Basal MetabOiism Test in Plastic
 Surgery
 A while ago something printed here plainly hinted that basal me- tabolism tests are hokum of the machine age of what was once in- deed tho art of medicine.
 A hot-cha specialist or his at- trnctive office girl or ncar-nurse trundling a basal metabolsim out fit hither and yon to measure the patients metabolism somehow re- minds me of the gadgets they fur nish in the notions departments of accessory stores--you know, the attachments which save 26 per cent of your gas and oil yet give you 25 per cent more speed, pickup or time for healing.
 But I want to give this nasal me- tabollsm thing q fair break. Many of my too well equipped colleagues may not believe 1t, but for year have been combing current mcdi- cal literature and guerying physi- clans and specialists everywhere in quest of good reason, If any, for measuring metabolisrn with q machine. And finally have found something.
 In the course of G paper on "1icconstructivc Surgery and Old Facial Burns" read curiously enough, before the Section on Gem cral and Abdominal Surgery Of the American Medical association in Milwaukee last June, Dr Howard l.. Updegraff, distinguished sculp- tural surgeon of Hollywood, and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. pointed out that in or der to achieve tho desired smooth ness of healing it is necessary to carry out considerable routine pre- operative work, such as urinalysis, red and white blood counts, differ cntia1, bleeding and clotting timo and Wasscrman test. Then he made this interesting observation:

Without exception in a large series of burned patients with kelold scars we have found markedly low metabolic rate. l believe that the increased concentration of tho

Much of the success in using grease paint foundations for fancy dress parties lieS in leaving on just the right amount of cleansing cream. So you may have 10 ex- perimentsa couple of times before the grease paint goes on smoothly.
 Put e Small amount (one dot on each cheek and one on your forehead) of yellow grease paint over the foundation and work it into your skin. Begin at the base of your throat if your costume has . low neckllne, or just under your chin If 1t has q high one.

 When tbe doctor tells Gypsy elTg fs t0 have baby shc gives up her j0b. Summer comes on and ls intensely iOf. Gypsy and Tom move tO q cottage on Long Island GwDcd by friend.
 Lila makes an unexpected call e fife cottage. She seems restless and disconfcntcd and for fbe nTst time Gypsy Is sorry for her instead of cnvying her.
 CHAPTER XXI
 Tho summer waned all too swiftly. Blue days, golden days there were in August, when Gypsy flung her arms aioft for sheer joy in living. when there was not q cloud in the sky: when the borders blazcd with phlox and larkspur and ztnulas: when the nights were drenched with dew and you wax . ened 10 cool, scented, blowy morn- ings.
 There never was such sun- Na Blue Hills in the shabby car and there were picnics on the grass under the laden apple trees. Steaks were broiled over the crude outdoor oven. Tom rushed home early, cxulting in the luxury of his own vine and fig tree. and there were two wonderful weeks when he wns home altogether. "Of course, 1t isn't q real vaca- tlon." Gypsy sighed, wistful more for him than for herself. ''But it's fun anyway"
 The corn rlpcned under the sun along the highways. The fruit hung heavy on the trees. Hay was Hacked in golden tents in the fields. And on ono gorgeous day in late September GypBy's child WhB DOTns SHe nhH UeeO rubHeu to the city hospital the night be- fore. For 10 long hours she had writhcd fin pain, digging her nails into her flesh, trying 10 gtlflc the cries that were wrung from her. At g o'clock the baby's vail sounded and the watching young husband, pacing inc corridor out side, sagged against the distcfn percd walls in nn agony of relief.
 "fts over, it's over" he whls- pered. When they allowed him in to sec her an hour later she was lying white and seemingly broken in the narrow bed. Only her eyes were alive, moving alcrtly in her tanned young face.

blood over q long period, following large burns, produces q partial as- phyxiation Of the tissues, which permanently damages the mechan- ism controlling the metabolic rate. The administration of thyroid sub- stance by mouth has markedly im- proved the keloids under our ob. servation and in certain hypertro- phic scars has been almost spe- cific."
 Kelo1d is the name doctors give to excessive formations of scar (hypcrtrophic means overgrown). (. Often the heaped up scar has fin- gcr-like projections into the >sur- rounding normal skin, resembling q claw--the term ke1oid is derived from a Greek word meaning claw.
 Patients sometimes complain of a ! clawing sensation. Certain indi-
 viduals seem particularly disposed
 to develop excessive scar from
 trifling injury. Even from pim- pie or from clectrolysls of hair
 f0llicle, or from insect bite. In q few instances kefoids spontaneous
 Iy disappear after year. As a rule they remain permanently.
 However, x-ray or radlum treat mcnt will usually convert them per-
 manently into flat flexible whitc scars, Skilled plastic surgery is the ideal treatment where this Is feasible.

