R T e BRONCHOSCOPE 1S | INPORTANT THING May Lead fo New Treatment lorf Pneumonia } New York, April 17 (#—The pos- sibility of an additional method of treating pneumonia, somewhat more surgical than medical, is suggested | by the experiments of two physi- | cians who have been working in the ‘ surgical research departinent of the Cornell university collage of medi- | cine, Announcement of pary results, which havc | ported to the New York Academy of Medicine, was authorized by the | college. | Their theory is that pneumonia | is initiated by the sudden stoppage | of a bronchus by infocted mucus or secretion and that the hrencho- | scope, & long metal tube cquipped | with an electric light which alles the phyeician 1o explore throat and chedt pa may pos- sibly, be of use in ing this | chstruction in the early stages of | the disease. | Dr. P. N, Coryllos, pr of clinical surgery at Cornell, and Dr. | G. N, Birnbaum, his aid | not have pnfumonia in mind wl they started their rescarch in 1520 They were studying what tlhe pro- feysion know as “post-aperative massive collapse,” or shrinking of the lung, a condition that some- timea follows operations, It had beem attributed to various 'causes, ut after producing the discase ex- perimentally and studying the re- sults with the X-ray, the investiga- tors observed that the cause was ap- parently the complcte stoppage of | one of the bronchi and the absorp- tion of the air in thc affected lung by the blood vesscls in the tissues of that organ. They also noticed that the heart | moved over to occupy the space vacated by the shrunken lung, that the diaphragm elevated its position to fulfill the same functton, and that the sound lung cxpanded. Such rhenomena have been reported in pneumonia also, and these and | other similarities between massive | collapse and pncumonia stimulated the phyalcians to investigate the two diseases further. They concluded that complete ob- struetion of & bronchus by mueus or gecretion was the immediate cauge ef pneumonia as well as of muasive collapse. Sinca the use of the bronchoscope to withdraw the sccrction had given relief In the latter discase, it oceurred to the investigators that | beneficial results might also be ob- tained by employing that instru- ment fn pneumonia. Dr. Coryllos and Dr, Birnbaum are developing a technique for treating pneumonia in accordance with this theory, but “they insist on the point that relief of the local lung lesion with the bronchoscope does not interferc with the use of serum to combat general infection. The bronchoscopic treatment 1is simple, bloodless and painless, and no {ll effects have been noticed in clinical cases treated thus far. The investigators asscrt that nothing can yet be said of the efficiency of the treatment, but they hope that with tho development of technique it may bs of decided value. “PROSPERITY RESERVE" Semator Jones' Measurc is Ordered Favorably Reported by Senate Commerce Committee. ‘Washington, April 17 (1) — The *‘prosperity reserve” bill of Senator Jones, republican, of Washington, setting up a vast public works pro- gram to be used by the President whenever employment drops, was brdered favorably reported today by the senate commerce committee, The bill would authorize to be ap- propriated, in addition to the regu- lar amounts for such purposes, $75,- 000,000 for good roads construction; 450,000,000 for river and harbors work; $10,400,000 for flood control; and $15,000,000 for construction of public buildings. Appropriations, however, would be made only upon the request of the Presldent when the volume of contracts awarded for construction work has fallen 10 per cent for a thres month period below the aver- age o©f the corresponding three month periods of the preceding lhree years.

Having at our command a voltage almost 20 times as high as any now used, or likely to be used, and very much higher than any lightning voltage ever observed on a transmission line, we can study the induction of lighting under laboratory condi- tions and develop means of com- batting it. Our work to date sug- gests that ground wires carried over the power wires will solve the problem.” e CENTRAL JUNIOR NOTES The ninth grade met in its respec- tive home rooms yestcrday = aftes noon for the regular weckly Civi League meetings at which class business was taken up.
