A—l() o i, s w ANTIOPHTHERIA *DRVE EXPANDED Two Immunization Clinics . Will Be Placed in Opera- tion Here. As a part of the Nation-wide cam- paign of the American Child Health Association to stamp out diphtheria, the Child Welfare Society at Chil- dren's Hospital is greatly expanding | its arrangements to care for diph- | theria immunization _treatments in | Washington. Beginning May 7 two | immunization clinics will be in oper- | ation, one for white and one for col- ored children. The one clinic, which has been in operation at Children’s Hospital dur- ing recent years, is now handling a far greater than normal number of diphtheria immunization treatments and, as a result of the local and na- | tional anti-diphtheria drives and the | opening of the new clinic, it is antici- pated the greatest number of treat- ments in history will be recorded this year. Free to Poor Children. * Starting May 7 the two clinics will be held weekly on Tuesday and Sat- | urday mornings and diphtheria im- | munization treatment will be admin- | istered free to children in families | which cannot afford to pay for such treatments. A small fee to cover the | cost of the toxoid will be asked of those who can afford this charge, but who cannot afford to go to a private physician for such a treatment. The new single dose treatment is being used this year at the Children’s Hospital clinic. it was explained by Miss Caroline Sweeney. supervisor in charge. In the past, two treatments | have been necessary. This year the single treatment method, coupled with the separation of the clinics, is expected to result in a very great in- crease in the capacity of the estab- lishment at Children’s Hospital for | handling immunization cases. | “In view of the one-dose treatment | toxold now being used and the exist- | ing facilities now available,” Miss Sweeney said. “there is no reason why Washington can't go a long way toward the desired goal—no deaths from diphtheria.” Part of Health Observance. The final official announcement of ‘Washington's child health services, to be inaugurated as a part of the an-| nual May day health observance, was issued yesterday by Dr. Hugh J. Davis, | chairman of the Child Health May Day Committee, created by Health Officer Ruhland. Dr. Davis said the committee and the Health Department desire to make this May day a starting point for con- tinuous efforts for the health and wel- | fare of children, in accordance with the proclamation by President Roose- velt. The committee calls special at- tention to the need for proper care of infants up to 6 years of age, with a view to prevention of diphtheria by toxoid immunization. Through a gift of $1,000 by the Child Welfare Board of the Children’s | Hospital, a supply of toxoid material has been loaned to the child hygiene | centers of the Health Department and | from the Community Chest funds the | out-patient departments of the mem- ber hospitals have been similarly sup- | plied.

By the Associated Press electric current of a few thou- sandths of a volt which flows While there are indications that body electric currents may some day | be used to read thought, the currents now known are undecipherable when taken by themselves. But in connection with other signs of emotion they have some meaning. For this reason Leonarde Keeler of the scientific crime detection laboratory, Northwestern University, has added the electrical instruments to his latest model “lie detector.” The other, better-known emotional ! signals which this detector registers are respiration, blood pressure and pulse. Prof. Keeler insists that this instrument, which he calls the poly- raph, is not a “lie detector.” So his polygraph records emotional symptoms, of health, disease, mental upsets and a skilled person may diag- nose some of these symptoms as pos- sible lies. The riot of meanings flowing in a person’s electrical skin currents is de- scribed by Prof. Louis William Max of New York University. These cur- rents may be read by dipping two fin- gers in two cups. each containing an electrically conducting liquid. Or sil- ver coins may be piaced on palm and back of the hand, with wires attached. The readings are either the voltage of current flowing normally through the | skin, or skin resistance to the current. A sudden loud question will show in a change of resistance. A bright light flashing on registers similarly. cards for which may be obtained by registering at the Central Admitting Burean for Hospitals at Eighth and I streets northwest. The hours ar- ranged for May day in the hospitals are: Providence, 8:30 to 9. George Washington, 9 to 11: Garfield. 10 to 11; Freedmen's, 10 to 12: Episcopal, 12 to 1: Emergency, 3 to 5 The immunization schedule for these same hospitals regularly after May day will be as follows: Monday—8:30 to 9, Providence; 12:30 to 1:30, Garfield. Tuesday—12:30 to 1, Georgetown (starting May T): 9 to 10:30, Chil- dren’s Hospital (colored). ‘Wednesday—8:30 to 9, Providence; 12:30 to 1:30, Garfield.

The trouble at present is that a sign of innocence makes just as much electrical change as breath catching in guilt. The skin currents appear to be con- nected with the autonomic nervous system. This system controls the ris- ing of the hair of the head in fear, goose flesh, digestive action, the endo- crine glands, and the action of the smooth muscles such as force the blood along the veins, Therefore the psycho-galvanic cur- rent appears to indicate physical, per- haps emotional, conditions beyond the individual's control. | FREE...Demonstration How easy it is to learn - SPANISH Wednesday, May 1; 6,7,8,9 P.M. at the Berlitz School of Languages 1115 Connecticut A nn!l£270 eATER “‘fl\.u STRENGTW UTOCRH3ge R Ol Remmsylyamials Fimeit BAYEESON OII.;QVggRKS LUMARIA 13th 8 G A Combination Offer Two-Tub Washer Modern Roll Ironer Both for . .
