an old piece Of carpeting or other
absorbent material to a block OF
wood. Satllrate the material with
linseed oil and rub in one direc-
ton to remove rust and other UNI
wanted CRIME. Too much oil will

QUESTION: l recently lined
wardrobe with red cedar. Is
there a special way to preserve
the moth-killing aroma by finish
ing the wood?
ANSWER: The best way to
preserve the cedar odor is by
keeping the wardrobe door tight
ly closed. and even this will not
prolong the odor indefinitely.
Cedar should never be finished
because varnish and shelac seal
the surface and prevent the wood
from emitting the odor.
Eventually, the cedar odOr VIII
decrease, though it still will be
noticeable two or three years
after being installed. Best thing
to do at that time is to go over
all the cedar lightly with a porta-
BILE electric sander. The wood
again will emit the valuable
cedar odor when a fresh surface
is exposed.

ANSWER: Screens can't help
but acquire weathered look
after a few years. That is why
it's a good idea to refinish them
regularly.
1t is best to remove rough spots

Soviets Claim Comets
Will Light Mars Route

Commerce, declared the new
possibilities stem from initial
success with a form OF "arti-
fetal comet" arrangement
used in the Russian sun-orbit-
ing rocket Mechta launched
last January.
Mechta was equipped with
a device that spewed out a
cloud Of sodium gas which the
Russians claim they spotted
while Mechta still was heading
for its solar orbit.
But the new report says
sodium gas has drawbacks as
a man-made comet in that
sodium is also contained in the
atmosphere of the sun itself.
Thus, the natural sodium al
most completely absorbs the
warelengths of sunlight which
are needed to excite" the So
dunn in the artificial comet
and make it light UP with an
orange-yellow glow.
So, the Russian report
added:
THE selection of more ef-
fective substances is now being
made and it may be assumed
that the question of the posi-
bility of observing an artificial
comet at an Earth-Mars dis
lance has been resolved in the
affirmative"

If this rule holds good this
year, the actual paralytic total
to date is 2,3l4. This is slightly
more than twice the number of
paralytic cases in 1857 u,l34
md considerably more than
twice as many as in 1858 (928).
The polio season last year
| got off to a late start. however,
with the severe Detroit out
break coming after the report
1 ing period corresponding to the
August 1922 week of 1859.
Vast Drop in New Cases
When the growth of popula-
ton is taken into consideration.
the sharp reduction in incidence
of polio since Salk vaccine
came in becomes even more APP
parent. The number of paralytic
cases per 100000 population

cidence-dropped from 2l.3 in
1882 to a low of is and up to
81 in 1858. No comparable
incidence figures for 1859 can
be derived at present because
the season has not yet run its
course.
Fatalities over the same
period dropped from 3,145 in
1852 g per 100000 to an
estimated 240 in 1858 COL per
100000.
The estimated population

in 1852 to 173,260,OOO in 1858.
as of July l of both years. The
mid-1959 estimate was l76.-
100000.
Polio Since 1852
The history of polio in the
United States between 1852
and the present seems to shape
up this way:
A peak was reached in 1852,
followed by a slackening in
THE next two years. In 1854,
DR.. Jonas Salk conducted field
trials which resulted in the
vaccination Of 100000 children
too small a number for the
effects, if any. to be reflected
significantly in national sta
tisticS.
In 1855, the first Salk shots
were given on Nationwide
scale, but the vaccinations
were interrupted owing to if
flculty with serum produced by
one West Coast pharmaceutical
house. Nevertheless, the incl
dence, both total and paralytic,
decreased markedly.
The 1856 Qlltbreaks-in which
a total of 15,140 persons were
affected and 1911 paralyzed-
was the last of the bad odd
style" years. Incidence in 1857
and 1858 was light by compari-
son.
Four Shots Standard
A four-shot series is now
considered standard for ade-
quate protection against para
lytic polio. Public Health Serv-
ice doctors say. Even after four
shots, however. about 10 per
cent of the persons vaccinated
remain susceptible to some de-
gree.

