The Everglades National Park as

to preserve records of prehistoric
Florida revealed by the newly-dis-
covered mounds in the Turner

Ernest f. Coe, chairman of the

Florida's prototype of the cave

one of plan and design, organized
to accommodate facilities Of con-
venience, of transportation and
even primitive form of COM

Findings showed that the pre-
historic natives there found the
mainstay Of their diet within the
waters of the sea along which
their dwellings ranged.
On q survey trip, Coe discover
ed a tomahawk near Cape Sable.
1t was a type of stone which never
has been found in the state and
indicated, Coe said, there was
commerce with distant PAGES even
in that time. .
Coe also found fragments Of
pottery which showed a definite
design and revealed a tendency to-
ward the decorative.
The mounds in the Turner river
basin, Coo reported, are full Of

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20. -
(UP)-A "made to measure medl-
cine" method Of fighting disease,
rs revolutionary as discovery OF
anti-toxins, is believed possible
since the success of the drug
prontosil.
Gust as prontosil aids in septic
sore throat, so new drugs might
he built to fit all sorts Of bacterial
diseases Just as tailor fits clothes
TO q person." DR.. +. G. CZarnetzskl
explained. "But first we must find
out Just how prontosil works"
Prontosil was used to aid Frank
lin d. Roosevelt, Jr., when he suf-
sered from a streptococcic sore
throat. 1t is considered effective
in some cases Of erysipelas, scarlet
fever, childbirth fever, blood poi
soning and certain types Of pneu-
monia, medical men say.
CONDUCT UNIVERSITY
RESEARCH
Drs. Czarnetzski and ID. Sar-
eeant Pepper, research scientists
at the University Of Pennsylvania
Medical school, explained the
"tailor-made drug" theory.
eve know that in some mystic
rious way prontosil poisons the
bacteria by joining chemically
with them,' DR.. Czarnetzski con-
tinued. with slight changes in
the chemical formula of prontosil
we can probably make in the
laboratory chemical combinations
similar to prontosil which will fit
the Achilles heel of other forms
of bacteria-those causing men,
nights, for example"
When a physician talks about a
Specific drug, he means a medi-
cine which will kill the microbes
causing disease without injuring
the human body. Only three spe-
cities are known: Quinine, which
kills the animal parasites causing
malaria; arsphenamine, or "606,"
which kills the spirochetes Of
syphilis, and now prontosil, which
destroys streptococcic bacteria.
HOSPITALS ARE ~,
COOPERATING
Dr. Pepper, revealed to the Uni
ted Press the results Of expert
ments with ,prontosil anon gpa-
tients Of University hospital and
other cooperating Philadelphia
hospitals. The results were among
the first to be made public in the
United States. o., 90
"Prontosil in its present form is
no sure-all for streptococcic dis
cases." he said, "but we have
found number Of cases where 1t
seemed to be clearly helpful. APP
parently it must be used early to
be more effective. And ! am also
convinced that it is harmless II
properly used, although it some
times produces temporary nausea.
Curiously, DR.. Pepper said, one
patient will respond readily, while
another with the same disease
shows no improvement. He and
DR.. Czarnetzki are planning ex-
periments with rabbits to find out
whether the difference is due to
the various strains. Of streptococ-
cic bacteria. -,
Prontosil is a reddish!brown
liquid. something like tincture Of
iodine. In pill. form it leaves a
slightly bitter taste in the mouth.

describable charm and the square
inclined neckline and the majestic
sweep of the skirt so expertly styled
so as to slenderize at the same time
that it achieves a full hemline, are
all details that glorify. The sophis-
ticated simplicity of this gown
and the elegance of the all-silk satin
is it's big appeal.
An interesting feature about pres
ent party dresses is that their sill
houettes 60 to such extremes. Some
are sheathlike to the knees with
flaring hemlines and slenderized fit
ted waistlines, while others are that
bouffant it requires yards and yards
of material to make them. For the
airy-fairy types that are so en-
trancing and so beloved this sea-
son by the younger set, vaporous
filmy chiffons and billowy tulles and
nets are the logical answer.
Beautifully draped in classic lines
is the dress pictured to the left. 1t
required yards and yards of white
silk chiffon for its fashioning. The
girdled straps of narrow ribbon re-
fleet Greek influence.
To the right a most exquisite silk
chiffon evening ensemble is shown.
The girlish simplicity of this dainty
gown and cape commends this cos
tune to the young debutante. This
lovely creation naively informs you
that not all the honors are going to
all-white for in this instance the
chiffon is in the new exquisite desert
dawn tint, which is delicate pink
shade that is too lovely for words.
The gown has a halter neck which
is most becoming to the wearer.
The cape is grace itself. BY the
way, you really should have a cape
of chiffon or of net or of some type
of silk sheer to wear with lingerie
dresses, for the transparent cape is
one of fashions pet vanities this
summer.

A FTER all when it comes to look
= ing your sweetest and prettiest
is there anything in the way of a
lovely party frock more fattering
to endearing feminine charms than
all-white? Really now, is there?
Evidently fashion feels the same
way about it for with all the excit-
ing, the glamorous, the esthetic, the
hectic, the eye-appealing delectable
tones and tints on the color card
this season, comes all-white on the
scene and the contest is on, written
all over the style program and in
big headlines-white versus color!
The chic and the charm and the
immaculate nicely with which the
all white costume dresses you up
during the daytime hours is exceed
ed only by the magic and the
irresistible loneliness of the dine
ambulance and the formal party
frocks that designers are creating
of frothy white silk sheers this sum-
mer such as mousseline de soies,
silk organizes, finest dainty silk
nets and soft "drapy" flny chit
fons that sway and f1utter and dance
to the strains of rapturous music.
Then there are the stiff silks that
are such favorites and which re-
quire such queenly styling to do
them justice. Their vogue in all
white is outstanding with particular
emphasis on cleaning white satin
which this summer is more than
ever holding sway in ballroom and
at formal night functions. A most
fascinating white silk satin gown is
shown conferred in the illustration.
It's stately princess lines are de-
lightfully in keeping with the exqui-
STIFFNESS of the fabric itself. The

fireproof dish, and cover each lay
er of turnip with grated cheese,
a seasoning of pepper, and some
little dabs of butter. The last lay
ers should consist of breadcrumbs
sprinkled with grated cheese and
dotted with butter. Bake in a mod
crate oven until well Drowned.
When Drawers Stick.-B C k
lead or black lead pencil rubbed
on the edges of a drawer which
has become swollen from heat will
enable it to be opened and shut
quite easily.
Heating the Oven.-Open t h e
oven door for a minute soon after
the gas has been lit and you will
find that the oven will get hot
much quicker. BY doing so you
let out the moisture that always
collects when the oven is not in
use.
Meat PinWheels.-Biscuit dough,
leftover meat chopped with onion,
carrot and parsley. Spiced toma-
to gravy. Make your favorite bis
cult dough and roll out fairly thick.
Spread the meat mixture over the
surface, leaving an inch margin
of dough uncovered. Then roll up
dough and meat together, and
slice off pinwheels. Grease a
shallow pan and lay in the pin
wheels. Bake in moderately hot
oven until done, about 80 minutes.
DisagreeabIe Odor.-The smell
of new paint has very bad effect
on some people. To minimize it,
fill a pail of water and sprinkle
in it some hay and one or two
onions, freshly sliced. Stand this in
room newly painted, and much
of the smell will be neutralized.
Cooking Cabbage. - Cabbage
should be cooked only until tender
when tested with fork. Too much
cooking results in changed color
and an indigestible product.
