‘SURGEON EASES "SOLDIER HEART’

Operations on Sympathetic Nervous System Slow Fear Mechanism. CLEVELAND, Oct, 11 (U. P.).—

“Soldier's heart,” a disease which].

involves the precise mechanism that executes fear, flight and fight,” has been treated successfully by operations on the sympathetic nervous System, Brig. Gen. George Crile, noted Cleveland surgeon, reported yesterday.

He told the Association of mili- - tary Surgeons of the United States that the treatment had been a success in 119 out of 127 cases of neurocirculatory asthenia, known popularly as “soldier's heart.” . The paper was prepared by Dr. Crile and Dr. E. P. McCullagh, of the Cleveland Clinic.

Symptoms Related Symptoms of the disease, he reported, include a rapid heart beat, nervousness, restlessness, flushing and pallor, sweating and coldness of the hands and feet. It appears only in “civilized man,” but is common among civilians as well ag soldiers, he added. “It it not seen in wild or domestic animals or in native man,” Dr. Crile said. “It does not occur in morons or other mental defectives. It is seen only among the highly evolved human beings who owe their civilization to the unique |development of the thinking brain, the thyroid gland, the adrenal glands, the celtic ganglion and the rest of the sympathetic system—in short, to the mechanism that expresses intelligence, power and personality.

COTTAGE USED AS MODEL HOME

Home Economics Teacher Salvaged House Four Years Ago.

By EARL HOFF

Now that their fame has simmered a little, girls in the Broad Ripple High School home economics department are able to go about class work without distinguished visitors constantly popping their heads into the Homemaking Cottage. But curious folks still show up occasionally and ask student hostesses to show them through the first project of its kind in the state. - The reason is that the idea of class work being conducted in a house is intriguing.

Got It 4 Years Ago Broad Ripple acquired the Home-

making Cottage four years ago when

ground for an athletic field was purchased. The little, gray cottage was directly back of the school building. School officials had planned to raze the structure but Mrs. Stella Richardson, who teaches home eco-

i nomics, had different ideas.

She had seen schools on the West Coast where home economics was taught in practices houses. Such environment was valuable, she argued. She won her point. The cottage stayed. In the large kitchen in the rear, girls work at five cooking units, one of them electrical. In a small room to the side another group tries its skill in a [complete apartment kitchen. In the groups, the girls take turns at being the “head of the family.”

Has Model Dining Room

They have a model dining room where the School Board and other dignitaries are guests to test the girls’ culinary and serving ability. And there’s no leaving spilled food on floors for the janitor to clean up. The cottage is more than class= rooms for the girls; it’s their “home.” ’ The girls in clothing classes, under Miss Elizabeth Johnson, have two large front rooms equipped with tables and chairs and a model bedroom. In the bedroom, the girls plan arrangement of furniture and color motif. One of the first things this semester's group will do when it gets to room arrangement will be to get rid of blue curtains girls put up last year in the bookcase.

The Budget Intervened

Last year’s group was disappointed just as soon as they saw the results, but their practical budget wouldn’t allow them to throw away

g: curtains they had just purchased.

“You can’t learn things like that in ordinary class rooms,” Mrs. Richardson said. Besides class work, the cottage is used for girls’ club meetings and

. | “cozy hour” gatherings of freshman

+ | girls around the front room fire- : [place to hear talks and see demon-

g<: | tsrations of clothing.
