Loneliness has always been the lot of peoples in isolated communities, but it is doubtful whether any place in the Western Hemisphere can com- pare with the little island of Tristan da Cunha-the "farthest outf1ung sentinel of the British Empire"-for complete isolation and detachment from the rest of the world. This island, the largest of a small group lying almost in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, on practically . straight line from Buenos Aires. is on the regular route of ocean-going vessels. and is rarely visited except by an occasional cruising liner.

K0 Injuries Are
Said Permanent

. STOCKHOLM. - Up - Knockout
flows in boxing matches are perma-
nently injurious to the brain and
not seldom fatal, declares DR.. Wal
demar G~aardlund. Stockholm physi-
clan who advocates their abolish
rent.
He reports several cases where
the brain Of a boxer who died from
. knockout blow showed no morbid
changes, but part of the cerebrum as
well as the base Of the brain were
covered with a layer Of blood half an
inch thick. This %subdural bleeding
Is explained, he says, by the serious
tension which arises in the skull
from the blows, causing the blood
vessels to be torn away from the
arteries.
DR.. Gaardiund's words Of warn
ing are echoed by another Swedish
scientist who points out that every
knockout blow means a conclusion
CT the brain which may eventually
cause idiocy.
These statements have aroused a
discussion in Swedish sporting cir
cles as to whether il would be ad-
visable TO introduce n counting OF
Toint and do away entirely with the
knockouts. but boxing experts de-
{ are that this would reduce the
number Of spectators at boxing
matches since the patrons always ex-
ptct a sensational blow.
