During the war many new in
stitutions for technico-Scientiflc
research have been established in
Sweden. The latest addition is an
institution for Investigations into
stone material called the Swedish
Stone Industry Research Institute.
The new institute, which will
closely collaborate with the Gov
eminent Material Testing Insti-
tute in Stockholm, is the first of
it's kind in Sweden to specialize in
research into various species of
stone and their qualities as build
ing material. Swedish stone has
has gained good name for its
beauty and fine quality. Through
a scientific and methodical re-
search it is hoped to be able to find
new uses for this material, of
which Sweden has practically in
exhaustible supplies. The work
of the institute will not only be of
Importance to the Swedish build
ing industry but also to the many
foreign importers of Swedish
stone.
The new institute is owned by
the Swedish quarrying industries
and the costs will chiefly be de-
frayed by them, while the govern
ment will place funds at disposal
for certain kinds of research work
The Stone Industry Research
Institute is situated in the neigh
borhood of the University of Tech
nology in Stockholm, where a
veritable "City of Science" has
grown up during the war years.
Among these new institutions are

Whooping Cough
Warning Given
By D.. Palmquist

Almost half of all deaths from
whooping cough occur in children
SEVEN months old and younger, DR..
Palmquist, Seattle City Health
Commissioner, declared today. He
urged mothers to have their chill
dren vaccinated early enough to
give them protection through this
most dangerous period.
Favorable reports have been re-
ceived on the practice of vaccin-
ating as early as three months,
particularly when reinforced by an
other vaccination within a year.
DR.. Palmquist said. The former
practive of vaccinating after six
months of age gives reliable pro-
lection, he said, but does not shield
the baby during the most danger
Gus period, since immunity takes
about a month to develop.
Whooping cough is spread by
contact with infected persons, or
with articles freshly soled by
them. 1t usually begins with a
slight fever and symptoms of a
catarrhal condition of the nose and
throat. and as the disease pro-
crosses the cough develops a char
acteristic whoop.
During the month of December.
said the Commissioner, 33 new
cases were reported in Seattle.
making an approximate total of
GAG cases for the year 1945.
Vaccination against whooping
cough has been shown to be of
definite value in its prevention.
according to DR.. Palmquist. who
advises all parents whose chill
dren have not had the disease 10
consult their doctors about i'm.

The situation today is this:
l. Engineers of the Civil Aeronau-

agreed on certain changes which
should be made In the interest Of
safety.
2. The airlines have estimated tina.
these changes can be made in seven

3. The changes include Suostitu-
ton of copper for aluminium at Ger

relocation of some hydraulic lines:

substitution of fuel injection for
