Measles Once Dire Scourge
Disease, Prevalent Just Now in the United States, has
Wiped Out Whole Populations in the Past;
Few Escape Malady.

Practically every cas- Of measles
develops q mild pneumonia"
For many centuries the disease
was not differentiated from small
pox.
Nearly every individual in the civ
ilized world has the disease, know
ingly or not, at some time.
1t recurs in periodic waves. with
peaks for each community every two
and-a-half or three years.
II has been one Of the most seri-
Gus scourges of mankind, wiping out
whole populations.
These are some of the curious
facts pointed out by public health
service doctors regarding the disease
which has reached the highest peak
ever recorded In the United States,
with a record of nearly $1,000 ST.
multaneous cases scattered all over
the country.
It long has been known that the
greatest danger from measles was
the possibility of developing pneu-
monia. But, In a recent study of 900
cases by doctors at Bellevue hos
pital, New York city, in which X-ray
pictures of the chests were taken,
every one showed a mild inflamma-
ton of the lungs. called capillary
bronchitis" which constitutes mild
pneumonia.
The disease first al recognized,
1t was pointed out, by an Arab doc
tor named Phazes who lived In the
Tenth century. He described 1t as
q mild form Of smallpox. Not until
late in the Seventeenth century did
the English physician, Sudenham,
finally distinguish measles from
smallpox and scarlet fever.
During the American Civil war the
disease broke out in a virulent form
In both armies. For the Confeder-
ates 1t constituted one of the major
causes of death and was IN impor-
tant factor In depicting the man
power of the South. The Union
soldiers had a low death rate. 1t is
believed that more of them came
from cities where, In common with
urban population in general, they
had developed a better immunity.
In 1875 a British warship carried
measles to the Fiji islands. Within
four months 10000 out of a popula'
ton Of 10000 were dead. A few
years later 1t was accidentally intro
duced into Greenland. 1t almost
wiped out the Eskimo population
Ever since, extreme precautions have
been taken against allowing ar
American or European to land or
the island.
The cyclic nature of the disease
now is thoroughly recognized, &C
cording to public health service doc
tors. These cycles do not embrace
the country as a whole but vary witt
localities.
The measles curve still Is rising

Far Back in History

Did mai originate In the heart of
the Sahara? A party of Italian scien-
lists seeking traces Of the beginning
of the human race In the Fezzan re-
gion of Tripoli, recently came upon
giant representations of the Maure-
tanian bull believed by many to exist
only In the fancy of Herodotus, the
father Of history, who admitted his
accounts of them were based on
stories handed down from distant
times.
The famed Mauretanian bull, as
described by Herodotus, always
walked backward while eating. Enor-
nous horns, which became entangled
In the bushes, made reverse grazing
necessary. The images found on the
Fezzan rocks bear out this one hun
dred and ifty-thousand-year-old
legend.

One of the most important aids to
good cookery is to have your kitchen
properly equipped, writes a Domestic
Science specialist In the London
Daily Mail. What used to be lux
uries In this llne-cabinets, refriger-
ators, and so on-are now within
the reach of the majority Of careful
housewives. But even If you cannot
afford these labor savers. there Is
scope for efficiency In the smallest
details. 1t pays to give attention to
such things as really sharp knives
for illeting and trimming, a sharp,
two-pronged steel fork for turning
the breakfast bacon, a really efficient
tin opener, and wooden spoons that
are not too clumsy or too worn.
In this connection | always keep a

Her mouth set q little harder, her
black eyes we're narrow between
their dusky lashes. She squatted
patiently by the heap Of skins and
blankets, her fingers On Little
Moons hot wrist.
So the hours passed-and the
crisis came, a tense. painting hour,
with the silver thread In the tube
running up a CHASTITY record, and
the patient dark head rolling at last
In uncomfortable suffering.

And after q timeless space
when she neither moved nor took
her eyes from the others features,
there came a creeping stiffness, a
hush, a cessation of movement. The
weary head dropped sidewise, the
thin loose hands became quiet.
Sonya loosed them and reached

a cup of sterile water. This was
the crux, and she must not fail

She did not fail.
With the sun on the western rim
of the austere desert the Indian
came up the wash with one child
asleep on his shoulder, the other on

Far off he saw Sonya standing at
the hogan's door and stopped a long
moment to study with his eagle
eyes her pose, her manner
She stood tall and straight, and
one hand was laid high up on the

l and May l. There is no very spe-
ciic treatment. The mlcro-organism
causing the disease is unknown. 1t
develops its own immunity. Prac-
tically every adult is safe from 1t.
Some of the public health service
staff have resorted to the use of a
serum made of their own blood as a
preventive measure for their chill
dren-but the wisdom of this must
be decided in each case and is up to
the family physician. The efficacy
Is by no means assured.
Before the days of Phazes nothing
is known of the history of measles,
but a good deal can be deduced. At
n time it must have almost wiped
out the human race. Only those
survived who were especially re-
sistant to its ravages. They acquired
a still greater resistance. In some
way they passed on either the nat
ural or the acquired resistance to
their children. Countless generations
ago such a high resistance had been
built up In the white race that a
disease once deadlier than smallpox
or bubonic plague came to be looked
upon as a mild malady Of children.
Nearly every one has measles be-
tween the ages of two and ten. The
older the child, generally speaking,
the less danger. A case in an infant
under six months Is practically un-
heard of. Every one is given a six
months immunity by the blood Of
the mother. If 1t were not for this
protective measure a measles cpl
demic would probably be about as
serious a blow as could fall upon a
people.
There Is a slight variation In viru-
lence from peak to peak. This time
the disease Is not very virulent.
Practically every part of the coun-
try Is affected. Usually the disease
tends to be concentrated In certain
localities during a particular peak.
