Drug Is 25 Times
As Effective As
Quinine Treatment
DETROIT (UP)—A new drug
un to 25 times as effective as
quinine in treating malaria vic-
tims was announced by Parke,
Davis & Company.
Dr. E. A. Sharp, director of
Clinical investigation for the
company, said the new drug,
Camoquin, was “unsurpassed as
an anti-malarial.”
More than 13 per cent of the
earth’s population suffer from
malaria each year, Dr. Sharp
said, describing it as the world’s
worst disease.
Parke Davis began work on
camoquin during World War II,
but the company said the office
of research and development,
“overlooked it.”
Dr. Sharp said field studies in
India, the Philippines, Brazil,
Haiti and Bolivia "indicate that
camoquin is the most efficient
anti-malarial in use at the pres-
ent time.
Single doses of the new drug
“appear to have more favorable
results,” but Dr. Sharp said
Camoquin can be taken by
adults three times a day for five
days without danger because of
its low toxicity.
Softly Leaders Urging Caution
For July Fourth Holiday Driver
tiff:
THE HOSE HEADED FOR HADES—Whooping it up at a mud-pie party on a vacant lot in
Washington, O. C., these kiddies had a strange tussle with a garden hose that insisted on going
underground. Jammed in a hole and turned on, the hose was caught in its own suction and just
kept digging. Unable to pull it out, one of the four-year-olds ran to tell his mother, “The devil's
got it.” After police and photographers tried, two husky men were able to out-pull “the devil.”

WHARVES GUARDED
HOUSTON (UP)—Port Direc-
tor W. F. Heavey, in an extra-
ordinary peace-time step, has
ordered wharves police to move
immediately against possible
sabotage at the sprawling Port
facilities here.
Heavey announced that special
police were “to search all cars
for inflammatory materials and
bombs,” and should “approach
suspicious characters with pis-
tols drawn."
CHICAGO—“Don’t make your
steering wheel a wheel of
chance—because you bet your
life!”
That advice came from the
National Safety Council as the
nation approached the Fourth of
July holiday, one of the most
dangerous periods of the year.
With traffic fatalities on the
increase this year—up 9 per pent
so far—the Council is coordinat-
ing a nationwide campaign to
hold down the usual upsurge in
Independence Day accidental
deaths. One hundred and sixty-
three national organizations, as
well as state and city public
officials, are cooperating in the
effort.
Last Fourth of July almost 700
persons were killed by accidents
of all kinds during the three-day
holiday. Many more died later
as the result of injuries received
during the celebration. Traffic-
accidents were the chief killer,
alone accounting for about 300
deaths.
The Council expects more
pleasure-seeking motorists to
pile into more cars and roll up
more miles on this holiday and
the weekend preceding it than
ever before in the country’s his-
tory. For many it will be a four-
day vacation. More than 36 mil-
lion motor vehicles will be on
the move.
The increasing number of new
cars on the road and the substan-
tial rise in gasoline consumption
this year indicate a heavy death
toll — unless everyone is fully
aware of the holiday hazards and
makes a real effort to avoid
them.
“Holidays are hazard days,"
said Ned H. Dearborn, president
of the Council. “When you take
a chance on the highway you are
gambling — and the stakes are
human lives. You can’t afford
to lose in this game.
"Police and those who have
authoritative control over public
safety will be especially alert
and vigorous in their enforce-
ment of sane rules of public lie-
havior. But they ain’t police
every mile of every highway.
The individual must police him-
self.
“if everyone would keep in
mind the words ‘Take It Easy on
the Fourth — Be Alive on the
Fifth,’ this Fourth of July would
bring much less tragedy and
more pleasure.”
Among the outsize wildlife
now extinct are the dinosaur,
the moa, the great auk and the
dodo.
Northwest Seeks
Texas Gas line
HOUSTON (UP)—Application
to build a $200,000,000 natural gaa^)
pipeline connecting Houston
with the Pacific Northwest waa
announced here by the Pacific
Northwest Pipe Line Corpora-
tion.
Robert R. Herring, president,
said the company has asked the
Federal Power Commission in
Washington for permission to

ing from here to industrial areas^

The new corporation, with

ity estimated at 350,000,000 cubic

iginate in the Gulf Coast gas

Texas and the Panhandle fieidsVv
and then will cut across the*'
Rocky Mountains into the Pa-
cific Northwest.
