X-Ray Invaluable In Diagnoses,
Treatment OF Certain Diseases

init a study of, say, the gall-blad-
der or kidney, by reason of throw

play themselves.
INTERPRETATION
The Interpretation of anything
so delicate and Intangible as the
X-ray requires special training both
in medicine and the technique of
using the X-ray machine. After
studying the disease processes and
their effects on the body, these ex-
perts may know how to use the X
ray both in diagnosis and treatment
of many illnesses.
Sometimes repeated examinations
are necessary to confirm the pres
ence of disease, and only the ply
sician trained in this field can es-
tablish 1t. For this reason, the fin
ished X-ray film is valueless to the
patient, and must be interpreted to
him by the physician. For the same
reason, 1t is never given to the pa
tient, but remains in the possession
Va Ile plySlCldn OF uOSplCaI.
VALUE OF X-RAY
Study is the chief value of the
X-ray, and SO far it has been used
extensively to diagnose bone frac-
lures, tuberculosis, pneumonia, for
eign bodies in the lungs and eyes,
teeth conditions, inflammatory dis
eases of the digestive tract, tumors
malignant and benign, urinary
stones, and various conditions relat-
ing to childbirth and pregnancy.
For treatment, X-rsys are useful
in connection with diseases of the
bones, skin affections, cancers and
tumors. Their effect is based on the
observation that diseased tissue is
more susceptible to the destructive
action Of the x-ray than normal
tissue is.

Gondon elects a new lord mayor
Tuesday and it was possible that
Churchill might speak at the lord
mayors dinner Wednesday,.
Churchill May Speak
Whether Churchill will partici-
pate in the Commons debate was
not known. but if Eden opens, it
would not be a surprise If Church.
i'll closed for the government.
Eden conferred with Menemen-
cioglu Friday and Saturday at
Cairo, the British announcement
said, on his way back to London
from the Moscow conference.
Reliable reports reaching Madrid
said there was wide speculation in
Berlin diplomatic circles over the
likelihood that Turkey will grant
air bases to the Allies, from which
they could mount Furnishing raids
on the Ploesti oil fields in Ru-
mania and other targets through
out the eastern Balkans, perhaps
in support of amphibious opera
tons.
Turkey probably will re-confirm
her neutral status in the war,
Madrid believed. even as did Por-
tugal in turning over the Azores
bases to the Allies. The affected
bases all would be in European Tur-
key east of the Marmara Sea, it
was said.
1889 Pact
The setup would be taken under
the provisions of the Anglo-Turk-
ish-French mutual assistance pact
of 1899, Madrid understood.
A dispatch from Ankara said that
Baron Franz Won Papen, the Ger
man ambassador to Turkey, would
leave for Berlin this week, pre-
sumably to report on the Anglo
Turkish talks, and would return to
Ankara in 10 days.

Mistakes and adversities preceded
the fight. Two companies were sup
posed to storm the beachhead after
hours of naval and air attack. Ac-
tually only half of headquarters
company, many of them specialists
instead of assault troops, and one
combat platoon reached the focal
point of the landing.
The enemys n millimeter gun

the transports to sea, holding up re-
Inducements for nearly two hours.
Marines died as they stumbled
ashore. The survivors dashed in to
establish the fighting line.
1t was the fiercest resistance they
had encountered but the Marines
knew they could do it. That victory
message went back an hour after
the landing. 1t was three hours
later when the fight ended.

Backward

In one OF our larger cities IA
miliar sight is that of a certain Pc
destrian walking backwards. When
ever questioned, he says, simply, that
he prefers to get his first glimpses
of other pedestrians after he has
passed them, not beforehand If any
one knows of better way to do it,
please tell him, as he is open to sug-
gestions. So far, no one has dis
covered any better method, or indeed
any other method, of accomplishing
his specialized purpose. So he con-
tinues merrily in reverse, spiritually
and physically akin to the mythical
flllyloo bird of the United States
Naval Academy, which, according to
Annapolis legend, flies backwards
because it prefers to see where it
has been, rather than where it is
going to be.
Somewhat of a cross between the
motives of this pedestrian and those
of the flllyloo bird would seem to be
those of the Nazi armies in Russia,
now so busily engaged in a backward
advance. Like the eccentric pedes-
trian, they would prefer to see Rus
slams, if they have to see them at all,
after they have passed them by, and
then some. On the other hand, like
the flllyloo bird, they find it much
more satisfactory to see where they
have been than to look at the dark,
troublous places to which they are
backing up. What they really want,
however, is a clock with the same
complex. Time marches on; the
same time, once supposed to be on
their side, and which they cannot
persuade, try as they may, to proceed
backwards with their reverse in
vaSion.

Democratic Victory

Although the voters of the second
California congressional district have
elected Democrat to fill the House
seat made vacant by the death of
Harry L. Englebright, Republican,
1t is little difficult to understand
the jubilation of the Democratic high
command.
In the first place, the Democrat
won only because of a split in the
Republican ranks. His vote, on the
basis Of nearly complete returns, was
ll,165, while total of 17,1S4 votes
was cast for the two Republican
candidates.
Furthermore, this congressional
district, instead of being traditionally
Republican, as some Democrats
would have the public believe, has
had strong Democratic leanings.
Representative Englebright, to be
sure, was consistent winner, but
his hold on the voters of the district
seems to have been largely personal
one. This is evidenced by the fact
that President Roosevelt carried the
district in all three OF his campaigns.
In 1910 he received about Sc per cent
