When examined afterward under an electron microscope, they were found to have been broken up into their component parts and made inactive. Researchers said breaking up of the viruses was a necessary step In studying the causes of such dis eases as poliomyelitis and influ enza, and possibly cancer and the common cold. ' By resolving virus particles into their component parts, scientists can investigate the functions of the various parts and their respec tive roles in virus multiplication: The researchers used a sound generator similar to one used by the U.S. Navy during the war for the detection of enemy subma rines. It produces sound waves vi brating at a frequency of 9000 times per second. f f 'v ; v f i , Jul SAVENOWonJ.C.HIGGIMS l 'mnMl' mt 95 sm, BOYS' AND GIRLS' MODEL REGULAR I4.SO. Nw J- . . .

Dewey and Actor Frank Morgan, Miss Ada Calvy decided it was about time there was a charm school for men. Packaged charm is being sold to the American girl in every city across the nation, she decided, while her male contemporary still remains a bumbling, awkward brute. Not Enough "This new line of so-called masculine perfumes doesn't begin to answer the problem," she sniffed. "Men think it's manly to walk, Oregon's Car Total May Hit 447,000 With one passenger car for every 3.4 persons in the state, Oregon will have approximately 447,000 passenger vehicles registered by the end of 1948, Oregon State Motor Assn. officials estimate. The figure will represent an in crease of more than 10 per cent above the 1947 registration of 405,015 cars. There are no"w 431, 670 cars registered in the state. Estimates for the year's end figure were based on national trends re ported by the American Automo- talk nri smell like a tramp." So Miss Calvy, five-foot-five brunette and northwest director of a well-known women's charm school, is setting up her own ver sion of a charm school "for men only." And the fact that there were so mnw lumhArinMrK fishermen and . . i- u r)gnirin' longsnurcmcii in hic . v...v Northwest had no bearing on Miss Calvy'i decision. Just As Bad "Nonsense!", she said. "In New York they're just as bad. Los Angeles is no better. Only Frank Morgan comes up to snuff. She met the late president and thought he was the "most charm ing man I've ever met." Governor Dewey rates "real nice" in her book. But outside those favored few, she says, the opfnion of the aver age American woman about the average American man is low in deed where charm is concerned. "Most men lack the basic funda mentals of charm." she says. "And yet they're mystified when they fail to Impress a woman with their "clever line. " Let's Be Blunt "To most women, the ear im presses much less than the eye and nose ... if you want the blunt facts." To her student applicants, which already number a long list from fuzzy-cheeked high school stu dents to tongue-tied middle-aged bachelors, she offers a nine-point 'starter ' course that sounds some- bile Assn.

Famed Actress Dies at Age 43 KINGSTON, N.Y. UP) Elissa Landi, Italian-born actress and novelist, died of cancer Thursday at the age of 43. Miss Landi, reportedly the grand-daughter of Empress Eliza beth of Austria, died in Kingston Hospital, where she had been a patient for the past 10 days. Her illness previously had been de scribed by her physician only as a' "chronic condition." Never Knew Dr. Kenneth Lefever, who an nounced the cause of death, said the actress "never knew she had i cancer." Her condition, however, had been known to her family for nine months,' he said. He said that her husband, Cur tis Thomas, who was with her when she died, "had done a won derful job in keeping it from her." Miss Landi was an artist of multiple facets, equally successful as motion picture and stage star, "as a novelist, as a linguist, as a pianist and as a singer.

She was born Dec. 6, 1904, In Venice, Italy, the daughter of Austrian Count and Countess Z?nardi-Landi, She reputedly was the grand daughter of Empress Elizabeth of Austria, but with a reticence rare in actresses she always refused to confirm or dny her. royal ances try.
