HEAIT H
ACUTE PERlTONITIS
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
Copyright 1871. b, Newspaper r..sr.. 1se.
Commissioner Of Health, New
York City.


Lining the abdominal cavity, hug.
ging the intestinal canal, and reaching
| into every part of that portion of the
body is the delicate membrane called
| the peritoneum. It is like the pleural
membrane which lines the chest.
When / was boy the popular be-
lief was that if the peritoneum suf-
fered the prick of an instrument even
SO small as pin, death would ensue.
AS surgeons grew more skilled, as
cleanliness and modern surgical meth
DDS improved, this cavity was opened
freely, and many life now is saved
which would have been lost genera
ton ago.
Under certain conditions the peri
toneum becomes inflamed, and we have
the disease called ''peritonitis."
Peritonitis may come from exposure
to cold or wet. 1t may be secondary
to Bright's disease and other troubles.
More commonly peritonitis is the re-
suit Of perforating wounds of the abb
domen. to appendicitis, to perforation
of an ulcer of the stomach or intes-
tines, and particularly to ovarian or
other female trouble.
The first symptom of peritonitis is
apt to be a chill, speedily followed by
LlidI hCo pulH III lAS dDuOliAiai lCSAou.
The slightest movement aggravates
the pain. and the abdomen is very SEN
sitive to touch. To take the pull off
the muscles the patient lies on the
back and draws up the legs.
just as in pleurisy, coughing and
talking are painful. The patient does
all he can to take pressure off the abb
domen and to escape movement of any
kind.
There is swelling of the abdomen,
which becomes like drum. With the
increase of the swelling and tender
ness comes fever, which may reach 104
or 105. Nausea and vomiting may add
to the misery of the victim. The face
is drawn, the eyes appear sunken.
There is great anxiety on the part of
the patient He looks old and very i'll.
The acute general peritonitis is a
very serious disease. Two days of
suffering may end in death, although
the illness may last week.
There should be frank admission to
the doctor of the previous state of
health and of any condition which
might be responsible for the trouble.
The physician must work vigorously to
save his patient, and he should be
given the advantage Of knowing every
ldCtoI possiUis IeSpoIsibie lux ucfeiop-
ment of the disease.
Neglected appendicitis or pelvic dis
ease may have peritonitis as compli-
cation. On account of this possibility
prompt attention should be given any
obscure symptoms.
This is serious disease and
prompt attention must be given it. The
doctor should be called at once. In the
meantime hot lamentations may be ap-
piled to the abdomen.
Wiring out a towel in water hot as
can be borne. Cover this with dry
towel, and place over it a hot-water
bag. Usually the heat will relieve the
pain.
Keep the patient in quiet room,
partly darkened, to encourage sleep.
Don't fuss too much over the patient.
Encourage him by coolness on your
part.
If the hot applications aggravate the
pain, discard heat and try an ice bag.
Do the best you can to make the pa
tient comfortable until the doctor ar
rives.

Household Hints

When you buy new glasses, put them
in pan of cold water and place over a
slow fire until the water reaches the
boiling point. Take from the fire and
let cool in the water. Be sure the
glasses are thoroughly covered with
water while on the fire. Ice water or
hot fluids will not affect the tempered
glasses.
The water in which potatoes have
been boiled will remove tea and coffee
stains from napkins and tablecloths if
they are soaked in it before washing.

PUBLIC NOT Up
BIOGRAPHY Of
GENUS RUBBER

although the public Is fully
aware of the source of supply of
coal. iron, sugar, gold and other
ba sic needs, but little seems to be
known concerning the fundamentals
of rubber" says a recent article in
one of the Firestone Tire & Rubber
Company's publications.
THE first references to India
rubber are found in the writings of
Spanish travellers in Mexico, about
1921. These travellers observed
that the natives of Mexico had a
national game of ball which they
had developed to high degree of
skill The travellers were greatly
Impressed with the remarkable re-
silent qualities Of this ball. and
they had never seen anything of the
sort before.
1T was found that these won
derful bouncing balls were made
from the dried juice of a certain
tres, but the Spaniards failed to
reyli.e the commercial possibilities
for this new product, and did not
seem to make any attempt to put
their discovery to any useful pur-
pose.
About a century later, Portu-
guese missionaries, in the Amazon
regions, discovered that the natives
were using rubber in making such
articles as shoes, clothing and water
bottles. In 1871, the French Acad-
emy of Science sent explorers there
to investigate the sources of this, to
them, new substance. These seien-
lists reported that it was a gum
obtained from a tree and they
named it Heve.'
According to the Firestone article,
il was Priestley. the discoverer of
oxygen gas, who, observing the
wonderful erasing qualities of the
substance, named it india, rubber. "
but il was Mcintosh. also an Eng
1ishman, who, in 1920, put the ma
terial to general commercial use by
manufacturing rubberized raincoats.
THE best kind of rubber, CONNER
cially known as para is produced
from Heve trees. This tree grows to
a giant height and girth, flourishing
only in tropical regions. The largest
Strait Settlements, Sumatra, Java
ume comes from Straits Settle
ments, with Singapore as the
port of shipment. 1t is here that
the Firestone company maintains
a large establishment for washing
and packing the crude rubber which,
with buying headquarters at the
same point, effects economies in
eventful tire costs by reducing
freight charges and ensuring first
selection of materials.
THE process of collecting the
3atex or rubber" the Firestone article
Apncludes," is similar, in some re-
spects, to collecting maple sugar.
When the trees have matured a ma
tive picks out those to be tapped,
cuts notch and a chanel. places
cup below to collect the flow and
later in the day gathers his cups car

