NEA Staff Writer

Georges Claude, French sa'
want who once startled the SCI
entific world by declaring he
could saddle power of the seas
TO the needs Of man has handed
the world another jolt--he's be-
klieved TO be the inventor of the
robot bombs.
Claude, 74-year-old member
of the French Academy, has
been arrested by the French
near Nancy, where parts Of ro-
bot bomb emplacements also
were found. For some time, re-
ports reaching Allied ears have
indicated that Claude was the
father of the robot.
During trips to the Americas
from 1927 to 1884, Claude rated
extensive newspaper space with
stories and picture of his latest
findings, including device
which he believed could obtain
electric energy from the Gulf
Stream. He demonstrated his
invention in 1880 at Havana,
Cuba, causing 500-candlepower
bulbs to glow for half an hour
with energy produced from the
ocean.
DISASTROUS END
Claude's pretentious efforts
ended in disaster when one of
the huge tubes necessary to sink
down to the depths of cold wa
ter, broke loose and was lost.
The expense Of recommending
all the work was too great and
the enterprise was abandoned.
Some time later, Claude an
nounced that such deep sea &C
Invites were best conducted
from a boat. He convinced a
group of scientists and industri-
aliSts to support him in a new
venture. The 10,000-ton ship
Tunisia was rented and refitted.
The party sailed 10 Rio de ia
metro, but his equipment failed
to work and he wired France
that he was through.

wound the Irvine from the shaft,
passed it through the pulley and
fastened the sllp-knot over the trig-
ger. Then he slipped a blank car
fridge into the chamber and cooked
the pistol again.
"Now Tor the telephone end" he
said aloud. He bent over the bell
box, and, after opening It, studied
the wiring infinitely. He lifted the
phone from its cradle time after
time and finally located the circuit
which was broken when the receiver
was down. When he had determined
his positive and negative wires. he
disconnected them at the bell box
and experimentally connected them
again with the wire leading from
the base-plug to the self-starter OF
| the ACKNOWLEDGING device.
Again and again Argus shifted
the wiring. He was perspiring and
he removed his coat. Once he got a
shock. Then he donned a pair OF
rubber gloves and proceeded with
greater caution. He found a way
TO make il work based on the ring
ing Of the telephone bell, but he was
not content with that. Desperately.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

Argus smiled when he read OF
he good authority" from whom the
reporter had received his informa-
ton. He wondered why the young
md eager Jones Of the air-conoition-
ing company had not gone further
and mentioned the machine itself
Perhaps he had not been able 10
think of logical connection. We'll,
that at least was something 10 be
thankful for.
Want anything, boss" Butch
asked from the doorway.
Bring the kitchen table in here,
will you?"
Kitchen table? Oh, sure. Sure.
Butch shook his head.
Argus got out his tool chest, con-
tanning a fine set, which he bought
in Germany before the days Of
ersdt=. He placed a piece o. news
paper on the floor. Then he produced
a small acetylene-welding blow
torch and lighted it. While it was
heating up, he unscrewed the top Of
the air-conditioning unit. Then he
plugged the machine into a wall
socket and snapped on the switch,
He consulted the fashllght photo
OF the gun mount which he had
taken in Syria's apartment. Butch
brought in the kitchen table.
Argus fastened a small steel wise
on the edge Of the table. He COM
menced to fashion two metal clamps
one to fit the revolver handle and
the other to fit snugly around the
barrel. Time and time again he held
the revolver in position by hand and
measured to the minute fraction Of
an inch the length which was re-
quired for the clamps. When they
we're completed he fitted them first
on the revolver, then set the gun IN
place in the machine.
After several adjustments with
his pliers. Argus had it set so thai
the nozzle Of the barrel was directly
opposite the center hole Of the orna

duced several strips OF soft lead
and using the burner. welded the
metal clasps in place. Again he con

To this wire he fastened a 20-incf

Avoid Taking Laxatives

The average person will say
"Well, how am / to know whether
l have appendicitis, so that | will
refrain from taking a laXativeI
am not a diagnostlclan."
The answer is very simple
never take a Laxative for an acute
bellyache. An acute pain in the
abdomen, coming out Of a clear SKY
in a person in previous good
health, or what Is called an acute
attack Of indigestion with nausea,
vomiting, pain or discomfort that
starts in the pit Of the stomach
and gradually moves downward,
especially if there is fever and
tenderness is nearly always APP
pendlcitis. The only other alter
natives are gladstone attack or
something indigestlble you ate,
and a cathartlc will not do the first
any good, and Nature viii even
tua.ly cure the second by diar-
rhoea. So the rule never give =
laxative IN the face Of an acute
bellyache, holds. This is espe-
ciaily true Of babies and young
people. From 1929 to 1881 the
death rate per 100000 for appen-
dicitis was 70 in those from one to
four years Of age, and 10 for those
from ten to twenty-five Of age.
Appendicitis is predominantly .
disease Of young people.

cause Of the bad results was not
so much the disease itself but the
ignorance and carclessncss and the
bad management of doctors and
surgeons and nurses and the pa
tent them selves. The patients
themselves had no right TO be ex-
pectcd to know better, but in those
DAYS when there was no war near
ly everybody who had appendicitis
could get doctor and so 1t was
mostly the doctors fault,
The two things that DR.. Ochs-
ner harped on were, first, never
give patient with acute append
citis a cathartic or anything by
mouth, and, second, there is an
early stage when it is safe to OPP
crate for acute appendicitis and
then there supervenes stage
when It is very dangerous to OPP
crate, but if the patient Is carried
through that stage by proper
treatment 1t is again safe 70
operate.
Methods OF Treatment
can testify that while the gen.
eral mortality IN Chicago at that
time from acute appendicitis was
over 1919 of cases, DR.. Ochsners
own mortality following the use
Of his methods was less than Ice.
His methods Of treatment when he
saw the patient in the stage too
dangerous TO operate were very
simple-keep the patient at rest,
with an icebag on the abdomen,
use morphine and give nothing
Whatever by mouth except occa-
sionally a teaspoonful Of warm
water, until the temperature and
pulse had been normal for four
days.
The recent decline in the appen-
dicltis death rate has been spec
tacular. as pointed out by the
Statistical Bulletin Of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company.
During the last four years the
death rate has been cut in half
among the company's industrial
policy holders, on top Of a reduc-
ton Of nearly so per cent in the
preceding decade. Washington,
the nations capital, between the
years 1880 and 1870 showed =
decline of II per cent.
The two factors ascribed - the
cause Of the improvement are the
education of the doctors and tre
public about the dangers Of the
use of laxatives and eathartics,
and the use Of the sulfa drugs in
the surgical treatment Of cases
OF suppurative appendicitis. Rup-
ture of the appendix accounts for
four-ffths Of the deaths from APP
pendici;is and the cause Of rupture
is usually the use Of laxatlves IN
the presence Of an early stage In
an attack Of appendicitis.
