—Dietz on Science — FAMED FOE OF MICROBES GETS COVETED PRIZE Dr. Theobald Smith, Copley Medal Winner. Found Tick Caused Fever. BV DAVID DIETZ Hr ripp* - flow a rd Science Editor The* Copiev medal of the Royal Society of London, one of the most coveted prizes in the world of science, has just been awarded to Dr. Theobald Smith, pioneer American microbe hunter. That one who.se work had the fundamental significance of that of Dr. Smith, should still be numbered among contemporary scientists, testifies to the extreme youth of our knowledge of bacteriology. Dr. Smith was the first, man to show that inserts could be the carriers of disease germs. With that discovery, he opened anew chapter in science and civilization. He pointed the way to the eradication of yellow fever in Cuba and the Panama Canal Zone. He was the pathfinder for the courageous group of microbe hunters who have traile 1 dread diseases in the tropics. We must go back to the nineteenth century for the beginning of the story. For decades the herds of southern stockmen were devastated by Texas fever, or splenetic fever as it is now called. Because of it. many foreign countries excluded American cattle and cattle products. The disease was the greatest obstacle confronting the southern livestock industry. In 1388. the bureau of animal industry. a division of the United States Department of Agriculture, undertook a study of the disease. Dr Smith was then in the bureau. He is now on the staff of the Rockefeller Institute. Tick Spread Disease In 1808. Dr. Smith made his epochal discovery He showed that the Texas fever was caused by a microbe which whs transmitted to the cattle by the bite of an insect. The insect in question was the tick. At once work was started to eradicate the tick. The disease was suppressed to a considerable extent a.; a result and the southern cattle industry showed a corresponding growth. Dr. Smith, by his work, had uncovered a deadly alliance between two of man's most dangerous foes, insects and microbes. For it is a fact that if man ever loses control of the world, it will be these tiny competitors who will take it away from him. Man does not have to fear the large animals. Elephants, lions, tigers and similar creatures flee before the advance.of civilization They would be extinct today if various governments did not restrict the number which might be killed by hunters. Too Numerous to Count But the insects swarm everywhere When men develop large farms, they take feeding territory away from the larger animals, but they concentrate foodstuffs for the insects. It is impossible to comprehend the numbers of insects in the world. Competent authorities estimate that there often are as many as 30.000,000 aphids on one tree. We have our troubles keeping insects from destroying our sources of food. But when insects ally themselves with microbes, they become man's most dangerous enemies. Dr. Smith's work taught men to suspect insects wherever diseases were epidemic. Os course, insects were not always to blame, but in many cases they were. Secondly, he taught how a disease might be controlled even when medical science was unable to cure the disease. It was in this way that yellow fever was stamped out. Yellow Fever Halted Major Walter Reed and his brave group of associates, some of whom died horrible deaths from yellowfever. had no cure for that dread disease. But by proving that it was the stcgomia mosquito, the pretty silver-barred mosquito, which carried the disease, they made it possible to stamp out the disease by destroying the breeding places of the mosquito. As soon as Major Reed and his martyrs had established the cause of v'Vlow fever. Colonel William C. G r vs. then the chief sanitary ofwith the United States army Juba set about cleaning up the ceding places of the mosquito. There has been no yellow fever in Cuba since. When in 1904. the United States undertook to build the Panama canal. Colonel Gorgas was sent to Panama to repeat his Cuban performance Until then the Isthmus of Panama had been a narrow land of evil repute, the White Mans Grave.” it was called. The French had failed to build the canal, not because of a lack of engineering skill but because of their inability to compete with the plagues. Gorgas and his germ fighters paved the way for the American engineers. And so it might be said that the Panama canal really started when Theobald Smith went hunting for the cause of Texas fever.

Contract Bridge

Today’s. Contract. Problem South has the contract for four spades. West opens tho playing with the king of diamonds. How would you, in the East, play your hand to be sure of making the most possible tricks for the defense?

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. F„ M'KENNEY Serretarv American Bridge League C CONTRACT is a partnership A game. Either you and your partner have a fine partnership game or you are at the mercy of each other if you try bidding only thirteen cards. As I often have stated before, the better players of the country today do not believe in pre-emptive bidding. About all that pre-emptive bidding does is to shut your partner out. While I have seen an occasional man win with pre-emptive bidding, I have seen thousands of points lost by players who have tried it. Every time you rebid a suit, you must remember that it shows additional length. While you may open with a four-card suit, you should not rebid a suit of this length. A rebid shows at least five cards

—a second rebid will show at least six cards, and if the hand is rebid a third time, it shows either seven cards or. more likely, honors. Therefore, do not think that bidding a suit over partner’s suit, even though he has rebid the same suit, is stubbornness. Make your bids intelligently and know when to stop. n a IT is surprising to see the number of players who got into trouble on today's hand. South's original bid should be one club—not two or more. North responds with a diamond, and with a seven-card suit and 100 honor? South is justified in bidding three clubs before showing the spade suiu North bids three diamonds. South shows a second suit with a bid of three spades, and now. when North bids four diamonds. South must

realize that North’s hand is of absolutely no value to him and that North needs no diamond support—he has rebid them twice. South's hand contains in-cards, North probably has nothing but diamonds. Therefore, even though South does not have a diamond in his hand, he knows that the only safe place to play the hand is in diamonds. Therefore, he should respond with five diamonds. The hand is made easily at five diamonds. (Copyright, 1933. by NEA Service. Inc.)
