Study Of Germ Warfare Lists
SO Diseases for Possible Use

We are impressed by the State-
ment Of George Merck Tin 1946
report that the only real defense
against bacterial warfare Is peace, !"
said DR.. Visscher. who is In Chicago
for the convention OF the Fedora
tion OF American Societies for Ex-
perimental Biology.
And the American public cannot
be impressed too strongly with the
necessity Of making arrangements
that will preserve peace now, because
10 years from now it will be too late"
The report, published today in
the Journal of Immunology, was
written In 1912, compiled from bac-
teriologncal war studies which
scientists had been quietly making
in eight nations--not including Ger
many.
1t is the dictionary of biological
warfare. The authors are DR.. Theo-
dor Rosebury and DR.. Elvin Kabat,
bacteriologists OF the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia
University, and DR.. Martin N. Boldt.
They made the study for the Amer
ican Association of Scientific Work.
ers, gave it to the Government. and
it was kept secret until today.
After writing the report all three
went to work on biological warfare
at Camp Detrick, Md. But today's
report contains nothing about the
war work.
The fact is that the war progress
was small compared with the great
field OF meteorological war knowl-
edge gathered in the 10000 words.
The war work made some impor-
tant specific advances and con-
vinced bacteriologists that this kind
OF war is feasible.
Many Diseases Listed.
The diseases listed as having war
possibilities include rabbit fever,
not the common form but q pneu-
monia type that Is transmitted by
air; the pneumonia, or lung form,
of the great plague, black death,
and a rare disease known as NELL
oidosis, that resembles glanders of
horses and men and is highly fatal
Also anthrax, yellow fever to be
transmitted not by mosquitoes but
possibly directly through the air,
undulant fever, parrot fever (psit-
tacosis), the tick-borne typhuslike
diseases, botulinus poisoning, with
possibilities for developing some-
thing not now known in flu, COM
mon colds and maybe malaria.
There are also plant and animal
diseases with war possibilities.
Thirty y-seven diseases are ruled
out as not good for war, because
of available vaccinations or diff
culties, Of spreading them. These
include smallpox, cholera, typhoid.
streptococcus and stapynlococcus
infections, most pneumonias, lep-
rosy and venereal diseases.

Health Lessons

children must actually live the

health if they are to receive
worthwhile training declared
Mr.. Marion Riser, supervisor Of
teacher training, State Board of
Health. Recently / saw a won
derful example of education by
doing and living in the demon
stration school at Mississippi
Southern college. During the
study of eyes, vision and lighting,
the children of the sixth grade
became aware of the inadequate
lighting of the room and decided
something should be done about
it. They made plans for repaint-
the walls a soft peach color and
ing the ceiling a flat white and
did the work themselves. They
also made an arrangement to use
frames covered with unbleached
cotton cloth extended at an an
gle over the upper half of the
windows, shutting out the glare
and diffusing the light SO that
each desk was well lighted. The
children were as fresh at 2:3G in

drink, more. than 100000 drink
to excess, and there are about
100000 who are definitely pro5-
lem drinkers, according to the
Research Council on Problems of
Alcohol. Many Of these drinkers
are sick physically. There is a
growing recognition throughout
the country, based on medical evil
dence as well as on the desire
for a strong, healthy society, that
these problem drinkers should be
treated as sufferers from a disease
rather than punished in jails, ex-
cept in selected cases. There IS
an increasing recognition that
their rehabilitation depends not
nearly so much upon punishment
and exhortation to reform as
upon sound medical knowledge

Commenting on this experience
and on the way the school health
service operates, Mr.. S. M Cain,
superintendent of the Clinton
schools, expressed the opinion
that one Of the best ways to get
the benefits of the School Health
Service is through the organiza-
ton of a school health council
composed of teachers, public
health people, parents and per-
haps Students representative
group that knows the needs Of
the community and school and
can plan to meet those needs.
A decided increase in the num-
Der of medical corrections made
through this service was report
ed by Mr.. Russell Lyons, super
visor of physical education. Dur
ing the past six months a total
of 1872 children have had cor
rections made" he said. Gan aver
age of $1,400 of state funds is be-
ing spent for this purpose each
month; that means $4,000 when
the money from the state is
matched bv local funds-more
than $4,000 a year if the present
trend continues. This money is
used only for those who cannot
afford to have the corrections
made themselves. Applications
for these services are made
through the county health Of
ficers."

