The apparatus reduces from 80
minutes to one minute the ma
nipulating and calculating time
for measuring blood volume Of
patients during and after surg
cry. Physicians say it may have
virtually unlimited use in any
field using the tracer technique
with isotopes.
1t was developed by DR.. Sal
ONION Albert, chief of anesthes-
iology at District General Hos
pital and clinical instructor in
unsatisfactory at the George
Washington University School of
Medicine; DR.. William A. Spen-
Ger chief surgical resident at
the hospital. and William o.
Swan, a physicist now in his
senior year at the Virginia Theo-
logical Seminary in Alexandria.
Simple to Use
Doctors declared that this
computer can be manned by a
nurse, an intern or anyone who
can handle a syringe with but a
little training. DR.. Albert pointed
out that present-day standard
techniques all involve some 30
minutes for manipulation Of
equipment plus the work Of sew
eral technicians or attendants.
The machine, known as the
"Albert Swan Dilution Com
puter," works something like
this:
Chromium 81, a radio isotope,
Is injected into the patient. A
few moments later a blood sam
pie is taken. The isotope has
spread evenly throughout the
body.
The blood sample with the iso-
tope is run through plastic coil

(plastic to save time in cleaning
glassware and exposed to a
crystal that is sensitive to nu-
clear radiation of any type. The
crystal translates the radiation
into electrical impulses and the
machine computes and records
the results.
In brief. the more the isotope
is diluted by blood. the more
blood there is in the patient.
Avoids Error
This system is not only swifter
but also eliminates the factor
of human error.
1t has many uses. 1t can be
used to quickly count the per-
centage of red cells in the blood.
It can measure the amount of
isotopes spread throughout metal
in Industrial plants. Doctors at
d. c. General use 1t for all types
of metabolic studies-anything
where percentages are important.
1t is used to determine thyroid
uptakes.
Work on the machine began
in July. 1855. DR.. Albert went
to several commercial medical
instrument companies in an eff
fort to get one to develop and
manufacture the computer, but
without success

A stupendous project that
would dwarf the present project
"a 21-mile bridge and tunnel
crossing where the Chesapeake

would furnish a direct link be-

The underwater tube itself is
$3.50 feet long-well over a mile.
Contrary to an impression held
by many, it does not extend from
shore to shore. such as Balti-

tapsco River.
Instead, the Hampton Roads
tunnel connects two man-made
islands dredged up from the
ocean depths. At the lowest

Both the Baltimore and
Hampton Roads tunnels are the

more is $500 feet long. making
the one here the longest of its
kind in the world.
Two Traffic Lanes Each Way
The Maryland project is
larger in another respect, how
ever. 1t will be a twin tube,
carrying two lanes of traffic in
each direction. Hampton Roads
is a single tube carrying a %
foot roadway with one traffic
lane in each direction.

have to be much too large.
The models are covered with
papier mache, and are colored to
represent the way the celestial
bodies look to astronomers; mars,
for instance, looks red. The sun is
made out of large light globe,
and the planets are constructed
from balloons blown up to the
right proportions. The table on
which they are displayed also con-
tains facts about the various men,
bers of the solar system; and
saturn has his rings, just as the
real saturn does.
Mayfair children passing this

rent interest in satellites has
spanked their interest in celestial
objects, and also makes this exhibit

SIX SKIES

be persuaded very hard to read
lots of books, because it is such a
pleasure to use the still-new facili-
ties Of the up-to-date Caledonia
Branch of the East Cleveland
Public Library, which is only half
a block away from the school. In
the pleasant surroundings of this
library, they enjoy hunting up and
reading books, and are often as
sisted in their selection by the Lii
brarian, Miss Martha Driver. Some
of the sixth graders of the Hill
top School recently wrote English
themes describing this library,
and we have read some of them;
they are-if you'll pardon an over
worked word-solid.
ROzelle
Christmas candles are being
decorated with sequins and other
pretty things by number of
Rozelle classrooms these days, but
the pupils in Miss Roxie Lodges
third grade had ideas of their own
about things to do with candles.
They had been studying recently
about "candle dipping" in the
pioneer days in America, and de-.
cided to fix their candles up in the
method used by our ancestors.
First, they melted some other
candles Of various colors-red,
yellow, and green. They they
dipped their new, white candles in
the hot colored wax, until an en-
tirely new colored coat appeared
on them. Tips and shanks of the
children's candles are Of contrast
ing colors, for greater variety.
Superior
Miss Ruth Kaps' children in the
third grade are reading them
slves to the moon" these days at
Superior School. When they bring
in their first completed book re-
port, they get out Of the hangar;
then with the completion of more
books they get off the ground,
reach the first meteor, and so
on, until twenty completed books
get them within hallooing distance
of the moons landscape itself. In
their spare time they have been
engaged in another project, the
construction of Indian moccasins
and travoises to supplement their
Early Americans studies. A ira
vols is a wooden framework made
to drag on the ground behind an
Indian horse, on which bundles
can be carried; it's a kind of
broken-down luggage carrier, we
would call it.

Miss Elizabeth Anderson's fifth
grade class at Mayfair School has

system, which is on exhibit in the

their actual size except the globe

Caledonia

Caledonia
The reading of stories takes
different forms at different grade
levels in a school. This may be
illustrated by examples from two
groups of children at Caledonia
School. Miss Kate Warmers Sec
ond grade children are reading,
dramatizing, and illustrating a
story about a dissatisfied pine
tree that finally regains its
needles and becomes a Christmas
Tree. The children are following
the trees progression from needles
to golden leaves (stolen) to glass
leaves (broken) to "leafy" leaves
(eaten) and back to needles again
with great interest.
Older Caledonians don't have to
