I wish I could give a good
answer to the people who
wrllc asking me what they
can do to set
verms
their urine,
ins a cys-
'I I causint
i,4Ste;i A tll' (inflam
'STA matlon of the
WJ B bladder). I am
I afraid lean
I not, except to
say that if the
I infection has
shown i t self
resistant to treatment, the per
son had better find a good,
well trained urologist (kidney
and bladder specialist) who
will know from abundant ex
perience how to tackle the
many problems that are In
volved in these cases.
I myself did not know how
difficult the problem of clear
ing up a cystitis can be until
I read two big articles on the
subject by Dr. William J. Mar
tin of the Mayo Clinic. Much
depends on the type of germ
that is causing the trouble.
Some gorms arc easy to kill
off, while others are very hard
to kill. Often the urologist
must make sure that there
isn't some defect In the kid
neys or bladder that is keep
ing the cystitis going.
Sensitivity to Penicillin
A laboratory expert can
now take a drop of blood from
a person's fingertip or car,
he can put this blood in con
tact with a solution of peni
cillin, and within a few min
utes lie can say whether or
not the person is highly sen
sitive to the drug, says a Phil
adelphia dermatologist, Or.
Walter B. Shelley.
What happens Is that if the
person Is sensitive to penicil
lin, certain blood cells called
basophiles will rapidly go to
pieces. If the value of this
tost Is confirmed by other
men, It should be very useful,

Mrs. E, A. - My daughter
prefers her mother-in-law to
me.
Penny W. - It Just happens
we have many tilings in com
mon. a
Mrs. E. A. - Penny and her
husband live in Texas b u t
come North once a year and j
visit both mothers. We live
within a mile of each other.
What annoys me is that I see
so little of my daughter - she
spends most of the lime over
at her mother In - law's
house, with the excuse that
Mis. W. has "something spe
cial" on. It's like a slap at me.
Penny W. - I'm surprised
at my mother's childish show
of Jealousy. The amount of
time wo spend with her is
no index of my affection for j
her. Bob's mother Is a book-1
reviewer and 1 love to talk I
about books with her; Mother 1
is a dear, but her talk nev- i
er changes from the same old 1
gossip and the same old com
plaints. The Council - Well, the Is
sue is Joined: Shall it be "Fall
Safe" with the senior Mrs.
W, or the dangers of night
air with Mrs. A? Penny must
choose and defend her choice
in terms to convict) her moth
er that love and loyalty are
not Involved - Just Intellectu
al curiosity. We doubt that
Penny can swing It and we'd
like to propose a few ways
to turn the trips North Into
more of a lift for her mother
. . . Some of lhat egghead and
bookish talk can take place In
Mrs. As parlor as well as
Mrs. W'a. Can't you Invite
your mother-in-law over to
your mother's, Penny? Often
a person who doesn't partici
pate in thet talk gets much
pleasure from the nearness
of loved ones. Also, Penny
must avoid hurting her moth
er by unfair comparisons.
Each of these mothers has her
own shining strengths. Bask
ing In those of her mother,
Penny must never underrate
their value . . . A for Mrs.
A., she might welcome the
grime nudge from Penny
which may send her lo bone
up on What's New in NATO,
instead of on how many pup
pies Cousin Lulu'i pomeranl

and it should save many per
sons from running into seri
ous trouble, As Dr. Shelley
says, some few people arc so
extremely sensitive to penicil
lin that even the injection of
one drop of the drug can
make them very ill.
A promising drug - inosine
- for the treatment of por
phyria was mentioned recent
ly in the Journal of the AMA
by Dr. Robert Aldrich and
his associate at the University
of Washington. In some cases,
the drug appears to have giv
en dramatic relief to the patients.

Dinah Shore Weds In Surprise Rites
Redlands, Calif. tUPli Tele
vision star Dinah Shore was
married Sunday to Palm
Springs, Calif., contractor
Maurice F. Smith only
two days after the blonde
singer picked up the final
divorce papers from her first
marriage.
The wedding, attended by
Miss Shore's two children,
was as much a surprise to
her friends in Hollywood as
her separation from actor
George Montgomery in De
cember of 1961.
The couple refused lo say
where they would honey
moon, but Smith said they
probably would spend a week
driving through northern Cal
ifornia. The quiet civil ceremony
was performed at the home of
Superior Judge Joseph Ciano
here. Besides Miss Shore's
children, Melissa Ann, 15, and
John David, 10, others attend
ing were Smith's two sons,
Dexter, 12, and Dana, 5.
Melissa Ann was maid of
honor and Dexter was the
best man.
"I hadn't thought of getting
married this soon," the 45-year-old
singer said, "but it
is a woman's prerogative to
change her mind."
Senate Debates Mental Health
Washington - IIPII - The
Senate was scheduled to be
gin debate today on a $840
million mental health bill de
scribed by President Kenne
dy as a "bold new approach"
for treating the mentally ill
and retarded.
Chairman Lister Hill (D
Ala.) of the Senate Labor and
Public Welfare committee
which studied the measure,
predicted the bill would be
I approved.
I The legislations calls for the
I federal government to initiate
and help finance a system of
community mental hospitals
which would gradually re
place traditional state hospi
tals and allow patients lo be
treated in their home environ
ment near friends and rela
tives. Construction of the hospi
tals would be a long-term af
fair and most of the program's
costs would not begin until
1965 or later.
Funds also would be pro
vided for training of hospi
tal staffs, inslrucling teach
ers of handicapped children,
research centers for mental
retardation and research
grants.

