I HAVE recently heard some
l. interesting and undoubtedly
authentic history about the
origin and development OF the
sulfonamide drugs which have
become SO popular in the treat
ment of general infections dur
ing the last eight years.
For many years men tried to
find the chemical which could
be put in the body and which
would kill germs without injur-
ing the tissues.
The first of these ever to be
perfected was quinine.
Then came the famous magic
bullet" of Enrich.
But these all were used in
parasitical diseases.
The injecting germ was an
animal and nothing valuable
was discovered for cases where
the germ is, as is mostly the
case, a vegetable until 1882.
THEN a German, Domagk at
Il the /. C. Farbenindustrie,
announced a drug called prom
toSil which would kill strepto-
coccic septicemia in mice.
Domagk received the Nobel
Prize in medicine in 1888, but
it is evident that the Germans
were trying some shenanigan
because they apparently in
tended to keep the chemical
structure of prontosil secret,
and il was the French who not
only worked out what the chem
ical formula was, but also
improved on it so that it was a
crystalline product known as
sulfanilamide.
There is no doubt that the
drug performs practical miracles.
Beginning with streptococcic in
fections. it has been used in
pneumonia and great many
bacterial diseases, and while it
has some disagreeable toxic
effects, it still does nearly every
thing that has been claimed
for it.
Since its introduction sulfanila-
mide has been modified, trying
10 get compounds that are less
toxic 10 the human being and
more lethal to q germ, so that
now we have sulfapyradine,
sulfathiazole, sulfadiazine and
su'faguanidine.
Each time one of these drugs
is announced, it is tried out
with the enthusiasm which be-
longs TO the medical profession
and is acclaimed as the best.
WE HAVE come to understand
w the toxic nature of these
drugs a little better and it

Su|fonamide Drugs Advised
Only in Serious Diseases
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

would be wise to allow for them.
l have a notion that a great
many doctors are afraid to ad-
wise a patient not to take one
of them because there is so
much popular prejudice in favor
of them and he is afraid he will
lose out.
But this is unfair to your
patient because with a mild
disease that is going to last
only three or four days, the use
of a drug which can possibly
cause rather severe poisoning
is injudicious, whereas if the
patient has a serious, possibly
fatal disease, it is justifiable to
use any drug that has any hope
of checking the disease.
Another feature of the use of
the sulfonamide drugs that has
come TO grief is their application
on a local wound surface.
1t has been found in such
things as burns, for instance,
that the actual action of the
sulfonamide drug is to stop the
growth factor both of germs and
cells, and while it may kill off
all the germs on wound, 1t
also stops the rapidity of wound
healing.
This was recently demon
strated once more in the severe
burns that occurred among en-
listed men and officers at Pearl
HarhOr.

Indiana chose for her State flower
the blossom of the handsome tulip
tree. It is one Of d7e largest and
most valuable trees Of our Eastern
States. The largest tulip trees are
found growing In the deep rich
soil of the lower Ohio Valley and
also in the rich. sheltered coves and
valleys of the Southern Appalachian
Mountains. Some have reached
height OF over $50 feet with a d.
ameter of as much as 10 feet. In
the forests the tulips reach as
high as 80 TO 100 feet before there
Is A first branch--this shows what
a crowded condition exists In some
of the forests where stately tulips
grow. Seldom will you find these
trees in pure stands; they love the
society of other tree neighbors-
The tulip tree belongs 10 the
magnolia family, which. as you may
know, is a far cry from any OF the
poplsrs and cottonwoods, but be-
cause of its soft wood it has been
wrongly called the yellow poplar
You can easily identify this tree by
it's clean-cut, glossy, fiddle-shsped
leaves.
The large greenish yellow and
orange tuliplike flowers are the de-
light of vast armies OF flying in
sects. for there is an abundance OF
nectar to be had as well as pollen
After the visitation the flower de-
velops into dry conelike fruits about
3 inches long. These remain on the
tree even after the leaves have been
scattered by the winds of autumn

