REVEALS RECORDS
OF EARLY SCIENTIST
Chicago U. to Publish Medi-
cal PapyruS Dating Back
to 2700 BIC.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July THE record o.
one of mans earliest efforts to cast of
the drag of primitive superstition IL
favor of intelligent observations of Life
and death will be made available by
the University of Chicago press mex
week.
The university today announced it:
plans for publication of a two-volumG
edition of the Edwin Smith surgical
papyruS, an early Egyptian document
dated about 2700 BIC, and composed
probably by Imhotep, great surgeon and
architect of the Pharaohs.
One volume will contain reproduc-
ton Of the 15-foot papyrus, the other
a translation and critical study by
Prof. James Henry Breasted, famous
Psychologist and head of the universe
tvs oriental institute
Imhotep, if Prof. Breasted is correct
in his surmise as to the author, was
a true scientist, reaching for a scalpel
instead of a sacrifice-knife, when ILL
ness or injury came before him for
treatment. He practiced dissection, he
swabs, adhesive tape and surgical
nique.
Brain and Head.
Imhotep, his record shows. first dis
tinguished brain" from head" He re-
fers to rupture of the sack containing
the BRAIN" meaning apparently the
meningeal membrane, and, although
the seat of consciousness from early
days had been believed by the Egyp-
tians to have been in the abdominal or
thoracic cavities, he noted that brain
injuries affect other parts Of the body
and drew the obvious conclusion. Later
generations disregarded this.
Imhotep notes the shuttle, presumably
partial paralysis, resulting from cranial
wounds and observed that an injury to
the right side Of the head will affect
the left limbs and vice versa. This To-
calization of function, Prof. Breasted
says, has been fully developed by sur
geons only within the present genera
ton.
Method Used in Heart Troubles.
The Egyptian also noticed that the
heart is center of distributing vessels
heart in determining the condition Of a
patient. He devised a special splint to
hold open the mouth of a sufferer from
lockjaw, so that he could be fed and
another of sun-dried brick to hold
erect q man with a compound-com-
minuted skull fracture. He mentions
flre-drill, used to cauteriZe.
Dates Back Thousands Of Years.
The papyrus is copy made by
scribe about 100 BIC. of a book writ
ten about a thousand years earlier. One
column Of hieroglyphics at the begin
ming Is lost and the scribe broke of
suddenly In the middle Of word. Later
he returned and copied on the back
hodge-podge of treatments for the
complexion and another, and later
scribe added prescription for an ONT
ment to remove the wrinkles Of old age.
Edwin Smith bought the papyrus
from Egyptian natives in 1862 and it is
now the property of the New York
Historical Society This is its first
publication, although it has been known
among medical men and Orientalists
for years.

POOR SPORTS" RAPED

Poor sports" who lost fair ly in a fair fight, but, unable to
 un the game, they sulked aEd vent away to start a game of their own, is the designation given the principal and leaders of the "Independont" movement in the Oregon political cam oaign, by Floyd Cook, chairman of the Republican state com mittee.
 The poor sportsmanship ex- 'libited by the principal and the eaders in the Oregon fight for governors office in the Repub- 'ican ranks, has few parallels in Oregon political history
 Fair Play Found Lacking
 Said MT. Cook, T am conf lent that the lack of fair play manifested by the men who are attempting to wreck the Re- publican party will become more and more apparent as the campaign progresses and that in the end, the voters will ad- minister a rebuke which will be long remembered by the self seekerS who cannot accept de- feat gracefully n a good clean fight.
 The Republican party is the dominant party in Oregon, and it is going to elect it's entire ticket this fall, but it is entitled to the support of it's members, and particularly of those mem bers who have enjoyed office at it's hands, and of those who have sought office from it. As chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, !

THE SAME BREED IN ALASKA

We reprint the above from the Portland Oregonian because 1t pictures pretty much the po- litical situation in the Territory The dominant party in Alaska for the past eight years has been the Sutherland-PauI uI-Wicker- sham Republican faction. In he past four elections they elected more than 90 per cent of all elective offices, yet the minority faction, supported by the Juneau Empire has persist cntly sought to defeat the will Cf the Republican majority. And in their efforts to rule they have attempted to destroy the party. The "solid Indian vote" has re- fused to stampede through any political chicanery and have remained true to their party principles. And now the dis gruntled faction has made over lures for harmony" within the party.
 It has been more or less the practice for the so-called Elm pire Republicans to swear on oath that they would support all Of the Republican party nom inees at the general election in November. And they would go into the general elction with their political axes to defeat the Republican nominees with the support of the Empire. Now the shoe is on their foot and they feel that with the present political lineup they will not be able to make the election grade unless they have support of the Paul-Wickersham or the regular Republican faction.
 Some are playing for the sup port of Paul on the quiet-they want his support but are afraid to come out in the open in SUD- port of Paul and the balance of the ticket; others give lip ser vice and remain quiet when the regular Republicans are the sub- ject of attack by their enemy. Others expect that support with

