The prisoners were less cocky then, plodding along with heads bowed. One naval prisoner was troublesome, protesting about carrying his own luggage, but he was moved along carrying his bags.

success which has resulted.
In America, as | have reported
for several years, there is little or

TO extreme changes in our climate,
or il may be due 10 the fact that
the protective vaccines against the
colds are not given early enough
in the season.
Time for Starting
A report from England indi-
Gates that perhaps the last has
more to do with it than we in
America have believed, ard that
il vaccination against colds and
flu were started about this time of
year, the results might be better.
| was surprised to see an article
the other day by well known bac-
teriologist in which he said that he
considers the use Of cold vaccines
as having been sufficiently protec-
tive TO continue their use. How
ever, he was careful TO specify that
he did not intend to indicate that
we could prevent the primary in
lection, but simply to modify the
secondary infection that comes af-
ter the cold is established.
So far as flu is concerned, the
use of a new form of protective
vaccine has given fair results in
varioS industries in England. For
instance, among the workers in
oculated 35 per cent lost time as
compared to 81 per cent in the
group who had had no protection.
In the case Of the common cold
in England it was found in one fac
tory that from January to March
the workers who had been pro-
tected in the late summer by flu
and cold vaccines showed a reduc-
ton Of 81 per cent in the number
of days lost.
1t remains to be seen whether
these results can be duplicated in
America, but one thing is certain,
if the protective immunity is to be
established, it must be done by vac
cination in the summer months.
The cause Of the common cold
has not been certainly identified,
but it is probably a virus. Yhe
thing that happers during a cold
is, first, infection by the virus,
which causes an illness that lasts
"a to 48 hours. This virus infec-
ton makes the mucous membrane
of the nose particularly susceptible
to secondary infection with the
pus-forming bacteria, staphylococ-
CT and others.
Against this secondary infection
it is possible to prepare a vaccine
because the meteorological labora-
tory can easily identify the secon-
dry invaders. But since nj one
has isolated the primary virks, it
is impossible to prepare a vaccine
against il. So the "cold vaccine"
cannot be guaranteed to prevent
the catching Of colds. but it is rea-
sonable to say that it reduces the
number Of days Of sickness.
