Hitler Legend

TIERRE DEL FUEGO, Chile, April 17.—The Adolf Hitler legend grows and gathers fantastic angles in this remote part of the world. The harum-scarum rumor that Hitler and Eva Braun got out of Europe in a German submarine and landed in the desolate Patagonian area of Argentina was kicked around some nine months ago. It may have been disproved and discounted everywhere else in the world. Officially, Hitler's death may be an accepted fact as a result of investigations in Germany. But down here at the southern tip of South America, speculation is more alive than ever. Almost, every native, both of the Chilean and Argentine side of the international border, has his own set of suspicions and theories. Hitler lives in a steam-heated cave high in the Andes. Hitler is a bearded sheepherder over in Argentine Patagonia. Hitler is living at a ranch to the north, posing as a Yugoslav. Hitler is in Punta Arenas today. He is in Puerto Porvenir tomorrow. He has red hair, blond hair, no hair at all, and he is disguised as a Scotch rancher,

Science

WASHINGTON, April 17.—New leads fo better treatment of filariasis and schistosomiasis, tropical diseases encountered by our troops in the: Pacific theater of the war, and new knowledge of antimony, a chemical with both healing and poisoning properties, are being gained by co-operative research at the National Institute of Health and the Carnegie Institution of Washington. : Results to date of these studies, started during the war and still continuing, were reported by Dr. Frederick J. Brady, of the National Institute of Health, at a meeting here of the Washington Philosophical society. The studies started with a search for better medicines to treat these two tropical diseases. One of them, filariasis, sometimes develops into the much dreaded elephantiasis. In this search, 55 chemical compounds were tested. Many of these were new, some were covered by German patents and others had been previously known and used, Of the entire group, four were found more promising as remedies than faudin, the antimony compound generally used to treat schistosomiasis. However, the scientists found that any trivalent antimony compound was effective in treating these tropfecal diseases. The antimony compounds have two effects on the parasitic worms that cause filariasis: 1. They cause the miscroscopic worm embryos to disappear from the blood stream; 2. They sterilize the adult female worms which remain in the heart of the infected animal. &

Killed the Females

THIS HAS a bearing on treatment of the disease because hitherto scientists have held that treayment of filari in humans would bring on elephantiasis much ody than it would develop without treatment. According to this theory the antimony compound killed the female adult worms and the dead and dying worms in the lymph modes caused the grotesque and disabling swelling known as elephantiasis. If the adult female worms are sterilized but not killed by the treatment, then the treatment should be effective in checking the disease and preventing elephantiasis. The action of antimony, though long used in medietne and familiar to the layman in the compound, * tartar emetic, has. never been fully known, Using

My Day

NEW YORK (Tuesday) .—In talking with Madame Leon Blum yesterday afternoon, I found that she is very much interested in the setting up, throughout the world, houses somewhat similar to our international houses, which we have organized in connection with universities or religious groups in large cities. Madame Blum feels that the sacrifice which will be demanded of the young people in France during the next few years will be very great, but that, if they can see it as a great challenge to serve not only their own nation but the world as a whole, they will rise to almost any heights. I have a feeling that this same thing is true of the young people in our country. If they can feel that they have before them a very great challenge and that their role is an important one, they too, I think, will keep their enthusiasm high and set their standards of living on a.glabal plane " When 1 was young, this was expressed hy a phrase, “Hitching your wagon to a star.” Nowadays, fit hitching your ideals to the United Nations and learn. ing really to love and work with vouf brother man.

It leaves the blood stream very rapidly and, in dogs. almost half of it is concentrated in the liver. The: thyroid gland.-much to the scientists’ prise, also accumulates a large quantity of the antimony.. Relatively small amounts stay in the lymph nodes and skin. Whether this new compound has this remedial effect is not yet definitely known. The scientists do know now that the new compound is soluble in water, is less poisonous than tartar emetic and is excreted from the body faster than tartar emetic. They hope
