NEW YORK. Developed during the war to protect American soldiers against malaria, a new drug now Is available for domestic use, it has been disclosed. The drug originally was known as 7618 and later as chloroquine. It is 18 times as strong as quinine ana much less poisonous. It Is reponea a better drug than atabrine, which was used widely during most of the war. Chloroquine. a synthetic com pound made from coal tar, is relat ed chemically to both quinine ana atabrine. Clinical tests still are being made to determine whether it can be made still more effective. Government statistics show that more than 500,000 army ana navy personnel were treated for malaria during the war, but some medical men believe the number atiectea may have been close to 1,000,000. Thousands of men returning from the war particularly those from the Southwest Pacific have had recur rent attacks of malaria, and in some cases some have been reported as indirect carriers of the disease. With chloroquine, however, med ical scientists believe that no wide spread outbreak of malaria will occur oc-cur in this country. The new drug, which was not used on a big scale until late in the war, prevents and cures one type of malaria, called Plasmodium falciparum falcipa-rum but is not so effective against another type, called Plasmodium vi-vax. vi-vax. The latter is the recurring type. Chloroquine has several advan tages over atabrine in that it does not cause the patient's skin to stain; does not cause gastrointestinal symp toms and may be given in a single dose. Atabrine must be given daily for a week. The drug will be sold under the name of aralen. Presently it will be distributed through physicians and hospitals, but the time may come when it may be purchased in drug stores ' in the South, where malaria is most prevalent in this country. ' SuicideH In Time of Peace Rate illways Goes Down in Wartime and Bobs Up Again Afterwards. Firms Close Deal; Sign by Television WASHINGTON. Two business firms signed a contract by television, tele-vision, described as the first of its kind. The contract was between the Chevrolet motor division of Gen eral Motors and Du Mont Tele vision for a series of 1947 television televi-sion programs which Chevrolet will sponsor. ; . , Two television studios in New York and Washington were connected con-nected by coaxial cable. Du Mont officials signed the contract in New York; Chevrolet In Washington. Wash-ington. Each group viewed twin television screens that reproduced repro-duced the "conference" scenes. Two contracts were signed and photographed. Then the screen images were superimposed, re suiting in one paper bearing sig natures of both parties. NEW YORK. More Americans are committing suicide, now that the war Is over. More people crack un in neacetime. says Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistician of Metsopolitan Life Insurance Co. The suicide rate always goes down In wartime, but rises afterwards. : nnMin'n fleures show that most suicides are city dwellers, and most ;iymen. There usually are u.uuu w i 14,000 suicides a year in the United I States about twice the number oi j homicides. j During World War II, Dr. Dublin I said, the suicide rate declined about ,30 per cent. War brings more jobs, 'more community consciousness and ' a sense of national unity, and people tend to forget theu- personal troubles. trou-bles. This wartime decline occurs In all countries. ' But in peace reconversion cuts jobs, especially for older or handicapped handi-capped persons. Personal problems become or appear greater. There are many readjustments, particularly particular-ly for veterans. More Quickly Now. 1 Disillusionment spread over ihasty marriages, lack of housing, industrial unrest or other problems. After World War I, the suicide rate did not begin to rise until after i 1920. But this time the increase came much more quickly, indicating that the second war has had great- ier and deeper effects on the country. coun-try. So far this year, the suicide rate is about 10 per cent above that of 1945. This figure includes rural areas, where people are less prone to commit suicide, Dublin said. Why da people kill themselves? Suicide is characteristic of the most advanced or individual people, Dr. Dublni explains. It is common among sophisticated city people who seek new thrills, but is rare among farmers and laborers. It is mostly j a phenomenon of cities, wliere the stresses of life are greater. Due to 111 Health. A study in Detroit showed that less than two per cent of attempted or successful suicides there in 1942 and 1943 were attributable to money troubles, and Dublin says this may hold true of the country as a whole. Among men, this survey showed, ill health accounted for 40 per cent of suicide attempts, domestic difficulties diffi-culties for 30 per cent and love affairs af-fairs for only 4 per cent. Among women, domestic troubles were listed as the motive in half of the suicide attempts, ill health in 20 per cent, love affairs in 10 per cent. The Detroit study showed that the highest proportion of successful attempts at-tempts were made because of ill health.

Simply turn the overshoes over-shoes inside out and dunk in a tub ot warm soapy water and let them soak a few minutes. Then with a small, fairly soft brush, scrub over the entire lining.

Selecting Rugs In selecting rugs the question of size Is very Important. If a rug u too small, it contacts the visual tht of the room and tends to crowd the grouping of the furniture. In the average room, the rug should havi not more than a foot of floor mar. gin. Floor coverings of unrelieved solid color tend to disturb color baV ance in a room and for that reason are hard to use in arriving at homey, livable effects. Such mono, tone emphasis on the floor may have an unbalancing result similar to that produced, for example, by 1 breakfront 8 feet long dominate ing the side of a 12-foot room. WSfaamSBEl- TO SEE One of Last Air Thrills Is 'Flying Off Waterfall' NEW YORK. When a plane takes off right over the edge of one of the major falls of the world it startles even an air transport ex pert B. C. H. Cross, in a recent sur vey of colonial services, reports .this routine operation to British Overseas Airways Corp. Maj. Art Williams, managing director di-rector and chief pilot of the air service in British Guiana, provides the thrill regularly, Cross says. "Kaietur falls in British Guiana is one of the major falls of the world, a river pouring into a valley 741 feet below. "Art Williams is the modern Bar-num; Bar-num; he flies his plane off the river straight over the edge of the falls. "In these days of prosaic air transport here remains one of the last flights with a thrilL" Sharp, Cutting Pains? Yes, Razor Blade Is Extracted OMAHA. When Charles H. Maney, 74, complained of "sharp, cutting pains" he wasn't kidding. Physicians, after an x-ray exam ination, agreed that the description was letter perfect, for they found a single-edged razor blade lodged in bis intestines. Maney, retired farmer from South Sioux City, Neb., was mystified. He said be didn't make it a practice to eat razor blades, couldn't even remember nibbling on one. Relieved of the blade, Maney was reported to be recovering. Disabled Veterans Return To Active Duty in Army ; WASHINGTON. - The army placed back on active duty the first of an estimated 5,000 combat veterans veter-ans who will serve although partly disabled by wounds.
