But the point of looking backward
is not simply to guard against smug- people stubbornly ignore economic-
ness. History can be sobering with-
out being somber.
No one needs to be reminded that
today we have come through a very
large boom, fed at least in part by
inflation. There are right now many
pressures to keep the inflation going
and make it bigger. So one might
fear that history would repeat itself.
Yet, paradoxically, this fear can be
encouraging. Since the lesson of his-
tory is that busts are caused by the
wild excesses of the preceding boom,
experience offers a way to avoid re-
peating the experience.
And here the hopeful thing is that
businessmen are not neglecting cau-
tion in handling inventory and ex-
pansion plans. The stock market
certainly shows no signs of a specu-
lative orgy. The Reserve Board, for
all its troubles, has not been bereft of
friends because it has refused to spin
the credit boom faster. And politi-
cians have discovered that the pub-
lic is not unaware of the dangers of
big Government spending.
In short, one does not need to be a
Pollyana to see that a great many
people who make up the public—if
not all of them — are more know-
ledgeable these days about the causes
of depression than cynics might sup-
pose. It is not inevitable that people
will keep burning themselves on the
same stove.
It is just as foolish in ’57 as it was
in ’07 to say “it can’t happen here.”
Hints on Controlling
Household Pests
Venereal Disease
Reported on Rise
WASHINGTON—Venereal disease
is increasing throughout the nation,
for the first time in eight years but
a vaccine for syphilis is “a real pos-
sibility,” the Public Health Service
has told Congress.
Dr. A. C. Smith, chief of the serv-
ice’s venereal disease program, said
266,000 cases of syphilis and gon-
orrhea were reported last year.
He told a House appropriations
subcommittee in testimony taken
Feb. 15 and made public today that
increases were reported “in all areas
of the nation.”
Of the 126,219 syphillis cases re-
ported in 1956, Smith said New York
had 21,061—by far the largest state
total. Next highest was Ohio with
8,409, followed by California with
6,647 cases and Florida with 6,469.

Chevy proved it’s the champ in the world’s first Auto
Decathlon, certified by the NATA.* It showed how
beautifully it handles, how quickly it recovers from
emergency situations—like quick turns and stops—
which can cause a car to lose its even-keel stance on
the road.
Chevy waltzed through some of the roughest
challenges ever laid down to measure how a car
behaves when the going is tough.
And it beat all other cars in its
field and all the higher priced
cars tested, too!
That’s Chevrolet’s sure and
solid going for you. Come in and
drive the winner!

Quite a number of us can remem-
ber the troubles of 1929. Not so
many recall the panic of 1907. And
even fewer have recollections of the
debacle of 1893.
But hindsight gives us all now a
clearer vision of what happened than
anybody had at the time. On the eve
of the 1907 collapse a magazine was
reassuring the public because of the
“phenomenal increase of our econom-
ic strength, the coordination of
American industry since 1899, the es-
tablishment of the gold standard of
currency and, more particularly, the
great apd concentrated resources of
our banks.” And there are prophets
still living who are haunted by their
bold words of 1929.
The hindsight, as Reserve Board
Chairman Martin told the New York
Economic Club the other day, lets us
see that in each instance the battle
against these great deflations was lost
before ’93, ’07 or ’29.

body—spread and grow rapidly when
antibiotics are used to kill germs.
The fungi have less competition as
germs are killed, and spread to cause
new trouble.
Malucidin hits this kind of fungus
growth, Dr. Parfentjev and Dr. Whit-
ney said.
Dr. Whitney found the drug very
effective in clearing up fungus skin
diseases in dogs.
In rabbits and pigeons, it knocks
out an intestinal parasite, coccidiosis,
and at the same time controlled bac-
teria that often cause blood poison-
ing concurrently with the intestinal
infection.
Could. Help Childi-en
The drug shows an unusual pre-
ventive of prophylacic effect. Even
after being given very small doses,
mice became resistant to certain in-
fections for weeks and months.
And the drug may become an anti-
allergy boon. It appears to be pble
to de-sensitize animals made sensi-
tive or allergic to protein materials.
Such proteins are often a cause of
human allergies.
Possibly it could protect children
who, for unknown reasons, become
allergic to whooping cough vaccine.
Some become sensitized by the first
shot, and then get severe reactions
from the second or third shot, or
seemingly become easier prey to in-
fections.
Mice made sensitive to whooping
cough vaccine were de-sensitized by
as little as a hundredth of a milli-
gram of the antibiotic—about
three-millionth of an ounce.
How the drug acts to control the
allergic reaction or how effective it
may be for humans are targets
contionuing studies.
f CHEVROLET
Each of these famous dates was
preceded by a wave of speculative
activity. Money was “easy.” Confi-
dence was unbounded. People rushed
to obtain more goods and services
than were available. If you didn’t
have it, borrow it. Was not this too
great and growing a country to be
harmed by a little deflation?
And of course anyone who offered
a word of caution was against prog-
ress. Anyone who tried to slow
things down was an obstructionist.
Things were “different” in ’07 from
’93. And by ’29 hadn’t the banking
system been improved, and wasn’t
the economy sounder and stronger,
than in ’07?
Of course there is an obvious mor-
al in this comparison. Mr. Martin’s
reminder is sobering: “Most of the
economic crises in our history have
similarly come—which should teach
us to beware of smugness and com-
placency.”

