the celebration were worked out in
the meeting Monday night, which in
clude parade of automobiles from
Davis and Thomas to Oakland and
thence to Gnegy church, the Oak
land cars "hooking on" to the pa
rade as it passes down Oak street
through town, the serving of sand
wiches and coffee free of charge at
the meeting place and addresses by
one or two speakers from Maryland
and West Virginia.
There will be no lacking of re-
freshments, it was said, as the peo-
pie connected with the Gnegy and
other churches in the community, are
planning to serve lunches also.

present to represent the Marylanders.
Many To Attend.

ening to have a string of cars more
than mile long and it was thought
that the stores of Thomas and Davis
might close in order that everybody
in those two communities might at
tend the celebration. This is Oakland's
opportunity to show like public
spirit. The opening of this road will
throw a vast territory open to trade
and this trade will naturally come this
way.

also been invited to pe present and
that organization with a large num-
Der of the representative citizens Of
the community will be in attendance.

bility be present.

Oakland at approximately 2:30 or
few minutes before that hour. From
here both the delegations from West
Virginia and Maryland will motor to
Gnegy church at the State line where
the road will be officially opened for
traffic.
The opening of the highway con-
Meeting the towns Of West Virginia
and Maryland will necessarily bring
the people closer together and cele-
bration of the event participated in

ing friendly and more neighborly
spirit.

monts later it was revealed forty of
the devices were in use, and that con-
slant improvements were being made.
How many are now being used is not
known.
The device is simple and but little
more conspicuous than a pipe. 10
closely resembles, indeed an under
slung pipe of the kind popularized by
Vice-President Dawes. The differ
ence is that from the bodttom of what
appears to be the bowl of the pipe a
tube extends to the artificial throat
orifce, which is kept permanently
openb a silver tube.
It is this "pipe bowl" or cylinder,
which contains the man-made larnyx.
Air from the wearer's lungs passes
through the tubef rom the throat to
the cylinder and thence to the mouth
through a pipe tenn" which is held
in the teeth. In the cylinder is a Vi
brating diaphragm Of rubber designed
as nearly as possible to do what the
vocal cords do in the normal throat.
The diaphragm emits a tone, or
note, when aid from the lungs is
forced through it. This sound passes
into the mouth through the "pipe
stem, which is held as far back in
the mouth as possible, and is thus
modified and infected by the lips, pal
ate, teeth, tongue-much as is true Of
normal speech. The throat opening
is covered semi-permanently by a soft
rubber pad, with an orifce in it, but
which rests on gauze to prevent dust
from going into the lungs.
The pad is covered completely by
clothing when there is no need for
speech. In conversation it is only
necessary to remove the light appa-
ratus from a pocket, but the stem in
the mouth and insert the tube in the
opening of the rubber throat pad.
The Western Electric Company has
spent far more on developing the de-
vice than can ever be made out of it
it commercially. It is sold at some
thing approximately manufacturing
cost to those who can afford to pay,
and is "loaned" to those who can't.

SENATOR DuPOHT'S VOICE is
SAVED BY ARTIFICIAL LARVNX
THROAT ULCER NECESSITATES
REMOVAL OF PARTS OF TONGUE
New Speaking Device Makes 1t Easy
for Him to Be Easily Under
stOOd-Talks in Monotone

A mechanical larynx," which en-
ables United States Senator Coleman
DUPONT of Delaware to speak, not
withstanding an operation in which
his vocal cords were removed, was de-
scribed last week. DR.. John E. Mack
enty, senior surgeon of the Manhat-
tan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital,
who performed the operation involv-
ing removal of the vocal cords, larynx
and part of the tongue and windpipe,
is removed for his technique in throat
cancer operation. He declined to COM
ment upon his clients case, although
the senator's Office announced the all
ment throat ulcer"
Ire mechanical larynx" was de
scribed as a perfected type Of de-
vice presented to medical science a
few years ago By DR.. Harvey Fletch-
er E. Lane of the laboratories Of the
Western Electric Company and the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, whose researches were un-
.der-taken at the instigation of DIR.
Mackenty, who had studied the prob
lem for 20 years.
The device which was said to save
the senator from the penalty of dumb
ness that once resulted from such an
operation as his, is simple, resembling
and but little more CONSPICUOUS than
an underslung pipe, from the bowl of
which a tube extends to an artificial
throat opening. The pipe bowl con-
tains the artificial larynx. Air from
the lungs passes through the tube to
the bowl and thence to the mouth
through the pipe TEN, held in the
teeth. A tone is emitted by the man
made larynx and is modified much as
in normal speech by the lips, teeth,
tongue and palate.
The normal voice with its modul-
lations is not retained but a new
voice, slightly monotonous but clearly
is formed.
From authoritative sources it was
learned that enator DUPONT will be de-
pendent upon this device, that his
complete recovery IS anticipated, and
that his relatives and associates are
confident he will "be able to talk al
right"
He thus joins the small but grow
ing number Of those not only saved
from death BY this operation-but
saved without paying the former pen
atty Of dumbness. Without removal
BY the knife, cancer Of the larynx is
usually fatal within a year or two.
After removal of the larynx the
windpipe is surgically attached to the
throat wall in such a way that the
lungs breath through an opening
made in front of the neck, rather than
through the mouth or nose. When
DR.. Mackenty's work with the "arti-
fetal larynx" was first revealed three
years ago, it was stated there were
at least 600 persons in this country
who had been left voiceless by remov-
al of the larynx in cancer operations.
DIR. Mackenty. who demonstrated
the device in use by patients m lee
ture at the Vanderbilt Clinic, early in
1925, had at that time observed its
performance in fourteen cases. a few
