German Measles

measles is nothing worse than a
three -clay rash and a week off
from school. But to an unborn
child, the usually mild rubella.
virus can be vicious: Babies born
to mothers infected during the
first month of pregnancy stand a
BO per cent chance of congenital
heart defects, cataracts, deafness,
or mental retardation. Soon such
dangers may be a thing of the
past.
Two researchers at the Nation-
al Institutes of Health, Drs. John
L. Sever and Gilbert M. Schiff,
last month announced a major
step toward wiping out the threat
with a vaccine. After more than
s' year of experimenting, they
bad isolated the rubella virus.
The NTH team first tracked
Blown the virus — which has
eluded researchers for decades—
M throat washings from infected
Army recruits and children. A
two-step test proved it was
rubella:
First, they knew that a tissue
culture infected with rubella can -
snot be further destroyed by an-
other virus called Coxsackie A-9.
When they added Coxsackie A-9
to their presumptive rubella cul-
tures, the new virus failed to
spread. But this wasn't enough
proof, since other viruses also
block Coxsackie A-9,
As a double check, the re -
Searchers injected blood serum
(from persons just recovered
from German measles) into some
fresh rubella virus cultures, If
rubella viruses were aotualiy
there, they would be killed by
antibodies in the convalescents'
blood; then Coxsackie viruses,
when a d d e d, would spread
through the tissue cultures,
"That's just what happened,"
said Dr. Sever last month. "Then
we knew we had rubella,"
Because German measles is a
Mild disease, the lab -grown virus
itself could be used to "vacci-
nate" chlidren or young women
pimply by producing a full-blown

Don't Waste Time
On Mongrel_ Dogs
by Henry P. Davis
Assuming that all dogs possess
the hunting instinct to some de-
gree, is it possible to start a
puppy of mongrel parentage at
an early age and turn it into a
satisfactory hunting dog? That
is a debatable question.
One might try out 50 mongrel
pups before he got one showing
any degree of promise at all, and
even then his chances of success
would be mighty slim — even
if the trainer made a full-time
job of it. By the time the young
mongrel had reached the age of
11/z years he would, at best, only
have begun to learn something
about hunting. Even then he
might decide such activity was
not to his liking.
In the meantime, the trainer
would have had to purchase a
pile of fairly expensive food on
a worthless dog, have worn out
his shoes, clothing, and his pa-
tience. That's not for mel
This is not to say that no mix-
ed breed will ever make a satis-
factory hunting dog. There are
individuals that do rather well.
In fact, I've seen a few myself
and hunted behind them with
reasonable satisfaction. But, with
the exception of two mongrels
that were pretty fair rough-and-
tumble dove retrievers and sev-
eral little mixed-up terrier types
that had a world of squirrel
hunting savvy, all were in the
category of trail hounds.
I am confident that the best
coon dog I ever hunted behind
was a cross between a purebred
hound and an old-fashioned farm
shepherd. Undoubtedly the best
squirrel dog I ever saw was a
small terrier type of very mixed
parentage, named, of all things,
Colossus. He was owned by a
tenant farmer down South.
This little dog had an uncanny
technique all his own. He never
ranged far from his master, but
he merely quietly flitted through
the woods making hardly a
sound. Occasionally, he would
look up into a tree, after sniffing
its trunk. If he sat down and
wiggled his stub tail vigorously,
you could bet your bottom dollar
at least one squirrel was topside
in the branches. The hunter
would quietly move to the oppo-
site side of the tree. Usually,
the squirrel would move around
to the side next to the clog. A
sharp yap from Colossus would
send it scurrying back to the
other side in view of the gunner
and in gun range --- a great
squirrel dog indeed.
Attempting to develop a mong-
rel puppy into a satisfactory gun

