Iests and Experiments in Many Fields Haze Proved
of Great Worth to Leaders of Congress to
COnrene Here Tomorrow

vi undoubted interest to the hun
dreds of physicians and surgeons to
sather here tomorrow to attend the
American Congress on Internal Med
lcine is the work being done by the
Bureau of Standards to help the med
ical profession.
Dependent. both directly and indi-
rectly, on numerous branches of
physics and engineering, through the
use of buildings and their equip
ment, instruments and materials of
various kinds, the medical profession
Is watching the developments at the
bureau with interest. In the physical
field the bureau ranks as one of the
principal laboratories of the United
states for Standardization, testing,
fundamental scieRtific research and
the carrying out of special investiga-
lions into the properties of matter
and the laws of science
Investigations now in progress in
the laboratory include study of the
properties of dental repair mate
rlals, with complete tests being made
or all dental materials. Studies of
the germicidal effect of ultra violet
light have recently been completed,
while the bureaus work on rare SUI
CARS has resulted in making several
sugars, many of which are valuable
in medical research more convenient
DeNtrose manufacture has been es-
tabllshed on commercial scale and
process has been devised whereby
leVulose, the sweetest of all sugars
can be made at lower cost than
Formerly. The bureau has played an
important part in the establishment
or the optical glass industry and does
work in devising optical instruments
to meet special demands.
Practically all the radium prepa-

rations produced in this country are
sent to the bureau for measurement
in the radium laboratory. Research
work on the exposure of laboratory
workers to radium has been made
and investigation of X-ray protective
devices is planned as soon as money
is available.
In the Standardization field sew
eral Investigations of special interest
to the medical profession are being
carried out. Testing and certifica-
tion of clinical thermometers is also
an important job of the bureau. A
board for measuring the length of
babies has recently been devised and
Is being widely used.
Many of the building material tests
conducted by the bureau are of in
terest to the medical profession as
result of the use of such materials
in hospitals. Means of preparing spe-
cial rubbers for medical purposes,
Investigations of stainless steel and
OF platinum substitutes, studies of
enameled metals and of pottery and
studies in illuminating engineering
are also among the tasks of the bu-
reau Standards for sterilizing ap-
paratus have been established, while
the division of simplified practice has
brought about the adoption of stand
ard dimensions for hospital beds and
bedding. Much work in connection
with safety codes has also been car
ried out, including study of the pre-
cautions necessary in the use of gas
in the home, study of the reaction
time OF automobile drivers, of the
effectiveness of brakes, of the colorS
or traffic signals, of elevator door in
terloclSs, of walkway materials and
of glasses for protecting the eyes
from injurious rays and from missiles
