Zoo Guard Stricken
With Parrot Fever,
Aviary Is Closed
Attendant Doing WeIr;
Three Amazon Birds
Die Of Disease

Gerald Miller, AZ, Zoo attendant
hospitalized with parrot fever which
has caused the death Of three
birds in the Zoos aviary. was re-
ported to be doing fine" last night
by his physician, Dr.. H. T. Morse.
The entire birdhouse at the Zoo
was ordered closed to the public
for an indefinite period yesterday
after consultation by officials of
the District Health Department
with Dr.. William NJ. Mann, director
OF the Zoo. DR.. James Cummings
of the health department, said how
ever, there is no cause for alarm.
Three parrots of the genus ANA
zona. birds from the area drained
by the Amazon River in South
American, are the casualties so far.
DR.. Mann said last night that the
origin Of the cases observed had
not yet been determined, and its
start was particularly hard to un-
derstand because all of the birds
stricken were veteran residents Of
the Zoo. Psittacosis, medical term
for parrot fever, he explained, usu-
ally occurs only through birds
brought recently into captivity.
Not Recent Acquisitions.
One Of the victims was bird
brought to Washington from Bo-
livia in 1922 by DR.. Mann himself,
he said. Another he said, was a
Double Yellow-head, which had en-
joyed good health in the Capital for
eight years. The third had been
In captivity more than year, and
had always been healthy before.
Old Bill, venerable cockatoo that
enjoys the distinction of being the
Zoos oldest inhabitant, escaped be-
ing stricken by the fever as did the
rest of the parks collection of bird
life. Old Bill, a native of Australia,
has lived in captivity for IS years,
DR.. Mann said.
None of the Zoos most recent
Acquisitions, the birds brought by
DR.. Mann from Liberia last year,
are affected. he explained, because
they are still in their own six
months quarantine, which all new
arrivals must endure. They are
scheduled to be released from quar-
entine about February 7, he said.
Suspects Segregated.
! Meanwhile, the bird house is
closed, the parrot section and other
areas are being disinfected under
instructions from the Health De-
partment, and suspects are being
segregated" DR.. Mann said. The
disease centered, he explained, in
pne small section in the parrot
room and the birds in three cages
adjacent to each other were the
victims.
! Two others looked peaked yester-
day, DR.. Mann said, but the fever
shows no signs Of spreading further
Mr.. Miller, the Zoo attendant af-
fected. has been employed at the
park for only a few weeks His
physician said he had been treating
Mr.. Miller for a few days before
sthe death of the birds at the Zoe
pointed to possible connection
with his patients illness.

"Aunt Hit on Job

aunt HIT" has started to work. Aunt
Hit is DR.. Harriet Elliott's nickname,
according to feature story in The Phila-
delphia Record And DR.. Elliott as most
North Carolinians know, is the former pro-
fessor of the Woman's College of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, who is the only
woman member of the National Defense
Advisory Committee.
In a lecture at Philadelphia, DR.. Elliott
warned the women in her inimitable,
terse, straightforward fashion, that it will
be their own fault if they permit them
selves to be gypped," writes Jean Barrett
in The Philadelphia Record.
"A bi-monthly report will be mailed
upon request from headquarters of the con-
sumers division of the commission, and it
is prepared so simply that any housewife
can~tell at glance how much she should
pay for pound of pork chops, clump of
broccoli or sack Of flour. Then if her IA
vorite butcher or corner grocer quotes
price that does not fit the general picture,
LIlG 11OuSCW41C (oIA 4AAAAA "ANAA r. OH~A
firmness and take her trade to more pa
triotic marts."
But that is not all the evidence that
Aunt Hit has gone to work with vim on
her new job. She has given equally sound
advice to the producer as well as the con-
sumner. The New York Times reports that
in a letter to the managing director of the
National Association of Furniture Manu-
facturers she requests that industry seek its
profits through large volume rather than
increased prices.
Advised that the furniture industry in
tended to keep its prices stable, she said
she realized that it was very great
temptation" to advance prices 'just lit
tle It develops into vicious circle, and
the time to halt the movement is before it
begins"
It is beginning to appear that with Aunt
Hit on the alert, the consumer can relax
and breathe little easier.-( Winston-Sa-
lem Journal)
