Rosa tells her father she is pregnant at about the same time that Oldsmith makes a formal request for her hand in marriage. "What!" splutters the indignant father.

In an epidemic of food poisoning by salmonella in Sioux City, Iowa, it was not the microbe but its means for spreading infection that had to be tracked...
