We have all heard of cancer units-groups of research labora- tory workers, practising physicians and chemists whole entire efforts are devoted to investigating the cause of, cancer so that humanity may escape this terrible scourge. . on the same pattern, cold units have been established. to learn more about the common. cold which. while not fatal in itself. nevertheless is the cause of much suffering and loss of time from work. It is. as well, forerunner of such dangerous dlsea.ses- as pneu- monia. bl " ,neumonia and tuberculosis.
The findings of the common Cold
Research Unit. l-larvard Hospital, k
Salisbury, Wilts., England. set up by the Medical Research Council and the Ministry of Health in 1946. are reported by Dr. C. H. Andrews in the British Lancet. The primary object of this cold unit was to try to find a laboratory technique with which colds could be conveniently studied. This object has not yet been reached. All attempts to cul- tivate a virus (the tiny organism believed causing colds) in fertile eggs or to infect by inoculation any laboratory animal other than the chimpanzee. failed.- Notwithstanding the failure of this unit to cultivate the virus and learn more about colds. some im- portant information about colds was obtained by a study of injec- tions into the nose of substances cqusing infection, into 899 human volunteers over a period of two grid one-half years. Volunteers were isolated in pairs for 10 days of which the first three days was the quarantine period. inoculations were made on the fourth day. test Ind control material being identi- fied by serial numbers so that dur- ing the course of each experiment neither, observers nor volunteers knew which material had been in- seated. in a test of the efficacy of the quarantine period and isola- tion precautions, of 4'! volunteers receiving stcrile'injections (no or- ganiuns in the broth ' injections) only 2 developed doubtful mild colds and 45 - had no symptoms whatever. Of those receiving injec- tions of cold organisms, 60 per cent had symptoms of disease. Are colds always caught? It was found that individuals in good health using ordinary care had a high resistance against colds. when the individual. carrying the virus. had cold feet and felt draughts. these upset natural re sistsnce and a cold developed. How does the cold spread? Coarse droplets from sneezing and coughing may make a "direct hit"

It was suest night in the mess. and the Irish colonel was telling an exciting story of an encounter with a wounded elephant which charred at him and bore him to the ground.
At the critical moment an order- ly entered to say the colonel was wanted on the telephone. lie was absent for some minutes. and on his return had forgotten which of his favourite stories he had been telling.
"What happened. colonel?" asked one of the guests. "You were tell- ing us of your dangerous situ- ation."

"Because" she nod- ded gravely "1: you didn't see it with your own eyes. you could hardly believe it! Let's gel" she begged bresthlessly. Then hand warm in ours we came along the barn-yard together. "You'll be sur- prised" she said "very su-prised- I wasl” when a calf with a coat as white as new-fallen snow is there instead of the red one you expected, it is indeed a surprise. "There!" she exclaimed rubbing a small damrp muzzle "what do you think of him?" The new calf had arrived.

Her days now. are extremely full with the various happenings on the farm - the new arrivals that appear in stable and fold and the goings and comings of the farm- ers in connection with the farm- wcrk.

Due to the prevailing illness, Jamie's school did not keep today, an in- cident not altogether mourned we suppose since it afforded leisure for him to attend to other equally
interesting pursuits, in which granddaughter Joined. "Did your children build play-houses
when they were the same age as we are?" she queried this morn- ing. when hair was being smooth- ed and izraicbed for the intended outing. "And what would gran'- daddy say when they helped them- selves to his nails and boards?" she smiled. "Uncle Rob doesn't say a word - not one word about it. And Aunty Karolyn says 'It's all right so long as you don't waste them' and then she kind of laughs. It's really a fine house .la.mie”s been building - chairs in it, and a table with an lecirlc light on it.

