The Grim Dane, Niels Ryberg
Finsen, if he were back now and
needing headlines, might smile.
He smiled in his time over other
turns Of fortune no less grotesque.
Smiled even when they told him
he was doomed, and said would
like to see my own autospy"
So today'S news might amuse
him, since it was he who was ex-
PEELED from school for small
ability" jeered as fanatic"
and he who became father of the
ultra violet.
With violet radiation from
a lamp-the counterpart of the
suns invisible radiation-they are
curing skin tuberculosis now.
They are curing ricketts,. They are
treating a score of other diseases
and finding favorable results.
Finsen, the Dane, showed the
way.
But before he did that he set
out to prove that sunlight had
properties both curative and irri-
tating.
Keep the ultraviolet rays away
from smallpox patients, he said.
and their blisters would not be-
come infected. That talk, the
savantS of Blegdan hospital, in
Copenhagen, thought, was prepos-
ferrous.
pUT in the fall of that year,
~ 1894, smallpox as an cpl
demic swept over Copenhagen,
and Finsen had his chance. He
put patients in rooms screened
with heavy red curtains. He shut
out the ultra violet. With red
blankets he kept infection out of
the victims blisters.
Still, this was a negative result.
Shutting out light hardly proved
that letting in light could in other
cases be beneficial Yet that was
exactly what Finsen was contend
ing. The unseen ultra violet rays,
he believed, could be as helpful in
some diseases as they were irri-
tating in the smallpox wards.
He tried to convince the strick-
en- Danish engineer Mogensen.
To doctor after doctor Mogensen
had gone, and still his skin tuber-
culosis was spreading He was so
desperate that at last he fell in
with FinSen's absurd idea.
He would try sunlight, he said.
But in Denmark in November
there is not much sunlight. Fin
sen said, Never mind"
L will make a sun for you," he
said.
1t was crude, that first arti-
fetal star, that shone in Denmark
"a carbon arc light not much
different from the Copenhagen
street lamps, only stronger.
But it truly was a star, a sun,
and, shining, it bathed Mogen-
sens poor face in rays so deeply
violet that they were beyond the
eyes seeing.
THROUGH all the next month,

But they do know, though, that
in some experiments groups of
children, each in approximately
the same stage of tuberculosis,
have differed in reaction-one
group receiving violet from
lamps, the other, living otherwise
the same life, receiving none. The
groups that got the lamps violet
showed better chances of recovery.
In a field where the rays are
needed not as germ killers, but as
bone builders, their use is de-
veloped even more Spectacularly.

not any more topple over with
ricketts,.
The lamps shine on children in
hospital wards and school rooms.
Cows, as the headlines a little
while ago proclaimed, did get an
ultraviolet bath.
The milk folks have worked
wonders with it. They are ir-
radiating the cows udders, and
the milk grows strong, straight

He. with fortitude, and Finsen,
with fanaticism, chung to the idea
now. They went on with the treat
ments, and Mogensen, with an
incurable skin tuberculosis, was
cured.
The medicos hailed Finsen. Fin
sen institute was founded. Finsen
was famous. But he was disap-
pointed.
1t took too long to cure skin
tuberculosis that way. The way
was too uncertain. He had to have
a stronger light.
Night and day he worked on
that. How to get a light that
would be powerful enough in
ultra violet and yet not burn the
patient to a blister? How? Well,
by trying new ways to make a
lamp.
That way came the Finsen light,
forerunner of the ultra violet lamps
(Some of them even stronger in
ultra violet than the noon-high
SUM that Westinghouse and Cen
eral Electric are ready to put into
homes anywhere today.
1t was a mighty thing, the Fin
sen light, mighty in size and in
significance; it wrought strange
cures and won the Nobel prize
and put sick Niels Finsen into the
encyclopedias.
1T had 10000 candle power, or 40
Il times more than the ordinary
arc street lamp. 1t burned a spe-
cially made carbon.
The light was so intense that
the stricken ones who sought its
rays could not look at it with
their naked eyes and wore blue
glasses.
1t was not hot, though. Finsen
made that blazing suns rays shine
through quartz lenses. He cooled
the lenses with flowing water.
He prevented all but the ultra
violet and blue rays from passing
through, and he cured lupus ulcers
-tubercular ulcers of the skin
that had been called beyond any
cure.

work, unmindful of vast acclaim,

The police lost the coupe at Co.

