DISCOVERIES.

ffFrom Mrs. II. s. H.. Falls Church.
I made q few discoveries lately
that I thought might be worth
passing On TO al you readers.
Our 6-year-old had her tonsils
out the first of the month and
she asked for . nursing bottle TO
sip liquids through. I was at
hospital with her the first night
and hated TO ask the nurse for q
bottle. As soon as ! got home !
purchased o little 4-ounee bottle,
the kind that comes with the
nipple and top as q unit. These
have q large top. The result
was 100 per cent. I could put
cracked Ice In the bottle as well
as any other fluid the child
wanted, she could lie down and
sip away to her hearts content.
No slip, no spill. no straw. If
any Of you mothers stay at hospi-
tai with your child after q tonsil
operation ] believe you would be
glad you carried q little nursing
bottle with you. I cut q little
bigger hole In the nipple. Of
course.
II you have the misfortune 10 |
have the juice boil cut Of Q pie,
and have all the black chippyI
stun to take out of the oven,
and you have O tube type vacuum
cleaner. or one with attachments,
just take all the chippy pieces
out with the vacuum.
II yeu have to take shortening /
from . can and don't have to
measure too carefully the amount
you need, heat O metal spoon for
q few minutes In hot water. Then
the shortening will slip OF the
spoon completely.
To the reader who was dis
tressed about her children arguing.
Don't worry. We have two child
ZEN, II and 6. I was most dis

We are fortunate In being ordered

10 appreciate 1t II any Of you who
have lived there recently would
share the benefit Of your expe-
rience. The climate I am familiar
with (and happy to return to-. /.
but I have been unable to get any
real information from the Cham
Der Of Commerce on living con-
ditions. We are interested In mar
rowing down the search to the
most desirable suburbs. The most
important factor would be public
schools, then, ] think, availability
Of swimming and other recrea-
tional facilities for middle aged"
children. Not too expensive COM
munity. but one which has already
developed the facilities for pleas
ant living. We shall probably buy
q home, and are very much inter-
ested In availability and prices,
perhaps In comparison with the
situation here. These things are
hard to determine when one moves
to q strange city, and it would be
most helpful II any Of you, could
advise US.
And now, Mrs. r. II. W., perhaps
! can o6er q suggestion as to the |

which ] too painted myself and

might tack the pennants to that
thick cotton rope used by decora-
tors and fasten 1t horizontally
with two strong fine nails. These
holes could be easily touched up
later. when his fancy In "decora-

EoR many months now, Ford Motor
L Company has been making a deter.
mined effort to solve one Of the great
human problems involved in making
automobiles-the large.scale layoffs
which usually come with retooling
for a model change.
Ford's major attack on this big
problem developed from a desire to
provide workers with the kind of.
security they want-the chance to
work continuously at good wages.
Results of Ford's first efforts were
encouraging. Of the 10000 workers
at the River Rouge factory, only about

declared, gives a third dimension"
effect to X-rays capable of pictur-
ing the exact location Of foreign
materials in the body and offers
new promise by its pin-point ac-
ton in the diagnosis of tubercu-
losis. cancer and many other con-
ditions.
Technique Praised.
Introducing DR.. Soler-Roig, DR..
Arnold S. Jackson. co-chief of the
jackson Clinic, Madison. Wis, said
the technique is revolutionary
development" in X-ray diagnosis
and that it has received "tremen-
dous enthusiasm" from doctors
who have seen it during the Span
ish surgeons visit to this country.
The method consists Of shoot
ing X-rays at downward angle
through the patient and against
an X-ray plate, resting horizon
tally on the other side of the
patient. The transverse, or cross
section view. he said, is obtained
by rotating the patient-seated in
a revolving chair-and rotating
the x-ray plate on its own axis
at precisely the same degree and
rate of speed as the patient.
The patient and x-ray plate.
he said, can be revolved several
times to give q clearer image
since the continuous stream Of
X-rays passing through any spe-
cific point in the body strike the
X-ray plate at exactly the same
spot at each revolution.
Method illustrated.
DR.. Soler-Roig illustrated the
method with cross-section X-rays
of the chest to show the exact
location of the lung cysts, and
their relative locations to glands
and organs Of the body.
The x-rays showed only those
tissues and bone structures which
were in the narrow horizontal
plane cut by the stream Of x
rays. Outlines of the heart, a
spinal column and rib could be
clearly seen. Aimed at q different
plane, other structures would be
visible.
DR.. Soler- -Roig said he also has
used the method, for example. to
show cross sections Of the skull
for the exact location of foreign
materials imbedded within the
head. BY the same token, he said.
images can be made Of sections of
the arms, legs or any other por-
tions of the body.

ing . tiny electric needle reaching
into the depths Of the brain,
surgeons can destroy nerves to
give relief to victims Of severe
mental illness. a noted neurologist
reported today.
Addressing the second session Of
the international College Of Sur
geons, DR.. Ernest A. Spiegel, pro-
fessor Of neurology at Temple
University Medical School. said
the new apparatus for the first
time gives surgeons q chance to
reach deep-seated parts Of the
brain without damaging areas
near the surface.
The needle. insulated except for
It's tip, is held in q calibrated in

any direction over the head. After
plotting with X-rays, the point in
the brain they want to reach, sur
geons can direct the needle down.
ward with great precision.
Pain Controlled.
DR.. Splegel said the needle has
been used successfully to destroy
nerve fibers to control pain and
in certain cases Of epilepsy origi-
mating in the depth Of the brain.
Research also recently was be-
gun ut Temple, he told Z re-
porter. to test destructive power
Of the needle against cancer and
other malignant growths.
The apparatus, called the
stereoencepha1otome. was de-
veloped primarily. however, to de-
stroy nerve fibers-in a portion Of
the brain called the thalamus-
which are thought to control emo
tion reaction, such as fear and
worry.
BY this method, DR.. Spiegel
said. severe mental illnesses in
volving such emotions have been
corrected without causing harm
full personality changes seen when
the nerve fibers are destroyed in
frontal lobes of the brain. Al
though these fibers are more read
lily accessible in frontal lobes Of
the brain, DR.. Spiegel said 1t is
"anatomically impossible" to de-
stroy them without also harming
other closely intermingled nerves
which control personality.
New X-Ray Method.
In another paper. the surgeons
were told Of q new method which
for the first time makes possible
q one picture "cross section"
X-ray Of any part Of the human
body.
The startling new technique,
which came as a surprise to mem
bers Of the college. was described
by q prominent Spanish surgeon,
DR.. Jose Soler-R Roig Of Barcelona,
who was to describe surgical treat
ment Of parasitic lung cysts, COM
mon in his country.
The method, as illustrated by
DR.. Soler-Roig. results in an K
ray image similar to the view
which would be obtained by look
ing down on q body which had
been cut In half, from side to side.
DR.. Soler-Roig, chief surgeon Of
the San Pablo Hospital at BARGE
Iona, said the technique, not yet
reported In medical literature, was
developed In recent months BY Or.
