Radiology a Young
Science, but Makes
Enormous Strides
What the X-Rays Have Done
for Diagnosis and Cure

Chicago, Ill.-Radiology, the
study and use of both X-rays
and radium, is comparatively
young science, but it has turned
out to be a precocious young
ster. Reports to the Interna-
tional Congress of Radiology in
Chicago showed the enormous
strides it has made.
Household words today, X-rays
were unknown 43 years ago, and
radiun was first obtained only SO
years ago. Treatment of cancer is
the chief meaning these potent sub
stances have in the minds of most
persons. This is perhaps their most
important field of usefulness but by
no means their only one.
Diagnosis of disease has been
made far more certain and accu-
rate by means of the penetrating
X-rays. "For example, the dag
nosis of disease by X-rays has prac-
tically revolutionized the study and
knowledge of tuberculosis and near
ly all cases of this once-dreaded dis
ease are now diagnosed by X-rays,
declared DR.. Arthur c. Christie OF
Washington, D. c., president of the
congress. "Most stomach ulcers are
diagnosed by the X-ray, as are bone
and kidney diseases, Affections OF
the sinuses, of the teeth, and even
the brain.
Every Organ and Bone Visible.
Gin fact, all organs of the body as
well as the bone structures can now
be made apparent to the radiologist
for his diagnosis. By injection OF
air and gas into the ventricles OF
the brain, tumors or other brain
diseases may be studied from the
X-ray film findings. Intravenous in
jections of certain dyes into the
veins outline the gal-bladder.
Foreign bodies, such as nails,
coins, and other metals occasional
ly swallowed by children, can be &C.
curately located by the X-ray so
that the bronchoscopist may extract
these dangerous objects.
"Inhammatory LESSONS, such as
boils, carbuncles, muscular arthri.
tbs, are often cured or reduced by
X-ray therapy."
The three thousand delegates to
the congress heard of new test OF
life made possible by X-rays. Sill.
COSTS, which affects thousands OF
workers in dusty trades, is detect
ed by these same rays.

sylvania where they had been
extinct, have multiplied to well
over $4,000, according to the
last beaver count.
The 96 animals were brought in
between 1917 and 1924; no beavers
had been found in Pennsylvania for
the 70 years prior to 1917.
The beavers represent, it was
stated, a decided economic asset,

the annual take ranges upward OF

am referring to the superstition that
black suggests bad luck for those

Answer: The reason black is
avoided at weddings is that it is the
color of mourning. There is no
such association with brown. The
only possible criticism of brown is
that it might seem sombre unless
lightened in some way by color at
your throat or by carrying bright

Seat Hog Problem,

no YOU think it fair that the
- girls coming early to a school
meeting keep best seats next to
themselves for their particular
friends who come in later? We feel
that those who come first have a
right to these best seats and we
wish you would express your opin-
ion before we bring the matter up
for discussion at the next meeting.
Answer: This is one of the great
abuses found in all assembly rooms
where the audience is not given re-
served seats. For a fairly large
group to keep one extra seat is per-
haps not out of the way, -. to
send someone on ahead, as is COM
monty done, who spreads a coat out
in each direction for six or eight
who come at their leisure is an evil
dence of extreme lack of apprecia-
ton of the rights of others. We can
all understand that people in one
group like to sit together, since this
is only natural. But either they
should all come together and then
take best available seats or else
they should be satisfied with seats
at the side or in the back. In short,
they should keep seats that are not
especially desirable.
