way. We should think OF the welfare
of the whole State and its people and
of the widespread harm it is pro-

continue to do so. At every oppor-
tunity I have counseled temperance
and restraint Each side must under
stand that the public authority is
supreme in Michigan.
by tradition and choice we are
loyal to democracy and its institutions.
We must settle this in the American
way and in accordance with the prin-
ciples of law and order. No one
should wish or attempt to place the
Governor of this State in a position
of suspending the law Of the land.
This is not right and he is not going
to do It,

without success. 1t has been better
and more satisfactory to bring you to-
gether in one room where you could
face each other, hear each other and
judge each other on a basis of good
faith.
Whatever may be done, want your
conversations to continue in a spirit
of reason and good faith until you
have agreed on basis Of negotiations
among yourselves. Peaceful negotia-
tions and a spirit of reason must be
substituted for rioting, threats and in
timidation. These things are abhor-

Of representatives of the two groups,
appeared weary as he emerged from
the final session, but he smiled as he
told newsmen that a truce had been
arranged which would permit the
opening Of negotiations for a "perma-

Gov. Murphy said that a decision
will be made later concerning the de-
mobilization of the National Guard
units which have been called out. In
Flint $500 troops were billeted after
last Monday nights rioting.

principles, without prejudice to legal

Reaches Deep InflammatiOhs
Electrical waves similar to those
used for the production Of radio
have been used for the creation OF
even higher degrees of internal
heat. This so-called diathermy
consists of metal plates applied to
the surface of the skin, in which
high frequency radio waves are set
up and will generate heat in the
body tissues due to the resistance
offered by the tissues to the cleo
trio current forced through them.
This resistance is greater in the
case of diseased and infiamed It's
sues and, therefore, if there is an
inflammation deep inside joint,
the diathermy wave will create
heat just exactly at that special
spot instead Of on the surface OF
the body. such as the not water
bottle or electric pad.
This is probably the most ell
cient method of applying heat to
painful and inhanled tissues unoer-
meath the surface of the body ana
in some instances, as in arthrltis
and pelvic inflammations in WOm-
en-, it is wonderfully effective, even
obviating the necessity for surgical
operation.
Heat is now used, however, for
many general diseases. it having
been found that the production OF
a high fever is beneficial in many
generalized infections and constltu-
tional diseases. All the venereai
diseases are better treated with the
aid of artificial fever, and are
sometimes treated by 1t exciu-
SiVelV.
