MINDS SHOCKED
BACK TO NORMAL

CHICAGO, Nov. / G.N.S0.-A
new drug that shocks an unsound
mind back to its normal track
offered new hope to mental
patients today.
According to an announcement
at the Chicago State Hospital, the
drug, Metrazol, has proven effec-
tive in recent tests on dementia
praecox patients.
One Of the most battling forms
of insanity, dementia praecox &C
counts for around So per cent Of
the inmates in most mental insti.
buttons, DR.. j. E. Edlin, staff
physician said.
Injected intravenously twice a
week, a 10 per cent solution Of
Metrazol acts on the cardio-reS-
pirator center in the brain, DR.. Ed
lin said. It causes a severe convul-
sion, shocking the brain out of its
abnormal condition.
DR.. Edlin said that most of the
patients on which the treatment
has been tried were able to leave
the institution within six or eight
weeks and resume a normal life,
apparently well on the road to
complete recovery.

Germany will soon be able to sup

suits chiefly from introduction of

The Washington times., 1937-11-01


The incident occurred late last
night when police at the Ninth
precinct received a call that a man
was trying to break into a store
at Eleventh and H Streets North
east.
SIGHTED ON ROOF
Nearly a dozen officers were
dispatched to the scene and. al
though they failed to catch their
man, they caught another who
had just robbed a store a block
away.
Arriving at the scene, one of the
officers got a fleeing glimpse of
a man atop the store roof. Two
officers climbed up on the roof in
pursuit and the man jumped 10
feet to the ground lodged the
rest of the officers and cleared a
seven-foot fence which stood be-.
tween nlu ana freedom.
SEIZE SECOND BURGLAR
Searching the neighborhood, po-
lice came upon another colored
man, carrying several slabs of
bacon under his arm. The man,
who told police he was William
A. Brooks, SO, later admitted
breaking into a store at 1000 B
st. N. E., and stealing a quantity
of food and cigarettes. Most of
the loot had been hidden in a
nearby shack.

broken-field runner said that he
might apply to a hospital or phySi-

to The Washington Times which
said in part:
Please use my plea to you
as an item Of news. I want to
marry some woman in or near
Washington who can lift me
from the effects Of the late de-
preston. All offers considered"
So there you are, ladies'! Mr..
Driscoll can be had for the ask
ing-provided you can supply the
funds.
eea Asked If he'd make a good hus-
band, Mr.. Driscoll, who seems
strangely lacking in vanity, re-
piled he didn't think so. Pressed
as to why, he just shrugged-evi-
IDENTIFY he has no illusions about
himself.
However, his landlady, who has
had two previous roomerS use her
home as a matrimonial agency,
said Mr.. DriScoll was an ideal
roomer. Never talked, didn't drink,
seldom smoked, and kept his room
as neat as a pin. Furthermore, he
goes in and out so quietly she
never even hears him.
REASON FOR CHOICE
Admitting that he had always
been in the hotel business, first
at hotels in Cleveland where he
was a bell hop, Mr.. DriScoll said
he selected The Times for his
plea because it has more news and
more pictures than any other
paper in town, he said.
AS his landlady trembled so
over the idea of droves of mateless
women besieging her domicile. The
Times is not in a position to give
Mr.. Driscoll'S address.

INGLEWOOD, Cal, July 2.-Baf- fled officials, having traversed a maze of blind alleys in search for the fiendish slayer of three little girls found dead here, have started all over again from scratch, and, with the exception of one person, scion of a wealthy New York and Los Angeles family, all suspects have been eliminated. The theory guiding the sleuths is that the girls were slain by someone with whom they were acquainted.
 Inquest into the kidnap-killing of three children was suddenly cut short in Los Angeles while investi- gators concentrated on a search for a WPA worker known as Eddie 2 who is reported to have talked last Saturday morning with the group of three young girls in a park here.
