There is no claim that Diathermy is
always successful. It has, however,
shown such remarkable results on 90
many occasions that it is gradually
winning its way into the forefront OF
methods Of treatment Of pneumonia
and other diseases such as neuralgia,
rheumatism and similar diseases in
which heat Is q healing or relieving

cargo of oxygen does the curing.
Diathermy only provides the mechan-
ical means by which the blood is per-
mitted to reach the infected spots.
Ordinary household current is used
in the treatment, but the diathermy
apparatus, through series of trans
formers, raises the ITO volts to 10000
volts. just about five times the poten-
tiality which brings almost instant
death in the electric chair. A series
of spark gaps and condensers. how
ever, cuts the amperage to almost
nothing.
In diathermy, no sensation is felt
other than gradual feeling Of
warmth. The tissues, OF course, offer
resistance to the passage Of the elec-
tricity and this resistance develops
heat
When the diathermy apparatus goes
into operation. the patient within a
few minutes begins to feel warm. The
heat is carried throughout the body
of the patient and sweating Is induced
That condition, naturally. is beneficial
to the patient for it aids in eliminating
body waste.
The heat also serves to reduce the

~ NEUMONIA, dread Scourge OF
- humanity, which one year ago
claimed the lives of approx
i mately $1,000 persons in the
United States, and but recent
ly caused the death OF former Su-
preme Court Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes, is gradually yielding It's raw
ages to medical science.
New methods of treatment have
considerably cut down the mortality
rate in the last 10 years and today
the victim of this devastating disease
has a better chance to recover than
ever before.
The use of oxygen has long held
sway as a valuable life-saving aid IN
the treatment of extreme cases ana
in the late stages of pneumonia, out
there has recently been developed a
new treatment, which when resorted
to in the early period of the illness
has produced astounding results and
even in apparently hopeless cases has
resulted in remarkable cures.
Method Used Here.
This method, known as "dia-
thermy," is now in use in number
of Washington hospitals, and has been
reported as widely successful"
It is peculiar fact that this
method of treatment, first undertaken
at Staten Island Naval Hospital during
the World War to relieve the suffering
of sailors reaching New York with
pneumonia, has never commanded
much public attention.
In fact, when first tried, the man
who developed the method Of treat
ment put but little faith in 1t. his
desire being only to make less painful
the last few hours of patients who
seemed doomed to die of the lung
congestion. The fact that a large
number of his patients recovered was
charged off to confidence.
| During the years which have fol-
lowed, however, diathermy has grad
ually commanded more and more at
tention, until now it is considered by
some practitioners to rank in I'M
portance with the long successful
oxygen treatment.
Both Used on Patients.
Both diathermy and oxygen are used
on the same patient at times, but not
simultaneously, as the explosive nature
of oxygen makes this impossible. They
must be used separately. And 1t has
been found that one method OF treat
ment is a direct aid to the other.
Out at the Washington Sanitarium
at Takoma Park, Nd, diathermy has
been in use for a decade or more, not
only for pneumonia but for treatment
Of any affiiction in which heat IS
indicated for relief. Yet the claims
/ for diathermy are marked with eau
tion. Just what division of credit
should be made between diathermy.
oxygen tent and hydrotherapy is not
determined. Some times one is en-
ployed, sometimes two and sometimes
all three. The results, regardless OF
which healing agent should be princi-
pally credited, have been encouraging.
This article, however, Is concerned
with diathermy.
Relieves Heart Load.
Briefly the treatment is based on
relief of some of the terrific load
placed on the heart during the course
of pneumonia and the supplying of
an adequate flow of blood to the con-
gested areas. The blood with its

|CKES APPROVES
OIL POLICY BOARD
Orders Shell Company to
Recognize Five Unions
for California.

~ the Associated Press.
Approving a decision Of the Petro-
leum Labor Policy Board, Secretary
Ickes today ordered the Shell Oil Co.
to recognize five unions as collective
bargaining agents for all employees in
California.
The board, with Ickes' approval,
overruled the contention of previous
employe representatives that results
of an employe election should be de-
termined by departments.
Belief Of Board.
at is the belief of the board" the
decision said, that section Z, article
2 of the petroleum code crystalliZes a
legislative intent to give employees eco
nomic strength in their relationship
with their employers.
"It is obvious that this strength Is
only effective to the extent that 1t
represents the opinion or desire of
many as against the opinion or de-
sire of an individual or few.
ITO the extent, therefore, that facts
and circumstances in each case so
justify, it is the duty of the board to
certify as collective bargaining
agencies the largest possible groups
of employees, numerically speaking,
who consider themselves and who can
be considered. by present and past
objective facts and circumstances,
homogeneous and similar"
On Statewide basis, the board
found that SIG of employees voting
had chosen as their representatives

Field, Gas Well and Refinery Work.

Association of Machinists, the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Boilermakers
and Welders, the international

Helpers and the international
Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers.
May Seek Other Plans.
It added that if any individual OF
minority group complained against
agreements negotiated by the unions
the board would later determine
whether or not some other arrange
ment is necessary to protect these in
terestS."

lures in Executive Departments.
The humorous contest developed
,,nuring hearings on the bill recon-
amended by Interior Department
Secretary Harold Ickes to change
the name Of his Department to
~ the Department of Conservation
land Works.
He explained that the measure
e."..was a harmless proposal, adding
rafhat the provision which would
a7allow the President to transfer to
1.-THE conservation and works de-
partment any functions of other
- agencies if it was believed ettl-
" cheney, cooperation or economy
would be served.
90. Silcox Sees Joker
- F. A. Silcox, chief of the forest
nAservice, who had been sent by
@1Secretary of Agriculture Henry
wallace to speak for that Depart
ment, however, suggested that
there was considerably more to be
considered in the measure. He
thought he saw joker in it.
Not long ago, Mr.. Ickes was
rather seriously annoyed when
the President. under the powers
granted him in emergency legis
lation, transferred from the De
partment of Interior to the De
partment of Agriculture the soil
erosion agency.
Mr.. Silcox, explaining that he
did not want to be construed as
making any implications. suavely
suggested that the word "conserva
zion" might be too all-inclusive
adding:
"COnServatiOn is a function
running through all the depart
ments. You may as well try to
organize a department Of pros
perity. Virtually everything in
the Cover m emit could be
brought under . department Of
conservation"
No New Authority
Secretary Ickes hurried to EN-
phasize that the bill contemplates
no additional authority for his de
partment. He said:
"The basis for the new depart.
ment is the present Department
of Interior. Certainly we should
not be afraid to let the Presi-
dent transfer whatever agencies
he may think should 90 into any
one department..
"As far as that argument is
concerned, the Bureau of Roads
is being carried on as an agricul-
tural function, and that is be-
yOnd my comprehension. But
there are agencies in all the de-
partmentS which could be trans.
ferred to other departments"
