D.H.S. GRIDDORS RALLY TO DEFEAT HICKSVILLE. 16-13 — ~ — i

CONTEST HAS MANY THRILLS I Visitors Stronger Than Expected; Hicksville Captain Stars Uncorking a powerful offensive in i the fourth quarter which resulted In two touchdowns. The Decatur high school Yellow Jackets overcame a 13 3 lead and defeated the strong Hicksville, Ohio, high school eleven in a thrilling footbal game on Ahr’s Field yesterday afternoon, the final score being 16-13. The game was marked by many thrills which kept the spectators yelling throughout. . The Yellow Jackets were trailing 6u at the end of the first half and late in the third quarter the score stood 13-3 against them. It was then that the locals started their victorious drivie which resulted in a beau-

tiful drop-kick from the thirty yard line by Milt Swearinger just before the third quarter ended, and two touchdowns in the final quarter. The Hicksville eleven proved to be much stronger than had been anticipated by the local team and fans. Captain Smith, who played quarterback for the visitors, is one of the greatest football players that has ever performed on the local gridiron. It was his sensational running from ( scrimmage and in returning punts , that gave he team a commanding j lead which looked for a time like it , would be enough to win the .game, . In the fourth quarter the fighting quarterback partially dislocated his . left shoulder and the tijury handi- . capped him greatly, finally forcing . him out of the game a few minutes ( before the finish of the game, hut ( he protested against leaving the con- , test. ( Hicksville had the better of the ar- , gument during the first half and the ball was in Decatur territory during most of that time. Numerous penalities for off-sides probably kept the visitors from scoring sooner than they did. In the second half, the Decatur line begun to hold off the charges of the visiting wall and the Yellow Jacket backfield begun functioning. Miller ran the ends like a veteran and Acker. Captain Breiner and Swear-, inger tore through the line for big gains. Late in the last quarter Miller broke away for a sensational 55yjrd run through the entire Hicksville team, being downed by the visitors’ safety man on the four-yard line. Miller carried the ball over the goal on the next play. Decatur’s other touchdown came a few minutes before Miller’s long run, when Rex blocked a Hicksville punt behind the goal line and then fell on the hall. Only one substitution was made during the game. Shrider relieving Captain Smith of Hicksville late in the game. Hicksville kioked off to Decatur.

H r. x K n k K What Is The Neurocalometer? One of the recent contributions to the world is the “Neurocalometer.” A description of this remarkable instrument is given below:

The “Neurocalometer," a highly sensitive instrument for locating spinal trouble by beat varfations. the product of four years’ research by Dr. B. J. Palmer and Dr. D. D. Evins of The Palmer School of (,’hiropractic. has taken the Chiropractic world by storm. The demonstration of the invention at clinics and at the United States bureau of standards at Washington has created a sensation as did the exhibition of A exander Graham Bell’s telephone at the Philadelphia Centennial exposition in 1876. Laboratory work and experimenta- , lion on the new device was begun in * 1920 by Dr. Evins, who is a graduate of The Palmer Schoo’.. The invention. in an embryo stage, was brought to the attention of Dr. Palmer in April of last year and both he and Dr. Evins combined their efforts in perfecting the new instrument, which they called the ‘'Neurocalometer.” Neurocalometer is a compound word which is explained by “neuro,” a prefix meaning nerve; “ca'o” from the Latin name for heat; and “meter” which means recorder or measurer. The instrument is a simple and efficient looking machine about the size of a portable typewriter. It bears a single glass dial and indicator arm which moves from left to right from a position at zero. It is adjusted to register variations in heat of 1-lOOth of a degree centigrade. Based on Hypothesis “The Neurocalometer,” stated Dr. Palmer in discussing the invention, “is based on several' fundamental facts in the theory of Chiropractic. Chiropractic rests broadly on four premises. We believe that disease can be traced to subluxations of the vertebrae, to nerve pressure and to barriers in nerve transmission. A snbhixated vertebrae is one partially dislocated—‘sub’ because the dislocation is a minor one or is incomplete. A pressure on a nerve center causes a positive barrier and a negative nerve transmission, which we seek to remove by an adjustment of the subvixated part, in order to bring about a negative pressure and a positive transmission of nerve messages. , When electric wires are pressing against one another ve have what might be called a short circuit or a hotbox,” explained Dr. Palmer. “The same thing occurs when vertebrae are subluxated, inflammation and

heat being produced at these points of resistence. The purpose of the Neurocalometer is in being able to detect these minute differences in heat created by crossed nerves and recording them." Detector is Secret The secret part of the Neurocn'ometer is the detector which picks up heat fluctuations as it is applied at points along the spinal column The detector is a small, two branched instrument, having a left and right, and attached to the main recording box with a fire cord. The left and right on the detector correspond to the left and right sides of the galvanometer scale By noting the readings on the Neurocalometer on a chart while examining a patient, the chiropractor has a definite record of the subluxations of different segments of the backbone. These he proceeds by adjustment to reduce to zero. A zero reading for all the vertebrae clearly ind cates a perfectly normal spinal column. The new invention, which bids fair to revolutionize Chiropractic, is unbelievably sensitive. The indicator will register the presence of a hand near the detector when nearly a foot away. Cigar smoke will drive the ind. eating arm into a panic although the lighted cigar is three feet away. The detector will record the heat of one s breath when about eight inches from the mouth. To touch the right pole of the detector sends the indicator abruptly to the right, and the same to the left hand side. Is Not Electrical Although the instrument has a Westinghouse appearance, it is not an electrical device, nor is it operated by electricity. It is a self-generating heat-recording device, indicating at differences on a galvanometer. What the mechanism and motive power is have been as closely guarded as the secret contraction of the Freni h “75’5.” , When the Neurocalometer was firs, presented to Chiroprartic. tests were made by the United States bureau of standards at Washington and the report was returned by experts that i accurately registered thermal differences of l-100th of a degree centi grade. Dr. B. J. Palmer has now applied for six patents on the invention in 17 countries. All are now pending.
