Inter-Murals
Will Help Along
Colby Track Work

Although the snow is above our
heads and the wild winds still play
havoc with the train time table, ii
can't be many more moons before the
sun will shoot his rays on the cinder
track at Colby. When it does Coach
Ryan OF the track team expects, If
possible, to have as many recruits
out as he can get. Material for this
department looks rather poor but the
undaunted coach has thought up two
schemes by which he thinks he can
biuld up the sport.
One Of the ways that has been
tried and found to work is by hold
ing inter-murial events and this year
is to be no exception. Already the
schedule has been mapped out and
from the way it is being talked up
it should be very successful. There
has been a cup up for the last three
years for the fraternity getting the
highest number Of points. Two years
ago the Alpha Tau Omega group had
ii in their house but lost it to the
Delta Kapap Epilson outfit last year.

Believe X-Ray Is
of Greatest Value
for WhO0ping Cough

Boston, March 7-Bellef that the
x-ray may prove of more value IN
the treatment Of whooping cough
than any other form of treatment, is
expressed by DR.. Henry I. Bowditch'
and DR.. Ralph d. Leonard, in a pre-
liminary report on their experiments
to find a cure for the complaint that
has baffied all treatment.
Their report, which will be pub
lished in the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal tomorrow said that
definite improvement was noted in
most of the % cases of active per-
tussis (whooping coughD treated
with the X-ray, the subjects of which
ranged in age from three months to
40 years with the disease stages from
one to ten weeks. The physician MS
added, that they could not give any
rational explanation of the action
through which the N-ray appeared
to produce the beneficial results.
The report said:
Zach patient received three or
four applications Of the X-ray at in
tervals of two to three days.
MANY of these cases have not
been observed sufficiently long to
determine the final result. Never
lIlSlcSSs ~ Is eNlutHt 10 us tIldI there
has resulted definite Improvement
in these patients which cannot be
explained by mere accident. We
cannot at this time give any rational
explanation of the action through
which the X-ray appears to produce
the beneficial results. 1t does not
seem likely that it is due to any di-
rect bactericidal property of the x
ray.
I'VE feel warranted in classifying
a small percentage of these &c cases
under the heading of prompt
cures" BY this. we mean that af-
ter two or three applications of the
N-ray covering a period of six DAYS.
the spasms and whoops entirely dis
appeared and the patients were
clinically well. except for possibly a
very slight cough.
1.-The bulk of the cases. however.
we have classified as relieved This
group consists perhaps 10 or Is per
cent which apparently were not re-
lieved. In this group are included
one moribund case and one rather
difficult feeding case.
while our evidence so far is not
sufficient to warrant any definite
conclusions. we have the feeling that
the x-ray at the present time may be
of more value in the treatment of
pertussis than any other form Of
treatment, including serum"
