WATER IN THE LUNGS

The common belief is that the
cause of death in drowning is the
filling of the lungs with water.
AS rule little or no water is found
in the lungs of person who has died
by drowning.
The most characteristic finding in
drowning case is the presence of
blood-tinged mucous froth in the
windpipe and overdistension or con-
gestion of the blood vessels Of the
lining Of the windpipe. The lungs are
usually congested, too, and perhaps
more Sodden than they should be, but
they float in water and if the air
spaces contain any liquid at all 1t is
only spoonful or two, not enough
to shut out air.
What, then. causes death In drown
ing?
There are several theories to &C.
count for it. Each of them may ap-
ply in certain instances.
1. Conclusion from violent contact
of the chest, head or back with the
surface Of the water, or with banks
OF stream or with rocks or the bot
tom Of a shallow pool.
2. Exhaustion from prolonged vio-
lent effort to keep afloat or to swim
against current, wind or wave.
3. Cerebral congestion from effu-
sion Of serum or blood in the brain
during the first struggles for air.
4. Apoplexy themorrhage into the
brain) from the same cause.
S. Syncope ,fainting, shock from
fright.
6. Few physicians now give much
credence to the hypothetical "cramp'
The only ''cramp" of which We know
is that which occurs after prolonged
effort in very cold water, and this
loss OF power in the muscles is only
! partial, scarcely sufficient to account
for drowning.
! 7. Suffocation from spasm o.
+, larynx produced by choking on some
water.
8. Air mbolism-bubbles of air &C.
GLIDING pulmonary arteries or the
coronary artery chat supplies the
heart walD, the air being forced inte
the circulation either by violent con.
vulsive efforts or. in some instances
by sudden compression Of the lungs
as by belly splash dive or by {
hard blow over the solar plexus.
Recently DR.. Peter Karpovitch
professor Of physiology In Springfield
college found by experiment that rat!
invariably have water in the lungs
when drowned.
In medical jurisprudence it ha'
been assumed that the absence o
any water in the lungs is evidence
against death by drowning, but il

authorities that no water is found II

mental and physical peculiarities,
common and rare, which divide hu-
mainly into numerous types and be-
inss, are now believed to be regulat-
ed by the ductless glands.
"What are these ductless glands,
which exercise so important an in
fluence upon the human economy?
First, 1t must be understood that a
gland Is an organ whose duty 1t is to
manufacture a substance contributing
to the proper functioning OF the
body. Some glands have ducts;
others do not. The salivary glands
and kidneys are examples of glands
with ducts. However, in the present
discussion We are concerned with
glands that have no ducts but dis
charge their secretions directly into
the circulating blood. These are the
ductless or endocri11e glands, also
known as the glands of internal Sec
retion. Some glands, for example,
the pancreas, appear to serve simult-
aneously as duct and ductless organs.
manufacturing both an internal and
external secretion.
"A ductless gland performs its
functions through a secretion known
as a hormone. This chemical sub
stance, when carried by the blood
stream, excites or arouses an associa-
ted organ to functional activity.
Thus, for example, the hornone OF
the thyroid gland is concerned,
among other things, with the ply
steal and mental development Of the
body. Each ductless gland manufac-
lures one or more specific hormones
which acts directly upon the tissue
concerned or indirectly through that
portion OF the nervous system over
which we have no control. Moreover,
the ductless glands are as interrelat-
ed as the links of a chain. Abnor-
mality Of one ductless gland usually
means a disturbance of function in
the others.
The most important glands pos
sessing an internal secretion may
here be mentioned. They are the
thyroid, parathyroids, the suprare-
mails, the pituitary, the thymus, the
pineal, certain portions Of the pam
creas and the reproductive glands.
In addition there are other struc-
lures which may possess an internal
secretion but about which compare
lively little is known. These are the
spleen, the prostate, and the two tiny
pcalike carotid glands, one on either
side Of the neck. The kidney, liver
duodenum. mammary glands and
other organs Of the body arc said also
to have internal secretions, but this
has not been scientifically verified"
There was lot more, all OF II not
off the scientific griddle, which leaves
us In a daze. There really is more
to us than we thought. Perhaps the
human race will see day when med
ical science will control how big we
shall be, whether We shall be smart
mr. dumb and a host of other sim.
liar items.
Even now the proposition has its
advantages. Think what a swell alibi
1t would make. Instead Of admitting
our sins, public or domestic, We could
deftly lay all blame upon a mis-
guided thyroid or a badly behaved
suprarenal.

