OUR DEFERRED.EATMENE - e §8 128 UBI{S SRS + ettt £5420 rdat— GAS CHAMBER CURE FOR COLDS SPREADS Chemical Warfare Service Opens New “Cage” and Others " Are Contemplated. Answering an ever-incressing de- mand from the usual spring army of cold-infected ‘Washnigtonians, the chemical warfare service of the Army has opened up a’ new and unique chlorine gas chamber in the office of Lieut. Col. H. L. Gilchrist, chief of the division of medical research and one of the pioneers in the use of the vapors as a cure for bronchial dis- eases. There the afflicted of all classes re- pair daily for a thorough “gassing, and the once serene office of the medical research commander has be- come a veritable mecca for red- eyed, sneezing mediocrity and aris- tocracy alike—all bound together in the common bond of the intolerable cold bug. The gas chamber has been in oper- ation two weeks and is likely to be the model for half a dozen more scattered through the various depart- ments of the government. Already specialists from the Agriculture De- partment have inspected it with a view to establishing a duplicate in their building. Appointments have been made with officials from other departments. Swamped With Applicants. In the two weeks that have elapsed since he completed his “cage,” as the chemical warfare section aides are wont to term it, Col. Gilchrist has treated 20 senators and 150 members of the House of Representatives for overything from a oold in the head to acute bronchitis. His calling list rapidly is reaching the point where prospective patients must make ap- pointments a day or more in advance. Peeping through the small glass window of the chamber, one ls likely to see strange sights. For instance, a casual observer the other day might have noticed two distinguished-look- ing men in serous-looking conve sation with a bright bit of a bo: Inquiry would have identified the two men as Henry Lane Wilson, for- mer ambassador to Mexico, and Sena- ‘60. B. moses &g Sons! Established 1861 D. ¢, JUNE B, 1924—PART 2 tor Watson, and the boy as Walter Johnson, ir., son of the famous Wash- ington moundsman. But the officers of the medical re- search division draw no distinction because of rank or position. Any per- 80n, whether employed in the govern- ment oF out of it, may receive treat- ments in Col. Gilchrist's office, and special arrangements are made to allot one hour of each day to colored sufferers. Usually the noon hour is selected for the colored patignts, but appointments always must be ar- ranged in advance. Takes Patiemts in Growps. The chamber will accommodate six persons at a sitting.: One hour is all a patient can take in a day, and Col. Gilchrist figures that his daily aver- age since first opening the chamber has been twenty-six patients. Judg- ing from the reports of the patients, the results have been little short of amazing, although Col. Gilchrist has warned his callers that chlorine gas is not a *‘cure-all.” “Chlorine gas has its field of use- fulness,” he said, “but it also has a degree of limitations. It should be handled only by physicians and on selected cases. The gus is especially adapted for cases of whooping cough and for conditions due to the lods- ment of cold-producing germs on the superficial membranes of the respira- tory traot. It is not recommended for use in old asthmatic conditions, hay fever, pneumonia, tuberculosis or any lung trouble.” The chamber and gassing apparatus adopted by Col. Gilchrist is sufficient- ly compact to be built and used in any physician's office. The chamber is made of beaver board and the ap- paratus, including a tank containing enough gas to treat hundreds of per- sons, could be carried easily in a small traveling bag. It consists of a tank no larger around than a water pipe, two glass containers, several feet of glass pipe and an ordinary fan. e o Adee Is Recuperating. Alvey A. Adee, the veteran diplomtic guide of the Department of State, who has been ill several weeks, has return- ed from a visit to Asbury Park some- what improved in health, and probably will be able to resume his official du- ties in a short time. He has been ac- tively identified with the diplomatic service of the United States since Sep- tember, 1870, and has been attached to the State Department since July, 1877. He has been second assistant secretary since August, 1888. ATTORNEY IS HELD.: Ralph Reeves Charged With Lar- ceny After Trust. Ralph Doughial Reeves, member of the local bar and connected with x Baltimore financtal institution, was arrested in Baltimore yesterduay and returned here by Detective Murphy to answer a charge of larceny after trust, the warrant alleging that he obtained $400 from Mrs. Mary E. Cosden, 1311 K street, where he formerly roomed. In addition to the amount men- tioned in the warrant, Mrs. Cosden to the police that a second note for $2,000 also had been n gotiated by the defendant. It is al leged by Mrs. Cosden that the d fendant told her he was in a real estate “jam” and wanted something to hold as securit; promising he would not negotiate the paper. Mrs. Cosden said she was sur- prised to learn the notes had been negotiated, explaining why her ac- count in 'bank had been reported overdrawn. The transaction is al- leged to have taken place in Jan- uary. Bond for his appearance was fixed at $3,000. New Golf Course Opens. ‘The new nine-hole golf course for the colored people of the District, which is located between the Lincoln Me- morial and the Naval Hospital, west of 23rd street, was officially opened yesterday at noon.
