J COLD AND FLU GERMS ARE NOT RELATED, REPORT

Ailments Are Two Distinct

Diseases, Scienists Reveal At Meeting.

(Editorial, Page 12)

By Science Service PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5—The common cold and influenza are two distinct diseases, each caused by a different germ, and not just differ-

ent stages of the same disease, as many people believe. The invisible virus germ of the common cold and the equally invisible and more deadly virus germ of influenza are “similar, perhaps, but not identical,” Dr; Yale Kneeland of Columbia University. College’ of Physicians and Surgeons reported to the American Association for the Advancement of Science here. Members of the association who met in Atlantic City all last week moved over here for a final session before adjourning. Viruses and the diseases they cause, which range from the common cold to smallpox, infantile paralysis and epidemic encephalitis (sleeping sickness), were under discussion all morning.

Transforms One to Another

The feat of transforming the virus of one disease into that of another was described by Dr. George Packer Berry of the University of Rochester. - The diseases were maladies that afflict rabbits. One, called myxoma, is malignant and very infectious, and always ends fatally. The other is a nasty appearing disease called fibroma which, however, never kills the animals. The virus

"of the harmless disease was trans-

formed into the virus of the fatal disease in the _experiments Dr. Berry reported. The transformation of one disease germ into another has a dramatic appeal to the layman, but scientists are more interested in the light it sheds on the nature. of viruses. Studies - like this may lead to a sicentific substitute for Pandora’s box by which the ancient Greeks expalined the origin of ¢lisease. The viruses of the two quite different rabbit diseases are apparently related in one important respect—their antigens. These are the substance in disease germs, which call up certain disease-fighting forces of the body known as antibodies.

Get Better Vaccines

Antigens from various disease germs are used in the form of vaccines to increase the body's resistance to disease by stimulating it to produce a plentiful supply of antibodies. Studies of antigens undertaken in thé hope of finding more effective ways of using them to protect against disease were reported by Dr. Stuart Mudd of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “The use of bacterial vaccines to protect against disease and to produce curative .serums has often been limited by the toxicity of the vac-| cines used,” Dr. Mudd explained, “If the pure substances required for immunization could be obtained, free from the other toxic substances, the problem would be greatly simplified. On the other hand the chemical methods used to obtain immudizing bacterial substances have been too drastic and have often destroyed the value of the very substances it was desired to use.” Dr. Mudd described three new physical methods of disintegrating bacteria without destroying their immunizing substances. With one of these methods, Dr. Mudd and associates, Drs. E. J. Czarnetzky and Horace Peftit and Mr. David Lackman, obtained and purified the delicate immunizing substances’ of hemolytic streptococci. These germs are the ones which cause septic sore throat, scarlet fever and many other serjous diseases of men and other animals. The surface immunizing substance obtained from these germs can be broken down into fragments. One of them has been used to distinguish streptococci which cause human disease from those causing animal diseases. The other has been used to. classify the human streptococcin into types. The delicacy of the immunizing substances, Dr. Mudd found, is due to the fact that they can be readily oxidized.

New Tool for Virus Study

A new tool for use in the study of viruses was described by Dr. Ralph W. G. Wyckoff of the Rockefeiler Institute for Medical Research. It is, in Dr. WyckofI’s words, “a simple air-driven ultracentrifuge,” but only a scientist would call it simple. It is a complicated and powerful piece of apparatus which whirls viruses around’ as milk as whirled in =a cream Separator, only at such high

speeds that the infinitesimal virus

molecules settle out. The force required for this is from tens to hundreds of thousands of times that of gravity. Dr. Wryckoff’s ultracentrifuge is simple by comparison with a previous model, built in 1912 by another scientist, which was so costly to build and operate that until last year no duplicates had been made. The Wyckoff model should not cost more than three or four hundred dollars to duplicate. With the aid of this new machine, Dr. WyckofI said, scientists have the basis for a method of preparing pure virus without having recourse to chemical treatment.. This opens up the way to the study of viruses

Edward B. Raub Is Elected Council Head for Fifth Time

(Editorial, Ps Page 12)

Edward B. Raub today began his “his fifth term as president of the City Council following his re-election at the first 1937 meeting last night.

