MEW DEVICE SAVES
BABES FROM IDIOCY
tins Skull of Fluid Pressing
on Brain.
Boston. Salvation for hahlea hither
to hopelessly doomed to Idiocy and ulti
mate early death because of hvdro-
kephalus Is the latest contribution to
surgical science of Dr. Tracy J. Put
nam, member of the denartment of
surgery and of neurology at Harvard
medical school, and child brain special
ist at Boston Children's hospital.
Hydrocephalus Is a condition found
In some Infanta wherehv unlnnl fluid
generated by tissues on the undersldeT
me Drain fall to drain properly and
thus "back UD" In the sknlL canainir
Tit to swell. (This t .ellln then nro-
I duces pressure on the thinking part of
line orain and destroys the brain tissue
j in this area, causing Idiocy. Normally,
I the fluid generated Is drained through
i the spinal column and absorbed by the
I DiOOd.
Doctor Putnam designed an Instru
ment which bores under the brain to
;the base of the skull and burns out all
but a small amount of the tissue which
generates the fluid.
He calls his brain-boring device a
"coagulating ventriculoscope." It con
sists of a thin glass tube with a pol
iished tip containing a tiny electric
iteht and two tiny wire electric cur
jrent. terminals, or electrodes, similar to
j the lower bar of an automobile spark
Plug.
1 The tube containing the tiny elec
tric light and the delicate electrodes
Is pushed through a hole In the skull
toward the center of the brain. When
the surgeon can see the fluid-producing
tissue Is directly at the Op of the
flptaument, the electric current Is
turned on and the tissue burned away,
j There Is a comparatively slight shock
Hkspite the "heroic" nature of the op
eration. Doctor Putnam has already operated
on seven cases, and has been success
ful in six. Two died, but from other
causes. The other four are now in
good health.

Intelligence of Dogs
Overrated, Says Artist
New York. Diana Thome, who has
drawn more than 5.000 i)am ntn ah
became a famous portrayer of these
anunais ror magazine covers, says most
dogs are not as clever as they are given
credit for being. At least a good many
of her models have been pretty dumb.
Beautiful but dumb, she insists.
Pat, for Instance. Pat had so much
"It" that neODle stnnriAil tn lnnlr of Mm
in the street but he liked all the wrong
tramps and bums, suspected the milk
man, barked at the gas Inspector and
chewed holes in the postman's trousers.

Pat, looking thoroughly pleased with

the robber was caught, he related that

The "maolo
chair" will
prove to be a
popular attraction.
COME people just naturally frown
" on the idea of doing anything un
usual or afferent, but be that as it
may, here's a suggestion for a new
kind of party. A "Snapshots at Night
Party" and the chances are It will be
(voted by those who are fortunate
enough to be Invited as an outstand
ing success.
To further add to the merriment
of the party you might have your
guests come in costume. Tell them
to come dressed as their favorite
movie star, some famous person of
history, a character from one of the
nursery rhymes, or, you might sim
plify the matter of costumes and
make it a regular "Kid Party." all
guests dressing as children.
Setting the stage for your Snap
shots at Night Party is very simple
and can be done before your guests
arrive. Here is what you do. Place a
chair in an out-of-the-way part of
the room so that it will not be dis
turbed by the guests as they arrive.
Close to the back and to the right of
the chair place a floor lamp so that
the light bulb Is about two feet from
the back of the chair. Now tilt the
shade slightly upward so that it will
throw the light directly over and
down on the shoulders and head of
the person sitting in the chair.
About three feet directly in front of
the chair place another floor lamp
with its shade tilted to throw the
light directly on the front of your
subject and chair. You now have
one floor lamp back of and to the
right of the chair and another one
three feet in front of the chair or
subject
With the lamps in this position
you will have to take the picture
from the side; so place your camera
on a table or some firm support at
a point where you can see all of your
subject in the finder. If you have a
folding camera with an f.6.3 lens
open it to this aperture and set the
shutter speed at 125 of a second.
With supersensitive panchromatic
film in your camera and two Photo
flood bulbs in the lamp facing the
subject and one in the lamp back of
the chair you are ready for the ar
rival of your guests and fascinating
indoor snapshots at night.
In placing your camera be sure
that neither of the lights shines di
rectly into the lens of the camera
or shows In your finder.
After your guests have arrived
lead them one by one to the "magic
chair," switch on the Photoflood
lamps, and snap you have the pic
ture. And you can count on much
merriment as each faces the camera.
Suppose you do not have a camera
with a lens as fast as .6.3. You can
have your party and take pictures
with any camera just the same. You
can take a short time exposure with
out any change in your set-up.
In taking either a snapshot at
night at 125 of a second or a time
exposure picture, caution your guest
not to move when the picture is
actually being taken.
You and your gueBts will have fun
at a Snapshots at Night party and
In turn you will have some highly
interesting pictures to enjoy look
ing at for many years to come.

Few Cases Tuesday
In Recorder Court
"It sort of scattered my ideas
when he hit me." said James Hardy.
colored prosecuteing witness in an
assault case in Kecorders Court on
Tuesday. Edward Welch, who struck
James in the face with his fist, was
taxed with the court costs in the
case.
Edward said he was looking for
liquor. James said that Edward was
peeping under. the house next door to
where he lives when he asked him
what he was looking for and Edward
struck him. James Hardy, who has
served one term on the roads for vio
lation of the liquor laws, said he
didn't have any liquor. Asked by
Judge Oakey if he had had any re
ports since James Hardy's return
from the roads that he was dealing
in liquor, Officer M. G. Owens said it
had been reported to him that James
was back in the business.
It was an off day in Recorder's
Court, with few cases coming up.

sent to the roads for thirty days for
violating the conditions of a recently
suspended sentence when he was for
bidden to go upon the premises where
Paulin Ryan lives. William Henry

was evidence to show that he wasn't
so drunk.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF
THURMAN WHEDBEE
It was one bright December morning
when Thurman Whedbee,
With a heart as light as a snowflake.
Left home another honest day's work
mi jnaae.
The boys i all met, together, and start
ed on to weir jod -
Not knowing that one of their
number
Would soon have to meet onr God.
In the woods they began their work,
And the second tree they sawed
i down-1 r-t ,." , t .. i,
C.nnirhk In tVlimh nt nnnfliM. -
And sent poor Thurman staggering
to the ground.
His fellow workers,
With hearts as heavy as lead,
Rushed to the spot
And found dear Thurman almost
dead.
They picked him up, oh, so gently,
And placed him in the car,
But the life of dear Thurman left
him
Before they had gone very far.
Thurman was a good boy,
Oh, so sweet and kind,
In all our community
Not a better boy you can find-
Dearest Thurman, you have left us,
In this toiling world below,
Waiting for the final summons
When we too must go.
Jesus came and took you
Who was so precious and so dear
No more we'll see your smiling face,
No more your sweet voice hear.
Your chair at home is vacant,
Your footsteps will be heard no more,
But we're praying God to meet you
On that bright Eternal shore.
In our community we miss
Your sunny smiles, your cheerful
voice,
But when we remember you are with
the angels
It makes our heart rejoice.
You'll be missed by your community,
As a faithful and trusted friend,
And to your sad and lonely parents,
My sympathy, 1 send.
A Friend, Mrs. E. B. Hollowell.
