In the play Of the hand every
one at some time or other will be
faced with an apparently hopeless
contract. However, not infrequent-
ly these hands can be made, espe-

a trick in hearts, in which he held

WPA Restores Old
Frontier Fort

COPPER HARBOR, Mich, Nov.
7. UP)-War Department records,
photographs dating from the Civil
War,and files of various historical
societies are being used by the
Works Projects Administration in
the restoration of old Fort wilkins
on the tip of the Keweena penin-
Sula.
The fort is a gift of the United
States government and has been
the principal attraction at the state
park since it was opened in 1921.
The stockade and buildings were
erected in 1914, the year after a
treaty with the Chippewa Indians
had opened the upper peninsula to
mining.
sWork of restoration, under the
guidance of the State Conservation
Departments parks division, was
begun last year. A new road, park
ing area, tourist camp grounds, and
a water system are under construc-
ton, in addition to repairing the
stockade and soldiers quarters.

proved fatal in about go per cent OF
cases recorded, c1n he prevented
and cured by a new method OF *
ray treatment.
DR.. D. Arnold Dowell and DR..
James F. Kelly, both OF Omaha,
Neb., announced at meeting here
of the American Roentgen Ray
Society that the mortality rate for
such cases has been reduced to
less than per cent in cases ade-
quately treated.
The two scientists, who presented
their statistics and case reports in
a special scientific exhibit, declar-
ed that this type of treatment
would also be valuable in curing
acute peritonitis and other virulent
infection.
I'VE believe that X-ray therapy
alone, without serum or surgery, is
superior to all other methods for
treatment of these diseases" they
said, land we have data to sub
stantiate this belief"
Outspoken in their condemnation
of surgical amputation to cure gas
gangrene, they added that "ampu-
tation as therapeutic measure
during the acute toxic stage is a
factor in increasing the mortality
rate In gas bacillus infection" 1t
was emphasized that this type of
treatment must be given early and
consistently.
During the World War, when
amputation was the only treatment,
roughly half of those whose wounds
were invaded by the gas-forming
microbe died-and it invaded al
most a third of those wounded.
