Nev. Air Tunnel
Tests Missiles
At High Speeds
Buffalo, N. Y. - (Science
Service) Missile and aircraft
models may be tested at air
speeds up to 14,000 miles per
hour in a new hypersonic
6hock tunnel now in operation
here.
Hypersonic speeds are those
five times faster than sound
or greater. During test runs
in the new tunnel, a missile
or airplane model can be sub
jected to airflow velocities
ranging from 6 to 16 times
the speed of sound.
Hypersonic Airflow
Built here by Cornell Aero
nautical Laboratory, Inc., the
tunnel's outstanding feature
is its ability to maintain such
hypersonic airflow at constant
speed for sufficient time to
permit precise aerodynamic
measurements of model per
formance. A hypersonic shock tunnel
basically consists of a shock
tube connected with a nozzle
and test section. During ope
ration, the shock tube pro
duces a supply of high-temperature,
high-pressure air
that is accelerated to hyper
sonic speeds when it flows
through the nozzle into the
test section. The model being
studied is mounted in the test
section.
Resembles Cannon
The tunnel resembles an ex
tremely long cannon, about
equal to one-third the length
of a football field. Its shock
tube measures 90 feet in
length, and is about one foot
in diameter. The nozzle and
test section extend some 20
feet beyond the shock tube.
Ohio Law Helps
Cleveland Attorney
Columbus, O. It's against
Ohio law to delay a lawyer
who is on his way to court,
and costs the offender $100.
A Cleveland attorney was
speeding along the highway
recently on his way to a hear
ing in Columbus, when he was
stopped by a policeman.
He told the officer about
the law and was sent on his
way with an apology.

Sudden Death in Infants and
Small Children
There are few tragedies so
distressing to parents as the
sudden death of an infant -
esp e c i a 1 1 y
when the
mother gets to
wondering if
possibly, dur
ing the night,
the child
could have
been smother
ed by her hav
ing rolled ov-
ir. ai.varez er on ni m.
Such thoughts are devastating
to the unhappy mothers who
continue to blame themselves
for the rest of their days. In
recent years many studies by
pathologists who have exam
ined the little body shortly
after death have shown that
usually the mother's self-accusations
were quite unjusti
fied. In many cases the child
had a very acute pneuemonia,
a very acute meningitis or an
acute inflammation of the in
ner lining of the heart which
killed over night. In a recent
article, Dr. Louis Goodman of
Pittsburgh reported that in
84 per cent of a series of 19
infants and children who had
died suddenly, autopsy show
ed a peculiar condition inside
the heart, which he felt could
explain the death of the child.
It is called Endomyocardial
Fibroelastosis.
Trichomonas Vaginitis
Because vaginitis, or inflam
mation of the vagina, due to
a tiny single-celled organism
called a trichomonas is one of
the commonest causes of leu
corrhea, many women ask
what can be done for it. Many
say that they have been to
gynecologists, but have not
gotten permanent relief. Often
I fear the reason why the
woman did not get well or
stay well with treatment was
that the doctor did not take
enough time to explain that
she might be getting re-infected
from her husband. The
husband might have to be
well treated at the same time
that she was being treated.
As Dr. Edward G. Maeder
of Minneapolis, recently said,
in many cases the best treat
ment for the woman would be
the circumcision of her hus
band. Failing that, he -might
wash himself thoroughly with
soap every morning. Treat
ment of the man would be
more difficult if the little
organism had gotten to living
in his prostate gland. I have
seen cases in which it was
very hard to cure the woman
of her vaginitis because the
little organism had gotten up
into her bladder and was liv
ing there. Obviously, it was
useless to clear it out of her
vagina without, at the same
time, clearing it out of her
bladder. In some cases it may
perhaps get into the glands in
the neck of the womb or
around the outlet of the vagi
na. Fortunately, in the cases of
many women, the little or
ganism does not cause much
distress. Perhaps eventually
it dies out, or it dies out after
a little treatment. It is only
in some cases that the disease
becomes a curse which is hard
to get rid of, and makes the
woman very miserable. Some
times her vagina becomes so
sensitive that she cannot
stand intercourse.
I cannot, in this column,
give any instruction for treat
ment, or recommend any of
the several drugs that are
commonly used today, because
obviously different women
have to be treated differently.
What is needed- is treatment
by a physician who will take
the time to face and tackle
the several difficulties that
may lie in the way of working
a complete curse. He must
early face the possibility that
her trouble is not that he does
not cure her, but that every
so often she gets re-infected.

Insurance
;New York - (Science Serv
ice) - The number of Ameri
cans who subscribe to hospi
tal insurance has almost dou
bled in the past 10 years. '
Health Insurance institute
figures show that at the be
ginning of 1950, some 66 mil
lion persons were covered by
this insurance. The number
grew to 123 million by the
close of 1958. A preliminary
sampling indicates that the
1959 year-end coverage fig
ures, when final, will exceed
125 million.
Progress in 50s
-Progress during the 50s also
marked the other major types
of"health insurance surgical
expense insurance, regular
medical insurance, loss of in
come, and major medical ex
pense insurance.
'From the beginning of 1950
to-, the end of 1958, the num
ber of persons with surgical
insurance rose from 41 mil
lion to 111 million while the
climb was from 17 million to
75 'million in regular medical
insurance, which pays for doc
tor visits for non-surgical
care.
Number Rises
yln little more than 10 years,
tfe number of subscribers to
major medical insurance rose
tofc-17 million. This insurance
provides benefits from 85,000
t6n$15,000 to help absorb the
cost of serious illness.
'Senior citizens are getting a
break in the form of various
m'ethods by which insurance
companies can provide protec
tion for those more than 65
years old.
