DISEASES transmitted from, animals to men are more numer-| ous than those of iis who love | rets lik<? to-think. In a recent survey: of this subject, it was stated that more than 80 diseases dan be caused in this manner, with the horse responsible for 14, tjie eat for 22, and the dog for, 39. fV Even birds can offer a health hazard, as is shown by the fact ♦ hat one very severe disease, par rot j fever, bears a bird’s name in taken of its origin. It was formerly thought that only - could spread this condition, but recently it hhs been disebveredj ’ that nearly any bird may' carry the disease. This sickness, J which also goes by; the name of .psittacosis, is characterized by pneu-monia-like symptoms. Sipce it is caused by a virus, it dogs not leepbnd well to antibiotic drugs. A condition known as, hydatid disease is sometimes transmitted from dogs to man. It is pot so frequent in the United States, but ♦l3 common in South America, and a case is sometimes seen jin the northern hemisphere. A In this condition cysts formed In the liver and other organs Oi the body, may prove fatal to the individual. Suspected cases can be skin tested to make diagnosis certain. , , Surgical : temoval, of, the cysts is necessary and this must be done ddth great care, for if a cyst ’breaks while it is being removed, there may be a spread of cysts throughout the area in which it - v. as-betoken. • -’At' one time. the transmission of tuberculous from cattle in- ■ ;

The British spirit is on exhibit in England. —_—_ y • .\ Agency The color television fight within the industry obviously has not been settled by the Supreme Court decision, but the authority of the Federal Commugicaitions Commission has been l upheld. The decision may have significance in American government long after the color question in television has , been fbrgotteij. The Court found, in the view of eight of the nine justices, that \the FCC had acted within -its proper powers, and in the interest of the public as it saw that interest, in its de-~ cision to approve th|e color system of -one broadcasting chain and authorize t|i‘e use of it. Therefore there is no reason for judicial interference! the Court held. "Courts should not overrule an administrative decision merely because they disagree with its wisdom,” the opinion ispid. This remark reaffirms, in a new specific setting, a\ principle w*hich the Supreme Court has upheld, many times. It is the function of the courts to interpret; the law, not . to decide whether a law is good or t-ud. In acting as a check on administrative agencies, the fuheof the courts is to'make sure that the agencies : perform their duties and stay within their powers, not tb judge the quality of administration.

Ifekted with this disease was a great problem ih the United States. However, it the last twenty years, due- to better public health measures, .this has ceased to be tiue. in many parts of the world this problem has not been solved.

You can help me though.” He added that he would like to go over Tompkins house at his leisure. "Tell Pearson to give me the run of the place." ' The lawyer was shaking his head. "1 can’t do that. The butler and his wife aren’t living there any more. Mr. Tompkins left them a few thousands sc they resigned and moved to Jamaica.” He bent forward and opened a drawer of his desk. “But I can do better. Here, do what you want up there. The electricity is still on.” The key slid across the blotter and clinked onto the glass-top desk. McGann slipped It into his vest pocket. “Fine. Xou’U hear from me later. By the way. I’ll bet it was nice up in Westchester yesterday." The black eyes never wavered? “Don’t hesitate to ask me anything directly, Mr. McGann. I didn’t drive to Westchester. I drove to Somerville, New Jersey, to my farm. That is beyond Union.” “You should have stopped in Ma Handy’s., Hobker Hunyak tn action is interesting in a grim sort of way." „ . . The thin hands fluttered. "I never view violence if 1 can avoid it. I hope you will soon clear up this messy business and let us return to the even tenor of our way." "I hope so, too," McGann said, as he went out. . , i Wexton was waiting in the office when he got back. “Why don’t you. stay put for five minutes ?” he complained. “Here ■ 1 am, Secret Agent X-9, with white-hot news and nobody to report to." “I’d tejl you to keep your shirt on," McGann said, “but I see you've already done that from yesterday. What is this sizzling revelation?” Wexton flopped down in a chair across from\ McGann’s desk. He said importantly, “I have traced the man and woman who followed ' Ronnie Tompkins from pub to <club. I know all about them.” \ i "Who are they?" ' *The guy is Peter J. Wilkins ami he is a lawyer from Toledo, Ohio. The dame is Mona Coltri, his secretary.

"Just a figure of speech or something. I mean no deduction goes with it." — "That’s good.” McGann was finishing with a cup of coffee and he stirred it meditatively. "You know having two parts of this investlgatlon in different states isn’t going to do it any good from the point of view of the regular authorities.” ; ; I •'You mean\ that hating each other’s guts they won’t clear?” That was what he meant, McGann said. The traditional rivalry between Federal and state rpen was no greater than that amongst the states and municipalities themselves. New Jersey authorities, investigating the death of Shirley Stanton, would tell New York no more than was absolutely necessary, except in the case of making an arrest. New York would return the compliment. Eight-state alarms are all very well when you are looking for a couple of automobile thieves but something else when a front-page murder is on tap.

