"Just what were these gadgets
Hazeldeane was working on-and
what was it he chucked overheard
from the plane ?"
Luckily Gun was prepared for
this question. He answered without
the slightest hesitation:

But the one he siung overheard is

or difficulty than you'd have in fir

Gun saw, with satisfaction and
disgust, how Trent's eyes glis-
tened at this.

that owned a gadget like that
would come pretty near to being
master of the air!"
Gun nodded.

Trent made gesture of deci-

The gesture with which he An

1t was not so difficult to simu-

Without word Trent pressed a

moment there came a tap on the
door and it opened to reveal Sam

Sambo made gesture indicat-

Trent smiled.
"The dumbness is genuine

AS Gun followed the other to a
small but adequate bathroom he
said:
I'd give something for shave.
But l suppose I'd better not have
one, or Hazeldeane will suspect
something. Well, III do my best
with hot water and soap"
Gun reveled in the luxury of that
bath. He would have liked to spend
more time over it, knowing that
when he would get his next was a
matter that lay on the knees of
the gods. But time was limited.
Nor did he waste any over his
meal, which he thought was one Of
the most delicious he had ever
tasted. For as he ate Trent

Doctors Are Warned
10 Use Great Care in
Thyroid Operations
Dr.. MocCoIIum Speaks
On Anniversary Of
Dr.. kober's Birth

DR.. William George MacCallum
OF Johns Hopkins Hospital and
Medical School, in lecturing on
Pathology of the Parathyroid
Glands" last night under the aus
pices of the Kober Foundation, dis
cussed the harmful effects that in
jury to these small ovoid glands has
on the nervous system.
His lecture was given before an
audience of scientists and medical
men in CASTOR Hall at Georgetown
University on the birthday anniver-
sary of the late DR.. George M. Kober
OF Washington.
DR.. MacCallum warned that in
operating on the thyroid gland sur
geons must be very careful to rec
ognize the precise position of the
small parathyroid glands, usually
four in number, that are near or
embedded in the thyroid gland
Their destruction, he said, results in
tetany with twitchings and general
hyper-excitability of the nervous
system which is found to be due to
deficiency of calcium in the cir
culating blood. Death can best be
averted and conditions returned to
normal, he said, by an injection of
calcium. This depends. however,
the lecturer pointed out, on an init
mate relation Of calcium and phos-
phorus in the blood and on the con-
dition for the maintenance of their
combination. An excess of para
thyroid secretion, he said, produces
a great increase in calcium and
phosphorus in the blood. evidently
Withdrawn from the bones.
DR.. MacCallum pointed out that
extreme defects in renal function
demand an increased activity Of the
parathyroids with general hyper
trophy of all four, while tumor Of
the parathyroid which pre- iuces an
excess of its secretion has a some
what similar effect on depriving the
bones of their calcium and weaken
ing them to a degree that allows
multiple fractures while calcium Is
deposited elsewhere in the tissues.
The origin of infantile tetany is very
obscure. he said, but is also appar-
emily due to calium deficiency.
The Very Rev. Arthur A. OLeary,
S. j., president Of Georgetown, who
presided, paid brief tribute to DR..
Kober, whose generosity provided for
the annual scientific awards Of the
foundation. "Dr. Kober's one ambi-
ton in life was to train young men
to 60 out and alleviate the sufferings
Of mankind" he said. DR.. Kober
was long a leader in the field of
preventive medicine and public
health. having served for 10 years
on the Georgetown medical faculty.
A certificate and honorarium of
$500 goes with the award made to
DR.. MacCallum. The Johns Hop
kins professor, Father OLeary re-
marked in his introduction, has a
distinct record of being first" He
was a member Of the first medical
class graduated from Johns Hopkins
and stood first in the class as he had
done earlier IN graduating from the
University Of Toronto. DR.. Mac
Callum also. through his text books
and research, has long been recog-
nized as leading pathologist.
