the medical world came to FL Paso
from various parts Of the east to
put their findings before the physi-

In years gone by the Southwestern
Medical and Surgical meetings have
had to rely entirely on their own

from journals and in letters. This
time the procedure was all changed
and the medicos at Ell Paso for the
meeting had chance to see and
here world famed scientists.
After leaving Ell Paso DR.. and Mrs
Helm left for Carlsbad, NJ M. When
they got to Carlsbad they drove to
the cavern, 30 miles from that city,
and went through the famous cave
there. Helm was very enthusiastic
about the cave, saying that everyone
should see that place. Some of the
rooms, according to the Douglas man
are over 800 feet nigh and as long
as city block. The cave is under
the government and is partially de-
veloped at present. But for the steady
infGx of sightseers. which sometimes
runs as high as 875 in one day, the
work on the cave could go forward
better. AS soon as possible it will
be entirely lighted throughout, where
as now it is only about half lighted.

city by way Of Pecos City, Texas,

Norwegian sailor who went to sea to
"build a bankroll, was hailed todav as
the hero of an explosion which tore
the bow off the tanker Beta, killing
three of her crew and severely burn
ing fourth yesterday
He was Chief Mate G.. A. Larsen.
graduate of Georgetown 1zliversity,
who risked his life, after the blast, to
climb down over the shattered bow,
through the Gaping hole and train a
fire hose on the shouldering hold
Sure he said, Eve knew there
might be another. explosion but some
body had to get down there and put
.out the fire before tit spread to oil
fumes in the next compartment. That's
all there was to it,"
"We," ne explained included him
self and Bos'n James O'Keefe who
followed him down the Jacobs ladder
to keep the hose clear of jagged pieces
of steel projecting from deck to water
line of the Beta's bow
Larsen explained that he had grad
uated from the scho6lGof foreign serv-
ice at Georgetown university, but
found himself sbroke" after ending
the course He went to sea, he said,
to save money and complete a study
CT the export business.
Capt. j. B. Kehoe, master of the
tanker, said he could not tell what
had caused the explosion.
81 think we struck a hidden war
mine," he said. Maybe it's stretch
ing the imagination some, but I've
seen practice mines exploded in war
time and it WAS lust like that"
