BRAIN SURGERY
IS SUCCESSFUL
Baltimore Doctor Has
Achieved Wonders
for Humanity

BALTIMORE. - Dr.. Walter E.
Dandy, young surgeon of Johns Hop
kins hospital has planted the flag
Of American achievement in tire CEN
ter of the human brain,
The brain, center of human ac-
tivity and the most delicate and sem
sitiye organ of the body, has pre-
sented science with the most battling
operations have been made simple
problems in the past Ordinary brain
but to reach the very center of the
mass, the third ventricle, without
killing the patient, was impossible
until DR.. Dandy, after three years
experiments on lower animals-mon-
keys mostly-found the way
What does it mean?
1t means that epileptics can be
cured and that many an insane man
can be brought back from the asy-
lum. 1t means that paralytics can
be given the use of their bodies.
These ills are often the cause of
brain tumors or splits" DR.. Dandy
lays open the way for their removal
or cure.
He has successfully operated upon
the brains of men and recently re-
moved tum0r from the third VEN
tricle which restored the speech Of
a dumb man.
The. operation is made in three
stages, SO that the patient will not
be killed by the suddenshock of
laying bare the twists and turns of
his gray matter"
First the skull must be opened.
The bone is bored through with
'trepaning" instruments and then
the water" in which the brain rests
is withdrawn to release the pressure
that might damage the brain. 1t is
a delicate job to tie or "ligate". the
blood vessels to prevent hemorrhage
or undue bleeding,
The second stage finds the sur
geons knife through the corpus
callosum" or large body" which

That in itself is difficult task.
The third and final operation is
the exposing of the third ventricle
and the removal of the obstruct-
ing tumor.
The great obstacle to the operation
in the past was the treatment Of
the brain, accustomed to rest in its
fluid, when that fluid was with
drawn. The slightest damage re-
suited in paralysis or death Of the
patient.
DR.. Dandy solved the problem by
boring one or more holes in the base
of the skull through which purified
air is pumped into the brain chan
nels.

Thirteenth Effort to Re-
gain Trophy Is
Failing

For the information of those who
are not familiar with the history of
the yacht races now in progress at
New York harbor. we publish the
following:
The word yacht is pronounced as If
it were spelled yaut. 1t is fast sail
ing vessel, and for more than 200
years has been used great deal for
sport and pleasure. Yachts have been
developed for speed, and since about
the year 1840, the attention of
wealthy men and expert craftsmen
and shipbuilders has been turned to
making the yacht as perfect as pos
sible to secure the greatest speed
possible with safety. Some models
sacrifice safety for speed, and these
have been built long and narrow and
reaching to a great depth into the
water and having a very thick heavy
keel made of metal. The sails are
made to carry large amount of can
vas and the keel to balance the sails
and the resistance of the rudder.
Steam power and gasoline power
have had their place in aiding the
sails, and very expensive engines are
used in them.

ADVANCE IN RAIL WAGES;
INCREASE OF Fl PER CENT

The federal labor board has just
awarded an increase of about 21 per
cent to two million railroad en-
ployees, this being about so per cent
of the increase asked for by the
men.
The decision dates back to affect
all wages earned since May, 1920.
The labor unions will not take
a referendum vote to see whether it
will be accepted in settlement of
the problems. 1t gives to the work
ers more than half billion dollars
where they asked for billion.

the Blackfoot city park are gaining
the reputation of being the finest

SUGAR COMPANY
TO STAND TRIAL
Charged With Profiteer-
ing on lol9-l920
Sugar Sales