For Tosnorrow
A DIBRU'P'i'IVE and disinte- grating force. probably shattering deep-rooted heart vibrations, may materialize. in the home or rom- antic relations." with grief and dis- may as well as breath-taking rev- elations. Loss of prestige, popular- ity and standing in the business or professional life could be a side irue. However, a most propitious and comforting sign shows that re- adjustments and fresh understand- ings may be brought about by clever strategies, qairitual insight. or even the judicious use of per- sonal charms or graces. Discretion, tact, may win the day.
For the Birthday
Those whose birthday it is, may anticipate a year of sudden dis- ruptions or revelations, affecting fundamental relations of heart. life and home ties, with reactions on the reputation. prestige and peace of mind. Possibly material loss may accrue. However. I higher force may intervene for happier adjustments and understandings. perhaps by way of persuasion. strategies. or even the alluring and magnetic technique of person- allcharm.
A child born of this day. may have trials and broken ties in its personal. domestic or romantic life. with tangible losses also. However, there is hope from re- sort to finer strategies, qsiritusl guidance or the magic of personal appeal.

Q. I have just been told by friends that I committed a serious breach of etiquette by congratu- lating a girl men her announce- ment of her engagement. 1 was told that this suggested that I thought she was lucky to have found a man. Is this true?
A. This was a mistake. but it is a, very common one. and you should not worry too much about it. The usual procedure is to con- gratulate only the mall, and offer wishes of happiness to the girl.

'nonolllv DIX SAYS- ' A
Separated By Draft ' 3
Meny In Same Boat: iPair Must Face Fact Bravely
DEAR MISS DIX: lhave been going steadily with a man andfwe planned to be married this summer; have even rented our home. Now he has been drafted and it breaks up all our dreams. What shaliwe do? shall we go ahead with our marriage and not set up house. keeping until his return? Would you suggest a secret marriage? I realize that our future depends on our decision now. I am afraid ling not being a very good sport. but our life togcum has been a very happy one up until now. Our):- parnifon is going to be hard to lake.
ERLINE
ANSWER: Of course. your separation from you: sweetheart is going to be hard to take. So are plenty of other women finding it hard to be pulled from the sons and brothers husbands and lovers -2' who have answered their country's call. to... So many men who have had to give up fine jobs, or drop the profession in which they were just getting siarled,or leave the 'little business that was beginning to prosper to fit them- selves to defend their country. if need be, have found it hard to lake. There is nothing easy or pleasant about even the prospect of war.
. BE A GOOD SPORT
You are not the only one who has had her plans upset and who has had to put her dreams aside and face actualities, and.you an indeed. a poor sport if you whine and weep over the sacrifice yoi are called to make, and if you so begrudge doing your bit by” bol- stering up your fiance's courage and sending him forth cheered sud strengthened to do his duty. , .
As for whether you should marry before he goes or-noththsi is for you to decided. Common sense advises against it, but if you woul find any solace in a wedding ring. by all means take it. . ;
The one thing you mustn't do is to conunlt the folly of'a secret marriage. That always leaves a smudge of scandal on a marriage.amt you don't want that.
DEAR MISS Dix: I am a girl of lo with one more year cfvhtl school before I graduate. I am very much in love with s man all years older than myself. My home life is very miserable as my ill-W drinks. We are always glad to hear him leave and sorry 10?, him " come back. Now the question is-shall I get married at o co in onic: to get out of my unha-ppy home. or shall I wait until I finish school. Whaz would my friends think of me if I got married so youml
' UNI-IAPPY GIRL
ANSWER: Let me urge you io go on and finish school. .You will regret it as long as you live if you do not do this. You will always feel that you threw away an opportunity that you could have enlqid sod if you ever have to seek a job you will find lit a serious handiclf to be obliged to admit that you are not even a high school graduate.
As to what your'friends will think of you if you marry at 18. M need have no doubt. They will think you very foolish and very viii- ful. They will think that a girl allows very little intelligence WM she marries before she is old enough to know her own mind and befoii she has seen anything of men or the world.
"'0 marry in order to get away from an unhappy home Ll 113' Jumping from the frying pan into the fire. it may get you out of on!
