PLAN MANY EVENTS
Road to Chapel Point Likely to

Within Short Time.

With the automobile show over. the
dealers who make up the membership
of the Washington Automobile Deal

a number of motor car events in tine
near future.
The first event to be staged is likely
to be a sociability run patterned after
the two runs promoted by The Times
several years ago. AS the road to Cha

the committee in charge will select that
place as the terminus of the run. Viii

bicycle and automobile sports here for
years, is chairman of the contest COM

A meeting will be held within the next

his annual report, submitted few

1t is likely that Attorney Duvall, who
is one of the pioneer automobile driv-

EASY TO DIAGNOSE
APPENDICITIS NOW
No Excuse for Making Mistake

Not Exist.

An important advance has been made

suffering from appendicitis, or the in
fiammatory process-if it exists at all

This improvement In diagnosis is due
entirely to the perfection which has
been attained in the employment of
Roentgen's discovery of eighteen years
ago-the so-called x-rays. At an exhibit
tion of the use of the x-ray at the
Sportsmen's Show in Madison Square
Garden, New York, in the spring of
1886 1t was regarded for the moment as
merely curiosity of science.
1t has taken nearly two decades, how
ever, to bring X-ray diagnosis to suf-
ficiently perfected state to show exact
ly the processes, both norma! and ab-
normal, that are going on in the alb

Severe Abdominal Diseases.
The thing that chiefly Concerns the
patient who is seized with a pain in his
right abdominal region is whether he is
suffering from appendicitis, and, If so,
must the appendix be removed to cure
the ailment. So far as the pain is con-
cerned, there are severe abdominal dis
eases that can produce this symptom.

of photography at the New York Poly
clinic Medical School and Hospital, in
an original communication 70 the New
York Medical Journal on "Deferential
Diagnosis of the Appendix by Aid of the
Roentgen Ray" tells of discoveries re-
garding the appendix and abnormal con-
ditions to which IL may be subject that
are as new to the medical profession
in general as they are to the laity.
''The X-ray study of the appendix,
he says, has never had until now a
scientific basis sufficiently strong and
broad to warrant the assertion that

aid in separating appendicitis from the

opinion deciding in favor of the de-
PENDANTS in the case of Arthur J.
Houghton, Jacob J. Decker, and other
residents of Glen Echo. against the
mayor and council of Glen Echo and
DIR. Julian B. Hubbeu.
The suit was instituted to have the
court declare illegal the recent 5000
bond issue by the town to raise funds
to purchase the waterworks, and to
restrain the mayor and council from
issuing 5000 in bonds to repair the
waterworks.
1t was claimed that the bond issue
was illegal because the title to the
waterworks was already vested in the
town The waterworks were in
stituted some years ago by the
National ChautauQia Association OF
Glen Echo, and were later sold to DR..
Hubbell
Judge Peter held that the facts before
him were not sufficient grounds for the
action sought He, however. granted
leave to the plaintiffs to amend their
bill and to take testimony.
