SHORT COURSE IN
STREPTOCOCCOLOGY

! Whether you consider reptiles IN.
teresting and beautiful or not, Ger.
tainly your education is defective il
it does not include an elementary
knowledge of herpetology.
Just so. every one should have a
short course in streptococcology fol
the sake of his own health and safe
ty. Here it Is. Take 1t or remain
ignorant, as you prefer.
OF the several types Of bacteria or
germs that commonly produce in
Illumination or suppuration one call
ed Streptococcus because 1t occurs In
the form OF chains like strings Of
| beads rather than in single units
like grains or seeds (Coccus) or
groups or punches like a bunch of
grapes (Staphylococcus), is the most
virulent and malignant to man.
Most laymen have read or heard of
, the part played by one or another
strain of Streptococcus in outbreaks
Of septic sore throat carried in milk
from COWS that have an inflamma-
ton of the udder. Then there Is the
frequent association OF Streptococ-
Gus with acute infectious arthritis
dnflammatory rheumatism, rheuma-
tic fever.
We know that erysipelas is caused
by StreptococcuS. Drs. George F..
and Gladys Dick reported in 1921
that they had produced typical sore
throat by inoculating volunte r S
(students) with pure cultures Of a
hemolytic (blood destroying or cor
puscle -dissolving) Streptococcus iso-
lated from early acute cases of scar
let fever.
Again in 1928 the same famous
brother and sister team, having
proved that one may contract scarlet
fever without the rash, reported that
in further experiments they had OBJ
served that the same Streptococcus
hemolyticus may cause typical scar
let fever in one person, sore throat
and malaise and fever without any
rash in second person, and perhaps
no i'll effect at all IN a third person
who happens to be immune.
Still later the Drs. Dick reported
their observations of the effects of
inoculating volunteers with hemolytic
Streptoccccus cultures obtained from
the skin of patient suffering with
erysipelas; the students inoculated
felt o. k for from A to As hours
after the incubation.
The time elapsing from the NOM
ent of infection to the beginning of
illness is called the incubation Pc
Rod. In scarlet fever the incubation
period is ordinarily three or four
days, but sometimes only 80 to 40
hours and in few cases as long as
six days.
At the end of the a. to IS hours
incubation, the students developed
actue sore throat and tonsillitis, with
fever, malaise, headache, leukocyto-
sis Sudden increase in the number
of white corpuscles, phagocytes, in
the blood. The illness lasted three
or four days. Cultures from the
Threats of these volunteer invalids
showed the same hemolytic Strep-
tococcus as had been obtained ordin-
arily from the inflamed skin of the
erysipelas patient, but none OF the
volunteers had erysipelas.
Thus 1t is evident that the same
germ may cause scarlet fever in one
patient. sore throat and fever with
out rash in another patient, or cry
sipelas in still third case.
And that isn't the half of what

House Votes for Beer


Those who saw visions of beer be-
fore Christmas, have still long time
to wait. There seems only a slight
hope that the senate will concur in
the house action and over all hangs
the probability of presidential veto
If the beer bill gets as far as the
white house.
The vets declare way back in 1917
or 1918, President Hoover wrote
somebody or other letter that three
per cent beer was not intoxicating
They hope that II the beer bill reach
es the presidential desk Hoover will
not veto It.
In any event, the drys will contend
that three per cent beer is q vicious
drink, den1oralizing as well as in
toxicating. That can be placed down
now as fact. They viii follow this
decision up with legal steps. II, by
chance, the beer bill becomes the Law
Of the land. Then will follow LONG

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER a. 1882
Family Escapes
But Animals Die

