Streptomycin Shows Effect
In tuberculosis Treatment
New Drug, Now Less Toxic, Passes
From Experimental Stage
By TNomas r. Henry

Streptomycin has passed the experimental
stage In the treatment Of tuberculosis.
This was stressed in series ohreports before
q special session Of the American Medical As.
sociation in Chicago recently
During the past two years this drug, very
scarce at the end Of the war; has become
cheaper, purer and less toxic and remains the
only antibiotic drug Of proved value against one
Of mans worst enemies, according to DR.. Emil
Bosen Of Olive View, Calf. There remains.
however, one major obstacle-the fact that in
q short time a highly resistant strain of the
tubercle bacillus makes its appearance.
The best results. are being obtained with
tuberculous infections outside the lungs, re.

Clinic. i

others is the only effective treatment for gen.
eral tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis,
but there is serious danger of relapse In a high
proportion of cases."
Most of the failures, DR.. Hinshaw said sp-
pear to be due to the development of resistant
strains.
Possibly Of greater Importance than the
actual results to date Is the fact that the door
has been opened to chemical treatment OF
tuberculosis, said DR.. Karl Pfuetze and DR.,
Marjorie M. Pyle Of the Mayo Foundation.
If the deadly bacillus Is sensitive to one drug 1t
is almost certain to respond in similar man.
ner to others.
Toxicity Is Reduced
The toxicity Of streptomycin, they stressed.
Is greatly. reduced by giving carefully de-.
terinined minimal doses and the drug now can
be considered as relatively safe. But, the two
doctors said, the physician always must bear
in mind that he is producing strains Of drug
resistant bacilli.
The new drug pentaquine in combination
with quinine promises to be definite cure for
war veterans now suffering from almost monthly
relapses Of malaria, the Association was told
by DR.. L. T. Coggeshall Of the University Of
Chicago.
Among 400 veterans who had acquired q
persistent malaria in various parts OF the
world, he said, 95 have been checked for
from three to % months following treatment
with combined pentaquine and quinine and
there have been only two verified relapses.
The men were not hospitalized and the treat
ment did not interrupt their normal activi-

The New Glover

The existence of a fourth electrical
Shell" around the earth has been reported
to the American Astronomical Society in
convention at Pasadena. Three earlier
bands of the same mysterious character
already had been discovered. The new belt
has been named the G-layer. It is located
about $50 miles above the surface Of the
globe and represents the farthest extern
sion of the area mapped by science since
the beginning of exploration Of space by
means of sound.
DR.. Donald H. Menzel of Harvard Uni
versity seems to be the Christopher Colunl-
bus OF the fourth strata of the ionosphere.
His speciality is the sun and the planetary
nebulae, and he believes that our solar orb
in effect is "a hot star" which iorlizes-or
converts-clouds of gas by its intense
ultraviolet radiations That gas, being
ionized, is an electric conductor, and it has
been known as such for long time.
What is new is the geography of the
earth's environment as it is being revealed
by "a process similar to radar" in which
the time required for echoes" of radio
waves to return from "a radio mirror in
space" determines the distance of that
mirror" from the globe. DR.. Menzel told
the AAs that there are some striking
correlations between the frequencies of
radio waves reflected by the four electric
layers and the temperatures of those
layers"
The average layman probably cannot
follow the intricacies of such a quest, but
he is bound to be interested in the results
just the same. His life already has been
changed tremendously by the broken atom,
and he is becoming accustomed to the
more obvious of those mutations, particu-
larly the conception of constantly ex-
panding univerSe-growing in dimensions
and complexity as human knowledge OF
the cosmos grows The new G-layer of the
ionosphere is merely the latest of natures
challenges to humanity to develop spirit
ual philosophy equal to the need of life
ceaselessly becoming more and more dy-
manic in the comprehension OF scientists
If not actually in physical form and power.

the same period.
Q. When did the great Johnstown flood oc-
cur?--S. o. H.
A. The disastrous food at Johnstown. Pa,
began on Friday morning, May 81, 1885, when
the Conemaugh River overfowed its banks at
$3.50 am. 1t was not long before the greater
part OF the city was inundated with water
from to 10 feet in depth About $40 pm.
the dam across South Fork broke and loosed
over billion gallons Of water upon the city.
@. Are there any localities in the United
States where the air is entirely free OF ragweed
pollen?-D. r. r.
A. Tests have shown that Portland, Oreg.,
and Seattle, Wash, and their surrounding
vicinities are free from ragweed pollen. The
most widespread type Of hay fever Is caused

ers has brought thousands of persons annual
ly to the shrine. The feast day Of Ste. Anne is
July 20.
@. Do fruits and vegetables obtain their Vita
Minis from the soil?-C. P. Y.
A. Fruits and vegetables do not absorb their
vitamins from the soil In which they grow.
Vitamins are made within the plant, and will
depend to some extent on the health and vigor
of the plant. The controlling factors are the
varieties and conditions under which plants are
grown.

