New Help For Brain Injuries

| By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. r A THIN film of gelatin Is now *plnch-hitting” for | tissues destroyed in certain brain Injuries. These tissues lie between the skull and the brain itself. Three delicate layers, the meninges, normally cover the brain and protect it against Injury. In brain' operations, many times It Is necessary to destroy part of the outermost layer, known as the dura. This also happens in severe brain and head injuries. The brain surgeon then has the problem of replacing this necessary tissue over the brain. Most Cause Adhesions Many substances have been used, Including metals and pieces of animal membrane. Most of these substances cause adhesions and scar tissue to form around the brain, which can later lead to severe complications—headaches, convulsions, and discomfort throughout the head. Recently, a fairly Inexpensive substance, similar to gelatin, has i proved to be an excellent substitute for the lost dura. It has been found that a film of this gelatin ; j over the injury will last long enough to promote normal heals j Ing of the damaged tissue. It usu* I ally takes about eighty or ninety

a speedy recovery. We miss her fohner weekly calls at the Daily Democrat, with her stories of club activities and we know that her large Circle of friends miss her too. | o o—— Walter Geller:— i The untimely death Friday of Walter Geller, Fort Wayne, brings )' to mind Decatur high school bhsk-i etball of two decades ago. Geller was one of the best basketball of- I fieials ever to work a basketball game here. He was always fair; and at all, times had <»omplete control of the game. He was a great athlete In his own name and 30 years ago was a star basketball and football player. Lhter he officiated many' important high school and professional basketball games in northern Indiana, For the last 20 years he has been part owner of the Main Auto Supply Co. at Fort Wayne. Earl Black- , burn, well known Decatur sports ' critic, once said of Geller: ; “lie Isn’t liked by a good basketball because when he officiates, he is the boss and he's perhaps a little too Geller’s ideal be suhimed up in a few words: \ “Play hard but play fair.” > His. many friends in athlietic and business circles in northejast- ■" ■ ■ \ -i 'I G ern Indiana will miss, him. | Lets Try Harder:— City and state officials have i| given a lot of thought and study to p the Decatur traffic problem. Simi- q lar problems are arising in.every btisy city in Indiana. Apparently the traffic changes and removal of several parking meters near the Monroe and Second street intersection to speed traffic j are worthy \of a thorough test. iWe hare ahother serious and aggravating problem, which it seems could be removed if the city pnd state ordinances are enforced. Many delivery trucks stop daily at various stores in Decatur. Drivers of these trucks apparently I have no desire ttb assist in the orderly flow of traffic. Drivers of delivery trucks daily double park; park on the wrong . side of the street; block alleys .and s\mt off visiptr at street inter- ; sections. They ■ apparently feel that they are immune fropi; arrest. . Many of them even insult owners of automobiles whom they have blocked in at streets and !| alleys. When these delivery men ; have completed their job at ideal Stores they jump into their truck’s, and whiz away without looking in i any direction. A few arresls | height cure this nasty practice in ’ a hurry. s

days before the film breaks down and is completely absorbed, and by this time the body has replaced it with normal/ healthy dura tissue. \ 4 > f Little Scarring This type of gelatin does not irritate the body tissues and therefore produces little scarring. This means there is little danger of prolonged headaches and convulsions. ' ! j Many of the other substances which have been used to replace the dura have been very expensive, and had the added disadvantage that they could not be kept tn good condition for a long time. The new substance, however;; is cheap, and gives us no Important storage problems. It seems likely that brain surgeons will find this method a great boon in their fight against head injuries. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A. G.: Since I have read about feeding hormones to animals in order to make them fatter, I am \ Worried that eating animals that \ have been given hormones may affect me. Is there any danger of this? Answer: It is not likely that you will consume enough meat from animals so treated to cause ybu any difficulty. , ..j

Woman Overcome By Heat, Wrecks Auto Apparently having been overcome by the heat Sunday after* noon, Myrtle J. Miller, 51, of Jersey City, N. “J., lost control of her auto which crashed intb an hbutment on route 224 two miles east of Decatur, and caught fire. Some unidentified bbys pulled the woman out of the burning wrfeck and called the police. The fire department was called and had the blaze that completely gutted the car extinguished in a short time. Later, at the hospital, the attending physician said that the woman was suffering mostly from shock. She also had a minor chest injury and cuts about the lips. She is described as being in “fair Oats Demonstration Meeting On July 16 An oats variety demonstration meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. July 16 on the Joe L. Isch farm in French township.

