Add Excuses For Hot Toddy... Doctors Find Two Types Of Colds
Cleveland. (UP)—One of the most important developments in cold research since 1931 was the discovery that there are at least two types of the common cold, according to scientists in the department of preventive medicine at the Western Reserve university School of Medicine here
Claimed to be the biggest discovery since Dr. A. R. Doohez of Columbia University 15 years ago established that this common ailment is due to a virus, the two types of cold were discovered originally at Fort Bragg, N.C., during the war by scinetists now at Western Reserve.
The two types are:
One that develops 24 to 48 hours after exposure and starts in the nose.
One that begins with a sore throat and develops five to seven days after exposure.
The discovery was made with the aid of human "guinea pigs" under the direction of Dr. John H. Dingle, professor of preventive medicine.
At the conscientious objectors' camp in Gatlinburg, Tenn., in the summer of 1943, 12 men volunteered to be "guinea pigs." Their noses and throats were thoroughly sprayed with collections of virus taken from soldiers who had been hospitalized with colds and atypical pneumonia. The following summer 90 more volunteered and were hospitalized in a hotel in Pinehurst, N.C.
Dr. Rammelkamp commended the men for their courage, pointing out that although the death rate in atypical pneumonia is low, "there was a definite element of danger."
Some of the virus collections were boiled while others were passed through filters too fine to permit the passage of bacteria. Those receiving the boiled viruses went through the tests without becoming ill. Unboiled material that either had or had not been passed through the filter proved virulent.
Some of the samples of cold viruses were taken from soldiers who had developed colds that started in the nose, while others were taken from those with sore throats.
Colds in the nose developed among the volunteers in 24 to 48 hours; the rest came down with sore throats in five to seven days. Then volunteers were again inoculated to see if an immunity to colds is built up by a previous illness.
Those with nose-colds became ill again—those re-inoculated with sore throat virus did develop immunity.
In the next step—cross-inoculation of volunteers—it was found that one
form of cold did not build up an immunity for the other.
While these tests seemed to establish definitely that there are two forms of the common cold, Dr. Rammelkamp said there may be still other forms.
Baby Representative Was Silent Candidate
Washington. (UP)—Capt. George W. Sarbacher, Jr., who did not utter a word in behalf of his candidacy during the November congressional elections, today became the "baby" member of the new Congress.
Sarbacher, who was 27 last Sept. 30 and served nearly five years in the Pacific with the Marines, was still in the service during the campaign and was prohibited by military regulation from taking an active part to help himself win election.
He did make platform appearances at political meetings. By his war record and what other Republicans said for him, he won election over the Democrat incumbent, Rep. William J. Green, in Pennsylvania's fifth district.
Truman 'Couldn't Acquire
A True Harvard Accent'
Cambridge. Mass. (UP)—President Truman was "disappointed but resigned" today after accepting an appointment as an honorary editor of the Crimson, Harvard undergraduate newspaper, only to learn the offer was penned by a practical ioker.
In a letter to the student-editors Mr. Truman said: "However, it's probably just as well. I don't think I could ever acquire a true Harvard accent. I'll have to be satisfied with the appellation of president if the United States."
Douglas, Wyo. (UP)—Bill Hagar is kicking himself for destroying the head of a deer he killed in the mountains. He learned too late that a Rawlins taxidermist wanted to buy it for $100 as an oddity. It had 13 points on one side and nine on the other.
Lets Go Of Prize
Evanston, Ill. (UP)—A great postwar demand is developing for engineers, chemists, salesmen and men with general business training, according to a survey conducted by the bureau of placement of Northwestern university.
Survey Shows Call For College Men
Frank S. Endicott, director, released results of the survey, which indicated a 51 per cent increase over 1940 in the number of inexperienced university graduates who would be employed by business and industry next year.
Endicott said the survey was based on information from 110 companies and indicated that 90 firms estimated their needs for inexperienced college graduates during 1947 at 4,287, an average of 54 per company.
The firms included manufacturers and distributors, department stores, banks, insurance companies, oil and rubber firms, public accounting firms, chemical concerns, airlines and public utilities.
The greatest need in 1947 will be for engineers, according to the survey, with 2,315 of them needed by the 90 companies in the following order: chemical, mechanical, electrical, civil and aeronautical.
Second only to the need for engineers will be that for men with general business training received in schools of commerce or colleges of liberal arts. Chemists and salesmen place third and fourth, respectively.
An oversupply in certain fields was predicted by 48 per cent of those. No answers, questionnaire. Continuing observations fields were predicted by 47 per cent.
Fields in which an oversupply was forecast included personnel work business administration, accounting industrial engineering and advertising. Shortages were predicted in engineering, chemistry, physics and secretarial work.
