In fact the French govern
ment appears to be a sort Of
partner with the companies. In
its contracts are included joint
profit and liability clauses. For
example, in the contract for
the Far East service from Mar
seilles the French government
assumes 80 per cent of the liza

possible profits.
In the Brazil and River Plata
contract the government of
France takes a 80 per cent liza
bility and the same percentage
of possible profits.
The testimony given by Mr..
SaugStad shows, as Representa-.

out, that "The French govern

The Human Side of the News

A little girls stomach is up
side down and she is brought
halfway across the country so
that a surgeon might restore it
to it's natural position. In like
manner. the heart of man is
lifted from its place while two
stitches are made in it to repair
a wound. The organ is re-
placed and he lives. ,y
Day after day such incidents
come up to start us to thinking
about the Men in White" as
they are known in the imagin-
ative language of the screen
and the stage.
Day after day, also, thousands
of cases occur in which vital
organs of the bodies of thou
sands of human beings are
mended, repaired and cured of
disease on the operating table.
We do not hear of these.
The medical profession is
tight-lipped and looks askance
on that member who will pub
licize an operation or cure.
It is difficult to believe that
modern surgery is less than a
century old and equally difficult
to realize that only in the last
80 or 40 years has it made the
advances which have enabled it
to overcome the fears and the
suspicious of the layman.

AS it appeared at the time
they had increased the 49,
million-dollar estimates for Sec
retary of Navy Claude A. Swan
sons department to more than
$40 million dollars.
Although the country is de.
manding that the Navy be in
creased, some of the committee
members were doubtful as to
whether they should approve a
supply bill Of more than half a
billion dollars.
SO they recalled Navy officials
and went over some of the items
for the second time.
In all probability, however,
when the bill which is almost
ready for report to the full com.
mittee, goes to the House it will
contain a few millions more
than budget estimates.
House members have often
been called a rather rough and

It is a general popular error
to suppose the loudest complain

produced anesthesia; Faraday
in 1918 had discovered the
same thing about ether.
Little attention was paid to
these findings. They were
merely "curiosities.'' 81 The march
of science may be slow today,
but it is Glenn Cunningham
pace compared to what it was
a century ago.
We have only to go back to
our fathers or grandfatherS to
fix the time when the only re.
course was amputation of the
limb when a broken bone had
penetrated the skin. Infection
was certain as death if this
was not done. The same was
true and more so on the bat
tlefields of Europe in 1914.
The brilliant Alexis Carrel,
even then an outstanding sur
geon of the world, was shocked
by the conditions. Attached to
the French army hospital at
Lyons, he saw men by the
hundreds die, not so much
from their severe wounds but
from the infections.
Wars are fought in mud and
dirt. They have been since
time immemorial. The doctors
seemingly had all they could do
to devote their attention to
those who had the best chances
of recovery.
Where the infection was deep
or widespread, the only effort
was relief of the victims pain.
In our war with Spain many an
American soldier died because
there was no cure" for bullet
wounds in the abdomen. Car
rel would be bound by no such
tradition or custom. He called
in the chemist, Dakin. Within
a year they had found what
they wanted-the Dakin solu-
tion-an antiseptic for wounds,
no matter how deep.
WORST SCOURGE
Even then they had to con-
vince their doubtful brethren of
the efficacy Of their discovery.
Thus infection was conquered
and countless thousands of lives
were saved.
The recognition by physicians
and layn1en of the values Of
aSeptic cleanliness is the out
standing development in surgery
in the past half century, accord
ing to DR.. j. Bentley Squier. 1t
made modern surgery possible
by reducing the great toll which
blood poisoning used to take in
operations.
The development of the
great technique, says DR.. Squier,
is no more than straight think
ing by the surgeon. This last
statement of DR.. Squier's is in
line with the assertion that sur
gerry as a craft is no more diff
ficult to learn than carpentry.
1t is judgment which makes the
great surgeon.
He must know the risk in
volved. Brilliance of brain,
dexterity of hand and long ex.
perience make for the master.
The dread of the knife has
largely become a thing of the
past since any number Of statis-
tics may be quoted showing re-