That District bill which Repre-
sentative Louis Ludlow introduced
in Congress last week to provide
for the settling of the estates Of
missing persons and absconders
was written by Attorney George
C. Gertman, secretary Of the Dis
trict Bar Association.
Only one State has such a
statute Massachusetts,.
Under the provisions of the Dis
trict bill, when a man leaves the
District without m aking his
whereabouts known and a diligent
search fails to disclose his where
aboutS, any interested person
may sue for a receiver to be ap-
pointed for his property.
Must Be Held IA Years
The receiver will hold the prop
erty for the benefit of his wife
and his creditors for a period Of
IA years after which it will be
liquidated for his heirs-at-laW just
as though he were dead.
Other States which have stat
utes allowing this form of pro-
cedure, other than Massachusetts,,
require an exhorbitant bond
which makes the procedure vir.
tually impossible.
Incidentally, Massachusetts, has
some other very fine laws. Her
Workmen's Compensation Law is
much better than the New York
law, on which our local act is pat
termed, according to lawyers who
have practiced under the MaSsa-
chusettS statute.
The burdenSome equity proceed
ing is dispensed with and appeals
are tried de novo in law courts.
Lawyers fees are more equitable
under that law also.

NeIU Canadian Bond
Sales Up In Month

New Canadian bond issues in
January amounted to $43, ,799 900,
as compared with $20,353,61O in
January, 1888, according to sta
tiStics prepared by Dominion Sc
curities Corporation. All bonds
sold were obligations of provin-
cial governments. The largest
issue was a $40,000,000 loan of
the Province of Ontario.
This issue and loans of $3,000,-
900 and $4,000 of the Provinces
of Nova Scotia and New Bruins
wick, respectively, were all pay
able in Canadian funds only and
were entirely placed within the
Dominion.
The three issues were quickly
absorbed, the $40,000,00O Ontario
issue being oversubscribed on the
day of offering. Ontario sold 4
per cent and AZ per cent bonds
at prices to yield from 1856 per
cent to 4.78 per cent. Two years
ago the same province found it
necessary to sell bonds with 512
per cent and 6 per cent coupons.

Management Pushes
General Baking ROU

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 GN.S0.
Emphasizing an upturn in its
sales since the first of the year,
the General Baking Company
management today hit back at
the stockholders group which
started a proxy battle for control
to be decided at the annual meet
ing on February Is.
In response to criticisms of the
group headed by William Dein-
niger and Louis j. Kolb, the man
agement cited adverse factors on
earnings in the last year, particu-
larly free distribution of flour by
Federal, State and city govern
mentS, the increased costs under
NRA and the processing taxes.

called who scout business in GRIM
inal courts for unethical lawyers,
are in for a hard time, Henry I.
Quinn, chairman Of the Bar AS
sociation's Police Court Commit
tee, promises.
The committee was selected by
President F. Regis Noel, with q
particular idea in mind. He
wanted the members to be men
who could not be influenced by
acquaintance or outside knowl-
edge.
Committee Personnel
Accordingly he selected men
who had not been in Police Court
for at least IL years or who had
never practiced there at all.
Besides Quinn, the committee
includes Louis Gutenberg, H. H.
Shinnick, Sidney F. Taliaferro,
Joseph D. Sullivan, Henry w.
Sohon, Dean Hill Stanley, Paul
Sleman, Maurice D. Rosenberg,
Oliver Metzerott, Paul E. Lesh
and George P. Hoover.
No Bar Association meeting Is
complete unless there is an open
forum discussion and Attorney
w. c. Sullivan takes a side against
his big brother, George.
There seems a probability that
the Federal Bar Association and
the District Bar Association will
hold their annual dinner jointly.
The reason, as expressed by
some, is that there have been too
many law dinners each year and
a better party" can be thrown"
if the Federals and locals go in
together.
William A. Roberts. president Of
the Federal group, is said to favor
the idea and no objection has
been raised by the District bar.

By The Wall Street Spectator

NEW YORK, Jan. 90 GN.S0.
The market starts the new week
pretty we'll on the spot. While
the aviation stocks and a few
others whooped things up in the
last two days, the rest of the list
just muddled along.
This lack of pep in the leaders
Is responsible for a good deal OF
caution. Wall Street is still con-
fident of higher prices, but can't
see how the general market can
go places until the steels and
rails step out.
The uncertainty about regula-
tion of the exchange should be
pretty well cleared up now.
While Speaker Rainey insists
there will be no legislation at
this session of Congress, a law
according to the recommended
tions Of the Dickinson committee
wouldn't work any hardship. in
fact, there are many in the Street
who are convinced that some
form Of Federal supervision would
be a good thing as long as the
exchange is permitted a measure
of self rule.
The Governments curtailment
drive is making traders friendly
to cotton again.
Anent that flareup in Sperry
Corporation, our wag says that
maybe the Administration is
going to use some horoscopes in

ton fund.

row afternoon, is expected to be

turn shown by Bethlehem.
