A careful microscopic and chemical examination Of the
brain cells Of persons who had died with schizophrenia.
more commonly known as dementia praecox. revealed The
fact that these cells contained decidedly less iron than the
brain cells Of others.
Iron is a part Of every living cell and Is necessary to the
process Of utilizing oxygen properly. The reason that
cyanide is such a deadly poison to cells is probably be-
cause it combines with the iron in the cell to form a hfeless
compound.
DR.. Freeman's discovery Of the deficiency Of iron in the
brain cells of dementa praecox patients may therefore be
an explanation of why these persons cannot make use Of
the oxygen they breathe.
He himself regards bis find only in the light Of a very
promising lead for further research. however. and is very
careful to warn against the raising Of false hopes Of a de-
menta praecox cure"

the changes in neuro-muscular control. seem to be very sim

AT the Naval Medical School. where. under the drec-
ton Of Dr.. Joel ]. White. the flyers are given the re-
breather test as a matter of routine. observations of the
mental effect of oxygen deprivation have also been made.
There, too. the similarity Of the symptoms 10 those of al
coholc intcxication were noted. All the effects Of altitude
were found to be insidious. and to come upon the pilot
without warning.
While psychologists have been studying the peculiar
manner IN which oxygen deprivation produces a condition
like nervous breakdown. or mental or emotional disease,
other scientists have been approaching the same problem
from the opposite angle.

Dr.. McFarland's last test. although designed primarily
to measure muscular coordination. served admirably to
show how the spirit of persistency and also all self-control
are broken down when the system is deprived of enough
oxygen.
THIS test involved the rolling Of a steel ball bearing
up an inclined plane perforated with small holes into
which the ball bearing could easily fall. The guild
ing Of the ball bearing was done with a knitting needle.
DR.. Mcfarland reported:
There were great individual differences in the emo
tional outbursts and breaking down Of inhibitions. Some
individuals reacted by marked Feasibility Of temper, or by
trolable laughter. or Stiffness. or flirting with the expert
mepter and apparatus.
There seemed also to be some consistency in these re-

TIHREE pioneers. Drs. a.. s. Loevenhart. w. r.
Lorenz, and r. M. Waters. experimenting al the Uni
vershy Of Wisconsin. undertook to see what could be
done to relieve patients with the mental disease dementia
praecox who had sunk inro a stuporous catatonic state
that condition which so strongly resembles the final stages
of oxygen deprivation. The patients were allowed to In
hale for a few moments a mixture of oxygen and carbon
dioxide.
The results were startling. From being stuporous and
mute and mentally inactive. they became active and COM
municatve. One Of them who had been unable to speak
or even eat for more than six years. al last was able to
break her long silence. For about two minutes she uttered
only a tumble of unintelligible but s~peechlike sounds. but
after that the words became distinct. and she successfully
held a conversation with those about her. To quote the
experimenters themselves:
The most favorable and striking reactions occurred in
those patients who had been mute and mentally inacces-
sible for a long period Of time. In these cases. after a
short period Of respiratory stimulation. this inaccessibiity
disappeared and the catalonia passed of.
"A number Of patients have carried on conversation. A
few mentioned Oppressive thoughts. One patient was
markedly facedous, making responses typical Of talkative
hebephrenic dementa praecox. Another patient. the least
reactive Of those 50 far observed. showed only a disappear
ance of muscular tension and a voluntary looking about

DR. MCFARLAND found that the

elimination and choice between a number
Of colored lights. however. he found a
marked deterioration with increase in alti-

were slow in choosing and often made mis-

One Of the first effects noticed was a
narrowing Of the field Of attention. The
person who is feeling the lack Of oxygen
will be able to notice only one thing that
he is concentrating on. OF everything else
that is going on about him he is uncon-
scious.
Memory and the sense of relationships
were greatly impaired in those persons who
were able to go above the 20.000-foot
level. Vision and the other senses. one by

last to succumb.
And quite as important as the changes
in mental ability and physical coordination
were the changes in character and temper
ament. The person who makes the most
crude blunders will continue to bask in the
sublime confidence that he is doing very

This return to the rational world of the
living lasted for some patients as long as
Is minutes. Others began to lapse after
only two minutes. DR.. Loevenhart and
his associates describe zone notable case
where there was a prolonged period of
from 10 to II minutes during which the
patient maintained a comprehensive con-
versation without any evidence Of psy-
Ghosts"
THEN begins the tragic return to the
former condition Of muteness and
complete inaccessibility.
1T Is especially striking 10 note how
completely the former muscular state Is re-
sumed." the scientists report. This re-
production is faithful to the minutest de-
gree; the same posture. the same facial
grimace. and apparently the same mental
state. In SON Gases the lapse to the orig
inal state is remarkably sudden. so that a
sentence begun is left unfinished"
These experiments point to the conclu-
sion that a certain amount Of oxygen abb
sorbed BY the body IS essential to the
proper functioning Of the mind. For some
reason. these catatonic patients are unable
10 get their necessary ration Of that life
sustaining gas under the ordinary atmos-
pheric conditions. They may breathe just
as much as you do. but they do not make
the same use Of it.

