cluding three visitors. They pro-
ceeded as usual with their business
meeting, games and refreshments,
Their Senior hostess, Marie Draper,
expressed herself as being both a
mazed and immensely pleased with
the seriousness and earnestness
of this group of teenagers in their
discussions of the Bible. They were
well informed and with great de-
sire to learn more. Surely the fu-

Blood Test May
Detect Active T. B
Announcement OF New Procedure
Made BY DIR. erald Beatty

1t has been brought to the at
tention of the Delaware Anti
Tuberculosis Society that a blood
test has been developed which may
prove practical for the detection
of active tuberculosis, Dr. Gerald
A. Beatty, president, announced
this week.
The test has been devised by in
vestigators at Northwestern Uni
yersity Medical School, working
under a lnedical research grant
from the National tuberculosis
Association.
Lack of such a test has been a
grave handicap in the diagnosis of
tuberculosis. A test has been diff
ficult to devise because of the
questionable role of antibodies in
the tuberculosis disease.
The test, to determine antigen-
antibody reaction. is known as a
double-diffusion precipitation tech
nique.. Virulent tubercle bacilli
are used for the antigen substance,
which has an agar gel as its base
and which solidifies after precipi-
tated into glass tubes. A second
layer of agar is inserted, and the
tube is then filled with the blood
serum to be tested for antibodies.
If the serum is from tuberculous
patients, a cloudy layer is precipi-
tated in the tubes as the antigen
meets antibody. This usually oc-
ours within 48 to 72 hours.
when Enthusiastically sharp bands
of precipitate were observed in the
tubes" the investigators stated,
''the tests were considered positive.
The absence of true antigen-anti-
body precipitate was interpreted
as indicating the absence of detect
able tuberculosis antibodies in the
patients serum"
In the experiments reported, the
serum from So patients was tested
and in all but four instances anti
bodies in the serum reacted to the

The basic purpose of this So
cial insurance program is to
provide bedrock protection by
placing In part earned income
which Is no longer available be-
cause a worker is RETIRED dis
abled, or has died. 1t was an
ticipated that social security
benefits would be supplemented
whenever possible by addition
al income from investments,
private insurance, rentals or
parf-time employment. In other
words, this program will help,
but It will not relieve you of
your responsibility TO make
adequate provision for your fu-
ture.

Does the household employee
receive the same benefits as
any other worker who is insur-
ed under the social security
program?
Yes. All benefits are the same
regardless of the type OF work.
The amount of monthly benefit
depends on the wages earned by
the employee, not the kind of
work.
do you have to be without mon
ey to get benefit payments?
No. This Is an earned right.
You can get the payments re-
gardless of how much money

since the payments are to re-
place part of lost earnings, you
do not get them ii You earn

New Potatoes
Now that early-crop of new
potatoes are on the market atten-
Iion should be called to their
characteristics so that homemakers
can buy and use them to best adj
vantage.
New" potatoes are more per-
ishable than late-crop potatoes be-
cause they are harvested before
1hey reach maturity They are also
easily bruised because of their thin
skins. Even under the most favor
able home conditions they keep
only a few weeks, so buy them in
imall quantity.
Research on potatoes at the u.
S. Department of Agriculture's IN
stitute of Home Economics shows
they keep best where it is cool but
not in as cold a place as refrig-
orator. Storage temperatures of
forty-five to fifty degrees Fahren-
heit are best
Potatoes should be stored where
there is some ventilation-never
in an alright containeT.
Early-crop potatoes hold their
shape during and after cooking
Thus they are favorites served
plain, boiled in their jackets, in
Salads hash-browned, creamed and
parsley buttered. Early-crop po-
atoes contain slightly more vita
min C than more mature potatoes
0r those that have been held in
storage.
Here are a few suggestions for
getting the most nutritive value
rom new" potatoes. Place un-
leeled potatoes in a small amount
Of boiling salted water. Use about
wo cups of water and one half
teaspoon of salt for four medium
sized potatoes. Cover the pan and
boil gently in order not to break
Up the potatoes. When done, drain
potatoes at once to prevent soggi-
ness and uncover to let steam es-
ape.
