked in vain for Shirley Stanton. He was surprised to catch a glimpse of Kathleen Rogers, who strolled out With a tanned young man. She gazed about, as if looking for someone, then was lost in the crowd. It was getting dark when the final bell rang. They went ih to the buffet. McGann saw that a large room had been fitted up for the fight films. He excused himself to Chary Jones and Wexton. "I’ve got a little errand. See you in the showers.” He told Chary, “Don’t Jet him talk you into betting on Carpentier when they start that film. He’s old enough to remember how it came out.” Sht smiled. "Don’t worry. I know all about sports, too. I’U pick Didriksen to beat Louis any time.” ’ \ "Fine, fine. Then I don’t have to guard -your interests.” i / It was dark when he stepped outside. There was a thin mist on the leather seat of the convertible. On the windshield, the mist made the camp lights glow large and yeUow like the candles on a Christmas card. j i He eased behind the wheel. The I motor caught quickly, then he was ■ threading his way to the main ; road. There he turned right and ' sped at a steady pace toward a roadhouse he remembered from the ' drive in. \ •' It proved to be farther than he had expected. A red neon sign spelled out Dirty Danny’s. He went • into the long low building where a wave of stale smoke hit him. Four men playing shuffleboard did not look up but a few heads turned S: the bar. A Juke-box about the ze and color of the Roxy marquee was thumping out “Twelfth Street Rag.” McCann slid into the telephone booth. The juke-box Was muffled through the closed door. He found Amos Holton’s home number in the notebook he took frem his pocket —a Butterfield exchange. He dialed the operator and gave it to her. After a moment she said, “De* posit twenty cents, please,” The dimes rang out four cheap chimes. Then the Holton phone was ringling. He held the throbbing receiver a little away from his ear. The New York phone didn’t answer and "Would you

ringing that again, please?” “I will try the number ay-gain, sir,” she said. \ It was no good. Just for the records- he tried Holton’s office and drew another blank. He told the operator, “If my dimes aren’t worn out,, giye me Rector 2-3515. This I know will answer." She said, “I weel try to get them for you, sir.” The Manhattan office of the FJ3I answered- McGann got an agent he knew, asked, "Is theie anything in the file on Louis Hunyak, also known ,as Hooker ?" , After a while, the agent came back on the phone. There was a thin dossier on Hunyak—native of Yugoslavia, brought to the United Stated at the age of three — now a citizen . . . drafted September 1943 « > : discharged from service Aprjl* 1943 for the good of the some. “What did he do?” McGann wanted to know. “Tie cannons in knots tn a fit of pique?” Hunyak, he was told, had been in just enough scrapes to get thrown out without drawing the guardhouse. No, he had . not been in any other trouble. As for the Tompkins affair, if McGann personally wanted to confess over the phone his former colleague would bu happy to take the confession and arrange his surrender. “I abrt talkin’,” McCann said. He hung up and was about to step from the booth when the phonci rang sharply. He lifted the receive?. “Deposit fifteen cents for overtime," the operator said, She sounded suspicious. “You got me,” McQann said, “and I was almost over the border, too.” Her "Thank you*?* cut through the vibrating bells. 5 He drove back to the training camp, i The fight films were on when he reached the porch and he looked in at the crowd. It was too dark- to see anyone clearly. He went back to the car, took a flashlight from the glove compartment and started along the trail to the cottage Shirley Stanton had I pointed out. McGann’s flashlight stabbed -'Jong the narrow trail. He could ■ see a light in the cottage window. ' A few, last insects cricked in the i brush, a mournful farewell to sum- , Tner. He went up the four steps > to the porch and saw that the i door was half open. 1 i He snapped off the flashlight and I tapped it on the wood of the screen i door. There was no answer. He e rapped again, called, “Miss Stan- " toii!” s _ ! The was utterly silent i McGann opened the screen door t and stuck his head inside. “Heilo," 8 he called, “are you—” . Shirley Stanton was at ease in i a low chair, her legs in the maroon 1 slacks stretched out on a flowerpd ? hassock. Her eyes were closed, J the long lashes lying on her flawt less skin and the brilliant hair billowed about her.,/ A magazine > was on her lap. 1 McGann coughed, pushed the 1 screen , open and let it slam. The » green sweater swelled in a tort turously long, slow breath. “Sorry 1 to come barging—” McGann began loudly.

sweater started on another breath. McGann dropped to his knees and shoved the glowing flashlight in her face. The lovely features were marble clean and cool in the bright circle. With his left thumb he pushed back her eyelid. The green eye was rolled slightly upward and he had to get hold of the lid with thumb and forefinger and lift it. It stared back at him as always, only this time the pupil was the tiniest pinpoint possible. He had seen the effects of morphine before but never quite so pronounced. For a moment he Stood irresolute. If Shirley Stanton Was fighting a slight overdose, an alarm would set off a chain of explosive trouble for her. Hi not—if it were more than that—she might never get to tell him what she had called film here to reveal. He timed her breaths. Not more than four a minute. This was definitely coma. He looked about swiftly, walking into the small bedroom, but there was no phone; There would be one at the camp and no need now for the secrecy which had sent him to the toadhouse; booth. McGann stepped quickly to the door and collided jarringly with a figure oq the dark porch. Taut reflexes had his free hand on the man’s neck before he realized that he had reached out. “For Pete’s sake, let go of my heck," Dink Wexton said as soon as •he could. He seemed really mad. His thin face was twisted in the light of the flash, and he was pressing nls throat gingerly. “There’s nothing left of my Adam’s ; Aepple but the core." McGann’s voice was not friendly. “What are you doing up here?” He kept the light on Wexton. "How long have you been here?” The reporter stared, the eyes ! wide above thhir brownish shadowa “Hey,” he said, “what’s eating you ? I just came up." "Why?” Wexton shrugged, “I could say I it’s a free Jersey but 1 won’t. 1 saw you come up on the porch and I look in at the movie.” I The detective’s tone softened. , "So you came along to see what • you could see?” ’ \ "Something like that. What’s i up?” 1 i i McGann told him. Tm pretty sure it’s morphine poisoning. She’s I Jh a bad way.