CHAPTER ONE ONE bright and windy autumn afternoon, Mr. Nicholas Olmsted was being conveyed uptown tn a Madison Avenue bus, which was unremarkable as many people were similarly employed. However, this particular vehicle was hot overcrowded, for it was not yet four o'clock. The bus shook itself preparatory to coming to a wheezy halt. Just before it stopped, Mr. Olmsted glanced from his window and saw, among those pedestrians gathered at the side-street crossing, a familiar figure, that of a man, distinguished oy his unusual height, and somewhat leaning forward as if straining at the leash of traffic regulations. Mr. Olmsted smiled. It was unlike Paul Lennox so to mistime his long stride, and thus be checked sharply at the side street by a light. Paul was the pastor of the church in which Mr. 8 01 mated served as senior deacon. The bus shuddered, the light changed, the bus moved ponderously ahead. Monday is normally a free day for many clergymen; as free, that is, as they elect to make it. But Paul had already attended two committee meetings, lunched with a retired naval officer under whom he had served some years back, and was now walking briskly uptown to keep ah appointment with another of his parishioners. . . one whom, incidentally, Mr. Olmsted greatly disliked, although he had long striven to conquer, this unchristian sentiment, for practical as well as ethical reasons. For in the days prior to his retirement he had come intimately into contact with Mrs. James Murchison, whose substantial affairs were handled by the great bank of which Mr. Olmsted had besn a vice-presi-dent. It was significant that no one ever said of Agatha Murchison ... "but she means well.” No, 1 they said, "she. does a great deal of good, but .■ . ." Mr. Olmsted had said it himself, untold times. \ Nor was Paul Lennox thinking of Mrs. Murchison, the lady toward whom he hastened, committed to accept a cup of tea from her hands, to listen to her acid comments, and to learn whether or not she had decided to give him a sum. of money earmarked for alterations u p o n the g y m b a s i u m. Neither did he think of the gymnasium, although It would have been logical, as his left eye somewhat pained him, a sensation directly due to a stop he had made there after luncheon. That the eye was beginning to discolor would be evident to anyone who cared to look closely, and up. Several pass-ers-by, Who knew him by sight, did so and then turned to regard his unrewarding back. But he was a -man many paused to contemplate for he stood six feet three. The MUrchison house was between Madison and Park Avenues, a tall, narrow, disdainful structure, huddled between apartment houses. It peered from behind, outmoded

lace curtains and dark, heavy draperies, with an effect of withdrawal arid resentment. Aylmer,; a thin, harried Englishman, admitted him and escorted Paul to the drawing room in which he would Await Agatha’s entrance. And there he waited, with the uneasiness, almost claustrophobic, with which this room inspired him, which he Could not conquer, often as ne nad been in it. He heard a sound on the stairs and rose,; 1 aware that it did not herald his hostess, a tig, . heavy wo m a uncompromisingly Corseted. For this was a lighter step, with the sound of flight in it. And therefore that of Agatha’s companion, Miss Marrow, who had occupied her position for, Paul's predecessor had once told him, almost twenty, incredible years. She came around the archway from the hall With her habitual uncertainty, looking at Paul from behind misty bifocals, slightly out of alignment. She had of course been sent downstairs to keep him company until Agatha came, but it was evident that she would not believe the caller only Agatha’s pastor until she saw for herself. He felt that her general attitude l deserved capital letters. Miss Marrow always Feared The Worst.’ But now her dry, small face altered, and tremulously smiled, and she offered a dry, small hand to Paul, and returned his greeting almost inaudibly. "Mrs. Murchison will be right down,” said Miss Marrow, fluttering and settling herself in a Singularly uncomfortable chair, much too big for her diminutive person. It was difficult exactly to classify in what capacity Miss Marrow functioned here. She did not run the house nor the barnlike mpnstrosity near Stockbridge, she did not draw the -checks. That she made and answered telephone caps and wrote letters in beautiful longhand for her employer, Paul knew. Presumably she fetched and carried, and accompanied Agatha on trips and, from her conversation, spmetimes to opera or the theater. She was often present at table when Agatha entertained at lunch or dinner; but not always. \‘ V Agatha thundered down the stairs, entered the room like a tempest, and Miss Marrow, who for the last few minutes had felt approximately like a human, being, at once began to wither. Agatha, sweeping in, held out her hands and said, in her booming voice, "My dear Paul, how pleasant to see you even if you come only for money!” Miss Marrow shivered but Paul smiled. He replied, absurdly grateful that he could look down upon Agatha’s large, badly dyed head as they stood together. “Am I expected to resent that crack, Mrs. Murchison?” [ „ She said, “In my time clergymen did not use slang. But times have changed, more’s the pity. The question is, why? And, ne, you aren’t’'expected to resent anything. Turn the other cheek, Paul. Which

