Washington, May 16.—A new med ical weapon for preventing measles epidemics has been developed from a substance extracted from blood plasma given by volunteer donors in the Red Cross program, the War department disclosed today. The possibility was suggested that the same substance might provide means of fighting other contagious diseases, including diphtheria, scar let fever and typhoid fever. The material is a protein separated from blood plasma and known as “gama globulin.” Globulin obtained from the blood of persons who already have had measles contains so-called anti-bod ies against the disease. When inject ed into the muscles of a person who is exposed to measles the material wall, in most cases, prevent him from developing the sickness, the War department said.

The bride’s table beautiful Philadelphia, May 16. — A new , chemical compound, dithane, which when sprayed on the ground and ab- | sorbed by food producing plants ren- i dens them immune both to fungi and insect destruction, was announced to- [ day by Rohm and Haas company, Philadelphia chemical firm. j The rain - repellant, synthetic known until yesterday as “HE 175” has made possible potato yields run ning from 25 to 100 bushels more per acre than where plots were sprayed with other fungicides, com pany scientists who developed the organic fungicide said. Recent field tests in Florida and Texas showed that dithane not only acts as a repellant but actually kills certain insects. It can be used either as a spray or powder, plant chemists say, but is most effective as a spray. While fatal to both chewing and sucking insects it is harmless to plants and non-toxis to man.