K.,” Wexton said. “Let me . borrow the fight I tried to knock • over a tree coming up here.” ’ McGann watched the light bobbing back toward the main buildi hng, then turned and went back in. I The lovely figure rested softly, I easily against the chair. Slim fin- , gers were curled lightly about the • magazine in I her lap. r He went over and looked at it : It was a copy of "The Ring” and was open at Page 10.

Few jffif By Polio Virus Have Paralytic Symptoms

(By W. Uqyd Aycqck, M-D-, associate professor of preventive medicine, Harvard University medical school.) (Editors note: This is the fjyst of a series of articles vtritten for laymen by outstanding sciewtlsts covering present-day knowledge about polio, based upon the last 13 years of research supported by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.) The first time the virus of poliomyelitis gains access to the human body, it causes no symptoms of the paralytic disease at <'4l for most people. Instead, most of us develop an immunity that, protects us in later contacts with virus. / If the virus did this for everybody, its extensive spread, about which little can be done in a practical way, might be a gebd thing. But, unfortunately, the in-' section does cause paralysis in a few of the many who are exposed to it. Thus it may be even more important that we know !why the virus causes paralysis in the few than to know how it spreads to everybody. Susceptibility In Host The question of who is susceptible has been studied for some time by scientists ’ supported by grants from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis? It is now* believed that the reason for such a great difference in the result of exposure to the virus is not necessarily in the virus itself, as once was thought, but can just as well be explained by conditions ui and in the people who are exposed. Climate factor S«en f The same virus may attack without paralytic results in one persoq and bring about extensive paralysis in another. Among the many who now are known to be exposed to the virus, paralysis follows more often in those living in cooler climates than in those living? in warmer- climates. The reason for this is not understood, but it might well lie in some fault in bodily adaptation to the wider variation in seasons in coolet climates. Infection with the virus seems to cause paralysis somewpat more often in individuals of certain type than it does in others. The disease in general does not pick those who are “run down” in the ordinary sense, If anything,; it seems. to pick those who are run up.*' It frequently is seen, in Hie “strongest and healthiest children —even those bordering ( on the robust. Repeated cases in the same family l|he suggest that this ' constitutional susceptibility” at times may be a family trait. Other seemingly predisposing conditions that cause paralysis in individuals who are wjth the virus are: the operation to Remove tonsils, excessive exertion or fatigue and, according to very recent studies, possibly such simple things as the injection of vaccines. (The question of inoculations as a predisposing factor has been reported • in England and Aus tra li a and is being studied in the United States now, without

definite findings as yet.) There also is Increased susceptibility in women during pregnancy. Test For Susceptibility Now, of course, all these conditions gre very common and not dangerous in themselves. It is only in the exceptional instances, when they coincide with the widespread presence of the virus in the community, that the\ conditions play a part in converting what woqld have been a harmless infection, resulting in Increased immunity to later infections, into the paralytic disease. Even when taken all together? these factors explain only a small proportion* of cases of poliomyelitis. Some of them can be taken Into account in setting up precautions during epidemics\ to prevent at least some para iy tic cases. But the fact that paralytic polio is found in relatively large numbers of people in cool,climates, in people of a certain type, in recently tonsillectimezed or over-fatigued lersohs and in pregnant women may be Important in suggesting to scientists -the kind of subtle changed that place in the human body effecting its susceptibility to paralysis. An understanding of the nature of these subtle changes that disturb the delicate balance between resistance and susceptibility would open up entirely new approaches to the prevention of paralysis. If the few people who are\ susSeptl* bile to paralysis could be identic fled in advance by 'some tedt, and their resistance increased, as. has been done already with the experimental animal, then the disease with paralysis could be turned for .everybody into what it already is in most people: ' a harmless, immunizing infection. This is the goal of much arduous and careful work supported by the March of Dimes. Livestock Board's Secretary To Speak \<R. W. Elrod, state veterinarian and secretary of the Indiana state livestock sanitary board, .will be the principal speaker in a meeting in the Lincoln school, Decatur, at 8 p.m. Thursday, June 7- Elrod will discuss regulations promulgated by the board as a result of the new codification that was passed by th* 87th general assembly; These regulations will effect the operations of every livestock breedef ahd handler of breeding stock. Elrod says, “Some of these regulations may seem somewhat drastic and may step qn somebody’s toes but it is very evident that if we are to handle disease conditions that effect our livestock, we musL change some of pur ways of doing business.” ’ The Adams county greep pasture contest -twill also be launched at this meeting, states county agent U E.
