How One Woman Lost 20bs of Fat Lost Her Prominent These ancients of Ecuador made platinum Jewelry. ApparenUy. they were the only ones to use this metal ornamentally until recent times. They made rings and tools of it. but mostly they plated gold with It to form dangling, shiny platelets, to catch the light. The extraordinary point, though, Is that they could blend the soft platinum with other metal to make a harder alloy. It took our civlliza tion about a century to master that problem. We force the platinum to melt by Intense heat, only possible with modern technical appli ances. Alloy of Platinum and Gold. That Indians actually achieved a platinum alloy was discovered by Dr. Paul Bergsoe, vice president of the Danish Association for Metal lurgical Research. He found a clue d in some work, aban doned over 400 years ago. He declares It compels modern science to have new respect for Indian met allurgy. The Indian method was to mix platinum grains with gold dust and heat it until the gold ran and plated Then they the platinum grains. heated it further by blowpipe until gold and platinum mingled enough to form a pasty mass that could be hammered when hot. So, by alternately forging and heating they contrived an alloy not up to modern ones, but good enough for modern metallurgists to think it was pure platinum. Chemical analysis re vealed the artificial blend. The Indians apparently took their secret to the grave. Had treasure-huntin-g Spaniards observed the technique, says Dr. Bergsoe, the story of platinum in Europe might have taken a different turn. half-finishe- You can pay as high as yon want for remedies claimed to relieve the pain of Rheumatism, Neuritis, Sciatica, etc. But the medicine so many doctors generally approve the one used by thousands of families daily is Bayer Aspirin about. 15 a dozen tablets I New York.

A new disease, which may have affected as many as one out of every five adults in the country without their knowing what they had, came in for discussion at the meeting of the American Pub lic Health association here. The disease has the As compared with modern times, the low incidence of caries is very striking. The Silesian skulls show only 0.7 per cent of children's teeth with cavities, as against 82 per cent of carious teeth in modern children. "For adults, the figures are 1.78 and 92 per cent, respectively. In size and condition of wisdom teeth, however, moderns have a decided advantage of their Neolithic predecessors. Professor Euler's research disclosed. Of the skulls from the ancient Silesian graves, 26.8 per cent had no wisdom teeth at all, whereas a check-u- p on German university students showed suppression of wisdom teeth in only 1.3 per cent. In general, wisdom teeth and other molars are larger and solider In moderns than in the Neolithic in. WW V g name lymphocytic choriomeningitis. It Is caused by virus. In about half the cases it causes fever and symptoms similar to influenza. In the other half it affects the membranes that cover the brain and causes more severe symptoms, such as bad headaches, stiff neck, nausea and vomiting and even slight, temporary paralysis. So far, no death has been reported in a proved case of this disease. It Is difficult or impossible to distinguish this new disease by clinical means alone from another brain inflammation, acute aseptic meningitis. Drs. R. D. Baird and Thomas M. Rivers of the hospital of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research pointed out Its Virus Is Isolated. The disease was discovered and its virus isolated by Drs. Charles Armstrong and R. D. Lillie of the United States National Institute of Health. They found the virus while studying viruses from St. Louis encephalitis epidemic patients in 1934. Two years before this Commander Paul F. Dickens of the United States Navy medical corps had reported two cases of what looked like acute aseptic meningitis but which he thought might be another disease caused by a virus. Since then the virus has been recovered from patients and from monkeys, mice and other animals in this country, England and France. Diagnosis of the disease, say Dr. Armstrong, Drs. Baird and Rivers and others who have studied it, depends on, examination of the spinal fluid and on a mouse protection test This consists in mixing the patient's serum with the virus and Injecting it into mice. If the patient had the disease, his blood would have antibodies in it that neutralize the virus. In that case the mouse would remain well-Bu- t if the mouse gets sick, it shows that the patient's blood had no and antibodies, therefore that he did not have lymphocytic choriomeningitis. Dr. Armstrong and associates made this test on blood from nearly 2,000 well persons who were having routine blood tests for other reasons. They found that among the adults, almost 20 per cent had neutralizing antibodies in their blood, although none of them recalled being sick with symptoms of any brain or nerve disease. The reason it has been missed in these patients is probably because when it does not affect the brain it behaves so much like influenza that it would be diagnosed as such. colors, proved undoing of most previous artificial lights. Dr. Thomas J. Killian de clared. Previous attempts to use carbon dioxide in lamps, a goal because of its white spectrum, have failed because of the tendency of the gas to break down under the electric charge sent through It' with consequent changes in its pressure and behavior. A simple electronic control for the pressure is the new feature of the light. f red-bed- The Law's Injustice.

Secretary Perkins might possibly have a contrary view on this point. Because they do say there are moments in the cabinet when all is not sweetness and accord. However, the point is that Uncle Sam's piscatorial sharps, dredged up a fish that is most delectable for six months of the year, but poisonous the other six months. So at least they've found a creature emblematic of the California climate.
