Included will be courses in brick
laying; tiling and plastering; me-

stallation, repair and sound sys-
tens; and commercial illuStra-
ton. The plumbing shop now at
the Abbot will be transferred to
the new school.
Both schools, DR. Holmes said,
will have courses in carpentry, be-
cause there is a dearth Of good
carpenters in the District.

certain diseases, notably tuberculosis,
Is the blood precipitation test. HUI
man blood Is composed Of two prin-
cipal components-the various red and
white cells and the almost transparent
plasma. In the living body the cells
are in stable solution in the plasma
When blood is placed in test tube,
however, the cells gradually sink to
the bottom. In the blood of healthy
person this rate Of sedimentation Is
very slow, while in various "inflamma-
tory diseases" 1t Is quite rapid, the
diagnosis Of the particular disease de-
pending In some cases upon the rate.
This rate Is determined by watching
the lowering line between the cell sed-
tment and the plasma. This is a rou-
tine practice, the inventor says, in
most hospitals, requires time and pa
thence, and Is open to human error.
He would produce an automatic rec
ord by means Of beam of light shin
Ing through the liquid in the tube. It
will fall upon photo-electric cell.
The transparency Of the fluid, and
hence the amount Of light falling on
the cell, will increase As the cells sink
to the bottom. The cell will operate a
recording device, 50 the test can be
carried out without any human inter-
vention and nurses and internes can
busy themselves with other things.
Air Conditioned Auto.
Somehow or other nobody seems to
have thought of An air-conditioned
automobile until Z patent was issued
this week to A. D. Forbush Of Pueblo,
Colo. He has a built-in cooler for
summer travel similar to the heaters
now used for winter travel.
The way Of the forger or fraudu-
lent gem salesman presumably Is made
harder by a device for which a patent
was issued to Julian s. Kahn of New
York. 1t consists in inspecting the
supposedly precious stones, or the sig
natures on checks or wills with fil-
tered light consisting of narrow bands
at the two ends of the visible light
spectrum 6,745 to 1880 ang-
strom units on the edge of the ultra
red and from 3.407 to 4,132 angstroms
on the edge of the ultra violet. All the
middle bands are cut out.
Details hidden before become con-
spicuous with this lighting, Mr.. Kahn
says, and differences indicating fraud
are shown which would not appear
under ordinary light.
Icy Travel Made Easier.
The widely publicized Resettlement
Administration colony at Matanuska,
Alaska, Is solving some of its own
peculiar transportation problems. A
patent was issued this week to Jack
A. Hansen, one Of its citizens, for re-
moving ice from rails used by motor
driven cars-one of the best means Of
getting from place to place in the Far
North, where the railroads are the
roads.
Without such a de-icing device, Mr..
Hansen says, such travel is impossible
and when one runs into an icy stretch
1t Is necessary either to take the car
of the tracks or push 1t home.

''ln''er Tube" Belt Keeps Pilots
Conscious During Power Diues
DR.. PopPen of Macy Medical Corps Pat
ents Depice to Keep Blood From,
Rushing From, Brain.

4 device which will prevent the dis
estrous experience at high attitudes or
IN airplane maneuvers described by
pilots Is going black" or twilight
was patented this week by DR.. John r.
Poppen Of the Navy Medical Corps,
attached to the Naval Air Station at
Pensacola, Fla.
The dificulty Is due. DR.. Poppen ex-
plains, to decrease Of blood circula-
don in the brain. This Is caused
largely by the concentration of the
olood-in extreme cases as much as
nall OF this f1uid in the body-in the
so-called portal system" of veins and
captllaries in the abdomen. The pur-
pose Of this portal system is to fur
nish blood to the digestive organs.
Ordinarily this Is . low-pressure sys-
tenn adapted to the rather loose alb
dominal structure, and it can be ex-
banded greatly at any time.
The normal pressure in the veins Is
maintained automatically by the nerv-
Gus system. In cases of shock, such
as severe fright, the nerve control Is
thrown out and the system veins ex-
pands. Both the brain and the heart
supplies Of blood are reduced. The
heart does not pump 50 efficiently and
. vicious cycle is set up. Another
condition which causes the portal sys-
TEN to I'LL up Is sudden descent with
An acceleration of several times grav-
lty.
Whole Body "Out Of Gear"
Tests have shown. DR.. Poppen says
IN his claim. that after such 4 descent
the arterial blood pressure In the neck
u reduced as much as two-thirds,
showing how little blood the brain is
getting. Even before the going black
experience, DR.. Poppen says, the pilot
suffers reduction in attention, motor
coordination, judgment and ability
for abstract reasoning, which may
have fatal consequences.
It has been found, he says, that this
can be prevented to a great extent by
increasing the pressure on the abdo-
men so that the portal system has no
chance to expand.
The patented device consists Of a
loose belt fitting over the abdomen
With an elastic bag inside which can
be blown up so that it fits very tight
". Thus as much pressure as is de-
sired can be applied to the abdominal
, walls and consequently to the portal
system blood vessels.
The pilot can blow this up when he
ascends to high attitudes where the
normal pressure of the atmosphere Is
greatly reduced, or when he is about
to make long dive in 4 direction Ion
gitudinal to his body.
The device, DR.. Poppen says, also is
likely to prevent hernia. which some
times results from such . dive.
