SURGEON SHOWS
NEW DISCOVERY
Improved Method Saves
Much Time While Patient
Is on Operating Table.

| A new method by which section
Of diseased tissue may be stained
ready for diagnosis in less than a
minute, which may reduce very ma
| terially the time required for many
surgical operations, was demonstrated
today before the American Society Of
Clinical Pathologists holding their an
Iinual convention at the Willard.
! This method, which was described
| by delegates as one Of the most
notable recent departures in clinical
surgery, was demonstrated by DIR.
B. T; Terry, formerly professor OF
pathology at Vanderbilt University
and now working at the Mayo
Brothers clinic at Rochester, MINI.
Cells Must Be Stained.
1t is necessary, in order to detect
the presence of an enemy organism
in the body, to examine a strip of cell
tissue under the microscope. In or
der to be easily visible this strip must
be stained, purple, blue, red or some
other color. A stain is selected
which win effect whatever substance
the pathologist wishes to bring out
under the microscopes procedure
which often is quite complicated.
In the past it has been necessary to
split section of tissue to an almost
ultramicroscopic thinness, less than
the thickness of q single cell. This
was slow and difficult task, requir-
ing great precision in the use Of in.
struments. Then it was usually
necessary to apply some stiffening
substance before the specimen could
be handled at all. Even then. the
surgeon was constantly tearing the
very thin sections.
This process required at least an
hour and had to be repeated If a
mistake was made. Valuable time
was lost in diagnosis. Frequently II
is necessary, in cases such as internal
cancer, to obtain the section and make
the diagnosis while the patient is on
the operating table under an anes.

is known as frozen sections. were

of these required from to minutes,
with the surgeon waiting all the time
to know how to proceed.
Is Seconds Required.
This morning DIR. Terry prepared a
section for the microscope in less than
q quarter Of minute.
BY the new method the tissue Is
not sliced with any great preciseness.
The operator can make his section
with an ordinary razor rapidly and
without paying any attention to Sc
curing an absolutely correct thick
ness. A thickness of several body

Then the stain is applied so that

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE 15-month-
old daughter and the 6-year-old step
son of John Borden, Chicago's mil
ionaire explorer" are under the close
guard of private detectives because
of fear of kidnapers, the Herald-Ex-
aminer said today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Borden at present are
with the Borden-Field museum arctic
expedition, last reported nearing the
western coast of Alaska, where they
will seek rare specimens of polar bear
and walrus.
Placing OF guapds over the Borden
children was seen by Chicago police
as another evidence that wealthy
Chicago families had taken seriously
the revelations in the thwarted million
dollar ransom plot which had the
young children Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Schweppe of Lake Forest as
their intended victims. The Schweppe
children are heirs to a portion Of the
estate of their grandfather, the late
John Shedd of Marshall Field & Co.

Dental area.
The Borden stepson is Homer A.
Stillwell, son of Mrs. Borden by a
former marriage.
Whether ransom demands had
been made on the Bordens was not
revealed, said the newspaper account,
which stated, however, that detectives
had been engaged specifically to guard
the children against kidnapping.
Mr.. and Mrs. Borden are prominent
not only in Chicago, but throughout
the country. Mrs. Borden, before her
first marriage, was Miss Courtney
Let's, daughter of wealthy Chicago
manufacturer. She was acclaimed
one of the Nations prettiest society
girls when she made her debut IN
Washington, and later she was Sc
lected as one of Americas IL most
beautiful women.
Noted As Explorer.
Mr.. Borden is known as "Chicago's S
millionaire explorer" He has con-
Quoted several expeditions into the
Arctic.
During their absence on the present
Alaskan trip Mr.. and Mrs. Borden left
the children in the care of the chill
dren's grandmother, Mrs. Frank c.
Let's; a nurse and the Borden's secre-
tary.
The 6-year-old boy was said to have
had large fortune placed in his
name at the time his mother obtained
O. divorce. Under the detective guard
he has been taken from school and is
permitted to go nowhere alone, the
