 Because of the risks that come with using live germs dead ones have often been used with success Usually the germs killed by heat and chemical change occurs sometimes affecting the immuniz- ing properties of the germs more often it does scientists claim.
 Experiments have been made in late years of sufocatng tubercle bacilli death in the hope of obtaining a vaccine which would be effective than BCG but safer.
 Dr. Truman Squire Potter of the University of Chicago has picked up clue with results that seem to be of high importance. He immunizes animals against particular type of tuberculosis tcow bird or human with vaccine of the precise corresponding type. Before, experiments usually had been con- ducted with bacilli of the COW bird type He used the human type.
 In his latest experiment he used 66 healthy rabbits. Half given the immunizng vaccine. Half were used controls. Only four of the immunized rabbits succumbed to tuberculosis after having been inocuaed with yrulent germs. Twenty yfive of the controls tracted tuberculosis and three died
 So far no tests have been made human beings, but Dr Potter believes that evidence far collected leaves little doubt that a vaccine composed of suffocated tubercle bac ought to be effective in human tuberculosis under conditions, just in animal tuberculosis.

 But Crowley mistook Fowler Har- per for Fowler Hamilton, who also works for FEA Hamilton had just been to London on a mission of economic warfare analysis, and Crowley had talked with him about the trip So this Fowler was in his mind.
 Hes a good man." said Crowley to Ickes, but he's just back from London and I'm nst sure we can spare him I'll look into it."
 However, Crowley later got the right man and told Fowler Harper that Ickes wanted him in Interior
 But the next time he saw Fow- Ter Hamilton, he slipped back into his old error T hate to lose you, he said, but I know you will do a good job for Ickes."

The Tire Situation
Cincinnati Enquirer


 In an address before the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators in St. Louis short time ago. Pyke Johnson, President of the Automotive Safey Foundation, stated in clear concise manner the why the next few months will be critical in the conservation of the United States rubber supply. The critical period, MT. Johnson declared, really is just beginning. The rubber situation not be regarded with "complacency indifference . he asserts.
 Mn Johnson told of the large stock of crude rub Der which was on hand when Pearl Harbor cut off sources of supply. He said, too, that there healthy inventory of tires in various factories whole sale and retail outlets. "The problem then, to get into production of synthetic rubber fast enough that before the tires out and the inventory of crude exhausted, could carry with synthetic"
 Tn that kind of a schedule he continued, the critical period obviously during the time when inventories begin to low and the synthetic pro- duction is not yet enough to supply minimum needs .
 We are now at that point. the speaker told his audience We must continue to hold enough in to meet unforeseen obstacles for he expressed it. "a breakdown in essential highway movement because of a tire famine is inconceivabe."
 MT. Johnson insists that the public feeling for rubber conservation must be maintained at high level and not allowed to lag a result of over-rosy program. The program he infers is success-but the time for growing will not be here until the present. and possibly prolonged period of crisis has passed

TB IMMUNIZATION?

It has been known for many centuries that some diseases attack the same person twice. Even before modern scientific day of medicine attempts were made to obtain immunity from smallpox by arm to-arm vaccination whereby healthy person would allow himself to be infected with smallpox means of protection during an epidemic.
 Then Pasteur with his experiments gave science the reason why immunity often follows infection. He inoculated a fowl with stale culture of chicken cholera. The fowl recovered When he tried to noculate the fowl with fresh, vruent material he failed and concluded rightly that because the first germs stale they weren't strong enough to kill yet were potent enough to immunize.
 Vaccines usually consist of dead germs, but also sometimes the germs feebly alive-feeby because of the risk involved if they fully alive. One way scientists have of enfeebling germs to breed them in culture tube generation after generation. It in this way that Dr. Albert Calmette of Paris ob- tained tuberculosis vaccine which is known as Bacillus Camette- Guerin, BCG Some good results have been obtained in immunizng the body against tuberculosis through BCG although through labora- tory careessness of vruent strain of BCG given to children in Lubeclz Germany, 12 years ago, and 68 died.
