SHARP DUST PARTICLES ‘HOOK’ THER WAY INTO MEMBRANES AND DISEASE RESULTS Science Tell* Why Some Trades, Dry Sweeping and Mo toring on Certam iHighways" Are Dangerous to Health in Bringing on Respiratory Maladies. T Cro»E-Section of Humtn Head Showing Mucoua Membrane of Note and Throat. S CIENTIFIC research Is gradual ly finding out why dust kills one out of every seven persons. The Harvard Medical School, the United States Public Health Service, various Insurance companies and the great labor organizations of the coun try are all interested in the problem. For example, according to Dr. L. R. Thompson, of the United States Pub lic Health Service, the sickness record of granite workers shows that the greater part of illness proceeds from respiratory conditions and that respir atory diseases are three t'mes as prev alent among granite workers as among workers In general Industry. “It is clear,” said Dr. Thompson, “that wherever there Is a great amount of granite dust there Is a dan gerous hazard, a mortality which seems Inevitable and which is rising all the time.” Incidentally, according to Federal statistics, from 4.500,000 to 5,000,000 persons are enydoyed in the dusty trade, but everyone, from the man who fears “dry sweeping” by house wives on their front steps to the mo torist who must find his way through clouds of dust on the highway, Is af fected by the menace of fine particles in the air. Various theories have been proposed to explain why dust should be such a danger to health. The usual explana tion seeks the cause In the tenderness Of the mucous membrane lining of the throat and noee. Healthy, throats and noses secrete * fluid, the mucus, which Is just suffi cient to take care of on. -ry dust In the air. If that amount should be ex ceeded, the dust becomes too great to be handled by the mucus and the dust penetrates Into the deeper parts of the body lining. Dust Is of various kinds, but wheth er It Is organic or Inorganic in origin makes no difference. What makes the dust particles dangerous is their shape. Particles that have sharp cor ners, such as dust from marble, metal, wood or stone, cut Into the membrane very mudh as an old-fashioned knitting needle cuts Into worsted and there the dust particles become fastened. The mucus fluid referred to passes over those particles, moving them to and fro, and causing the membrane to become tender and then Inflamed. Should tha prof ss become continu ous, as so often happens, serious sinus conditions result and In aggravated case's, tuberculosis may be their termi nation. That, in brief, is what happens. Scientists have tried with all the resources at their command to com bat dust In the air, but so far, with a few exceptions, the results have not been fruitful. As a means of preven- tion, suggestions have been made in various quarters that the dust mteht he laid wits some sort of physical or chemical means and In many sections of the United States municipalities have been laying the dust with cal cium chloride. That is a chemical capable of absorbing a high degree of moisture from the air, hygroscopic. It Is called, which acts as a hinder of dust on the highways. It also has great germicidal value. Little Boy Suffers Concussion of Brain Bunyan Morris, Jr., eleven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Morris, is home this morning convalescing after J a most unusual experience. Young Bunyan suffered a concussion of the brain Saturday afternoon and. has been in the Orangeburg hospital until Wednesday night. The Morris family were en route to Barnwell Saturday when Bunyan<com- plained of a headache. He was given some medicine to relieve the head ache, when later, while nearing Orangeburg, he was found to be in a comatose state. Bunyan was un able to recognize his parents, and was otherwise in a cdfnplete stupor. Nothing was known of what was the trouble until it was discovered that there was a “lump” on his head. An examination' revealed that it was a concussion of the brain, and Bunyan was immediately taken to the Orangeburg hospital. Later the fact became known that Bunyan, while playing in front of the home in St. Matthews, had fallen and his head struck a sharp edge of the cement sidewalk.—The Calhoun Times. At a luncheon for Senator Curtis held »t East Providence, R. I., the oratory took up exactly 95 seconds. And yet there was probably as much said as is usually said at political luncheons!