He is a Democrat.

Dr. Silas J. Carr, presiding in the absence of Mr.. Raub, who was ill,

was re-elected vice president.

Dr. Carr also is a Democrat.

Mr. Raub served two terms as City Council president in 1928 and 1929 and was renamed to that position in 1935.

The council also re-elected Wil-#

liam A. Oren as its representative on the City Plan Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals. The elections last night were unanimous. Three ordinances, one new and two continued from Dec. 21, were passed at the meeting. A new bill was passed under suspension of rules, empowering Walter C. Boetcher, controller, to borrow $650,000 to defray expenses until the collection of taxes next June.. Mr. Boetcher explained that the city has a surplus of only $9000 and that a loan is necessary to carry the city through the first six months of this year. The council also approved an appropriation measure granting $3000 to pay expert accountants and engineers to gather data for the Indianapolis Light & Power Co. case. Another ordinance, also proposed at the final 1936 meeting, appropriating the proceeds of the bond sale tq the construction of a new City Hospital Service Building, was approved. Two controversial ordinances, one proposing an increase in police and firemen’s pay and the other proposing to abolish antipicketing regulations, were continued. Four new ordinances proposed at last night’s session also held for second reading. One asked for a $1200 appropriation for additional help in the Municipal Court division of the city prosecutor’s office. Another requested an appropriation of $1500 for services of special counsel in the Indianapolis Light & Power Co. case. “The third asked establishment of a loading zone in front of 239 E. Maryland St. The fourth requested that the Works Board be authorized to purchase five five new trucks.

CIVIC GROUP RENEWS TRAFFIC LIGHT PLEA

The East Michigan Street Civic League is to repeat its request to the Safety Board that an electric traffic light be installed at Michigan and LaSalle Sts. scene of many automobile accidents. Action was taken at a meeting last night in the Dearborn Hotel. It was announced the organization has ascembled detailed figures on pedestrian and automobile traffic at the intersection.

which are relatively unstable or present only in small amounts. The new machine can also aid scientists in measuring the size of virus particles, in telling whether a preparation is pure and what may be the molecular weight of its impurities, and in determining whether a virus consists of one molecular species or a family of related compounds.

GAS TAX PAYMENTS SET ALL-TIME HIGH

Gasoline tax collections established a new all-time high during 1936, totalling $22,127,805, Lawrence F. Sullivan, State Auditor, announced today. This is an increase of $1,949,686 over 1935. The 1936 gasoline consumption totalled 553,126,816 gallons, compared with 503,454,898 in 1935, he said.

COUNTY ROAD

DEBT REDUCED BY $1,430, 245

Moraiorim ow of 32 Responsible for Slash, Records Reveal.

By NOBLE REED

The county road building moratorium law, passed in 1932, has resulted in a reduction of $1,490,245 in Marion County’s. road bond in= debtedness, records in County Auditor Charles Grossart’s office disclosed today. - The county's road bond debt in

.{ 1932, when the General Assembly

prohibited county officials to issue road-financing bonds for five years, totaled $2,068,805. This has been reduced to $578,560 through payment of maturing bonds. Of the $2,068,805 debt five years ago, $1,374,485 was under the county unit road fund and $694,320 was charged to the township's gravel road fund. The county unit debt has been reduced to $451,320 and the township debt has been cut to $127,240. Moratorium Law to Expire

The moratorium law ‘will expire Sept. 1, unless the new Legislature continues it. County officials said they expect the Legislature, however, to enact a new road bond law which would permit building of some county roads. County - Commissioner Clarence Wheatley said $150,000 will be needed this year to repair and build new roads in Marion County.

Two Townships’ Slates Clean Only two townships in the county are free of road debts. They are Center, which owed $108,545 in 1932,