just after the driver had thrown the
suitcase containing the alcohol into
the street. A man and woman were
reported to be in the coupe.

able to do with light baths, in
stead of with the intense concen-
tration of light of the great lamp
upon a circumscribed surface.
Still not contented and wondering,
he died before he could find out.
Years passed before his fol-
lower, AXel Reyn, took to the idea,
and then in Finsen institute, Reyn
devised two great carbon arc
lamps that irradiated patients
from head to foot.
Naked, eight people tried it, sat
in the lamps blue glare many
days-saw their bodies grow
tanned, saw their skin tubercu-
losis dry up, vanish.
THAT was because ultra violet
l. rays kill some germs. West
inghouse has moving pictures now
which show the actual germ de-
struction under the invisible light
from its tungsten lamps. The
cells, within few minutes after
the light falls on them, seem to
grow paralyzed, then blow up.
The lights are being used, too,
experimentally in treating pull
monary tuberculosis. But how the
ultra violet can help that deep
seated threat, how it can pene-
trate not only through the skin,
but down into the lungs, the sci

INDIANA HOME
LOAN OFFICIALS
ARE SELECTED
Van Mugs Chooses Ap-
praiSerS and Attorneys
for 81 Counties.
BY WALKER STONE
Times Special Writer


WASHINGTON, July S.-Senator
Frederick Van Nuys today an
nounced the names of the men he
has recommended for appointment
as home loan attorneys and APP
praisers in the ninety-two Indiana
counties.
It is understood that tentative
approval has been given by the
federal home loan bank board to
all of Senator Van Mugs recon-
mendations.
In all counties except Marion,
the attorneys and appraisers we're
chosen by the senator in collabora-
ton with the Indiana members Of
the house OF representatives.
Appointment of a state manager
was not announced. Several men
are being considered for the berth.
Adolph Seidensticker, Indlanap-
oils lawyer. is the personal choice
of Senator Van Mugs for the posi-
ton of home loan attorney for Ma
rion county. and Frank Viehmann,
indianapolis real estate man, ike
wise was picked personally by the
senator to be home loan appraiser
for Marion county.
Rebuke To Ludlow
Senator Van Mugs is in Michigan
on a vacation, but at his office To-
dav it was said that the senator
made the Marion county selections
without consulting Representative
Louis Ludlow or Representative Will
liam H. Larabee, because Indian
apolis is the senator's home city.
However, the senator's action gen.
orally is construed as a rebuke 10
Representative Ludlow. who repre-
sents the western half of Marion
county. and whose votes in the re-
cent special session of congress
against certain administration
measures displeaSed the senator ana
other leaders of the Indiana Demo-
cratic organization.
Representative Larabee represents
Hancock and Madison counties ana
the eastern half of Marion county.
Representative Larabee's wishes
were consulted in the appointments
in Hancock and Madison counties.
In releasing the list of names, it
was said at Senator Van Mugs office
that the senator wanted to express
his appreciation of the cooperation
of Indiana congressman"
Some Not Qualified
| A few of the recommendations OF
house members we're eliminated.
Some of these nominations, it is be-
lieved, we're not satisfactory to the
senator and the party organization,
and others. it is known, were re-
lected by the Federal Home Loan
Bank board as being not qualified
for the positions.
The county home loan appraisers
and attorneys will be paid on fee
basis. The present plan is to allow
fee of SIS for each appraisal to
both the county appraiser and at
torney, the fee to be paid by the
home owner who applies for loan.
Applications for loans under the
home owners loan law will not be
considered on homes valued in ex-
cess of $4,000, and loans will be
made only to home owners in dis
tress and unable to finance their
mortgages elsewhere.
1t is estimated that for period
of two or three years, the Marion
county appraiser and attorney will
earn fees averaging in the neigh
borhood of $500 to $500 month.
In many of the rural counties, it is
estimated, fees to attorneys and APP
praisers will average less than $40
a month.

WASHINGTON, July "a desire

Long delays in making the codes

entertained by those associated with

Administrator Hugh Johnson en-
phasized that the government in
tends to see that all labor, organ

deal But he reiterated that the in

propose to act as an agency to pro-

Both Statements Wrong
Johnson said literature purport-
ing to come from labor unions had
intimated or openly stated that the
government planned to unionize all
labor.
Similar statements from industrial
concerns have intimated that work
ers would have to join company
unions to benefit under the act.
Both statements are incorrect,
Johnson declared, and such err

its administration tend to foment
misunderstanding and discord."