dog is playing a losing game in
most cases, The result is never
worth the effort, for even if you
do have some degree of success,
in the end you still have only a
mongrel which, cannot reproduce
its own kind,
Stick to the purebred breeds,
and the chances are you'll have
a dog of which you can truly be
proud, Determine the type of
hunting you want to do. Then
pick a representative of one of
the breeds that has been spec-
ially developed for that type 01
hunting, and then concentrate
your training efforts on it
Do not make a "jack-of-all-
trades" out of your dog no mat-
ter what breed you select. The
Germans for many years have
tried to develop all-purpose
breeds, and I suppose they have
been successful in satisfying
their own requirements in their
own country,
But there are very few of these
dogs trained for all-purpose
work that can hold a candle to
the specialty breeds so 'popular
in this country for our own type
of hunting. They are good hon-
est workers, to be sure, but when
a dog has his mind. on ground
game when you want to hunt
birds, you are both likely to get
a little mixed up.
Purebreds take up no more
room, eat no more food, require
no more care. They are much
easier to train — and you are not
ashamed to show them to your
sportsmen friends.
Let me add, however, that I've
seen hundreds of mixed -breed
mongrels called hunting dogs by
their owners but with whom it
was a waste of time to go afield.
The heft of their owners' game
pockets was, indeed, proof
enough that it does not pay to
waste time on training them,
"Most Lovable Ham
Who Ever Lived"
There was never a more pop-
ular United States Vice President
than befuddled, self - effacing,
melon -bellied Alexander Throt-
tlebottom.
Nominated on the John P.
wintergreen ticket in the 1932
Pulitzer Prize-winning play, "Of
Thee I Sing;' Throttlebottom
spent the campaign writing
speeches (never delivered) in a
cave. Once elected — he hadn't
really wanted to run, for fear
his mother would find out —
Throttlebottom went tremulous-
ly down to Washington and spent
his tenure standing rabbit -shy
at the rear of guided tours, try-
ing to discover what the Vice
President was supposed to do,
The nation chortled with damp -
eyed glee—not simply at Throt-
tlebottom but at the truly im-
probable man who portrayed
him. As one old friend of Victor
Moore said: "There was never a
more perfect case of type -casting
Though he earned an income as
high as $150,000 a year. Moore
shyly tiptoed through life with
all the wide-eyed gullibility of a
sucker who is on the verge of
buying the Washington Monu-
ment,
In a career spanning 70 years,
he played in more than 40 motion
pictures and scores of stage plays.
In 1957, he made his last appear-
ance—an eight -minute part in
"Carousel" Then, like most Vice
Presidents, Moore passed into
obscurity, There was no more
work. Most of his friends were
dead, Three weeks ago, he told
stage friend Harry Delmar that
he was feeling rundown, and en-
tered the Percy Williams Conval-
escent Home on Long Island.
When Moore died in his sleep
last month at 86, Delmar com-
mented: "He was the biggest •-•-
and most lovable — ham that
ever lived."

How Ccrn 1?
By Roberta Lee
Q. What can I do when some
burned starch has accumulated
on the bottom of my iron?
A, Disconnect the iron, allow
It to cool, then apply some paste
silver polish to the starch. Wipe
the iron with a slightly damp
cloth, and follow with a dry one.
It's as simple as that.
Q. Some of the Bars Pd like to
use for preserving have a musty
odor. What can I do about this?
A. Fill the jars with cold water
in which some baking soda has
been dissolved. This will soon
freshen them. Wash in hot water
and suds, rinse well, and they
are ready for use.
Q. Row can I eliminate the
rather unpleasant odor when
cooking shrimp?
A. A stick of cinnamon dropped
into the water in which you are
boiling your shrimp will dispel
the smell and still not affect the
taste.
Q. Can you suggest an effici-
ent way of hooking two or more
card tables together into one
long table for a family gather-
ing or picnic?
A. This can be done by set-
ting the adjacent pairs of legs
into snug -fitting tin cans. Be
sure to use cans that provide a
tight fit for the two legs and
that are high enough to keep
the lengths of the two legs to-
gether.
Q. What can I do about a
screen door that is sagging and
is out of plumb with the door
opening?
A, Square this screen door
with a turnbuckle, procurable at
your hardware store. The top of
the turnbuckle is attached to the
hinge side of the door, and then
the wire is stretched diagonally
across the door, and the turn-
buckle screwed until your door
is brought back square:
