AN OLD QUACK CUSTOM

A correspondent revives an ancient
trick Of the trade:
1--WE had case Of Typhoid Malaria
in our family last year, and friends
of ours said that this disease reappears
yearly for seven years. Please advise
il this statement is true, and how we
can counteract this disease"
In the first place there is no such
disease as typhoid malaria" and never
has been, save in the lexicon Of quacks.
Long years ago when people were
very simple and doctors pronounced"
verdicts this typhoid malaria" was a
convenient dodge for the doctor with
a busy practice. He could ticket al
most anything typhoid malaria" and
hurry on to the next case. No matter
how the illness turned out, the doctors
diagnosis was satisfactory. II 1t &C.
tually proved to be plain typhoid
fever, well, the folks congratulated
themselves on their ability to choose
a doctor who could at least "break up"
the malaria. They even believed he
might have "broken up" the typhoid,
too, had it not been for the malaria
so reducing the patients strength that
the doctors medicine couldn't take
hold. If it turned out to be tuber-
culosis or septicemia or defamatory
rheumatism or epidemic meningitis,
we'll, the typhoid malaria" was funny
that way-you never could tell what 1t
wouldn't turn into"
One Of the most successful quacks
I competed with unsuccessfully rang
a still better change. His bad cases
were "typhoid-malarial flu"
Today I think our most popular
quacks label every acute illness they
don't quite savvy ''flu" for the nonce,
and a few days later when everybody
knows it IS really undulant fever or
whooping cough or tuberculosis, well,
isn't 1t just dreadful how the "flu"
changes spots over night? Or II the
indisposition doesn't seem so serious
at the first crack the charlatan opines
1t is Slight "cold''-and, as the wise
acre population knows, that may run
into" anything from measles to lock-
jaw If one doesn't take care to keep
well covered.
The seven-year superstition where
ever or whenever applied to medical
or health matters is just plain old sup
erstition.

Sciences Quest for Truth

Sciences Quest for Truth
If you have ever felt that modern
science has a cocksure and self-satis-
fled air about the body Of knowledge
it has amassed, you might heed the
words of Dr. Harlow Shapley, director
of the Harvard Astronomical Obser-
vatory.
DR.. shapley predicts that "practi-
cally all current theories" are doing to
prove mortal before so very long. The
axioms of today will be the abandon
ed and outgrown theories Of tomor-
row; and DR.. Shapley adds:
THE only eternal verities at pres
ent are the enthusiasm back of hypo-
theses, the will to know and the will
lingness to tumble as we learn to
know"
This viewpoint, to be sure, is the
general rule among scientists. But
laymen often misunderstood it, and
because they misunderstand it they
sometimes resent what they feel is a
too dogmatic and inflexible attitude
on the part OF science.
A proper understanding Of 1t might
save us from a good deal of our
creepy dread of the rising OF scien-
tific knowledge. For 1t seems, now
and then, as II the scientists were
banishing mystery from the world. It
seems as If science were about to say:
Thus and so was the world made,
and thus and so was man himself put
together, and you can make your
religion and your poetry and all Of
your dreams fit this framework or
else you can discard them-it makes
no difference, for this is the way
things are"
Now that kind of talk Is calculated
to put cold shivers down the back OF
any thoughtful man. But it is
precisely the kind Of talk that the
real scientist does not indulge In. He
is more likely to keep in mind Platos

by beings who walk against the sun

are tomorrows discarded theories;
there remains, as DR.. shapley says,
only "the will to know and the will

Costumes Again.

DERIOD pictures are coming back
again, says George Cukor, R-K-O
Radio Aim director.
And" he added, their return will
open o rich and nmitless field Of en-
tertainment hitherto almost completely
blocked by the seeming inability Of such
productions to seize and hold public
fancy"
Cukor, who directed Louise NJ Al
colts classic Little Women" believes
this production will serve to revive
period pictures, and tells why.
First pointing out that good story
is q good story whether it is enacted
in rags, satins or doublets and hose.
so long as 1t is enacted with realism,
sympathy and understanding, he de-
clared he believed the failure Of many
period pictures has been due to I'M
proper performances.
Actors" he said, "have tendency
to become rather operate and sonorous
once they don the garments OF past
era, apparently labornig under the i'm
preston that duels were fought with
the grace Of the ballet, love was made
with rounded voice and languid gestures
and walking was performed with gusto
and swagger. AZ result, nobody be-
lieves the show.
Il am convinced tnaC pellOQ pictures,
II made In conformity with the real
standards of human action, would prove
decidedly popular and open up a wide
fleld of entertainment.
Cukor made Little Women" with
this theory in mind and he expects the
production to start new cycle. 1t Is
laid in the early Cos, with elaborate at
tention to detail and an array OF hoop
skirts, pantalettes and other apparel
common to the times.
