had been presented for the honor" +"
She was merely a bacteriologist, she
insisted who had spent the greater
part of her life searching for deadly
little bugs" that bring suffering and
death to mankind.
Why had she taken up bac-
teriology? She had to decide on
something when she entered Cor
nell, she explained. so she took up
science. No. she hadn't specialized
in bacteriology until, a graduate
from Cornell. she went to the Uni
versity of Wisconsin for course in
animal industry. And then-well,
she came to Washington and be-
came just one of hundreds who
worked at the Agriculture Depart
ment.
1t was DR.. Evans who discovered
the relationship between two i'm
portant "bugs''-the organism which
causes contagious abortion in cattle
to the organism causing the disease
known as Malta fever in goats. Both
are contagious to man.
Undulant fever, Brucellosis to the
scientist and Malta fever to others,
was explained as a malady causing
pains in the joints. fevers and de-
pressions. 1t also plays havoc with
the nervous system.
ANY one who uses raw milk runs

the risk of Brucellosis." Dr.. Evans
said. However, the disease is en-
tirely unnecessary for people who
use pasteurized milk
More than so years ago. she said.
an English doctor. Bruce. discovered
bacteria in goats milk which caused
a prolonged fever, suffered by hun
dreds of English soldiers stationed
at Malta. Ten years later, DAN
ish investigator, Bangs. discovered
bacteria which caused extensive
losses among cattle.
These two discoveries might ap-
pear little related. But her own
discovery, made while she was a
young bacteriologist in the Agri-
culture Department, proved the two
bugs" were twin brothers and
could be disastrous to all human
who drank raw milk.
II had an opportunity to make an
observation which led to the recog-
milton of undulant fever in coun-
tries all over the world where cattle
are the milk animals she eX-
planned.
DR.. Evans told how pasteurization
was slowly brought about after the
source of the malady was recognized.
Children, however. who are the
greatest milk drinkers, apparently
do not develop the disease in recog-
nizable form.
Undulant fever is still difficult

Many of the children who have
attended the Brooklyn Museum. the
oldest in existence. have grown up
and succeeded in professions which
they started there as childish hob
bies, 1t was said.
Belief that as result of the de-
fense program there is an increased
demand for facilities to meet chill
dren's leisure-time needs is expressed
in letter that will go out this week
to persons who have indicated in
terest in the project.
Pointing to the recent influx Of
families with children to Washing
ton, the letter declares that schools.
Fairgrounds. libraries. settlement
houses. boys clubs already are filled
to overflowing.
THE School Board has had to
ask Congress for a supplemental
appropriation of almost $500 000-'to
accommodate the unusual increase
In school population due to the ma
tional defense program.
Solution to After School
Recreation Problem.
Suggesting that children's after
school recreation is apt to come
from the radio and the movies,
where they are subjected to the
horror Of war. or play in the streets,
where death too often awaits them.
the committee presents the museum
as an answer to the problem.
"Children's museums are exciting
places" the letter says. They have
to be-for the child, comes in in his
or her-playtime. Here he can find
the natural world. Here he can see,
handle and work with exhibits. He
can take home for study small
case with a bird in it, and perhaps
a nest and an egg-as one would
borrow a book from the library.
Here the children will see free
educational movies. They will hear
recordings of good educational radio
programs"

"Smear Politics" Wins
Hugh Bone Acclaim
By D. w. HULL

Another Greenbelt author comes
to the fore in the person of Hugh
Bone, well known in town as a
former President of the Green
belt Health Association and bet
ter known elsewhere as Assistant
Professor of Political Science at
the University of Maryland. His
40 page brochure on smear" pol
itics is a study of the campaign
literature" Issued during the 1870
presidential contest. Apparently,
not an epithet in the English Ian
guage was left out.
The volume and nature of the
attack on both Willkie and Roose-
welt will be a surprise to many
persons. Each candidate, as DR..
Bone amply shows, was the tar
get of abusive criticism directed
at his ideas, actions, family, re-
ligion and whatever else could be
vilifed. Norman Thomas called
the campaign "disgraceful"; DR.
Bone proves it by quoting from
the leaflets and advertisements is
sued by all sides. These make IN
teresting reading and lead one to
wonder about the content of the
oral propaganda which was prob
ably far more vicious. A partial
solution to the problem is the sug-
gestion that all campaign litera-
ture must clearly indicate its
sponsors.
This study was published by
the American Council on Public
Affairs, the same organization
which recently published Mr.. Full
mer's recent commentary on
Greenbelt, and was an outgrowth
of DIR. Bones work with the SEN
ate Committee on Campaign Ex-
penditures.