OF retaining their jobs, they are
very apt to wish to remain close to
their work. Or. when automobiles
come back in use, move even far
ther out in the suburbs or rural
areas, where rents are cheaper.
Various private organizations. uni

ayers and Government agencies are
giving intensive thought to the prob
lem of housing and business in and
around cities in the postwar period.
Politics, Noise and Dirt.
The Urban Land Institute Is con-
Quoting investigations to make cities
more attractive for dwellings and
business.
The institute, after a preliminary
survey on the cause of decentraliza-
ton by expert appraisers and bro
kers in 221 cities, listed the follow
ing as highly important factors in
the trend:
High city taxes, land values and
rentals, difficulty of quick rail trans
portation for industries, inability of
industries to expand in crowded ur-
ban sections.
These factors also were listed:
Congested critical business areas:
too many high buildings, which tend
toward too intensive use of land and
have depressing effect on nearby
smaller buildings; rigidity of local
tax systems, which. due to pressure
for municipal revenue, do not ad-
just themselves to changing condi-
tons; street hazards; schools, ''un-
satisfactory because of politics;
smoke, dirt and noise.

far this year was so per cent greater
than in the same period year ago.
But total labor migration can be
considered greater even than that
shown by moving vans. for much
of it is done by automobile, many
families selling their furniture or
putting ii in storage.
This helter-skelter scramble for
jobs, however, may soon be chan
neled, for Paul v. McNutt, chair
man Of the War Man Power Com
mission, already has said that the
machinery for making certain all
available man power as utilized
for war production would include
labor priorities system.
At the same time, emphasizing the
man power need for war production,
Mr.. McNutt pointed out that 49,
0000 workers would be placed in
jobs in the next year.
In many cases, the workers are
going to jobs In industries which,
following the trend. have been built
Ou Jtic OubchL u ol Ct0Aco Of even
miles from cities.
The gigantic Ford bomber plant
at Willow Run, 80 miles from De-
troit. is good example of great
industry which, needing enormous
room and facilities that cannot be
found in the city, locates in an
open area.
New York illustrates decentraliza-
ton as continuing process. With
few war industries of its own, the
city, nevertheless, is surrounded for
miles in all directions by plants in
the suburbs or nearby smaller cities.
AS result of this, observers have
noted:
War industries, scattered around
the fringes of cities, many of them
new and highly modern plants, can
convert to peacetime production
once the war is over and have plen-
ty of room for expansion.
Workers employed in those plants
are going to live as near them as
possible, particularly now that the
use of automobiles must continue
to diminish as the war continues.

But the tulip tree makes such

planting. and 1t seems to prosper
in the city where other trees are

Cement walls. particularly IN base

when applied TO a porous masonry
surface win eli up the pores and
dry 10 hard, smooth surface.
Care must be taken in mixing the
paint. Only enough water should
be used 10 turn the dry powder into
q paste. and this paste must be
thoroughly mixed TO overcome ihe
waterprooflng materials that are in
rorporsted in t. Too much water

After the paste is mixed enough
water should be added to make IL
thin enough TO brush. II the sur

the paint should be thinner than for

average amount OF water TO use is
about 4 pints TO each pounds of
the powder.
Before applying the paint the wall
must be well brushed down TO re-
move any loose particles and dust,
Then the wall Is wetted and the
surface kept moist while the paint
is being applied When the surface
ceases 10 glisten II is time to apply
the paint T'fie paint should be
flowed on and not brushed out in
the ordinary way. The mixture can
be sprayed, but the results are not
40 satisfactory as in painting and
manufacturers do not recommend it.
While one coat is sufficient to
cover the surface, two coats make
q better job. The second coat should
not be applied until about two days
after the first. The material should
pe mixed only as required. It must
not stand unused overnight. In
fact. not more than a half days
supply should be prepared at one
time. This material should not be
applied on non-porouS surface.
