tooed in the right ear for Brucello-

ala'o in the right ear—for TB. But

Ile the blood test must be branded

Speaking of Brucellosis—or, to
give it the better known name —
ang'a Disease, there is a most in -
Westing article on this subqect in
Alto current issue of Country Gentle -
mum. It deals, not so much with
the effects of this disease on ani-
mals, but on human beings.
Brucellosis today—that is among
people—is primarily a farm problem,
and no one knows just how many
tame are who staffer from it in one
of its many fauns, but it is re-
cognized that four out of five of

it is an undulant fever, and can
be at distinctly unpleasant and crip-
pling disease, Sufferers from it, in
drat snore acute form, are often mis-
erably ill for many months at a
time. From a single exposure, a
patient has been known to remain ill
:for as long as ten years.
* * *
.A11 authorities agree that the
etttrnber of KNOWN cases re-
presents only a fraction of the vic-
tims; and one expert states that the
ettenrsber of diagnosed human eases
loas increased sixtyfoid in the past
20 years. Another authority puts
91 rn number of cases, in the United
States alone, at over 130,000 every

To try and found out just how
many people may be suffering from
Brucellosis, a Doctor Spink asked
university authorities to let him
make skin tests on all patients com-
ing to the hospital's out-patient de-
partment, These included both city
and country folks, and they worked
at all sorts of trades and occupa-
tions. The only thing they had in
common was that NOT ONE OF
THEM thought that he or she had
undulant fever. Yet, out of 553
tested, nearly one in five either had,
or had at some time been exposed
to, Brucellosis.

"I had an attack of flu, with aches
and pains in my body—chills, head-
ache, sweats and a Utak cough" is
the way one describes it. "It clear-
ed up in about ten days, but ever
since I feel weak and tired. I'm
nervous, have headaches, feel low in
my mind and my appetite is poor,"
As -many of my readers no doubt
know, undulant fever may 'come

ortion, or Bang's Disease. And be-
cause most urban markets insist on
milk being pasteurized this forth of
disease is rare in towns and cities,

But because many farmers do not
bother to pasteurize the milk kept
for family use, the disease is ramp-
ant in manv,rural areas, just how
dangerous the milk -borne infection
can be will be seen from what hap-
pened in a small Maryland town
where, within a few days, 28 towns-

Traitor's Trial
'Lord Haw Haw' was a household
name in Great Britain during the
war. It was a name bestowed in
derision on the best broadcaster that
the Nazis had. His curious rasping
drawl was known to nearly every
British radio listener, and es he
announced `Gairmany calling! Gair-
many calling! Gairmany calling!
Here are the Reichsender Haar
bourg, Station Bremen, and Station.
DN. B on the thirty-one metre band.
You are about to hear our news in
English', he was to some as a red
rag to a bull, but to most he was g
joke. His nick -name, 'Lord Haw
Haw,' was given to him by a news-
paper and used as the title of a war-
time London musical 'Comedy, and
imitations of him became part of
the stock -in -trade of every mimic.
'i.or'd Haw Haw's' real name
was as the world now knows, Wil-
liam Joyce. He was hanged for
treason on January 3, 1446. Treason
is the greatest of all crimes, and the
trial at Old Bailey in London of
this notorious little matt, with his
razor -slashed cheek and insinuating
voice, attracted wide attention. The
whole thing devolved on a question
of nationality and the privileges and
duties attached to the holding of a
British passport. Though the guilt
of Joyce was a fact of which no one
had any doubt, the only people who
can commit treason are those who
owe allegiance to the Crown, and
it was early found that the national-
ity of William Joyce was arguable.
The case finally hinged on Joyce's
possession of a British passport,
which he applied for and was grant-
ed when he left Britain for Germany
immediately before the outbreak of
ware and the Judge ruled that be-
yond the shadow of a doubt the
prisoner at that tune owed al-
legiance to the Crown, and that no-
thing thereafter_happenedtd •alfer
that fact, At the trial, throughout
the long and brilliant legal argu-
ments, Joyce sat tight-lipped and
absorbed, and he seemed to follow
it all with almost professional ap-
preciation. The programme includ-
es actual records of passages from
some of his broadcasts, including his
last.

The wife of a recently -married
Aberdonian had successfully under-
gone an operation for appendicitis.
A day or two after the operation
her husband was having a drink
with the doctor, who in a moment
of forgetfulness mentioned that the
operation should have token place
two or three years earlier.
The father-in-law received the

Operation Monkey Wrench
Keep your fingers crossed, chum., but it does look now as
if Yankee nuts soon may be fitting Britieh bolts by interna-
tional agreement.
There's a machine -age miracle i&.r you --simple as it may
seem, :Manufacturers of peacetime goods o1 both sides of the
Atlantic have been trying to make it happen for 50 years.
They couldn't get to firi:t base. But now it's "an objective made
urgent by military planning." So our Urnited States State
Department and National Bureau of Standards have been
stirring their stumps, and so have .British officials involved
in comparable Ivor?. Loug and complicated negotiations seem
ahcmt to be crowned with success.
Why this iinternataional fuss about nuts and bolts? Don't
we and the British both use feet and inches? This sounds like
the sort of thing a few smart lads could arrange by air mail and
settle in an hour by transatlantic telephone. 'After that, an
American who lost a. nut off a trunk handle in° London could
go to the nearest ironmonger—that's a bloke who sells hard-
ware --and buy an English -made nut to replace it. 'l.'he sante
would go for nuts and bolts on weapons. aircraft parts, and
many other kinds of war goods which this country and 13iitain
have been trying to put nn a common l,tisis since the start of
World War 1I,
it's hard to read about :such things without getting red
tapitis. That's a dull feeling of utter discouragement in the
seat of our intelligence. For half a century-, the mechanical
brains of two great nations have atrua;g_led vainly to make a
British bolt fit an American pump handle. Yet both are eager
to get the job done and each can say, "Please pass the monkey
wrench" in the same language. - Denner Post.
