The employees of the Consolidated
Has Company who go whizzing around
tb.e streets on the blK red emergency
wagons have added to their rexular rlu-
tles""tttoro of fP savers and there are I
nine of them who nre showing to their I
friends $10 gold pieces, uwatds of meritj
rtom the company for the work they1
have done with the pulmotor. I
This new machine for brlngin back
the despondent who on dark, rainy
afternoons take down the gas tubes has
now been in operation In this city long
enough to determine its practical value.
Ambulance doctors, who have had .
mot to do with the pulmotor. are en-
tluislnstlc over its life saving capacity.
Or. Vernon Olor of the Polyclinic Hos-1
pltal says that it Is one of tho most
effective mnchliies he lias ever seen at j
restoring thoM seemingly beyond hope. i
In addition to the pulmotor tho em
ployees of the gas company are learning j
what I known as the Schaefer prono
pressure methiKl of restoring to con
srlotisneys thoo overcome by gns,
Hugh Campbell and Robert Mc.Vamara,
two emergency men. both have, gold
pieces tliey won for wot k over John
Brlckwedell. it tenant of an-apartment
at West 124th street, who was
found unconscious on the floor In the
gas tilled parlor at that address.
The two emergency men succeeded
by the use of tho new method in re
storing the man before an ambulance
surgeon arrived.
The method consists In placing tho
subject on the floor with his face down.
The operator then stands over the pa
tient. The faro is turned to the side
and the subject's ehest Is lifted up and
down while pressure is applied under!
the armpits and air forced In and out
of tho lungs.
Colin C. Simpson, general superin
tendent of the gas rnmpany'n depart
ment of mains and services, was instru
mental In Introdui ing the pulmotor Into
active woik In this eltj. lie mys that
when there is any possibility of saving
life the company Is willing to send an
emergency wagon nnd an operator.
The company has now four pulmotors
In service
The tlr.M prar'lcal test of tho pul
motor came on the afternoon of .Vo.
'enihor 7 lart, when a woman was
Irmight to the Flower Hospit.il on
(onscloiis and In the a.t stages of
gas asphyxiation. Frederick W's
slneer was foremm of tho rew of the
emergepoy wagon that came with tho
machine.
The p.nicnt -n-as not nr'athln? when
Ilio nuichln arrived and her pulse had
stopped WlrelnKor tried to r'hiw thn
doctors how to operate the new device,
hut as they did not understand it
working ho took hold himself. In about
ten minutes ho had tho woman re
;tored to consciousness.
Tho physicians watched with Interest
ns tho pulmotor, working in an almost
human manner, pumped out gas and
forced fresh air Into the patient's
lungs. Wiswlncer and two of the crew,
I.ouls IMhlman and Stephen Crean,
worn rowirded for their work.
.lohn Cusmanlck was tlm ne.vt of the
company's emergency men to l re
warded. On November 13 last he re
sponded to a ivill sent In by Dr. Dior,
who had boon working oyer a man
overcome by pan on West Forty-sixth
street. Working with the doctor for
twenty-five minutes Ciisminlck brought
tho patient around. Five days later
Dr. Oler had another gas earn on West
Forty-seventh" street. Again he sent
for tho pulmotor and again tho pa
tient recovered.
Dr. Pilchard of tho Presbyterian
Hoapltal was the next to try the ma
chine, for a ca.se on Kant Slxty-wecond
street. This time Emergency Man
Frank Cavanagh aftor twenty minutes
work saved the llfo of a man who hud
been unconscious for a long time. Of
tho cases on record where tho pulmotor
has failed life had heon long extinct
and the bodies were cold when the pul
motor arrived.
Tho miichlnes are at the disposal of
any physician for resuscitating is-rsons
oorcomn by gases, acid or smoko
fumes or electric shrieks. The four

Tills gang, members of the l'nlted

The Federal authorities hnvo been

several women who. It was thought,

gang hut who were so terrilied b Us
inemoers mat they were afraid to talk.
Two months ago Cupt. Tracy of the
Paterson detectives arrested ii woman
natnul Mary Morrow for the second

