Wentz, Wealthy Pennsylvanian, Had Been Missing in Florida. College of Physicians Hears How Patients Live Despite Cardiac Diseases. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, March 24.—Discovery of how “emergency” sets of capillaries in tissues of the human body go into sction to stave off effects of heart dis- eass was described today before the American College of Physicians. Dr. Soma Weiss of the Boston City Hospital announced results of five years of study of the laws that govern circu- Iation of the blood in persons who have heart trouble. It is hoped his dis- coveries will make possible more expert dlagnosis of heart ailments and reveal more exactly the effects of treatments now in use. 3 Reserve Capillaries Act. ‘When heart disease impairs blood cir- culation through the lungs, the reserve capillaries in the lungs open and serve as automatic adjusting mechanisms to offset the trouble. Operation of the “emergency” capillaries often enables the patient to live for years in fairly condition, Dr. Weiss said. Circu- tion of blood in the lungs may be con- siderably impaired before any serious defect is seen in the circulation, that carries nutriment to the other body tissues. When the lung reserves finally are exhausted, other reserve capiiliaries in the other body tissues go into action and keep the circulation going as long as possible. Only when both reserves are exhausted does the circulation fail completely. Dr. John R. Williams of Rochester, N. Y., said thousands of persons have ben mistakenly told by- doctors that they have diabetes and are on restricted diets or receiving insulin treatment they do not need and which may even be harmful. “Careless and Inaccurate methods have led physicians to diagnose diabetes in numerous patients who do not have the disease, while many others who have diabetes are receiving inefficient care” he declared. He proposed a means of diabetes control that he be- lieves more accurate, based on & pa- tient's ability to produce his own insulin through the pancreas glahd. Excess 6f sugar being passed from the body is accepted by many doctors as sufficient evidence of diabetes. Actually, presence of the sugar does not neces- sarily mean a person has the disease, Dr. Williams said. Measuring the amount of insulin a patient can produce in 24 hours reveals whether this amount is deficient. Treat- ment then can be regulated accurately to make up the deficiency, Dr. Willlams explained. New Cancer Discovery. Discovery of a possible new avenue for the study of cancer of the stomach was announced by Dr. Lay Martin of Johns Hopkins University, who said he had found four previously undiscovered chemical constituents in gastric juice of humans. They are ammonia, ami- noacid, urea and uric agid. In cases of cancer of the stomach the propor- tion of these elements in gastric juice shows a marked increase. It is not yet known whether the in- is typical of cancer of the There is a possibility the and may be an aid to diagnosis, he said. Cancer of the digestive system is in- creasing, it was reported by Dr. Thomas R. Brown of Baltimore. Surgery is the only hope of cure of this type of cancer which makes early diagnosis es- sential. Digestive troubles that do not yield to ordinary treatment may in- dicate existence of such a cancer. Chronic appendicitis is not as fre- quent as generally believed, and many operations for appendicits do not re- lieve the real cause of the trouble, de- clared Dr. Julius Friedenwald and Dr. ‘Theodore H. Morrison of Baltimore in a joint paper. X-Ray Held Misleading.

BUENAVENTURA, Colombfa, March 24 (#).—While flying last Tuesday with other pilots of the squadron to which I am attached, near the main bedy of the fleet, which was about 36 hours’ steaming south of the Panama Canal, my auxiliary tank ran dry while we were going through a .cloudbank. .The clouds had become thick since we left the U. S. S. Langley earlier in the morning, and during the time it took me to get gas pressure on my main gas tank and to get my motor started again I lost altitude and lost sight of the rest of the squadron. I circled below the clouds for a few minutes and then climbed up above them, but I could see no other planes. Then I went down below again and made a scouting circuit, first to the right and then to the left, trying to get back to my original starting point, for I figured I couldn’t be very far from the fleet. | Prepared Lifeboat.

I saw that she could ot stay afioat much longer so I inflated the rubber lifeboat and launched it, tying up to the fueslage so I cculd stick with the plane as long as possible, About 2 a.m. on Wednesday I heard the alr hissi) fiuub of the right flotation | tank, so I shoved off and the plane | sank quickly.
