Rambling Among Words.


I have devoted several columns
to the new and zany craze for mis-
using the words nostalgia" and
nostalgia" I have emphasized that
nostalgia means "a morbid or psy-
chotic longing to return home,
and that nostalgia means home
sickness" nothing more, nothing
less.
We do not need to review the
many ludicrous examples of the mis-
use which I have quoted from time
to time. But to complete our rec
ord of the popular reductio ad alb
surdum, let US give due attention
to the latest ridiculosity.
Mrs. Homer Hill Of Hollywood
has sent a newspaper ad OF an ex-
elusive shop for women. The ad
features a nightgown Of sheer white
rayon crepe for-now get this-'the
wedding night of the sweet spring
bride" The gown is titled in black
faced type: Romantic nostalgia.
Has 1t ever occurred to you that
we need but two letters-'e" and IS
to turn applause into applesauce?
There's a moral there II you think
about 1t for q moment.
What's the origin Of the phrase
thumbs down" as an expression Of
disa approval? One theory advanced
by the syndicated cartoonist who
deals In unbelievable curiosa Is that
thumbs up" is supposed TO point
or refer to heaven, and that
thumbs down suggests the inferno
The theory Is nonsense.
Thumbs down" is simply trans
lation of the Latin police verso,
with thumb turned downward or
reversed pronounced: PoL-i-see
VUR-soe.
Police verso was the sign used by
spectators at the Roman gladla-
torial games In condemning q
vanquished gladiator to death at
| the hands of his adversary.
| It Is doubtful that the sign
thumbs UP" was used In sparins
| the life Of the defeated gladiator.

I'll SCARLET
FEVER CASES
SO Cases Reported for Same
Period Last
Year
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN


An average of AS persons still
die of scarlet fever in the United
States every year, and there are
approximately 145,000 cases re-
ported, says the State Board of
Health, which has on record twen-
ty new cases of the disease in Del
aware reported during the past
two weeks. The total number of
cases of scarlet fever reported in
the State to date this year is now
II as compared with SO reported
for the same period last year. The
entire year of 1948 yielded 158
scarlet fever cases reported in Del
aware, and it is probable that
many more cases, which were not
severe, were never reported.
However, it is very often the
mild cases of scarlet fever, which
sometimes occur without a rash,
that cause epidemics of this child
hood disease. But scarlet fever
without a rash is just as contag-
ious as scarlet fever with a rash
perhaps more so, say health ofic-
ials, because it is not recognized
as scarlet fever and nothing is
done to keep the infection from
spreading.
Confning a child who has just
a mild sore throat is not only
safeguard to the child himself, but
also to his playmates and members
of his family. Scarlet fever large
ly affects children under 10 years
OF age, and it is usually 2 to z
days after exposure to carrier of
this disease that the first signs of
infection appear.
A child who is coming down with
scarlet fever may, for day or two
seem tired and out of sorts, and
then develop fever, sore throat
and vomiting. In day or two the
rash (little red fiat points, begin
to show up on the neck and chest
and gradually spread over most of
the body. The tongue is furred,
and in the course of several hours
red points begin to appear through
the coating. The entire tongue
gradually becomes red (strawber-
ry tongue.).
In mild cases the rash may dis
appear in from four to eight hours.
The throat may be only slightly
sore and the fever may remain
low, but even mild cases may have
severe complications, including ear
trouble, infected glands, and dis
ease of the kidneys or heart.
Scarlet fever is spread through
discharges from the mouth or nose
of the acutely ill, convalescent
patients or carriers, directly
through house dust, or through
contaminated milk or other food
Extreme care should be taken
when person is just coming down
with scarlet fever, for it is during
the first stages of this disease that
it is most contagious.
Children who have had scarlet
fever or who have been exposed te
the disease must not return te
school until permission is given By
the health officer, the school doc
tor or attending physician, say'
the State Board of Health, and any
member of the Ill childs family
who is food handler or whose
work brings them in close contact
with children should be excluded

added that he would consider
but he did not promise-releasing
such statements.
Admirals Radford and Denfelo
added Endorsements to the Began
letter in which they agreed with
the views he expressed.
Admiral Bogan's hearty and
complete" Endorsement of Capt,
Crommelin's charges that the
Navys attack force was being
"nibbled to death" at defense
headquarters was part of his
letter.
1.-The basic reason" behind the
Crommelin statement. Admiral
Began wrote Secretary Matthews,
"is a genuine fear in the Navy for
the security of our country If the
policies followed in the Depart
ment Of Defense since the Ma
tional Security (unihcation) act
became law are not drastically
changed and SOON"
The Navy originally opposed the
passage of the unification, and 1t
was only through the interven-
ton Of President Truman that the
service ceased its propaganda
drive and a compromise was
worked out. Some members of
Representative Wilson'S commit
tee privately viewed the release
Of the documents as another blast
by Navy champions in the unof-
ficial war between the Navy and
Air Force for congressional favor
and strategic assignments. In re-
cent years the Air. Force has re-
placed the Navy as Capitol Hills
fayorite. ,@ .~~-.$.
Bickering Declared Rule.
While unification "can be made
to and does operate effectively in
the field" Admiral Began said
cit would be sheer Ipalderdash to
assume that there has been any
thing approaching it among the
Esecretariat, the joint staff or the
high command of the three serv-
ices.
"Bickering Is still the rule;
unanimity Is non-existent." he
declared. --.