Minot, N. D.. Dec. 24.-(R)-Five
persons narrowly escaped death, and a
cat and a dog persisted when fire
about a. m. Saturday badly damaged
a dwelling in Minot occupied by the
George Marlton family.
The contents of the house were al
most a total loss, firemen said.
MIR. and Mrs. Marion and two chill

stairs. Mr.. and Mrs. Marlton and the
two children were forced to descend a
stairway through flames and smoke in
order to escape from the house. The
family lost all its personal belong
ings.
The dog, firemen said, was taken out
Of the house by Marion, but jumped
back into the blazing structure. The
origin OF the fire is not known.

still unbroken. 1t was one of the
most desperate attempts to break
down q denial in my experience in
the department. Outside the door
Of the examination room two
newspaper men had dragged
table from the Criminal Identifi-
cation Bureau and sat there, play
ing "Seven-up" and making side
bets on the result. When we led
Doctor Maskell out Of the office
and took him to the washroom,
one of the reporters remarked that
the doctor appeared\t to be stand
ing the ordeal of grilling much
better than his tormentors. We
took him back, and then the
Commissioner again took charge.
First Thatcher Colt reasoned
with him. Over and over again
he took him through his story, but
Maskell stuck to his single yarn
without the slightest significant
change, recounting the hours at
which he had delivered the pres.
ents, his return to his office, the
interview with the mysterious
woman, his dinner later in a res
taurant Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, Doc.
tor Maskell was still far from be.
ing a broken man. His energy
was equal to Thatcher Colts rest
less vitality. Finally, Dougherty
stepped to the fore, whispered into
the ear of Thatcher Colt, and the
Commissioner nodded in skeptical
acquiescence.

erty. II want you to come with
me-"
Thus it was that in the dark
hours of that morning, Dougherty,
followed by Colt and myself,
motored Humphrey Maskell to the
Morgue, at Bellevue Hospital, 26th
st. and East River. He walked
into the building like a man led
into an ambuscade. There he was
confronted with the body. At this
dreadful sight, Doctor Maskell
could not remain unmoved. He be-
trayed signs Of nervousness and
repulsion. But who could say
they were indication Of fear OF
guilt? Finally the police brought
him back to the examination room,
with no admission drawn from his
stern lips. They were weary, all
of them, with the nights inquisi.
ton, but secretly they marvelled
At the strength, the energy, the
undaqnted vitality Of their pris-
oner.

Tamper With Planes
In Hangar at MinOt

Minot, N. D., Dec. 24.-(R)-Police
wondered Saturday whether an at
tempt had been made to steal one OF
both of the airplanes in hangar at
the port of Minot.
It was discovered Friday that
someone had broken into the hangar
Switches on both airplanes had been
turned on and there were evidences
that an attempt had been made to
start the motors.
Nothing was found missing from
the hangar.
Discovery of The tampering was
made by H. S. Elliott, who has been
visiting the hangar occasionally dur
ing the absence of Cecil Shupe, who
is in charge of the port.

A Battle of Wits

He was not under arrest, al
though there was more than suf-
ficient evidence to hold him under
short affidavit, or to Jail him in
the House of Detention as a ma
terial witness. No forcible per-
suasion was necessary; he willingly
consented to the almost inhuman
treatment to which he was now
exposed. OF course, a man of
Maskell's standing was in no dam
ger Of beating from the police. Nor
by this do I mean to pretend that
physical violence is no longer
practised. It is still practised, al
though not as much as before. But
such treatment is reserved for men
who will respond to nothing else,
who are themselves violent crea-
lures inundated by nothing ex-
cept violent physical pain. More

in court. A prisoner roughly treat
ed in the third degree can call his
lawyer the next day, exhibit his
bruises, have them photographed,

credit his enforced revelations.
The chief value lies in getting q
confession that can be substanti-
ated by confirming details subse-
quently checked up. With men Of
the stamp Of Doctor Maskell, the
police have more subtle methods;
before the night was over Doctor
Maskells was sure to wish that
physical violence was all he had to
face.
Hogan led the suspect down
stairs to a brightly lighted office,
where a battalion Of questioners
awaited him. The attack upon
him began at once, launched by

ready answers, still faced the on
