Serum Helps Scientist Stricken With Parrot Fever NG Microbe Hunter Thought Dying on Coast Improv- ing, He Reports. Dr. E. H. Hasseltine, microbe hunter of the United States Department of Public Health, who was stricken with psittacosis and was thought dying in the Marine Hospital at San Francisco, is rapidly recovering after being given a serum made from the blood of two of his friends in Washington. The serum was rushed to California after it had been made by scientists of the Public Health Service here. It ‘was made from a quart of blood do- nated by Drs. Charles Armstrong and Edward Francis, both of whom had suffered with parrot fever. Two telegrams from Dr. Hasseltine i himself Saturday and Sunday an- nounced to the Health Service officials here that he is fast recovering. The telegram Sunday was addressed to Dr, 8, L. Christian of the Public Health Service. Asked if any progress had been made in the development of a serum for the cure of the fever through the treatment of Dr. Hasseltine, officlals of the Health Service said further research would be necessary before they would be able to say. They ex- pect, however, that Dr. Hasseltine will have some announcement as soon as he is fully recovered.

REIN) STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1935. WooDWARD & LoTHROP I0™ 1™ F aAND G STREETS PHonNE DistricT 5300 Under the Surface are the ‘Hidden Values' of Fine Furniture A seemingly simple thing is the mortised joint. Yet each tongue must be carefully cut to fit into its slot. Then hot glue is applied and the joint must be locked in a strong clamp for from twelve to twenty-four hours. WHEN you buy furniture you buy design, finish, ap- pearance . . .and construction. You can see design; You canseefinish. But construction—good or bad—is down underneath and invisible. Like the steel girders that sup- port the building’s beautiful facade (and without which the beauty of the facade could not exist), fineness in structural craftsmanship of fine furniture gives long life and satisfaction to its beauty. There is a creed among makers of fine furniture that banishes the use of the nail. And even the screw is something of an unwelcome item used very sparingly and only under protest. Nails do not hold fast over the years and are unsightly as well. Fine furni- ture artisans use only wooden dowels, little wooden pegs which are fitted perfectly into the holes bored to re- ceive them. Good furniture starts with well cured and properly dried wood. Freshly cut lumber must be both air dried and kiln dried to just the right degree. Too much moisture, and the furniture made from such wood will dry out in the heat of the home, chair legs will loosen, dresser drawers will become ill-fitting, joints will give way. Too little moisture and absorption will take place later in the life of the furniture ...then will come warping table tops, dresser drawers that become too large and stick, joints that swell and give way. Another short cut which is not toler- ated in the making of fine furniture is the nailed-over back for chests, buf- fets, dressers and the like. Just as like as not the nailed-over back is apt to curl into a figure eight sooner or later. Backs must be accurately fitted into the side and tops, into grooves made to receive them, then glued and fastened with wooden dowels. The backs then become one with the piece. But even perfectly cured lumber can- not entirely insure smooth sliding drawers. Down underneath the drawer there must be a very important little slide, fitting perfectly into an equally important groove. Thus it is that a drawer either slides out and in with- out the slightest side movement (and without the slightest exasperation) or wabbles from side to side sticking midway on its trip. Structural values are ““hidden values.” The purchaser cannot know that they exist . .or even more important, when they do not. Only the integrity of the seller protects him. Knowledge of furni- ture values acquired through years of experience, the resources to allow for the free exercise of that knowledge, combined with a realization of the responsibility a respected name places upon an insti- tution, constitute the factor upon which Woodward % Lothrop customers can depend.
