Ford Plans 10 Increase
Use Of low-Grade Ore

BY the Associated Press.
DEROIT. Jan. 20.-Henry Ford dis
closed yesterday that he is planning
an intensified effort to recover iron
from normally unwanted ow-grade
ore. utilizing an electrolytical
method developed by Ford engineers.
The program. Ford said. would be
OF particular benefit to small COM
munities near iron mines abandoned
because Of the low-gade quality Of
the ore.
The method, adopted by Ford after
II years of experimentation with
huge deposits of ore, is described
as a system OF electroplating, requir-
ing cheap electric power for work
on an industrial basis. The smelt-
ing method was ruled out as too eX-
penSive.
Ford said the theory. while not
new in itself. is new in its adapta-
ton. Unlike ordinary iron recov-
cred by smelling. he said. the iron
obtained under the new process is
more ductile and has magnetic prop

formance. 1t also has characteristics

AS general thing, the grade
schools have far outstripped the high

This may be due in part to feeling
among the older students that they
might appear foolish in carrying
papers to school. Quite the con-
trary is the case. There is nothing
which would be more indicative of

thousands of students every day

Five Typhus Carrier
Rats Trapped Here in
Union Station Area
Health Officers Soy
There Is No Cuuse
For Alarm in Copitul

Health Department tests on rats
trapped in the Union Station area
have shown five as carriers of en-
demic or new world typhus.
Ambrose p. Bell. public health en-
eineer In charge Of the departments
rodent control program, last night
told the Lincoln Park Citizens As
sociation of the tests and added
that control of the rodents was nee
esSary to control of the disease.
At the Health Department today,
DR.. Carl Dauer emphasized that
although the problem was being
given close attention to prevent the
rodents from increasing the number
Of carriers among themselves, there
was no cause for alarm.
Endemic typhus. he explained, is
carried by the fleas on rats but is
less serious than the so-called cpl
demic or old world typhus-a louise
bourne typhus prevalent in Europe.
Three Cases Here.
Health Department records, he
said. indicated there have been IN
the past year three cases OF typhus
in the metropolitan area. In one
case woman victim was listed as a
District case but it was thought she
contracted the disease in Florida.
The other two were residents OF
MARYLAND and Virginia but were
definitely believed to have con-
tracted the disease in the Union
Station area where they were en-
ployed. Another case was unoff1cially
reported today but the department
has not yet been officially advised
Of it. it was stated.
Until today, the most recent case
was last fall. The new victim, Mrs.
Uric P. Bell, wife of former Wash
Ington correspondent OF the Louis
vile Courier-Journal. was described
as having passed the crisis and on
the way to recovery. She Is believed
to have contracted it outside the
city
The rat-control program was in
stituted several months ago as
joint project between the Health
Department and the civic groups,
Mr.. Bell being named to coordinate
the work. In the Union Station area
alone in October several thousand
rats were trapped.
Symptoms Are Identical.
The symptoms of endemic and
epidemic typhus are identical-ex-
tremely high fever, severe headache
and tendency to collapse. The
death rate of endemic typhus, how
ever is quite low-approximately 2
per cent, compared with 20 per cent
or more for epidemic typhus.
Were it not for the season the
disease might easily be mistaken for
Rocky Mountain spotted fever. a few
cases of which break out in this vi
cinity every summer. This disease,
however. is spread by the dog tick,
which is not abroad in winter.
