Surgery Aided
By First Hand
Art Sketches
Details Missed by Camera
Caught as Girl Expert
Sees Operation
By WALTER LOGAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 20
! CUP)-A young woman. clad in
stiff white apron and mask,
stands unobtruSiyely in a corner
of an operating room in hospi-
tai here as patient is brought
in.
The anesthetist adjusts the cap
over the patients face and the
operation follows. But as the sur
geon starts to work, the young
woman moves closer. She holds
pencil and paper and makes
sketches and notes as the delicate
Iwork in difficult or unusual OPP
Grafton proceeds.
The young medical artist is
Dorothy StUrm. In Il few minutes
she rushcS to her basement studio
in the Medical and Dental build
ing and begins a drawing that
looks like a steel engraving. She
brings out details of organs a pho
tograph would not show.
If there is d gangrene or other
infection that changes the color,
she tints the drawing in natural
colors. Miss Sturm is a medical
illustrator, doing free-lance work.
Her drawings are used in medical
journals and with articles written
by physicians. Some of her work
Illustrates textbooks, and others
are made into lantern slides and
are used for lectures and teaching
purposes.
Doctors who have rare or un-
usual cases call on Miss Sturm.
In addition to watching opera
tions, she works from specimens.
Sometimes her tiny studio will be
stocked with bottles containing
unusual organisms which she
draws.
Miss Sturm occasionally uses a
microscope in her drawings.
Memphis doctors, who say Miss
Sturm is one of the best illustra-
tors in the business, first suggest
ed medical illustration to her
when she was graduated from ST.;
Mary's college here and attended
James Lee Memorial Art acad-
envy.
But it was not until she attend
ed Columbia university that she
began doing scientific drawing.
She became assistant medical il
| illustrator at Columbia and studied
at the Art Students league IN
New York. -,
Miss Sturm, attractive, with
black, curly hair and blue eyes,
| had to study anatomy as we'll as
art for her profession. Although
sometimes a bit gruesome, her
drawings have certain beauty,
For her hobby she does book IL
, Illustrations. She uses an individual

| fected herself.

Henderson Taken
From Buncombe
SO Years Ago

Henderson county was taken
from BuncOmbe in 1887, Bun
combe at that time being much
larger than the state of Rhode IS
land. Much discussion followed
over the selection of a county
scat. Blue Ridge, Rugby, Horse
Shoe, and the present site being
the most popular in the contest,
This was final ychosen because it
was on the main highway between
Asheville and Greenville, s. c., a
very important consideration IN
those days.
The first courthouse was a log
building just opposite the public
square. Here the first court was
held. the clerk of the court being
John A. Miller, who was trans
ferred from that position in Bun
combe to Henderson county. The
descendants of Mr.. Miller are still
living at Rugby, where they have
been for. more than a century, an
unusually long time of residence
| in one place for one family.
The town was named for Judge
Leonard Henderson, distinguish

FRANKFORT, KY, July 29.-
(UP)-A thrcc-corncred contest

nomination will cnliven Ken

Beckham, of Louisville, former
governor and senator, and John

willingly carried the party banner
when others were more skeptical
OF Democratic chances. He won in
that election and the Democrats
have not lost q major state battle
since.
Backham, backed by the state
administration of Governor A. B.
Chandler, long has been a famil-
lar figure in state politics. He was
the states youngest governor,
having succeeded to the governor
ship in 1900 when William Goe-
bel was assasSinated.
Beckham served almost eight
years as governor and, in 1908,
was Democratic caucus nominee
for United States senator when
senators were selected by the leg
islature. He was defeated.
Then, in 1914, the first year
senators were elected by popular
vote, he was nominated and elect
ed. Six years later he was re-
nominated by his party, but lost
the election to Richard P. Ernst,
Covington Republican.
Seven years later Beckham be-
came a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor,
won the nomination, but lost IN
the election to Elem d. Sampson.
Brown was speaker of the Ken
lucky house in 1882 when a sales
tax first was proposed. He oppos-
ed the tax and was elected con-
gressman-at-large on that issue.
Two years later he lost in the prl-
mary for denomination.
There are two other candidates
with no organized backing.
Political observers concede that
Robert H. Lucas, of Louisville,
will win the Republican nomlna-
ton for U. S. senator. He will be
opposed by four candidates.
Statewide registration, in eff
feet for the first time this year,
is expected to bring record
number of voters to the polls.
There is little interest in the
congressional races. Incumbents,
in most cases, are expected to be
rcnominated.

houses under construction at the
Purdue University research foun-

"The mobile houses will be built
of automotive materials that have
no relation to lath, pastor, shin
giles and cement" Stout said.
He predicted that the auto
trailer, now gaining in numbers

transported on wheels to a deslr-

would be removed and the dwell

petitions by about Tuesday. She will
then turn the petitions back to the
two men and let them battle out the
question Of who will run with Secre-
tary of State SAITH.
Bitter Contest
The contest for the place on the
voting machines promises to be
bitter one between Puckey and
O'Neill and no matter which way
SAITH decides court action Is highly
probable. O'Neill was the first one
to file a petition with Miss Egan
but he did not have the required
number Of names on the paper at
the time.
In the meantime Mr.. Puckey filed
q petition and had the required
number Of names In Town Clerk
Egan's hands before O'Neill did. The
latter contends that he has priority
rights over .suckey because he filed
the first petition. It does not matter
who got the required number Of
names In first, he contends.
Race Expected
The race between Puckey and o.
Neill for the secretary of-state's Of
fee In Hartford when they receive
their petitions back from Town
Clerk Egan promises to be an event
of the election session. Each man
will try to get his petition filed with
SAITH first.
The task ahead of DR.. Satti Is not
considered a simple one and 1t Is
possible that he will ask Attorney
General Edward ]. DAILY for ruling
