Wind Velocity Retards Central Asian Progress Death; In Colonial times ,and the early Nineteenth century, rabies was a dreaded disease, and diphtheria and typhoid were scourges as late as twenty years ago. But medical science has conquered these and a number of other infectious diseases, and we were beginning to think that when we had conquered the common cold and other respiratory diseases, the heart and kidney ailments, rheumatism and, cancer, and upsets of the Intestinal and nervous systems, we should have the human race pretty well on the road to health. And then along came two completely new diseases, infantile paralysis and sleeping sickness. These are diseases ,ef the brain and spinal cord. They are our Twentieth century diseases. So far (hey have us completely baffled. For all the work we have done on ithem, we still know very little concerning them. Infantile paralysis made its appearance in the nineties of the last century iand became epidemic after 1900. Sleep-lin- g sickness was first observed in the jpost-wa- r period. It followed the influenza wave of 1918 and 1919. Then Icame a new type of sleeping sickness, encephalitis, not nearly so fatal nor so disabling as the other type. made its first appearance In this country In Paris, HI., in the summer of 1932, then In St. Louis and western Illinois In 1933, and again in Illinois In the summer of 1934. The first thing a scientist does in studying a new disease Is to learn what animal is susceptible to that disease, and then to determine whether the disease is caused by germs that can be seen with a microscope or by germs so small that no micro(Infinitesimally scope yet made is powerfal enough to reveal them this second type of germ is called a virus. Medical laboratories throughout the country have been trying to inoculate all kinds of animals with Infantile paralysis and sleeping y sickness, but so far it is only the that has proved susceptible. And since monkeys are expensive animals, jthere are only a few research centers that have the funds to carry on this 'experimentation. The scientists working on these two 'new diseases have been able to deter-- ! mine that they are caused by two invisible viruses, but more than that we 'dont know. We also believe that the common cold and influenza, and small-ipochickenpox, measles and mumps are caused by viruses, but whether 'there is any family connection between all these virus diseases, we 'havent yet determined, Bacteriologists are now beginning to (speak of virus flora. They think that Jthe people of various sections of the jworld and of a country have a virus 'flora in their noses and throats that jls as different from the virus flora in another section of the world as the :"plant flora of one section is different from the plant life of another section. ' mon-jke- x, i Now we each get used to our own particular virus flora, and when we are well we are quite happy with jft, It is when we have a breakdown in 'health that our own virus flora can give us trouble. Also we get used to living with the virus flora of our neighbors when they are welL It is when they are sick that jwe are liable to get too much of their cold virus or their measles virus for our own good. During the World war several millions of young and adult men were collected from the four corners of the earth and transported to western Europe. Here they lived In Intimate with each other In crowded quarters; they were subjected to extreme and grueling mental , and physical Strain. There could not help but be an exchange of individual virus flora by coughing, sneezing, handshaking, etc. Nothing like such an exchange had ever happened In the history of the world before. The universal Influenza wave of 1918 and 1919 was a result of this kaletdiscoplc mixing. One good thing about the Twentieth century diseases is that they do not seem to be contagious in the same sense as diphtheria, scarlet fever and d typhoid fever. There la seldom a case In the same household. , This Fan rag rug has attracted a lot of attention and to our knowledge quite a few home rug makers have made one or more like it It must be seen to be appreciated. Made up In brilliant colors, the panels in alternating light and dark shades and the center of dark green and red, this rug is bound to catch the attention of anyone upon entering the room. This model measures 58 Inches across anc 30 inches deep, and requires about four pounds of material to crochet The ten panels A recent typhoon that killed 1,500 people and ravaged 400 miles of country near Tokyo was one of only 120 m. p. h., yet it was sufficient to blow down all but concrete structures like packs of cards. Recent experiments in measuring wind force have proved that the greatest recorded velocity was at Mount Washington, in Vermont. Here the wind blew at 231 m. p. h. It was so cold that the measuring Instrument which recorded the speed had to be electrically heated to prevent it freezing solid. Nevertheless, scientists believe that winds of a greater force blow across the wastes of central Asia. Rocks in this region are worn away in a few centuries, and in the past vast towns have been buried deep in sand within a few hours. The wind, in fact, is so devastating that, although the Eg Tfunno country has been populated on and off for thousands of years, little or no progress has been made.
