tory recently.
The long war against ma
laria started as far back as the
days Of Hippocrates who not
only failed to find a cure for
the disease, but didn't even get
diagnostically close to its cause. 1t
wasn't until 1888 that the first major
victory over malaria was achieved.
In that year, the Countess del Chin
chon was. stricken in Peru with al
ternating chills and fever. A medi-
cine made of the bark of Peruvian
tree was administered to her and
she recovered miraculously. Because
of that, the tree from which the
bark came was known as the Gin
chona tree.
Some two hundred years later.
scientists purified the cinchona bark
and concentrated from it the pee
ious white alkaloid that we - wv
as quinine-which until recent years
was the only known cure for ma
laria, according to Coronet. But even
then the battle against the disease
went on Some scientists fought it
at it's source :. destroying breeding
grounds for the deadly mosquito =.
1t was in Germany in 1924 that
three brilliant chemists-Schulem
Schonhofer and Wingler = intro
duced the first substitute, plaSmo-
chin While in many phases, plas-
mochin did not prove as effective a
ac II Gid
nevertheless, prevent the parasite
from reproducing within the human
system. In 1881, two other German
scientists came up with brilliant
yellow powder now known to all
GI's in the tropics . . atabrine. BY
the time the Japs cut off the Amer
ican supply of quinine in 194l, alta
brine had come into it's own and
was being produced in the UnitedV
States, says Coronet.
The prospects of even more ma
laria victims as a result of the war
in tropic climates spurred even fur
ther research for an anti-malarial
drug. Robert Woodward and Will
liam Doering, two young soldiers Of
science whose combined ages barely
totaled 81 years, went into the Har-
ward laboratories to work it out.
Why not a synthetic quinine, they
reasoned. The fact that Pasteur had
asked the same question and failed
to find an answer didn't daunt
them. They went to work and pro-
duced synthetic quinine from,
of all things, coal!
From that common black sub
stance, says Coronet, they recreated
the complicated structure of one of
civilizations most valuable drugs
and utterly mastered its formula. In
so doing, the article concludes, they
gave the United States a powerful
weapon to counter Japan's ally, ma
laria and have Spearheaded the
forces for the final breakthrough to
total victory over one Of. the greatest
plaques of all mankind - ~

Medal, and the Distinguished
Unit Badge, as we'll as being rec
commended for the Legion of Merit
medal for his latest exploit after
his plane was shot down over Yu-
goslavia, in July 1914, when return
ing from a bombing mission.
Parachute To Safety
When his plane was struck with
flack and seriously damaged, he
ordered his crew to bail out and
after their exit, he hurled himself
clear of the wrecked machine His
parachute failed to open when he
jerked the rip cord and he was
forced to utilize his emergency par
achute to check his descent through
the air.
So sudden was his stop when the
emergency chute filled with air
that One of his shoes was thrown
off his feet, and when he landed
in the mountainous regions of Yu-
goslavia, he had to make his way
through the tangled underbrush
Shoeless. Two of the members of
his crew were injured during the
descent and needed medical care
after they were found.
! Seeks Partisan Aid
Aided by YugoSlav PartisanS,
Capt. Brooks and his party at length
made their way to Partisan leader
Tito's headquarters, arriving with
approximately 200 Allied airmen
who also had made safe landings
in the mountainous regions of the
country.
Tito was prevailed upon to allow
him to use his short wave radio
to contact his squadron, with which
arrangements were made to effect
air transport for the whole Allied
party of flierS. The adventure lasted
about three weeks, the party being
flown safely back to the Italian
base in August.

The bouncing stick is capable of
bouncing because it is equipped with
a rubber tip which is found on one
end and special cord for carrying
purposes on its other end.
Because the bouncing stick is
symbolic OF the high ideals of man,
it is kept Immediately clean by its
owner; for cleanliness is required
for everything that stands for high
ideals
The Curse OF the Bouncing Stick
Because it is characteristic of
people to mock or mutilate such

the Fourth 5th, their second straight.
Who will top them in the final 5th?
This team boasts no Ellingers, Por-
tiers, Fiery's or Foltz's, and were
assigned only men at the beginning
of the season. However, they're a
faithful bunch. Monday Nights, find
ing to men awaiting the starting
signal. The Wheels and Rims have
exceptionally good attendance, and
this of course is true of the Axles.
And there you have the winners of
the four Fifths.
Capt. Lindsay of the Cogs would
sure like to see Dick Lawson, Ben
Willis, Os Raup and Peg Gruber turn
out for the bowling every Monday
night in the last Fifth. Capt. Hall
the Hubs will be looking for Lloyd
Stouffer and John Pangborn. Since
Woody Harner has been added to
this team it would mean or 8 men
per night. Capt. O'Brien's Spokes
attendance has improved and so has
their team standing. They could win
if Fred Reynolds and Riley Daniels
turn out. The Wheels in winning only
game from the Axles, missed Frank

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

Looking over the 1945 Interstate
League Baseball Schedule published
elsewhere on this page, l find quite
few changes from last year.
AS released by president Arthur
Ehlers, the schedule provides only
one double header on Memorial Day
MAY 3O), that one being between
Lancaster and York.
1t is also noted that lin order to
cut down traveD the holiday double
headers are being played in one town
this year, instead of playing one
game in each home town. An ex-
ception to his rule, however, seemed
to have been made for the Memorial
Day double header between Lancas-
ter and York, as one game is sched-
uled in York, the other in Lancaster.
This was probably decided on be-
cause the two cities are so close to-
gether.
Hagerstown draws the Fourth of
July double header, with the Labor
Day games being played at Trenton.
This year the Owls play 70 games
at home and 70 on the road Qast year
they only played SO games at home)
They also play ten Sunday double
headers at home (see schedule for
dates).
The all-Star game is scheduled
for August 9Th, at Trenton.
WJEJs Five Old Men" finally
won three games, so Grover Crilley
has to come across with miniature
basket balls for the boys and also
treat them to a feed, to which l am
invited This no doubt explains why
l have been pulling so hard for them.
They won their second game from
the State Guard (they had already
taken the measure of South Potomac
Junior High School for their first
VIM, and last Friday they annexed
win number three, by again beating
South Potomac. But they only won
that third game by the swish of their
venerable boards. The score was
tied at the end of the regulation
game, so an extra period was neces-
sary. In that period the school team
jumped out in front by one point,
by virtue of a free shot, but the
radio five came right back with a
two-pointer and somehow or other
managed to hang on to their one
point margin till the whistle blew,
ending the game, with the final
score 20-19.
