Diaphragm Irritation
Will Cause Hiccoughs
BY DIR. NORRIS HBE
Editor. Journal OF the American Medical Association.
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine

Attention again is focused on hiccoughs because OF
the case Of a young woman who was subject to this
disorder recently for a considerable number Of days
Hiccoughs is almost the opposite OF a cough. In
hiccoughs. the diaphram. which is the large muscle
between the chest cavity and the abdominal cavity,
is suddenly contracted. AT the same time. the valve in
the throat. called the CLOTHS. which shuts off the wind
pipe, is suddenly closed on the air which is rapidly
being inhaled. This produces the peculiar sound call
ed hiccoughs.
There are many different causes Of this condition
Sometimes there is inflammation in the abdominal or
ganS which irritates the diaphram. Sometimes it re-
suits from a distension or swelling Of the stomach as
the result of too much food. or the formation Of gas,
or the swallowing Of too much air.
In other cases. the condition is the result Of swal-
lowing very hot foods or drinks.
In addition to these local causes. 1t must be remem-
bered that the d~iaphram is controlled in its move
ments BY a nerve. and when this nerve is irritated it
may stimulate contraction Of the diaphram and there
by produce repeated hiccoughs.
Thus. hiccoughs appear in conditions in which
there is Of the brain in the region where
the nerve controlling the diaphram arises.
There are also cases where hiccoughs seem TO be UNI
associated with anything physical and in which they
are purely a nervous disorder. There are cases OF
hySterical hiccoughs. Because Of this fact. mild forms
Of hiccoughs can sometimes be stopped by focusing the
attention elsewhere.
Coughing. sneezing. swallowing ice, vinegar OF cold
water. or vomiting may yield relief. pulling out the
tongue will stop the attack in some cases.
There are cases OF hiccoughs stopped by having
the patient breathe into a paper bag and reminding
the breath that has passed out. This breath is full OF
carbon dioXide. Stimulation Of the breathing brought
about by inhaling carbon dioxide seems to stop the
hiccoughS.
When hiccoughs persist to The point Of exhaustion,
more serious remedies must be tried. In such cases
the doctor injects narcotic drugs which depress the
nerve action.
In the most serious cases, surgical operations may be
used in which the nerve controlling the diaphram Is
CONSTRUCTED and its contractions stopped in that manner

PARK BANK LIABILITY
REVIEW PLEA FILED
Petitioners Take Issue With De-
cision Dividing Savings De.
positors Into Two Glasses.

The United States Supreme Court
has been asked to review the question
Of whether directors of the Park Saw
ings Bank can be held Individually
and personally liable to depositors who
placed money in the institution after
its Alabama charter expired August
80, 1929.
The petition for review was fled by
John w. Thompson and by John F.
Moran, the receiver of the bank, who
points out this is one of q group of
cases involving the liability Of direc-
tors and stockholders of banks or
ganized under State laws and doing
business in the District.
The petitioners take issue with the
decision of the District Supreme Court
in dividing depoSitors in the in
solvent Parks Savings Bank into
two classes by holding that the direc-
tors as trustees must accoun to those
who were depositors on the date the
banks charter expired, but that de-
positors after that date may not main
tain an action against the directors
individually.
The Court Of Appeals affirmed this
ruling, and the petitioners are asking
the Supreme Court for writ Of GER
tiorari to review this decision. The
court has not yet passed on the re-
quest for review.

The romance started eight years

Greenway. Recently, with Mrs.
Greenway's assistance, Hauswald was

dated Indictment in Texas
P. W. A. Charges.

The Government will take an ap-
peal from a recent District Supreme
Court decision invalidating an indict-

appeal was announced after Solicitor

such action.
The indictment, which named seven
men, marked the first major graft
charge growing out of the administra-
ton of P. w. A. funds. The canal was
proposed to irrigate a large area in
Willacy County, but the project was
abandoned after the graft charges had
been brought to the attention of Sec
retary Ickes.

Opposing Forces Dig In,
With Action Unlikely,

The Washington Airport battle was
at a temporary standStill over the
week end. with opposing forces dug
in" and holding their positions, ac-
cording to congressional observers.
Faced with certain objection to con-
sideration of his Military road bill
under unanimous consent, Chairman
McSwain of the House Military Affairs
Committee today proposed to let the
whole matter rest for day or two TO
await developments. There is little
prospect of House action of any kind

of the coming week, it was said.

for construction Of highway ap-
proaches to Washington which would
permit the closing Of Military road,

asking an open hearing of the County
Board
A new element was injected into the
congressional situation yesterday when
Representative Nichols of Oklahoma,
a member of the Airport Subcommit-

announced that he will object to pas
sage of the McSwain bill by unani-
nous consent Nichols is opposed to
outright transfer of Military road to
Arlington County. as proposed in the
McSwain bill as amended.
Nichols opposition will make it i'm
possible for McSwatn to get the bill
through on the consent calendar and
probably will force him to seek a spe-
cial rule for its consideration.
