Malaria is caused by an ameba-
like parasite Of the genus "Plasmo-
dunn" The parasite, which enters
mans bloodstream through a mos
quito bite, often destroys over a
million red blood corpuscles per
cubic millimeter in one bout Of
malaria.
First the plasmodia enter the
oxygen-bearing red blood cells.
From the liquid part Of the blood
oozes sticky jelly which clumps
all the cells together. These clunps
are gobbled down by white blood
corpuscles. II the white cells are
strong enough, the body wins.
But as the battle RACES, the white
cells may be outnumbered. The
Innings Of blood vessels become
sticky, and white cells cling to them
like flies to fly paper. As the red
clumps grow larger, the liquid part
Of the blood turns thick and sludgy,
and the heart is harder and harder
put to it to pump against the block
ade. When circulation stagnates,
the body's oxygen is cut off, and
finally the heart stops.

Boston Takes Its Time

Fifty-six years ago, when Bostoni-
ans wished to erect a statue Of Sill
versmith Paul Revere, the prize
winning model was turned in by e.
year-old, Utah-born student named
Cyrus E. Dallin, who beat such ex-
perts as Daniel Chester French.
Then because of historical inaccu-
racies in the model another contest
was held. Student Dallin won a Sec
ond time. But campaign for funds
to have the statue cast was stalled
by newspaper criticism. Student
Dallin went to Paris, remained for
nearly so years-without forgetting
Paul Revere. Returning to Boston
in 1885, he approached trustees Of
a fund dedicated to public bless
ings." The trustees dallied with Mr..
Dallin for three years, finally gave
SGT 500 to cast the statue in bronze.
In 1899 78-year-old Cyrus Dallin's
Paul Revere was dedicated on Paul
Revere mall, behind Old North
Church.

PRICE CONTROL ON PORK
EFFECTIVE

Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson has placed a temporary
wholesale price ceiling over virtual
ly all pork products and warned
that price-gouging by retailers will
be followed "by prompt controls at
the source.
The new ceiling, effective on
March %, will be the highest whole
sale prices charged during the five
day period from March 81. Perman-
ent prices will be established in
sixty days.
The order will affect nearly half
Of the Nations meat supply. Ameri-
cans last year paid more than
$4,000, 100000 for pork and pork
products.
Exempted are sausages, canned
meats and manufactured meats, ex-
cept canned spiced ham and lunch
con meats.
The order is applicable to packers,
their branch houses, car routes,
brokers, wholesalers, professors and
|slaughterers. Farmers are exempt.
Retailers are not affected but
Henderson said amy justified COM
plants of price-gouging will be
followed by prompt controls at the
retail source, even though such pol
icing would require the services of

BRUSH AND FOREST FIRES

This year 1t is particularly linz
portant that brush and forest fires
be controlled. Such fires could con-
ceivably be set to serve as beacons
for raiding planes. Or, accidentally
started fires burning at night might
serve raiding enemy aircraft we'll.
1t is, therefore, recommended that
the following suggestions be consid-
cred by all fire companies.
Warn all people in your area to
use extreme care to prevent such
fires, and to make every effort to
stop promptly any that do start.
All people who desire to burn
over ground or brush piles do SO
only during daylight hours and be
sure all embers are extinguished
at night. Also, advise the nearest fire
company before starting such fires.
Fire companies themselves could
probably take the following action:
/. Survey your own district and
assist in burning over any weed or
brush patches that should be burned.
q. Offer to stand by with appa-
ratus during any burning opera
lions.
In case fire does occur, sufficient
help should be called to get the fire
under control and extinguished, if
possible, before nightfall. Auxiliary
firemen should be of service in con-
filming such fires to daylight hours.
Your past excellent cooperation in
the National Defense Program is
greatly appreciated.

Study Ways to Prolong
Life of u. S. Citizens

No one has found sure method Of
preventing or curing senility, old
age. However, biological studies Of
individual cells, hormones, vita
minis, minerals, and heredity are
opening new field for the prolonga-
ton Of life and Of youthfulness.
DR.. N. w. Popoff has reported
that certain cells Of the human body
have the power Of rejuvenating
themselves: These, for example,
are the cells Of the lining Of the
stomach, intestines and certain
glands. When they become ex-
hausted, they do not die. These
cells rest themselves, then start
working again-thoroughly rejuve-
mated. Will this study show scien-
lists how to make other body cells
rejuvenate themselves?
Dr.. Alfred Cohn Of the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research, stat
ed in a report Of his investigations
that the so-called degenerative dis
eases Of "old age" were not In
evitable. In other words, aging was
not due to sheer wearing down.

