ST. LOUIS, October ia new "su-
per giant" electro-magnet for removing
bits of metal from the human body, de-
scribed as the most powerful of its kind
in the United States, was demonstrated
today for the clinical congress of the
American College of Surgeons.
Fifteen hundred pounds of wire were
used in construction Of the magnet,
which, with the mounting, weighs about
5000 pounds Its generator is powered
with 50-horsepower motor, and 1t will
lift a metal operating table from the
floor with ease.
At st. Louis University Medical
School, where it was demonstrated, its
use has been confined to removal Of
fragments from the eye. 1t is believed,
however, that its tremendous power will
make it useful in taking metallic bits
from throat, chest or abdomen with a
minimum of laceration.
Other Operations.
In another clinic surgeons witnessed
operations under a modified form OF
spinal anesthesia lately reintroduced. AS
with the earlier form, temporary but
complete paralysis of the patient is
brought about by the injections into
the spine.
Treatment of lung abscesses by pull
monary lavage was also demonstrated.

Commissioners Indicate Plan
to Ask for Funds From

Impressed with the Emergency Relief

Impressed with the Emergency Relief
Committees report on destitution in
Washington. the District Commissioners,
it was indicated today at the District
Building, probably will ask Congress as
soon as it convenes in December for an
emergency deficiency appropriation of
81 1000 900 for relief work here
1t is also expected that the Commits
sicners will seek to have Congress ap-
prove an additional appropriation for
the same purpose in the 1884 District
appropriation bill
Preparations are under way for q
joint meeting the latter part of this
week between the Commissioners and
the Board Of Public Welfare, at which
the Emergency Relief Committees re-
port will be considered and definite
plans made for relief of conditions out
lined in the committee report. The
date for the joint meeting has not been
SET
Prospect Of Starvation.
The Emergency Relief Committee
pointed out in its report that unless
additional funds are provided to con-
tinue its activities. there is prospect of
starvation facing some Of Washington S
unemployed this Winter.
An appropriation of $3.50, 900 provided
for relief Of the unemployed, the COM
mlttee said, has been used to a point
where it can care for food and a few
necessities only until December. The
committee already had decided to pay
no more money for rent and has ap-
lad to he
eral Government and private property
owners to help In carrying the destitute
who cannot pay rent
The seriousness of the situation was
emphasized by the Commissioners late
yesterday when they warned a group
of citizens that the saving Of even So. 300
by leaving a cupola off of a school
building was important at the moment
as they were faced with a request from
the Board Of Public Welfare for emer-
gency appropriations to care for the
hungry and homeless.
Limited Monthly Fund.
In order to stretch the rapidly dwin-
ding appropriation of S350,000. the Re-
lief Committee found it necessary to
limit expenditures for all purposes to
s60,000 a month until November IS
Unless additional public funds are made
available by some extraordinary
means" the committee said there will
be many cases in the next six months
Of destitute, homeless and helpless
families and perhaps deaths by star
vation.
The report showed the committee is
now aiding 4,18l families, representing
12.724 individuals. Relief given these
families, the committee declared, al
ready has been reduced almost to the
pont of futility.
The Board Of Public Welfare esti.
mates for the next fiscal year are nov
under consideration at the Budget Bu-
reau and If additional funds are to be
sought for employment relief in the
appropriation bill, the Commissioners
IL was said, will have to make a re-
quest in the near future, before the
budget hearings are concluded. The
Commissioners, however, are not per-
mitted by law to reveal the details OF
their requests.