Death of George d. FarrOw

Death of George u. FarrOW
George d. Farrow, aged n years
passed away at an early hour last
Monday at the home his son, Oliver
T. Farrow, on North Race street.
Mr.. Farrow had not been well
since he narrowly escaped asphyxi-
alton on Monday night, November
Is. He was employed to look after
the furnace at the home of Judge
Charles S. Richards, when he went
to attend to the fire he was over
come and was found lying on the
floor of the basement unconscious.
The furnace pipe had become dis
connected, filling the cellar full of
gas and smoke. 1t was through con-
siderable effort that he was revived.
Since that time, it is said, he had
been in failing health.
Mr.. Farrow was native of Dover,
this state. A few years ago he came
here to live with his son.
Funeral services were held at his
sons home on Wednesday afternoon,
in charge of the Rev. Omar Jones,
pastor of Wesley NJ E. Church. The
body was taken to Dover for burial.
Dies of Heart Failure
George B. Walls, aged SO years, a
contracting painter of this town,
died suddenly from heart failure at
noon last Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walls for some time
have been conducting a confection-
cry store and lunch room near the
new public school building, and Mr.
Walls was stricken while assisting
in serving lunches to a number of the
pupils of the school. He was taken
to the office of DR.. C. L. Hudiburg,
on East Market street, by his grand
son, Stanley Hulse, and J. Thomas
Collins, in the latter's automobile,
Milford chronicle., 1931-12-25

but he expired before leaving the
car.
Mr.. Walls death was the more sad
because of the fact of his wife and
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Oliver Walls,
being confined to their beds by ill
ness. Besides his wife, Mrs. Annie
Walls, he is survived by one son,
Oliver, and one stepdaughter, Mrs.
Lillian Hulse, of Wilmington. He is
also survived by two brothers, one
of whom, John, resides here.
Funeral services were held at
home Thursday afternoon, Rev. L. S.
Owens officiating and interment
made in Union Cemetery.
Business Man Dies
Harry Barker, aged about SO years,
business man of Harbeson, died last
Friday, after an illness of about a
year from paralysis. Funeral serv-
ices were held Monday afternoon at
his late home with burial in. Beaver
Dam Cemetery at Harbeson. He
is survived by his wife and two chill
dren, Catherine and Lydia.

Liens on Holdings of Gangster
Sought; AIS Lawyer Here
Working For Compromise

CHICAGO, June 18 G.N.SD.
Not content with putting AL
Capone within the shadow of
Federal Penitentiary walls, the
United States Government moved
today to obtain the income taxes
past due on Capone's illegal
profits.
Robert E. Neely, acting Internal
Revenue Collector, was waiting
for official papers from Wash.
ington authorizing liens on
Capone's holdings in the Chicago
district.
AIS Counsel Here
After the liens are placed, the
gang chiefs attorneys will be in a
position to seek some compromise
on the Governments demands
from the Board of Tax Appeals
at Washington. Thomas Nash,
one of APs lawyers, is in Wash
ngtOn, supposedly on such an
errand.
According to the indictment to
which AL pleaded guilty, he owes
the Government $215,000 for five
years 1924-29, which with de-
linquent fees and fines would
amount to nearly 100000.
Rest of Gang Hiding
Capone's wealth was we'll hid
den, however, His Chicago home
is listed under his mothers name,
his Miami residence was owned
by his wife, and the breweries,
trucks, and equipment used in
the mammoth beer syndicate
could never be traced to him
Meanwhile, search went on for
his co-conspiratOrs in the liquor
conspiracy but with little success
as the gang has cleared out.

Pants Burglar
Works South End

Two well known citizens of Ell
Centro last night fell victims to the
city's nefarious pants burglar ac-
cording to reports made to the po-
lice station this morning by Al Kel-
logg and Mel King, both of whom
we're victimized.
Apparently working Wensley ave-
nue., the burglar got nothing in one
attempt, leaving Mel l1ing's trous-
erS on the lawn with the pockets
turned inside out. He entered the
King residence at 483 Wensley ave-
nue. by Sitting the screen from
window.
Kellogg was not so lucky. The
burglar entered his house at 435
Wensley avenue by cutting the
screen on the rear door. Taking
Kelloggs trousers, the burglar car
ried them to the front lawn, eX-
tracted $40 in currency and some
small change, and left the trousers
there.
Chief McCaslin today asked the
public to cooperate with the police
by reporting Immediately any sus-
picious looking characters they NAV
see.
From now on petty criminals will
be drifting into the valley during
the winter MONTHS the chief said,
and if we can get them as soon as
they land here, we can take care of
them. The large number of idle
men roaming around the country
presents a real menace to the pub
lic Not all Of them are criminals.
but being idle it is easy for them
to get into mischief. If suspicious
persons are reported to us we can
look them over and decide whether
or not any further action need be
taken"
