ment With Movies.
Baltimore.-Before a clinic of nearly
500 students Of the medical department
Of the University of Maryland, DR..
Louis Gregory Cole of Cornell univer-
sity gave a remarkable lecture on the
working Of the human stomach. The
lecture was illustrated by moving pic
lures, which showed the actual reflex
movement of the stomach.
Professor Cole is the first man to
have successfully photographed the
pyioric reflex and peristalsis, and the
pictures were interesting in the ex-
IRENE.
During the lecture DR.. Cole gave
credit to Professor John G. Hemmeter
of the University of Maryland as the
pioneer discoverer of the use of < rays
as a means Of diagnosing and recogniz-
ing abnormal states of the heart and
stomach.
DR.. Hemmeter was the first to learn
that the x ray could be used to recog-
nize ulcer of the stomach.

the oceans that form the highways
of commerce, through which it is i'm
perative her supplies must one day
be replenished, is inadequate to cope
successfully with her opponents, and
as day follows day, till months grow
into years, the grim, persistent menace
of that effective patrol, and control,
makes necessary the building of a
much belauded undersea craft to carry
instructions to ambassadors, while the
growing, gnawing realization Of i'm
pending disaster becomes more and
more impressed upon her people and
must eventually find expression in her
councils. History bids fair to repeat
her lesson. The power which shat
tered Holland, that crumpled Spain,
and extinguished Napoleon, rests to-
day in the hands Of the Allies, for the
cause of Progress. The available
food supply of the world is under their
control, their wealth is beyond COM
putation, in all that is inseparable
from victory, guns, munitions and man
power, they enjoy a tremendou. su-
periority, in spirit and determination
they are unconquera BILE, and in the
nobility of the principle for which
they are sacrificing cheerfully wealth,
and life itself, they give evidence of
a higher, nobler conception Of the full
filment Of Gods purpose here on
Earth.