Capt. Tacy that she hud ieen forced
to give to a man to ercupo rroni
a Jail sentence. She complained that
sho was paying this mini 3u a week

The matter was turned over to the
Federal authorities, and Special Agent

Morrow woman lived nt 39 Straight

thnt she was paying the money to 111

with the gang which met ut S?3 Mott
street.
, While he was looking f. evidence
against ltlhurfo tho Morrow woman

mate of a resort. She said Hlbuffo had
helped bring her from respectable sur
roundings In New York to Paterson.
The Orcoo woman said that she had
ran a Nmrdlng housn in New York,
when she met people- who began to
bring pressure to bear on her to go to
Paterson and take up that life.
She shjs Filasto mot her and tried

IN THE recent trend towards American fashions
for American women, the question of their suc
cessful acceptance by women has been raised.
Three years ago The Ladies' Home Journal de
cided to adopt and design American fashions in
women's clothes. During that time it conducted
an extensive advertising campaign, almost entirely
descriptive of its American fashions, to find out defi
nitely whether the American women had sufficient
interest in the matter. When the magazine began
this American fashion advertising campaign it had a
circulation of 1,500000 copies. Of its last issue it
printed and oversold its entire edition of 1,760,000
copies. The direct retyjrns of its American fashion
advertising campaign alone were over 250,000
copies, the largest circulation increase ever made
by the magazine in an advertising campaign during
a corresponding period.
Since this advertising, over a year ago, it has held
every copy of this circulation, and never has its fash
ion department, now almost entirely given over to
American designed fashions, given such widespread
satisfaction, nor has its correspondence from its
readers about the fashion department ever been so
large or reflective of such keen interest.

posures. Yesterday her former champion.
Hereward Carrlngton, came to her
rescue again and used her exploits as
arguments to prove that "psychical re
search warrants the belief In a spirit
world."
That was the toplo which the Brook
lyn philosophers had chosen for their
lecture and debate. But beforo the meet
ing wan half over the r.eal question of
the hour was the nature of the hreezo
that developed over the scar on tho
scalp of Medium Eusapla whenever sho
was having one of her best seances.
Mr. Carrlngton carefully described tho
scar and told that the strange phe
nomenon of the cold air current was one
of the things which first convinced him
of the honesty of the medium a psychic
powers. He considered It ono of her
best accomplishments.
"I firmly believe In this cold breeze,"
said Mr. Carrlngton. "When Mme. Pal
adins was giving a seance those near
her felt Its effect. And when a strip of
tissue paper was held over the scar It
fluttered liko a flag In the wind."
Mr. Carrlngton went on to say that
tho most diligent search of Paladlna's
head failed to reveal any hidden con
nection between the near and a source
of air pressure. He didn't sen how sho
could blow with her lips to make that
wind rise from the scar. He continued:
I do not think now thnt It was real
physical air that rose from the woman's
head. It was a payable agitation of thn
ether, which was really an example of thn
externalized vital energy of the medium.
And that waa not the only place where
this manifestation was evident. Thero
was also a spot on the medium's left knee
whioh had the same property and caused
what seemed like cold-air to circulate,
Mr. Carrlngton talked for an hour
nnd then his critics In the audience let
go. A man who gave his name as
Henry Rowley said! '
There may be something to this spirit
world, in .describing which Mr, Carrlng
ton has wasted so much of our time, but
to have wind escaping from the bruin of
ICusapla Paladlno and to have" tho wliolo
spirit world rest on that, why, It's foolish.
Even If 'she did blow through her scalp
why does that give her psychic powers?
Mr. Carrlngton admitted that wind
blew from the back of Busapla's head
and from the side of her left knee only
when she had a good seance. He con
cluded: Mu uateubitaUr had wonderful Mrohlo

not control over these powers at all times.
But Paladlno was so vain that she could
not admit failure. Then sho would resort
to all the tricks known tn the profession.
Hy tlm time the meeting was over
Mr. Carrlngton was ready to allow that
little was known about tho world of
spirits.
