Fathers Arrival Saves Babes
From Gas That Killed Mother

The Bryan babies could hardly
breathe when they awoke early today
and their mother didn't answer their
cries.
A sitting odor filled the upstairs
front bedroom, where 18-month-old
Barbara Ann lay, and seeped around
the cracks Of the closed door to the
room where 4-month-old Mary whim-
pered alone.
The odor was stronger down in the
kitchen. There their mother, Mrs.
Vivian M. Bryan, Is, lay dead on the
floor beside the kitchen stove on which
all the gas jets were open.
Their father. Thomas Bryan, &c. a

Sulfanilan,ide Poison DANCER
Sho,vn in Postgraduate Clinic
DR.. Sanford NJ. R0senthnl Informs C.. u.
Group Delayed Toxic Reaction
Has Been Found.

Erysipelas in infants, with a previ-
Gus death rate Of 81 per cent, in
which sulfanilamide saves many lives.
Streptococcic pneumonia, which
often follows influenza or measles with
a very high death rate.
Streptococcic meningitis, in which
the death rate has been reduced from
approximately IS to less than so per
cent.
The venereal disease chanchroid, in
which two very rapid and spec
tacular cures have been reported by
use of this drug.
Tests with malarie, DR.. Rosenthal
said. show that sulfanilamide has
some good effect but not enough to
justify its use. There is some evi-
dence that it delays the progress Of
tuberculosis. A good effect is pro-
duced in guinea pigs infected with
typhoid fever, but this is not clear
with human beings.
Tests with mice show that the drug
has weak effects against two of the
filterable viruses responsible for mans
worst diseases and which hitherto
have not responded to any chemical
Observation-Disclosures and a new nerv-
Gus system disease, choriomeningitis.
The effect is so mild however, that
use of the drug IS not justified in
man. The drug shows definite kill
ing action against the virus of dis
temper in dogs.
Tests have shown that it has no
protective action against rheumatic
fever. whooping cough, chronic ar
Thrills or chorea.
Many Die From Drug.
Altogether too many persons are
dying from use of the drug itself,
DR.. Rosenthal believes, although few
deaths actually are attributed to it.
Patients given heavy doses. he warned
the physicians, should be watched
carefully for signs Of an acid condi-
ton in the blood, for a reduction Of
red blood cells. for jaundice and for
a peculiar kind Of shock caused spe-
cifically by this drug.
During the last two years all over
the world, DR.. Rosenthal warned,
chemists have been trying to produce
variations on the sulfanilamide for
mula which will be more powerful
or less poisonous. A great many Of
these soon will be placed on the
market with all sorts OF claims made
for them, he said. Physicians must
remember he stressed that tasted
effects of compound on one disease,
where it may prove superior to the
original sulfanilamide. are no indi-
cation that it also will be better against
another malady. Public Health Serv-
Ice tests show that the effects vary
greatly with different animals, and
hence there can be little extensions
Of conclusions from rats or guinea pigs
to men.

Finding of 9 delayed toxic reac-
ton to sulfanilamide in hens and
rabbits with the possibility of the
same effect in human beings was
reported before the Georgetown Uni
versity School of Medicines post
graduate clinic yesterday by DR.. San
ford NJ Rosenthal of the National
Institute of Health.
Because Of the cheapneSs of this
drug. its reputation for curing almost
anything and its relative safety, DR.
Rosenthal said, some physicians have
started giving it in heavy doses with
out any positive indications for its
use. They are running the risk, he
fears, of bringing about a chronic
sulfanilamide poisoning.
The effects are difficult to find in
humans, he said, because it always
can be claimed that any bad effects
are due to the disease rather than
the drug. When he fed hens l gram
a day per kilggram of body weight
for two days they showed no effect.
But when he fed half this amount
continuously for nine days the birds
rapidly lost weight and died. The
same result on a lesser scale was OBJ
tanned with rabbits.
Cites Family Physician.
A family physician, he pointed out,
Is likely to conclude that If heavy
dose of the drug produces no serious
effects on the patient there is no
harm in repeating the dose for many
days.
The Public Health Service tests with
animals, DR.. Rosenthal said. show
conclusiveiy that sulfanilamide is a
dangerous drug which should never
be used in a disease where the rate
OF mortality is very low. In diseases
like meningitis or streptococcic infec-
tions, on the other hand, where the
death rate is naturally very high, he
advocated giving heavy doses.
1t is a bad mistake, he insisted,
to dose with this drug a child suffer-
ing from a. mild sore throat The
remedy may be worse than the all
ment.
New conditions in which sulfanila-
mide is indicated were outlined as
follows:
Pneumococcus meningitis, an in
flamation Of the lining Of the brain
and spinal cord caused by the same
organism which is responsible for
pneumonia. The death rate in the
past has been approximately 100 per
cent. Out of nine cases in one hos
pital last year which were treated
with the new drug six recovered.
Undulant fever, in which sulfanila-
mide brings about q high percentage
of cures, according to reports from all
over the country.
Scarlet fever, In which use of the
drug cuts down the number of COM
plications and after effects by one
half.

