sW0men's realm Princess Elizabeth's advisers about whom English newspapers have been inquiring, are two men, both soldiers, who help the Princess to plan her public life and look after the arrangemen-. One is l..leut.- General Sir Frederick Browning. 54-year-old Airborne commander who led his troops at Arnheim and won the D.S.O. in the first war while still in his teens. He is Comp- troller of the Princess's household at Clarence House. The other is Major the Hon. Martin Charteris, aged or, of the King's Royal Rifle Corps, who served as an Intellig- ence Officer in Palestine during the war. He is the Princess's pri- vate secretary. Sir FrederickBroiv- ing was appointed at the personal request of the King. He used to be Chief of Staff in South-East Asia to Lord Mountbatten. ' AA44.A.AA.A-Ob-O-O6-QC! He took up his duties in Febru- ary, 1948. A special bridge, which has been nicknamed Browning's Bridge, has been built to connect his house in Ambasador's Court with Clarence House. Major Char- tcris took up his duties in January last year. His appointment came .' as a surprise. For he is a high- spirited young man, and a com- plete contrast to the elegant, pre- cise John Rupert Colville who fill- ". ed the post before him. He is an old Etonian. His brother is Lord Wemyss. Both men are husbands and fathers themselves. They sym- pathise with the Princess's desire to see as much as possible of her. husband. l 1 ......--....;n 0 C l Sir Frederick Browning's wife is novelist Daphne du Maui-icr. who lives in a huge house near Fowev. in Cornwall, with their two daugh- ters and son. Major Charteria is married to the second daughter of Lord Marquesson, the former War Minister. They were married Jerusalem in i944 and they have three young children-two sons and a a daughter. The youngest son was born in the United States in Jan- uary last year. Mrs. Charterls was visiting her mother, and Major Charteris flew over to be with her before taking up his present ap- pointment. The Duke of Edinburgh. husband of Princess Elizabeth, arrived in London by plane Saturday night from Rome. where he had stayed i over to play a polo game. The Princess left for home early last gwcek at the conclusion of the -Royal couple's Italian visit. . 0 .

LABORATORY RESEARCH WORKERS HELP TO PEO- MOTE HEALTH AND PREVENT DISEASE I sometimes wonder if. as a peo- ple. we place the real value of the enorta of our research laboratory workers in promoting health and overcoming disease as high as we should. It is fortunate, indeed, that today "specialists" in re- search work are being recognized or such and funds to provide a liv- ing for these specialists are avail- able and should continue to in- crease. Dr. William Burrows. professor of bacteriology at the University of Chicago. gives some interesting information on epidemic diseases. "The ability to create epidemics among laboratory animals in order to understand the nature of dis- ease better is one of the great strides made by the modem mic- robe hunters." Laboratory epidemics among mice have told scientists about the nature of such human epidemics as measles. which seems to run in cycles of three years. and diph- therla. which has a cycle of nine years. The reason that epidemics of such diseases rise and fall is not because the organisms causing these diseases becomes less virul- ent (less poisonous) less danger- ous) in nghting human resistance as was previously thought but that newly susceptible individuals on- ter the population. ''In 20 or 30 months of labora- tory work. scientists have been able to create cycles of epidemics equal to those covering 30 years of human life. Their rescurch on mice -has shown that animals recover- lng from artificially epidemic dig- eases have ii life expectancy low. ered by about 15 per cent. On the other hand. mice previously im- munized against the disease (so that they did not develop these diseases) have an increased life Pxpectancy. Such research may show why immunization against infant diseases among hum.” contributes to longer life." sly: Dr. Burrows.
