Hospital Scientist in Hawaii
Reports on ' Seasonal
Power of Ultra
Violet Rays
A report by Ar, Nils P. Larsen, (U-
nder of the research ropartment of
Queen's, Hospital, Honolulu, concern.
Ing the nature awl effect of gunfight
treatment in Hawaii, has just been
published in the hospital bulletin, The
work on the analysis of sunlight for
a two-year yelled was subsidized by
the Castle Foundation, and prelimin-
ary work has been financed by the
Pan -Pacific Union.
"The need of such study ie apparent
when we Consider that in the ,last
annual report of the Board of Health
there is a picture of a row of tuber-
euboeis children getting 'sun -baths' at
one of our sanitaria,' said Drr. Lar-
sen. "Thee dirottor of another sant.
taiinnl expresses in no uncertain
terms the belief that sunlight is harm-
ful in pulmonary tuberculosis. Be-
sides this, we have popular opinions
which vary all the way from consid-
ering sunlight as a degenerating in-
fluence to the belief which considers
the sun as capable of curing all the
His of mankind. The wave of over.
advertising of the ultra-yiolet lamps
Which has finally resulted in notes of
warning cautioning people against
over exposure, is another phase which
suggests the need of more accurate
knowledge.
"The first eoneldoration was au at-
tempt to find an easy prectieai meth-
od of determining the quantity of ul-
tra -violet in the sunshine. Many
methods were tried, but. the oxalic -
acid method of Anderson was consid-
ered the most accurate and gave the
most consistent results. This was alto
tried by workers in different labora-
tories around the Pacific, and amaz-
ingly consistent results were obtained.
by the different workers. This seems
a practical method to use whenever
suniight therapy 15 to be given.
"During the course Of two years
various types of curves were pro-
duced, I. o., daily variations, monthly
variations and yearly variations. Tho
most interesting is the sudden rise in
ultra -violet between Feb. 15 and
March 15, and the sudden drop in Sep-
tember. Although the akin is not con-
sidered a good indicator for ultra-
violet due to its marked variation in
ability to react, nevertheless, one ex-
periment showed that early in Febru-
ary one hour's exposure failed to pro-
duce erythema (redness), whereas in
March, twenty minutes' exposure gave
marked erythema. Naturally, there -
tore, the sunbathe between September
xnd March are not going to give the
lame results- as baths between -March
end September.
"Other ;interesting observations
were the type of curves on different.
days, 1. e., on certain types of cloudy
days the ultra -violet curve was high.
The practicalapplication of this is
eitidont, Sunshine must be used sens-
ibly, and its variations must be taken
into account, whether it is by a tour-
ist on the beach trying to tan or by a
patient in a hospital. Only in this
way can a strong therapeutic agent
be used in any degree of acouraoy,
"Another interesting observation to
which the method was applied was
the comparison of results given by tilt-
ferent theraupoutic lamps. These
Vary a great deal in new lamps as
well as in the same lamp after run-
ning for a length of time.
"A preliminary report of this work
was given before the Hawaiian Acad-
emy of Science by Lois Godfrey, who
has been engaged In making these
measurements. The fu]1 report has
not been published."
'Australian Paper
Manitoba Free Press (Lib.): (The
Tasmanian Paper Company has been
formed to manufacture newsprint
from Australian wood, and will bo
granted a bounty cf $20 a ton on its
product by the Commonwealth Gov-
ernment.) This will give some of
the Canadian newsprint manufacturers
a bad jolt. Four years ago Austra-
lia raised its newsprint tariff to $15
a ton; but admitted the Canadian pro-
duct free under the terms of the
treaty which was being arranged at
that time. British Columbia paper
makers were quick to take advantage
of this and- several new mills were
built on the Pacific Coast. Exports
of newsprint to Australia have risen
from practically nothing before the
treaty was signed to almost 50,000
tons in 1928. The fact, however, that

DIAMOND DYES are used by
practically the same method as
any other dye. They go on easier,
though—more • smoothly and evenly;
without spotting or streaking. That's
because they are made from real
anilines, without a trace of fillers to
injure fabrics or give things that
redyed look.
Diamond Dyes contain the hlgdtis'f
quality anilines that many can bay.
That's why they give such clear,
bright, new -looking colors, which
keep their depth and brilliance so
remarkably through wear and
washings,