IHC ltdA -IudlO sugar COlipaH
charged with profiteering in the sale
of sugar in Utah, will stand trial in
the United States district court dur
ing the November session.. The or
der binding over the company was
issued by United States Commission
er Henry V. Van Pelt, before whom
hearing of the charges brought
by the federal government was held
recently. Orders were also issued
cancelling the bond of Merrill Nib
: ley, vice president and assistant gen.
eral manager of the defendant COM
pany, who was arrested to insure
the appearance of the company in
court. The company has agreed to
appear and stand trial without fur
ther process.
On the request of Isaac Blair Ev-
ans, United States district attorney,
postponement of the case of the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company and sew
en- of it's directors, charged with
profiteering in the sale of sugar in
Idaho, was granted until July 26.
Mr.. Evans in making the request
said that three of the directors
named in the complaint are absent
from the city and that there is a pos
sibility of the institution of differ
ent kind of proceedings in this par
ticular case.
At the hearing the motion of
Judge D. N. Straup, one of the at
torneys for the sugar company, that
no evidence be permitted to be in
troduced in the case on the ground
that the complaint does not state
sufficient facts to constitute a cause
of action, was overruled.
Mr.. Evans introduced in evidence
the minutes of directors meeting
held April 10, 1920, at which the
defendant company decided to raise
its prices to the amount charged
as illegal in the complaint The
minutes contained report of Steph-
Zen H. Love showing that sugar
shortage in Utah was imminent be-
cause no cane sugar jobbers would
ship their product into Utah and sur
rounding states while the low price
prevailed. Mr.. Love pointed out
that it would be impractical for the
Utah-Idaho company to increase its
allotment to Utah, but that cane sug-
ar could be obtained if the price was
raised. The minutes showed that
when the vote for the raise in price
was taken, dissenting vote was cast
by President Heber ]. Grant.
Floyd T. jackson, special agent
for the department of justice, was
called as a witness. He testified
that the 1919-1920 campaign of the
Utah-Idaho yielded 1,339,031 bags
Of sugar, which in December sold
for $11.23 in Salt Lake; in January
Of this year sold for $13.73, and in
May the price was increased to
$23.4S.
J. Percy Goddard, an expert ac-
countant, testified that he had in
vestigated the cost of producing the
1919-1920 crop for the Utah-Idaho
company and that his investigation
showed the cost to be $9.444 per bag.
The specific offense charged in
the complaint is that the defendant
company about May 1 sold to the
AndersonTaylor company 100 bags
of sugar at $23.S3S bag. The COM
plant alleges that such price is
illegal in that it allows the COM
pany an exhorbitant profit.

The Queens Cup


About the year 1914, Queen Vic
tOria became so interested in the
yacht races in England that she Of
fered trophy, loving cup to the
winner and an American yacht club
at/New York sent its swiftest vessel,
the Americ, and IT won the races and
brought the cup home 10 America.
This was in 1851 and in 1870 a
British yacht challenged the world
and the races were run in American
waters and the Americans won. After
building new models and testing
them, the English repeated thir chal-
Ing, in 1871 and lost again. The
experience was repeated in 1885,
1891 and at intervals of few years
down to the present time. Once the
Canadians challenged the world and
the Americans won.
There was to have been an inter-
national contest in September, 1914,
but it was cancelled on account of
the war. After the close of the war
it was renewed, and the races are
now in progress at New York. Sir
Thomas Upton is the challenger, and
this is about the fifth trip he has
made to America to win the Queens
cup and take it back to Englant He
is sportsman in every sense of the
word, and has made host of friends
in America by his fine honor and
clean way of doing everything. He
would scorn to take any advantage
whatever, or to win by any means
that was not clean and fair. He
wants to build yacht that is swifter
than any other yacht in the world
or he doesn't want the cup.

The Blue Sky Man is Here Again

The special session of the Indiana general as
sembly enacted blue sky law, but the measure,
as was pointed out at the time of it's passage,
does not safeguard Indiana investors against
blue sky operators and stock promotion sales
men.
A blue sky man is in Richmond now, and we
may just as well be prepared to see others come
in the future. Nothing can stop the efforts of
men of this ilk to separate the unlucky investor
from his money in exchange for stock certifi-
Gates that are hardly worth the paper on which
they are printed.
The promotion stock salesman has changed
his method of operation in recent years. He sur
rounds his proposition with semblance of finan-
cial soundness and tries to make the investor
believe that instead of buying blue sky he is
really buying something tangible.
One of the methods follows this general
course.
The promoter issues prospectus in which he
describes his offering in detail and presents his
financial plan. He buys a factory site by paying
a few hundred dollars as an initial payment.
