pour into his blood stream an excess
of adrenalin, which redoubles his
strength and helps him 10 conquer
his natural fear Of death. no matter
what hazards are involved. To stare

the excitement in combat.
However IL is doctors and labora-

themselves to such potentially fatal

the medical martyrs.
The most recent instance was a test
OF vipicillin, a new wonder drug which
is an outgrowth of penicillin. DR..
Hans Enoch, one of two German
refugees who discovered the drug
in London, could find no one willing
to try it out Finally he inoculated
himself with a virulent culture,
then injected vivicillin. Fortu-
nately for him, it proved just as
effective as earlier experiments
had indicated.
Edward Jenner, who introduced
vaccination, wasn't sure that his
great discovery was worth while
until he had vaccinated himself
and then exposed himself to infec-

was later given the name of rick

High A|can Upkeep
Is Seen by Wilkins

1t will take plenty of costly main
tenance to keep the Alcan highway
open to tourist travel to Alaska
after the war, Sir Hubert Wilkins,
Arctic explorer, told the 10th an
niversary meeting of the American
Polar Society here last night.
Scrapers and rollers can keep the
long motor way open during the
short summer season, Sir Hubert
said, but during freezing weather
water works up from underground
and forms small glaciers which must
be passed under the highway in cul-
verts heated by drums of burning
oil
Sir Hubert is convinced an ideal"
way for the postwar tourist to make
the journey is to drive TO Alaska in
midsummer and put his car on a
coastal steamer for the return to
the United States.
About 125 members and guests of
the society, meeting at the Army
Navy Club, were given a demonstra-
ton of new Arctic equipment.

Expert Disappeared

Collectors of antique house fur

valued at $4,000 and 1881 in cash

Ordway street NV, had sworn out
a warrant charging grand larceny
against Alvin B. Hon, who took the
Barton's rug to clean and repair
at a bargain price and now cannot
be found.
After discovering that Hon had
an FBI record, police said they were
sending to score of other cities a
lookout notice for him, along with
pictures of sketch of the missing
rug made by 1t. Barton.
Hon was said to have established
a reputation for honest work done

ings for several prominent families
here, one of whom recommended
him to the Bartons.
Hon offered to clean the rug and
repair some worn spots for about
one-third of the price an established
firm would charge, Mrs. Barton said.
In view of his recommendations
she let him take it away.
She said Hon telephoned a few
days later to say he was i'll. Finally,
he called at the Barton apartment
early one day last week to say the
rug was ready except for pad he
wanted to purchase at a local de-
partment store. He might be de-
layed in getting that because he had
to cash a check to get the necessary
Sl9.51. 1t. Barton said he advanced
the cash to save time, and Hon gave
him 40 cents change from $40 bill.
