The type of bidding being used
by North and South really called
for North to bid 2-Diamonds over
his partner's opening 1-No Trump.
But North knew West as a player
given to leading his short suit
against No Trump contracts, if
his hand was not extra strong, in
an effort to hit his partner's suit, 1

But Science Gains in Tuberculosis War
By LOU A.N ILtMJlS.M.Mi, >1. 1).
• Dr. Lewis J. Moorman of Okla
homa City, wrote last year a very
clever little article called "A Hug
Full of Tricks." He was refer
ring to the germ of tuberculosis
and it has, indeed, bet-n a plaguev
bug for the human race and one
which we have spent some of our
lust efforts in trying to subdue.
Dr. Clendening will answer
questions of general interest
only, and then only through
his column.
It has probably ben an unwel
come and uninvited guest in mans
body since the very earliest times.
We know from examination of
Egyptian mummies that K.OOO
years ago on the banks of the Nile
it produced its ravage-. It certainly
caused tuberculosis of the spine
and hip, which we can see in mum
mies, and while there are no lungs
left in these remains we must as
sume that there was tuberculosis
of the lungs then also.
Will Survive Unfavorable
Conditions
It is a microscopic bit of pro
tein and sugar, covered with a
skin of wax and this wax ap
parently has been its means of pro
tection to allow it to survive under
unfavorably conditions through
long centuries and "l! sorts of wea
ther conditions. It is possible to
culture tubercle bacilli and have
them live when picked up from the
bodies of these same Egyptian
mummies. They withstand cold
and rain and heat—at least clima
tic heat. (And it takes a goo'l
deal of surgical sterilization heat
to ki.l them.)
The Bible refers to its ravages
in Deuteronomy — "The Lord
shall smite thee with a con rimp
tion and with a fever and with an
inflammation."
Some time ago a famous physi
cian said that there were so many
unsolved problems in the field of
tuberculosis that "no matter what
we take away from infinity, infin
ity remains.*'
During the last century, how
ever. mankind has begun to ger
the better of the old enemy. About
a hundred years a.*o the fir*{
open air treatments 1. •' tubercu
losis were begun. It is o: v with
in the last one hundred a.:'! fifty
years that the different fori::- of
tuberculosis — lung, bone aud
lymph eland—have teen shown to
be due to the same cause.
Germ Was Isolated
About fifty years ago the germ
itself was isolated and stained
and cultured by Rob-rt Koch and
Paul Ehrlich. The use of the ste
thoscope to detect cases early—
and the even more valuable use of
the X-ray, discovered in 1395,
have given us the means to detect
the presence of tuberculosis in
those who do not know they have
it, and to keep them ft >m infect
ing other people.
More productive than anything
else has been the organized work
directed by the National Tubercu
losis Association in bringing all
these methods to focus on the com
munity problem of tuberculosis.
We have long ago learned that
people will not come in to hospi
tals or doctors for tuberculosis un
til it is too late to do them much
jrood. We have to go out and find
them and we have ti> ■•rovide places
to treat them aftertney are found.
This is all part * the work of
the National Tuberculosis Asso
ciation, for the funds of which
they depend upon the sale of
Christmas seals. Anybody, no
matter what his financial status,
can buy some of these seals and
use them on letters during the
Christmas .'oason. He may have
the satisfaction of knowing when
he does this that he is helping in
• his own way to circumvent the sly
ways of the "bug full of tricks."
