ANTI-pARALYSIS
 HOPE E REVIVED
Surgery May Solve kYs- terY = DeIilaie Opera
 lion May Give Hint

BALTIMORE, Mach r.-Dellcate surgery on monkeys brain nerves may reveal the path infantile par ilysis virus flows into mans body.
 Dr Howard A. Howe. neuroana- omis who has been working on the problem three years at Johns Hop- sins University, said today his study is to test the theory that man ac- quires his immunity to mfantiie paralysis by siiglf attacks which progress no further than his olfac- tory bulb"
 The bulb Is clump of tissue where the nerves from the nose join before they enter the brain.
 Dr. Howe explained the major result of his work so far has been the discovery of a way to give mon- key a mild form of the disease.
 This is done by cutting the nerves between the olfactory bulb and tho brain. After this operation, when the monkey contracts the disease through the nose, the infection is confined to the bulb and does not spread to the brain.
 The important question of wheth- CT this attack gives the animal im- munity from infantile paralysis. is still to be answered.
 The virus, which has never been seen nor isolated. apparently fol- lows the path of the olfactory nerve to the brain.

NEW YORK There's move ment among the local Hawaiians.
 Eleanor Powell started it in her latest picture. Honolulu" but don't get me wrong. The movement results from the contention tha t Miss Powell has got the hula all wrong.
 The Hawaiians are huhu' (that furious) about the way Miss Powell is trying to wriggle her way to new dance honors under the trade-mark of the ancient Hawaiian shuffle.
 F. c. Allen, Jr.. President Of the Hawaiian Society, says there's real ly no other way to describe it than sacrilegious.'
 He adds he's no missionary or sabbatical but explains. "The hula had its roots in religion. With the Hawaiians, it is ritual rite learned from childhood by the peo- pie of the islands. It can be learned

by outsiders after years of study, if at all. Miss Powell is a charming person a delightful dancer--but the people who produced the picture should not call what she does a hula. It's just not that at all,
 Pualani Mossman, star of a trio here and considered by many (in- cluding MT. Allen and George Jean Nathan-who once went as fer west as Hollywood as the most authentic hula dancer in New York, says sim ply that whatever Miss Powell IS trying to do, the result is not the hula.

NAILLESS CITY
 ES VlsUAlIzED;;
 BUT WOOD USED

NEW HAVEN. Conn, March l6.-- Gre tion of new cities, mostly of wood but without a nail in them. is explained as an already practi- cable sC.ution or housing problems.
 The prediction was made to the Yale-Hfe conference on house building technics which opened a session at Yale's school of fine arts. It was made by R. " Parsons, research engineer of the Johns Manville Company.
 The houses would be stuck to- gether with new resin glue" that would make the wood almost as strong as metal and fire resistant.
 10000 at Time
 At present, Parsons said, more than 66 percent of Americans are able to pay less than $50 a month rent, figure which he called im- practical to reach on the high lana values in an urban community. The answer. he declared, is certain of new cities.
 These cities would be built with in committing distance of present cities, on never less than 25,o0C acres of land, with all titles held by common authority, or by trust companies. Each would be between 30,0oO and 100000 persons, and never over. There would be surrounding green belt" as barrier. for re- creation and for gardens The houses would be erected 10,- GOO at a time The technique for doing this he said, is already avail able from work done in the U s. forest products laboratory, at Madi- son. Wis There. nails are replaced by waterproofed bond, which is really a new kind of blue.
 War Product
 The glue" is made mostly of -ormaldehyde and phenol. It is an outgrowth of @ World War sub 1 stance, used to make strong wooden airplane wings, but objec- tional then because inflammable. Government scientists have made 1t 1 fire resistant and the forest lab | oratory uses 1t to make plywood. Three thin layers of wood are sat- urated with the glue" and pressed together for walls, five plys for ! floors.
 This wood Will make both Inter- for and exterior finish, Parsons de- clared, Box-shaped girders made in this way, he asserted, are tremen- dously strong" Hardwoods cut to make mosaic-like tiles. can be heat pressed so as to be waterproof for bathrooms and kitchens. Wood primed with this new resin at the factory, and cut to be glued" into a home, would make a better house than can possibly be contrived of thousands of parts mailed together by hand carpenter labor"