Lest We FORGET

In the struggle for proper ADJUST
lnent of our agricultural, commercial
and industrial machinery. we are apt
to forget the truly important facts
in the national situation which make
our current problems both impressive
and ridiculous.
We have, here in America, some
123.000,O00 people. some Of them in
want. some In luxury. the majority In
neither condition but outstanding
their resources in fear Of they know
not what. OF that total approx
mately 100000 are depositors in
savings banks and the total to their
credit is around $4,000 100000.
More people are carrying life in
surance now than during any previ-
Gus decade In our history, the total
value OF the policies being we'll above
a hundred billion dollars. Our ma
tional treasury shows itself lin the
red," yet it is crammed with gold,
the largest supply ever held by a
single nation.
The coal, oil, timber, water power.
iron, copper and precious metals
which we counted as assets In our
national balance sheet still exist
They are as valuable now as they
were before. Our ability to produce
all OF these things rs we'll as an
abundance OF food IS unmatched In
history.
Less than half the homes in our
country have bath tubs. II factories
making these useful articles were to
work full time for few years this
condition would be greatly relieved
If not entirely eliminated.
Many rural homes would like cleo
trio service. Makers Of home gene
rating sets have the capacity to meet
a much greater demand and public
utility companies would be glad to
extend this service II they thought
they dared.
The keynote to the whole situation
may be the ability and the nerve to
dare. This nation came into being
through the willingness of our FORE
fathers to do just that. In little
more than a century it rose to first
place in the world. partly because of
its natural resources but principal
~ because its manhood numbered
enough men who were willing TO
think constructively and to dare
great things that their hopes might
be achieved.
Those were not the days of giants,
rs some would have us believe. The
people Of generation ago were not
as enlightened, on the whole, as the
people OF today. They had less to
work with. less to hope for, yes, and
less to look forward to.
But they kept their faith in their
country and in themselves. They
wrought an empire from a wilder
ness.
The blood which coursed their veins
runs in ours. The faith which they
had in this land was bequeathed to
us. It is not dead now. It will re-
assert itself again. And when it does
we shall wonder what it was that
allied us and the country during these
days.
When We again believe In ourselves
and in our destiny as nation. and
when We act upon that belief. our
poor little rich country will no
longer be poor Actual want will dis
appear and the desire for advance
1nent. which IS characteristic Of this
nation, will again become the DOM
mating note OF q revivified America.

 PRINCETON COURT
Eli's in New Jersey To- night For Return Tilt With Tigers

Princeton, N. J., February 22 Alumni making the annual mid- winter trek to Princeton today for the extensive Washington's birth day athletic program are to receive an unexpected treat. In addition to the basketball game with Yale in the afternoon a hockey contest has been arranged for the evening in which the Tigers will play off their present tie with Harvard. The Princeton sextet has met the Crim- son on two previous occasions this season, winning on the home ice, GA, and losing at Cambridge, 5-4
 Last Saturday night, when the Orange and Black puck chasers made 1t two straight over Yale, one of the largest crowds in Baker his tory, was in attendance to watch the home team eke out a 2-1 vic tory. A capacity throng of 5000 may be on hand again tomorrow but 1t will require large eleventh hour ticket demand to bring this about.
 Even if Princeton performs the difficult task of winning tonight the Tigers way to an American in- tercollegiate championship is bar red by Dartmouth. The rapidly im- proving Green team must be met at Hanover on Saturday and again at Princeton one week later.
 Tonight's sport calendar at Jun- gletown is g. well-rounded ono. Sharing the spotlight with the hockey game is the afternoons basketball contest, wherein the Tigers, league champions twelve months ago, will be making last ditch stand against Yale, the odds on favorite for this seasons title. Absolute victory will clinch the championship for the Ellis, an Orange and Black success will give the local team 8 chance to stay in the race.
