THE BATH
Fake Medical
Device Foetid
Useless Here
Faculty and staff members of
the Department of Electrical Engi
neering have checked a machine
and declared it useless it per
forming its supposedly primary
purpose — detecting cancer, cata
racts, arthritis and hardening of
the arteries from urine specimens.
According to department head
Dr. Glen D. Hallmark the machine
was being used by a naturopath
who has since been declared phony
by state Attorney General Will
Wilson.
Wilson’s ruling on the naturo
path, one of several in the state
accused of malpractice, followed
a IT. S. District Coui't ruling al
lowing prosecution for practicing
medicine without meeting qualifi
cations of the Medical Practices
Act.
Wilson called the decision “a
valuable tool with which the people
of Texas can fight uneducated
charlatans and quacks who prey
on unfortunate people when they
have troubles.”
Other examples of malpractice
include sending catnip, parsley
and Strawberry leaf tea through
the mail and offering a non-exist
ent course in a California school on
psychiatric treatment.

FROM RESEARCH HERE
Highway Signs
May Be Improved
Improvements in highway direc
tion signs are the objective of a
traffic engineering research pro
ject currently underway in the
Texas Transportation Institute
at A&M.
The project is sponsored by the
Texas Highway Department in co
operation with the Bureau of Pub
lic Roads and being conducted by
Donald E. Cleveland, assistant re
search engineer.
Basically, it is concerned with
the effects of roadway illumination
at intersections upon sign legibili
ty and upon traffic response to
high-type signing.
With the further development of
the National System of Interstate
and Defense Highways, there is an
increased need for signs of high
est standard so that drivers can re-
cogflize q,nd read signs at sufficient
distances to make necessary trans
itions smoothly and safely at high
speeds.
Many parts of the 41,000-mile
system will have roadway lighting,
particulai’ly at interchanges with
important federal and state routes
and with major urban streets.

In the Texas A. and M. research
field studies are being conducted
on Texas highways, and controlled
experiments are in progress at a
specially constructed campus test
site. The studies involve all com
monly used overhead signing ma
terials, including an internally il
luminated sign.
Test vehicles with both two-
lamp and four-lamp headlight sys
tems are driven down the test
course under a variety of illumin
ation conditions, including in addi
tion to the different luminaire posi
tions, the effect of high versus
low beams and of the presence or
absence of opposing lights on a
vehicle moving toward the test
auto.
Results to date indicate that a
driver operating his headlights on
high beams gains little added ad
vantage from luminaires located in
front of the sign. However, for
the m'ore common low-beam opera
tion a substantial improvement in
legibility is noted when the lumin
aire 'is located in front of the sign.
This fmprpvement in sight distance
would give the driver several extra
seconds to make decisions and to
maneuver. ‘
Daniel Cites Use
Of Safety Belts
■
Governor Thjice 1 Daniel said re
cently that activities of numerous
statewide or’ffanizatibns during re-
centj nipnth?. bad brought about a
majdr ’increase in public interest
and public use of kaffety belts in
automobiles. I '\
The governo^ welcomed five
members of the Victoria Junior
Chamber of Commerce, who called
at his office to tell him of their
campaign and to request his ap
proval of their plans for a seat
belt sales campaign in the Vic
toria area.
The Governor told the Victorians
that Junior Chamber of Commerce
groups “had been among the most
active of the many civic organiza
tions in Texas who have been urg
ing their members, as well as the
driving public, to use seat belts
to protect themselves against in
jury or death in traffic.”
Governor Daniel said the Tex
as Federation of Women’s Clubs
had been among the leaders in the
seat belt campaign in Texas dur
ing the past year, cooperating with
the General Federation in Wash
ington.
“They tell me their acident re
ports indicate that 500 lives could
“They tell me their accident re
in 1961 alone if drivers and front-
seat passengers, in particular, had
been wearing seat belts. This would
have reduced the 1961 Texas traf
fic toll by nearly one-fowrth. Seat
belts are much cheaper than hospi
tal bills, car repair bills and human
misery.”
