Whooping cough
Warning Given ;
By Dr. Palmquist
Almost half of all deaths from;
whooping cough occur in children
sewn months old and younger, Dial
Palmquist. Seattle City Health;
Commissioner, declared today. He‘
urged mothers to have their chil-l‘
dren vaccinated early enough to;
give them protection through this
most dangerous period.
Favorable reports have been ru
ceived on the practice of vaccin
ating as early as three months.
particularly when reinforced by an
other vaccination within a year.
Dr. Palmquist said. The former
practive of vaccinating after six
months of age gives reliable pro
tection; he said, but does not shield
the baby during the most danger
ous period, since immunity takes
about a month to develop.
Whooping cough is spread by
contact with infected persons. or
with articles freshly soiled by
them. It usually begins with a
slight fever and symptoms of a
catarrhal condition of the nose and
throat, and a? the disease pro
gresses the cough develops a char
acteristic whoop.
During the month or December.
said the Commissioner, 33 new
cases were reported in Seattle.
making an approximate total of
246 cases for the year 1945.
Vaccinatioon against whooping
cough has been shown to be of
definite value in its prevention.
according to Dr. Palmquint. who
advises all parents whose chil
dren have not had the disease to
consult their doctors about im
munization.

Stone Research Institute Established
During the war many new in
stitutions for technico-scicntific
research have been established in
Sweden. The latest addition is an
institution for investigations into
stone material called the Swedish
Stone Industry Research Institute.
The new institute. which will
closely collaborate with the Gov—
ernment Material Testing Insti
tute in Stockholm. is the first of
its kind in Sweden to specialize in
research into various species of
stone and their qualities as build
ing material. Swedish stone has
has gained a good name for its
beauty and fine quality. Through:
a scientific and methodical re-.
search it is hoped to be able to find;
new uses for this material, of‘
which Swedeen has practically in-j
exhaustible supplies. The work‘
of the institute will not only be ofi
importance to the Swedish build-l
ing industry but also to the manyJ
foreign importers of Swedish!
stone. 1
The new institute is owned by
the Swedish quarrying; industries
and the costs will chiefly be de
frayed by them, while the govern
ment will place funds at disposal
for certain kinds of research work.
The Stone Industry ' Research
Institute is situated in the neigh
borhood of the University of Tech
nology in Stockholm, where a
veritable “City of Science" has
grown up during the war years.
Among these new institutions are
