DOCTOR INvENTs TUBE TAKE
 OBJECTS FROM STOMACH

Philadelphia-Safety pins have killed more children than have firearms in the opinion of Dr. Che valier Jackson of the Pennsylvania University medical faculty, who has designed instruments for retrieving small objects from the stomach and lungs
 Careless mothers who put pins in their mouths when dressing their babies, he says. set an exam pie which is likely to be followed with possible disasterous results.
 "It took me 25 years to master the swallowed safety pin," he de- elared.
 He mastered it's recovery with a safety pin closer, operated through bronchoseope. The bronchoscope is small, straight metal tube, in- serted through the mouth. It has tiny electric bulb at the end and breathing holes near the end. Through it the operator can look inside the stomach or lungs, or op- crate safety pin closers, forceps or other instruments for the handling of small objects. A bronchoscope for baby Is hardly larger than a straw.
 Dr. Jackson's record shows that formerly 90 per cent of the child ren who got hard, foreign objects into their stomachs or lungs. died. Today 9S per cent of the patients live. He has found tacks. whistles. jackstones. buttons and scores of other small objects in the lungs and stomachs of children. Recent ly he removed a glass bead from the right bronchus of the five year old son of missionary. brought to him 12.000 miles from India.
 Dr. Jackson is professor of bron- choscopy and esophasoscopy at Jefferson Medical College and the postgraduate school of Pennsylva- mia University. He was awarded . $1O,0OO prize offered by Edward W. Box for the person "who shall have performed or contributed . service calculated to advance the best and largest interests in Phila- delphia."
