New Approach Revealed
On Deadly Virus Disease
Dr. A. P. Krueger, professor of
bacteriology, now in charge of the
first U. S. Naval Reserve labora
tory in the nation, set up on the
Berkley, Calif., campus, sayp he
has proved that he can control a
virus by regulating the temperature
of its host without harming the lat- j
ter.
Using bacteriophage, the elemen- !
tary virus with which he has worked
for 13 years, Dr. Krueger employed
the substance produced by growing
bacteria to make new strides in con
trol of one of the most baffling prob
lems confronting medical science.
This is announced as the first time
one of the invisible agents, which
cause influenza, smallpox, yellow
fever and infantile paralysis, has
been controlled by heat without the
organism being damaged.
Science knows that viruses can
be killed by heat but it hasn’t known
I that it was possible to save the or
ganism. Dr. Krueger announces his
experiments as purely elementary
at this time. However, it is admit
ted that his experiments may afford
an entirely new approach to the
problem of virus control to supple
ment work already done in check
ing smallpox, rabies and other ills
| with vaccine.
The dread infantile paralysis 1
; virus, baffling scientists with its 1
l multiplicity of strains, may be one
of those to which the heat control
method may be directed.
According to Dr. Krueger’s dis
! closures, bacteria which produce
virus usually commit suicide. As
i the bacteria grow the precursor—a
! substance on which the virus lives—
! increases and more phage is
formed. Once a certain concentra
| tion of phage is reached in each
' bacterium the cell literally explodes.
Battleships Get Names
Through Navy Secretary
How did the new $70,000,000 battle
ship, the North Carolina, get its i
name?
How does any battleship get its 1
name?
They don’t name battleships when
| their keels are laid, or when the
] champagne is dashed across their
bows, or when they are finally com
missioned as fighting vessels of the
United States navy.
But sometime earlier, in the
quietude of the secretary of the
navy’s office in Washington, the
name of one of the nation’s 48 states
becomes that of the unborn dread
nought.
Thus it was with the North Caro
lina, commissioned.
Thus it will be with the other 17
floating fortresses which, added to
15 already standing guard along
America’s two coast lines, form the
; future two-ocean navy.
How does a state receive this
i honor?
j Under authority from the Presi-
I dent, the secretary of the navy
! names the battleship—at some date
! after it is ordered.
Naturally politics plays its role in
this christening. But so do such
i man-made events as the London
| naval treaty when the battleships
South Carolina, Florida, Michigan,
North Dakota and Delaware were
ordered scrapped. As a result,
these five states will be among the
15 unrepresented in the roster of
33 dreadnoughts-of-the-line. Most of
the remainder lost this distinction
during other postwar disarmament
I periods.

Map Makers Having Trouble
So you think the average map
i maker is cleaning up in these days
of war? According to one of the
four globe companies in the United
States they are hardly getting along.
There was a big splurge of map buy
ing right after the war started, but
it died down right away and nothing
has happened since, one official
said. Changing conditions in this
country also necessitate expensive
I changes in map making. A big
i atlas, put out by one company,
with an index that carries 208,000
j items, will have to be corrected due
Ito the census. Fifteen thousand
j miles of abandoned railroads in the
last 10 years must be eliminated
i from the maps.
Newsgatherinr in U. S.
The origin of U. S. newsgathering
began in 1811 in Boston, Mass., by
a young Bostonian, Samuel Topliff,
| who combed incoming schooners, in
■ the harbor, for news of the out
| side world. He recorded it in a
j newsbook at the famed Exchange
j Coffee House where patrons came
[to read. His pioneering effort was
j the foundation of the United Press,
| which eventually developed the
I mechanism called Wirephoto, by
means of which pictures can be sent
across continents within 10 minutes
! after they are taken, to run with
j the story.
Six-Foot Girl Club
Alabama State College for Worn
j en, located in Montevallo, Ala.,
j boasts of one of the most unusual
j all-girl groups ever formed on a col
| lege campus. It is the Hi Kappa
Kappa sorority for tall girls only—
j to all girls who are 68 inches or
1 taller. Sara Christenberry of Sel
ma, Ala., is the president. Mem
j bers must pledge themselves to call
i other girls on the campus who are
t not 68 inches tall “shrimps.” One
subject the girls discuss is how tali
young women may show off their
| beauty to the best advantage.
BARLEY BECOMING POPULAR!
The acreage in barley increas
ed nearlv four times in Georgia j
from 1934 to 1939 according to
the farm census figures. And,
while accurate figures for this
iyear are not available, it is
known that more barley than
lever before is being harvested in
Georgia. , , ,
As a livestock feed, barley is
unexcelled and it has been ex
tensively grown for this purpose
over a large part of the temper
ate zone. It is rapidly growing
in favor among Georgia farmers,
who are finding that very good
yields are obtained according to
reports from many parts of the
state.
Barley compares very closely
with corn for feeding dairy cat
tle and other livestock. In fact,
it can be substituted pound for
pound in any grain mixture
where corn is used. Many prac
tical feeders consider it a little
better balanced feed than corn
when fed alone.
Barley contains slightly more
j protein than corn and not quite
las much carbohydrates, and the
total pounds of digestible feed is
a ton of each are just about the
same. The big advantage in
barley over corn comes in the j
amount which can be grown on
an acre. Lack of enough sum
mer moisture often reduces corn
yields while barley is grown in
the winter and spring months
when usually there is plenty of
moisture. Land which makes 15
bushels of corn on an average
often will make 30 or more bush
els of barley.
Measured in terms of pounds
of grain, pounds of protein or
i pounds of total digestible feed
I per acre, barley excells corn.
'Over a 10-year period in the
Piedmont area of the state, bar
ley produced twice as many
pounds of grain and nearly three
times as many pounds of protein
as corn, according to figures of
the State College of Agriculture.
Barley should be ground or
crushed for dairy cattle and beef
cattle in order to use it most ef
fectively, and a pound of ground
barley can he used to replace a>
pound of crushed corn in any
grain mixture. It is a crop that
fits in well with our growing
livestock industry.

“FOOD FOR DEFENSE”
Nutrition—or Better Diets for
a Stronger People—has become
one of the most important sec
tors of the “Food for Defense”
campaign of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, according
to William H. Jones, Jr., county
supervisor of Houston county for
the Farm Security Administra
tion.
With a Nutrition unit to be or
ganized in every county in the
nation, the Farm Security Ad
ministration is pledged to take
part in the program, and will
work in Houston county in co
operation with other agencies.
Regional staff members of FSA
in the Fifth Region (Alabama,
Georgia, South Carolina and
Florida have outlined the special
part of FSA in the program as
including:
1. To increase the consumption
of “yellow” vegetables by 100
percent.
2. To change old and inherited
food habits.
3. To induce the use of eggs,
milk and vegetables and other
“protective” foods
4 To supplement diets with
Ifo o d s to which farm fami
lies are accustomed but which
are not used with best effects.
5. To work not only for pro
duction but distribution, educa
tion and bridging the gap be
tween low incomes and needs.
6. To link diet necessities with
fundamental needs like longer
tenure of land which will de
velop pastures, soil enrichment
and improvement of living con
jditions generally.
Farm Security families will be
urged to grow wheat for home
use, where practicable, to learn
the use of handmills in some
cases to grind the whole grain
and use it in breads in place of
refined and devitalized white
flour. In most counties of the
region, garden seed has been
bought for the families through
cooperative effort, and new em
phasis will be placed on raising
and canning vegetables. Exten
sion of the school lunch program
also will be sought as a big fac
tor in better nutrition.
Turkish laws are an exact du
plicate of the Swiss laws.