To the Editor Of The Star:
We have q child one year old, and would
like to 60 on record right now with the police
department and the District courts that our
child will be punished as we see fit as he grows
older. II Judge Nelson's decision were to
stand, there would be two alternatives for Mrs
Hall and myself-either to spend part Of our
time in the local clink or to move into some
neighborhood where parents are considered to
be the proper guides for their children.

Politicians Using" Negroes

To the Editor of The Star:
have read over the past few years 1etters
discussing the pros and cons Of the racial
issue The Negro writer's, teachers, etc., should
certainly realize by now that those whites who
mingle with them, including politicians, are
merely using them for their own ends and not
for the benefit of the Negro
II the Negro writer's and educators really
want to help their race, let them instill in their
minds to keep to themselves, and not allow
themselves to be led by cheap politicians (both
parties), Communists and others who are using
the Negro in promoting their own hidden
schemes. M P. r.

Calls Church Divisive

To the Editor Of The Star:
Let me thank you for your fairness in pre-
senting both sides of the Champaign Public
School CASE J. Bowie Lilard no doubt Is aware
of the fact that religious instruction is now
and has been since the founding of the Re-
public permissible in the homes and churches
of our country. For that fact. we all should
be thankful. Thus the state gives aid to the
growth of religion in general.
With public funds we establish and main
tain public schools in our land to improve the
intelligence OF our young citizens, the future
rulers of this Republic, but not to strengthen
their faith in any particular religion. The
public school tends toward unity among our
people. The church works toward division.
1t may not violate thes Constitution, but it
surely does violate our common sense, to bring
division in where unity is sought. Tax ex-
emption Of church property is only the small
wage the church receives for its good work.
in aiding and abetting other privileged groups
in the community
Safe lodging for all eternity" is the COM
modify the church has sold for centuries for
cash on the barrel-head knowing full well
that no one can force delivery. That Is
matter of faith.
Finally, we live in land where minority and
individual rights exist, as also our public
schools. Let US thank divine providence and
the founding fathers that we. have courts to
defend all three. And this does not violate
any fundamental American principle" 1t
rather afnrms it.
It appears to me that the American people
believe in one God of love, creation and order,
but not in one of cruelty, destruction and con-
fusion. CLARENCE DAVIS.

Why Democrats Are Confused

Why Democrats Are Confused
To the Editor of The Star:
Sad indeed Is the spectacle of the Democratic
Party-confused, bankrupt of leadership and
dispirited. Naturally it seeks a miracle but
Gen. Eisenhower, great soldier that he Is, Is
no miracle man. He knows it, and, therefore,
refuses to make the sacrifice In fact, he knows
nothing about the political game and says so.
OF course, the movement to draft him was
born of desperation. The New Deal Is definitely
on the way out, but the beneficiaries OF this
weird and unwhoesone political philosophy
cannot accept the inevitable without desper-
ate, die-hard struggle. So they were willing
to take q vicious gamble on man who oulges
big in the public eye, irrespective OF his fit-
ness or qualifications for the office at stake
or the duties to be performed
But the bankrupt leadership OF the once great
Democratic Party is easily understood. In 1882
the liberal leaders Of the Nation were within
its folds, but the people that year elected
dictator at heart, and, like his counterpart,
Hitler, Mr. Roosevelt played down every politi-
cal leader or possible successor, with the re-
SUIT that the party has no built-up leadership.
Mr. Roosevelt could brook no opposition, so he
selected as his associates men of mediocre cali
Der and especially of subservient and trucking
character. Barring Cordell Hull, this was lit
orally true Of appointments, both judicial and
executive He loaded the judiciary Of the
country with men selected not for their ex-
perience and attainment as lawyers, but for
their New Deal sympathies and outlook. He
blasted the old United States Supreme Court
when it unanimously held that he could not
arbitrarily and whimsically expel member
of the Federal Trade Commission, but only for
cause as the statute provided.
Certainly, one-man party is bankrupt, con-
fused and dispirited when its head dies Read
lily might this have been toreseen, but, as
history has many times demonstrated, men
tenaciously approve the distributors of gov
ernmental largess

phia will but confirm It, JOHN w. HESTER