been so restricted as to interfere
with Lincoln production.
There has been a very unusual
demand this year for enclosed types
about very probably by the low pric-
es of closed cars and the development
in coach building. The demand runs
as high as so per cent in some fac
tories, notably those that have been
specializing in enclosed work.
This week witnessed a considerable
easing up of the material situation,
and parts and equipment makers re-
port that they are catching UP on
deliveries. Inventories, which on ae-
count of size. threatened many fac
tories with drugged condition, have
entirely disappeared.
The U. S. Employment Service re-
port April shows that 20.556 employees
were added to the automobile indust-
ry payrolls in that month and still
further increase is expected to be
shown by May. Financial conditions
in the industry have vastly improved.
A distinct increase in employment
has been felt throughout the East
and the Middle West, particularly
among parts and equipment makers.
and the tire industry at Akron is now
practically at it's peak.
The production schedules for May
of the Detroit factories may be sum-
married as follows:
Ford will build 10000 cars. Tractor
production will run 400 daily for the
month. April production on Ford
cars finished 101, ,164. Hupp produc-
ton of 100 cars daily in April will
show substantial increase before
the end of May. Oldsmobile will
doubtless run over 100 cars daily for
May, while Oakland will continue on
schedules specify production of
$500 in May, to be divided about
equally. This factory shipped 1900
Paige cars and 100 Jewett cars in
April.
Packard will build approximately
1900 Single-sixes during May, 500
Twin Skies and 500 trucks. Cadillac
will more than average 100 cars daily.
Lincoln expects to finish May with
total of S00
Dodge will continue throughout the
balance of May with it's schedule of
$50 cars daily and Maxwell is likely
to reach an average of 800 daily for
the month. Hudson Essex will pro-
bably exceed 200 daily for May, while
REQ will run So speedwagons daily
and 100 cars.
Studebaker's schedule of 440 cars
daily will bes continued all through
May and Columbia expects to finish
the month with 1000 new cars turned
out in the light Skies and 500 of the
larger models. Durant, at Lansing,
will build so cars daily during May.
The deliveries of parts, equipment,
material and bodies will have more
TO do with the fulfillment of the pro-
duction schedule than anything else,
aQd the fact that the situation is
easing up at rapid clip promises
a. car output that will comply with
these figures.

F FOREIGN NEEDS
REQUIRE S UDY
SAYS ENC HEAD

Pierre S. Dupont, president of Gen.
eral Motors corporation, accompanied
by other officials Of the corporation,
has completed an inspection of the
plants of the General Motors of Can
ada, Ltd, at Oshawa and Walker
vile, Ont. Mr.. Dupont, commenting
upon the outlook for export business,
says in part:
General Motors of Canada, Ltd,
our Canadian division, has modern
and extensive plants wherein are
manufactured for sale both in the
dominion of Canaua and for export,
Chevrolet, Oakland. Oldsmobile.
Mclaughlin and Buick cars.
To~ successfully compete in the
overseas mart for motor cars the
needs Of many people must be studied
and anticipated. Automobiles built
Tor export trade differ from those
built for use in the United States
and Canada in details of design
which, taken as whole are most
essential if the individual tastes OF
overseas buyers are to be satisfied.
The Corporation is developing In
Its Canadian plants a. line of export
OF foreign countries in the matter
of taxation. fuel consumption, weight
tire mileage and economical upkeep
which are the major considerations
in influencing the purchase of
American products in foreign coun-
tries. At Walkerville are plants
especially adapted for the manu-
facture of the various engines axles
transmissions and other parts to
further cater to the foreign specifi-
cations.
The export business of the Cor
poration is running three times what
1t was forecast six months ago. Re-
Gently a solid trainload of automo-
biles left for st. Johns. N B., from
whence they were shipped to General
Motors. Ltd our English subsidiary,
for distribution in Great Britain. In
this one shipment there were 5to
passenger cars loaded upon a soiiu
train of 63 cars.
The foreign demand for all Cen
eral Motors cars is strong, especially
Buick and Chevrolet. In the three
and half months from January l to
the middle of April, the totalship-
ments of all General Motors cars
from the factories of General Motors
OF Canada were 1926 compared with
4.l02 cars in the corresponding Pc
riod OF 1921. While a large part OF
these We're consigned TO Great Brit
ian and Ireland. yet the volume of
demand from all other parts OF the
world is increasing"

