oriented in the past and completely
confused in the present.
This, as quoted by DR.. Syz, was a
customary reaction of the patient in
the hospital: Il think I am in hos
pital but there is something wrong. 1
can't be sure when I came here. We
should have the 18th of January but
there is something wrong. 1t Is al
most Spring outside. I saw my wife
the last time, if I am to say it as I
feet it, yesterday, the day before the
accident. But when I think it over
realize that something must have
happened in between. 1t is not Winter
any more and my wife must have been
told something"
His daughter came to see him. He
greeted her affectionately and Won
dered that she already had heard OF
the accident. although it had hap
pened sometime before. She left the
room and returned a few minutes
later. Again he greeted her as be-
fore. The same entrance and greeting
were repeated a third time.
Hypnosis Experiments Begun.
After three years had gone by the
experiments in hypnosis were started
and it was found that the mans men,
ory for the immediate past was much
better in his subconScious than in his
conscious mind. He would be put to
sleep with instructions to wake up e.
a certain time. 1t was found that he
could obey such a command after an
interval of from to 10 minutes
much longer than he ordinarily re-
membered anything. With repeated
sessions this interval of subconSciouS
remembering became longer and
longer. DR.. Syz also found that when
hypnotized the man could be made
to talk of events after the accident
which he could not recall when awake.
Constant training while the man
was hypnotized, together with other
psychological treatments, gradually re-
established the broken memory paths
in the patients mind so that he was
able to remember better when he was
awake. Eventually he left the hospital,
with his memory for immediate events
almost as good as ever, except that the
three-year interval after the accident
constituted an almost total void in his
life. Eventually he was so far i'm
proved that he was able to keep joh
as clerk in bank which involved con-
siderable bookkeeping and ability to
remember figures.

Law Spares Many Jobs.
There is no way to estimate the
amount of good that this law has
done. 1t certainly has enabled many
assets to be preserved and has spared
the jobs of many thousands of people
who otherwise might have been forced
into the ranks of the unemployed.
There are still defects in the statute,
but it is an interesting commentary on
the spirit of cooperation that pre-
walls when a just and fair solution Is
offered that the courts and the lit
igants have worked together so effec-
lively to expedite these reorganization
proceedings.
If there were some way whereby
farm debts could be reorganiZed as
rapidly as corporation structures are
today being readjusted, the entire
country would be on much Sounder
basis for the future.
To sum up, 1885 has been a year of
SupotdAtLaI PiOsIcSS to"dIo AcIoVAy y
Credit for this progress belongs either
to the initiative of government or pri-
vate industry. The political partisans
will take sides on it.
But-the year 1886 is here, and we
will soon be able to tell whether in
itiative is to be replaced by govern
ment cooperation or whether private
industry is to become stagnant again
due to Government intrusion.
For 1886 is a political year, and it
will afford an interesting test of how
much sounder the Nations recovery
process is than the political influences
, that have usually bred uncertainty
and lack of confidence.

math IS a fatal form of pneumonia.
Breathing and heart action are in
hibited to an alarming extent.
Experimenting with dogs. DR.. Kop-
panyi found that he could administer
about four times the fatal dose of
some barbiturates and still restore the
animals with the aid of injections of
picrotoxin. The two poisons seem to
neutralize each other.
Drug Has Two Effects.
The drug, Prof. Koppanyi said, has
two striking effects. The first one is
on the medulla oblongata, the lowest
level of the brain, where are located
the nerve centerS which regulate such
bodily functions as blood pressure ani
breathing. The barbiturates act in sn
opposite way on the same centers-
lowering blood pressure and slowing
down the rate of respiration. Picro-
toxin offsets these effects.
The second effect, which results In
the arouSing of both animals and hu-
mans from barbiturate coma, appar-
emily involves the cerebrum and the
midbrain. He cited two cases reported
by Washington physicians illustrative
of this effect. Both were elderly per-
sons who had fallen into deep comas
after giving themselves extremely toxic
doses of barbiturate preparations. Both
after single injections of picrotoxin
opened their eyes, raised their eye
browS, moved about in bed and ut
tered incoherent sounds.
Experiments show, DR.. Koppanyi re-
ported, that while morphine has a
similar depreSSant effect to the bar
biturates on the human system, picro-
toxin does not bring about awakening,
but tends to deepen the depression.
This powerful antidote, DR.. Kop-
panyi said, has long been known to
medicine, but was misused and had
been dropped from the official list of
drugs and was lost sight of until re-
vived by a Wisconsin pharmacologist
four years ago.
Besides the experiments with picro-
toxin, DR.. Koppanyi described re-
search work now under way at
Georgetown to determine the precise
effects of the barbiturates on the
human system.
THERMOMETER" for Politicians.
A political thermometer, by means
of which politicians can read the "tem-
perature" of their constituents on cur
rent issues, was described.
The weeks mail constitutes the
mercury bulb of this thermometer, and

will drive Congressman back to their

The data, DR.. Roos told the psy-

IS minutes the Lusitania went
down by the bow. Nobody knows
even now why she sank SO quickly.
Only 761 were saved, including
Captain william Thomas Turner,
who stood on his bridge until car
ried away by the rising water.
The German submarine U-2e,
Commander Walther Schwieger,
had fred the torpedo.
Schwieger's torpedo did more
than any one thing, perhaps, to
bring America inevitably into the
World War. After the first wave
of horror, indignation mounted,
newspapers shouted for a firm
stand, neigl1bors discussed hotly
the rights and wrongs of neutra:

Few went SO far as to suggest ar
tual and immediate war. Blu.
there were fewer neutrals in
America after May z, 1915.

son made his famous speech in
which he said "There is such a
thing as man being too proud to
fight. There is such a thing as q
nation being so right that 1t does
not need to convince others by
force that 1t ID right"
To this shining standard, few
rallied. The public demand was
plainly for more drastic action

Throughout the summer passed be-

go to war over a citizens rights
and yet relieve the citizen of all

For such views and for resign

WAY is SOUGHT
TO PREVENT
REPETITION
BY WILLIS THORNTON

WASHINGTON, May -
W Exactly 20 years ago,
diplomat, statesman and man
in-the-street halted in their
tracks to devour the extras
that screamed the sinking of
the Lusitania.
Today the attention Of certain
men here, more thoughtful than
the day they read with horror of
the 1895 men, women and chill
dren twho went down with the lux
ury liner, was fixed on two things:
First, the efforts of the muni-
lions committee and the state de-
partment to carry out a presi-
Dental direction to find ways to
keep another Lusitania of some
future war from dragging America
in.
And second, an ominous but APP
parently well-grounded rumor that
Germany is assembling and has
been building for six months, a
new submarine flotilla. !,
-
While the bones of 124 Ameri-
cans were whitening on the bot
tom of st Georges channel and
round-eyed fish poked their way
through the gilded saloons SO
silent these 20 years, d new gen.

1t had been rather carefree

ominous warning published in
New York papers just before the
Lusitania sailed:

minded that a state of war ex-

But to the 1859 souls aboard the
Lusitania, all this seemed unreal.
Unreal. seemed the long wrangle

neutrals, the constant infringement
/ by both sides on what were then
considered neutral rights. Far
away seemed the strangling naval

sea under bright spring weather.
