Technically known as the "slide detector fence",
it is erected parallel to Union Pacific tracks
as a protection against falling rocks, trees or
other possible obstructions. Any such object
striking the fence breaks an electrical con
tact, "setting up" signals miles down the
track to warn trains approaching in-either
direction. A trainman must then make a thor

Local Drug Companies to
Receive Penicillin Soon
Local drug companies have
been notified that penicillin will
be available for civilian use
after March 15.
Previous to this announce'
ment, penicillin has been avail
able for military use only, ex
cept in urgent cases where
physicians made special requests
to Dr. Chester S. Kcefer, gov
ernment director for penicillin

Falls from San Francisco upon
authorization from Boston, on
request of a local physician, sav
ing the life o( a little boy last
year.
This drug, obtained from the
green mold notatum penicilium,
from which it derives its name
penicillin, while being carried
by local drug companies, will
be obtainable only through doc
tors prescriptions and adminis
tered under direct supervision
of physicians.
Ho Oral Use
While the drug is not yet be
ing used orally it may very
possibly be in the not too dis
tant future, pharmacists sur
mise. The Hillside hospital here has
been getting 50 ampules per
month. Now drug companies
may secure 10 ampules per
month from each wholesale
drug organization.
The culture mold is grown In
about three weeks, and the first
vial was produced for medical
use two years ago. Since then
300,000 vials have been pro
duced per year and now it is
expected that 900,000 will be
produced. Twenty-one govern
ment manufacturers are pro
ducing it.
Restricted Before

quantity of penicillin being used
by the armed forces there has
not been enough produced to
supply civilian demands also.
Now, however, it will be re
leased in limited quantities