The more Arnold Gesell studies
children, the more complicated he
finds them. Probably the worlds
best-informed expert on child be-
havior, he has examined thousands,

are not only charming but startling,
is firmly convinced that 1t is silly to
try to measure them by intelligence

"The First Five Years Of Life" he
describes ~ how a normal child

Invents Airplane Radio

A University of Washington gradu-
ate, Motion Taylor, has invented an
airplane radio, which he claims ID
cheaper, smaller and perhaps even
more efficient than those now in use.
His innovation is especially de-
signed for the light airplanes now
used in student training programs.
One set is so small that it can be
carried from plane to plane. He has
organized a company to manufac-
ture these radios, and he claims
that the company already has more
orders than it can fill. He hopes
to obtain a government contract
soon. And among his employees is
one who made the headlines Of most
every newspaper in the country a
few years back. He is Douglas
Corrigan, who gained considerable
fame with his Wrong Way" Corri-
gan fight.

The Same Thing

For the past decade biochemists
in the U. S. and Europe have ex-
tracted from yeast powerful, Vita
minlike substances, one Of which
seemed to be a member Of the vita
min B family. Others were called
biotin, vitanin II, Coenzyme r..
Several months ago scientists at
Cornell and Western Reserve an
nounced that all these substances
were one and the same. Biotin
seemed to be the most favored
name.
j. o. Lampen and associates of
the University of Wisconsin said
that in minute traces, biotin seems
to occur almost everywhere in ami
NAL and vegetable tissue. Without
it, yeast cells and nitrogen-fxing
bacteria cannot live. In animals it
seems to be necessary for normal
engine function and skin and hair
health. One gram of biotin dis
solved in $4,000, 900 gallons of water
is enough to keep yeast cells alive.
The biochemists conceded that bio
tin is the most powerful physiolog-
ical substance known.

The first "made in America" bell,
the historic old Liberty Bell, which
announced the birth Of freedom, is
pictured on the U. S. two-cent Ses-
quicentennial commemorative is
sued in 1925.
The bell has had a remarkable
history. It was ordered from an
English foundry in 1751 for the
Pennsylvania state house. The bell
cracked before it could be installed.
When return to England was de-
layed, two Americans, Pass and
Stow, offered to recast it. The tone of
their first bell was not satisfactory,
but second casting produced the
Liberty Bell, with its famous in
scription: proclaim Liberty
throughout all the land, to all the
inhabitants thereof"
The bell announced the first pub
lie reading Of the Declaration Of In
dependence in 1776.

NEW MINIATURE AUTO PLATES

Maryland's new miniature auto
mobile license plates made their
first appearance on the highways OF
the State. The new tags, only one
and Eve eighth inches by three and
one fourth inches, are just large
enough to cover the expiration date
ON the plates issued last year.
Orange and black in color, they are
in sufficient contrast with last years
tags to make them visible at con-
siderable distance.
The new tags are marked with the
expiration date of March 81, 1913.
In addition, they carry d small SER
ial number, which is stamped on
the new registration card. officials
at the Commissioner Of Motor We
hicles' Office advised motorists that
1t Is unnecessary to remove the
present plate to get the miniature
tag in place. The edge of the small
tag is slotted and, after one screw is
loosened. it is possible to slip the
new tag in place.
March 81 Dead Line
The commissioners Office advised
motorists to carry their registration
card for 1941, as we'll as the new
one, to speed up identification in
case of question. The new miniature
tag must be on all cars by March 81.
The small-size plate was adopted by
the commissioner when it became
known that sufficient steel for the
standard size plate would not be
forthcoming due to priorities.
The number of 1942-43 motor We
hicle license plates issued up to
March Is this year was 20,325 less
than for the same period of 1941,
Commissioner w. Lee Elgin said.
Tags distributed through the
mails and at the windows in the
motor vehicles building so far this
year total 1926, compared to
1851 for the like period year
ago.
If this ratio prevails, it was point
ed out, Approximately $4,000 to
35, 900 motorists will fail to secure
license plates before the expiration
date on March 81.
OF the estimated $4,000 sets of
tags issued for 1941-42 use, 362,-
603 were distributed by, and in
Guiding, March 81. Automobile
owners will have to purchase 244,-
317 sets of plates between now and
the end of the month to match last
years figures.
Many persons, the commissioners
Office said, are holding back because
of the many restrictions in effect
due to the wartime emergency.
Their inability to secure tires and
the possibility of drastic curtail-
ment on gasoline consumption Is
making them wary about operating
their cars, he continued.
Payment of income and personal
property taxes this month also may
be cause of their hardness.
