(International) Scientists Make No Assertions On Virus of Hodgkins1 Disease BY DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Discovers of new viruses rarely can pro duce pictures or any other evid ence you can hold in your hands. So. Drs. Warren L. Bostick and Lavell Hanna are at pains to make no flat assertions in re vealing their capture of a virus which seems new and also seems to have a hand in mysterious, incurable, and always fatal Hodgkins disease. The evidence was impressive enough to cause a well-known medical specialist consulted by the writer to study it and then pronounce it the most hopeful "avenue" for the eventual con quest of an incurable disease he had ever seen. But if there is a "cure" at the end of the "avenue," it will take a long time to reach it. Hodgkins disease causes an unstoppable and progressive en largement of the nodes of the body s lymphatic system. It is cancer-like and some authorities consider it a form of cancer. But it has always suggested, too, the sickening processes of an "infactive agent," that is, a bac terium or a virus. Unusual Chemical Properties Science knows definitely that the "infectious agent" if there is one cannot be bacteria. That leaves the possibility of a virus, but if a virus, it would have to be one which is invisible under 1 v SkS I.

As We Live Young Man's Conceit Makes Him Poor Risk For Mate A person who is conceited, self - centered and demanding does not make a good friend and certainly is not a good potential husband. (Q) "For the last two years of high school. I went steady with a boy who was one of the out- s-w--sr- standing a t h- fee Dr. Hslock letes of the school, held many class of fices and was very popular with both boys and girls. Now he is at the stale univer sity and is making quite a name for himself. "I did not go to college but have a job as my family needs my financial help. I still go steady with this boy when he is at home and I go to the univer sity for many of the social activi ties. "I find that his success is going to his head and he is getting very conceited. He has started to be rather critical of me, perhaps be cause I did not go on to college, and is very demanding. If he wants something, he expects me to drop what I am doing and come when he whistles. love him very much but I often get upset by the way he has been acting lately. Should I con tinue to go steady with him or break off? We have often talked about marriage when he finishes college but I am beginning io wonder if we would be happy. What is your opinion?" R.G. (A) As things now stand, I question very much whether this boy will make you happy in even the most powerful micro scope and also one possessed of unusual chemical properities. There is not the slightest evid ence of Hodgkins' disease ever having been transmitted from one human being to another. At the University of California School of Medicine in San Fran cisco, Drs. Bostick and Hanna took lymph nodes from patients vith the disease, ground them up, injected the material into fertile chicken eggs. After a few days, they took material from those eggs and injected it into more eggs. This they did as many as ten times, because chick embryos nurture viruses and presumably viruses are multiplied by this "serial pas sage." New-Born Mice From the last eggs in the series, they took material and injected it into the brains of new born mice. After allowing for more virus-incubation, they ground up the brains and in jected the material in the brains of more new-born mice. After repeating this through five to seven sets of mice, the material developed the power to sicken and kill mice. Keep in mind that the egg embryos and the mouse brains showed no detectable sign of harboring virus until the last mouse - brains developed the power to kill. Also keep in mind that the scientists repeated the whole procedure with lymph node material taken from heal thy human beings, and failed to produce disease. Also they took every precau tion to eliminate the possibility of "picking up" some latent virus of mice. So it seemed clear they had a new virus which causes in mice a fatal disease with some resemblance to Hodg kins' disease. But whether it is the "causative agent" of Hodg kins' disease in human being remains to be proven and it is going to be difficult to do, they said in the technical journal, "Cancer Research." By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. the future. If that is true, then you will do well to see other boys and not limit yourself to him. I'm sure he has dates with other girls while he is away at college and you should have dates with other young men. This boy's school success has gone to his head and has affected his whole concept of himself. If he has four years of success in college, on top of his high school successes, he may be so utterly spoiled by it that he would be impossible to live with. He, ob-1 viously, is one of the people who cannot take success without having it go to his head. Then, too, you must take into consideration the possibility that he will feel superior to you be cause he has gone to college and you have not. This may be par tially back of his critical attitude and demanding way. Certainly you do not want to spend the rest of your life with a man who regards you as his inferior.

Don't letitallsffp. through your fingers!, A message of importance for you IF you're an average American, chances are that even with the present cost of living, you're making more money than you ever did before in your life. That's wonderful. But if you're wise, you'll handle that in come with care ! Treasury Secretary Humphrey said (on June 24, 1955), "We believe at this time of great prosperity that all. of us Government, business, and individuals alike should exercise self-restraint in the use of public and private credit and the ac cumulation of debt." It's easy and human to get "money-happy" when there's plenty coming in. To spend just a little more freely than you should, to get just a little more deeply in debt than is prudent. Actually, now is an ideal opportunity to save! Now, while your real income is high, you can lay the foundation of your security through sensible saving and wise investment. As little as $18.75 a month invested in U. S. Savings Bonds, will give you a cash backlog of $1,182.60 in just 5 years. If you ' can, and will, save as much as $75.00 a month, for 19 years and 8 months, you will have a total, including interest, of. $31,784.00. Which gives you a guaranteed monthly income of $134.68 for 19 years and 8 months more. Your savings are safe in Savings Bonds. Your principal is secure against market fluctuations., And you're guaranteed an average interest of 3 per year, compounded semiannually, when Bonds are held to maturity. You can invest in Bonds easily where you bank or through the Payroll Savings Plan where you work. But start nowl Every day you wait costs you money you can never get back! Now is the time to buy wisely, save sensibly, and invest safely in U. S. Savings Bonds! Tht V. S. Government does not pay for this advertising.
