BRAIN 7UMOR TAKEN |
OUT, NO ether USED
Patient Describes Feell.s,j During.
Operation

New York, March ETA rcmarka-
bile operation for brain tumor-during
which the patient, Henry A. Brownsof
Newark. N. j.. under local anesthcsia
only, discussed his feeling with doc
tors and nurses---was described by the
staff OF Beth Israel Hospital ycster-
day.
Completely Recovered
The operation was performed on
Feb. 81. The patient has recovered so
completely that. except for the fact
that his wife Is herself in hospital
with broken leg, he now would be at
home under her care.
More than year ago Brown was
forced to leave his furniture shop
when his right side became paralyzed.
He complained Of terrible headaches
and sometimes was seized with cpl
leptic fits. Then his memory failed
him and he fell into a semi-stupor.
Finallyshe was taken to Beth Israel
Hospital for an operation. Because OF
his weakened condition. 1t was decjd-
ed that he could not stand a general
anesthetic.
d
was informed that If he wished to live
he must submit, under local anesthe-
sia, to a two-hour operation. Brown,
who is 40, said he had become re-
conciled to the idea of death and that
he would play his one chance.
He promised to cooperate with the
surgeons. He was told to tell them
whenever he felt the anesthesia wear
ing off and warned that an unexpect-
cd movement on his part would mean
his end.
Relaxing as directed, he was placed
on the operating table, the skull
trephined and the brain covering re-
moved until the tumor was revealed.
tDr. Emil Altman. hospital neurologist,
who has diagnosed the case as one of
a large tumor, saw revealed tumor
two inches by four, and three quarters
OF an inch thick.
DR.. X. Winfield May. the operating
surgeon, continued steadily at his
work, pausing only when the patient
asked for more anesthetic. Finally
| the tumor was removed and bandages
wrapped tight.
Brown said the first result he no
| ticed was cessation of the headaches
Then he regained his memory grad
ually. First came to him the name OF
his eldest child-then those of all his
family. Eventually his whole past was
again restored to him.
Then his paralysis disappeared and
now he can move about freely. He is
convalescing at home in White
Plains, waiting for his wife to return
from the hospital.

SOME WISDOM IN LAZINESS
ReservlnQ a Little Time for Thought
ls by No Means the Worst Of
Human Attributes.

Writing for current magazine Of
Kelly says:
Frank b. GIlbreth, the great indus
trial engineer and student Of human
motions, frequently makes moving pic
lures OF expert workmen in various
trades to determine how few different
movements are needed In performing
piece of work.
He finds that the best worker
that Is, the one from whom others can
learn the most, is invariably a lazy
man, willing to work only just hard
enough to hold his job. He is too lazy
to waste single motion that he can
avoid.
The more energetic man Is far less
efficient because he doesn't mind
squandering his energy In unnecessary
movements. At the end of the day he
is fatigued out Of all proportion TO the
work done.
''We often hear a man who makes q
great commotion about his Job spoken
of approvingly as hustler But the
average hustler never outgrows taking
orders from some quiet fellow seated
at desk in the main office"
A radical reversion from the old
gospel Of the man who was chain
lightning" on his job. But now that
Mr.. Kelly reminds US, we did hear
once on a time that chain lightning
never strikes anything.

SaVinQ Wild Life.

Lovers of woodland life will be
heartened TO learn that efforts for the
conservation Of the bison, or buffalo,
as we more commonly say in America.
have succeeded TO the extent that
there are 1900 more of the animals
now than two decades ago. The fact
Is of chief significance as showing
way Of preventing the extinction of
valuable or interesting species of wild
life If the states, with the co-opera-
tion of their citizens, will do half as
much for the preservation Of birds and
game as the national government has
done for the bison during these last
20 years, stupid and shameful chap
ter Of our history Will be rewritten In
happier terms-Atlanta Journal

