ST. LOUIS, Dec 3.-Dr. Heber Rob-

have attracted wide attention, has re-
Gently directed his experiments to ben

experiments called forth adverse crit

This criticism was shown to DR.. Rob

any. beneficial results may be obtained
from the use of the X ray with the

While DR.. Roberts was talking a
number of students from the Missouri
School for the Blind came into his