other. BY padding the ceiling and equipping
the machines with heavy shock mountings, he
cut the racket of the punch presses to an even
hum. no more annoying than the sound of a
sewing machine
Sound engineers have performed miracles
in industrial areas through application of
three principles:
!. Eliminate most noise vfgh in the machine
iiseF. In the '.noiseless" typewriter, for in
stance. sound has been deadened not by
cushioning the parts, but by such fine design
that almost all friction is removed.
Z. Keep noise "boxed up and absorb as
much as possible. Since noise bounces back
and forth like rubber ball and spreads to
all corners OF room, sound engineers put
acoustical materials on the ceilings and some
times on the walls.
J. Re-desigu the factory 10 isolate the most
offensive noises. Machines like punch presses
are placed in separate rooms and mounted
on heavy rubber or other cushioned supports
to prevent vibrations from being carried to
other parts Of the building. One sound engi-
necr substituted welding for riveting,
and installed lights in place Of klaxons
and bells for plant signals.
In laboratory experiments, one noise has
been used to cancel out another DR.. Carey
P. McCord and John d. Goodell. Of Detroit,
have made two sound waves of equal in
tensity and frequency collide in such way
that they subtract from each other. The
result approaches silence.

intendent, maddened by the ceaseless wall of
radios from every window, seized his pistol
one day and shot one of his tenants But the
jury concluded that noise was the real cul-
pit, sentenced him to only five years in prison.
The case books of doctors and psycholo-
gists are filled with stark proof of what noise
can do to people.
An assembly worker at a large airplane
plant lost 40 pounds in three months from
his machinery. Shifted to a quieter depart
ment, he gained them all back.
Noise is the immediate cause of thousands
of industrial accidents every year. In study
of one industrial area, DR.. Kennedy found
that fatigue, due chiefly to noise, led to 81
per cent of 2,678 accidents he examined.
Causes Deafnsrs
NOISE can even be the cause of labor strife.
According to DR.. Carey P. McCord, of De-
troit's Industrial Health Conservancy Labo-
ratory, workers can stand the inconvenience
of heat and cold far better than noise. In
many cases, it was the irritant which finally
brought their dissatisfaction to the breaking
point.
Noise is running the hearing of thousands
of workers throughout the country In New
York alone, survey of l,O4O workers who
had been exposed to severe noise for Is years
revealed that over Is per cent were deaf.
Although we hear noise all our lives. few of
us understand it or know how to cope with it.
Noise is made up of sound waves, travelling
through the air at LOO feet second. The

Noise control in factories. Offices and cities
has made rapid strides during the last few
years. A new type of scientist, the Sound
engineer" has been drawing on combined
resources of medicine. psychology and me-
chanics to battle against noise.
He Cuss the Racket
WHEN L. E. Murray, a well-known sound
engineer, is called into factory, he first
searches the premises like detective. With
sensitive machine, called frequency ana
lyzer, he discovers what noises are most irri-
tating, sets out to eliminate them. In one
factory. for instance, rs punch presses were
located on three-foot centers, facing eacn

volume of these waves is measured by sys-
tenn of decibels A whisper at five feet, for
instance, registers five decibels. City traffic
registers 70. a pneumatic drill 80, an airplane
motor ITO. The most that any ear can stand
without severe pain is 100 decibels.
Scientists know the striking power of noise.
1T is hard mechanical thing which can
almost be picked up and examined" said
Professor A. M. Low, of Britain 1T can break
plate-glass window or even undermine the
structural foundations of building"
Noise can kill. High frequency sound waves
passing through water have torn small fish
to bits. Sound waves have been used to
destroy many kinds of bacteria.

NOISE may be undermining
your health, but there is some
thing you can do about it. For
instance, here are the "Seven
Commandments, as laid down

sioner of Memphis:
