A Twisted Spina
One of the terrible problems
facing many parents is that of
the child, usually a girl, who
yf" lift f n r reasons
tf I n o v e 1
J 4i I known starts
I - -Ai I to get a badly
twisted back.
Often it looks
as if the mus
cles o n one
side were pull
ing the spine
over. The
ah res Question then
arises, "What can be done?"
Often, we physicians have
done nothing, because we
knew that even a big opera
tion might not straighten up
the girl and make her happy.
I was just reading an ar
ticle by Drs. J. William Field
ing and Theodore Waugh of
the New York Orthopedic
Hospital which says that some
surgeons put these girls first
into a plaster cast, and later
operate to fuse several verte
bras. Such fusing can serve
to keep at least a part of the
spine from getting more and
more curved. Some surgeons
use a special brace, and later
they fuse the vertcgras; some,
like Drs. Fielding and Waugh,
believe in first fusing some
vertebras and then putting the
child's chest into a plaster
cast,
In some cases, the spine Is
fused with the help of two
strips of bone taken from une
of the bones in the leg. in
other cases, the necessary
bone is obtained from a "bone
bank." When the plaster cast
is applied, it is kept on usually
for nine months. After three
months in bed, the child is al
lowed to get up and move
around. Usually from four to
eight vertebras are fused, and
in most cases the work is done
in two stages. An operation is
deemed advisable if the spinal
curve measures over 35 per
cent by the Ferguson method.
The two surgeons are frank
in saying that the results have
not always been satisfactory.
The average maximum correc
tion was 45 per cent of the
curve as it existed when the
child was first seen. Even af
ter the operation, in some
cases the child's spine kept
caving in. Because of this the
surgeons say that the "main.
tained correction" was 30 per
cent of the curve as it was
measured before the opera'
tions. Two other groups of or
thopedists who have tried to
keep twisted spines from curv
ing further have reported sim
ilarly only partial results.
Psoriasis
I was just reading the re-
suits of a statistical study of
392 patients with psoriasis.
made by three teachers at
Stanford Medical school, head
ed by Dr. Eugene M. Farber.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin
disease that attacks many per
sons; It causes red patches to
appear on parts of the body
patches which are covered
with tiny white scales. With
treatment, perhaps with an
ointment plus some radiation
perhaps ultra-violet the
patches can usually be cleared
up, but there is a tendency for
some of them to come back.
Often a skin specialist has to
try a number of treatments on
an individual before he finds
one that will work well. And
later, when the patient comes
back, he may have to find still
another remedy.
It looks as if heredity must
play a role in producing the
trouble, but the disease can
either skip generations or it
may produce in some persons
an illness different from the
one here described. Dr. Far
ber found one family In which
in each of four generations
there were two or more per
sons with psoriasis. He point'
cd out that in some ways
psoriasis resembles diabetes
they both can be made worse
by nervous stress, by treat'
mcnt with corticosteroids, by
bacterial infection, by drink'
tag alcoholic liquors and by
gaining weight.
Of the 392 patients studied,
67.6 per cent first noted the
coming of the skin disease be
tween the ages of 10 and 40
years. There were, however,
some patients who did not get
the red spots until they were
past 70.
I think it hopeful that chem
ists are now alalyzing the un
involved skin and the diseased
skin and are finding abnor
malities in the red patches.
Out of these studies may come
a hint as to what went wrong
and how it can be corrected.
Everybody has theories on
treating ulcers. In his booklet,
"Ulcers of the Stomach and
Duodenum," Dr. Alvarez
gives his professional advice
on the treatment of ulcers In
general. You may obtain a
copy of the booklet by sending
25 cents and a 5-cent stamped,
self-addressed envelope with
your request to Dr. Walter C.

(Register and Tribune
Syndicate, 193)
Just what happened before
the advent of the flint and
steel or the sharply pointed,
rotated stick is pure guess
work. But in all the conjec
ture surrounding man's first
discovery of fire, one fact
alone stands out as certain: he
didn't discover it by smoking
in bed, thereby igniting the
bearskins.
How he really did discover
fire is even more uncertain
than is the modern dictionary
maker when he tries to de
fine fire.