ONE ON THE WARDEN

Two brothers, each operating . boat formed a company this summer and travelled together One day, one crew went up be- yond the "deadline" out of sight in the timber country. while up there a warden hap pened along and there was no chance to give warning to the crew up the creek. So the cap Fain called his, crew on deck and had them get their gear ready for a set. Going by the warden the captain asked where the line was, being told where it was. started to go !nSiqe the line with the declaration that he was go- ing to make a set there. The warden, instead of gOing up stream, stuck around to see that
 he law was not violate1. After the tide was too low for the war den to get ups rean, this crew of fishermen pulled ont of the bay, leaving the otler landlocknd a ,ong ways up in the timber The warden left. So cid the crew up stream

 Here is the lay: They were guaranteed $30o per man if the season was a failure and Wheth- CT they caught any fish or not; they were paid fourteen cents per humpback salmon as against the 6 to 8 cents paid to local fishermen who are never given any guarantee whether the sce.- son is or is not a failure. Also oil is furnished, while residents in many cases buy their own.

The more thought we give the Iyle-Whitney conspiracy case in Seattle, the more we are i'm pressed with the idea that it is a political play for the elimina- tion of certain leaders by the destruction of a part of their poiiLl"a! machine.

have no doubt that this support will be given the ticket, and I shall resist with all my power the efforts of poor sports to re- place the rule of the minority for the will of the majority.
 Boys on the playfield have a rigid code of ethcS. They oS- tracise the poor loser, the cry baby. And when the poor. loser whines and complains that he is being victimized, the other fel- lows drive him out of the game, or go away and leave him alone.
 Code of Ethics Needed
 This code of ethics is so firm ly interWoven into the fabric of our public life that Americans have become famous the world over. The poor loser soon sinks out of sight and is forgotten Politics and sports are replete with names of men who could not hold up their chinS and smile when beaten by a stronger opponent.

The leaders in the indepen- dent movement, many of whom are Democrats and wish to dis rupt the Republican party would have complained with equal bit tefneSS had the Republican State Central Committee em- 0loyed the open ballot, for then hey would have charged that posses wanted to see how their lirelings were voting.
 The principal and the leaders
 in the independent movement had equal opportunity before he Republican State Central Committee. They lost fairly in ! fair fight. But they were poor ports. Unable to run the game, they sulked and went away to start a game of their own.
 Right of the party to exist as a free and representative party in Oregon has been challenged by men who want to seize con- trol of the organization for their own selfish interests.
 If disgruntled cliques can de- stroy the party because they are not permitted to rule it, then we shall soon have no party, and a premium will be placed on poor sportsmanship.
 But with the aid of loyal Re publicans everywhere they shall be decisively defeated at the Iuolls in November. As chairman Iof the State organization, I ask you to give the ticket the sup port to which it is entitled Portland Oregonian.

HALF TRUTHS

We go Dr. Pich Bureau O. Fisheries scientist one pette4 and declare all salmon streams over-seeded in the First Division but only for tJe fall or Angus. run. The spawning grounds fol the June and July runs are ali under seeded. This is a known fact among fishermen who have examined and watched the sal mon streams throughout the ENTIRE season and not only for the August run.
 A Proper Regulation
 A proper regulation for next year would be the prohibiting of all fishing during June and July and permitting one con tinuous season beginning the first of August.
 Such a regulation will permit proper seeding of depleted areas and the rebuilding of the early runs. The failure of trapmen to get in their traps demonstrat- cd the conclusion of fishermen that these appliances prevent ed more salmon from going to the streams than any other ap- Dliance. The Anan district is a ease in point. After the traps in Clarence Straits got into full swine the escapement to this once famous stream was hill. The toll Of runs taken in Icy Straits is another case in point. The theory of upper and lower stream fishing holds in these waters. The lower down stream the fishing appliance, the big ger the catch and it lesser.s as the appliance is moved up stream. The port Althorp fish traps were the biggest cachers of salmon this and in past sea- sons while the traps and seine operators show lesser catches in the inside waters. The closure of the lower stream traps will permit an adequate and fair re- seeding of all salmon streams in June and July.
