always be mended before washing.
Most housewives wash first and
mend after, but this is less safe

also be fixed before putting clothes

Leukemia Still
Baffles Scientists
In a,' small, clean room in the
basement .of the Allan Memorial
Institute of Psychiatry in Montreal
lives .a colony of 500 doomed 'mice.
These little white mice look like
any other white mice. They are
healthy and lively. They enjoy their
food and are full of pep. The fe-
males raise yeung and nurse them,
But when thbar reach the age of
six months, one by one they Lcgin
to show signs of ill' health. They
become listless and thin. .Their-
coats are scruffy, their eyes watery
and their breathing becomes lab, r-
ed. Within a few weeks .hey are
dead. Some, of the hardier ones
survive to ,be 14 month's of age but
none live to. `the alloted mouse life
span of apppoximatply 20 ,months.
Theae• mice 'die of leukemia, the
most baffling of all the .types of
earicer. They are called AKR mice
and' they have been inbred for
generation after generation so that
now, without exception, ,they all get
leukemia. And they get it without
it being "induced" or caused by
anyone, Np known chemical or
drug can save them,
.Dr., Bernard .Grad,, working .with
a grant provided by the Cartalian
Cancer. .Society, has been studying
these AKR mice for a number of
years to find , out why they get
leukemia and. die. But he still
doesn't know. "It is fascinating to
watch them," Dr: Grad explains,
"Whatever it is that *causes 1-a-
kemia is in their little bodies from
birth. But what' is it? How does :t
act? If We can find that out may-
be We can do something to pre-
' 'Grad :is greatly concerned
about this problem because his in-
vestigation into leukemia statistics
show that we are' losing the battle
against this ,form of cancer. Ile
points out that during..the past 50
years, and especially in the 'past
two decadesa, the death rate from,.
leukemia' has been rising in most
countries; '
Oddly 'ehough, the death figures
seem to indicate that the better the
standard' of living the higher the
incidence Of leukemia. ,Professipn-
al peoPle ,and executives are more
likely :th'''get the 'disease than are
has,
.wo4cers. Also, 'body weight
haS something to do with it. The
eigease .most • 'frequently occurs in
"hea;040t children; 'Dr. • Grad 'be-
lieves, Sonic of flip work already
accomplished seems to bear this
out. In eXperinients to discover the
effect ' of stimulating the thyrbid'
he..discovered that thyroid activity
affected, leukemia only as it affect-
ed the body weight of the mouse.
If -the thyroid treatment caused'
overweight it increased the inci-
dence of leukemia. If it caused loss
of body weight it decreased the
incidence of the .disease.
• This is. a long, painstaking and
expensive process. For eyery mouse
injected there must be a twin, call-
ed a "control", Who is 'allowed to
develop without interference. Only
