...field of technical research interesting experiments have been tarried on with the x-ray under the direction of Mr. Alan Burrougas, Curator of Paintings of the Minneapolis institute of Arts, with a grant from the Milton Fund for Research. To quote from Mr. Burroughs' report to the Director, these experiments show that the x-ray has developed into a valuable addition to the expert's equipment for judging the antiqritv or genuineness of paintings more than 100 years old, or for estimating in some cases the evidence of authorship on more tangible grounds than style and feeling. This development involves...
This Baker is not to be confused with Ray Stannard Baker, doctrinaire commentator, historian and propagandist of Woodrow Wilson. Nor is he like Newton D. He would never have had the patience-even granting the mental ability-to acquire Newton D.'s learning, trained wit. Nor could he, like Newton D., have spent nearly all his life in one state. Raymond T. Baker is one who craves excitement glorified by achievement...
...experimenting with the X-ray row and hope to reach definite conclusions this summer. If we are successful a sure way of detecting forgeries in the old and supposedly valuable pictures. This will eliminate the current doubt and expense, which is so deleterious to collectors and experts today. Another great question, whose ghost our experiments if successful would lay is as to whether or not it is worth while to clean old and retouched pictures...
...female such blocking off is very difficult, practically impossible. Yet results comparable to those from the Steinach operation on men have been obtained for women by use of the Xray. The X-ray is extremely penetrating, throws shadows of the anatomy on suitably placed photographic films, which the physician may study for better diagnosis. To get such a photograph the patient is exposed to the rays for only some seconds. Prolonged exposure causes. destruction of tissue. So this latter phenomenon physicians use to devitalize cancerous growths-and on the ovaries to bring on artificial menopause...
...theorized, would slow up or stop the ova production of a patient and at the same time permit the continued creation of the sex hormones, stimulate the women. In the U. S. Dr. Harry Benjamin cautiously put this theory to practice. He uses a stimulation dose of X-ray one-seventh to one-tenth as strong as needed to produce erythema (redness). His conservative decision was that moderate, carefully regulated exposures of the ovarian sites to the X-rays induced good body and mental tone and vigor...
