Smallpox is a serious disease. Even though ther; is no known smallpox in the community, expo-: sure may occur at ny time. In these , days ot rapid travel, a person who I has been exposed to smallpox in one community may travel to an- i other community far distant before he knows that he is developing the i disease and is capable of spreading I it. i Vaccination against smallpox is; miple. Every baby should be vac-, ciliated during the first year of j lire, when he is six years old, and I when he is twelve, or at any time I if an epidemic of smallpox occurs, ! or every 5 to 7 years as 50rf of j those not vaccinated within 15 to 211 years have been found to have ! lost their immunity With vaccina- lion every 5 to 7 years, immunity is boosted without making another sea r. Diphtheria and Whooping Cough are also serious diseases of early childhood against which protec tion can be given. Statistics show that our greatest loss of life fromj these diseases are in children under five years of age and in whooping cough under one year of age par ticularly. Why wait until they are old enough to start to school. While they are young is the most import ant time to protect them against these treacherous diseases. The doctor is the expert to whom we should turn for guidance and assistance in anything that per tains to the health of our children. If a child has any physical handi cap, it is important that the condi tion should he recognized early and corrected at the most suitable time. Often a child's health is im paired and his activities limited by conditions that could have been conected by medical treatment. If physical handicaps are recognized early, it may be possible to correct them before they become serious. Have your child examined regu larly, at least once a year after three years of age. Have him ready for school on the day school be gins in the fall. That means ex amination in the spring to allow time for needed corrections. Act now! Our Process Stops Cotton Mildew Bare Discovery of World Wide Interest Made by Army Scientists. PHILADELPHIA. In an an nonneement of worldwide interest, the Philadelphia quartermaster de pot revealed it h id found a way to protect cotton fabrics from mildew by making the fabric fire-resistant. The army further disclosed that laboratory scientists now be lieve that cotton fabrics "may simul taneously be made capable of resist ing (ire, water, milJew, sunlight, shrinkagr and possibility of abra sion." The scientific work here, which Is hfing studied by cotton in'erests in ail parts of the woild, alto has con vinced the developers of the ne.v methods that "equally successful re sults can be expected soon fur wool." The experiments began as a war time project to fight the enormous losses in army equipment by quick rotting of cottan fabrics in the hot, him.id climate of the Sooth Pacific. This effort was concentrated on developing fungicides poisons to kill the fungus growths and bacteria that were doir,,' the damage. Losses were decreased, but the scientists found that some fungi !ed on the pre'ective coatings, exposing the cellulose (basic chemical substance of the cotton fiber) to attack ty oth er varieties tf fungi. Process Traced. In addition, some of the poison were lost through laundering, leach ing by rain and wear, and others in jured the human skin or weakened the fabric itself. The field of attack accordingly shifted and a research team led by Dr Ralph G. H Siu was created here for a thorough study. Scientific missions to all parts of the world collected sample' of fun gus growth. By isolation pnd elim ination, attention was directed to about 10,000 different cultures They learned that fungi enter a cotton fiber by burrowing from the outside to the center . '. the fiber, then spreading through the fiber lengthwise and finally growing out- I ward toward the surface. Chemically, the important fact was , that the fungi secreted an enzyme, cellulose, which converts into sotfar J the cellulose In the cotton. The fun gi feeds on the sugar but cannot do I so without the enzyme. j Four methods of attack then were considered: . First, "of considerable promise," is coating the fabric with resin,' which keeps the fungi out of the fab ric. J Second, "partially successful," use of a fungicide or poison. Revolutionary Theory. Third, a "significant theoretical basis" of the work, inhibit the chem ical action of the enzyme and pre vent it from converting cellulose into sugar. This was a sweeping idea, since no one poison will kill all fun gi but all fungi employ the same enzyme. Fourth, "most promising" of all, change the shape of the cellulose molecule in the. cotton fiber and thereby prevent the enzyme from at taching Itself to the cellulose mole cule at all. meaning no su.ar for the fungi. In the study of this last approach, it was learned that if the enzyme Is to be effective in attacking the cellu lose molecule, it must match the shape of that molecule, at least in certain regions. Several chemical processes were found which could effectively change the shape of the cellulose molecule enough to defeat the enzyme. Then came the decisive discovery that precisely this effect also was created by treatments given to the fabric for the purpose of making garments fire-resistant and water repellant. "There Is every reason to be lieve," Dr. Siu said, "that the quar termaster corps will have this prob. lem licked before long." Cars of Revolutionary Design Art Being Developed by Russ LONDON. Passenger trains, buses and automobiles of revolution ary design and capable of high speeds are being developed in Rus sia, a Tass news agency broadcast aaid. The Transport Research institute Is developing a new bus which will carry 50 passengers and do 120 miles an hour. It is powered with an air cooled aircraft engine, Tass report ed. Tass said Soviet factories will be turning out autos steered with rud ders by the end of the present five year plan. The new autos, also of frameless airplane construction, will develop "a higher speed" on 3 r . cent less fuel, the broadca'-t a. Unite ' l.jies Rubber Signs Contract With 26 Plants CINCINNATI. The U.