The Lost Tree" that has been wide
ly discussed throughout the country, Is
not "lost" at all, for there are great
many of them, Nature Magazine an
nounces. All that is lost about this
genus Franklinia is the place where 1t
was first found, the magazine asserts.
The early discoverers carried seeds to
Philadelphia and the plant has been in
cultivation ever since. There are plen-
ty of the plants In this country and In
Europe
But there is real Lost Tree" in
America as far as classification goes,
and that is the Lee Oak" at Oincin~
natl, which has been given a place In
the Hall Of Fame for trees with his
tory.
This tree was discovered by DIR.
Thomas Lee In 1886. In 1870 Sir Will
liam Hooper, the English naturalist,
with Prof. Asa Gray, spent some time
In searching for other specimens.
Acorns from this tree have been sent
to the Academy of Sciences at Phila-
delphia, the National museum at Wash
ington, and to Harvard.

FIRST FLATiR0N ROUND ROCK
Modern Implement is Evolution of
Stone Old-Timers Used to
Smooth Linen With.

"Yes," said the laundryman, 'you
never would think it. but the electric
and gas irons you see us using today
are the legitimate offspring of a
round, water-worn stone. You've seen
pictures of women washing clothes on
the river stones and In the Orkney is
lands they still employ them, but as far
back as the Tenth century the Scotch
began to use mushrooms shaped object
Of black glass as linen smoother.
'The appliance was operated In an
inverted position, of course, the stem
representing an attempt to make the
round stone more convenient by giving
1t handle.
about 200 years later the French
began to use metal irons, shaped like
a tailor's goose, though they were
smaller, and they were hollow so as to
hold burning charcoal or red-het iron
bar
MANY of these early irons were
elaborate, the artistic Frenchmen orna-
menting them with scrolls and ara
besques Of silver. Can you imagine
them today in the hands Of an ironer7
Following these fancy irons came
the fiatiron of generation ago. heated
on stove, and today we have the
electric and gas-heated kinds.
1.-The modern washing machine also
developed In the same way from the
washing methods of the ancient Ro-
mans, who would put soiled toga In
vat and stamp on it, barefooted, until
1t was clean. The washers used alkaM
instead Of soap for cleansing purposes,
and then bleached the clothing in sui
phur.
Sometimes this method was varied
by slapping the linen with sticks or
whacking 1t on stones. The wash
board, of course, was invented to take
the place of the rough river stones."-

WHAT Do THEY Do
NOW?

New York.-A plea for business
men to become active in politics was
made by Frederick w. Gehle, vice
president of bank in this city, who
has evidently never heard of the cham
Der of commerce of the United States,
the national association of manufac-
turers, ETC., etc.
According to Mr.. Gehle, business
men are babes in the political woods,
and these innocents are at the mercy
of demagogues and other designing
men. This should be changed, saith
Mr.. Gehle, who calls upon his asso-
ciates to take more definite lead
ership in the country, that the nation
may take its place in the worlds
business"
The nation will only DE saved, ac-
cording to Mr. Gehle, if our affairs
are directed ''by men of the stamp of
Carnegie, Morgan, Hartman, and
Rockefeller, men whose judgment is
above the whims of the moment and
who seek the good of mankind"

prlm. snort in suordfishino

The barkentine Monitor recently ar
rived at Seattle from cruise in the
South seas, bringing the report that a
swordf1sh, evidently mistaking the boat
for whale, attacked from underneath.
1t came up with such momentum that
its sword was driven through a six
inch plank in the hull. When inves-
tigation was made to discover the cause
of leak, the f1shs sword was found,
minus the teeth In the thick plank.
What Is regarded as prime summer
sport IS swordfshing along the north
eTn sea coast Of the United States.
The swordfish is harpooned, the har-
pooner standing behind an iron protec-
tion as high as his waist. The sword
fish preys on schools of spawning
fishes. While frequently seen In the
Pacific waters, Ii is a native OF the
North Atlantic, the Mediterranean sea
and the vicinity OF the Antilles. 1t be-
comes as large as a shark, and has q
mackerel- shaped body.