MAY EXPECTED TO
KEEP PRODUCTION
UP TO FAST CLIP
Parts, Equipment and Material Situation Considerably
Eased and Deliveries to Car Makers Will Operate
to Keep Schedules Humming- Shortage Still
Serious-Car Makers Still Far Behind on Orders

That May is destined to surpass
April in production of automobiles
and trucks is the indication at this
date from the output of Detroit fac
tories and reports of production from
outside plants. Practically every
factory is straining to meet it's orders
but the month will finish with every
factory still behind on deliveries.
Production in April reached record
proportions and that for the first
quarter exceeded anything in auto
motive history with the exception of
1920. The first quarter of 1922 has
shown gain of 100 per cent over the
same period in 1921
The best signs of prosperity for
the industry, however, lie in the fact
that orders are pilink into the fac
tories in increasing volume, there be-
ing no sign of even a temporary let
up. Capacity output in Detroit fac
tories will be necessary to meet the
demand. The month of April showed
a total of $4,000 cars and trucks
manufactured, although these figures
are more or less preliminary. Final
results are very likely to show about
100000. If April production reaches
this figure it will equal that of
March, 1920.
The outlook for June is exceeding
ly promising. Manufacturers, how
ever, hardly look for the same huge
output next month, as there is the
usual seasonal decline to consider,
but that there is absolutely no like
lihood of a slump is the opinion of
all. The policy of every factory is to
keep behind on deliveries. In other
words, a safe and sound business
principle is being followed absolutely
and cars must be sold before war
ranting production.
The body situation is still serious
and is interfering to a great extent
with production schedules. This is
particularly true here in the Detroit
district. There is a distinct shortage
of skilled body workers. Consider
able labor unrest seems to be max
ing its appearance to aggravate the
situation and strike has been in
progress in the finishing department.
Of one of the leading body makers
There is little hope held out for in
creased wages as long as car prices
remain at the low level they now
occupy Efforts are being made to
develop Skllleu WOrkerS from the
present unslliiled labor and many
from other cities are being imported
into Detroit in an effort to get the
work turned out. In spite of the
measures, the shortage of skilled
body men is keen and manufacturers
who are contemplating moving their
plants into Detroit will be faced with
the necessity of bringing their own
skilled mechanics with them.
There are several plants which
have had no difficulty in respect tc
body output notable among these
being the Cadillac and Packard. The
| former builds its own bodies and the
| Packard controls two plants prac-
| tically. Ii is thought here that
Lincoln viii establish its own body
plant as deliveries or bodies have

APRIL BIGGEST
MONTH IN Nash
MOTORH|sTORY

The Nash Motors company in April
had the biggest month in the history
Of its business. Eighteen per cent
more cars were shipped last month
than were shipped in April, 1921.
Even the previous record month,
August, 1920, was entirely eclipsed in
point of shipments during the 80
days just passed.
The fact that all previous records
In the history of our business were
broken in April, in my opinion. is
due to the soundness of the product
and the value it represents at the
price" said Joe McAleer of the Phoe-
nix Nash company, distributor of
Nash cars.
Every effort consistent with care
ful production is being made to meet
as nearly as possible the demand for
Nash cars in May. Frankly, though
We will not be able to supply the full
demand, for we have faced an over
sold condition now for the past two
months.
when we brought out our new
line of cars the first of the year
there was no doubt in our mind as
to the reception they would meet.
That was apparent at the very outset.
With the opening of the spring sea-
son the pressure of orders became
stronger until finally, some weeks
ago, we reached the point whefe we
were oversold.
THE first quarter OF 1922 shows
an increase of nearly 50 per cent
over the similar period year ago.
This demand for Nash cars seems a
certain indication that the public has
placed it's unqualified Endorsement
on the product of the Nash Motors
company"

Akron Tire Output
OUer 10000 Daily

AKRON, Ohio, May .-(Special)
Tire production OF more than So
900 per day is looked for by tire
manufacturers here. and stocks of
finished tires are being drawn upon
to meet the dealer requirements
throughout the country, according to
officials of the industry. A call was
recently sent out for an additional
1000 expert tire builders and the pro-
duction for May will undoubtedly
run over so per cent of the peak pro-
duction in 1920. Goodyear is build
ing $4,000 castings daily and Firestone
$4,000 with the other factories work
ing at top speed also.
1t is stated that the requirements
of manufacturers of automobiles was
much under estimated and that the
supply of original equipment tires
has been entirely exhausted. Manu-
facturers expect the present demand
to continue at least until August
and are hiring their men upon that
basis.
