A new method decreasing materially the burns which dangerous lave long been a hazard in the treatment of cancer and other malignant growths by these piercing radiations was described beof X-r- ay fore Tests on Dogs Reveal Their Dual Function o nounced to the New York Academy of Sciences here by Dr. Luden A. Brouha of the University of Liege, Belgium. Discovered st the University of Ghent tn 1034 by Jounlan and Nowak, the tiny fibers have remained pretty mnch of s mystery to science, the fact known about them being their position alongside the vagi nerves which run from the brain to the heart and which serve to retard the cardiac only-defini- beat Even now. Doctor Brouha explained, little la known of their function In the normal body but In dogs whose sympathetic nervous system has been removed, these new nerve fillers take Its place. Indeed, so successfully do they substitute for the missing nerves that Doctor Brouha finds It absolutely Impossible to distinguish s normal dog from one without Its sympathetic system. How Dogs Raact It was the ability of the new nerves to replace the sympathetic system In dogs that led Doctor Brouha to his conclusion concerning the possible function of the nerves as s substitute for the removed system. In the normal body, he believes, the nerves may aid heart regulation to a very small extent, although he said that In all probability they have additional functions as yet undiscovered by science. In research leading to these results. Doctor Brouha conducted pioneer treadmill tests on dogs both before and after removal of the sympathetic system. The experiments were performed In with Dr. David B. Dill of the Harvard University Fatigue laboratory where Doctor Brouha Is carry Ing on his Investigations this year. Outstanding among his finds were that the general behavior of a dog whose sympathetic chains have been removed remains normal, although the heart beat of the animal at rest is slightly less than normal, and that emotional excitement produces the usual definite cardiac acceleration. Substitute for Regular Nerves. Another Important find was that the capacity to stand very Intense exercise la not at all diminished three months after the removal operation, that time being necessary for the dog to recover from the operation. Experimentally checking the possible Influence of a rise In body temperature or muscular metobollsm. Doctor Brouha found that they are definitely not responsible for the accelerated heart bent Nor are adrenalin or sym pathin, for with the removal of the sympathetic system, these hormones are not secreted Into the blood stream 10,000 Sterilizations in California PASADENA. Over 10,000 human sterilization operations 10,801, to be exact have been performed la accordance with the California state sterilization law, E. S. Gosney, president of the Human Betterment Foundation here, announced after compiling the 1935 figures. These operations, Ur. Gosney pointed out, were performed on Inmates of state institutions since 1909. Neither the figures nor the California sterlllza tion law have any connection with privately performed sterilization operations such as the one now figuring In the Ann Cooper Ilewltt law suit Discussing the sterilization law for Inmates of state institutions, Ur. Gosney said: The consistently careful administration of this measure In California Is reflected by the fact that during the first six years of the enforcement of the law, sterilizations per year la creased from 11 to 116 ; total 577 yearly average, DO. During the last 20 years they have gradually Increased from 1S2 in 1010 to 870 In 1933. New Sky Wanderer Found by Belgian PRINCETON. Quantitative measurements on the ears of guinea pigs show the animal ear to be far more effective microphone than those constructed mechanically, according to the announcement of Profs. Ernest G. Wever and Charles V. Bray, of the Princeton University Department of Psychology. Sninll currents arising In the cochlea of the Inner ear and measured on an oscillograph provide an accurate measurement of the response of the animal to sound, and the results of recent experiments show that the animal Is capable of responding to tones of a wide range of frequencies, even though these tones be quite faint, whereas It n Is a fact that mechanical microphones must sacrifice either sensitivity or range. That this electrical method of measuring sound effect Is accurate was determined several years ago when the small currents were amplified about half ft million times and run Into a telephone receiver.

Doctor Fallla, lung known In this ountry for his basic contributions to medical therapy, told how he Is now cutting out much of the electrons which are an essential part of any beam. It Is these charged pnrtk-leof electricity which actually split apart the atoms if the skin and produce loulzstlon In them.

How New Method Worka. Doctor Faille's new method takes advantage of the fact that when electrons strike matter they are deflected at large angles. By setting np s system of baffles or stops beam of containing only the desired gamma rty type of radiation can be attained. The deflected electrons era caught by the baffles.