PoIaris Fired
For First Time
Off Ship at Sea

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
Aug. % (AP).-The Nays
Polaris missile was fired for the
first time yesterday from a
ship at sea, taking a big step
In its development as a nuclear
punch for rowing submarines.
The successful shot followed
by a week a Moscow Radio
claim that Russian submarines
could enter Hudson Bay from
under Arctic ice and lombard
the industrial heart of America
with ballistic missiles.
The launching Of the 28-foot
test version Of the Polaris was
one of the most spectacular
ever seen here.
The USS Observation Island,
a 563-foot converted transport
ship, glided slowly through
calm Atlantic waters about
miles off the cape.
AS the countdown reached
zero, compressed air popped
the Polaris out of tube buried
vertically in the deck of the
ship. The missile leaped ST.
lently to a point 10 feet over
head and its first stage engine
ignited.
Speeds for 700 Miles
Squirting a tail of white
smoke from its solid fuel, the
Polaris curved high in the sky
and sped down the Atlantic
missile range to a watery target
some 700 miles away. A bright
flash of fire a minute after
launch revealed ignition of the
second stage.

included in the total. II
brought the years total up to
2,l22 paralytic cases out of a
total of more than 3,436 Of all
polio types. Total Of paralytic
and non-paralytic cases for the
week was 486,
Not since the week ended
September Is, 1856. have more
paralytic cases been reported.
The largest number in any one
week in 1857 was los, and in
1858, 22l.
Public Health officials attri-
butte the rise in incidence to a
wave" or cycle in which
polio is presumed to run. The
peak of an earlier cycle was
attained in 1852. before the
Salk polio vaccine was devel-
oped. 1T was between nine and
10 times as severe as last years
polio season.
Salk Vaccine Credited
In the opinion of these Of
ficials, the Salk vaccine is
directly responsible for the
"damping" effect on the polio
cycle. AS additional evidence
they point to a survey of 1924
paralytic cases reported up to
August II, as conducted by the
PHS Communicable Disease
Center in Atlanta.
The survey showed that SOC
paralyticS had no vaccine and
225 had one or two shots. Any
number of shots fewer than
three is regarded as an lin
complete vaccination"
Thus, more than f1ve-sixths
1885 per cent? of the paralytic
cases involved persons either
unvaccinated or incompletely
vaccinated. This is in close
accord with the percentage re-
duction in incidence of para
lytic polio since 1852.
BY comparison with the Ma
ton as a whole. the District
and its suburbs were having an
easy time. Only one new para
lytic case was reported in
Washington and none in near
by Maryland and Virginia in
the August 1922 week.
"HOtspOts" in Midwest
This brings the years total
for the area to 10-three each
in the District, Alexandria and
Fairfax and one in Arlington,
including one fatality in the
District. In the same period
last year there were seven
cases. five in Washington and
two in Fairfax.
This years polio "hotspots'
were in the central part of the
country. The first serious out
break was in Des Moines, Iowa,
late in June, followed by high
incidence in Kansas City, Little
Rock and Oklahoma City.
In addition to the 2,122 cases
clearly labeled paralytic, 1874 of
the years total to date of 3,436
are "unspecif1ed" as to paralytic
or non-paralytic. Statisticians
at PHS have found that when
unspecified cases are later de-
scribed medically. about half of
them turn out to be paralytic,

The team included some $50

about so technicians from
Lockheed Aircraft Corp, which
builds the missile.
Soviet Claim Deprecated
United States submarine spe-
cialists scoffed at the Soviet
claim that its submarines could
fire missiles from Hudson Bay
For one thing, they believe
Russian missiles lack the range
for an attack on American
cities from that distance.
However, the submarine
threat is very real for United
States coastal cities.
Admiral Arleigh Burke
United States Chief of Naval
Operations, announced last
week that Russia probably has
submarines capable of firing
ballistic missiles. 1t is believed
these missiles have a range OF
less than 200 miles. however.
When the Polaris is oper-
ational, probably by mid 1860,
it will have an initial capa-
bility of hurting an atomic
warhead 1900 miles. 1t will
have the added advantage OF
being fired from nuclear-
powered submarines. The Rus
slams are using conventional
submarines.
