Diphtheria's Conquest
BY III. Arlington Bruce.

DIR. Bella Shick has been visiting
the United States. The newspapers
have been giving much space to his
doings. And rightly. For DIR. Shicli,
Niennese deviser of the so-called Shick
test for diphtheria susceptibility, is
certain to hold lasting place as one
of the really great among medical dis
coverers.
1t is not too much TO say that,
thanks TO him. that dire scOurge of
childhood, diphthcria. is in process OF
being conquered. Consider, if you
please, as Il single striking bit of owl
dence, a report issued by the New
York State Department of Health al
most coincidental with DIR. Shick' 5
arrival.
This report has received nothing
like the publicity it deserves. Written
by DR.. Frederick w. Sears, it de-
tails certain astonishing results OBJ
tanned through Shick testing in the
city Of Auburn. n. y.
Prior to the testing, diphtheria had
been increasingly prevalent in Au-
burn, manufacturing city with Il
population of $4,000. In the fall of
1921 the situation became so serious
that cultures were taken from the
threats of all the 700 children of
school in the section where diphthc-
ria was most rampant. These cultures
showed that no fewer than 314 of the
200 boys and girls were carriers Of
diphtheria germs.
With such evidence 10 present TO
the public, it was not difficult to OBJ
tain approval for a systematic effort
to stamp out the disease. In Feb
ruary, 1922. Shick testing Of thou
sands of school children began.
The theory underlying the Shick
test is that it will unfailingly show
whether the person subjected to it is
or is not susceptible to diphtheria.
When the reaction indicating sus-
ceptibility is obtained. the next step
is to administer small does Of diph-
iberia toXin-antitOXin as means
of securing immunity.
Altogether, in the spring campaign
of 1922, more than half of the school
children of Auburn We're Shick tested,
or $3.50 of total school population
of 7110. A positive reaction-that is.
n reaction denoting susceptibility-
was bblalltu ~ -DoL fiSeS. VI tnPSe,
30 per cent received at least one i'm
munizing dose of toxin-antitoxin.
Now TO let DIR. Sears himself re-
late the results:
From. April I to June . there
was but one child of school age re-
ported as having diphtheria in the
city of Auburn. and that was a child
for whom consent for testing and i'm
munizatiOn was not given. From
May s 10 June Q no case of diph-
iberia was reported in the city. From
June Q TO the present time tate in
the same month"; two children of
school age have been reported as hav-
ing diphtheria, one of whom was not
Shick tested or immunized and who
died from the effect of the disease.
an the second case it is quite evil
dent that sufficient time from the
date of minimizing had not elapsed
to completely protect the child. but
sufficient antitoXin had accumulated
in the blood to protect her from the
serious effects of the disease"
Nor. it appears. is it necessary to
immunizc an entire population in or
der 10 hold the ravagcs of diphthcria
in check. In Health News, official
publication of the New York State
Department of Health, we find this

Watching the Parade
BY John Pilgrim.

1t is years since L have thought of
The Young Duke. / might have gone
down TO my grave without thinking of
him, if it had not been for Herbert
Hoover. The secretary of commerce
got TO talking the other day of the
qualifications he asks in young man
he hires.
He must be honest and forceful--
and all that" said the secretary, run
ming through a list of the more OBJ
vious virtues. And he must be able
to get along with men,"
The Young Duke, poor devil, had
all the virtues, but he could not get
along with men. No use saying that
we were prejudiced against him be
cause he was an Englishman. We
were, perhaps, but other Englishmen
were our warmcst buddies. He was
the son of CITRATE and had the snob
bishness one often finds in that sort of
son. He knew more-had more real
knOwledge-than any one in our COM
pany. His knowledge was get-at-abe,
too. When called on he could recite
facts that stood up under the acid.
But he was the poorest paid man
on the job. No one liked him. He
averaged about four hard fights a
year. Things happened TO him that
never happened To any one else.
Finally he gave it up and moved
on. The place for the Young Duke
is on desert island, where he cannot
get any ones goat but his own. Yet
! have never known his superior in
the matter of fine. old. crusted virtue.
He was honest. That had been test
ed Il score OF times. He did his part
and little more on every job. He
had bookish knoW/dg: that we all
lacked and natural intelligence that
most Of us had never been given. He
was generous. TOO. But most Of the
men spoke of him thus:
1.-THE Young Dutei Huh That de-
scriptivc adiective,'
He just did not know how TO get
along with men. and the probabilities
are that he never learned.
One reason why is that he was so
profoundly impressed by his own SUI
periority. He would never stoop TO
learn.

income tax bill One Of the supporters
of this bill said that he was planning
to introduce a similar measure at the
| special session, if there should be one
and provided, further, that the COVER
nor's message should permit its intro
duction
Il am still of the opinion" he said,
that as a matter of principle Texas
ought to have an income tax law like
Germanys in a certain particular That
is, there should be a special tax on
uncarned increment. But I'm not going
to incorporate this feature in my bill,
for the simple reason that l believe it
would cause the defeat of the entire
measure"
In other words, this legislator had
taken counsel of eXpediency.
Another member of the Legislature
remarked that the task of raising more
revenue for the state government seemed
to have resolved itself into sort of
-plucking job. The goose that
squawked the least. he said, was in
danger Of being plucked the cleanest.
Thus did he throw out hint to the
wise.
In the last few days of every session,
Of course, many bills arc disposed of
hastily. To dispose OF some 700 meas
ures-eXclusive of rcsolutions-within
sixty days is no small job. But per-
haps never before in the legislative his
tory of Texas had last-minute cxped-
iency played such conspicuous part
in the transaction of the peoples business
as it did a few days ago. To get his
bill through, this or that member
seemed willing to make concessions
which he would not have been cX-
pectcd to consider at all earlier in the
session. Thus did eXpedicncy have vali-
Gus situations.
Some day the people Of Texas may
resort to eXpediency as means of re-
inforcing principles, and forbid their
to enact any tax laws
save those ordered by the voters. That
would be one way TO prevent cXtr&va-
gance in the administration OF the gov
eminent.

editorial comment on the Auburn cam
paign:
For all practical purposes a dis
ease like diphtheria can be controlled
in community even without securing
100 per cent immunity, but already it
is more than probable that the Ga
per cent of nOn-immunes in the school
reputation has ben cut in half. When
the work is done the chances are that
diphtheria will be eliminated as n
serious proposition in the enlightened
city of Auburn"
Surely there is a valuable lesson
here for other communities. And
surely it is not surprising that DIR.
Shick has everywhere been received
with acclaim.
