Invention
OF Tractor

FROELICH, Iowa.-Just so wears

tractor was learning to walk.
There was no boisterous celebra-

they are observing the golden an

After numerous adjustments, the
vertical, one-cylinder engine. built
largely Of steam engine parts, was
shipped to South Dakota in the fall
OF 1892 and was used successfully to
operate a threshing machine at
Lanford.
Mr.. Froelich died in st. Paul,

U. 5. Troops in India

Of Joy to Natives and
Annoyance to British
BY WILLIAM McGAFFIN,
Wide World.

NEW DELHI, India, Sept. lin
five short months the American
forces have made definite impress
sion in this country, and especially
in this city. which is the United Ma
tons supply base in their battle to
keep the Japanese confined to the
Orient.
Even before the air traveller reaches
India, he sees evidence of American
activity in a huge harbor filled with
ships and y supplies. Once ar
rived in the port of entry, he sees
big building that shows this sign
board: Headquarters of the United
States Army Air Force" and the
pancake fiat street is filled with
Americans in khaki American caps
with the special red and white air
force license plates ningling with
the camel carts driven by the ma
tives.
The thousands of Americans in
the air force and other branches of
the service live in a variety of con-
ditions ranging from crude lantern
lit barracks in the middle of the
desert to modern hotels in India's
capital: from tents almost in the
shadow of famous monuments to
tea plantations on the northwestern
frontier.
1t doesn't matter so much where
or how they live now that the heat
is broken and dust hasssubsided in
most places, but before the mon
soon broke it was unmitigated hell.
One Pleasant Place.
However, Americans have discov-
cred one very pleasant place in
India-Kashmir. During the worst
of the summer in the lower sections
where the heat is great and the
humidity so excessive that it fairly
steams, the men in need of a rest
were flown regularly for a To-day
stay in houseboats in this idyllic
Himalayan Mountain lake scenery.
There are varied recreations, in
cluding not only swimming, dancing,
fishing and moonlight rides in shi-
karas (similar to gondolas), but also
bear shooting in the pine forests.
Shikaras are the principal means
of travel on the lake, and half the
fun Of riding them are the pictur-

Ice Pack Replaces
General Anesthetic
In Amputation Cases
Doctors Describe
New Technique at
Theropy Congress
By the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. ll.-A new
type Of shockless aInputation--ac-
complished by chilling a leg or arm
In a refrigerator rather than using q
general anesthetic-was described
today before the American Congress
of Physical Therapy.
A portable refrigeration unit has
been developed to produce the chill
and the technique Is especially suit
able for use on soldier casualties, the
congress was told.
Limbs Packed in Ice.
DR.. Lyman Weeks Crossman, SEN
ior attending surgeon at New York
City Hospital, and DR.. Frederick M.
Allen of the New York Polytechnic
Medical Hospital developed the
technique and DR.. Crossman de-
scribed it..
The method was devised following
experiments in which limbs were
immersed in ice water or packed In
ice.
With the mobile refrigeration unit,
numbness may be produced more
conveniently, DR.. Crossman said.
The unit may be used simultaneously
on two persons, he added, and may
be operated by the electric generator
of an automobile.
1T is important to emphasize that
the tissues are not frozen ." the
surgeon said.
Tried In United States Hospitals.
The technique is equally valuable
in cases of compound fractures and
burns, he said, and has been tried
and found satisfactory In Army and
Navy hospitals.
Describing the principle, he said!
Cold nerves cannot transmit inn
pulses and cold tissues cannot re-
spond with shock. The wounds
heal better after refrigeration than
after other means of operation"
DR.. Crossman said that refrigera-
ton, by minimizing infection and
loss of blood, made 1t possible to
amputate limbs lower than Is neces-
sary in other techniques.
High thigh operations at City Hos
pital in New York have become
practically obsolete" since expert
ments began he said, and the NOR
tality rate in gangrene cases has
been reduced substantially.

cause they refuse to compromise

$4,000 900. There were thus 80.

to how this would be carried out.

direction.

The British had, and still have

dure. They are fighting for their
lives. Seldom have people been
faced with determination. and,
Enthusiastically. under Prime

The result Of the air battle. two

for Britain. but for the whole

tries would have no alternative
but TO cooperate In the New Or

tories OF the British Isles. as well
as those of the continent. would
be producing weapons of war for
the conquest Of the world by the
"Herrenvolk."
RUSSIANS WERE NENT
Russias turn would have come
next after England. and with the
whole of Germany's land and air
strength free to operate in the
east, Russia could not have stood
up to attack so well as she has
done during the last year. II is
doubtful IL any Russian soldier
would still be fighting west Of
the Volgs. or north Of the Csuca-
sus. The Middle East and North
Africa could not have stood with
out help from England and the
way would have been open to all
Africa and to India.
How would such situation
have affected the Western hemi-
sphere?

sciously, for years allowed the
British navy TO enter into her cal
culations. She was prepared to
defend one coast, but not two.
The Nazis with all the shipyards
of the continent of Europe, plus
the facilities OF England, could
have outstripped her in any build
ing race.
JAP OUTLOOK DOUBTFUL
In 1910 Japan was not yet fight
ing as an Axis partner, but there
is no doubt that the spheres of
world influence had already been
drawn up. Possibly the Japanese
would have been satisfied with the
empire which she has since ac-
auired by force, but II is doubtful.
The United States. with the prob
lem Of the defense of South Amer
lea. where pro-Axis influence was
active and a "easus belli'' arising
out of the mutual commitments
incurred under the Ogdensburg
agreement of 1910. would have
been in a most unenviable position
between German Europe and Jap
anese Asia.
Prime Minister Churchill had
pledged that IL the battle for Brit
ain were lost the navy would con-
tinue the fight for the British EN-
pire outside the British Isles. But
deprived of the advance base which
controls the western approaches
to Europe. there would have been
nothing to hold the Axis fleets
in home waters. Enemy wsrships
and other surface vessels would
have been able TO join with U-boats
in extended destruction of world
shipping.
