Ahict Young Adults

Both conditions are particularly
likely to occur in young adults
from l8 to 35. For that reason
the health directors Of colleges, of
defense workers, of civilian bureau
workers in Washington and else
where, and the medical CORPS of
the armed forces are particularly
alert to them. In making a dag
noSIs and in ;he handling OF the
case, the cooperation Of the patient
is needed, and therefore there is a
need for the education Of the pub
lie on the subject.
As pointed out by Drs. Quigley
and Contratto, who direct the
health Of Harvard's students. il a
diagnosis Of appendicitis demand
ing operation is made on a stu
dent with gastro-enteritis, a great
deal Of valuable time, to say the
least, Is lost. But even more seri-
Gus and hazardous is for the STU
dent or bureau worker to have APP
pendicitis and say "Oh, it's Just
an old-fashioned bellyache."
According to the experience Of
the Harvard medical directors, the
dltferential diagnosis is made on
number Of points which their er
perience has tabulated.
Different Symptoms
There is a sudden, or erplosipe
onset in nearly all 90 per cent?
cases Of gastro-enteritis; but in
less than half al per cent? Of the
cases Of appendicitis. Diarrhoea is
present in II per cent of CASTRO
enteritis cases, very rare q per
cent? in appendicitis.
Vomiting occurs in II per cent
in gastro-enteritis, 80 per cent in
appendicitis. The pain in the abb
domen is colicky in gastro-enteri-
It's ga per cent?, steady in appen-
dicitis in SO per cent of cases.
Tenderness on pressure over the
abdomen occurs less than half the
time GA per cent? in gastro-en-
terltis; 100 per cent in appendi-
citis. There is never spasm of the
muscles in gastro-enteritis, but in
% per cent Of appendicitis.
II there is pain in the abdomen
on coughing, the indication is ap-
pendicitis, occurring in 81 per cent
Of cases. 1t never occurs in CASTRO
enteritis.
When the doctor counts the
blood and finds the white cells be-
low 900, it practically rules ap-
pendicitis out; though in half the
cases of gastro-enteritis the white
cell count is below 10000.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
T. '. VI. What is meant by .
disease being chronic? Can chron.
&c diseases be cured?
Answer: A chronic disease is
one that lasts a long time and
shows no natural tendency to heal,
or little tendency that way. Some
chronic diseases can be cured (by
SURGERY ; some can be controlled,
as is the case with chronic anemia
controlled by liver.

WOODEN cASoLIlfE7 Wood as a
substitute for gasoline would be
more accurate. It's process the
scientists of Europe have been
working on for some years. In
Sweden and most other European
countries where gasoline is hard
to get, it actually is used. Over
there all you have to have is a
"gasogene" unit in your car. Then
you drive up to the filling station,
and instead of saying, Five gal
Ions of gas" you say. "A bushel
of charcoal."
WOOD 10 EAT7 Wood has a lot of
sugar in it, and sugar is energy
food. The chemists know how to
get it out now, and if we ever need
to fall back on it for eating pur-
poses, we can. If the alcohol situa-
ton requires it, large quantities of
industrial or ethyl alcohol can be
made from wood.
WOODEN CLoTHEI7 The cellulose
in wood can be used in making
rayon and other synthetic fabrics.
And recently a lumber company
has found that the bark of the
redwood tree, when shredded and
refined, combines with wool to
produce a fabric with the proper
ties of pure wool. Already, clothes
have been made with this red
wood wool, and suits, dresses.

from wood; and ood-flled bombs
can be deadly enough if the

in dynamite.

months to dry the wood after
it was cut. In the drying kilns
at the laboratory, I saw timbers
that were being dried in a matter
of days. The scientists had found
a chemical with which to pre-
treat them - vital short cut.
On a laboratory bench were
some pieces of plywood. Behind
them pots of glue. Day after day
for years, the work has gone on:
trying out and checking new types
of industrial glue and gluing tech
niQues. That is why we can build
boats nowadays out of plywood,
though it used to come apart in
water. General Macarthur ran
the gantlet from the Philip
pines in a plywood mosquito
boat - the same kind with
which Lieutenant Bulkeley
sank a big Jap warship.
Yes, wood is already playing its
part in the war. l saw and handled
blocks of wood which we're nearly
as hard and smooth as glass and
approaching steel in strength.
Compregnated wood, it is called.
1t starts out as a series of thin
wood layers bound together; then
it is impregnated with a chemical
and compressed to a half or third
its original size. If a particular
shape is desired, it can be nodded
in the process. And despite its
toughness, it can still be cut with
a saw. The process has not yet
reached commercial development,
but the scientists believe it has
immediate promise for use in air
plane construction.
And the plastic gadgets that
grace the instrument panels of the
fighting planes - those, too. will
very likely be real wood. l saw
plastics here, shiny and hard, that
bore no resemblance whatever to
wood. But they were made pri-
marily of sawdust!
WOODEN TIRES7 asked the men
at the Laboratory if they were ex-
perimenting in this field. Yes, they
said, but not very enthusiastically.
Why? Because synthetic rubber
tires probably will be better. But
when we get synthetic rubber tires,
they may contain a wood product
-lignin. Industry is already ex-
perimenting with lignin as an ex-
tender for synthetic rubber. par
ticularly for use as gaskets. Lig-
min is the constituent of wood that
binds the fbers together. 1t is re-
moved when you make paper out
of wood, and has been a waste
product for years. But the chem
lists at the laboratory have kept
plugging away at the fathoming
of its mysteries, finding uses for
it. 1t makes a good road-surface

that silver was used for money long
before pennies were made in Eng
land. Silver coins seem to have
been first minted in Asia Minor,
either in Greek colony or in the
ancient country known as Lydia.
The Greek colonial city of Mile
tus minted coins at very early date
about 1900 years ago. Yet Greek
writers speak of Lydia as the place
where the first silver money came
from. 1t is likely that the Lydians
taught the Greeks how to make
coins. or at least supplied the metal
Many ancient coins we're made of
a mixture of silver and gold known
as "electrum"
In the Bible we read about silver
money. In one place it is recorded
that Abraham counted out 400
shekels of silver" The Jews seemed
to have learned about money from
their neighbors and from the Ro-
mans We have no record of coins
minted in Jerusalem or any other
Jewish city until about 2,100 years
ago.
Silver has been popular for coins
ever since it first came into use for
the purpose. Mexico leads the mod
ern world in silver output, with the
United States second and Canada
third.
