Mrs. Roosevelt and

Lately Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs.
Morgenthau, wife of the Secretary OF

might say have pooled their public ap-
pearances-out in dear old Kentucky
together just the other day. 1t is a
logical combination for they seem to
think along the seme lines and look
on the business side of charitable
enterprises; they are both experienced
in welfare work and while women OF
heart as well as mind, are not con-
tro!led alone by their sympathies.

Country - the Evils Of Paralysis,

=.
~. Until President Roosevelt's advent
into the White House the country as a
whole seemed little aroused to the
ravages of the sickness. Mr.. Kruif
points out that the laboratory fight
against infantile paralysis is terribly
expensive, because searchers can only
give the disease to monkeys, So each;
and you need exactly as many mon
keys to make sound science against
infantile paralysis as you need mice
that have taught how to cure pneu-
monia." Now the secretary of the
research foundation promises that q
research planning board, a sort of
general staff of top-ranking scien-
lists, will see to it that adequate
funds are placed at the disposal of
qualified searchers. The Investigators
won't be regimented, but the knowl-
edge gained by each will be rapidly
placed at the disposal Of all; it will be
pooled and then as quickly as possi-
bic placed in the hands Of health
men to try out in epidemic battle"
Mr.. Kruif concludes his most grip
Evening star., 1938-01-30

He says the foundation plans to carry
on the fight in a way unique in
American medical history and that
the war against the sickness will be
made on every front and in every
region mot in q helter-skelter
manner, but with the war in its
various phases planned by the best
scientific, medical, public health and
surgical brains in the country" and
adds that at last there will be ade-
quate means for research-with
knowledge of the discoveries of each
worker rapidly available to all others
till the virus of the plague Is known
in all its strength and weakness"
Grants Of Money Furnished
To Those Who Need It.
He promises, That the rank and
file of our physicians will be given
opportunity to learn the early dag
nosis Of the acute disease, and the
modern treatment that can now pre-.
vent its horribel deformities. Com
munities that lack orthopedic facili-
ties to bring wrecked victims back
to all possible strength that science
can give. will be aided by grants
of money"
1t is the aim of the foundation to
keep in touch with local fighters in
every part of the country and to aid
all those competent to carry the SCI
entif1c public health, medical and
surgical war against the paralytic
plague. Quick and rapid methods
of diagnosis and treatment will be
at the service Of local doctors.
The present inadequacy of provision
for the treatment of infantile paraly-
sis astpnishes one when he reads
what Mr.. de Kruif says: 80 there
are only ~ orthopedic hospitals in
all our country accredited by tho
American Medical Association. These
are located in only 81 States Of the
Union and are utterly unable to take
care Of the load Of scores of thou
sands Of infantile paralysis victims
Only six hospitals in our whole coun-
try will admit patients over Is year<
of age-and the number Of free beds
is tragically under that needed to

HOW TO USE YOUR
ELECTRIC iron
Stand Iron On Its Heel
While Shifting Article
Being IrOned.

A good electric iron is a sturdy
piece of equipment, strongly made
Of well-plated metal. But the con-
nections to the heating element con-
cealed inside of it may be Jared If
the iron is dropped. Dropping may
also cause the pointed end to rough
en- so that it snags delicate fabrics.
The sole plate will not give a smooth
clean finish to garments If 1t be-
comes scratched or rusty.
The cord is a particularly vulner-
able part of the iron, easily getting
out of order and causing short cir
cults or complete failure to heat.
The insulation is easily damaged If
the cord Is bent or rubbed continu-
ally in one spot. If the user pulls
on the cord to disconnect the iron
instead Of taking hold Of the plug,
the fine wires inside the insulating
wrapping may break and the cur
rent will not flow through. II brok-
en- ends of these wires touch each
other there may be a short circuit
when the iron is connected to the
socket.
Stand the iron on fits heel while
shifting the article being ironed. or
rest the iron on a metal stand or
asbestos strip on the broad end Of
the ironing board. Dlsconnect the
cord II called away to the telephone
or for any other reason. Irons left
connected may overhead and that
shortens the useful life Of the heat

responsible for many fires. especial

FARM WIVES ASK
FOR ADVICE ON
ELECTRIC RANGES
Sides and Covers of Uten-
sils Should Be Designed
to Prevent Loss of Heat.

Can the old cooking utensils be
used on the new electric range?
This question is being asked by
many women in Delaware who are
soon to enjoy the advantages Of Ru-
raj EIectrifcation and who are ex-
pecting to install electric cooking
devices in their homes.
This problem has been investi-
gated by several Experiment Sta
tions," said Miss Ruth MIXTURE,
Home Management Specialist Of the
University Of Delaware Extension
Department, who added, "The re-
ports OF these Investigations show
that kettles and saucepans Of the
right shape and with the right bot
tom surface save current"
"It is particularly important that
utensils to be used on electric
ranges have a bottom surface suit
able for absorbing as much heat as
possible from the heating element"
Miss Minturn pointed out. ''The
sides Of the utensils and the covers
should be designed so that a mini
mum amount Of heat will be lost
through them"
Experiments have shown that
saucepans with shiny polished bot
toms reflect heat away from the
contents and thus require more
electricity. Rough, dull, or even
black surfaces on the bottoms of
utensils to be used on electric
ranges permit more heat to get
through to the contents and require
less electricity.
"For some types of electric range
heating units, the bottom surfaces
OF metal pans, such as aluminium,
stainless steel, or copper should be
unpublished, rough, or better yet.
black" Miss Minturn said. ''It seems
to be of no advantage for enamel
ware saucepans. to have black un-
dersurfaces."
She also pointed out that sauce
pans and kettles with narrow, sharp
rims around the bottom which ralse
them above the heating unit require
more electricity.
