A' Johns /lop- kits expedition h.eaFLed .by two, dee tees went to Seitzbergen to study the common. cold. All winter long, with the thermometer. below zero, none df the 507 people in the world'te.nortlhei e most settlement 'shad a cold. In May a passenger stip arrived and a week later .the town had 84 cases of cold;. two months later 90 per cent of the i'otfulation were sneezing. Whtch proves that colds are caused not by low temperatiree but by contact - with a cold -infected person. But if you sit in a draft when. ycu're perspiring, ea wear wet clothes in chilly weather, aren't you almost eute to catch cold? Not necessarily. Professes Karl Ohodaunsky of Prague eat for five minutes in a 'bath heated to 112 degrees, then snood naked for one hour before a window with the temperature at 36 degrees'. He relied'. to catch cold, so he wrung out a shirt soaked in icy water, put it on,. and sat for ,half an hour in a near-free°c- ing draft. Still he diebet catch cad. Proving -after many similar' hideous', experiments-that there is no cure connection between catching • e • wild and the conditions most peopla be - 1 eve are its commonest causes. Cases of comlmoo cold' outnumber any otEer ditseaee 25 to 1-. Yet no cn•e has ever died from, an uncompli- cated cold, and because colds are comparatively trivial, medical science Chas rightly' neglected them in faaoa of such .mortal .plagues' as cancer pn•eum•onia and tuberculosis. In 're- cent years, however, the doctors have beer, working :on this mystery, and have learned many important things -most of them negative. We know! air instance, from careful studies, that there are just as many. epidem- ies in southern California as there are in windy Chicago; that the loco- motive engineer in his drafty cab isn't' as Likely` to catch cold as . the rrassengens in the stuffy 'cars behind The :nnprrtant information on the positive side is that medical men are now pretty sure that colds are spread by sub-rra'erescopic organisms known as aft t enable viruses"-sto-called be- cause they are small 'enough to pass through a porcelain filter which will catch ordinary bacteria. This explan- ation of the origin of colds was cli.noh- ed by careful experiments, with chimp- anzeeeatendircted 'by, Dr. A. R. DoChez aC Columbi:a University The chimp- anzees were kept .00id-free in indi- vidual ate -ilia -rooms•.--T.laeneone ani- mal was .infected, wjtb..virrrs from a humancold. He caught cold, was brought into contact with another chimpanzee, and so frown chimp to chimp the infection spread. Our friendly, gregarious , habits make the travels of. this virus very rapid..

Experiments •by Dr. Wilson G. Smil- lie, Professor 'of Public • Health at Cornell University Medical College, have shown anbtherimportant' fact: when most 'of us are knee-d'eep in raper napkins and telling our friends to keep away, the virus is:.no 1pn'ger a threat to otih'ers. It began to be a threat°in the first stage, scene hours before even the sufferer himself sus- pected a cold to be on the way. By the time it is recognized, friends and families . may already have been ex- posed. Scientists have worked hard to de- velop a vaccine against' colds. I't than not so far 'proved very successful. Dr. Vale Kneeland., of Presbyterian Hos- i:ital, New York, after vtaccinating in- fants in an fnstitirtion, found that the vaccinated babies had less severe .colds than the unvaccinated, but just as many. • At the Universities ' of Michigan and Minnesota, hundreds of students were vaccinated year after year, some with real vaocine and some with a ,neutral fluid. The :re- cord e- cord was discouraging, some of the students wire-• had been given. the neutral fluid -which they were told was vaccine -reported fewer colds. Twenty thousand vaocinatiorrs, emong" telephone employees showed little re duction in the number of colds. The most that can be said is that with certain individuals the vaccine evi- dently does work, •and on the whole it seems, to make colds lighter. But what can the individual iso? Very little. - There its no evidence whatever that "a good .diet, or cod liver ods, or vitamin, pills, or the fad of ultra viotlet..rad'Yation, or bare legs, or cold baths will of themselves pre- vent a ooldt. Keeping in good payee oat condition, with plenty of sleep, does help, and may prevent comtpli- catitohs•. All right,' since there is po practi- cal way to prevent it, we've 'caught our cold -now how do we cure it? Most people, unhappy uni'ess 'they. can • have specific remedies, caiie'oet, their own.

It's a fascinating part of the camera, hobby -and any cam- era that bas a "time" or 'sbulb? ex- posure setting can be usdd. Exposures are abort, because of the modern high speed films now available for amateurs. However,' that does not mean you can go out with An inexpensive .camera, and take snapshots anywhere at night. Most night scenes require,,time'•en' posures of a fewseconds up to several minutes, with the camera on a firm, solid support. Even so, these are brief exposures -if you will consider that, once it took hours to photograph any after -dark subject. The light varies with each sub- ject, but a little experience enables' you to estimate the exposure: With a box camera and high speed pan- ehromatic filen, these are some av- erage exposures: Brilliantly lighted s t r e e•t- • " scenes, 4 --to 6 seconds. Average 'street scenes, 1 to - 3 minutes. . Average street scenes with fresh snow on the ground, 30 e to 90 seconds.
