Whot Benjomin Franklin Gave to Science

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN finds .
 place once more in the gallery of American philately with iuclu- sion in the new regular series chiefly because he was the father of the nations postal system. The country so honored him recently st" st"Philadelphia's' famed Franklin Institute, where a heroic statue of the colonial figure was unveiled. the work of James Earle Frazer.
 But that statue, dedicated at the oldest institution In the United States devoted 10 the study of mechanical arts and science. re- calls still another side of Frank lin's rich life, his scientific contri- buttons. ....
 For Franklin left some interest ing trails. His theory of electricity was not original, but was surpris- ingly clear and accurate. He made exhaustive studies of the Aurora Borealis. the origin of northeast storms in America. earthquakes and other subjects of natural history and mathematics. His medical theories. especially on colds, won wide recognition.

CHICAGO. May 7-X-ray treat
ments were arranged for Baby Helaine
Colan today in the hope of saving both
her sight and her life, menaced by
glioma, rare humorous disease.
Dr. Herbert E. Schmitz. head of the
Mercy Hospital Institute for Radiation
Therapy, said the 5-week-old girls
grandfather. DR.. Morris Hershman,
had made the preparation for the
treatments. the first to be given Mon
day Dr. Schmitz said they would be
administered Indefinitely.
Two similar cases. the institute chief
said. had been treated at the hospital
in the last l8 months. but success OF
the treatments would not be deter
mined for five years. The patients In
both cases we're men.
Treatment Described
DR.. Schmitz described the treat
ment as one in which the humorous
growth in the eyes would be bonn
barded with the rays to arrest progress
Of the growth without CO..
patients sight. The treatments would
require about eight minutes eacn.
Previously. the baby's heartbroken
parents. DR.. and Mrs Herman Colan.
wavered between an operation which
might save the girls life. but would
blind her, and the alternative of al
lowing Nature to take its course. The
latter choice would mean death, med
icsl men said.
Dr. Hershman said late Yesterday
the young parents had reached the
fateful decision to ''let nature take
its course" But today the father
said no final decision had been made.
Baby Colan is afflicted with glioma
in both eyes. Physicians said the can
cerous growth would spread to her
brain and cause death If an operation
we're not performed Both eyes would
be removed in an operation.
Advice Conflicts.
The parents turned to friends, rela-
tives. brain surgeons and a spiritual
adviser for help. They received con-
ficting advice.
Physicians generally were agreed
that no operation could save the
child's sight and that death would
ensue, probably within two months, If
no operation were performed.
