X-RAY FINDS
WAR BULLETS
DR.. Cathcart Explains Its
Use in Battle Hospitals
in Saving Wounded.

Methods Of using the x-ray in To-
eating bullets by the surgeons Of the
various armies now at war in Europe
were explained at the weekly lunch
con OF the Kiwanis club at Hotel
Sheldon, Friday. by Dr.. ]. W. Cath
cart He said that it was not neces-
sary during this war, as in other
wars Of the past. to cut a man almost
to pieces to locate a bullet, because it
could be found without the use of the
knife through the x-ray.
The speaker explained number of
x-ray pictures exhibited on the VIZ
which were taken in this city. They
showed cancers OF the stomach, lung 5
affected by tuberculosis, bullet
wounds and bullets in the flesh.
Shows How Bullets Shatter.
one OF the pictures showed the ef-
feet Of steel jacketed bullets and the
other Of soft nose bullets. The soft
nose bullets in striking the bones
shatter them in hundreds of small
pieces in many instances, while the
steel nose bullet is more penetrating
and does not shatter bones SO much.
George Franklin, who has just re-
turned from an extended trip in the
east, made q brief talk in which he
said that the people OF the larger
eastern cities were taking the war
very seriously and that the majority
were of the opinion that II would last
two or three years longer. He said
business conditions in FL Paso were
cities OF twice the population.

meeting. in the absence OF J. ".
