Progress In Is Years

The day OF the famous pony express across the
western plains seems as far away from us as the
day OF the Roman emperors. But time somehow
gets telescoped, in America. The 18th anniversary or
the first trip OF the pony express was celebrated
Just the other day--a surprising reminder that there
are living men who can actually remember back 70
that distant. legendary period.
What a contrast between the old and the new
this celebration displayed The pony express riders
strained every nerve and sinew to make the trip
from ST. Joseph. Mo. TO the west coast In q matter
Of weeks.
Today a~iTplanes cover the distance N less than a
day. The LATEST auto tourist can do the trip IN a
third OF the time the hard-riding old-timers re
CURED.
That contrast Is a measure Of the almost unbe-
lievable physical progress that the country has
made In the last three-quarters OF a century.

II Is. interesting 10 notice that one Of the big Jobs
TO be done under the s4.ss0,Oo0.0 900 vork-relief pro-
gram ID 10 be the taking Of q nationwide census OF
unemployment. Formerly iobless white collar
workers will be put to work on the task.
Here is something that should have been started
years ago. We have known ever since 1880 that We
had a great number Of unemployed people. but not
until now have We gone to the trouble Of counting
them and finding out exactly how many there are
or what circumstances they are in.
Our refusal TO take such an obviously necessary
step in a shining example Of governmental folly.
The job is long overdue; II Is good 70 know that
1t will at last be done. and 1t would be even better
10 know that II would be done at regular intervals
hereafter, 10 that we could have a constant check
on the size of our greatest internal problem.

Double Care Required

Two children we're roller skating in a residential

Tight or Short Shoes
May Bend In Toes
BY DR. FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal Of the American Medical Association
and OF Hygeia. the Health Magazine

When you wear shoes that are too tight, and par
ticularly shoes that are too short, the toes are like
IL to be forced back into that right angle position
that is called hammer toe" OF course. some chill
dren are born with hammer toes.
For either torm-that Is. whether the child Is born
with hammer toe or develops It later as a result OF
wearing the wrong kind Of shoes-the treatment Is
essentially the same.
One method Of treatment Of hammer toe Is sim
ply to amputate the whole toe. We really get along
quite well with three or four toes, yet, Of course,
there are many people who do not like to lose any
sections Of the body unless absolutely necessary.
For these people there are available other opera
tons which are q little more complicated.
In one of the methods the toe is opened and the
small bone in the toe nearest to the foot is re-
moved.
AS a result of this operation. the hammer toe dis
appears, but, OF course, the joint becomes ineffec-
tive and the toe can be bent either upward, or
downward or to the side. becoming what Is called q
fail toe. This is not very important TO people who
wear shoes most Of the time.
This operation. however. is not nearly as good as
those which give the person a practically normal toe
after the operation. In one Of these the tendons
are operated on and the toe is put in a splint' which
holds It In proper position as 1t heals.
In another. the Joint involved is operated on, with
the result that the toe appears normal and is able
to grip the ground like a normal toe. although there
may be some stiffness IN the JOINT after the opera
ton.
This type Of operation is not exceedingly diff
cult, and any OF the men who specialize In opera
tons on bones and joints should be able to per-
form It satisfactorily in most instances.
In developing these operations. new instruments
and splints have been invented. which aid the doc
tor In obtaining a more nearly perfect result.

Difficult Fight Seems in Sight of
Victory

There was nothing especially exciting about the
news that seven fat English hedgehoGs we're landed
An New York City the other day. But that bit OF
news may be the prelude to victory in one Of the
most amazing fights the human race has ever waged.
IL IN TO be- the fate Of these h~edgehogs to suffer
and die OF yellow fever. somewhere in the asceptic
rooms OF the Rockefeller Institute. II things 20 as
The scientists hope. the little animals viii make pos
able the cheap propagation OF yellow fever vaccine,
and mans conquest Of this plague will finally be
complete.
10 t more than 30 years since the first great bat
ts against yellow fever was won.
Dr. Walter Reed and his colleagues IN Cuba dis
go erred that the plague Is transmitted by the fe-
male stegomyia mosquito. They got no nearer to q
cure or a vaccine for the disease than they had been
before. but they at least made 1t possible for the
plague to be- abolished wherever conditions were such
that the mosquito could be abolished
An N result, such plague spots aS Havana and
Panama we're cleaned up. and yellow fever was
driven out.
But the victory was only partly won. There are
many places tn the tropics where II lis utterly i'm
possible 70 destroy all mosquitoes. In such places
yellow fever rs nv great n curse as ever.
SO the scientists next turned their attention to
the quest for q vaccine which would provide i'm
munity against the disease In The same way that
immunity against typhoid or smallpox is provided by
existing vaccines.
The search has been Ions, difficult. and dangerous.
Many scientists themselves contracted the plague
and died OF II during the quest. For a time 1t look
ca AZ " no living creatures on earth except man and
the stegomyia mosquito we're susceptible to yellow
fever.
Then. In 1928. Drs. Stokes, Bauer, and Hudson sue
ceeded In giving the disease to the rheSuS monkey
OF India This was d great advance, but IL stnl did
not make possible the production OF a cheap vaccine
In large quantities.
AT last, less than a year ago, Drs. Findlay and
Clarke OF England discovered that the common
.MaGlish hedgehog can also be inoculated with the
Ease. This brought a cheap vaccine within sight,
supply or h~edgehogs being more abundant than
or rhesuS monkeys.
ow the Rockefeller Institute workers are TO put
natter to the teset. using these luckless little
features from England In experiments which may
naIly Danish yellow fever from the earth.
Il Is q long and heroic story. Men OF all nations
have co-operated In the fight. The whole thing is
to restore ones faith in the human race.