NEW HAVEN.—A new antibiotic drugs hit them effectively. One
from yeast is showing amazing power particular thorny problem is that cer-
against all kinds of germs and fungi, tain fungi—normally existing in the
and even holds promise of knocking
out some allergies.
So widespread is its action that it’s
been named malucidin—meaning in
Batin, destroyer of evil.
Human studies with it are just be-
ginning. It will take time to learn
its ultimate value in treating human
afflictions.
But in animals, malucidin has
knocked out many kinds of germ and
fungus infections. A tiny dose has
kept mice resistant or immune to cer-
tain infections for one to four months.
In animals, too, it shows promise of
overcoming or suppressing allergic
reactions. It might become a treat-
ment for controlling hay fever and
other allergies.
History of Yeast
Malucidin was discovered by Dr.
Ivan A. Parfentjev, research asso-
ciae in microbiology, Yale Universi-
ty Medical School. Many of the ani-
mal tests have been carried out by
Dr. Leon F. Whitney, veterinarian
and clinical instructor in pathology,
and Dr. Rosty Arch, bacteriologist.
The antibiotic is obtained from
Brewer’s yeast after it has been fer-
mented.
Dr. Parfentjev found it while seek-
ing an anti-allergy drug. There are
no known allergies caused by yeast,
he explained, and for 2,000 years,
since the time of Hippocrates, yeast
has been thought to contain some
anti-infectious agent.
Numerous yeast extracts have been
tried as drugs in the past, but with
equivocal results. Dr. Parfentjev re-
cently isolated a yeast protein which
may be the answer.
It kills or stops the growth of ail
kinds of bacteria and fungi, he said.
Hits Fungus Growth
Fungus infections are becoming
more and more troublesome, and few
COLLEGE STATION. — Seldom
can one observe a home and its sur-
roundings without finding some form
of insect life. That’s the test of a new
leaflet compiled by extension entom-
ologists offering today’s best control
measures for household pests.
Certain pests may be found outside
and controlled before they enter the
home, say the specialists. Some pests
live entirely within the home, how-
ever, and must be controlled by ap-
plying insecticidal sprays or dusts in-
side the dwelling.
Entomologists say insect activity
changes from season to season. While
some feed on fabrics, contaminate
food, or attack dwellings, others bite
humans, carry diseases, or cause in-
fections. Sanitation and good house-
keeping are usually effective in con-
trolling or preventing most of these
nuisances. But even the best-kept
homes sometimes become infested,
point out the entomologists, and re-
quire more direct action. Many
types of sprayers and dusters de-
signed for use in controlling house-
hold pests are now on the market.
This new bulletin classifies all ma-
jor pests except the termite into spe-
cific categories relating to type of
damages. Illustrations, descriptions
and summaries of common habits
supplement clear, concise control
measures listed for each insect.
Some cautions listed by the spe-
cialists concerning application of oil
solutions include: never spray near
pilot lights or other open flames;
don’t apply directly to the skin of
humans or pets and always allow
sprayed surfaces to dry before touch-
ing them to prevent smears. Read
the manufacturers’ labels on all in-
secticides and follow directions to the
letter. Store out of children’s reach
and label home mixtures.
The “Texas Guide for Controlling
Household Insects” is available from
your county extension agent or the
Agricultural Information Office at
College Station. Ask for Bulletin
L-311.
