There are two measures pending In

To Make Idiots Sane.

NEW YORK, March 3l.-At recent
meeting of the County Medical society
DIR. 5. Il. Powell read paper describ-
ing operations on the cranium for the
development of the brain of idiots, so
that they may become sane. The op-
Grafton consists in taking out a piece
of the skull from the top of the head.
affording the cramped brain an oppor-
tunity to grow and develop in cases
where its growth has been obstructed by
the premature closing Of certain soft
bones in the head.
A large number of surgeons afterward
witnessed DIR. Powell perform the opera
ton at the New York Post Graduate
hospital on two children. each years old,
who have been idiots since birth. The
head of the first child having been shaved,
it was put under the influence of ether.
DIR. Poweil.then made long cut down
the center of the head, beginning at the
scalp was then laid back, and four
trephined openings made in the skull
and the bone between the openings re-
moved by an electrical saw, leaving the
brain exposed. The flaps OF scalp were
drawn back and stitched, and bandages
applied. The operation lasted - minutes.
The second operation was performed in a
similar manner.
Both children are doing well. The
ultimate result of the operations viii
he watched with much interest.

the way of disputed territory and Of
Germany for a money indemnity as wei
a. of those of France and Belgium be-
.apse of the dismissal of their Ministers,
what is known as the Monroe Doctrine
becomes of much importance at this
time. This was formulated in the annual
message Of President Monroe 10 Congress
on December >. 1925, in which, speaking
Of the United States relations 10 Europe
an nations, he said;
I'VE owe it. therefore, TO candor and TO
the aynicable relations suhSisting between
the United States and these powers To de-
clare that we should consider any at
fenDt on their part toeNtcud their sy stem
To any portion of this hemisphere rs DAN
garous to our peace and safety. W IN Ihe
existing colonies or dependencies OF any
European power we have not inteTiered
and shall not interfere. But with The
governments who have declared their IN
dependence, and maintained il, and
whose independence we have, ON great
consideration and on Just principles, ac-
knowledged. we could not view any in
ierposition for the purpose OF expressing
them or controlling ia any other manner
their destiny by any European power IN
any other light than as the manifestation
of an unfriendly disposition toward the
United States. In the war between these
governments and Spain we declared orr
neutrality at the time Of their reeognl-
tjon. and 70 this we have adhered and
shall continue 10 adhere, provided no
change shall occur, which. in the judg-