How the first domestic fire
was started is one of the
questions modern day science
probably will always seek but
never find. Of course, fire was
present and occurred rather
frequently long before there
was a human ancestor on this
earth. Ever since, succeeding
generations of men have at
tempted explanations, but
they are all guesses. There is
no real evidence to substan
tiate any of the theories.
Fire is not an element or a
substance. It has no weight.
When the fuel on which it
feeds is consumed, there is
nothing of the actual fire left:
nothing to offer the most
astute scientist the faintest
evidence of what it was or
how it began.
Ignited by Lightning
Early fires were ignited by
lightning. The prehistoric man
would have crawled under his
bed when the lightning
flashed if he had a bed. But
as it was he was scared half
to death. He didn't know what
it was or why, when soon
after the forest or the grass
would be aflame. But the fire
that raged probably killed
many animals too slow to get
out of the way. Some of those
animals were the same ones
the man killed with a club
and ate.
One day he may have been
hungry and, game being
scarce after the fire, discov
ered a fried animal, tasted it
and found It palatable. He dis-

Oregon Emerging
From Deep Freeze
Portland -lUPIl- The state of
Oregon showed signs today of
emerging from Its deep frcczo
but streets and highways in
many areas remained hazard
ous. Snow flurries and light driz
zle, some of it freezing, were)
forecast.
Portland got a light dust
ing of snow Sunday which
turned into freezing drizzlo
during the night. This morn- '
ing streets were sheets of ico
and motorists skidded to work
during the rush hour.
Forecasts called for highs
above freezing in western
Oregon and parts of eastern
Oregon today, but lows down
to 26 west of the Cascades
and to 12 cast of the moun
tains tonight.
The southbound lanes of
the Baldock Freeway near the
Tigard overpass were blocked
nearly four hours late Sunday
when the rear trailer of a
gasoline tanker truck turned
over on the ley road. Thcro
was no fire. Driver William
Bclm of Mt. Angel and his
son, Chuck, 15, escaped injury.
Portland Firm Fire
Damage Estimated
Portland tUPB Fire at a
northwest Portland industrial
plant early today resulted in
an estimated $250,000 loss.
Four alarms were sounded
for the blaze, which broke out
about 3:30 a.m. at the Cum
mins Oregon Diesel Inc. build
ing. There were no injuries.
Assistant Fire Chief Ken
neth Post said loss was pri
marily to equipment, spare
parts and office equipment in
the 150 by 200 foot one-story
concrete building.
Firemen battled the blaze,
of undetermined origin, for
about an hour.
HMD'
covered that cooked meat is
pretty tasty, much more so
than the raw flesh he was
used to eating.
At the time, he and his
hump-backed wife, as well as
his low-browed children, had
been eating raw meat; he
hadn't started yet raising veg'
etables. Those he gathered
from the forest or the jungle
he ate raw. They wore hit
teeth down, right to the gums,
He wasn't very bright because
he neglected to wash the sand
off. The food was pretty gritty
but it was stomach-filling.
Cookery Begins
He may have taken some
burning embers home from
the forest fire and attempted
to tell his wife how very de
licious cooked flesh was. If
she bestirred herself and kept
fuel on the fire, he may have
told her, they could enjoy
cooked meat at every meal,
If she goofed off and allowed
the fire to go out, he would
have to wait until the next
electrical storm set the woods
afire. Then, If they didn't die
of smoke inhalation, they
could cook again. Up until the
electrical storm, they all con
tinued to eat raw meat.
Another possibility and
it could have happened is
that the prehistoric man may
have made his bed by piling
leaves, grass or any other veg
etation in a corner of the cave.
He probably slept on a leaf
bed before he learned how to
dress and preserve the skins
of animals.
Not being loo bright, he
may have piled vegetation in
the corner that heated up
when In a heavy mass. He
didn't know what spontaneous
combustion was, but if his bed
caught fire he knew he had
made a mistake somewhere,
It must have been uncomfort-
blc, fleeing his burning bed
in his skin night-dress.
Another interesting fact
about prehistoric fire making
is that any hypothesis may be
right or wrong. No one will
ever know for sure.