Babies Face Greater Danger Than Troops Chief of Children's Bureau Tells of Perils. WASHINGTON Catherine E. P. i I. enroot, chief of the labor depart ment children's bureau, says it if 1 more dangerous to be a baby In America than It was to be In combat during World War II. "Metween Pearl Harbor and V-J Hay. 4.K1.0CU) babies died for lack of good medical and hospital care nearly twice the number of men killed in action," Miss Lenroot told llie annual Women's Patriotic Con ference on National Defense. More than 1.000 women, represent ing ?9 patriotic organizations, at tended. Miss Lenroot reported consider able progress has ben made in the I r st generation, asserting: "Less than 40 children in 1,000 died before their fiit birthday, as compared with H)o in every 1.000 thirty years ago." While much has ben done toward eliminating childhood communicable diseases, she predicted one child in 20 will spend part of his life in a mental institution if the present rate of mental difeases continues. Right now 500,000 children under 18 veins of age suffer from rheu matic heart disease, one million from hearing defects, four million from visual defects and 20 million from dental defects, she said. Frieda S Miller, director of the labor d ;ar!ment women's bureau, ..lid America's peacetime economy needs women and is geared to h.,ve millions of them in the labor f- ice. Women employed reached an all time hi; h of nearly 19 million in mid-HHt and now is only one million K s than a year ago, she said. Asscrtim," that with few excep tions, women work for the same reasons men do, she urged the "combined effort of mutual help of all women of America" to lessen in--(iial.'ies in opportunities and com pensations. Wife Had Nose for Gas, Hunt Ends Wall DKCKER VILLE, MICH. Fred Watson, a filling station operator, notified state police that he had mistakenly sold an unidentified man ethyl gasoline for fuel oil. Sandusky, Port Huron, Detroit, Bay City, Saginaw and Pontiac state police posts were alerted. An estimated 2.000 phone calls were made to rural homes. The aters in two villages interrupted programs to relay a warning. A state trooper, participating In a door to door hunt in Sanilac coun. ty, found Walter Wilson, who said he had made the purchase. The officer found two and one half gallons of gasoline in the stove. Wilson said he was pre paring to light it when his wife wrinkled her nose and said it smelled like gasoline. So Wilson didn't strike the match. Ranchers Use New Type Pen For Branding and Tattooing CHICAGO. -The ball-pen is re placing the branding iron and tattoo needle on many farms and ranches throughout the country. "Branding" of registered cattle and "tattooing" of rabbits, sheep and other small stock is being speeded up and sim plified through use of the unique writing instrument, letters re ceived here by Eversharp reveal. Farmers, ranchers, stock breeders and poultrymen are finding that ball pens lighten one of the most time consuming and onerous of farm chores, the letters indicate. In the case of cattle and smaller stock the branding is' usually done in the ear, where the owner writes the animal's register number or oth er identifying symbols. A small wooden clamp then is applied briefly to press the permanent Ink firmly into the flesh where the mark re portedly remains for the animal's lifetime. Chickens are marked either on the upper leg or under the wings, as are turkeys, ducks arid pigeons. One beekeeper reported that the pen had saved him countless hours in put ting proper identity marks on queen bees. The smooth ball, he declared, prevents injury to the insects and the quick-drying ink does not smear or blur, in contrast to the brush and paint method he formerly employed. In other fields the ball-pen ia be ing used to outline areas for X-ray treatment, to mark prescription symbols on optical glass, to indicate lines along which lapidaries cut gems, for out'ining patterns on wood, glass, leather, plastics and cloth and for some 50 other novel pur poses for which the conventional pen is unsuited, letters received indi cate. Commodity Prices Are at Postwar Peak, Says Burean WASHINGTON. The bureau of labor statistics reported that whole sale commodity prices rose to a "new postwar high" In January. The bureau's index for 800 com modities rose 0.6 per cent to 140.8 per cent of the 1926 average. It was 0.7 per cent higher than a month earlier, 32 per cent higher than a year ago, 65.1 above Janu ary, 1937, and 46.8 higher than Jan uary, 1929.
