Husbands Stay At Home While Wife Travels In Africa By DOROTHY ROE AP Women’s Editor The next time you hear a mar- ried man expound that ‘women’s place is in. the home,” you might point to certain husbands in Equa- torial Africa as true examples of modern enlightenment. These broadminded. gents let their wives go off globe-trotting for a year while they stay home and mind the children. Two young matrons from Ugan- da are among a group of 20 na- tive leaders from all over the world who are in the United States to study YWCA techniques in va- rious communities. The two emancipated Ugandese are Mrs. Rebecca Mulira, mother of five children, the youngest an infant- buka, who has four children. Both say their husbands practically pushed them on the plane, promis- | ing to take good care of the small | fry while they are away.

She was so obviously the sort of person men would spoil, and she would take anything that was of- fered to her with a little self-con- sciousness or pride-as a child. In- deed one could. imagine her valu- ing any gift— lollypop or diamond earrings—with equal enthusiasm, “I got down on my luck. Couldn’t get a job. It’s sometimes hard being pretty.” She was sud- denly serious, “Men, will make asses at you, and managers don’t Fike it, and other girls are jeglous.’ She sighed. “I figured I’ better really find my mom, but when I did, she'd left for Europe wit Mario and Joe. A guy there lent me my fare, and here I am. She's going to be mad at me, though. *T think I had better go and tell your mother you're here.” Gina swung her feet to the floor and sat up, hunching! her shoul- ders despondently. “I guess so. Anyway, she can’t send me back now. I'm too old. I needn’t go un- less I want to.” Anthea said, “I'm sure she'll be glad to see you.” She went to the French window and out to the garden. Bianca had finished her beans, and was stand- ing near the fence, apparently ex- amining the fruit trees that grew there, When Anthea called she turned sarply, thrusting her hands into her apron pockets, and some thing moved behind the fence, as someone moved away. .Anthea frowned, a little puzzled. It seemed curious to her that her mother, who would never meet Mario or Joe, should often gossip with Killer Virus Is Son’s Custody ‘LOS ANGELES % — Joe Di- Maggio wants full custody of his li-year-old .son.or at least more opportunity to visit the boy.

Mary Howard Bianca. She always denied it, or made some excuse about giving her flowers, but once or twice An- thea, coming unexpectedly into the garden, had found them talk- ing. She said quickly, thinking it was better to come straight to the point, “There’s someone to ‘see ‘ou in the sitting room, Bianca. it’s your daughter, Gina.” IANCA stared, and then went so white that Anthea moved quickly to her side, thinking she was going to faint. She brushed aside Anthea’s profered hand, and without a word went past her, down the garden, and through the French windows into the sitting room, There was a long silence, then a rush of Italian, bubbling, ate, then Gina’s voice saying plain- tively, “I don’t understand a word you're saying. Mama. Speak Eng- lish. And don’t ask me to explain. because I shan’t. And don’t'tell me to go back, because I won’t.” Bianca was silent, suddenly en- folding her daughter in’ hungry arms, the tears pouring down her face. Gina wriggled uncomfort- ably, but permitted herself to be hugged and kissed and wept over with moderately good grace. “My baby! My little one, my bad little pretty one. You are so naughty to run away.” “Well, I'm twenty mow. I guess Tm old enough to do gs I like. You should never have put me in that place. I was bored stiff.” “It _has been so Tonely without you. I have wanted you so often, so often. But I always think, with the good sisters she is safe and happy.” ¥ Gina made a little face at An- thea over her mother’s shoulder, her heavy-lidded eyes alight with Described; ANN ARBOR, Mich.?—A virus so deadly that one ten-billionth of a drop will kill rats is the center of a fiction-like revelation from the University of Michigan labora- tories. | The virus, whose effect on human beings is unknown, was first dis- feovered in 1909 by Dr. Frederick G. Novy, the university’s famed bacteriologist. The virus, so deadly that it killed a set of experimental rats every 48 to 72 hours, was watched closely for 10 years. In a change of labora- ‘tory persoanel. sometime after |World War I, the test tubes con- taining the virus were lost. Late in 1951, during a “‘house- cleaning”’ session in the lab, an old 25 test tubes, was found. Dr. Novy, corrugated paper box, containing | amusement. She was irresistibly pretty, and quite untouched by her mother’s simnple love. “I don’t know about happy, but safe is right enough. No girl wants to be as safe’as all that. You might just as well be in your grave.” Gina wriggled her shoulders free from Bianca's ardent embrace, and dropped down on the seat in an exhausted manner. _ “But what have you been do- ing?” Bianca's face was suddenly white with suspicion. She touched the fur coat, and her black eyes went to the sparkling stones in Gina’s ears. “You have been a 500d girl? yes?” “Yes, yes, and yes,” said Gina emphat: “As good as gold. Don’t have such low-down suspicions. That's a cheap fur coat, and the earrings are glass.” Anthea realized with a start that she had ben standing, watch- ing and listening, as though to a play, and that she had no right to do so. She turned quickly, and went through the side entrance to her own home, smiling a little rue- fully. As she went upstairs Marian’s bedroom door was open, and Ma- rian was doing her hair before the mirror. Anthea suddenly re- membered her mother had been talking to Bianca, She would have liked to have asked her about it, but felt it would be intrusive. She was going to pass on to her own room, when her mother called her. “What time are you going out, Anthea?” “About seven thirty. After din- ner, anyway.” “You'll have dinner with your father then? I’m going into town to the movies with Mrs. Prentis.” “Of course.” (To be continued) {potency during the third of a cen- tury, the virus still killed 75 per cent of the laboratory rats in three to 11 days. Dr. Novy immediately set to work and is now completing a compre- hensive report on the micro-organ- ism from laboratory notes origin- ally made ver 40 years ago. When the virus originally was \discovered, laboratory assistants j were charged every third day with taking blood from a batch of dying rodents and infecting healthy spec- imens. The routine that lasted more than 10 years, was thought imecessary to keep the virus alive. The heavy pressure of research jand teaching prevented Dr. Novy from freely investigating the spec- “en, And ja the personnel change, ithe infected rats were allowed to jdie and the tubes were lost.