Give me time to make it a good one.” Agatha Waved him to a chair and herself sat down,\ with sighing and heaving, upon a love seat and tn front of the Swedish coffee table. She spoke m Miss Marrow’ 3 direction saying, “You may remain for tea, Emily,” and Miss Marrow, who, together with Paul, had risen at Agatha’s approach, lowered herself gingerly into the embrace of a Victorian armchair, carved, with bruising grapes. “Well,” said Agatha testily, when 'Emily was seated, "ring tor tea, Emily, do.” Which meant that Miss Marrow must, rise again. Agatha turned to Paul. "Have you had time enough to manufacture a story around your eye?" ! "No. So I’ll tell the truth, which Is not very interesting. 1 stopped at the gym after lunch. Some of the kids were there, just out of school, and larruping the punching bag. 1 offered instructions. All went well until Hank Fanning came in...” Mr. Fanning was director of rcligioils education for the Central Church, and Agatha .said austerely, “Who nicknamed him Hank?” “His parents, 1 believe,” said Paul. ‘Tn any event, as you know, he is as tall as L Taller, perhaps. 1 forgot to duck.” "In ;my day,” said Agatha, “ministers of the gospel did -not go about with black eyes, unless caused by an accident.” !■ “I assure you,” said Paul, "it Was an accident.” Alymer created a diversion by staggering in with an enormous tea service on a heavy Victorian silver tray. He lowered it to the coffee table and Paul looked upon multitudinous pots and canisters of metal and porcelain, while Agatha, rattling Spode cups, inquired, "China, Assam or Pekoe?" He bespoke Assam, a strong, flavorful brew of which he felt in need. There was no sense, he told himself, as he said, "Yes, one lump and a little milk, thank you," in feeling, if not nervous, close to it. Agatha had kept them waiting before this; but he had no doubt that- the check would be forthcoming when she tired of keeping him tn ‘suspense. But that he was edgy could not be denied; partly due to the tiresome business of the money, partly to his compassion for Emily Marrow, but mainly because in a short time he would see Connie. Aylmer returned with thin sandwiches and minute, stick cakes, to which Paul helped hirhself frugally, and when Agatha remonstrated, said, "I’d like to—, as it happens, I’m hungry, but I have a dinner engagement.” "Anyone I know?” asked Agatha, Who operated on the theory that if you don’t ask you’ll never find out; and sometimes not even then, people were so secretive. "Yes. Constance Marshall,” ! (Th Be Continued) ’ -r- r -f-

(UP) — Shy, blue-eyed Armi Knus'ela. erdwned the “most beautiful, woman in the world” at the Miss Universe contest here, was torp today between the urge to become a film star and her mother’s pleas to come home.

Miss Knusela was in nd position to say yes or no. “I must have more time to tliipk, it’s so hard to say. how I feel. I think the Finnish people would like it if I go to Hollywood.
