drug that it commences beating
again. The heart is a powerful or
gan. perhaps the strongest muscle
in the entire body. for it must work
necessarily and must be able to re-
spond at times to the most severe
demands. 1t is built very strongly
and it can endure rough surgical
usage even beyond what may be eX-
pected of it. Nevertheless. it can
not be operated upon as freely as
the other organs of the body, for
there must not be any suspension
of its functions. The use of adren-
alin renders important aid not only
in heart operations but in operating
on adjacent organs. In such cases
the heart has been accustomed to be
artificially stimulated by the sur
geon. who actually grasps it in his
hand and squeeZes it so as to pro-
! duce flow Of blood through the
body.
Adrenalin Is also of great help in
operating on the eye, the nose and
throat, where it is desirable to avoid
excessive flow of blood. An injec-
ton of adrenalin serves to drive the
blood away from these parts. for it
contracts the blood vessels and pre-
vents profuse flow. 1t also pos
oesses the properties of an anaes-
thetic, especially useful in opera
tons on the eye.
Adrenalin is a wonderful drug.
There is no question about that. but
it must not be supposed that it is a
cure-all and save-all for everything.
There is no such thing as a univer-
sal therapeutic agent. Then again,
adrenalin is not a universal ERASER
of the dead" 1t is only in excep-
tional cases and under very special
circumstances that adrenalin has ac-
tually caused a dead heart to beat
again. The medical scientists are
we'll aware of its properties. and use
it in many ways for alternating dis
cased conditions of the organs. That
some of them. more courageous
than the rest, have now and then
applied it in extraordinary ways and
have produced really remarka BILE re-
suits with it only serves to empha-
size that with q drug of this charac-
ter no one is entirely familiar with
all the effects than can be produced.

Dignity Added To
London Tri-RallS

London, Oct. PA. p. by MaiD-
London pawnbrokers are going up in
the world. The latest example of
this is the erection of an eighteenth
century guild building among the
many other famous guilds of London.
The pawnbrokers will moreover in
the future cooperate on a plan SINH
lar 10 the old guilds and will live up
to the reputation of the guilds. by
having elaborate annual dinners in
observance of all the holidays pc
culiar to their trade.
The trade in London has an an
Gent record going back to the thir-
teenth century when the Lombard
merchants were great money lenders
and played the chief part in the ex-
changes and money brokerage shops
OF those days. They kept up, con-
nection with the wealthy Italian re-
publics.
The pre-eminence of the Medici
family at Florence in commercial and
financial matters caused the London
merchants to adopt part of the arms
OF this house as a trade sign, from
which comes the familiar three
golden balls.

New Iron Ore
In Minnesota

Minneapolis, Oct. Is %. P.)-Min-
nesota is producing brand new iron
ore, according to Prof. George M.
Schwartz, of the department of
geology, University of Minnesota.
Three hundred tons day of the new
product is going to Detroit for use
in the manufacture Of a widely
known automobile.
Magnetic iron bearing rock has
been known to exist for many years
in Northern Minnesota, DR.. Schwartz
explained, but it has been impossible
to call it an ore because it could
not be smelted by any simple process.
The magnetic concentration process,
introduced by an iron company on
the MeSabl range in northern Min
nesota, however. changes the rock
into a true ore, capable of being
smelted. and 1t is on this account
that it is now considered a new ore.
This magnetic rock is found in
huge beds at the east end of the
Mesabi range and has limitless
possibilities of development, accord
ing to biologists and miners at the
Minnesota university. The concen-
trating machinery that is being used
was invented some years ago by E.
w. Davis, superintendent of the
mines experiment station at the Uni
versity of Minnesota.
1.-THE magnetic ore being used at
present" DR.. Schwartz declared, 'is
found on the part OF the Mesabi
range which lies east of the town of
Mesaba. The pit of the Mesabi
Iron Company is near Sulphur Sid
ing, at a new town called Babbitt.
This part of the range is usually
known as the East Mesabi, and ex-
tends from the town of Mesaba to
Birch Lake. a distance of 20 miles.
1t was in this area that the iron for
nation of Minnesota was first DIG
covered, but on account of the at
sence of rich ores, it received little
attention until recently"

"The third time he shall be bound

Debating Schedule

The Bates Debating Council is
Manning an extensive. schedule of
debates for the coming year. The
secretary of the council has been em-
powered to take up negotiations with
Harvard and Yale for debates to be
held early in the year. Details as to
question, place and side will be ar
ranged later. Both Harvard and

Bates in debate this year and the
contests will no doubt he arranged.
The proposition of western trip
was also discussed but no definite de-
cision was reached on the matter.
Al present Bates has several re-
quests from western universities and
probably would have made such a
trip last year had it not been for the
decision of the faculty committee.
Trials for the varsity squad will be
held shortly. Each candidate will
!. give five minute speech on chos-

this elimination will engage in regu-
z lar debates.

Die-cast Wood Horns.

The demand for loud speakers has
brought about the development of all
kinds of horns, some of metals, others
of fiber, and still others of pressed
wood. It is the aforementioned type
with which We are momentarily inter
eSted. These are made of selected
wood which is reduced to its original
fiber and cast in steel dies under a
pressure of u tons and subjected to
800 degrees of heat. This is claimed
to form an artificial wood many times
denser than natural wood. Its acous-
tic properties are remarkable. The
vibrations received through the phone
at the base of the horn are amplified
by the rich, resonant vibrations Of the
material itself. The metallic sound
which is so annoying in many types Of
loud speakers equipped with meta
horns is said to be entirely eliminated

WOODEN SHIPS HAVE "KNEES"
Right Angle Timber Brace, Important
Part of Vessel, Named for
Human Leg Joint.

IN these days when flapper slang Jug
giles with sayings like "the cats pa
iamas" and "the bees knees" how
many boys and girls know anything
about ships knees. Ships knees, how
ever, are a fact and not a fancy. This
is an exceedingly important item In
the construction Of a wooden ship.
A ship knee is a right-angled wooden
brace used to give strength to the
framing and is fashioned from the
natural crook of a tree formed by a
heavy shallow horizontal root and a
section Of the trunk. Knees when fin
Ished are sometimes as much as six
or seven feet high and many times are
four feet high.
The tremendous impetus to wooden
shipbuilding brought about by the wal
has resulted in the establishment OF
sawmill at Portland, Ore, designed ex
clusively for the finishing Of shlI
knees. The timber preferred is second
growth Douglas FIR, found growing II
shallow soil, so that the roots turn OF
at right angles to the trunk and thu'
give the proper shape. The standard
lied wooden ship requires some TIVE
hundred knees Of all sizes, while an
other type Of wooden ship, also unde
