Telephones rang in the sanatoria and hospitals of Tucson, Ariz, last week. St. Mary's Hospital was calling: "Have you an extra oxygen tent? We have a 12-year-old boy here who's failing. . . . Operation for mastoid.'' Not one extra tent was there in all the dozen institutions. Patten Levings, son of the city editor of the Los Angeles Evening Herald & Express, would have to die for lack of oxygen-rich...
...Bing ham), stepfather, and doctors. The girl could do without the apparatus. But there might be a relapse. Could a plane bring in extra equipment in time? Probably. From where? New York City, 2.200 miles away. Instead of a tent it would be wise to get a complete oxygen chamber. Miss Hilliard's bed could be placed inside. She would be more comfortable than under a tent...
...death. No satisfactory explanation of the tragedy was ever reached; but many onlookers, including David S. Ingalls, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics, suspected carbon monoxide. The same hazard-odorless, colorless CO gas from the engine exhaust, soaking into the pilot's blood until lack of oxygen overcomes his senses-may have caused many another unexplained crash. Secretary Ingalls soon put in motion a thorough study of the hazard by the Bureau of Medicine & Surgery and the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics...
...plant built at Deepwater, N. J. to manufacture rt commercially. Since it needs only acetylene, salt and water, it will not be expensive to make. Duprene looks like natural rubber, shows the same molecular makeup in xray, but is denser, more resistant to water absorption, to attacks by ozone, oxygen and other chemicals, to swelling by gasoline & kerosene. It is vulcanized by heat alone, without sulphur. At high temperatures it hardens slowly. Its powers of resistance are expected to give it many commercial uses now denied to rubber, but so far it has not been produced in a form sufficiently...
...heart pumps blood into the arteries normally 72 times a minute. The blood pulsates through the arteries to tiny arterioles, whence it seeps into capillaries. From the capillaries the blood seeps into minute venules, then flows through the veins back to the heart. On the way the blood delivers oxygen to the body cells and picks up carbon dioxide and other waste products. The polluted venous blood which the heart receives it drives into the lungs. The lungs remove carbon dioxide from the blood, add fresh oxygen. Then the blood goes back to the heart for further circulation. Valves...
