Everyday Science

DISCOVERY OF a new method
~ of controlling typhus and
similar diseaSes--that constitute
a grave menace during warts
revealed in a report from the
army medical school in Wash
ington. d. c.
Prof. Harry Plotz, with his
co-workers, has developed new
test which makes it possible TO
distinguish between two kinds
of typhus causing viruses-en-
demic and epidemic. BY endemic
is meant disease which occurs in
individuals in a locality without
spreading like an epidemic.
What is true of typhus is also
true of other closely related
maladies, such as % fever.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
and what is known as Brills
disease.
TYPHUS has already become a
l. most serious problem in Rus
STA, other parts of eastern and
southeastern Europe. in Spain,
in South America. II is now a
direct concern of America. since
this country's forces are engaged
in global war.
Professor Plotz. in a commu-
niCation 10 the official organ of
the American Association for
the Advancement of Science.
says that using the new test
which consists in mixing some
disease virus with human blood
Serum--the following important
facts have been learned.

kinds: one is endemic. that is.
IT does not spread: the other is

symptoms such as excessive
thirst, etc.

sugar and for sugar in the

Answer-This Is a very I'm
portant question 10 answer: the

ion, indicates diabetes,
There is never sugar in the
urine normally. The normal
blood sugar is usually put down
at the figure of 100 - which
means 100 miligrams of glu-
cose per 100 c. c. OF blood.
The fact that you have not
had any Of the symptoms of
diabetes is not at all unusual.

1t Is true that there may be
other causes of sugar in the
urine, but il would not be wise
Tor YOU 10 count on this when
there is the possibility that you
have the more serious condition
Of diabetes.

Food
Vital

THE heart trouble does not
l. show up Immediately on the
subsistence Of an attack Of in
fammatory rheumatism.
1t may not appear until the
afflicted individual is 80 or 40
years old
When the damage shows up
at this time Of life, there is no
treatment which will be ef-
fective in really making a res
toration of the heart to normal
conditions.
The best that can be done Is
TO carry the individual along
with heart stiInulants and patch
him UP from time TO time and
perhaps prolong his life from
10 10 Is years.
This period, which Is not
spent in comfort, would seem TO
be an undue penalty 10 assess
against a period Of six weeks 10
two months in bed after the
acute attack.

Tangled ADA Fight Over Project in Restricted
Foirwoy Area to Be Decided in Court Next Month

FairWay Co.'S claim that the sale
price should be increased. as well
as to hear the claims of other res
idents
Lots Scattered Throughout Area.
The lots which the ADA has taken
are scattered over a wide area. A
look at the map Of the development
will show how the ADA, in the con-
demnation suit. skipped over vacant
lots which were sandWiched in be-
tween Mr.. Lees company's property.
None of the owners of these lots
was approached on the question Of
sales, Mr.. Hodgkins and Mr.. Ihlder
said, pointing out that it would have
taken too much time to dicker with
each owner.
But the Government could have
condemned the land in solid blocks,
just as it finally condemned Mr.
Lees lands, it was admitted And
the price for these lots-if set by a
condemnation jury would have
been the same as for Mr.. Lees
land.
Since the property is scattered
about, it has been necessary to lay
in water and sewer pipes, as we'll
as roads. These utilities already
were available on some of the lots
which the ADA didn't take.
1t was admitted by the ADA au-
thorities that it would have been
more efficient to have built the
houses in solid blocks instead of
scattering them about.
Additional Bus Service Sought.
AS for the reasons which impelled
selection Of this site for a housing
project in the first place, Mr.. Ihlder
says:
We have looked at every avail
able piece of property in this area
and have taken those which seemed
most suitable. Nobody wants these
housing projects in their neighbor-
hood, it seems. We are building
where we cam
The Fairway tract is 10 or more
miles from any Of the important
Government war agencies. The

Terminal 10 Go Into
Service Early Today
10000 Persons Expected
To Use Maine Avenue
Structure Daily

Washingtons first underground
streetcar terminal, on Fourteenth
street S.W.. near the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing, was sched-
uled to be opened to the public
early today.
An estimated 10000 persons will
use the terminal in the course Of
a normal work day. 1t is part of
the s2,500,000 overpass project at
Fourteenth street and Maine ave
nue. S.W., designed to unsnarl traf-
flc at what was one of the city's
worst intersections.
Capt. H, c. Whitehurst, director
Of the Highway Department, said
Yesterday he thought the terminal
would prove adequate" but added
he thought it would take some
time Ito smooth operations out"
The terminal will provide direct
entrance to the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, the highway director
said, thus saving these employees
from crossing Fourteenth street.
AS explained by Capt. Whitehurst,
there will be facilities underneath
for eight cars to load or unload
space for four cars on dead end
tracks, and additional space for six
cars on the ramps StairWays have
been provided leading up to Four

concerning the possibility OF get

tract price for Mr.. Lees company S
property. The construction already
is already under way.
Average Price S4,673.
The average price per unit for the
houses thus will be $4,673, including
the lot. The houses are two and
three room. frame construction. Mr.
Ihlder said it would be difficult to
break down the cost figures so as to
show the construction costs. He
added that it is the Government S
intention to tear down the houses
after the war. He has made this
statement in writing several times
but has refused to sign an agreement
to that effect.
He explains that while this is the
intention, he could not bind any
later administration to such ar
agreement.
Land to Be Sold Later.
Mr.. Ihlder says it is his hope that
when the houses are torn down
the covenants will be reinstated. He
says that the Government will sell
the land to private parties. Again
he can make no guarantee that the
covenants will be established.
And the property owners-al-
though they hope the agreements
will be held to in later years-feei
that once the restrictions are re-
Taxed, they will stay relaxed
What started out to be a com
munity of well-built homes, the
property owners fear. will become
something entirely different.

on the whole arrangement, said:
