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 ease.

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 "ROUND IN CIRCLES These Rome firemen -to -be demon~ strute their physical fitness during a mass exercise of skill that climaxed their training program.. 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." Bapptness—Good health and e. pont memory.

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: merriest, DIXON'S REMEDY - Fok hiUkt• TIS AND RHEUMATIC PAINS THOUSANDS SATISFIED., MUNRO'S DRUG STORE, 335 ELGIN, OTTAWA $1 25 EXPRESS.
