mm ' *mr ** w p '.mm* • • SCIENTISTS ARE AIDED BY NEW ELECTROOBOT Device Given Extensive Test by Professor at Princeton. Hu Science Service PRINCETON. N. J., Nov. 19. Much of the wearisome, routine, mldnight-01l work that now besets biologists and other scientists will be taken off their hands by anew electrical robot described at the meeting of the National Academy of Sciences here today. The device is the invention of A. L. Loomis, banker-scientist, of Tuxedo Park, N. Y„ and has been given its first extensive workout by Professor E. N. Harvey of Princeton university. The mechanism Is intended for the recording of a natural rhythms, such as breathing, beating of a heart, or rapid impulses along a nerve trunk. It is geared in such a way that ten successive beats are recorded by a straight line drawn up a pen, the length of the line indicating the time of the action. Then the pen goes back to the zero line and starts recording another ten beats, on a line parallel with the first. Used in Three Experiments The instrument will keep this up for hours or days on end, so long as ink, recording paper, and the pulsating animal or organ hold out In the meantime the scientist, who used to have to sit and watch his experiment through many weary hours can lecture to his classes, or play golf, or go home to bed. Professor Harvey has made use of the new chronograph in three series of experiments, one on a rhythmically flashing neon lamp, another with human subjects tapping a telegraph key, and the third and most extensive with the isolated heart of a turtle. The flashing of the lamp, a purely physical process, did not vary 1 per cent during four hours. The Infinitely more complicated and variable human mechanism, as was expected, showed fluctuations of as much as 20 to 30 per cent in fifteen minutes. The turtle’s heart was selected because it keeps on beating indefinitely after the animal has been killed and it has been taken out of the body. Kept at a constant temperature in a physiological solution, it continued to beat, in one of the experiments, for thirty-six hours.

Show Wide Variations It was learned that individual hearts show wide individual variations. One slowed 60 per cent dur‘ng a twelve-hour period, while another varied less than 2 nor rant over nearly five hours, and less than 1 per cent over half-hour periods. There are commonly periodic changes in rhythm superposed on the heart beats. A heart may show a S per cent decrease in rate, lasting three minutes, every twenty minutes for four such periods, or similar 3 to 4 per cent increases in rate lasting a few minutes for three fifteen-minute periods. After learning something of the performance of the “uormal” isolated heart, the effect of drugs can be studied. When adrenalin is added to the solution containing a heart it accelerates the action of the muscles and at the same time makes A hem operate more regularly. The thirty-six-hour record for one of these hearts was obtained by means of adrenalin treatment. ACCUSED BROKER IS ILL Charged With Hiding Shortage Chicago Realtor Breaksdown.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BLAME SENATE FOR SOUTHERN TEXTILEDEATHS A. F. of L. Disclaims All Responsibility for Strike Rioting. Bu Scripps-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Deaths and disorders in the textile industry of the south were blamed upon the senate today, as the American Federation of Labor launched its organized movement to unionize workers there. The drive began with the federation disclaiming any responsibility for what has occurred and criticizing the senate for its failure to act upon the Wheeler resolution, authorizing a senatorial investigation of the strikes and conditions causing them. A declaration of principles was adopted at a meeting Sunday of representatives of 105 national and international unions, which was presided over by President William Green. Every facility that organized labor could place in the hands of the United Textile Workers’ Union for organization purposes was voted unanimously. Probe Was Asked “The American Federation of Labor very quickly realized the seriousness of the situation,” the declaration stated, “and immediately appealed to the senate of the United States to institute an investigation of the textile industry in the south and to make the result of such investigation public.” It recited that a resolution was introduced last April by Senator Wheeler providing for the inquiry but “because of strong opposition from southern mill owners and some southern senators no action, thus far, has been taken.” A policy with five planks was adopted to carry out the unionization program as follows: First—That the federation call upon the senate to adopt the Wheeler resolution to investigate the textile industry in order to arouse public opinion and provide justice for the workers.

All Unions To Aid Second—That all national and international unions pledge themselves to provide at least one organizer and as many additional as possible to assist the textile workers’ union, thirty days being allowed to accomplish this. Third—That unions in the south give all help possible. Fourth—That all unions contribute to a vast fund to carry on the work. Fifth—That the federation call upon the responsible and legal authorities of North Carolina to bring to justice those who are responsible for the loss of human life in that state. Before the declaration was adopted Green spoke pledging his personal assistance in the campaign. “I’ll go into the south. I’ll carry the message to the people of the south. I’ll speak for organized labor and I’ll challenge them to meet us and work with us,” Green said.

MEXICAN COURT BACKS RUBIO AS NEW PRESIDENT Defeated Candidate Said to Be Fleeing Country in Disguise. BY GESFORD F. FINE, Vnited Press Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, Nov. 19.—The Mexican supreme court has supported Pascual Ortiz Rubio’s claims of a landslide victory in Sunday’s bloody presidential elections and a gradual return to normal conditions was being effected today. The country still seethed with charges of fraud, brought by supporters of the defeated anti-re-eicvhonist candidate, Jose Vasconcelos, but in diminishing volume. The supreme court’s vote was 7 to 6 against anti-re-electionist petition for an investigation of the election and Ortiz Rubio went ahead with preparations for his inauguration on Feb. 5. There was no confirmation of widely circulated reports that Vasconcelos was in danger of his life and was attempting to flee Mexico for the United States. A dispatch to La Prensa said that the defeated presidential candidate arrived in Guaymas, state of Sonera, Monday night and was greeted by a large number of his partisans. The dispatch stated he expected to remain there several days, but made no mention of the report from Nogales, Sonora, that soldiers had searched a train for Vasconcelos at Hermosilla and that he was seeking to escape the country in disguise. Deaths during widespread riots Sunday mounted to twen'y-one with the possibility the toll might reach twenty-five when a thorough check was completed. Nine were killed in the capital during three riots. The principal one of which occurred at the anti-re-electionist headquarters. Six were killed in Vera Cruz. Twenty were injured in Mexico City. Ortiz Rubio’s national revolutionary followers claimed he had polled more than 1,000,000 votes. Official returns will not be completed until Thursday and will not be presented to congress until December.

ELEVEN HEALTHY BOYS AND GIRLS Black-Draught Used In the Home of a Large Georgia Family. “I have seven girls and four boys, and all of them are healthy,” says Mr. William M. Marlow, of 2 Buena Vista Street, Winder, Ga. “All during our married life, Thedford’s Black-Draught has been our stand-by. We found in the beginning that it was good for colds and children’s ailments. If the children come home from school complaining, we give them BlackDraught and very soon they are out playing. "I have used Black-Draught for twenty years. I suffered from indigestion and tightness in my chest. Black-Draught, a pinch after meals, seemed to stop me from having indigestion. “I also took Black-Draught for biliousness and dizziness. It always does me good. If my eyes burn and my tongue gets coated, or I have a bad taste in my mouth, I take a few doses of Black-Draught and soon feel like new.” Good for children, grown men and women, and those of advanced age. Easy to take —no disagreeable aftereffects. In 25-cent packages.