POLICE PRAISED
BY TRADE BOARD
Public Order Committee
Sends Commendation
to Commissioners.

Protesting that unjust criticism re-
Gently has been aimed at the Police
Department. the Public Order Com
mittee of the Board of Trade yester-
day praised the police in a letter to
the Commissioners. declaring 1t was
the duty of the officers to resist force
with force"
The statement was made In a reso-
luton adopted unanimously at a
meeting of the Public Order Commit
tee Monday evening at the Washing
ton Golf and Country Club.
Praise for Splendid Work.
The Police Department was praised
for the splendid work" it has done
generally, and especially for the Po-
lice Boys Club and summer camp,
the radio system, their cooperation in
support of the new law to suppress
gambling and their action against
criminals and vagrants.
In protesting against recent unjust
criticism" the group declared the law
had been enforced 'in an orderly, dig
nified, courteous and fair manner,
and that the few exceptions to this
general rule had been promptly in
vestigated and handled by officials of
the department.
Force Blamed on Criminals.
The resolution added: THAT it is
the sense of this committee that the
violators of the law are the ones who
are directly responsible for any force
that has been used by the officers Of
the department by their action in
resisting arrest, and which has on
many occasions resulted in the seri-
Gus injury and sometimes the death
of the arresting officer.
I'm such cases, for the good of the
community and in order to maintain
respect for the law, it is the duty of
the arresting officers to resist force
with force, otherwise there will de-
velop general disrespect for the
law and a general break down of the
morale of the department"

CHANGES ORDERED
|NPR0BATE RULES
District Court 0. KS New
Regu|ations-Effective
October is.

Seeking to simplify procedure, Dis
trict Court. holding a general term
yesterday afternoon, adopted new pro-
bate rules, to be effective October l6.
Because Of the adoption by the Dis
trict Court of the new rules of civil
procedure, in keeping with the Federal
rules promulgated by the Supreme
Court Of the United States, officials
said it was not feasible to have just a
few probate rules, supported by broad
reference to the rules in the civil
branch of the court
Such procedure would have pro-
duced uncertainty. whether or not the
Federal rules would then govern in
probate proceedings, and to what ex-
tent" authorities said. This uncer-
tainty could have been made certain
only by litigation. To avoid this liti-
cation. an entire body Of rules has been
adopted for the Probate Court.
Introduce Features.
These new rules introduce only two
important features into probate pro-
cedure. Applicants for probate of a
will are required to give notice to each
legatee and devisee named in the will,
at his last known address, showing the
title of the court, the name of the
testator, the amount or nature of the
legacy, and the name and address of
the nominated executor, or other petit
tioner, or his counsel of record This
notice to the legatee will assure to
him, in every instance, knowledge Of
his right, that he may proceed prompt
ly to enforce it against negligent, or
incompetent, or unscrupulous executor.
by probate rule 80, the fiduciary
filing final account will be obliged
to file also certificate of the assessor
for the District of Columbia stating
that all inheritance and estate taxes
assessed under the provisions of the
applicable District of Columbia Rev.
enue Act against the estate of the de-
cedent have been paid or fully provid-
ed for. This rule has two purposes of
equal Importance. 1t will aid in the
prompt collection of the District in
heritance and estate taxes. 1t will also
aid the executor or administrator. For
he thus will be reasonably assured
that his tax liability is closed, and
that he need not greatly fear future
assessment and liability after he has
disposed of the assets of the estate.
Minor Practices Kept.
In few minor matters, the prac-
tice in the Probate Court has been re-
tained, although slightly different from
the corresponding procedure in the
civil division of the court. Thus, for
instance. the fiat fling which pre-
walls otherwise in the court, will not
apply in the Probate Court as it is not,
for various reasons, expeditions to use
1t there" officials asserted.
With the assistance of a special COM
mittee of seven prominent attorneys
headed by H. Winsnip Wheatly, the
rules were drafted by Register Of Wills
Theodore Cogswell and his deputies,
Victor S. Mersch and Melvin j.
Marques. Chief Justice Alfred A.
Wheat presided at the general term.

But they had seldom been alone to-

he had written over a year ago the

had asked her TO marry him. A deep

round, but Hiram felt very much
