Sacred Image of
Pueblos Unearthed
Chicago (Science Service)
A rare sacred image of key
importance in the Pueblo In
dians' religious ceremonies in
Arizona between 1250 and
1350 A.D. has been discov
ered. The diety-image, in a
pose like that of a dog beg
ging for a bone, is the first
of Hp kind to be unearthed.
Although it has remained
buried for six or seven cen
turies, the image may be re
lated to underworld ceremo
nies that are still part of the
religion of . today's Hopi In
dians. Nine inches high, carved In
sandstone and painted black,
orange, green and blue, the
image was found in a secret
crypt by Dr. Paul S. Martin,
chief curator of anthropology
at the Chicago Natural His
tory Museum here. The crypt
was at a site near Vernon,

SECTION D MEDFORD,
Drivers Reminded
Of Safe Speeds
Chief of Police Charles
Champlin today reminded
Medford drivers that posted
speeds are safe speeds only
under favorable conditions.
"Regardless of posted
speeds, the driver must al
ways adjust his speed to the
existing conditions of the
road, weather, traffic, and the
driver's own vehicle," he said.
"The driver must also take
tinto account his own physi
cal condition and his experi
ence in high-speed driving in
selecting his maximum safe
driving speed," Champlin
continued.
Drivers who drive mainly
in city traffic may be incapa
ble of safely handling vehicles
at open-road speeds because
they are simply not familiar
with the rapidity with which
traffic conditions change at
high speed, he noted.
"Such drivers are smart if
they hold their speed down
to their own capabilities," the
chief concluded.

Physicians Seeking
Material To Combat
Sting of Insects
Editor's note: Each summer there
ire reports of deaths from insect
stings. Two physicians believe there
are still other insect-caused deaths,
some diagnosed as heart atUrks.
They are experimenting with shots
for insect-sensitive persons.
By FA YE MARLEY
Washington - (Science Serv-.
ice) - Two women physicians
regularly grind up insects'
venom sacs in an unusual
search tor better materials to
protect sensitive persons from
serious illness or death from
insect stings.
Commercially avail able
shots, utilizing whole insects
ground into a preparation,
have been only partially suc
cessful. But under grants from the
National Institute of Health
and other groups, the two
women are doing a unique
job of immunizing against
insects.
Specimens Collected
Here, Dr. Halla Brown, as
sociate professor of clinical
medicine and chief of the sec
tion on allergy at George
Washington university, goes
out every fall to collect speci
mens to grind up for use the
following season.
Her former colleague, Dr.
Mary H. Loveless, associate
professor of clinical medicine
at Cornell University Medi
cal College in New York, con
tinues to work on a more or
less experimental basis.
In an interview, Dr. Love
less said she attributes some
firemen's deaths to their al
lergies. They may be stung
by wasps whose nests they
disturb under the eaves of
houses or in attics. Because
insect bites are hard to see,
such deaths are sometimes at
tributed to heart attacks.
Allergy Level Determined
"I always give tests to my
patients to determine ..the
level of their allergy," Dr.
Loveless said. "Most of the
treatments I give require
about two and a half hours.
I usually begin with one-tenth
of a sac of venom and during
the treatment period, I In
crease the shots at half-hour
periods until the final shot is
usually made up of two full
venom sacs."
Both Drs. Brown and Love
less encounter patients who
are rendered unconscious
within 20 minutes after being
stung by some type of insect
to which they are allergic.
Some die within a few sec
onds. But if they survive,
'Lift Fan' System
Seen for Airplanes
Washington -(Science Serv
ice) - A large commercial
transport that can take off
and land vertically is fore
seen by engineers who an
nounced a new "lift fan" pro
pulsion system here.
The plane, which would
need no runway, could pick
up passengers in the center of
a city for short trips to near
by cities. The engineers say
the plane could be developed
by 1970.
It would use a turbojet en
gine. The engine's thrust
would be diverted to the "lift
fan" for take-off and landing.
The exhaust gases would turn
the fan, which would in turn
produce vertical thrust. The
system was shown by General
Electric' Flight Propulsion
Laboratory Department at the
annual meeting of the Asso
ciation of the United States
Army here.

The yellow jacket is the

This is the type commonly

Works With Pollens
Since 1947 Dr. Loveless has
been working not only with
insect venoms but with pol
lens to immunize against hay
fever. (Dr. Brown also has
worked with pollens.)
Pollen extract is emulsified
in mineral oil and stabilized
with materials that retard the
release of watery allergen in
to the body from muscle or
other areas. This slowed re
lease permits Injection of 10
to 20 times more allergen
than otherwise could be toler
ated. The same technique also
permitted Dr. Loveless for the
first time this year to inocu
late patients with a full dose
of six venom sacs at one time
without harmful results.