Odds Against Inventor Getting Rich Said Formidable; Dreams Often Die
By HARRY FERGUSON
Washington - iliPH - Every
day 350 American inventors
apply to the federal govern
ment for a patent and auto
matically become mental mil
lionaires. They have rosy
dreams of quick wealth, but
as the days, months and years
roll by they are driven to
the conclusion that roulette
and crap-shooting may be bet
ter bets.
The odds against an invent
or getting rich arc formidable.
There is almost a 50-50 chance
that somebody thought up the
gadget before he did and al
ready has obtained a patent.
In any case his application
goes to the bottom of a list
of 108,000 others which are
awaiting a decision in the
U.S. Patent Office, and on an
average it will be between
three and three and a half
years before he will know
how he stands.
Only the Beginning
But his troubles are only
beginning. Once he gets the
patent, he has to persuade
somebody to manufacture and
sell his gadget and here, again
his chances are only a lit
tle better th.i 50-50. Too
many people invent inmgs
that nobody happens to want
at the moment.
The classic example is Jo
hannes Gutenberg, a German
who invented movable type In
the middle of the 15th cen
tury. He marie crude block
letters and printed a 28-page
book in Latin advising peo
ple how to make speeches. '
Then he ran out of money
and got a loan from Johann '
Fust, a banker. Gutenberg j
then printed some Bibles, but ,
they didn't sell well. The His-!
calculation in Gutenberg's j Cristoforo's pianos rotted
plan was that very few people the warehouses
knew how to read and there
wasn't any market for print
ed pages. The banker fore
closed on him, seized all of
his equipment and Gutenberg
wound up working for the
archbishop of Mainz at a sal
ary of une new suit of clothes
a year.
Has Same Problem
Long atlcr the inventor's
death a German, Gottfried
Silbermann, read about Cris
tofori's pianos and besan to
build them. He got rich fast.
The Germans happened to like
pianos.
American industry is high
ly competitive and the natu
ral assumption would be that
Bartholomeo Cristofori ran i corporations would slug it out
into the same problem when
lie invented the piano in 1709.
The Italians didn't like the
piano, preferring the d..lci-
mer and the harpsichord, and
with each oilier in an attempt
to get an invention lhat would
improve their product. But
In 1926 F. W. Davis invent
ed power steering for auto
mobiles. It made a car tn-j
finitely easier to handle and j
obviously was a strong selling
point to women drivers. But
just the oilier day Davis, in
Boston, told in' the Wall
Street Juurnal an amazing sto
ry about his invention.
As soon as lie had perfect
ed the device he look It lo
Detroit and demonstrated it
to 10 automobile companies.
sometimes they appear lo be : None was interested. In 19
completely blind when a new lie stirred some interest in
idea - patented and proved - Cadillac Motors, he said, and
is put before them. j a tentative licensing agree
ment was drawn up. But Cad
iliac decided the cost of tool
ing the invention was too high
and the agreement was al
lowed to expire
Davis said he then went to
the Bendix corporation, which
agreed to experiment but only
on pilot models for buses
and trucks. Sometime in 1940
Davis said he got the Buick
Motor company interested in
power steering.
"It looked like we were
ready to go." he said, "but
then came Pearl Harbor and
the end of civilian automobile
production.

"After the war I went back
to Cadillac and they told me
they didn t need anything new
because they were selling all
ine cars tney could make. It
was not until 1951 when a
buyers' market returned lhat
the automobile makers be
came interested in power
steering. When Chrysler In
troduced a power steering
model, everybody wanted one
and I began to make some
money."
Gets First Patent
Before adoption of the U.S.
Constitution the American
colonics and states issued
patents and the first one went
to Samuel Wlnslow of Mas
sachusetts, who in 1641 de
vised a new method for man
ufacturing salt. President
George Washington signed the
first federal patent law on '
April 10, 17D0, and since then
the U.S. Patent Office has
granted 3,090,044 applica
tions. Most of them have been for
gotten, and that is the rea
son few inventors get rich.
But when a man comes up
with the right thing at the
right time, the money rolls
in like the tides of the ocean.
Take Cyrus H. McCormick,
for instance. His father owned
four farms in Virginia, two
saw mills and a blacksmith
shop, and was constantly
tinkering with the idea of a
machine for harvesting his
grain.
Solves Problem
' Young McCormick went to
work on the problem and in
1831, at the age of 22, submit
ted his plans to the family
blacksmith. What he had done
was to solve the problem of
how to keep stones and
stumps from breaking the
knives which cut the grain.
He did it by protecting them
with a string of metal fingers
which brushed aside the
rocks.
Before 1831 a man with a
scythe could cut about half
an acre of grain a day. Soon
McCormick's reaper was cut
ting 16 acres a day, even
though It was horse drawn.
McCormick had hit the jack
pot and he moved to Chicago,
where he put up a factory
and sold reapers as fast as
he could make them.
One by product of Mc
Corm'cks Invention was tuat
the Chicago lawyers never
had It so good. They went up
ana down the land suing peo
ple who were Infringing on
McCormick's patents. When
an Inventor has to spend lots
of time in court, he knows
he has it made.
