PERFECTION NOT OFTEN SEEN

Sanity has been defined as "the abIl-

merely because they are different from
their own are not entirely sane.-Los

Surgeon PerfeCts New Method Of
Treating Tumor Of the HUI
man Brain.
SAVES SCORES OF PERSONS
Discovery Is Result Of Long Series Of
Experiments on Animals--Locates
Tumors and Distractions
Every Time.

Baltimore, Md.-Dr. Walter p.
Dandy, associate in surgery at Johns
Hopkins hospital, has discovered a
process by which purified air is
pumped into the channels of the hui
man brain, thus making possible a
study of the living brain.
The discovery is regarded of tre-
mendous importance in that It al
ready has saved scores of persons from
idiocy and premature death, by max
ing possible the exact location OF
brain tumors, and thus their eventual
removal.
The discovery Of Doctor Dandy is
the result Of a long series of expert
ments on animals.
Fluid That Feeds ths Brain.
In each hemisphere of the brain
there is a large ventricle or chamber
connecting with an elaborate system
of channels filled with a fluid pro
duced apparently by one of the glands
and delivered to the brain through
the spine. This fluid passes slowly ia

present situation and so aid in COM
batting high living costs. In making
this appeal II is recognized that. at
the outset at least, such labor Is not
as efficient as experienced farm labor,
but the excellent results secured In
1918, when city men In large numbers
aided the farmers, leave no doubt as
to the success Of the present drive II
the men will respond.
Plan to Help Farmers.
The United States, department Of
agriculture was represented by Asher
Hobson at the meeting Of the National
Farm Labor conference held In Kan
sas City recently and the Office Of farm
management, Of which Mr.. Hobson Ia
assistant chief, is laying plans looking
toward offering effective aid In dealing
with the farm labor situation. partic-
ularly in the harvest season. 1t is ex-
pectel that definite announcement re-
parding work along this line will be
made In the near future. Until other
provision has been made by the de
partment all persons interested In find
ing work on farms should write to the
directors of agricultural extension al
the agricultural colleges In the vari'
GUS states. These directors are pre-
pared to supply the names Of county
agents having farms in their respec'
tive counties that need farm labor.

the surface Of the brain, there to be
absorbed by the brain tissue, and 1t
might be described as the fluid on
which the brain feeds.
An excess of this fluid is known as
hydrocephalus, or water on the brain.
Doctor Dandy has discovered that 1t
frequently follows a tumor which
blocks the passage Of the fluid. Ma
ture provides but one method Of dis
posing of 1t, absorption. When that
Is prevented by a tumor, the fluid col
lects and presses against the brain,
destroying 1t. Sometimes patients will
live for years as imbecles.
Trials so Far Successful.
In every case where It has been
used the method has been successful
in locating tumors and other brain OBJ
structlons within a hairs breadth.
One of the most remarkable features
of the discovery is that 1t is most eff
caclOus when only a local anesthetiC
is used. 1t was discovered that the
patient felt no Ill effects and was able
to give assistance to the surgeon.
In one case described by Doctor
Dandy a patient was operated on halt
a dozen times for tumor of the brair
without success. Doctor Dandy uset
his process and located the tumOr
which was removed from point no
considered by diagnosticians.
A photograph of the patient prior t.
the operation showed face with sag
ging lines and the vacant stare Of i'm
becllity. A photograph a few months
after the operation showed a man ap
parently in full possession Of hi

King Alfonso Was Fined
for Walking on Grass

Madrld.-King Alfonso was
fined two pesetas for walking
across the grass in the Gardens
of the Alcazar. Every member
of his suite who followed the
king across the greensward like
wise was fined.
The first intlmatiOn the royal
party had that 1t had committed
an offense was when a guardian
approached and said: your
majesty, walking on the grass is
forbidden. / must fine you ac-
cording to my instructions" At
first King Alfonso was abashed.
then he laughed and paid the
money.
Later the mayor of the town
called at the palace and apol-
ogized to the king, but his
majesty told him the guardian
had acted properly and should
be rewarded for devotion 10

Shortage OF Hired Labor Threat

MEREDITH MAKES AN APPEAL
increase Of Wages From is to rs Per

Total Acreage Undoubtedly

Washlngton-With shortage Of
hired farm labor, as acute as in 1918,
threatening to curtail food production
on American farms, f. T. Meredith
secretary Of agriculture, has issued
an appeal to city men, college students
and others to spend their vacations
working on farms, particularly as
helpers in harvest fields.
Reports secured by the federal de-
partment from its representatives in
practically every state in the Union
show that the supply of hired farm
labor In this country is only about Y
per cent of the normal supply, COM
pared with approximately "a per cent
Of a normal supply a year ago. This
yetr's shortage is almost exactly the
same as that of two years ago when
large numbers of men were in military
service.
May Cut Production.
The present shortage has arisen in
spite Of the fact that farm wages are
Is to 25 per cent higher than last
year. The situation, unremedied, can
nol fail to have unfavornble effect on
production, according to the United
States department of agriculture, and
will tend TO prevent any reduction in
the prices of farm products. While
the total acreage undoubtedly will be
reduced as a result of the present Stu
alton, It will not be in as large proper

families are exertlng themselves to

said, and the titled fields will be less

Foreign Municipal Financing

Informal discussions in connection
with new foreign security offerings in
this market are going on at present
which may result in the placing of a
number of attractive issues before the
end of the year. Certain Swiss munich
palltles are in need of funds, it was
learned yesterday, and are prepared
TO borrow here if the terms are made
right. Investment bankers are of the
opinion that we'll secured loans of this
character, bearing a coupon rate of &
per cent, ought to go we'll in view of
the rapid absorption Of the French
loan: The belief is quite general that
the investment public prefers the long
term security, and for this reason it is
oeIleved that any new foreign issue
that may be offered will run from
nfteen to twenty-five years.
Small Investors Buy French Ss
Small investors played a leading role
IN making possible the success Of the
french government loan. While alIot
ments on subscriptions have not vet
been announced, enough figures are
avallable to show that the investor of
