ABSCESS
RISES FOR
REMOVAL

KANSAS CITY, May 10 U.N.S0.

surgical technique that makes a

age with less danger to the
patient-waS revealed today at
the convention of the American
Medical Association.
The method, developed at the
University of Michigan Hospital,
Ann Arbor, and already used in
four cases, was described by DR..
Edgar A. Kahn.
TwO-Stage Operation
Instead of opening the skull,
draining or removing the walled
in abScess and closing the wound
all in one operation, the Michigan
surgeons now use two-Stage
operation.
Removing a part Of the bone
over the area where the abSceSS
lies, they pack the space with
iodoform gauze and leave it in
position three to seven days. Be-
cause of increased pressure with
in the brain caused by the swell
ing. the abscess gradually rises to
or even above the surface Of the
brain, where the removed bone
has lessened the pressure. DR..
Kahn said:
"COuId all absce SSes be
drained at the surface under
circumstances which would
minimize the possibility Of men,
nights, mortality would UNI
dOubtedIy diminish
While its new president, DR.. j.
Tate Mason lowered between life
and death in a Seattle hospital,
the saddened association today
was inspired to continue with its
scientific sessions by final mes
sage" in which he exhorted the
doctors to keep faith with the
public
DR.. Mason, leading surgeon,
had been expected here to partici-
pate in shaping the policies Of the
organization, which today includ-
ed attacks on birth control prop
agandiStS" and on doctors who
obtain patients through Solicita-
tion."
Installed i'm Absence
Forced to undergo leg ampu-
tation, and with gangrene affect
ing the other as a result Of clotS
blocking the blood supply, DR..
Mason was installed as president
last night in his absence. For the
$4,000 who attended the ceremony
in the municipal auditorium, the
tragedy was heightened by the
reading of DR.. MaSon'S prepared
inaugural address, in which he
told how surgery has been able to
save limbs for others.
DR.. Brien T. King, member Of
the associations house Of delegates
and personal friend of the new

an increasd measure OF security and
well-being to the great group OF pres
ent and prospective farm tenants.
| What this means has not been ex-
planned. Whether anything will be
done about this point cannot be
known. 1t is quite certain, however.
that something Is going to be done
about the main point, enabling per-
sons now tenants to become owners of
farms.
President Roosevelt's commission Is
directed to report not later than Feb
ruary /. This suggests an intention
to get legislation in the coming ses-
sion of Congress. 1t is certain
something will be done Speaker
Bankhead says the legislation is i'm
perative."
The recent history of the movment
toward reducing farm tenancy began
during the campaign. Both presiden-
tial candidates issued statements call
increase of farm ownership. The
statements of the two candidates
came so close together in time as to
make the impression of hurrying
competition between them. each eager
to beat the other to this issue. Since
Mr.. Roosevelt was elected he got the
opportunity for action.
Desirability of Action.
About the desirability of action, as
Stunning the action is soundly planned,
there can be no doubt. The amount
of farm tenancy. the number Of farm
ers who do not own the land they
pillow. is greater than is realized except
by the few having special familiarity
with the subject. The average man
thinks it Is only an occasional farm
here and there that is operated on
the landlord-and-tenant basis. The
fact is. close to half the farms in the
country are operated by tenants. The
proportion, according to the 1880 CEN
sus, was 424 per cent. Experts think
it is now materially more. There were
many mortgage foreclosures during
the depression, former owners becom-
ing tenants. In some Southern States
the percentage is over so. In Missis-
sippi it is 72.2 per cent; in Georgia
682 per cent. Even in the richest and
most progressive farm States, tenancy
is close to so per cent. In Iowa it is
47.3 per cent; in Nebraska. All: in
Illinois, 431. (All these figures are as
Of 1890; the figures are higher now)
That there should be fewer tenants,
more farm owners, is a practically uni
versal conviction. To few proposed
reforms will there be so little opposi-
ton. Certainly conservatives should
give whole-hearted support to this re-
form. Few truisms of social organi-
zation are SO widely accepted as that
which says that the farmer who owns
his land-especially the one who has
no mortgage-is foundation stone of
capitalist society. The application of
this truth to present conditions was
put in words last July by the excep-
tionally enlightened Des Moines, Iowa.
