Pills worked

too well

READING, Pa.@UPD - A
woman who gained national
attention three years ago by
feeding birth control pills to
her house plants says she is
now withholding the hor-
mone diet because the fast-
growing plants bothered her
allergies.

Margaret Schlegel, 78, of

Reading, said her 33 house
plants “grew like wild” on
her thrice-monthly solution
of three birth control pills
dissolved in a bucket of
water.

“I stopped a while ago
because the plants were just
getting too big,” Mrs.
Schlegel said Wednesday.

atural childbirth —

the hospital way

‘Janet Spencer King,
editor-in-chief of Mothers’
Manual magazine, says there
are important and in-
teresting benefits accruing to
couples who opt for the use
of a hospital birthing room,
rather than a conventional
delivery room.

Just what birthing rooms
are — why hospitals in city
after city are installing them,
and who should use them —
is the subject of an in-depth
report in the May/June issue
of Mothers’ Manual.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -
The Tobacco Institute says a
mathematical error makes
invalid a Japanese study that
found wives of cigarette
smokers were more likely to
develop lung cancer than
wives of non-smokers.

The association of U-S.
cigarette manufacturers
quoted a memorandum from
Professor Nathan Mantel of
the Biostatistics Center at
George Washington
University saying that a
whole number, instead of its
square root, was wrongly
used at an important point in
the calculations.

“Much more careful
analysis of the data would be
needed before it can be
claimed that a passive effect
of smoking has been clearly
established,’ concluded
Mantel, co-developer of the

test for Statistical
Significance used in the
study.

response to a couple’s need
for a way to further enhance
natural childbirth.

Dr. Thomas Kerenyi,
former Chief of Obstetrics at
Mt. Sinai Hospital in New
York City — whose birthing
room opened in 1979 — told
the magazine: “More and
more consumers felt that
hospital institutions were
impersonal, regimented and
not family oriented.

“At first these liberal,

corrected,” said the  in-
stitute, “there is not a
generally accepted level of
statistical significance.”

“I must tell you that we
regard this discovery of an
arithmetical error very
grave,” Tobacco itute
Chairman Horace Kormegay
said in a telegram to Japan's
National Cancer Center
Research Institute, a
sponsor of the study.

Dr. Takeshi Hirayama of
the institute reported Jan. 17
in the British Medical
Journal that his research
showed wives of heavy
smokers had a higher risk of
developing lung cancer than
wives of non-smokers.

Hirayama said he found a

statistically significant
relationship between the
amount the husbands

smoked and the mortality
from cancer of their non-
smok ing wives.

There are many dif-
ferences and _ physical
variations in hospital's
outset,” Kornegay said:

“Their concern has been
confirmed by the discovery
of an arithmetical error in
Dr. Hirayama’s paper which
invalidates his claim of a
high level of statistical
significance.”

Kornegay said Dr. Alvan
Feinstein of Yale University
and Dr. Chris Tsokos of the
University of South Florida
verified Mantel’s finding.

“Dr.

widely reported in the U.S.
news media,” Kornegay
said. “As a result, many
people may have been
misled and unduly alarmed,
and in some instances this
report was used to support
legislation for smoking bans
and other restrictions.

“We hope this case will
serve as an example of the
need for careful review of
scientific work before
findings are reported and
