Few Practicing Physicians Said
Capable of Diagnosing Smallpox
BY DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York f Medical sci
ence is becomiiig uncomfortab
ly aware of an ominous and pos
sibly dangerous situation. Few
physicians practicing today have
never seen a case of smallpox,
and even tliat small number is
constantly riiminishuig.
That is reassuring proof of
one of the great triumphs of
medical science, of course.
Smallpox, the virulent, highly
contagious killer, has all but dis
appeared from the United States.
But it hasn't entirely disap
peared and that is what makes
an ominous situation.
Would the average physician
recogjiize a case of smallpox
shoud he encounter one? Would
the possibility that it was a case
of smallpox leap instantly into
his mind? There have been a
few scattered instances over re
cent years when the diagnosis
was fumbled and delayed.
May Miss Diagnosis

Are you a sufferer from that
hishly irritating affliction
called 'hay fever"? Where do
you go to seek relief during the
hay fever season? The Hay
Fever Prevention Society of New
York City publishes a pamphlet
which lists a number of rag
weed free areas where relief
from the ailment can be ob
tained. It also published a pam
phlet titled "Hay Fever Relief
llints." And another dealing
with a ' Honey and Lemon Hay
Fever Diet " Incidentally, there
are over 400.000 sufferers from
hay fever living in New York
City.

Cards
"According to Hoyle" is an ex
pression still much used by card
players in discussing rules of
the games. Hoyle, who died in
1769, wrote about only three
card games: piquet, whist and
quadrille. The book titled "The
Complete Cardplayer" by Al
bert Ostrow deals with over 350
different card games. It is said
there are about 85 million card
players in this country. My fa
vorite card game is auction pi

Eugene Christian, author of
"How To Live To Be A Hundred
Years Old" died at the age of 69.
Eugene Brewer, the inventor of
the lawnmower, lived to be over
a hundred years old. He attrib
uted his longevity to the exer
cise he had mowing lawns. Show
this to your husband, lady, when
he starts to complain about hav
ing to mow the lawn.
Sidelights
New Yorker informs me he
became a father for the first
time at the age of 54. That is un
usual but not the record. The
distinguished author Dale Car
negie became a father for the
first time at the age of 64. . . The
old maid character continues to
be popular on television pro
grams. This is because humor
concerning old maids gives mar
ried women a feeling of super
iority. Fish .
Reference to the Biblical tale
of Jonah and the whale frequent
ly inspires an argument as to
whether any fish can swallow
a man. A white shark can. In
fact, a white shark can swallow
a horse or a bullock. A sperm
whale can also swallow a man.
It has been claimed that a sperm
whale actually did swallow an
English sailor named James
Bartley, who was subsequently
rescued and lived to tell the tale.
Greatest Hitter
What ballplayer rates being
i styled "the greatest hitter of all
! time"? You say "Babe" Ruth. I
don't agree. In my rating the
"Babe" is third. Ty Cobb is first.
Hans Wagner second. Speaking
! of Ruth as a hitter his average
j in batting against his nemesis
I "Hub' Prui'.t was .186. That's
. really weak hitting. A pitcher
would be ashamed of that av
erage. In one season the "Babe"
batted against Pruitt 18 times
and struck out 16 times!
Complaint
Women are stll complaining
that while married and single
women can be distinguished by
the vse of "Miss" or "Mrs." there
is no similar method of distinc
tion for the male sex. I have no
solution for this problem. Per
haps a man should be called
"Master" until he is married
and 'Mr." alter he has become
somebody's husband. However,
how about those married career
women who continue to use the
"Miss"? Just what is the idea of
that? Then take the females who
do use the 'Mrs." How can you
tell whether a "Mrs." is married,
is a widow, or is a divorcee?
age physician might well miss
the diagnosis long enough for
a community to be endangered.
Once present, smallpox can
spread rapidly; and there are
thousands who think they are
immune because they were vac
cinated as children, but who are
not immune. Their vaccinations
have worn off.
Drs. Kenneth D. Rogers and
Arthur M. Harmuth of the School
of Public Health, University of
Pittsburgh, are alerting the aver
age practicing physician to this
situation through the technical
journal of the American Acad
emy of General Practices. They
cited the following example:
A 14-year-old girl came down
with pox. Two days later a
physician was called in and said
it was chicUenpox. The child's
condition grew pro jr essively
worse, and five days later she
was taken to a communicable dis
ease hospital. The diagnosis still
was chickenpox.
But it wasn't chickenpox
which either looked or behaved
in the usual way of chickenpox.
A number of doctors were called
in. They all thought it was chick
enpox. Y'et not one of them could
say positively that it wasn't
smallpox.
Child Dies
The child died during her sec
ond hospital day. An autopsy
proved that she was a victim of
an unusual and complicated case
of chickenpox. If it had been
smallpox, she would have been
a source of readily transmittable
germs for nine days.
But that is not all of the story.
The instant smallpox was sus
pected all employees and pat
ients in the hospital were vac
cinated 40 in all. Four young
children among them had never
been vaccinated before. The re
maining 36 had been, and sup
posedly were immune. But vac
innation reactions showed that
actually only two were.
The doctors urged their col
leagues everywhere to keep text
books available which describe
minutely the appearance of small
pox; to impose strict quarantine
on any suspected case; to get a
precise diagnosis with all pos
sible speed: and to notify publio
health authorities instantly so
they can organize to vaccinate
all persons with whom the sus
pected case had been in contact.

