Murres are hardy birds of the
north seas. These mariners are
clad in glossy black and white. You
are reminded of Penguins at first
sight. Their legs are set well back
on their body and they have broad
webbed feet, so they can stand erect
and even walk. This proves to be
an advantage on the over-croWded
cliff which hundreds of thousands
of INJURIES and other birds use as a
home site when not foraging for
fish. The stream lined INJURIES stand
close together with bills pointing
skyWard, and much space Is thus
conserved. No vital energy is lost
making a noise. Their neighbors
produce enough of it, goodness
knows.
On the crowded wind-sWept cliffs
of the Pribilofs the INJURIES have a
difficult existence. They are skill
full fishermen, but their hold on
the rocky cliff is so crowded they
never even attempt to make nest
for their colorful eggs Some bounce
off the sides and are lost.
Since it is most difficult for the
murre to launch his heavy body
into the air, the birds wisely select
a very high cliff. The very small
wings beat the air frantically, the
broad feet push hard to assist in
the take-off. Often the effort is
too much and the f1ier goes off
the cliff to land eventually in the
water, under which he travels with
amazing speed. His wings often
serve as oars. To take off from
the water the bird uses his small
wings so fast they are mere blurs,
the feet tread the water and finally
enough speed has been made for
the murre to be air-borne.
At home the mates are quiet and
peaceful. caressing each other with

The colorful eggs are laid in a
row on the black ledge. If they start
rolling they form a tight circle.
Aleuts are eager to collect the eggs,
often covering the floor of a small
skiff with them. There is no f1shy
flavor and they have the taste and
consistency of chicken eggs. Blue
foxes are very partial to them. The
foxes lick the inside of the shells

Goren on Bridqt

In the doghghtS Tor part-scoreS
many strange and exotic bids are
made In tournament play, where
each deal constitutes O match. To-
days hand Is from a recent pair
event In the Central Ohio champion
ships at Columbus.
West, who was third hand, opened
with a bid that we might refer to
as sporting, for want Of a better
adjective. In O total-point match
or in rubber bridge such a bid is
hardly to be countenanced, but
where each deal is match, un-
natural bide are not uncommon,
where the purpose is to steal a part
score or intimidate the opposition.
North passed as he licked his chops
and East responded with two hearts.
West had nothing more to say.
This was too much for North, who
now made belated double. East
redoubled and South, the happy
possessor of a six-card suit. in this
hour of need, naturally mentioned
1t. West decided that his sides
prospects for winning five tricks
were rather good, so he doubled in
the hope of scoring 200 points,
which is more than can be attained
by the making of any part-Score
contract.
Let it be known that this depart
ment does not recommend doubles
Of this type for everyday wear. 1t
seems to me there are many far
less hazardous ways of earning a
livelihood
The king of hearts was opened
and East overlook with the ace and
returned the singleton spade. De-
clarer won in dummy with the jack,
but was helpless to fulfill contract.
If he got the trumps out he would
lose three heart tricks and II he
tried for the heart ruff in dummy,
as he did. he could not avoid the
spade ruff by East. The second
heart lead was taken by East, who
continued with another heart. West
was able to ruff higher than the
dummy and return spade for East
to ruff. The remaining high trump
was the setting trick that yielded
200 points and an undisputed top
score.

Much remains to be done IN
stamping out one of the silliest
pronouncing errors ever to hit the
airways-that of sounding the er-
roneous long ''u" (yoo) in words in
which it should never occur. >,
We hear "afternyoon" for after
noon, "tyoor" for tour, "tyoo" for
to, too, two, "dyoo" for do, "cyool" for
cool, "syoop" for soup, "nyoodles"
for noodles, "blyoo" for blue, "glyoo'
for glue, ad nauseam.
OF course such pronunciations are
absurdly wrong; and they would be
amusing but for the fact that many
listeners think (erroneouSly, OF
course) that if a pronunciation is
heard on the radio it must be ac-
cepted as correct. Broadcasters,
therefore, have the power of pass

TREATMENT OF

tuberculosis, a serious commun-
icable disease that kills nearly
! 1000 Americans a week, can be
cured. But successful treatment
Of the disease depends largely-on
the cooperation between patient
and doctor. There r times, how
ever, when the doctor has more
difficulty with the members Of the
patients family then with the
patient.
This was true in the case of my
patient, young Gerald Fields.
When 2O-year-old Jerry found
out that he had tuberculosis, he
was at first very blue. But when
I explained that tuberculosis could
be cured and that the best place
to be treated was the sanatorium,
he was eager to go as soon as ar
rangementS could be made.
His parents, on the other hand,
reacted differently. When they
heard that their son had tubercul-
osis, they both came to my Of
flee to argue against Jerry's going
away. Jerry was an only son and
had never been away from home.
they told me. Wasn't there some
way that they could treat him at
home and give him any special
medicine he might need?
"We wondered if there wasn't
some new medicine or drug which
Jerry could take at home and
which would cure him in a short
time, DOCTOR" Mr.. Fields said. I've
heard something about a drug
used for tuberculosis. / suppose
it's expensive and we don't have
too much money especially
with Jerry's salary gone now
but we'd try to pay for it some
how.
Mr.. Fields was probably REFER
ing to streptomycin, a drug which
many people have heard of in re-
cent months in connection with
tuberculosis. Streptomycin is

being used with the greatest pro-
mise of any drug yet know in
tuberculosis treatment. But Sire
ptomycin is not a cure for tuber-
culosis - : it is another aid in
treating certain types of tuber-
c~ulosis, and then can be used only
in conjunction with already prov
ed methods of treatment, such as
bed rest and, sometimes, surgery,
and then only under strict medi-
cal supervision.
II understand how you feel" I
told the parents sincerely, "but
unfortunately we do not have a
drug, we can point to as a speci-
fic cure of tuberculosis. Doctors
and scientists are searching for
such a drug, but more research is
necessary before it can be found.
GERRY will have his best chance
Of cure at the sanatorium, where
he will get a complete bed rest
he needs under medical super
vision, plus everything else he
needs to help him fight his dis
ease. If the doctors at the san
forum feel that Jerry will bene-
fit by steptomycin, it will be given
him."
Mrs. Fields listened with much
interest to what I said and sud-
denly turned to her husband.

ing Jerry the best possible advice.

he wasn't entirely convinced then.
wasn't until Jerry had been in
the sanatorium for about three
months, and was getting along
fine, that I saw Mr.. Fields again.
When we met, he shook my hand
happily chatted about Jerry's pro-
.ress, and at first made no re-
ference to the scene in my office
before Jerry went way. But IS we

in such a way that during the

So that the roof and adjoin-

by the expansion of ice, the
roof edges and walls are not
built at a as degree angle, but
at 10 degree angle, thus al
lowing the ice to rise up, in
stead of pressing the building
walls out, and causing leaks in
the ceiling. This construction
has proved very satisfactory.

tai Society, "does not impress
itself upon the public with the
same dramatic impact as to the
more visibly crippling illnesses
which strike suddenly - leav-
ing twisted bodies and some
times death in their wake. Den
tai decay creeps slowly and
quietly-insidiously - finally
making itself known with a
sharp stab of pain or a slow
torturing ache, many times af-
ter it is too late to save the
tooth or after it's poisons have
spread to other parts of the

The penalties of pain and ill
