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 il combines with the iron in the cell 70 form a Efeless
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 his find only in the light Of a very
promising lead for further research. however. and il very
careful to warn against the raising Of false hopes Of a de-
menta praecox cure"

ment Of the individual had been exposed. The emotional
behavior and the breaking down of inhibitons,. as well as
the changes in neuro-muscular control. seem 10 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 to those of al
coholic 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 sefcontrol
are broken down when the system is deprived Of enough
oxygen.
TyHIS 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 inhibitons. Some
individuals reacted by marked Feasibility Of temper. or by
trollable laughter. or Stiffness. or flirting with the expert
mepter and apparatus.
There seemed also to be some consistency in these re-

TyHREE pioneers. Drs. "A. S. Loevenhart. w. r.

versity Of Wisconsin. undertook to see what could be
done to relieve patients with the mental disease dementia
praecox who had sunk into a stuporous catatonic state
that condition which 50 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
municative. One Of them who had been unable 70 speak
or even eat for more than six years. at last was able 10
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-
sble for a long period Of time. In these cases. after a
short period Of respiratory stimulation. this inaccessblity
disappeared and the catalonia passed off.
"A number Of patients have carried on conversation. "A
few mentioned Oppressive thoughts. One patient was

of colored lights. however. he found a

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

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
well. And then. too. the person who still
retains a knowledge Of what should be

the room at those standing near.
This return 10 the rational world Of the
living lasted for some patients as long as
% minutes. Others began to lapse after
only two minutes. DR.. Loevenhart and
his associates describe "one notable case
where there was a prolonged period of
from 10 to IL minutes during which the
patient maintained a comprehensive con-
versation without any evidence Of psy-

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 some cases the lapse to the orig
inal state is remarkably sudden. 50 that a

These experiments point to the conclu-
sion that a certain amount of oxygen alb
sorbed by the body is essential to the
proper functioning Of the mind. For some
reason. these catatonic patients are unable
to 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 il.

been continued and the Herald has
been united with the Tribune, its name
appearing in hyphenate conjunction
with that Of its absorber. 1t is now
arranged that the Evening World will
be blended with the Telegram, as part
of the property of the chain of news
papers that made the purchase from
the Pulitzer estate.
The World has always been an in
teresting newspaper and at times it has
been a powerfully influential one.
Under the direct editorship of the late
paper in 1888, after it had had a
financially troubled career, it became
colorful and enterprising journal
Mr.. Pulitzer's policies of publication
were unique ana 1T times he startled
his reader community with his innova-
tions and ventures into what were at
the time regarded as sensationalism.
Viewed in the light of later develop
ments in this line the World of that
period was conservative by comparison.
Since Joseph Pulitzer's death the
World has carried on by the momentum
of its own force under the direction
of his sons. But circumstances and
conditions were changing and eventual
~ difficulties arose, losses were entailed
and eventually the publication of the
paper became a drain upon the estate,
which was charged by Joseph Pulitzer S
will to retain possession and to continue
publication. He could no. fcresee the
developments that broug 1t about the
disaster to the fortunes of the news
paper. Now the prohibition against the
sale Of the paper has been set aside,
upon the petition of the heirs, and the
paper passes to other owners, TO be
merged and virtually suspended.
In the course Of the nearly seventy
years of its existence the New York
WCrld was contributed to by many OF
the best known of American journal
lists and cartoonists. 1t had engaged
the services of brilliant staff of
writer's. 1t was an influence in Demo-
cratic party affairs and force for
good citizenship. Its passing is to be
regretted, for despite all the changes
that have taken place in the decades
of its life 1t remained an interesting
and a worthy exponent Of American
journalism.

Capone and Volpe.

Some time next Summer, perhaps
Alphonse Capone will go to jail for a
period Of six months. It is not certain,
however. cen though he was yesterday
sentenced to such term for contempt
Of court. Being on bail at the time
and having right of appeal, he walked
out Of the court room in Chicago with
his usual swagger, and, setting his natty
hat jauntily upon his head once outside
Of The doors he remarked: well, well
see what another court will do"
heretofore Mr.. Capone has had chiefly
70 20 with State courts. He has little
fear Of them. Now, however, he is
dealing with the Federal courts, and
that is another proposition altogether.
Perhaps the "otfer court" will be as
hard-boilad, in Mr.. Capone's language,
as the one that gave him his sentence
yesterday. The case is fairly clear. He
undertook TO defy the court by refusing
TO attend on summons in his income tax
case and then pleading Illness and pre-
senting evidence Of his physical inca
pacity TO obey subpoena. 1t was then
demonstrated that he was at the time
in perfect health, not at all incapaci-
tated, and was therefore guilty Of con-
tempt. For that he must go to jail as
soon as the appeals are exhausted.
1t is rather ridiculous that the only
way that this fragrant violator of the
laws, acknowledged leader of criminal
gang. beneficiary Of graft and loot
gained by crime, can be hooked in pun
ishment is by side issues and on minor
charges. He once served short term
In prison-for carrying pistol! That
was in another Jurisdiction than the
one within which he has made his for
tune by banditry.
There is still hanging over Capone
+ss Federal charge of evasion Of the
income tax law, for which, II finally
convicted, he may be sent away for a
long period. Even so, the law is at
fault in not getting him for the crimes
by means of which he amassed SUM-
e.eat fortune to make his income tax

of September 80, 1900, and by the con-
vention of April 80. 1903, France re-

realize what struggle shop tenants are

matter of moment, to him and to the
Government.
But there is some consolation that
even in little way the law is reaching
Capone. 1t is the more gratifying in
that this sentence to jail comedies with
sn order for the deportation of Tony
volpe, Capone's first lieutenant and
guard. Volpes case is a peculiar one
Evil as his career has been in this coun-
try, he could be reached for deportation
only through technicality. Some
years ago he was convicted of counter
feiting and served time. He was then
immune from deportation because he
had been for a sufficient time resident
Of the United States. But three years
ago he went to Cuba, and on his return
he became subject to the deportation
law on the ground that prior to his
latest entry into the country he had
been convicted of a crime involving
moral turpitude. He was just the same
Tony Volpe who had been jogging along
in Chicago banditry ever since his con-
viction. But his lapse of residence put
him on a new status and hence he be-
came subject to the "turpitude' clause
of the law. So now he goes out. if the
order just issued is sustained, which it
probably will be.
There is too much red tape and there
are too many legal delays in the han
ding of these cases. Capone should
long ago have been put behind bars
for a period sufficiently protracted to
protect society from his depredations.
Vo'pe should long ago have been sent
out of the country as an undesirable
alien. and there are many others who
should receive swift justice, for the sake
of the country.