Television Now Employs Young
Girl, Who Has Own Network Show
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York TP Well, it's fi
nally come down to this. TV is
not only aiming its wares at the
12-year-old mind, it s now em
ploying the 12-year-old mind.
Prime exhibit is Susan Hein
kel, who at the mellow age of
12, stars in her own network TV
siiow each Saturday which is
more than you can say for Sid
Caesar or Jackie Gleason.
Not only that, Susie ad libs
her entire show, which is also
more than you can say for Sid
Caesar or Jackie Gleason.
Susie, brown-eyed, poised and
bonnie, actually steers six TV
shows each week. Five of them
are Monday through Friday local
shots in Chicago. The sixth,
launched by CBS-TV about two
months ago. is a half-hour affair
geared for the yo-yo set.

seemed a
stroke of good
fortune. Mas

Aline Mosby
Edwards happily announced that
a New York night club job, a
TV series, a beautiful bracelet
these were to be hers.
But since then what has hap
pened to Mae would make an
other weepy "This Is Y'our Life"
program. She was hit by the
prize show "Jinx" not a super
stition, but a disrupting of her
normal life that often hits ex
cited winners of fame and for
tune on television.
Her "prize" of a singing job
at Monte Proser's La Vie club
in New Y'ork never came about.
La Vie Closed
"Ralph Edwards did his part,
but my manager and I couldn't
agree," explained Mae. "I be
lieve he asked too much money,
and we never got together on a
deal and then La Vie closed, so
that took care of that!
"I was offered singing jobs
all over the country. But my
manager kept asking more
money because of the This Is
Your Life' show so I never
got any of the jobs.
"We shot two episodes of my
filmed TV series, and then that
bogged down and never was fin
ished or sold."
After a blow-up, Mae and her
manager parted company.
"I couldn't get a job for $4
a day," she said.
Mae, known as the "hard
luck" singer, had to hock the
gold bracelet Edwards gave her
on the show (she since retrieved
it from the pawn shop). She had
to sell her house.
The beautiful new car that
was to have been one of her TV
prizes never came through.
Viewers, she says, objected to
celebrities receiving the cars,
so the practice was stopped with
her.
She opened a little nightclub
here but had to close when the
rent was doubled. Her father
also had a stroke.
Life Improves
"Then I won a job in Bakers
field, Calif., and my life began
to go up," she smiled
She met nightclub comic Vic
Perry. After one date he pro
posed to her in the middle of his
floor show, and one date later
they were married last Novem
ber. Vic got Mae a record contract
at Verve. With the movie pro
jector she won on "This Is Y'our
Life," he showed the pilot film
of her TV series and it finally
opened on a local station to
good review two weeks ago.
.. "The first call after my show
was from Ralph Edwards," she
beamed. "He also sent me
roses."
"Now that my life has settled
down, all the fiice things he
prophesied would happen to me
are finally happening."

er." said Susie with enthusiasm.
"In fact, one of the fellows
said you had to take a sanity
test to get on the show if you
failed, you were hired."
"Susan's Show." the title of
her network show, is a comfort
able potpourri of sense and non
sense. There is a talking table
named "Pegasus" and an or
chestra led by Caesar P. Pen
guin. The instrumentalists in
clude such whimsical bric-a-brack
as Calvin the Fox (clari
net), Bruce the Gopher (drum
mer) and Wolfgang the Bear
(violin).
There is a real dog named
"Rusty" and there is Susie who
herds this curious crew through
the by-ways of a thin plot each
week.
Works Without Script
"We don't have any script."
said Susie, "and most of the
time we have no idea of what
weore going to say. We have a
kind of story given to us before
the show and we run through it
once before we go on.
"It's not corny," said Susie
primly. "It's not one of those
things where you talk baby talk
to kids. I know that's not the
way I'd like someone to talk to
me. No kid likes a show that's
too mushy you know, one of
those shows where all they do
is build blocks like 'Ding Dong
School'."
Susie, who'll be CBS property
until she's 18. receives S2 allow
ance each week and the rest of
her salary goes into a trust fund.
"TV? I like it. And I watch
it. But not too much. I like
funny shows and stuff. To me,
TV is a kind of pastime when
you have nothing else to do on
a rainy day."