The first was made of Don Hott, T 6, of 312 North Tenth street, who was found guilty in justice of the peace court of reckless driving. Police arrested the youthful motorist at First and Marshall. Sentence of the court was withheld until a later date. Nate Haley, of Schirmeyer street, was arrested in the 300 block of W’est Adams street and will be cited for public intoxication when he is haled into justice of the peace court later today. Homemaking Tips Efficient Openers The old joke about the bride 'who couldn’t get a meal without a can opener has lost most of its humor since ready-preparbd foods in cans! and other containers have come tb be staple items pf diet in most modern homes, and openers accordingly have become essential kiichen tools. I \ Because these tools are used daily of oftener in most kitchens today, housewives need to give more attention, to efficiency, safety, and econdmy iq choosing among the many types on the market. In kitchen where knives or other unsuitable tools still are used to cut cans, pry off lids or lift bottle caps, the toll in time lost, needless effort, accidents and damage is considerable. For economy and convenience, the specialists recommend buying openers that can be used more than one type of container. For examplb. choose a can opbner that works for rectangular as well as round cans. An opener for screw tops should be adjustable so that it can be used on all sizes—from wide—mouth fruit jars to the very small tops of extracts bottles. fi\om being called in to work off a (This saves the man of the house top with pliers or wrench.) Before buying a can opener, make sure it will pierce the metal easily and cut the lid without leaving sharp or rough edges that are a hazard to hands, or whittling off bits of metal that will fall in the food. Very convenient is a can opener that lifts and holds the lift so that it doesn’t fall back injo the can. A wall-bracket opener has the advantages of being steady and ih position for lminediate use. But there are hand-opetlor& that will cut cans smoothly and especially convenient to take along picnics and* camping 'trips. A punch opbner is mosi convenient for milk and fruit juice cans. Best buy is one that makes a hole large enough for easy pouring and turns the edges of the hole inside the can for safety. Pry-off lids can be Removed with the dull side of a stiff-bladed case knife or even a sturdy spoon handle but a special tool made for the job is more efficient. Look for a feature on the can opener you Also look for a hook or loopshaped device that will remove bottle tops. Many stores ; will demonstrate openers qr let the customer "try before Buying.” Inexpensive as most openers are, it pays in saving time, effort and trouble to consider before buying how well an opener ddes its job and how mhny types of containers it is equipper to open. a- . - .

Polio Virus Identity Vital Step To Vaccine

(By L. P. GEBHARDT, M.D. Ph. t D., Professor of Bacteriology Uni- i verslty of Utah, College of Medi- i cine.) v il/i I I (Editor’s Note: Thin is the fifth t of a series of articles written for laymen 'by outstanding scientists .covering present-day knowledge I about polio based Upon the last I thirteen years of research support- i ed by the National Foundation for < Infantile Paralysis.) 1 a —. . i It was generally thought until I recently that there was only one J kind of virus capable of producing 1 the disease, poliomyelitis. Now it i is known that there are at least I three different types of viruses that i Cause the identical disease in men. I The problem of the number of ] different kinds or types of viruses ’ that could cause this disease in 1 man was not considered until a I few years ago. It Was only about < 1948 that knowledge of poliomyelitis had advanced to the stAge of , specific inquiry into such matters. ( Today, projects sponsored by the i National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis are obtaining this knowledge and will have the results by the end of 1951. Immunity Types We know today that the thrOe known types of poliomyelitis virus produce three different types of immunity or resistance to the disease when the patient recovers. Thus if an individual develops poliomyelitis and recovers from, let us say, type one virus, is not Immune to type two or type three or any other types that might eorist./ Many adults undoubtedly are immune to two or more types of the Virus, having bad sub-clinical hr symptom less poliomyelitis sometime during their lives, usually without knowing it. If we thought of the poliomyelitis • virus types as breeds of edws, for example, one type might be a Holstein, one a Guernsey, one a Here- , ford. All would be closely related , but different. It stands to reason that there probably are many cases of the same as- well as different types of viruses in a given commun- , ity, just as there are many cattle of the Bame kind, as well as pf a dis-

ferent kind, in a county or even in a given pasture. Work now under . way Isito determine how many different types exist and to identify all those belonging to the Guernsey, the Holstein type, etc. Expensive Task The problem is not as simple as identification of cattle, of course. It is an arduous and expensive task to find virus types. This is because Os thei absolute necessity of deter- . mining the exact number extant among the large number of viruses that hbve been collected world-wide by scientists. And the number must be precisely known, so that when a vaccine eventually is produced it will be effective against all known types. Thus, if some day an individual is immunized against poliomyelitis by vaccination, he will be Immune not only to the virus found tn his own community but tb all poliomyelitis viruses existing anywhere in the world. We no longer are exposed only to those infections existing in small corner of our own community, county, Mate or nation. It is Important to realize that a virus might be introduced into our com-, munlty by people travelling from one nea to another ofc even from one dountry to another. The ease of modern travel can and probably does disseminate the different types of viruses widely, it must be remembered that some humans undoubtedly are carriers of the virus of poliomyelitis even though we cannot as yfet identify them. J (A completely vaccinated child would be protected agahist all types of poliomyelitis virus that may be introduced into his environment. Unless this were so, the great effort and skill and expense of work that has been and is being done in the field of virus typing would not justify the generosity of the American people, whose contributions have made it possible. ' When you stop and think that three years and $1,370,160 will have been consumed in this one big preliminary step toward the possible production of a vaccine against poliomyelitis, the size and complexity of the task are evident.
